Too many pending requests?
by Per Starback 07 Jul '03

07 Jul '03

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?

VirtualHosting and Mailman
by Ram Prasad 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

Hi I have installed mailman successfully, and would like to know how I can do virtualhosting... The scenario is: 1) the client wants to have his own listman page ( for the lists of his domain, say, news(a)abc.org) 2) now, since we also run lists for other domains, the address news(a)abc.org is conflicting with news(a)xyz.org. I am using sendmail as my MTA. I would like to know how I can do virtual hosting with mailman. Any pointers to articles on the net is also fine.. Please help Ram Prasad. P http://www.megalinux.net

mailman and Domino; can't get mail back to mailman
by gbm＠godsfellowship.com 09 Dec '02

09 Dec '02

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

Fully personalized messages don't get delivered
by Alexander Skwar 07 Dec '02

07 Dec '02

Hi! I've just upgraded Mailman to 2.1b5 from 2.1b4 and enabled full personalization. As the message header, I've put: Hallo %(user_name)s <%(user_address)s>! With this header, mails don't get delivered. When I remove it, everything works fine. Any idea about what's wrong?

missing python-modules on mailmain setup
by Craig Isdahl 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

Hello Everyone, First off, my linux skills are in the learning stage so this may be a very silly question. I'm trying to setup mailman and I have installed apache-1.3.23-14, postfix-1.1.7-2, and python-1.5.2-38. This is RH 7.3 and the installed python is the single "python" selection from the RH installation disk. When I tried to install mailman-2.0.13-6.i386.rpm I get: [root@lists root]# rpm -Uvh mailman-2.0.13-6.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: crondaemon is needed by mailman-2.0.13-6 python-modules is needed by mailman-2.0.13-6 So I checked the archives and it was suggested I needed to install python-devel-1.5.2-38. I also installed the docs and tools for the same version. I'm still receiving the same error as above. Two obvious questions: - what is meant by python-modules since I can't seem to find them on searches? - I have the crondaemon installed and running, isn't it crond below? If so why the error message? [root@lists root]# chkconfig --list | grep 3:on keytable 0:off 1:on 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off atd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off syslog 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off gpm 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off kudzu 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off netfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off network 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off random 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off crond 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off anacron 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off sshd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off httpd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:off 6:off postfix 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off Thanks for your input!
