How do I set all users to moderated? I don't want them to be able to post messages - They should just be able to view and read the list. I am using RH8 and Mailman 2.0 Thanks..

Sample virtual domain in mm_cfg.py?
by Ray Dzek 31 Mar '03

31 Mar '03

Can somebody provide a sample of how virtual domains are set up in the mm_cfg.py please? I am getting a strange error when I send email to a list@seconddomain. I get an error from the first domain saying that post@firstdomain is not a valid user. It generates a bounce to the poster, but the mail does go through to the list. Postfix is processing mail to both domains correctly outside of Mailman as far as I can tell. RedHat 8 Postfix - postfix-1.1.11-5 Mailman 2.1.1 Also, when I add_virtualhost(seconddomain.com:portnumber, seconddomain.com) to mm_cfg.py it errors out on the ":" specifying the port number. Using a port number works fine for Default_Url_Host Thanks in advance. Ray

Connection Refused to listinfo and archives
by Frederic Herman 31 Mar '03

31 Mar '03

After installing a couple apache modules (php-mysql and mod-auth-mysql) as rpms, I have lost the ability to connect to the listinfo and archives pages. I get "connection refused" and I see nothing in the logs to tell me what the problem is. Everything else is working ok in apache, and mailman can receive posts, sending out the response for the administrator and poster to indicate the post must be approved. I have also searched google and have come up with nothing. I tried running check_perms, and let it fix what it thought were permission problems. I have to lists down now. I'd appreciate any help in finding out what the problem is. I am running apache (httpd-2.0.40-8) and mailman-2.0.13-3 TIA Fred

Hi all. I have some problem using mailman. Suppose you have a user who is a member of two different mailing lists. I want to send the _same_ letter to both of this lists therefore using the "cc" field in my mail client. How can i prevent such a user from receiving the _same_ letter from this two different lists? Or the only way is to remove him from one of them?

Problems: Mailman 2.1.1 upgrade w/ Virtual hosts
by Jim Popovitch 30 Mar '03

30 Mar '03

Hi, I recently tried to upgrade an existing MM 2.0.11 system, with multiple virtual hosts, to MM 2.1.1. The install goes fine, but all of the configs have a generic domainname rather than the specific virtual domain. Additionally, nothing I do (config_list, etc) will set the list with the correct virtual domain. I read the FAQ, UPGRADE, and INSTALL docs, and I have set up mm_cfg.py with the appropriate add_virtualhost statements. What could possibly be wrong, why won't the imported lists honor a virtual domain setting? -Jim P.

Hello List, I have mailman running two lists. Both are small in user numbers running on the same freeBSD 4.3 box with sendmail on Roxen 2.x webserver. Both have been working fine until now. One of the lists is giveing and error whenever I try to perform and administrative function. Going to the pendign admin tasks page is fine but when I either defer, reject, approve or discard any option (which are building up) I get the following: Process.create_process(): exec() failed. errno:7 File not found? Pike backtrace __builtin.create_process: create(({"/home/mailman/cgi-bin/admindb"}),mapping[10]) __builtin: create_process() modules/scripting/cgi.pike:748 (version 2.36): run() modules/scripting/cgi.pike:936 (version 2.36): find_file("admindb",RequestID()) base_server/configuration.pike:1338 (version 1.303): low_get_file(RequestID(),0) base_server/configuration.pike:1528 (version 1.303): get_file(RequestID(),0,0) base_server/configuration.pike:1507 (version 1.303): handle_request(RequestID()) protocols/http.pike:1840 (version 1.228): handle_request() base_server/roxen.pike:491 (version 1.480): unthreaded_handle(protocols/http.pike.handle_request) protocols/http.pike:1968 (version 1.228): got_data(0,".org.au%3E%0D%0A"+[1201]+"t+2months+after+") /usr/local/pike/7.0.54/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/module.pmod:308 (version 1.79): __stdio_read_callback() Generate text only version of this error message, for bug reports ======= I am unable to figure it out and the other list is functioning perfectly.
