bugs in Mailman 2.1.3, one critical for private mailists
by Pablo Chamorro C. Oct. 30, 2003

Oct. 30, 2003

I found that Mailman 2.1.3 has a serious bug, accessing to the private mailman archives and the membership options page, when a user changes his password. The web authentication simply fails. The other bug is this: the email command 'set delivery' (on/off) doesn't work. Please, read the complete bugs report at: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/msg06638.html Some idea?. Thanks in advance, Pablo Chamorro C.

Digest Log File
by Mark Dadgar Oct. 30, 2003

Oct. 30, 2003

So throught the last couple of Mailman releases (I'm currently running 2.1.3), my digest log file stay empty (even though I have users in digest mode). Anyone know why that is? I'm assuming that at least something should be written there when a digest is generated, etc., no? - Mark, curious ----- mark(a)pdc-racing.net

Broken links in administrative interface
by Jonathan Bentley Oct. 30, 2003

Oct. 30, 2003

Hi, I've successfully installed mailman on our server and have created a test list or two. While I can access the list through the web interface, all the links in the main menu have the wrong url, so I cannot modify any of the list settings. For us, mailman is accessed through a url resembling: http://www.aaa.bbb.gov.au/cgi-bin/mailman However, for some unknown reason the links on the mailman admin page point to: http://www.aaa.gov.au/cgi-bin/mailman, which happens to be another of our web servers. I have grepped all the files in the mailman tree to find any references to "www.aaa.gov.au" and none were found. I am mystified. Where can this URL be coming from? For reference, the mm_cfg.py file has had the following added to it: --- # Put YOUR site-specific settings below this line. DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.aaa.bbb.gov.au' DEFAULT_HOST_NAME= 'www.aaa.bbb.gov.au' DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'ccc.aaa.gov.au' add_virtualhost('www.aaa.bbb.gov.au', 'ccc.aaa.gov.au') I've waded through a mountain of mailman posts/documentation/FAQs and cannot find a solution to this problem, let alone anyone with a similar problem. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Jon.

Since several entries before this say they "will not" I guess they just throw the dice or something to see what the policy of the day is? And that page has not changed in 5 months, which is really no help at all. <>< Paul

I have setting that match those which were reported to be a problem and mail goes to AOL just fine. I have several hundred AOL users receiving mail on a dozen lists, and yet my AOL bounces for the last 48 hours are 9 - and I assume some of those were one account bouncing two days running. I also asked on one list if AOL members would let me know if they were getting mail and how - and I got plenty of responses from both single e-mail and digest users. I'm not saying there is no problem but it does no seem to be wide spread, and clearly it can be dealt with from this side of AOL's iron curtain. I have heard a rumour that AOL's new spam filters are rejecting mail that has URLs as dotted quad addresses. If your server is identifying URLs this way it would be something to look into. <>< Paul

using mailman without web interface & mail reception problems
by Silvan Kaiser Oct. 29, 2003

Oct. 29, 2003

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi ppl, just installed mailman, made my way through the configuration and got stopped, two issues: I want to use the email interface only, no web interface at all (maybe i integrate it later on). Is this possible? What would be entered in the web_page_url option? And the second one. When trying to subscribe my own list an error was returned, 'mylistname' in 'mylistname@mydomain' was not recognized ("unknown local part"), as there's no user 'mylistname' on the machine this seems ok. How does mailman receive his list emails? What else but new_list do i have to run to get the lists working? Thanks for any replies & bye Silvan - -- Dipl.-Inform.

Just saw this today. May not be related, but still something to be aware of. 220-America Online (AOL) and its affiliated companies do not 220- authorize the use of its proprietary computers and computer 220- networks to accept, transmit, or distribute unsolicited bulk 220- e-mail sent from the internet. Effective immediately: AOL 220- may no longer accept connections from IP addresses which 220 have no reverse-DNS (PTR record) assigned.
