mailman archives problem unsolved
by Spam account 29 Oct '02

29 Oct '02

I have followed the instructions in the Mailman FAQ, and have found various postings in this list archive, but I still can't get my mailman list archives working. Than is, I still have some type of permissions configuration problem which gives me a forbidden error from apache. On my Debian server, I have created a symbolic link: pipermail -> /var/lib/mailman/archives/public and have also added symbolic link permissions in httpd.conf: <Location /var/lib/mailman/archives/public> Options FollowSymLinks </Location> That should do it right? But when I try and access http://<myservername>/pipermail/<mylistname> I get the forbidden error. Any idea what I may be missing? TIA, cjf

mailman and SMTP AUTH
by Adrian Wieczorek 29 Oct '02

29 Oct '02

Hello, I've just installed mailman v2.0.13 on my site and have one question: My Sendmail is running with smtp authorization and all messages sending from mailman are not relayed, because auth mechanism isn't used during connection. How to solve this problem? Is there SMTP AUTH support in current version of mailman ? (LOGIN or PLAIN) I didn't find any informations in documentation abaut that... -- Best Regards, ADi.

queued, but not sent
by Jeremy 29 Oct '02

29 Oct '02

recently upgraded from sendmail-8.11.6.i386.rpm on redhat 7.1 to sendmail 8.12.6 installed from source, and after sorting out the new --with-mail-gid (8.12.6 needed a new mail gid) I needed and rebuilt smrsh, placing a new symlink to wrapper, mailman seems to be receiving posts ok, but the posts end up directly in the queue (qfiles dir) with no errors in any of the mailman or sendmail logs. Adding users, mailman will still send out notifications, with no errors. What would cause it to directly queue messages without an error? Mailman version is 2.0.13.

FW: Problems with sending mails to a New list
by Fawad Khan 29 Oct '02

29 Oct '02

I created a new list without any problems but now when I send a message to that list it is not getting archived. When I go to the webserver ad look at the error when trying to go to the archive page, it tells me that : File does not exist: /scratch/mailman/install/archives/public/nic-list When I go to this directory the file is there and linked to the private directory nic-list -> /scratch/mailman/install/archives/private/nic-list nic-list.mbox -> /scratch/mailman/install/archives/private/nic-list.mbox But the directory nic-list does not exist plus nic-list.mbox is empty. After creating the list I did add following lines to /etc/aliases # nic-list mailing list ## created: 28-Oct-2002 perforce nic-list: "|/scratch/mailman/install/mail/wrapper post nic-list" nic-list-admin: "|/scratch/mailman/install/mail/wrapper mailowner nic-list" nic-list-request: "|/scratch/mailman/install/mail/wrapper mailcmd nic-list" nic-list-owner: nic-list-admin And also ran newaliases command as a root. Please let me know if anyone knows what I am doing wrong. Thanks, Fawad Khan <http://www.airgonet.com/>

Carriage Return in Archives
by ellen lenihan 29 Oct '02

29 Oct '02

Hi I posted this question to the list before but did not see a response so I thought I'd try again. Anyway - I'm new to managing a list and we've notice that for our archives there is no carriage return. So text just runs very far to the right making it very hard to read. Any suggestions? Thanks, Ellen _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

Hi folks, Just a quick note to let you know that I moved these four lists to Mailman 2.1b4+. Things seem to be working okay, but of course, now the fun begins. I'll be watching the logs, but please do let me know if you notice anything strange. -Barry P.S. to mailman-users-owner... Hope you like the new moderation interface!

Only allow posts from one domain
by Adam Gardner 29 Oct '02

29 Oct '02

Hey, Sorry if this question has been asked to death, but I really couldn't find anything in the archives that could help. Basically I want to allow only *(a)domain.com to be able to post to my mailing list(s). I have seen the procmail idea, and it looks good. But I also keep seeing people talking about being able to use regexp's to do the same thing internally to mailman. I keep seeing "posters = [<your-regexp-here]", but I'm not sure where to put this. Does mailman indeed allow for regular expressions for this type of thing? And where would I put this information. Thanks for any responses, Adam Gardner
