April 3, 2000

Hi, I'm using mailman 1.1 and I'm trying to use the regex filtering for messages: I have 3 subdomains - larry,moe,curly .duke.edu and I want posts coming from there to be posted immediately and I'd like posts coming from not there to be passed to the admin to be dealt with on a case by case basis. so I went into the privacy options and have been playing guessing games with the regex in the Hold Posts with header value matching a specified regexp. My first question is what regexp system do … [View More]

exim

Does anyone have, or know of a module for Exim's Mail transport arent. Debian Linux now defaults to install Exim instead of sendmail. If I have to I'll remove Exim, but it has so many dependicies it will be a big task. Wayne Sitton

Defaults?
by Gregory Leblanc April 3, 2000

April 3, 2000

Is there a way to set defaults for all new lists? I want to have it (I know, you guys don't advise it) default to send replies to the list, and not to the poster. Thanks, Greg

Thanks that makes a big difference. :-) 'course I'm still having trouble and it's covered in A FAQ (why are the troubleshooting docs in three different locations?). The problem I'm having now is listed towards the end of the INSTALL document. Here's a quote from INSTALL: Problem: I send mail to the list, and get back mail saying, "sh: wrapper not available for sendmail programs" Solution: Your system uses sendmail restricted shell. You need to configure smrsh by creating a symbolic link from the mail wrapper ($prefix/mail/wrapper) to the directory identifying executables allowed to run under smrsh. Some common names for this directory are /var/admin/sm.bin, /usr/admin/sm.bin or /etc/smrsh. Note that on Debian linux, the system makes /usr/lib/sm.bin, which is wrong, you will need to create the directory /usr/admin/sm.bin and add the link there. NOTE: any aliases newaliases spits out will need to be adjusted to point to the secure link to the wrapper. So, uhm, since that's not english, I have to guess at what to do. I've tried creating a link in /etc/smrsh called wrapper that points to /opt/mailman/mail/wrapper. This makes the error when I try to post to the list go to an account on the mailman machine instead of to the sender of the message, but it still don't work. Is that the right procedure? Do I have to change something else? Thanks for any help. Greg [View Less]

Solaris: max. no. of file descriptors
by Annette Strupp-Adams April 3, 2000

April 3, 2000

Configuration: Mailman 1.1 Solaris 2.7, Ultra Sparc Enterprise Python 1.5.2 I am in the process of installing Mailman. Does Mailman require at least 150 file descriptors in order to work reliably while sending email ? Does Mailman show the full name and address of users, besides their login name ? Thanks, Annette Annette Strupp-Adams Senior Systems Analyst astrupp(a)nlm.nih.gov National Library of Medicine
