Hi I am using Mailman version 2.1b2 on Linux 7.0. I am owner of several of my lists and get a report everyday about the number of messages received and delivered and so forth. I do like to get this report but all of the numbers I received are zeros. I know there is some activity on these list but report shows none. If you can please assist me on this I will appreciate it. Here is a sample report. Grand Totals ------------ messages 0 received 0 delivered 0 forwarded 0 deferred 0 bounced 0 rejected 0 bytes received 0 bytes delivered 0 senders 0 sending hosts/domains 0 recipients 0 recipient hosts/domains Thank you so much for your help.

Chaning users' e-mail addy
by Bob Sully 03 Jan '03

03 Jan '03

Greetings: Using 2.0.8 under RedHat Linux 7.3 with no problems. Is there an easy way to change a user's e-mail address in the database without having to unsubscribe/resubscribe them? Failing that, how can I do it while preserving their existing password?? I have noted the announcement of 2.1. I'm thinking about updating, but don't wish to screw with something that works fine already...! Thanks for all the good work! -- Bob -- ________________________________________ Bob Sully - Simi Valley, California, USA http://www.malibyte.net "The waiting is the hardest part." - T. Petty

2.1b3+/CVS --> 2.1 Upgrade
by Kenneth Jacker 02 Jan '03

02 Jan '03

Most of the "upgrading" suggestions relate to previous, non-CVS releases. Any different/special procedures/"gotchas" to be aware of when upgrading from a CVS (2.1b3+) distribution? Thanks, -Kenneth -- Prof Kenneth H Jacker khj(a)cs.appstate.edu Computer Science Dept www.cs.appstate.edu/~khj Appalachian State Univ Boone, NC 28608 USA

Upgrade to 2.1 with Sendmail not mailing to list?
by Rich West 02 Jan '03

02 Jan '03

This is probably a quick one, but I thought I would mail it out to the list. I did check the archives, but didn't have much luck. We are running 2.0.13 and I took on the task of upgrading to 2.1. Our RH-based server is running Sendmail (8.12.7) and happily chugging along managing a few dozen lists for a variety of domains. After upgrading on our test machine (same exact configuration as the production box), changing the smrsh lins to point to the renamed wrapper "mailman", disabling the old qrunner, and starting up the queue runner daemon, it appears that emails TO the list work just fine. However, email FROM the list out to the recipients doesn't happen. For example, I mail into the list as a non-subscribed user. I go to the web interface, and select "approve". The very next entry in the sendmail logs is: Jan 2 11:44:15 testserv sm-mta[29018]: h02GiFBO029018: localhost [127.0.0.1] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA And then nothing.. no email, nothing. So, I try it as a subscribed user, and I immediately get a message in the sendmail logs as above. I combed through the instructions to no avail. Any ideas would be much appreciated! Thanks! -Rich

Install issue on Mac OS 10.2.3
by Jean-Michel Biraghi 02 Jan '03

02 Jan '03

Hi all, I use the very useful Kathleen Webb's step guide to install mailman 2.1 on Jaguar 10.2.3. I know nothing about Unix... Everything is OK till step 4 with the permissions. The two commands "make" and "bin/check_perms" are not found... and I can't go on... I've tried as administrator and root as well... It's certainly something very simple to resolve but I need help... Did somebody get the same problem ? Thanks in advance ******************************************************************* Jean-Michel Biraghi 4D Hispano 28230 Las Rozas de Madrid, Spain http://www.4dhispano.com *******************************************************************

All the messages I get from the mailman-users list have no body. I am using the Lotus Notes client accessing mail on a lotus notes server. I can only see the message body if I use Notes webmail. Any ideas?

I have posted on sourceforge MM 2.1 compatible versions of my patches to support integration of MM with htdig. There is now a third precursor patch that needs to be applied to correct some defects in some HTML templates in the MM 2.1 distribution. The order in which the patches should be applied is as follows: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=661138&group_id=10… http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=444879&group_id=10… http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=444884&group_id=10… Let me know if you have any problems with these.

No module named korean
by chaim＠chaim.com 02 Jan '03

02 Jan '03

Talk about being on the cutting edge. I was about 95% of the way finished installing v. 2.0 and following along with some docs on list.org when I got a 404 error at the list.org site. Turns out that while I was doing the install 2.1 was released and the list.org site was updated. Any who.. I am attempting to install v 2.1 and am getting an error during the MAKE INSTALL. Since it is detecting an upgrade from 2.0 it is running the make update and choking as follows Listing /home/mailman/Mailman/pythonlib ... Compiling /home/mailman/Mailman/versions.py ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/update", line 45, in ? import paths File "bin/paths.py", line 59, in ? import korean ImportError: No module named korean make: *** [update] Error 1 Is this a known issue or did I stumble across a booboo? I tried to track it down and although I am an experience developer/admin, I am fairly new to Python and Mailman. I am a bit confused about the comments concerning korea and korea.alias. Should I just comment out the importing of korea? thanx, chaim P.S. please cc: me direct as I am not subscribed to this list but just using the web archives.
