You can do this easily today by inserting a filter before the Mailman wrapper in your aliases file. Search the archoves and/or freshmeat. There are many tools out there to do the MIME stripping. -- J C Lawrence Home: claw(a)kanga.nu ---------(*) Other: coder(a)kanga.nu http://www.kanga.nu/~claw/ Keys etc: finger claw(a)kanga.nu --=| A man is as sane as he is dangerous to his environment |=--

Re: [Mailman-Users] Python defunct

No, but I find using "truss -f" (which is called something else on Linux...something like strace, and I forget the "follow-children" flag) can be very useful in such cases. Start tracing your webserver, so you can trace all the way through the CGI execution. I'll bet you find the source of the problem right away. Of course you've checked the obvious things like logs/*, right? > I have a RedHat Linux 6.2 plain vanilla install.

here you are a quick and small patch to send password via a mail request. This is useful especially when you don't give you web access to mailing list users. the syntax is very simple. mail -s"sendpass <user>" maillist-request@domain</dev/null the password will be mailed to <user>. feedback is welcome :D -- Cristian Prevedello, System Administrator, Linuxcare Italia spa +39.049.804.3.411 tel, +39.049.803.6.484 fax plasma(a)linuxcare.it, http://www.linuxcare.com/ Linuxcare.

Archival Problems
by Michael Rose July 24, 2000

July 24, 2000

Hello, I wrote to this before, but I did not get any responses. In May of this year, we upgraded from Mailman 1.0 to Mailman 1.1. Since then I have had problems with the archives updating themselves. The last message in the archive is dated May 26 and I am told that this list acquires a lot of traffic and would have messages since then. Has there been any reports of problems with updated from 1.0 to 1.1? Should I upgrade to Mailman 2.0X? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Michael A.

I was wonder if there is a way to find a user in multiple lists without going to each list? And is there a way to remove them? Thanks Mike

Re: [Mailman-Users] does anyone configured exim-qpopper-mysql-mailman?
by Chuck Dale July 24, 2000

July 24, 2000

Hi Carsten, I don't mean to be annoying but there is a little more you have to do before anyone can help you: 1. Post to the list not personally. 2. Specify exact versions of software you are running. 3. Try it a few different times in different ways and report what happens each time (read: start from scratch at least once). 4. Read the docs again. Straight off from the error message sounds like perhaps you gave the wrong permissions to configure but then it is rather hard to tell without more info.

not all messages delivered

hi all! i've checked if somebody already asked this question and i have not seen anything like this. if it has been asked once and i have not seen so i am sorry. we are using mailman 2.0beta2 in conjunction with sendmail 8.10.1 on freebsd 4.0 and it worked fine for over 1 month. our mailserver handles several domains (~60) so we mapped as in howtos described between virtusertable and aliases. but now we seem to have a problem: mailman/sendmail does not deliver to all the persons which are subscribed to two of our lists (one with about 1200 and the other with nearly 1900 members). the system maillog (/var/log/maillog) says that most of the messages were delivered, but some 100 were not. the mailman log (/home/mailman/logs/errorssays): --- cut --- Jul 24 08:55:04 2000 post(11257): Traceback (innermost last): post(11257): File "/home/mailman/scripts/post", line 86, in ? post(11257): main() post(11257): File "/home/mailman/scripts/post", line 62, in main post(11257): mlist.Post(msg) post(11257): File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 1293, in Post post(11257): Mailman.Handlers.HandlerAPI.DeliverToList(self, msg) post(11257): File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/HandlerAPI.py", line 61, in DeliverToList post(11257): pipeline_delivery(mlist, msg, pipeline) post(11257): File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/HandlerAPI.py", line 37, in pipeline_delivery post(11257): func(mlist, msg) post(11257): File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Sendmail.py", line 88, in pr ocess post(11257): raise SendmailHandlerError(errcode) post(11257): Mailman.Handlers.Sendmail .
