Too many pending requests?
by Per Starback 07 Jul '03

07 Jul '03

I can't get to the pending request page for a mailing list. (My web clients just say "waiting for response" and finally give up.) I think it is because there are too many pending requests after some problems. (config.db is almost 10MB.) How can I do this some other way?

mailman & postfix problem
by Rob Hudson 28 Nov '02

28 Nov '02

I recently set up mailman on a debian machine with postfix as the MTA. It appears to be working to a point. I've set up a list via the web interface. When I send a request to the list, postfix receives the mail and sends it to another domain (?). I'll try to include as much information as I can... We're hosting these two domains for our linux group: euglug.org and euglug.com. We're also hosting euglug.net, but only the web pages. Currently, euglug.net mail and it's mailing lists are hosted on another machine, which we'll eventually transfer to euglug.org. I've set up one test list called 'beer'. When I send an email to beer-request(a)euglug.org, the following shows up in my maillogs. Note the euglug.net domain... May 2 21:07:35 tux postfix/smtpd[2261]: connect from cogit8.org[207.189.137.44] May 2 21:07:36 tux postfix/smtpd[2261]: 0621398: client=cogit8.org[207.189.137.44] May 2 21:07:36 tux postfix/cleanup[2262]: 0621398: message-id=<1020398591.6046.2.camel@fuggles> May 2 21:07:36 tux postfix/smtpd[2261]: disconnect from cogit8.org[207.189.137.44] May 2 21:07:36 tux postfix/qmgr[27174]: 0621398: from=<rob(a)euglug.net>, size=698, nrcpt=1 (queue active) May 2 21:07:36 tux postfix/smtp[2264]: 0621398: to=<"|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd beer"@euglug.net>, relay=mail.euglug.net[207.189.131.4], delay=0, status=sent (250 ok 1020398444 qp 11289) Here are some various configs: ---------------- postfix virtuals ---------------- # What domains do we accept for: # euglug.org virtual euglug.com virtual # # Mailing Lists: needed here b/c not local users? # # Beer beer(a)euglug.org "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper post beer" beer-admin(a)euglug.org "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner beer" beer-request(a)euglug.org "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd beer" beer-owner(a)euglug.org beer-admin ------------ /etc/aliases ------------ # See man 5 aliases for format postmaster: root mailman: rob(a)euglug.net mailman-owner: mailman I've grepped all the mailman directories I could find as to where the euglug.net domain is coming from, but can't find any reference to it. Any help is appreciated. And any config tips are appreciated also. Thanks, Rob

"True" virtual domains [netaktiv.com #99]
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 16 Sep '02

16 Sep '02

We are an ISP and we have several clients requesting a mailing list. Often, the names collide. No problems with email addresses, we know how to configure Postfix to have info(a)company.com and info(a)npo.org point to different mailboxes. But I cannot do the same with Mailman. Mailing lists are apparently unique, whatever the domain is. So, I must create info-company and info-npo and set a different host_name for each list. Not a big deal except that this name appears in messages sent and info-company(a)company.com is not really elegant. I tried changing real_name. As its documentation said, it is discouraged and, indeed, it does not work (the original name still appears in messages).

Allowing posts with certain topics/blocking all others
by Sarah K. Miller 16 Sep '02

16 Sep '02

I have a list that I'd like to enforce a set of headers on. In other words, each message subject must start with a certain word in order be posted. Has anybody found a way to do this? I know I can block messages with certain headers, but I want to block all messages and only allow those with the approved headers. If anybody has a great idea how to accomplish this, please pass it on ... -- Sarah

Stop monthly password reminders?
by Josh Lothian 12 Aug '02

12 Aug '02

Hi all, Quick question: I've looked through most of the options available to a list admin, and I can't find one to disable the monthly password reminders. I know this sounds like a bad idea, but we have a secretary who maintains quite a few mailing lists for out department, and we'd like to switch her over to mailman. However, we probably don't want students to be able to unsubscribe themselves from certain of our announcement-type mailing lists. Any ideas? Am I missing something simple? Thanks much, Josh Lothian System Administrator University of Tennessee, Department of Computer Science
