I can't get to the pending request page for a mailing list.
(My web clients just say "waiting for response" and finally give up.)
I think it is because there are too many pending requests after some
problems. (config.db is almost 10MB.)
How can I do this some other way?
I have some people with many lists, who want to use the same restricted
posters for each list. While I can just manually add / remove people as
required, this is something of a hassle, and could lead to inconsistencies
between the list.
So, would it be possible for the restricted posters to be stored in a file
?
Cheers,
Christine
I have a problem with my freshly-installed Mailman 1.1. When a mail is
sent to a list, it goes through properly. Everything works fine.
*Unless* the sender is on the list host. In that case, a duplicate
is also made and is held in sendmail (8.9.3)'s queue until mailman's "post"
script is killed. At that time the duplicate is sent out to all list
members and the zombie processes (one sh, one python) that were being
held open finally get cleaned up.
Python 1.5.2 (#2, Jun 10 1999, 15:33:16) [GCC 2.7.2.1] on freebsd3
List of processes being held open:
44829 ?? Is 0:00.01 sendmail -oem -oi -N failure -R full -- test(a)foo.org
44830 ?? Is 0:00.00 sh -c /usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper post test
44831 ?? I 0:00.22 /usr/local/bin/python -S /usr/local/mailman/scripts/post test
44832 ?? Z 0:00.00 (python)
44833 ?? Z 0:00.00 (sh)
Sendmail logs from the message:

20), delay=00:00:02, xdelay=00:00:02, mailer=prog, stat=Sent
This only happens when the sender is local, on the same box as the
Mailman installation.
Are there known issues with this situation? Can I provide more
information to aid in analysis?

Hello...
I can not seem to be able to access the pending admin requests??
I can get in to the regular admin stuff but not the pending admin stuff....
It just hangs after i either click on the link from within the admin section or after i tasks me for the password...
HELP!
I am using Python 1.5.2
Mailman 1.1
Redhat 6.1
Also how would I increase the allowed amount of Cc's as this is the major reason why I have pending requests cuz mailman does not like too many C.c.'s!?
Thanks

In your httpd.conf file insert the following directive:
Alias /pipermail/ "$prefix/archives/public/"
where $prefix is the directory where you install mailman
eg Alias /pipermail/ "/usr/local/mailman/archives/public/"

I have a hunch ...
Are you running an Apache web server?? Or more importantly, who owns the
processes for CGI programs that your web server starts? "nobody' is it? That
being the case "nobody" would need to be in your mailman group AND, group
write
permissions need to be set for the /home/httpd/html/mailman directory.
Hows that sound??

hello
Is there an option with sync_members for suppressing the message for
people leaving the list? There is one for suppressing the welcome
message but none for the leaving message.
thanx

IMHO no way. You have to create a new user on the system for mailman. Then
you must create a directory and set the gid on it. After installing mailman
you need to make entries in the alias file of sendmail and you have to edit
the httpd.conf file of the apache server.

I am using a virtual server, and my hosting provider is not going to let me
create any group as root.
Do I stand a chance to install Mailman anyway?
Tahnks,
