[Mitchell Marks] > I'd still be interested in hearing about access through the > filesystem or a program. To the best of my knowledge, there isn't a "convenient" command-line interface for changing users passwords. However, you can do it from the Python interpreter. Each list's configuration is saved as a "marshalled" Python dict, and in this dict the key 'passwords' have as it's value a dict with lowercased member addresses as keys and passwords (in clear text) as values. > BTW, … [View More]

Archiving Automatically
by Feisal Umar June 4, 1999

June 4, 1999

Earlier I had a problem where whenever I tried to access the "Downloadable version" version of my list's archive. (The xxx.txt.gz has permission 600) I managed to fix it via manually running $prefix/bin/arch <listname> archives/private/<list-name>.mbox/<list-name>.mbox Shouldn't the bin/arch function be run automatically for each of my list? My list works fine in all other aspect (fingers crossed) except for 'downloadable archive'. Did I miss a step elsewhere? Thanks in … [View More]

'Too many open files' in run_queue
by Dave Cinege June 4, 1999

June 4, 1999

OK I'm further investigating my run_queue problems. The reason it woudl just hang is there was a stale lock file. If I clear the lock file I get: Logging error: <StampedLogger to '/var/lib/mailman/logs/smtp-failures'> Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Logging/Logger.py", line 55, in __get_f IOError: (24, 'Too many open files') Original log message: (24, 'Too many open files') Jun 04 18:06:49 1999 TrySMTPDelivery: To patrickb(a)mamco-qaf.com: Jun 04 18:06:49 … [View More]

Restricting subscriptions
by Richard Ellerbrock June 4, 1999

June 4, 1999

Is there a way to limit the users that can subscribe to lists based on domain name. I know you can have confirmations on or off, but can I have confirm off for *.eskom.co.za and confirm on for anybody else that attempts to subscribe to a list. The reason that I want this is that I have a machine with both private and public (internet) lists and I do not want Internet users being able to subscribe to our intrenal lists. Making the lists hidden is also not an option as the users cannot see them … [View More]

Can I change a user's password for him?
by Mitchell Marks June 3, 1999

June 3, 1999

A subscriber tells me that the password generated for him is not working as the "old password" entry in the change-password section, and indeed it doesn't work when I go to his config page and try it. He sent it to me in what looked like an excerpt from the message sent to him from the "Email my password to me" button. It also doesn't work for viewing the list's private archive as him. If this were his general login password, I would offer to change it for him. Is there something … [View More]

Compaq/DEC - True64 Problem
by Jeff Wallace June 3, 1999

June 3, 1999

I all, Wonder if anyone out there is runing mailman on a DEC Personal Workstation 500AU. I have installed mailman and have a problem, hope someone can assist: It will receive mail and put it in the archive, but will not send it to others on the mailing list.

oddness - please help
by Corbett J. Klempay June 3, 1999

June 3, 1999

Apparently totally out of the blue, our installation stopped working. There are only 2 of us with root, and neither of us have touched anything. All of sudden, mail sent to any of the lists disappears into a black hole, and any attempts to access a mailman-generated page returns Internal Server Error (500). I thought maybe whatever it is might clear up by just doing an upgrade from b11 --> rc1...but even that has issues, as running configure dies like this: checking for mailman UID... cat: … [View More]
