Maybe the rub is that it should be "su - mailman" instead of "su mailman" I think using the - (make it a login shell) option will get your environment right for setting up the crontab. -Peter > > Matt Jenkins wrote: >> >> @#$@#!

Problems sending mail to mailing list
by Matt Jenkins Feb. 4, 2001

Feb. 4, 2001

Whenever I send to a list, I get no error messages back as a reply nor do I find anything in the mailman error logs. Mailman is installed in /home/mailman on a RedHat 6.2 system. Anyone have any clues? Thanks in advance. Here's some info on the problem (PS ignore time differences between lastcomm and maillog, I had to send twice to grab the info from the end of the logs since they fill so quickly): /etc/sendmail.cf: O DefaultUser=8:12 /etc/group: mail::12:mail mailman:x:1221: lastcomm … [View More]

How far can I modify the original screen?
by Timothy Murphy Feb. 3, 2001

Feb. 3, 2001

To what extent can I modify the original mailman screen, as seen in .../listinfo/<list> ? I'd like to set up a list for a society so that the information for joining the society -- giving name, address, etc --- was the first page seen when accessing the mailman web-site. Is that possible? If not, can I add pages to the web-site specific to that list? If anyone else is using mailman for a similar purpose I'd be very grateful to hear from them. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: tim(a)maths.… [View More]

Duplicate messages to users
by Niclas Andersson Feb. 3, 2001

Feb. 3, 2001

How do I avoid duplicate messages to users when sending to an umbrella list? I've made announcement lists for different computational resources we have at our site. My intention is that the users should subscribe to the list that match the resource he/she is using. Moreover, I have an umbrella list which has every resource maillist as a subscriber. If I now send a general announcement to the umbrella list, a user that has subscribed to several maillists get one message for each list. This is … [View More]

CGI problems and lock files
by Ray Gardener Feb. 3, 2001

Feb. 3, 2001

Hi, I have recently upgraded to version 2.0.1 of mailman running on Solaris 2.7 with Python 1.5.2. This seems to work much more efficiently that the old version but every so often I am locked out of the web interface of certain lists. On inspection there appears to be a large amount of lock files in $prefix/locks to do with these particular lists. Removing these lock files allows me back into the lists. Is this problem a feature and are hanging locks purged periodically? Incidentally though I … [View More]

Mailman performance
by Dave Disser Feb. 3, 2001

Feb. 3, 2001

I just discovered/downloaded/installed mailman yesterday, and am getting horrible performance with it, so I hope this is an easy one. Any mailman operation takes > 5 secs; even bin/list_lists takes 7 secs. Is it normal for it to take so long? I use list_lists as an example because I want to leave the webserver out of the equation. My server machine is a 4-way K series with gobs of RAM, so hardware doesn't appear to be lacking. Perhaps my copy of python is not optimally built?
