Install headache
by paz Aug. 28, 2000

Aug. 28, 2000

Installing 2.0b5 on FreeBSD 3.4. Apache 1.3.9. Python installed and apparently happy. I've tried a few different install attempts based on prior notes and the install instructions. Also tried the package from the FreeBSD site; no joy. I grabbed the source and began... As root: Created user mailman. FreeBSD adduser created group mailman at the same time. Default shell is tcsh. Switched to user mailman. Copied mailman-2.0beta5 into /home/mailman/mailman-2.0beta5.tgz. tar xvzf mailman-2.0beta5.… [View More]

RE: [Mailman-Users] Can't change list configs

Ok, Upgrading to 2.0b5 helped some of my issues but I still have one. If I dump the config.db files (for backup reasons) I can see that there are two incorrect entries ('host_name': 'lists.mydomain.com' AND 'web_page_url': 'http://lists.mydomain.com/private'). How do I change these with "withlist"? I looked at the help for this, and can get into the ">>>" prompt. What should I type from here? Am I in the right place to change this? -----Original Message----- From: Gregory Leblanc … [View More]

Mailman 2.0 beta 5 / RedHat 6.1
by Kevin of Thornbury Aug. 28, 2000

Aug. 28, 2000

Hello! This weekend I upgraded my Mailman 1.0 to Mailman 2.0 beta 5 on my RedHat 6.1 server. What I've found so far is one mailing list is unreachable. While I can get to the admin pages of other mailing lists fine, this one won't display. Netscape just says, "Connect: Host X contacted. Waiting for reply" and hangs there. Eventually I think it gives a "document contains no data" error. I've tried to rmlist -a <list> and then newlist <list> but it doesn't solve my problem, I … [View More]

Admin moderation and forwarding of rejection notice
by Malcolm Tobias Aug. 28, 2000

Aug. 28, 2000

Greetings All, I'm running Mailman 2.0b5 and co-administering a closed, moderated list. When rejecting posts, it would be nice if I could forward both the message and the reason for rejecting the message to the admins. Currently, the "additionally forward this message to" feature only includes the base message and not the reason for rejection. I'm not sure if this falls in the bug or feature request category. Cheers, Malcolm -- Malcolm Tobias mtobias(a)wugrav.wustl.edu

Can't change list configs
by Meredith, Robert Aug. 28, 2000

Aug. 28, 2000

Okay, I recently moved approximately 20 lists from an old Mailman v1.1 server to a new Mailman v2.0b4 server. On the old server, the lists were at http://lists.mydomain.com/private/, now they are at http://dnindns1.mydomain.com/mailman. If I go to http://dnindns1.mydomain.com/mailman/listinfo, then to the "list admin overview page", then select the list, then enter the List Administrative Password I get to a page where I can change the General Options of this particular list. If I scroll … [View More]

Help, please.
by Phil Barnett Aug. 28, 2000

Aug. 28, 2000

I've spent about 15 hours in the last two days trying to wind my way through the maze I'm dealing with. First, I have a Redhat 6.2 server running Plesk Server Administrator. Plesk creates a fairly secure environment, including using suexec for cgi-bin security. This is giving me fits, since it means I have to give special ownership and specific rights to the /home/mailman/cgi-bin directory. This means that once I get this directory set so that the cgi-bin files will execute that bin/… [View More]check_perms returns a bunch of errors, ie: it thinks that most of it should be owned by mailman instead of the suexec group id. Also, bin/check_perms suggests that the cgi-bin directory should be chmod 02775, but suexec insists on 02755. Also, I had to chown a lot of files in the /home/mailman directory to the suexec id, ie: chown -R fiberhos.pleskcli instead of mailman.mailman. I'm wondering at this point if I can even get it to work at all... Am I beating a dead horse? What do I have so far? If I log into the server at: https://www.fiberhosting.com/mailman/admin, I get the admin page, but if I try to open https://www.fiberhosting.com/mailman/admin/test, it just locks up and waits several minutes until it times out. There is nothing written to the logs/error file or any other file in the logs directory. the suexec log shows that a cgi script ran without problems. There is nothing in the apache logs. After it timed out, the python process stopped. (ps aux) I'd really appreciate any help I can get from any of you. Thanks... Here is some information on the server (from an error I corrected during my getting permissions set) Redhat 6.2 Mailman version 2.0beta5 Python information: sys.version 1.5.2 (#1, Feb 1 2000, 16:32:16) [GCC egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs- sys.executable /usr/bin/python sys.prefix /usr sys.exec_prefix /usr sys.path /usr sys.platform linux-i386 Environment variables: SSL_SERVER_I_DN /C=RU/O=BSG/CN=als.nsk.bsgdesign.com/CN=localhost HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING gzip, deflate SSL_SERVER_CN localhost HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE en-us SSL_SERVER_C RU GATEWAY_INTERFACE CGI/1.1 SSL_SERVER_O BSG HTTP_ACCEPT */* REQUEST_URI /mailman/admin/test SSL_SERVER_I_C RU SSL_SSLEAY_VERSION OpenSSL 0.9.4 09 Aug 1999 HTTPS on HTTP_HOST www.fiberhosting.com SSL_SERVER_I_O BSG SERVER_ADMIN admin(a)fiberhosting.com SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/mailman/cgi-bin/admin HTTPS_SECRETKEYSIZE 128 PYTHONPATH /home/mailman SSL_PROTOCOL_VERSION SSLv3 HTTP_USER_AGENT Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT) DOCUMENT_ROOT /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/fiberhosting.com/httpsdocs SERVER_ADDR 206.132.232.94 SSL_SERVER_I_CN localhost SERVER_PORT 443 HTTPS_KEYSIZE 128 CHARSET_HTTP_METHOD https:// UNIQUE_ID OaXq286E6F4AAFS-DgE REMOTE_ADDR 207.30.74.40 SERVER_NAME www.fiberhosting.com HTTP_CONNECTION Keep-Alive CHARSET_SERVER_NAME www.fiberhosting.com:443 SSL_SERVER_DN /C=RU/O=BSG/CN=als.nsk.bsgdesign.com/CN=localhost CHARSET_SERVER_PORT 443 SSL_CIPHER RC4-MD5 PATH /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin QUERY_STRING SERVER_PROTOCOL HTTP/1.1 PATH_INFO /test REMOTE_PORT 2754 REQUEST_METHOD GET PATH_TRANSLATED /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/fiberhosting.com/httpsdocs/test SCRIPT_NAME /mailman/admin SERVER_SOFTWARE Apache/1.3.12 Ben-SSL/1.38 (Unix) PHP/3.0.15 FrontPage/4.0.4.3 rus/PL29.4 HTTPS_CIPHER RC4-MD5 -- Phil Barnett mailto:midnight@the-oasis.net WWW http://www.the-oasis.net/ FTP Site ftp://ftp.the-oasis.net [View Less]

Mailman & Qmail... looping mail problem?
by Branden Hall Aug. 28, 2000

Aug. 28, 2000

Hello everyone! I just joined this list, and may I first thank the developers of this great program! I got it up and working in *no* time! As for my question... I have Mailman working with Qmail, and it seems to work just fine, except that everytime someone sends an email to my lists they get an email back with the following info in it. This only occurs if someone is mailing to my lists, and not if they are emailing a user on my system directly. If anyone has any insight into why this is … [View More]happening, it would be greatly appreciated!! Hi. This is the qmail-send program at chattyfig.figleaf.com.

Complaint: My E-mail address appears on this site without my permission
by John A. Martin Aug. 28, 2000

Aug. 28, 2000

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 How do folks respond to complaints like the one below? In this example with mailman 1.1 using default options the mail addresses in the archives are not obfuscated. Do mailing list archives commonly obfuscate mail headers? My position has been not to _rewrite history_ by modifying mail archives. In this instance the complainer evidently gave permission for someone to put his mail to the list and so may have been unaware that the list was … [View More]
