Python version?
by Darryl Harvey 29 Mar '03

29 Mar '03

I run a RedHat 7.3 system, it has mailman 2.0.13, python 1.5 and python 2.2 installed. If you run python you run V1.5.2 If you run python2 you run V2.2.2 I have noticed in the mailman scripts that it calls python (not python2). I thought you needed python V2.2 to run mailman ? AFAIK there are no sym links to python2, but I may be wrong. What gives? Just curious. Thanks Darryl

Unfortunately, that's difficult. We have a single server that is sitting in a colo site. Normally, the way we do it is to stage the new system on another system, then either swap in the new system or replace the disks. But, building Python2 is a better option. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf(a)blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

reconfigure default install
by ben strawbridge 28 Mar '03

28 Mar '03

Hello, I need to re-configure the default installation for mailman. It was installed on my server as part of the redhat linux os installation. Where should i look for the configure script? I have looked for the src rpm for version 2.0.9 of mailman but can't find it, and I don't think it was ever installed on my system... i am getting the common problem of the wrong cgi-gid and need to reconfigure with that switch, any assistance is appreciated. thanks, Ben Strawbridge - Senior Interface Engineer ------------------------------------------------- Cenozoa Corporation 33 Little West 12th St. #106A New York, NY 10014 http://www.cenozoa.com

RE: [Mailman-Users] Sendmail port 25
by Sullivan, John 28 Mar '03

28 Mar '03

No I found the problem: Sendmail is shipped to only listen on the local host. I need to change that. Here's an FAQ on it below. Most of you using sendmail as your MTA had to configure this at some point - Can anyone give me directions - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- .3.1.3 -- Why can't I receive mail with Red Hat 7.1 and later? Date: May 3, 2001 Updated: June 11, 2001 Updated: December 4, 2002 Red Hat, like some other vendors, changed the way that sendmail is run. (See 4.22 for a more general discussion of this problem.) They decided that most people need a client-only version of sendmail. So it is listening only on the localhost interface. Check the RH documentation on how to change that: Make sure that you have installed the "sendmail-cf" package on your system -- it should be on your install media. Then check the file "sendmail.mc" (probably in "/etc/mail"). Look for the string "DAEMON_OPTIONS" and for the comment lines near that string. Also note that Red Hat 7.1 and later build sendmail with tcpwrapper support, and provide a hosts.deny file that rejects all external mail. The sendmail:ALL addition to hosts.allow fixes this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PS Sorry for being a newbie - Let me know if anyone needs help with Cisco configs :) -----Original Message----- From: Dallas Bethune [mailto:dallas@dreamhost.com] Sent: Friday, March 28, 2003 2:35 PM To: Sullivan, John Cc: 'mailman-users(a)python.org' Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Sendmail port 25 Either sendmail is not binding to an IP that's reachable from the outside (by default it should bind to all the IP's on the machine, though) or maybe you have some sort of firewall blocking off port 25.

I am using opera 6.02, mozilla 1.3 or phoenix 0.5 on Red Hat Linux 7.3. I tried to run the admin cgi-script directly from the command line, and I get a different error - Content-type: text/html <head> <title>Mailman CGI error!!!</title> </head><body> <h1>Mailman CGI error!!!</h1> The expected gid of the Mailman CGI wrapper did not match the gid as set by the Web server.<p>The most likely cause is that Mailman was configured and installed incorrectly. Please read the INSTALL instructions again, paying close attention to the <tt>--with-cgi-gid</tt> configure option. This entry is being stored in your syslog: <pre> Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 48, GOT gid 501. (Reconfigure to take 501?)</pre> So now I am thinking I need to reconfigure mailman. This mailman was not installed by me on this system, however I am not adverse to reconfiguring it to make the admin pages work. I think it was installed from rpm by the default redhat mailman install for redhat 7.3, can anyone help me out with reconfiguring this script to accept the correct gid? thanks. Ben.

Hi all - I am having some problems sending out emails to my lists. I have Red Hat 8.0 Sendmail MailMan 2.0.1 I have a test lists set up with test users. When a user subscribes to the list they get a confirmation from the mailman server but when they reply there email seems to just get lost. When I send out an email to the list nothing gets delivered. My server name is lists.mlsnet.com and my list is called 90minutes and I should be able to send mail to 90minutes(a)lists.mlsnet.com <mailto:90minutes@lists.mlsnet.com> to send an email to all of the subscribers. Here is some log errors from maillog file: Mar 28 11:48:21 localhost sendmail[10484]: h2SGmKFc010484: from=root, size=388, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200303281148.20675.90minute(a)90minutes.com>, relay=localhost [[UNIX: localhost]] Mar 28 11:48:22 localhost sendmail[10486]: h2SGmLjh010486: from=< <http://lw11fd.law11.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/compose?curmbox=F000000005&a=fa f76a38f4023445548c138e0ad20419&mailto=1&to=root(a)localhost.localdomain&msg=MS G1048870350.86&start=1072965&len=2281&src=&type=x> root(a)localhost.localdomain>, size=577, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200303281148.20675.90minute(a)90minutes.com>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] Mar 28 11:48:22 localhost sendmail[10484]: h2SGmKFc010484: to=90minutes(a)lists.mlsnet.com, ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:02, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=relay, pri=30387, relay=localhost.mlsnet.com.
