Web submissions, Search archives
by David Aue 28 Aug '99

Mailman rocks. This is one of the best looking/working products (freeware or not) around! I would be interested in having more WebBBS type features for our less savvy and more impatient users. Specifically this would mean the ability to reply to a message in the archive from a web page without being a list member. Has anyone done anything like this already? If not, is there a way to pipe mail into Mailman and get it to temporarily ignore if the user is signed up? Has anyone out there added search capabilities to the archiving? Perhaps interfaced it to MhonArc or another archiver that already provides search? David Aue Nirvis Systems

Basically you just need to get python installed properly on your server. Check out the pyhton web site (www.python.org) for more info on this. Depending on the distribution of Linux you are running you may be able to just get working binaries through a package manager. RedHat and Debian for instance will install python for you automagically. Once Pyhton is installed and working, install Mailman by following the INSTALL and README. Mailman is very simple to install if you follow the instructions carefully. It worked for me the first shot. -----Original Message----- From: Che Dong [SMTP:chedong@ihw.com.cn] Sent: Friday, August 27, 1999 2:24 AM To: mailman-users(a)python.org Subject: [Mailman-Users] hello, I m a new comer of Mailman user :) << File: ATT00008.txt; charset = gb2312 >>

TIA, It looks to me like you could possibly need to add 127.0.0.1 (or whichever interface connects to the smtp server) to the sendmail allowable relay hosts file. Give that a shot. >Prashant -- NAME: Christopher Schulte MAIL: christopher(a)schulte.org SITE: http://www.schulte.org/ FINGER: christopher(a)shell.schulte.org "How can't we be happy, when we live in a world where pizza is just a phone call away?!" --Christopher Schulte

Help - Dead in water

This is our 7th day using Mailman. Mailman has stopped processing subscription requests and confirmations. It worked perfectly for a week, and today, mid-morning, it stopped. The pending_subscriptions.db is very large, about 18MB. Could that be related to this problem? Or, could it be locked somehow? In neither case is an entry being made in the Subscribe log. On any attempt to process requests, I get the following: An unexpected Mailman error has occurred in MailCommandHandler.ParseMailCommands(). Here is the traceback: Traceback (innermost last): File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailCommandHandler.py", line 207, in ParseMailCommands self.__dispatch[cmd](args, line, msg) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailCommandHandler.py", line 549, in ProcessSubscribeCmd self.AddMember(subscribe_address, password, digest, remote) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 885, in AddMember cookie = Pending().new(name, password, digest) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Pending.py", line 67, in new db = self.__load() File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Pending.py", line 97, in __load return marshal.load(fp)EOFError: EOF read where object expected On any attempt to process confirmations, I get the following: An unexpected Mailman error has occurred in MailCommandHandler.ParseMailCommands().
