Hi all, This has been flooding my mailbox for a couple of days now, and I would really like to stop it. Any ideas? The delivery program "/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post serviceoutage" produced the following output while delivering the message to serviceoutage(a)koz.com 250-Traceback (innermost last): 250- File "/home/mailman/scripts/post", line 45, in ? 250- mlist = MailList.MailList(sys.argv[1]) 250- File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 62, in __init__ 250- self.Load() 250- File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 804, in Load 250- self.Lock() 250- File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 1373, in Lock 250- self.__lock.lock() 250- File "/home/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 245, in lock 250- os.unlink(self.__tmpfname) 250-OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/mailman/locks/serviceoutage.lock.corp01.koz.com.2068' The program "/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post serviceoutage" exited with an unknown value of 256 while delivering the message to serviceoutage(a)koz.com

Final Test Bug?
by David Smead 05 May '00

05 May '00

This looks like a problem following the INSTALL instructions for Linux. I ran bin/newlist in mailman-2.0beta2. Should I have used an earlier more stable version? Enter the name of the list: test Enter the email of the person running the list: smead(a)amplepower.com Initial test password: Entry for aliases file: ## test mailing list ## created: 04-May-2000 mailman test: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post test" test-admin: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner test" test-request: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test" test-owner: test-admin Hit enter to continue with test owner notification... Traceback (innermost last): File "bin/newlist", line 154, in ? main(sys.argv) File "bin/newlist", line 148, in main HandlerAPI.DeliverToUser(mlist, msg) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/HandlerAPI.py", line 82, in DeliverToUser pipeline_delivery(mlist, msg, pipeline) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/HandlerAPI.py", line 37, in pipeline_delivery func(mlist, msg) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Replybot.py", line 37, in process toadmin = getattr(msg, 'toadmin', 0) TypeError: getattr requires exactly 2 arguments; 3 given Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Trouble with SSL and forms

Trouble with SSL and forms
by Jeff.Lessem+mailman＠Colorado.EDU 04 May '00

04 May '00

I am setting up Mailman 1.1 and I am having some difficulty getting the subscription page to work with SSL. I believe I have Apache setup correctly, I can access the page through my SSL server, and have a REDIRECT permanent /mailman/ https://ibgwww.colorado.edu/mailman/ on the non-SSL server. The problem is that the general listinfo page (/mailman/listinfo/test) does not work correctly. Anytime any form is submitted it comes back with the "You must supply a valid email address. You must supply a valid password, and confirm it." response. The problem seems to be that the forms are setup like <FORM Method=POST ACTION="http://ibgwww.colorado.edu/mailman/subscribe/test"> despite the DEFAULT_URL = 'https://ibgwww.colorado.edu/mailman' line in mm_cfg.py. The admin forms are setup as <FORM action="../../admin/test/members" method="POST"> which works correctly. If I turn off redirect then the listinfo page works correctly, but that defeats the purpose of using SSL, which is to force some security on even naive users. -- Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Mailman-Developers] www.list.org is down?
by John Viega 04 May '00

Yes. We found out last night that we've recently been hacked. We've had to take down all services until we are fairly confident that we know how the intruder got in, and that there are no more trojans lying around.
