Too many pending requests?
by Per Starback 07 Jul '03

07 Jul '03

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?

Using a file for restricted posters
by Christine Davis 03 Feb '00

03 Feb '00

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

mailman problem with local sender
by Gregory Sutter 01 Feb '00

01 Feb '00

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 ??

Pending admin requests; not able to access them...
by Rob Morin 31 Jan '00

31 Jan '00

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 Rob Morin PSINet/TotalNet Montreal, Canada (514) 861-3737 Ext 227 morinr(a)psi.ca

RE: [Mailman-Users] Mailman not creating HTML pages

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/" -----Original Message----- From: mailman-users-admin(a)python.org [mailto:mailman-users-admin@python.org]On Behalf Of Scott Kinnane-Systems Support Engineer PGS SPS Perth Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2000 12:04 AM To: Marc W. Mauss Cc: Mark Starr; mailman-users(a)python.org Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman not creating HTML pages 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?? scott "Marc W.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Can I run Mailman on a virtual server?
by Markus Keller OrcaSoft 29 Jan '00

Hello Mario >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? 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, Mario
