Reg. configuration of new lists / wrong urls in admin interface ..

Kindest .. I'm having a few problems with my setup of Mailman. I've configured Aolserver v3.x to run Mailman as a cgi application. Now I can configure a new mailing list and see it in the listing/first page; http://www.<domain>.no/mailman/admin I can click on the test list .. and login and then is forwarded to the administrative interface; http://www.<domain>.no/mailman/admin/test This is when the problem starts; all urls listed in the "header" here are given wrong; in essence all urls here are missing the "mailman" part of the url which of course gives an error when clicked as the target url then does not reach the "cgi enabled page 'domain'". The urls on this page are; http://www.<domain>.no/admin/test/members http://www.<domain>.no/admin/test/privacy http://www.<domain>.no/admin/test/nondigest http://www.<domain>.no/admin/test/bounce . . . and so forth. I've tried the following things; 1) Verified the Defaults.py script; DEFAULT_URL = 'http://www.<domain>.no/mailman/' ... which should be correct .. 2) Not put anything in the mm_cfg.py file .. ... which should make the lists use the "Defaults.py" file; DEFAULT_URL ... but urls are still wrong .. 3) Used config_list to export all list information .. edited it to reflect the correct url .. imported it again .. and the urls end up wrong again. . how on earth can I get this to work?! Would appriciate any input .. as I'm at a dead end here. I really do not want to hack around in the code as I am not a Python expert .. at least not yet. ;) Anyone have some tips they could share as to what I can do next? Would be greatly apriciated! All of you have a real nice day! -- Med vennlig hilsen, Jørgen Skogstad /\ System Specialist \\ \ \ \\ / Sun Microsystems AS / \/ / / Ullevål Stadion / / \//\ N-0805 Oslo, NORWAY \//\ / / / / /\ / Phone: + 47 23 36 96 00 / \\ \ Cellular: + 47 92 41 30 23 \ \\ Fax: + 47 23 26 96 01 \/ EMail: jorgen.skogstad(a)Norway.Sun.Com Web: www.sun.no BTW; Opinions formed by myself in informal mailings are mine and not of my employer.

Anyone have an idea why I get a 403 (Unauthorized to view this page) error when I try to view my list archives? Do I need to chmod something? TIF, Ron

Conditionally strip headers?
by David Gibbs 28 Dec '01

28 Dec '01

Folks: Does anyone know of a way to get Mailman 2.0.8 to strip some headers from messages? I get a lot of Lotus Notes/Domino users on my list and their mail systems tend to add a LOT of garbage to the messages ... all of them prefixed with "X-Notes". Thanks! david

Mailman/Database connections
by Michelle Murrain 28 Dec '01

28 Dec '01

Hi Folks, Has anyone set up a system to synchronize in any way a SQL database (like PostgreSQL or MySQL) and a mailman mailing list? If so, how did you do it? Any code available? Is there a way to use a SQL database as the subscriber list for mailman? If a tool like this does not exist, would it be of help to anyone here if I built one? (FYI, I am a Perl programmer primarily, so it will be a perl-based tool). .Michelle --------------------------------------- Michelle Murrain tech(a)murrain.net AIM:pearlbear0 http://www.murrain.net/ for pgp public key

RE: [Mailman-Users] Mailman not sending out mail
by Michelle Brownsworth 28 Dec '01

28 Dec '01

I don't know if this is relevant to the problem, but I do have my MTA (sendmail) configured to resolve domains. Could the large number of undelivered messages in qfiles cause Mailman to choke on the timeouts and resolve errors it's no doubt getting from sendmail? .\\ichelle --------------------- Michelle Brownsworth System Administrator PrimeLogic Corporation http://www.primelogic.com

Dear List I have strange problems with mailman. Am using the following tools and respective versions. Apache 1.3.13 sendmail 8.9 mailman 2.0.6 RH 6.1 Python 1.5.2 I have 2 problems: Problem 1: I created 2 lists named forum and response respectively, it was working fine for almost a day and there were 6 users subscribed to each list. Suddenly my mailman stopped working and its not delivering mails sent by the subscribers to the list, and when new users are subscribed, they are not getting acknowlegment mail. To put it in nut shell, the mailman is very erratic, everytime, i have to reinitiate the crontab.in for cron and restart the qrunner process. I really dunno what is the permanent solution for this. Please guide me for a permanent solution to this problem. Problem 2: when i use my browser to subscribe to the list, i get an error "Bug in Mailman" Thanks in advance Ganeshh

Can you tell me if, (and if so where), a subscriber can be blocked, other than through just using the moderate features. Thanks John

Changing auto-response message
by Josh Lothian 27 Dec '01

Hi all, Quick question: I have scoured the menus, and I have found no way to customize the message returned when a non-member posts to a members only list, on a list-by-list basis. Any suggestions? Thanks, -josh -- Josh Lothian lothian(a)cs.utk.edu
