cookie authorization

Hi All, I am using Mailman, 1.1 I believe, on a Solaris 2.6 server. It installed great and works great except for this one little problem. When I try to go and admin my list as the administrator, I get kicked out of the admin page and I get an error telling me the cookie authorization failed. Any clues as to how I might get around this? Thanks for your time and help. Chris Rutledge

Setup problem
by Tony Grant 27 Apr '00

27 Apr '00

Hello, My problem is quite simple: our mail server is behind a dial up connection, the mail is stocked on our ISP's mail server until we open a connection. The mail is then delivered to an IMAP server. I would like to divert mail for mailman lists to another machine on the LAN. Does some sendmail/IMAP guru have the secret recipie to do this? TIA Tony Grant

Lists dead on upgrade
by Deirdre Saoirse 26 Apr '00

26 Apr '00

Despite having followed the instructions, despite having (mostly) working lists, they're completely broken now that I've upgraded to 2.0b2 (from 1.0r3). I'm getting: ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post spindle" (expanded from: <spindle(a)weirdre.com>) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 554 "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post spindle"... unknown mailer error 2 [ Part 2: "Delivery Status" ] Reporting-MTA: dns; adelie.deirdre.org NOTHING else has changed on my mail setup. None of the responses I've read in the archives seem applicable. Any ideas? -- _Deirdre * http://www.linuxcabal.org * http://www.deirdre.net "Dictators ride to and fro upon tigers which they dare not dismount.

Has anyone configured mailman on Linux 6.1
by Raghavan R M 26 Apr '00

26 Apr '00

Hi, I have installed Mailman 1.1 on Linux 6.1 . The only issue i am having is that i am not able to subscribe to the list through the web pages & i am not able to post any messages. Here is an example : I have created a list called test with owner's address as rraman(a)ctp.com It then created an email id as test@domain, i will have to send a mail to this address to post messages. It also creates a email id as test-request@domain, to which i can send all the requests. Now my questions : 1. Should the email ids test@domain & test-request@domain be created manually 2. How does the posting work 3. Why is that i am not able to add members through the web. Please let me know if any of have any solution. Thanks for the help, Raghavan

Extracting e-mail addresses from config.db
by Ashley Kleynhans 26 Apr '00

26 Apr '00

Does anyone by any chance have a utility to extract e-mail addresses from a corrupt config.db file. One of our config.db files got corrupted and we have restored an older instance of the file from backup but now we need to add the corrupt details to the old file. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

no confirmation when subscribing
by Marcin Sochacki 26 Apr '00

26 Apr '00

Hello! Would it be possible to set up Mailman not to require e-mail confirmation of subscription? I just want to make an HTML form, where someone enters his/her e-mail address and he/she is immediately subscribed (administrator's approval is not necessary, too). Marcin

Re: [Mailman-Users] I can't run cgi-bin!!! help me

Thank Jim! But, After I try to use your comment, I got an Mailman CGI error!!! like: Should I re-configure mailman? According to the above message, I could use "./configure --with-cgi-gid=99"? Please get me an answer!!! ========================================== Error message in Netscape browser: Mailman CGI error!!! The expected gid of the Mailman CGI wrapper did not match the gid as set by the Web server. The most likely cause is that Mailman was configured and installed incorrectly. Please read the INSTALL instructions again, paying close attention to the --with-cgi-gid configure option. This entry is being stored in your syslog: Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 505, GOT gid 99. (Reconfigure to take 99?) ================================= Should I re-configure mailman? According to the above message, I could use "./configure --with-cgi-gid=99"?
