Hide list address?
by Ricardo Kleemann 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

Hi, Is there any way to configure Mailman such that, for an announcement-only type list, when a message is sent to the list, the To: shows the member's address, rather than the list address? Some list software allows the ability to hide the list address itself, so that address is not advertised. I couldn't find any configuration specific to that.

Where is 'reject' message stored
by Warren Hoffman 24 Jan '05

24 Jan '05

One of my associates set up content filters to reject attachments and other things. He created a custom message to explain this. Now he wants to change the message, but I cannot locate which file in /mailman holds the text (and I did look at all of them). Can somebody tell me how I could find it. I do know text fragments. Thanks!!! --Warren

Upgrade hell (Debian)

Upgrade script broke (not the first time). from Mailman import MailList from Mailman.LockFile import TimeOutError from Mailman.i18n import _ I'm getting error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/update", line 51, in ? from Mailman.i18n import _ ImportError: No module named i18n It doesn't balk on the line before, so it doesn't seem to be a path issue. When I comment that line out (for grins), it balks on: from Mailman.Queue.Switchboard import Switchboard from Mailman import OldStyleMemberships from Mailman.MemberAdaptor import BYBOUNCE, ENABLED Any clues? -- _Deirdre http://deirdre.net "Cannot run out of time.

Mailing List Defaults
by Merle Reine 19 Feb '04

19 Feb '04

Hello, all. I have around 300 mailing lists and more going up all the time. For each list I setup, I have to setup some defaults for our company such as listadmin, do not send pass reminders, digest options, etc. My question is, is there a way to set my particular defaults to be the defaults for a newlist creation? So when I create a new list, all the settings that I usually have to go into and change for each and every list would already be there? I have created a custom admin page with just a simple text box with "Create List". this way, only I can get to this page and to add a list, I simply type in the name and hit submit to create the list. If I could get it to have all the defaults I normally have to change and have them setup by default, it would make for no hassle management. If anyone knows where the defaults are stored for a list creation, or how to change all of the defaults, please let me know.

no subjects in pipermail archive listing
by Guy Antony Halse 14 Jan '04

14 Jan '04

Recently several of the mailing lists we run have developed a strange problem when generating the pipermail web archive pages. For a period of about ten days or so, all mail messages posted to the mailing list appear in the web archive with a subject of "No subject". When I view the actual messages through the web, they're not complete - in most cases the first few lines of the message are missing, and in some cases the entire message is. If I copy the relevent mbox for the list and open it using my mail client (mutt), it opens fine and it appears as if all the mail messages are complete. mutt indexes it as I remember the actual postings being, complete with subjects. The same is true of all lists that have this problem. I suspected that the indexes were corrupt, and so I ran arch --wipe on the list to rebuild the archive in the hopes that it would fix the problem. Unfortunately it didn't. We're running mailman 2.1.3 with the July 2003 RSS feed patches from http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=657951&group_id=10… Any help or suggestions people might give that will help me regenerate the archive indexes properly would be appreciated. - guy -- Systems Manager, IT Division, Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa Email: G.Halse(a)ru.ac.za Web: http://mombe.org/ IRC: rm-rf(a)irc.zanet.net *** ANSI Standard Disclaimer *** J.A.P.H

Howdy! I'm experiencing similar errors to those described by Stephen Gran early in December as well as these: --- Dec 30 23:46:13 2003 (97949) Delivery exception: EOF read where object expected Dec 30 23:46:13 2003 (97949) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/HandlerAPI.py", line 83, in do_pipeline func(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py", line 183, in process hold_for_approval(mlist, msg, msgdata, ImplicitDestination) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py", line 219, in hold_for_approval mlist.HoldMessage(msg, reason, msgdata) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/ListAdmin.py", line 145, in HoldMessage self.__opendb() File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/ListAdmin.py", line 69, in __opendb self.__db = marshal.load(fp) EOFError: EOF read where object expected --- I'm fumbling a bit, really, making my question simple - how can I debug this problem further? What seems to be the problem? --lars
