mailman loops because of & in an address
by Antenna Support 26 Apr '02

26 Apr '02

Dear people, We just experienced a loop: a message was sent many times because it wasn't deleted in the /home/mailman/qfiles directory The error mailed was: /usr/bin/python -S /home/mailman/cron/qrunner sh: c.lovell(a)xtra.co.nz: command not found c... User unknown It appeared that there was an address added to the list: m&c.lovell(a)xtra.co.nz The loop could only be stopped by removing the .msg and .db file in the qfiles directory. I also removed this address from the subscribers. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening again? We run mailman 2.0.6 on Redhat Linux and it seems on first sight an error in the combination python/mailman. Thanks for bothering, Tsjebbe de Vries Antenna Foundation The Netherlands

newuser needs help

Hi, I am attempting to run mailman a RH 7.2 box with apache and sendmail. The install went fine. The problem I have is the apache config portion of the instructions. Note that I had to install apache to install mailman. I haven't used apache up to this point. The install is from i386 rpm downloaded from the Red Hat site. The instructions from that install say: When the mailman package has finished installing, you will need to: * run /var/mailman/bin/mmsitepass to create the mailman administrator password * edit /var/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py to customize mailman's configuration for your site * add these lines: ScriptAlias /mailman/ /var/mailman/cgi-bin/ Alias /pipermail/ /var/mailman/archives/public/ Options +FollowSymlinks to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf to configure your web server. At this point, apache will come up. With the basic intall default. The mailman interface on the http server does not. I believe that I've done the httpd.conf changes incorrectly. I found the Alias area in the above file. I added the Alias line there. I found ScriptAlias area also and added the above line there also. I found a line with Options FollowSymlinks and changed it to Options +followSymlinks What am I doing wrong? Thanks, -- jrb "The only well-adjusted people in this world...are dead."

Need Technical Assistance

Anyone, Whenever I log on to the Administrative Authentication page in order to approve my own email postings, I always get the following message below after clicking "Submit All Data": Important: From this point on, you must have cookies enabled in your browser, otherwise no administrative changes will take effect. "Session cookies are used in Mailman's administrative interface so that you don't need to re-authenticate with every administrative operation. This cookie will expire automatically when you exit your browser, or you can explicitly expire the cookie by hitting the Logout link under Other Administrative Activities (which you'll see once you successfully log in). However, the email still doesn't get approved. Today is the first day that I have encountered the above message. Has the moderator's approval procedure been changed. Does anyone know what should I do? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks, Manuel Tuazon Mailman User
