Thread not shown allthough In-Reply-To present

Hi all, allthough I found a lot of questions about why mailman/pipermail doesn't show threads when mail is transferred by outlook/exchange in the archives, but unfortuanatly no answer that solves the problem ;( I read in one of the posts that threading is done based on; - Message-ID - References - In-Reply-To But then why doesn't it work? According to the mbox of my archive mesasages sent by outlook/exchange users don't contain a References header but DO contain Message-ID and In-Reply-To headers. In the same archive messages sent with mutt do contain a References header and are shown threaded Does pipermail realy check the In-Reply-To? Is something wrong with the format used? eg; In-Reply-To: <6C9EC88CAD726B49A43EE2E2B2AD6E5383E93C(a)maul.gx.nl> any ideas? thanks in advance!

old emails into mailman?
by Matthew Boeckman Feb. 28, 2002

Feb. 28, 2002

Hello list! We have just started using mailman for our techsupport stuff, and I wanted to try and propogate the archives with some old emails we have, without actually re-spamming the existing list. Is this as easy as catting them to the listname.mbox files? Is there anything that would need to be done to get these into the archives?

New install Mailman 2.0 - odd python errors in cron jobs
by ScaryG Feb. 28, 2002

Feb. 28, 2002

Hey folks! I installed mailman2.0 yesterday on one of my FreeBSD (4.4-R) systems. I installed Python from ports: Python 2.2 (#1, Feb 27 2002, 14:11:31) GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (release) [FreeBSD]] on freebsd4 Everything is working fine, except for when the cron jobs run, each one spits back some python errors. I get about 4-5 emails with these error messages every 3 or 4 minutes. This means HUNDREDS in a day and they are really annoying! I get stuff like: /home/mailman/cron/qrunner:0: SyntaxWarning: name '_listcache' is assigned to before global declaration/usr/local/lib/python2.2/regsub.py:15: DeprecationWarning: the regsub module is deprecated; please use re.sub() DeprecationWarning) and /usr/local/lib/python2.2/regsub.py:15: DeprecationWarning: the regsub module is deprecated; please use re.sub() DeprecationWarning) I added a filter rule to direct the cron job emails to the trash and got 442 back in about a 12 hour period. Any suggestions on how to tame this beast? Thanks. Gerry.

Repeat messages
by Joseph McCall Feb. 28, 2002

Feb. 28, 2002

Although I know the answer will be "check your MTA" I thought I'd throw this one out to the list anyway. RH 7.1 + Postfix (chroot'd) + Mailman 2.0.8 Sending out a newsletter to ~12000 subscribers. One group of addresses, all at the same domain, received multiple copies of the email (~20 each). Every entry in maillog is identical except for the timestamp and shows status=sent (250 Ok). IP's and names replaced to protected the harassed. Feb 24 23:31:03 lists postfix/smtp[13929]: 049AA27294: to=<name(a)replaced.com>, relay=smtp.replaced.com[1.2.3.4], delay=0, status=sent (250 Ok) Feb 24 23:32:04 lists postfix/smtp[14206]: C9FC2272AC: to=<name(a)replaced.com>, relay=smtp.replaced.com[1.2.3.4], delay=1, status=sent (250 Ok) Feb 24 23:33:02 lists postfix/smtp[14206]: C1A7B272AC: to=<name(a)replaced.com>, relay=smtp.replaced.com[1.2.3.4], delay=1, status=sent (250 Ok) Feb 24 23:34:02 lists postfix/smtp[14206]: 8F5C1272AC: to=<name(a)replaced.com>, relay=smtp.replaced.com[1.2.3.4], delay=0, status=sent (250 Ok) Feb 24 23:35:02 lists postfix/smtp[14206]: 35766272AC: to=<name(a)replaced.com>, relay=smtp.replaced.com[1.2.3.4], delay=0, status=sent (250 Ok) Feb 24 23:36:03 lists postfix/smtp[14206]: EFED6272AC: to=<name(a)replaced.com>, relay=smtp.replaced.com[1.2.3.4], delay=1, status=sent (250 Ok) It's doing this retry every minute, per qrunner cron job I suppose. Users are only subscribed once, strings on config.db show the users have three entries each (which everyone appears to have). In Postfix I've altered the queue lifetime and set the minimal retry time to 10 hours to limit repeated sends. To top it all off, after shutting down Postfix and clearing the queues, the repeats started again once Postfix was back up. Shutdown, cleared everything, rebooted the server, back up, same problem. Two addresses at the same domain continue to get hammered. Recursive grep'ing on mailman directory shows only the config.db and config.db.last file have entries for the user's names. Any ideas?

Deleting all list members
by Paul Rubin Feb. 28, 2002

Feb. 28, 2002

I am trying to support someone who wants to manage the subscriber list off of mailman and then upload the current list to mailman. Adding may members is easy, but removal is a problem. I determined that I could make a script that: 1.. config_list -o 2.. rmlist 3.. newlist 4.. config_list -i This only has one short coming, the list password. I can get the list owner's e-mail from the config but not the password. Can anyone suggest a way to recover the password? Thanks. Paul.

Email administration
by E. Sterling Wall Feb. 28, 2002

Feb. 28, 2002

Hello, I am wondering if there is a way to subscribe users as an admin using an email interface. What I am trying to do is write a script that will take information from a new member sign up form at one Web site and subscribe that individual to email lists on a different server. That's why neither the command line interface nor the Web-based interface really serve this particular purpose. I did mess with the listname-request@server option, but that signs people up as themselves, and so the request still needs to be approved by an admin on the Website. The whole point of this is to take out the extra subscription steps that the volunteer admins are doing now while still ensuring that the users are going through the correct Membership Form (ie not subscribing to the listserv without having signed up as a member of the organization). What I need is an equivalent to the majordomo email command where you send something like subscribe <address> <admin-password> . Does such a thing exist? - sterling -- Sumgai Technology http://www.sumgai.co.uk p. 01628 780738 m. 07880 642194

changing contact-addr at listinfo+admin-mainpage
by Jonas Meurer Feb. 27, 2002

Feb. 27, 2002

Hello, I already have posted this 1 week ago. Can nobody help me? How can I change the 'send question or comments to'-Addr on the main- listinfo and admin-page? The domain isn't right. I've set DEFAULT_HOST_NAME, but this mail-addr is still another hostname.
