smtp-failures

Aug. 9, 1999

Hi, I keep getting "tons" of the messages below in my /var/lib/mailman/logs/smtp-failures log. I am using mailman with exim, and I do now know what causes this. I have tried to find all information available regarding mailman and exim and do what it takes to make it run, but I still get this. I also get a lot of messages to root telling me smtp is down. This did not happen before I installed mailman. I have to add that both exim and the list seems to work fine except for the fact I have a … [View More]

Who is allowed to post - check From:, not Sender:/envelope
by Ian Jackson Aug. 9, 1999

Aug. 9, 1999

An admin of a list on my system, Steve McIntyre, writes: > Mailman seems to be a bit odd in checking identities - it's checking > Sender: lines instead of From: lines to see if people are allowed to use > the list. I've had to manually add several people to the allowed list to > work around this. I have USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER = 0 # rec. by Richard B. Pyne rpyne(a)kinfolk.org in my mm_cfg.py. What I really want is for it to check the `From:' header. I'm running Mailman 1.0rc2, from … [View More]

Changing expected user
by Bek Oberin Aug. 8, 1999

Aug. 8, 1999

Can I change the user that mailman expects to talk to WITHOUT recompiling/reinstalling it? Got aweird problem where I install the .deb file, which expects user 33, but the webservers here are non-standard for debian an d run as user 501. And I'd MUCH like not to have to use the non-.deb install. Debian's so tightly coupled. bekj who wants to beaat on the head the person that used the non-standard lusername in the first place ... but I work with them :) -- : --Hacker-Neophile-Eclectic-… [View More]

Finally - All my installation problems solved!
by Jim Washington Aug. 8, 1999

Aug. 8, 1999

Hehe. This really should be part of the installation instructions: mailman (the user) must be a member of the mailman group. You would not believe the number of http error 500 and unexpected mailman errors and unknown mailer errors and cron spam I went through before I got the clue. -- Regards, -- Jim Washington

Mass subscription problems
by Christian Dysthe Aug. 7, 1999

Aug. 7, 1999

Hi, yesterday I subscribed about 30.000 (from our old majordomo list) to a list we run with the add_members script. We chose to have welcome mail sent out to them. Our MTA (exim) broke down, and we ended up with "a million" python/mailman processes, but very little activity. After a while I killed the processes. Everyone is subscribed so that part went well, but I have tons of files in /var/lib/mailman/data that looks like quened mail, but I am not sure. All list functions work fine now, but … [View More]

Three problems: exim, archives and separate replies.
by Christian Dysthe Aug. 6, 1999

Aug. 6, 1999

Hi, I have just set up mailman on our Debian Slink web server. It seems to run fine, but I do have two problems: 1. When I try to click on a list archive I get a message like this: -- The requested URL /pipermail/opera-newsletter/ was not found on this server. I can not find how to correct this and set up a working archive. What am I missing? 2. I am using Exim as MTA. It works fine except for when I batch subscribe members. If I batch subscribe a lot of them exim goes down or becomes VERY … [View More]
