Mailman 3 August 2002 - Mailman-Users

can't find /usr/bin/env
by Dusty McDonald 30 Aug '02

30 Aug '02

I am trying to install mailman on Solaris8. 'make install' dies with "/usr/bin/env: No such file or directory" /usr/bin/env does exist: bash-2.03$ ls -l /usr/bin/env total 110336 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 5116 Jan 5 2000 /usr/bin/env check_perms finds the same problem. The file is global read and execute. Does mailman need write permission? If so, is that safe, and why the cryptic error message? Is something else hinky? BTW, "check_perms -v" and "check_perms -f" produce exactly the same message as plain old "check_perms". What's happening there?

Mailman stopped working after changing IP address
by Walter Stafford 30 Aug '02

30 Aug '02

Hi, After I changed the ip address of my linux box, mailman stopped working. (Our ISP assigned us a new IP number range). I have changed the hosts file and rerun the m4 sendmail.mc config script. But somewhere I have missed something. I created a new test list and tried to subscribe to it through the web interface but I get no response from it. There are a lot of files piling up in /home/mailman/qfiles None of the lists (I have 4) will forward messages or allow new subscriptions. Can anyone help??

messages to user not being delivered
by Arif Mamdani 30 Aug '02

30 Aug '02

Hey folks, I'm having a really strange issue here, that I've been beating my head against the wall with. If it's okay, I'd like to summarize what I've done, in hopes that one of you may see something that I haven't and be able to provide some guidance in where else I can look. I'm running a number of lists, and we've recently found that one user who's subscribed to two of those lists isn't receiving her messages. On the server, they appear to be delivered just fine: Aug 29 19:27:48 lincproject postfix/smtp[26161]: DBE901AF2A7: to=<xxxxx(a)fifthave.org>, relay=fifthave.org[216.248.203.53], delay=44, status=sent (250 TAA10442 Message accepted for delivery) but on her end, she never sees them. Looking from Mailman logs doesn't show any bounces/errors/anything related to her or the lists in question. We set up a test list, with her as the only subscriber and she does receive messages from that list. What this suggests to me is that the problem is somewhere on her end, but before I confidently say that, I want to be sure that I'm not overlooking something, and have ruled out any possibility of problems at my end. thanks -arif -- Arif Mamdani arif(a)welfarelaw.org Circuit Rider ph: 651.644.0199 LINC Project -- Welfare Law Center c: 917.655.2579 www.lincproject.org www.welfarelaw.org

Batch add w/names?
by Brian W. Kinne 30 Aug '02

30 Aug '02

Greetings; I'm moving lists at my site from listproc to mailman. Some of the old list owners like the ability to associate the e-mail address with a real name. Since 2.1 has this feature, I've tried to batch subscribe members with their names without success. Is there syntax I'm missing, or must I batch subscribe the addresses and then go back and add the names one at a time? I've tried this with 2.1b2. Thanks, Brian
