Thanks Jeff, That was way to easy and simplistic. I was thinking of a much more complex solution :) Adam -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Hahn [mailto:jeffh@gryphongardens.com] Sent: Monday, March 03, 2003 2:05 PM To: mailman-users(a)python.org Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] archive from text files or from .eml files On Mon, 3 Mar 2003, Adam Lipson wrote: > I am setting up a new list (server as well) and my old list is on a > windows box with software by Lyris.

FW: html emails
by Pamela Wilson March 3, 2003

March 3, 2003

I have an announce-only list that I manage with Mailman. I subscribe and unsubscribe folks--they don't have access to the admin tools. I've been trundling along fine sending twice-monthly plain-text emails to the list. Now, however, I must begin sending HTML emails. Here are my neophyte questions. 1. Where is the setting for allowing messages that aren't just text? I tried to send an HTML email to the list once and it got stripped before it was delivered. I know there's that "plain" checkbox in Membership Management, but the instructions make this look like it only pertains to digest-only members. If it *is* for everybody, is there a way to globally uncheck that box? I wouldn't want to have to physically uncheck 2000+ boxes. 2. I'm looking for recommendations on sending HTML email. I have always been "against it" and find it annoying myself, so as a result I don't know too much about making it happen. Should I send a multi-part MIME message? Or should I send an HTML email and hope that people's mail readers will strip the HTML if their settings are set to "plain text email only"? I naively hoped that my web designer pal was going to help figure some of this stuff out, so at the end of my last plain-text email, I told people this: ****************** E-NEWS GOING HTML The next edition of E-News will be in HTML format. If you do not wish to receive HTML mail and you set your email program's preferences to reflect this, E-News will continue to come to you as a plain text document. ****************** I would like this to be true, if at all possible! What programs do people use to create such messages? Thanks for your help! Pamela Wilson Development and Communications Associate The Women's Foundation San Francisco, CA web www.twfusa.org

archive from text files or from .eml files
by Adam Lipson March 3, 2003

March 3, 2003

After searching the archives of this list I did not see the answer to my question, so can anyone out there address this question? I am setting up a new list (server as well) and my old list is on a windows box with software by Lyris. We are moving away and have all our data saved in outlook and in a foxpro database. To the best of my knowledge neither of these can be exported to a Unix mbox file so am kinda stuck as far as using the normal import to an archive. Is there another way to do it that I missed? Thanks, Adam

Failures after Sendmail upgrade
by Bob Sully March 3, 2003

March 3, 2003

Just upgraded to Mailman 2.0.13 from 2.0.8 a couple of weeks ago. Last week I upgraded Sendmail from 8.12.3 to 8.12.7. I got a bunch of these back today (after the monthly reminders were sent out). Is this a Mailman issue or sendmail? The original message was received at Sat, 1 Mar 2003 05:00:14 -0800 from cust.64-52-19.058.ip.ebrb.net [64.52.19.58] with id h21D0E40020264 ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- "| /var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner samohi74" (reason: Service unavailable) (expanded from: <samohi74-admin(a)malibyte.net>) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- smrsh: "wrapper" not available for sendmail programs (stat failed) 554 5.0.0 Service unavailable It seems that smrsh is the culprit. All was working well until these upgrades were done. Any help with this would be appreciated... -- Bob -- ________________________________________ Bob Sully - Simi Valley, California, USA http://www.malibyte.net "The waiting is the hardest part." - T.

"import site' failed
by Larry Hansford March 3, 2003

March 3, 2003

One of my servers crashed, and was restored, but Mailman doesn't run. I've tried re-installing Mailman (v2.1.1), and it indicates that the configuration completed with no problems. When I do 'make install' there are a number of messages that scroll by indicating that 'import site' failed. But, when I do a 'bin/check_perms' it gets the following error: 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback What am I missing that is causing this error? Thanks! Larry

Hi all Can someone please give me the "string" to add to the mm_cfg.py file that would set the value of "Should Mailman personalize each non-digest delivery?" under the Non-Digest menu to "Yes" for all new lists? Thanks! -- l8r ./JvdW

RE : [Mailman-Users] wrapper executing, but doing NOTHING
by Frederic Perrouin March 3, 2003

March 3, 2003

I've got same problem, did you found some solutions ??? -----Message d'origine----- De : Joel Glickman [mailto:joel_m@joelglickman.com] Envoyé : jeudi 5 décembre 2002 15:43 À : mailman-users(a)python.org Objet : [Mailman-Users] wrapper executing, but doing NOTHING - Running RH7.2, sendmail, mailman 2.0.12 - mailman user & group exist -- /home/mailman exists with correct permissions - ./configure --with-mail-gid=mail --with-cgi-gid=apache, (When configuration script runs, it properly converts mail to 12 and apache to 48, which reflect what's in my /etc/group file) - make install - ln -s /home/mailman/mail/wrapper /etc/smrsh/wrapper - /home/mailman/bin/check_perms returns "No problems found" - Added "tmh" mailling list, added some list members, including joel_m(a)joelglickman.com -- checkbox options are "subscr and plain" - List members DID receive a welcome message from tmh-admin, which means that the wrapper is working properly from the web side - Now, a list member (joel_m) sends a message to tmh(a)tmh.joelglickman.com -- it gets redirected to wrapper .. and NOTHING -- wrapper isn't then sending the message along to list members. And I get no error messages whatsoever? Here's what I get in my maillog: Dec 5 09:24:49 tmh sendmail[10805]: gB5EOnB10805: from=<joel_m(a)joelglickman.com>, size=1107, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<5.2.0.9.0.20021205092912.029557f0(a)192.168.1.15>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=homelan.joelglickman.com [192.168.1.15] Dec 5 09:24:51 tmh sendmail[10806]: gB5EOnB10805: to="|/etc/smrsh/wrapper post tmh", ctladdr=<tmh(a)tmh.joelglickman.com> (8/0), delay=00:00:02, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=prog, pri=30553, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent --- and that's it in maillog -- It doesn't then start resending the message to those on the mailing list? An email to tmh-owner yields similar disappointing results Dec 5 09:32:28 tmh sendmail[10848]: gB5EWSB10848: from=<joel_m(a)joelglickman.com>, size=1121, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<5.2.0.9.0.20021205093641.029543b0(a)192.168.1.15>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=homelan.joelglickman.com [192.168.1.15] Dec 5 09:32:29 tmh sendmail[10849]: gB5EWSB10848: to="|/etc/smrsh/wrapper mailowner tmh", ctladdr=tmh-admin (8/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=prog, pri=30554, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent --- and no message is sent to the owner .. and no error? For reference --- /etc/aliases (and yes I ran ./newaliases) ## tmh mailing list ## created: 17-Sep-2002 root # Had to modify to use /etc/smrsh secure shell directory tmh: "|/etc/smrsh/wrapper post tmh" tmh-admin: "|/etc/smrsh/wrapper mailowner tmh" tmh-request: "|/etc/smrsh/wrapper mailcmd tmh" tmh-owner: tmh-admin Also, executing /etc/smrsh/wrapper from the shell as root yields: [root@tmh mailman-2.0.12]# /etc/smrsh/wrapper post tmh Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 12, GOT gid 0. (Reconfigure to take 0?) ... which seems quite normal to me. I did recompile with-mail-gid=0 so that i could execute it as root from the prompt .. When I did, it looked for data from stdin --- so I typed a hello world message, hit control-d and just got my prompt back .. It didn't do anything, as evidenced by the maillog. Anyone have any advice? I've RTFM'd and think I've done everything right? ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users(a)python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: frederic.perrouin(a)unilog.fr Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/frederic.perrouin%40un…
