Changing the email host
by Jason Signalness Nov. 20, 2001

Nov. 20, 2001

Hello all, I just installed Mailman and all seems well, except for one thing. Mailman seems to think my mail server is at one host while it is actually at another. The URLs it sends out in its emails is correct, but the host name for email is incorrect. I have changed it in the mm_cfg.py file, but it still doesn't listen. Any ideas?

by V.S.Mony Nov. 20, 2001

Nov. 20, 2001

Hai, I have installed mailman in my machine and is managing the mailing lists for one domain. It has multiple domains hosted on it. Can one single installation of mailman be used to manage mailing lists for multiple domains? Thanks in advance Venkat

renaming a list
by Joshua S. Freeman Nov. 20, 2001

Nov. 20, 2001

I have an installation of mailman with one list running. It's for my daughter's school. Currently, the list name is 'atrium' and it's description is 'atrium school email list'. I won't go into all the details, but I think it might be wise at this point to rename it 'unofficial-atrium'... the description I can manage myself. What is the best way to rename a running list? (nothing i could find in the faq for this... it might make a good faq..) j. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Joshua S.

Not Mailman-related: Open Source mavens please read
by Dan Mick Nov. 19, 2001

Nov. 19, 2001

I participate on the fringes of Open Source, so perhaps someone here can clue me in. Please respond privately so as not to pollute Mailman-Users overmuch: Why do all the '-config' tools (gtk-config et. al.) seem to refuse to include -R options in their "libraries" output to set the dynamic runtime dependency path? You'll see "-L /usr/local/lib" and not "-R /usr/local/lib", and I can't figure out why, but it seems endemic to many of those tools that use an xxx-config program to pass on link options. Any reason? (Yes, I know you can use ld.config, but why should you have to?)

list subscribers
by Con Wieland Nov. 19, 2001

Nov. 19, 2001

Hello There is an option from the listinfo page to view subscribers which appears can be set so that anyone can view the subscribers, only list subscribers can view the subscribers list, or only the list admin can view the subscribers. I am unable to find where these options are set in the config. Any help is appreciated. Con Wieland UC Irvine

mailman dies; "TypeError : read-only character buffer, None"
by Andy Peters Nov. 19, 2001

Nov. 19, 2001

Hi, gang, I have searched the archives, and have seen many questions similar to mine, but no answers. I'm sorry that I'm asking the same question, but I'm stumped. I have a list run by Mailman 2.0.6 that has, all of a sudden, decided that it will not distribute messages. It was working fine last week, but now, posts to the list go nowhere. Mail sent to mylist-l-request and mylist-l-admin go nowhere. My MTA is Exim. Exim's log indicates that the mail was accepted and passed to the proper transport and director. The mailman error log shows the following messages: Nov 17 13:55:00 2001 qrunner(6592): Traceback (innermost last): Nov 17 13:55:00 2001 qrunner(6592): File "/usr/mailman/cron/qrunner", line 282, in ?

What does this error mean, and more important, how can it be fixed so the mail can go through? Thanks in advance, Andy Peters

In general you'll get far better performance and scalability out of alternate MTAs such as Postfix and Exim. -- 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.
