A generic search engine is the way to go. I use HTDig very successfully here: http://www.htdig.org -- Richard Ellerbrock richarde(a)eskom.co.za >>> paul reilly <paulr(a)tcd.ie> 2000/11/30 03:31:53 >>> Hi, I've just installed Mailman.

Hi, I've just installed Mailman. I want to add a search capability to the archives. Is there a "known good" way of doing this, or do I just install a generic search engine to do the job? Thanks Paul

> Here is an excerpt from the smtp log: > "Nov 29 23:28:55 2000 (457) All recipients refused: (111, 'Connection > refused') Looks to me like your MTA isn't running. Can you send mail outside of mailman from that machine? Do your MTA logs say anything? > Here is an excerpt from the qrunner log: > "Nov 29 23:51:01 2000 (2960) Could not acquire qrunner lock > Nov 29 23:52:01 2000 (2987) Could not acquire qrunner lock > Nov 29 23:53:02 2000 (3025) Could not acquire qrunner lock > Nov 29 23:54:01 2000 (3083) Could not acquire qrunner lock" That looks like there are stale locks as well, probably resulting from the failure above > > Here is an excerpt from the error log: > "Nov 29 23:29:48 2000 (4735) thelist db file was corrupt, using fallback: > /home/mailman/lists/thelist/config.db.last > Nov 29 23:29:48 2000 (4725) thelist db file was corrupt, using fallback: > /home/mailman/lists/thelist/config.db.last > Nov 29 23:29:51 2000 (4720) thelist db file was corrupt, using fallback: > /home/mailman/lists/thelist/config.db.last > Nov 29 23:30:05 2000 (4736) thelist db file was corrupt, using fallback: > /home/mailman/lists/thelist/config.db.last" > > When I run check_db on "thelist" list the result state that it is fine.

Was your machine very sick then (reboot, maybe?)

Announcing Mailman 2.0 release candidate 1
by barry＠wooz.org 30 Nov '00

30 Nov '00

Hello folks, Okay, we're really close now! I've put together Mailman 2.0 release candidate 1 and uploaded it to SourceForge. You can grab the tarball from the file release page at http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=14446 www.list.org and www.gnu.org should be updated soon. This release contains a bunch of bug fixes and a few local security patches. The source code is essentially frozen, modulo any last minute show stopper bugs. I will probably make a pass at the documentation before the final release. Expect 2.0 final hopefully by the weekend. Enjoy, -Barry

You can't; that's what we were just talking about today. I had a patch that worked for 2.0beta5; I'm updating it to 2.0final. It's not a very clean solution, but it works for me and Harold Paulson. I'll post a note when I've got the patch reposted.

scanner help
by SpecialKV＠aol.com 30 Nov '00

30 Nov '00

I have just purchased a visioneer 6200 usb scanner and am having problems installing it. When I first installed it, it worked perfectely. The next day, I had problems with my keyboard and had to get a new one. Since then, my scanner will not perform. I have tried to uninstall the paper port program and reinstall, but my computer will still not recognize the scanner. What do I do next?

Batch list admin functions?
by David Champion 30 Nov '00

30 Nov '00

I have a list on my server whose admin has neglected her duties for the past 14 months, and who now longer exists. The admin queue has some uncertain, but large, number of messages in it. I'd like to reject them all with the same explanation, and the web interface will want me to type/paste it in to all the little boxes, which I don't really want to do. Can someone suggest the correct code to handle this with withlist? I don't know enough Python to make it up myself. Other approaches to the problem are welcome, too. Thanks. I'm using Mailman 1.0. Yes, I know what's current. :) On a tangent: does it not make sense to store queued admin requests in separate files, so that they can be handled arbitrarily and without instantial Python code? Something like a .../lists/listname/adminq/%05d.txt file containing the message, I'm thinking. -- -D. dgc(a)uchicago.edu NSIT University of Chicago

list not working
by curator 30 Nov '00

30 Nov '00

Hi, I'm the administrator of a list called foodshed(a)fertileground.org. It is hosted by pair networks and my administrative link is http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/admin/foodshed and the password is "mallwart" - feel free to look at my settings. So far, I'm the only one of our 55 members who is getting the messages. There are 3 other co-administrators who are also not getting messages from the list. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help, Gail
