Not delivering
by Giovanni P. Tirloni 02 Apr '02

02 Apr '02

Hi, I had Mailman 2.0.8 working perfectly last week but for unknown reason it's not delivering the messages anymore. The email is sent to "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper post mylist" and nothing happens. This is happening with all (7) mailing lists I have. Any idea what it could be ? There's nothing in the pending tasks. Thanks in advance, -- Giovanni P. Tirloni

Module search path in Python/Mailman
by Peter Bengtson 02 Apr '02

02 Apr '02

What is the recommended way to extend Python's module search path when using Mailman? When compiling Mailman (MacOS X), the following warning appears: > warning: install: modules installed to '/Users/mailman/pythonlib/', > which is not in Python's module search path (sys.path) -- you'll have > to change the search path yourself And when Mailman is run, a posting to the moderated "Mailman" list results in a message which keeps coming back hundreds of times: > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/Users/mailman/cron/qrunner", line 89, in ? > from Mailman.Handlers import HandlerAPI > File "../Mailman/Handlers/HandlerAPI.py", line 26, in ? > ImportError: No module named pythonlib.StringIO So: should i use $PYTHONPATH dynamically? Or should i set up a symbolic link in site-packages plus a .pth file? Does this file need to contain all the subdirectories (email + japanese and further down?) Do I need to recompile or is this a dynamic process? Should I add the /Users/mailman/pythonlib directory somewhere in the ./configure invocation. There is absolutely no documentation about this in the 2.1 Mailman beta distribution. Searching the Python site reveals several strategies, but it is difficult to know the optimal one to use with Mailman. Grateful for any help. / Peter Bengtson

Traffic with a large list
by Olwen Williams 02 Apr '02

02 Apr '02

Mailman is pre-installed with web-hosting I have. I'm considering moving a large active list to it. There are currently over 5000 members on the Yahoogroups list, with 50-100 messages a day, fully-moderated by a panel of moderators. I feel sure mailman could cope with the volumes, but can anyone give me a feel for the bandwidth involved with a list of this size?

What is the best way to make Python 2.2 load the modules in $prefix/pythonlib? During the make process on MacOS X, the following message is produced: > warning: install: modules installed to '/Users/mailman/pythonlib/', > which is not in Python's module search path (sys.path) -- you'll have > to change the search path yourself So, how is the Python module search path changed? / Peter Bengtson

Hello, I have big problems with compiling mailman-2.1b1: I make everything like described in INSTALL. But at 'make install' it says: --- [ ... ] Compiling /opt/mailman21//Mailman/i18n.py ... Compiling /opt/mailman21//Mailman/versions.py ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/update", line 44, in ? import paths ImportError: No module named paths make: *** [update] Error 1 --- I've installed python2.2 on Debian GNU/Linux with Kernel 2.4.16. Anybody an idea? Bye Jonas -- Claiming that your operating system is the best in the world because more people use it is like saying McDonalds makes the best food in the world.
