Too many pending requests?
by Per Starback July 7, 2003

July 7, 2003

I can't get to the pending request page for a mailing list. (My web clients just say "waiting for response" and finally give up.) I think it is because there are too many pending requests after some problems. (config.db is almost 10MB.) How can I do this some other way?

mailman and Domino; can't get mail back to mailman
by gbm＠godsfellowship.com Dec. 9, 2002

Dec. 9, 2002

I have mailman on a slackware box with sendmail. ww1.mydomain.com The mailserver for ww1 is mx.mydomain.com. It is a WinNT box running Domino Mail Server. I have a mailing list: list So the addresses are : list(a)mydomain.com list-admin(a)mydomain.com list-requests(a)mydomain.com list-owner(a)mydomain.com These are set up in aliases. When I try to send a request, etc, say to list(a)mydomain.com it routes to mx.mydomain.com and is rejected because their is no user name list(a)mydomain.com on the Domino Server. If I make a user list(a)mydomain.com, it stops at the Domino Server level. How do I get the mail back to ww1.mydomain.com? This seems like an ignorant configuration question, but I have searched Google, the Mailman documentation, and the mailman archives without success. Lotus research, and Lotus Domino configuration is something short of user-friendly or intuitive. Brent Mayes

mailman & postfix problem
by Rob Hudson Nov. 29, 2002

Nov. 29, 2002

I recently set up mailman on a debian machine with postfix as the MTA. It appears to be working to a point. I've set up a list via the web interface. When I send a request to the list, postfix receives the mail and sends it to another domain (?). I'll try to include as much information as I can... We're hosting these two domains for our linux group: euglug.org and euglug.com. We're also hosting euglug.net, but only the web pages. Currently, euglug.net mail and it's mailing lists are hosted on another machine, which we'll eventually transfer to euglug.org. I've set up one test list called 'beer'. When I send an email to beer-request(a)euglug.org, the following shows up in my maillogs. Note the euglug.net domain... May 2 21:07:35 tux postfix/smtpd[2261]: connect from cogit8.org[207.189.137.44] May 2 21:07:36 tux postfix/smtpd[2261]: 0621398: client=cogit8.org[207.189.137.44] May 2 21:07:36 tux postfix/cleanup[2262]: 0621398: message-id=<1020398591.6046.2.camel@fuggles> May 2 21:07:36 tux postfix/smtpd[2261]: disconnect from cogit8.org[207.189.137.44] May 2 21:07:36 tux postfix/qmgr[27174]: 0621398: from=<rob(a)euglug.net>, size=698, nrcpt=1 (queue active) May 2 21:07:36 tux postfix/smtp[2264]: 0621398: to=<"|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd beer"@euglug.net>, relay=mail.euglug.net[207.189.131.4], delay=0, status=sent (250 ok 1020398444 qp 11289) Here are some various configs: ---------------- postfix virtuals ---------------- # What domains do we accept for: # euglug.org virtual euglug.com virtual # # Mailing Lists: needed here b/c not local users? # # Beer beer(a)euglug.org "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper post beer" beer-admin(a)euglug.org "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner beer" beer-request(a)euglug.org "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd beer" beer-owner(a)euglug.org beer-admin ------------ /etc/aliases ------------ # See man 5 aliases for format postmaster: root mailman: rob(a)euglug.net mailman-owner: mailman I've grepped all the mailman directories I could find as to where the euglug.net domain is coming from, but can't find any reference to it. Any help is appreciated. And any config tips are appreciated also. Thanks, Rob

SOLVED: Postfix+Mailman alias-free and in separate namespace
by Dax Kelson Nov. 23, 2002

Nov. 23, 2002

I've created the script postfix-to-mailman.py. Python seemed natural, as mailman is written in python, and invoking postfix-to-mailman.py script on delivery to mailman just warms up the disk cache with all the python code and speeds invocation of mailman. Postfix configuration samples (thanks Wietse) can be found inside the script itself. The script is heavily based on the qmail-to-postfix script by Bruce Perens. You can get the script at: http://www.gurulabs.com/downloads.html Dax Kelson Guru Labs

Archive URL in postings (2.1b3)
by Brian Read Nov. 5, 2002

Nov. 5, 2002

Hi I have a set-up where the domain name is different to the mailing address name. Mailman seems to have set-up the mail addresses and the list admin URLs ok, but it gets the Archive URL wrong. It is using the email hostname,. not the domain name that it uses for the list admin etc. I have tried editrting mm_cfg.py, the PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL var, but my postings still come out with the "old" URL. How do I change it for existing lists?

Please Help out
by jsingh Nov. 2, 2002

Nov. 2, 2002

Hey Guys I am a newbie doing this mailman install. So far I have installed everything fine, I am able to view almost everything over the web(leaving the archives). I created a new mailing list, and mailman sent out a message to all the subscribers I enrolled. But when I send a message to the mailing list I got this in my Mail log "Oct 30 18:58:18 dragon sendmail[1508]: g9UNwImp001508: <mytestlist(a)dragon.fdu.edu>... User unknown " So I sent an email back to the admin and I got the same thing back "Oct 30 19:02:53 dragon sendmail[5302]: g9V02rmp005302: <mytestlist-admin(a)dragon.fdu.edu>... User unknown " Could anyone possibly tell me where I am staggering from my path. Please I need help on this, anyone who does , my thanks to them before hand. Newbie --
