what's wrong with my list?
by David Herren 22 Feb '01

22 Feb '01

I have successfully (I believe) configured Mailman--I'm able to get to the web pages for configuration, the list correctly sent out all the new subscriber notes. I'm running this list on a MacOSX Server box (and I run another mailman list on another macOSX Server machine for another client quite successfully), so I know I _can_ do this.... When I attempt to send a message to the list (from the subscribed account) I get the following error: The original message was received at Tue, 20 Feb 2001 11:01:36 -0500 (EST) from cc-email.champlain.edu [198.112.65.251] ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- "|/Local/Library/WebServer/mailman/mail/wrapper post webthugs" (expanded from: <webthugs(a)io.champlain.edu>) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 105, GOT gid 1. (Reconfigure to take 1?) 554 "|/Local/Library/WebServer/mailman/mail/wrapper post webthugs"... unknown mailer error 2 Please reply directly as I get this list a digest and I need to get this thing working asap... thanks. \david -- david herren | In an Internet without walls, shoreham, vt | who needs Windows and Gates?

A search engine/interface for MailMan
by Karo Salminen 22 Feb '01

22 Feb '01

Hello, I'd like to know is there any simple and good search engine to MailMan, which would have a good web interface too. Why haven't you guys already built anything like that to MailMan itself? Please answer straight to me, thanks. -- ks(a)netmafia.org - <http://www.netmafia.org/~ks/> -- 045-6728280 -- "So pathetic that it's even amusing!"

TO field incorrect (sendmail)
by Paul D. Smith 22 Feb '01

22 Feb '01

I'm using mailman 2.0.1 on a system with sendmail 8.9.3 (I know, I know, but I just don't have time right now to install exim :-/... this _HAS_ to be working by tomorrow evening, when I go on vacation--I'll look at it when I get back :). I'm using Everything is working fine, _except_ one thing: when I send mail to the mailing list, the To: field of the message I get back (as a member of the list) is incorrect and invalid. I send mail to "mylist(a)lists.domain.com", and when I get that message back it has a To: field like: To: mylist(a)server.east Now, here's the deal; this system was originally named "server". It still has this as /etc/hostname, and it still needs to respond to mail that way, etc. It also has a number of aliases, including lists.domain.com. I'm not sure where the "east" is coming from; the /etc/defaultdomain is "east" (but that's only used for NIS, right, so that wouldn't matter?), and the fully-qualified hostname of the server alias is "server.east.domain.com". Anyway, the question is why isn't the "To:" field using the lists.domain.com address? Who sets the To: field on outgoing (list) mail? Is it mailman? I can't find anywhere in mailman that might be using the "server.east" address. Or is it sendmail somehow? Is there anyone who knows enough about sendmail to point me in the right direction? I see lots of discussion of changing the From: address (masquerading), but not setting the "To:" address ?? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.

wrong url
by Arthur J. Byrnes 22 Feb '01

22 Feb '01

A couple of weeks ago I upgraded to version 2.0.1, and everything is working ok. But this morning I created a new list and since I was still configuring it, I made myself the list admin, so the "Your new mailing list" mail would not go to the user. Here is a segment from that new mailing list mail; >You can configure your mailing list at the following web page: >http://www.stetson.edu/mailmanadmin/artsci-staff-l >The web page for users of your mailing list is: >http://www.stetson.edu/mailmanlistinfo/artsci-staff-l Notice that the / is missing after the mailman and before info and admin. (so of course the url doesn't work) :-) Have others had this problem? Thanks for your help... - =========================== Arthur J.

Tooo Slow
by Charles W. Statkus 22 Feb '01

22 Feb '01

I Have about 270K subscribers and Mailman is so slow that I am getting complaints that the process is timing out. When I test it with about a thousand members everything works fine. When I try to bring up Membership Management with the 270k subscribers, it times out. I've watched the locks directory and haven't seen anything out of the ordinary. Any suggestions? Chuck
