JC means "config_list", but I'm missing something; if you just want to back the files up, why don't you just back them up? They don't need to be transmogrified on the way out and back in.

Restoring a dumpdb file is a bit of a pain as you end up having to wrap it in a bit of python that mays it look like an object and marshalling that to disk. Not a big pain to be sure, but more pain than you get with configdb. Using configdb gets a dumpt of the DB which can be re-imported by the same tool to re-create to state of the DB. Quite nice. -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas. claw(a)kanga.nu He lived as a devil, eh? http://www.kanga.nu/~claw/ Evil is a name of a foeman, as I live.

List state db is corrupt
by Nigel Metheringham Oct. 29, 2001

Oct. 29, 2001

[People may have noticed that the exim.org lists are currently down - this is why] I have a Mailman 2.0.6 install running with a current exim. Nothing has been changed since the Mailman upgrade a few weeks back. However it appears that (possibly due to an expected system restart - although the filesystems are journalled), one list has the config.db file corrupted. Worse, the backup config.db is also corrupt (but different) - list operations give results like:- # bin/list_members exim-users No such list "exim-users" bad marshal data I am working on getting stuff back from backup (aren't hosted systems fun - you get to find out how much of the infrastructure really works). however as a backstop approach, is there any better way of extracting the data in the config.db (which looks mostly right) other than using strings on it and extracting the bits manually (which should at least give me the user list even if I need to manually edit a load). And a further question, in the light of this I ought to dump the list database (say) every 6 hours and keep a weeks back set of them. I guess I can script round the dumpdb command to do this - but how do I restore that?

How can I lock the host_name option ?
by Oliver Egginger Oct. 29, 2001

Oct. 29, 2001

Hello, listadmins can change the maildomain of their list by setting the host_name option. It's nice that mailman have this feature for the listadmins. The only problem is that the mailman DBs are only looked up by our local (mailman)-MTA, so if listadmins change this value it only will work on the local MTA. Also they have to choose a local domain of this MTA. Normally thats self-evident, but many of my users are blissfully ignorant. I would feel better if I could lock and hide this option. - oliver -- Oliver Egginger FH Giessen-Friedberg DV-Zentrum Wiesenstrasse 14 35390 Giessen Tel. +49 641 309-1283 Fax +49 641 309-2908 Mail: Oliver.Egginger(a)dvz.fh-giessen.de

Quoting message URL (in archive) in footer of that outgoing message
by Frank Hoffmann Oct. 28, 2001

Oct. 28, 2001

Hi! Does anyone know if there is a way to include a string (right term?) in the footer in outgoing messages that would give the location (= URL) of the messages in that list's archive? If Mailman is set up to create an archive then each message posted to Mailman will have its own URL. I am not sure if this question has logistically problems, though. Does Mailman "know" when it sends out messages where they will be at in the archive -- or only a hundredth of a second later, after it has been send out? This would be very useful to have for an academic discussion list where people might want to QUOTE postings in their publications. So each message subscribers would get in their e-mail would have a footer that says something like: -----SAMPLE------ You may quote this posting by referring to the following URL: http://koreaweb.ws/pipermail/asianstudiesjobs_koreaweb.ws/2001q4/000005.html ----------------------- Sorry if this should have been asked before -- I could not find any such entry in this mailing list.
