Mar 28 06:51:02 2002 (1584) smtp for 1 recips, completed in 0.011 seconds Mar 28 06:51:02 2002 (1584) All recipients refused: (111, 'Connection refused') Can anyone tell me what the error is and how to fix it? Thanks, David

Hi, I'm moving a live list over to a different server, before the move could be completed there were some pending posts held for administor approval, I copied over the request.db file but when I access the pending task section, the it shows that posts are being held but it can't find the message: Posting Held for Approval (1 of 5) Message with id #119 was lost. Where would the message be on the old server? Thanks, Sean

I am receiving this error when this cron job runs. What is causing this and how would I go about fixing it?

Easiest way is to use a procmail/maildrop/hldfilter filter prior to the Mailman wrapper to strip the headers. -- 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.

Editing confirm message
by Jason Buscema 28 Mar '02

28 Mar '02

I know how to turn on/off the welcome message, but I want to be able to edit the default confirm message. For the users of my list, the confirm message is a little complicated. I assume editing the confirm message will be a global change, and that is fine. I want to simplify the confirm message. Any ideas?

I had the same experience you mentioned. For my recent migration from MM 1.1 to MM 2.0.8, I created new lists on the new server, copied from the old server the subdirectories for my lists under ~mailman/lists and ~mailman/archives to the new server. Then updated the config.db manually using the Web interface. To get the email addresses, use the list_members utility found in ~mailman/bin <excerpt> <fontfamily><param>Times New Roman</param>I just installed a mailman 2.0.8 on a RH Linux 7.2 server. I had 6 lists on an old server (which I do not have anymore) running mailman 1.x . I was unsuccessful trying to upgrade the lists directly on the mm 2.0.8.

There are utilities that are distributed with 'procmail' and/or 'maildrop' that are very useful for this sort of thing, in particular 'formail' and 'reformail'. You can use them to add, remove, and extract headers, and do all sorts of things to scandalize the Mailman developers. :) Procmail: http://www.procmail.org/ Maildrop: http://www.flounder.net/~mrsam/maildrop/

Re: [Mailman-Users] changes to existing mailing list

It's on our server and this is for one of our clients. We are using solaris x86 with qmail. I'm not sure which file you speak of. Since we don't use email.fwd, I don't know what that leaves. What config file do you mean? >Did he check his config file for his MTA (i.e. sendmail, qmail, fetchmail)? > >Tom > >At 02:06 PM 03/26/2002 -0800, you wrote: >>I hope this is the right list to post this question to.

Old List Memebers
by Farid, Tarek 28 Mar '02

28 Mar '02

Hello, I just installed a mailman 2.0.8 on a RH Linux 7.2 server. I had 6 lists on an old server (which I do not have anymore) running mailman 1.x . I was unsuccessful trying to upgrade the lists directly on the mm 2.0.8. IS THERE A WAY I COULD EXTRECT THE LIST MEMEBERS (EMAILS) FROM THOSE OLD LISTS? I think it would be much easier to recreate the lists in 2.0.8 and add the email addresses. Thank you for your help, TF
