Digest problems
by Ricky Cain Feb. 27, 2003

Feb. 27, 2003

I have just started using Mailman and I am by no means an advanced user but I have a problem. Digest subscribers on my list are complaining of an html code like text that is interspersed throughout the digest. So, my question is: How do I eliminate this? Is there something I am missing in turning on or off? Thanks in advance for any help you guys may offer, Ricky

qmail install help
by Ronald Petty Feb. 27, 2003

Feb. 27, 2003

I was trying to use the archives but can't find a way to search or view them all without downloading them. I tried to install mailman with qmail, and bascially I am lost about how to set up aliases. I was installing and saw a bunch go by on the screen and then I logged out and now I don't know what it was saying. Could someone point me to a qmail tutorial for mailman besides the one that comes with the src (not very clear, of course Im new to this).

I have a question in connection with sender filters for a closed list. We are using mailman 2.1.1 (german). I have to generate a list, which is closed. I have to allow that all members can send emails to the list and a number of other addresses: special known addresses which I can exactly specify .... is easy to configure a group of addresses ...for instance: all addresses from all domains from our university Can I write: *(a)*.uni-magdeburg.de ??? (I haven't any knowledges about regular expressions in python) -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen M.Lottmann Otto - von - Guericke Universitaet __ __ ____ _____ _ __ Magdeburg / / / / / __ \__ / / | / / ------------------------------------ / / / / / /_/ / / / ______ / |/ / Margrit Lottmann / /_/ / / _, _/ / /_______// /| / Universitaetsrechenzentrum \____/ /_/ |_| /____/ /_/ |_/ Netze & Kommunikation

checkdbs error
by Lisa Soto Feb. 27, 2003

Feb. 27, 2003

Hello, I've looked in the archives and found 2 articles on this problem, but those fixes haven't helped. When I run (or when it runs from cron) checkdbs, I get the following: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./checkdbs", line 139, in ? main() File "./checkdbs", line 80, in main text += '\n' + pending_requests(mlist) File "./checkdbs", line 99, in pending_requests for id in mlist.GetSubscriptionIds(): File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/ListAdmin.py", line 157, in GetSubscriptionIds return self.__getmsgids(SUBSCRIPTION) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/ListAdmin.py", line 149, in __getmsgids ids = [k for k, (type, data) in self.__db.items() if type == rtype] ValueError: unpack tuple of wrong size I tried applying the checkdbs patch, to no effect, and also tried removing the files from /var/lib/mailman/data. Any ideas? -- Lisa Soto lsoto(a)bnl.gov (631) 344-2009 Systems Administrator Enterprise Unix Services

Change mailman web port?
by Ian Marlier Feb. 27, 2003

Feb. 27, 2003

I'm running Mailman on a server behind a DSL line, and the DSL provider doesn't allow access to port 80. So I need to run the web part of Mailman on another port. I can access all of the pages fine (ie, apache is set up correctly), BUT all of the links, in the Mailman pages as well as the e-mails that Mailman generates, refer to the server name _without_ the non-standard port. Right now, mailman generates links like http://lists.server.com/mailman/listinfo/.... and I need http://lists.server.com:8080/mailman/listinfo/.... Where would I look to make this change? Thanks much, Ian

I am trying to start qrunner on my system - I can run it manually. When I try to start it with the script that I copied to my /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory, it gives me this message, and does not start: Site list is missing: mailman What does this mean??

RE: [Mailman-Users] Can mailman archvies be viewed as HTML? A FEW QUICK QUESTIONS

Any chance of HTML format email archives being added to Mailman? Barry is looking for volunteers to do that now... Could be your shot at making it into the big leagues of Open Source! :-) It would be a fun project, but I've grown used to using MHonarc when I need an archiver that can handle MIME/HTML. > 2. Also do I have to do anything special to put Mailman on a virtual domain? For version 2.1.x read the ~mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py file (but make any changes to the mm_cfg.py file). The archives also have lots of examples of setting up Virtual domains. > 3. Is there a simple command to email a list's subscription list to the > administrator? Nothing built-in to Mailman, but it can be done from the command line: ~mailman/bin/list_members <listname> To mail it to yourself: list_members <listname> |mail -s "<listname> members" me(a)mydomain.com Good Luck - Jon Carnes

Mailman eating whitespaces in subject
by Mads Martin Joergensen Feb. 27, 2003

Feb. 27, 2003

Hey together, I found a weird bug in mailman-2.1.1. It seems mailman is removing whitespaces from the subject line if the subject contains 8-bit characters like æ ä or similar. Just try sending a mail to a testlist running mailman-2.1.1 with the subject "Emne tekst på email til flug listerne" and reply a couple of times. It's eating spaces randomly. Subjects like "ä ë ü and subject whitespaces" will also demonstrate it. -- Mads Martin Joergensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogical, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A.
