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 29 Nov '02

29 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

SOLVED: Postfix+Mailman alias-free and in separate namespace
by Dax Kelson 23 Nov '02

23 Nov '02

I've created the script postfix-to-mailman.py. Python seemed natural, as mailman is written in python, and invoking postfix-to-mailman.py script on delivery to mailman just warms up the disk cache with all the python code and speeds invocation of mailman. Postfix configuration samples (thanks Wietse) can be found inside the script itself. The script is heavily based on the qmail-to-postfix script by Bruce Perens. You can get the script at: http://www.gurulabs.com/downloads.html Dax Kelson Guru Labs

MM & Mac OS X ?
by Brent Rossow 09 Oct '02

09 Oct '02

I searched the archives for the past several months and found very little mention of anyone running Mailman on Mac OS X. Back in January, when I was setting up a new mail server for our agency, I went with Mac OS X 10.1 for the plain old SMTP/POP needs, but I also needed a listserv package. At the time, I tried unsuccessfully to get Mailman set up but had no luck in the timeframe I was allotted. Instead, I've been running Majordomo pretty successfully since then, using Webmin for my various list administrators to do their thing. I'm now in a position to re-evaluate our listserv options as I'm planning to step up to Mac OS X Server 10.2 (Jaguar) in the next month or two (probably implementing over the Thanksgiving break.) I like the features it includes and it integrates perfectly with our all-Mac network. I'd like to take another look at Mailman, but this time I'm not too proud to ask for help. Long story short, I'm running Mac OSXS 10.2 on a development machine. I spent the better part of this afternoon trying to get it configured. I've got the developer tools installed, of course, and followed the MM directions to the absolute letter. I've created the mailman user and group as directed. I created the mailman directory with proper permissions. Everything looked good when I did config and 'make install' but when I use the check_perms script (after creating a test list) I get the following: directory permissions must be at least 02775: /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/test.mbox directory permissions must be at least 02775: /usr/local/mailman/archives/public/test.mbox directory permissions must be at least 02775: /usr/local/mailman/lists/test Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/check_perms", line 281, in ? checkmail() File "bin/check_perms", line 202, in checkmail mode = statmode(wrapper) File "bin/check_perms", line 74, in statmode return os.stat(path)[ST_MODE] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper' The first three lines I understand the problem, although I don't know why MM didn't set the permissions properly when I created the list. I have no idea what the rest is saying. I know the last line is looking for the file in question, which apparently wasn't created during the install process. The 'wrapper' file is simply missing -- why, I have no idea. I should note here that aside from the first three lines, I got exactly the same error immediately after running the make and before any lists were created. I reinstalled MM from scratch twice with identical results. Using the -f flag didn't fix anything, nor did running the entire install and post-test process as root (and I know that's discouraged; I was trying everything I could think of to get it to work.) If anyone has successfully installed MM on Mac OS X, I'd love to get some pointers. Majordomo is working adequately, but I'd like my listserv package to be more than just "adequate." Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Brent
