How to solve this?

I am having that problem where qrunner is unable to deliver emails and files start to ad up in the qfiles dir without a single email being delivered. I am using sendmail and it looks like the problem is what I get in the smtp log dir (from mailman): Mar 01 16:11:05 2002 (81012) All recipients refused: host not found Mar 01 16:11:05 2002 (81012) All recipients refused: host not found Mar 01 16:11:05 2002 (81012) All recipients refused: host not found Mar 01 16:11:05 2002 (81012) All recipients refused: host not found Mar 01 16:11:05 2002 (81012) smtp for 116 recips, completed in 0.166 seconds Mar 01 16:11:06 2002 (81012) All recipients refused: host not found Mar 01 16:11:06 2002 (81012) All recipients refused: host not found Mar 01 16:11:06 2002 (81012) All recipients refused: host not found Mar 01 16:11:06 2002 (81012) All recipients refused: host not found Mar 01 16:11:06 2002 (81012) smtp for 40 recips, completed in 0.170 seconds So it looks sendmail is refusing the files and for some weird reason Mailman keeps trying to send them. Stop using sendmail is not an option. Does anyone know a way to get it to work? Maybe changing some sendmail option... Thanks. -Bruno -- Fortune Cookie Says: Alexander Graham Bell is alive and well in New York, and still waiting for a dial tone.

How to prevent....
by Michael H Moran 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Running mailman 2.0.8 on RH 7.2 with sendmail. I thought the list was locked do to just the listowner being able to approved held messages and no explict pass throughs. Today someone replied to an approved message ( which uses the list as the sender and explict reply-to of the list ) and it went all the way to the list without being held. Is this a bug or a feature? Better yet, how can I prevent it from happening again ? Thanks. Mike

The University is shutting down our network for several days to upgrade. I have a list for birdwatchers which is 24/7 ... and is very important to the members. If you are willing to host this list for a week or so I would appreciate it. The list is about 500 regular members and 150 digest members. I have the addresses in files that I can send to you. thanks so much in advance. -- Paul L. Schumacher Winona State University Computer Science Department

Random Mail List
by MikeT＠scitechsoft.com 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

I would like to be able to prove when a list begins and ends sending. I tried subscribing aaa(a)mydomain.com and zzz(a)mydomain.com. But the list does not seem to send in alpha order. Looking at a generated file using ~/mailman/bin/list_members does not show the list members in order of date of subscription or alpha. How does mailman choose to send to the list, "Alpha, Date of subscription"? What is a good way to know how many have been sent, or percentage done? Thanks for any help. Regards MikeT

reminder to moderator?
by Andrew Watson 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Today, as expected, my list sent out reminders to subscriber regarding features and options. But even though the message already went to the list, a reminder was also sent to the moderator for approval. Why is that, and is there any harm in just discarding it? -Andrew

Initial configuration
by Ralph Boersema 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Dear Folks, We have just installed mailman and are as yet unfamiliar with it. We have run into a problem with the configuration. I can't get email aliases to work. We tried it out by creating a test group. The problem is that when a user registers for the group, an email is sent to a certain email address created by Mailman. This address forwards (or is supposed to) to the administrator of the group. The problem is that the email address aliases that should point to him are not being created properly, and the email is returned to the sender each time. Does anyone have a suggestion where to look for our problem? Ralph

Approval
by Gregory Bouckhuyt 01 Mar '02

Hi ... I'm using mailman 2.0.8 and it's working fine except for one little detail but annoying. In the general options of my 2 lists, I choosed "No" for the "(Administrivia filter) Check postings and intercept ones that seem to be administrative requests?". But when I send a mail from a subscriber's address to a list, mailman sends a mail to the list owner asking him his approval. Obviously, mailman then waits my approval :).... Isn't "(Administrivia filter) Check postings and intercept ones that seem to be administrative requests?" the right option to change for this feature, where can I set up this? Thnx
