I have mailman 2.0.8, python 2.0. Want to go to mailman 2.0.8, python 2.2. Then later, when mailman 2.1 is ready, go to mailman 2.1, python 2.2. Will mailman 2.0.8 work OK with python 2.2? Morgan

It is possible with multiple installations of MM, but I think the original sender (and me) wants to know how this could be done with one installation. Is there a cook book for this problem?

mailman not posting to list
by info_honeyroot.com 05 Nov '02

05 Nov '02

hi i wonder if you could help, I've installed mailman fine, and it does seem to work fine, well it lets people subscribe and sned them the relevant emails, but for some reason when someone sends a email to the list (info(a)honeyroot.com) it send it's to the owner's email which was set up when making a new list, via comand line, but it dosn't send it to the other users who are subscribed to the list? I've looked in the web admin interface and it's not in the pending page, and not sure how to get it working. I've looked on the F&Q's but can't find help, so if you could help that would be brilliant, I've enclosed my maillog to help you kind regards Benjamin I'm running python 1.5.2 on Red Hat Linux 7.1 2 on linux-i386

Re: [Mailman-Users] Linux 7.3 and sendmail 8.x problem
by peter schoch 05 Nov '02

I set up all of the cron jobs that were listed in the setup instructions on the website. I had thought the RPM from RedHat was faulty. So, I downloaded the one off the www.list.org website and installed it. I don't remember which one it was, but it was only two weeks ago. There are no files in ~mailman/qfiles ------------- Since it is Sendmail 8.x could it be the no forwarding protection in sendmail? <<< John Wards <j.wards(a)sportnetwork.net> 11/ 4 11:00a >>> Have you set up the cron jobs?

I have a hoster that I would like to use mailman with
by Jeff Shipman 05 Nov '02

05 Nov '02

I'm currently using a webhoster and I have an account on their machines. They're using FreeBSD and they use majordomo for their mailing lists. I really don't like majordomo and I don't find it to be very flexible. They're considering mailman, but getting them to install it will probably take forever. I was hoping there would be some way for me to install it locally to my home directory and just use it for my lists. Plus, if they want to use it, they'll need to be flexible in letting others do their own mailing lists. I notice places like SourceForge have this feature where each project can set up their own lists. Is there a way I can install Mailman in my account without root privs or is there minimal root privs things that I could just ask them to do? They said they'd be willing to help me out with the system stuff, but I don't want anything to conflict with their current system. Also, I have my own domain name that all of my email goes to. I don't know if that helps in the setup or not.

Linux 7.3 and sendmail 8.x problem
by peter schoch 05 Nov '02

05 Nov '02

I followed the installation procedures for mailman, and the web interface works just fine. HOWEVER, any email I send into it disappears! It never goes out to the list and doesn't bounce back to me. Is there something in Sendmail 8.x in Linux 7.3 that prevents mailman from working? Any suggestions on how to fix this? I'm trying to run the list for an online class we teach at the college. Thanks, Peter Schoch

Mail wrapper error
by Forrest Aldrich 05 Nov '02

05 Nov '02

I'm getting this error: Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 6, GOT gid 26. (Reconfigure to take 26?) 554 5.3.0 unknown mailer error 2 And I know what it means, but it doesn't seem obvious as to where to change this GID value without having to go in and recompile the entire source tree. It would be nice to have a gui that can be used to tune all of these variables in Mailman. Is that planned for 2.1? _F
