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've asked this question once or twice before, but no response yet.
How do I manually convert a standard, previously existing, concatenated
MBOX format archive into a mailman archive?
Also, no response to my question about mailman 2-beta2
Posts that must be approved by administrator do not make it into
the archive.
1) is this is a known bug?
2) Is there a way to take the <list>.mbox file (which appears to be okay
for whatever strange reason..) and manually just add the messages that
are not in the pipermail archive to the pipermail archive?
The "general options" menu has a umbrella_member_suffix option, which is
described as "Suffix for use when this list is an umbrella for other
lists, according to setting of previous "umbrella_list" setting."
But there is no "umbrella_list" setting anywhere that I can find!
(I have one list subscribed to another, and there are problems with
replies to messages sent to the first and received on the second. I was
hoping the "umbrella list" option would give me some way of fixing this.)

What MTA are you using? Quite simply, I would not recommend
anything but QMail or Postfix.
In ~mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py or ~mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py set
both MAX_SPAWNS and SMTP_MAX_RCPTS high, the latter as high as yuor
MTA will take.
Is your MTA running as a daemon or thru inetd? (should be runnign
thru inetd for minimal startup time)
Is your MTA configured to do host lookups or other address
verification (other than being sytacically correct) on all
connections/addresses? If so, configure it NOT do lookups on
localhost and all local IPs, and to cease checking addresses for
other than syntactic correctness.
If you telnet to localhost on the SMTP port, how long does it take
before the MTA's welcome message appears? If more than a fraction
of a second, check for other DNS settings, and anything like TCP
Wrappers or other security filters.
If your MTA is logging thru syslogd, make sure that the entries in
/etc/syslog.conf for the MTA are set to not sync on each write (a
'-' before the path).
Check any MTA settings related to system load, # of messages
receieved in a single connection, # of recipients per message etc,
and set appropriately.

Hello.
I am about to make a decision on which way to go for a dedicated
server, Cobalt, or a normal Intel PC dedicate server.
I have a preference for the Cobalt servers.
Has anyone installed Python, and Mailman on such a system?
Is there an online resource with a description on how to do that?
Do the Cobalt servers work with Mailman?
Thank you
Hi!
I was translating the customizable HTML pages for the webinterface of
mailman into Dutch! And it looks very nice now, accept for some
messages that come in place for certain tags (e.g. <MM-Restricted-List-Message>)
they are still English. What would be the nicest and cleanest way to
get those also translated to Dutch?
TIA,
Paul

i was panicky,
therefore my last message was inexact.
it turns out that one of my lists is not working any more.
the web interface still works,
and the list is visible,
but mail bounces
other lists on the server ARE working,
so this is a problem of just this list.
this is the error message.
Traceback (innermost last):
File "/servers/mailman/scripts/post", line 45, in ?
mlist = MailList.MailList(sys.argv[1])
IndexError: list index out of range
554 "|/servers/mailman/mail/wrapper post... unknown mailer error 1
i did a checkdb for the list,
and it did not find any errors.
how can i revive the list?
erich
you can visit the interface at
http://sunsite.univie.ac.at/mailman/listinfo
i cannot send mail to my lists any more.
the web interface still works,

In the README.NETSCAPE file included with
Mailman-1.1 through
2.0beta 2, you point out a problem with Netscape
4.6 and provide
a fix which we have found does resolve the
problem. However we have
found that the same problem exists with Netscape
4.7 and 4.72.
The same fix specified in the README works with
both. It would be
helpful to modify the README.NETSCAPE file to cite
all three revisions
of Netscape.
Thanks

Yup, absolutely. Somehow that sentence got mangled between brain
and fingers/keyboard when I typed it.
