Too many pending requests?
by Per Starback July 7, 2003

July 7, 2003

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 Nov. 29, 2002

Nov. 29, 2002

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

"Members" vs. "Subscribers"
by Bob Weissman Oct. 2, 2002

Oct. 2, 2002

This is a linguistic subtlety in the English version of Mailman. Maliman refers to list subscribers as "members," for example when rejecting a post from a "non-member" to a "members-only" list. This terminology is confusing in some circumstances. Here's why. I run lists for a professional, non-profit, organization which has dues-paying members. Not all paying members subscribe to all lists, and not all subscribers are paying members. If a dues-paying member has a posting rejected to what Mailman calls a "members-only" list, he will promptly complain to me that he is, in fact, a "member." And he's right. He's just not a *subscriber* to the list in question. In my own Mailman 2.0.11 installation, I've scoured the sources for user-visible strings and changed "member" to "subscriber" everywhere I thought it was important. I would like to suggest this become an official terminology change for future versions of Mailman. - Bob

"True" virtual domains [netaktiv.com #99]
by Stephane Bortzmeyer Sept. 16, 2002

Sept. 16, 2002

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).

RE: [Mailman-Users] "relaying prohibited by admin" error

hi, on my DNS server i set lists.mydomain.org to point to the IP addy of the server Mailman is on.

Allowing posts with certain topics/blocking all others
by Sarah K. Miller Sept. 16, 2002

Sept. 16, 2002

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
