gb and big5 interface problem?
by Peter Lee 27 Sep '01

27 Sep '01

Hi, I tried the gb and big5 interface in mailmail 2.1a. Some of the submit buttons do not work. For example, on the listinfo page, if a user click Subscribe after filling the email and password, nothing happens. But if the user then switches the "View this page in" to Enlish, he would see a page saying subscription done. Hope you can look into this problem. Sincerely, Peter ================================================ >>>>>>>> Visit http://www.acosmo.com <<<<<<<<<

mailman failing to use /mailman/alias when calling .cgi scripts
by s.slade.gauntt＠accenture.com 27 Sep '01

27 Sep '01

My mailman install fails to use the /mailman/ alias when making calls to cgi scripts. For example: When I click on the mailman admin interface link, it directs me here: http://<mydomain.com>/admin/grnds-user as opposed to http://<mydomain.com>/mailman/admin/grnds-user So, if i put the following in my httpd.conf file, it works fine... ScriptAlias / /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/ as opposed to ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/ However, this screws up other areas of my web application. Thus, I really need mailman to use the /mailman/ alias when executing the cgi-scripts. Is there some special parameter i need to pass the .configure script to tell mailman to use the alias.

Virtual Domains
by mailman 27 Sep '01

27 Sep '01

Hi, It says in the feature list that it does virtual domains, but I couldn't find anything in the doc about doing it, any idea ? I've RTFM many time before posting. I have everything working fine for one domain, and the web interface would work with any virtual domain BUT the domain the list is belonging to is the one used to actually install the software : I have : whateverlist(a)puzzlesol.com instead of whateverlist(a)myclientsdomain.com Do I have to make a separate installation for each domain OR where are the instructions ?

hello
by mark.l.johnson＠barclays.co.uk 27 Sep '01

27 Sep '01

Hello all, I have recently got mailman up and running and am very impressed with the system. I have a query though, is it possible for people to subscribe, unsubscribe, change mode etc without ever using the mailing lists web interface. My problem is that I am running the list on a server on my home lan behind an adsl router. I am not quite yet ready to open up port 80 on my firewall to let the outside world in. So I want the users to manage their subscriptions through mail only. Anyone any thoughts, ideas, experiences? Also FYI, i have it running on a Slackware 7.1 box with Exim as the MTA. -------------------------------------------- Mark Johnson Thunderous Solutions Ltd 31 Vale House Drive. SK13 1BT. England.

I looked around and am just not sure the best way to do this upgrade. Can someone point me to some documentation that spells it out pretty clearly? Thanks Douglas M. Munoz / Network Consultant VisionCore Consulting Inc.

Duplicates
by spookyplaces＠loosecanon.tv 27 Sep '01

27 Sep '01

One of my mailing lists has evidently decided to start sending a certain message out got my group over and over again. First time it did that I got about 86 copies of it. One guy said he got around 100 and another gal said she got 80 of them. I thought it would be marked as sent in the mail man Q but just today we all got the same message again about 80 copies of it. If I don't get this resolved quick I'm going to be loosing my people. I don't know who to talk to or where to get help for this problem. I don't know where the mailer thing keeps the messages on Q or how to remove them from Q out there. Can someone help me please ? Thanks ...Bryon

Qrunner lock
by Lalo Castro 27 Sep '01

27 Sep '01

Hello, I recently installed mailman 2.0.6 on our OpenBsd 2.9 mail machine, running python 1.5.2. Our qrunner is taking an extraordinarily long time to get going. 450 second smtp cycles. The qrunner log shows 'Could not acquire qrunner lock'. The smtp error log shows: smtp-failure:Sep 26 15:16:31 2001 (1628) 450 who(a)saaczpl.org (4.7.1 <who(a)saaczpl.org>... Can not check MX records for recipient host saaczpl.org) And the general error log is: error:Sep 26 13:40:32 2001 qrunner(2995): Traceback (innermost last): error:Sep 26 13:40:32 2001 qrunner(2995): File "/home/mailman/cron/qrunner", line 282, in ? error:Sep 26 13:40:32 2001 qrunner(2995): kids = main(lock) error:Sep 26 13:40:32 2001 qrunner(2995): File "/home/mailman/cron/qrunner", line 195, in main error:Sep 26 13:40:32 2001 qrunner(2995): lock.refresh() error:Sep 26 13:40:32 2001 qrunner(2995): File "/home/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 204, in refresh error:Sep 26 13:40:32 2001 qrunner(2995): raise NotLockedError error:Sep 26 13:40:32 2001 qrunner(2995): Mailman.LockFile . NotLockedError Is there a conflict that mailmans qrunner could be having with another process? It seems like from what we've read that qrunner is working (there is a lock file), but that there's a conflict somewhere with another process or message. Has anyone else had this same problem? Thanks Lalo

Japanese and Mailman
by John Zimet 27 Sep '01

27 Sep '01

On an English Solarix site The English mailman GUI mangles Japanese on the GUI level but the archived Japanese is OK. Would the Japanese version of Mailman do any better on the English Solarix or is the menu language all that is different?
