installation difficulties

Hello, Mailman Users, I'm working with my website administrator to resolve some difficulties with our Mailman installation. We're using RH Linux with Postfix MTA. The installation passes the check scripts for permissions and database consistency. The web pages display fine. But we can't send any mail to any list. Question: do the aliases for individual lists as well as the "mailman" and "mailman-owner" have to be in /etc/aliases or /etc/aliases.db or does it suffice to put them in the MySQL (?) databases used by Postfix? The problem I'm encountering is that a posting to the list results in error code 1: --- ...Command died with status 1: "/home/mailman/scripts/post concerns" --- (The name of the list is "concerns".) Also, I'm seeing the following error from qrunner in the error log repeatedly: --- Nov 11 09:23:01 2002 qrunner(15283): Traceback (innermost last): Nov 11 09:23:01 2002 qrunner(15283): File "/home/mailman/cron/qrunner", line 283, in ? Nov 11 09:23:01 2002 qrunner(15283): kids = main(lock) Nov 11 09:23:01 2002 qrunner(15283): File "/home/mailman/cron/qrunner", line 253, in main Nov 11 09:23:01 2002 qrunner(15283): keepqueued = dispose_message(mlist, msg, msgdata) Nov 11 09:23:01 2002 qrunner(15283): File "/home/mailman/cron/qrunner", line 157, in dispose_message Nov 11 09:23:01 2002 qrunner(15283): mlist.ParseMailCommands(msg) Nov 11 09:23:01 2002 qrunner(15283): File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailCommandHandler.py", line 123, in ParseMailCommands Nov 11 09:23:01 2002 qrunner(15283): precedence = msg.get('precedence', '').lower() Nov 11 09:23:01 2002 qrunner(15283): AttributeError : 'string' object has no attribute 'lower' --- I'd appreciate any pointers or suggestions. Thanks in advance, --Emil Emil Volcheck volcheck(a)acm.org

Installing & using stripmime.pl (anti HTML)
by David Gordon Nov. 12, 2002

Nov. 12, 2002

I have now read the FAQs regarding stripping HTML from my list's messages. <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.013.htp> I think Alex Wetmore's looks the simplest from my point of view. <http://www.phred.org/~alex/stripmime.html> Is anyone using this on their list? Is it okay? I tried following Alex's instructions but messages then stopped being mailed out. I think my lack of Unix understanding is letting me down. (I don't know for sure that Perl is running on my remote server for example. It's installed, how do I check it's running?) Thanks DG

HTML & Digests
by David Gordon Nov. 11, 2002

Got my first list set up and running. Thanks to all here who helped! Now... Can I make HTML mail appear as plain text? Or can I auto bounce HTML mails? HTML seems to make a big mess when it appears on archive. Anything I can do about that? I'd also like to be able to prevent any attachments from being posted. Ta DG

Currently, no. Additionally, any hinting that Mailman might provide here would be ignored and overridden by your MTA's queue handling algorithms. -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas. claw(a)kanga.nu He lived as a devil, eh? http://www.kanga.nu/~claw/ Evil is a name of a foeman, as I live.

Does anyone know if I can set address priorities in mailman, i.e. can certain addresses be set so that they always enter the mail queue first? Thanks all. Deborah
