I checked the FAQ and did not find an answer to this, so will ask: At the bottom of messages from this list the subscriber's email address and removal address are populated: This message was sent to: boettiger(a)pobox.com Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/boettiger%40pobox.com How is this accomplished? Is is available as a feature in 2.0? AB

Re: [Mailman-Users] special characters in subscriber address

Alex -- Thanks again. I am running Mailman 2.1 with python 2.2.2 on a Red Hat 7.1 system. The syntax of your python script matched what I saw in the withlist example, but there must be something else that prevents me from deleting that address with the quotes. I've been running Mailman for 3 years and I never had a subscriber with special characters in their address before. Nor have I had problems like I've experienced lately with this Mailman list: only a few members getting the mailings, irregular bounce messages, etc. Is the new version of Mailman allowing these special cahracters that were not possible with 2.0x? I have rmlist that list and dumped the members editing the bad address and then added them into a new list. The archives were pretty limited and it is a moderator only-posting list. Thanks again for your suggestions. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: alex wetmore <alex(a)phred.org> Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2003 14:55:43 -0800 (PST) >What version of mailman are you using?

Howdy Tom, mailmanctl needs to be running to push the qfiles through the system. >From the Mailman directory type "bin/mailmanctl start" and check it by "ps -e" You will probably see the mailmanctl and you will definitely see ~6 python daemons.

Paying for Developement on Mailman 3 - an Offer
by Rachel Hamilton-Williams 27 Mar '03

27 Mar '03

Hi there, I have a client who wants basically the functionality you have planned for Mailman 3. We are looking at writing a bunch of code, to achieve the same sort of aims, and I just wondered wether there is a way to give you money to speed up development - instead of duplicating effort :-) We are in New Zealand - and I suspect the NZ dollar doesn't go very far, but if you have an idea of what it would cost to get Mailman 3 up and running in the next 3 months - of if that just isn't possible, please let me know Cheers Rachel _____________________________________________________________ Rachel Hamilton-Williams Katipo Communications WEBMISTRESS ph 021 389 128 or +64 04 934 1285 mailto:rachel@katipo.co.nz PO Box 12487, Wellington http://www.katipo.co.nz New Zealand Koha Open Source Library System http://www.koha.org

email getting lost..
by Sullivan, John 27 Mar '03

27 Mar '03

OK A few problems here. I have Red Hat 8.0 - Send mail working - MailMan 2.0 somewhat working.. I have configured a list and have signed a few accounts up as tests. However, when I login in as Administrator and go to the page where I can do the following. To post a message to all the list members, send email to minutes(a)lists.dummy.com <mailto:minutes@lists.dummy.com> . I send a message to the list but nothing happens it seems that none of the 5 test accounts that I have setup receive an email. Nor do I get a bounce back telling me that anything failed. My Server name is lists.dummy.com I have archiving enabled for private use but when I got the Archive page I see this: Archive File Not Found No file /minutes/ (/var/mailman/archives/private/minutes/) Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong.. I just want to send out a newsletter and I am getting to the point of wits end... Thanks.. John

special characters in subscriber address
by ljacobs 27 Mar '03

27 Mar '03

Somehow a user got subscribed as "pgyallay"@keap@fone.net and this seems to be causing problems with my list. Unfortunately I am unable to unsubscribe this user using the command line remove_members or the web interface. How do I remove this member from the list? Is it possible that this member is causing problems in deliveing messages to my list? The list is 8,600 members and today's mailing seemed to only reach 235 subscribers. Thanks for any help. ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the WebMessaging system at mandala-designs.com

I have a new install of Mailman and just created my first list. One problem I've found is that when I click on Go to list archives, I get taken to a page that doesn't exist. What do I need to do to fix this? Alex

bounce log: couldn't get list lock; endless queue
by NOW Website Coordinator 27 Mar '03

27 Mar '03

Mailman seems to still be processing bounces from a mailing we sent out. It's taking forever (days) and all unsubscribe/subscribe requests are piling up. When I look at the bounce log, it says: Mar 27 15:41:16 2003 (11742) now-summary: couldn't get list lock Mar 27 15:41:28 2003 (11742) now-summary: couldn't get list lock Mar 27 15:41:38 2003 (11742) now-summary: couldn't get list lock Mar 27 15:42:26 2003 (11742) now-summary: couldn't get list lock Mar 27 15:43:15 2003 (11742) now-summary: couldn't get list lock Mar 27 15:44:14 2003 (11742) now-summary: blah(a)blah.com residual bounce received Mar 27 15:44:38 2003 (11742) now-summary: couldn't get list lock Mar 27 15:44:50 2003 (11742) now-summary: couldn't get list lock People trying to interact with the list are finding it timing out. I've restarted it a few times, but to no avail. qfiles/virgin has 10,000 files in it. Every minute it does manage to get something done, like disable a member. Or at least, I'm *just* receiving the email for it. I *just* received this email related to this: bounce:Mar 23 11:57:12 2003 (21655) now-summary: blah(a)blah.com disabling due to bounce score 5.0 >= 5.0 If I change the list settings NOW, will it stop notifying me about these old messages and speed up?

mailman 2.1.1 install question
by Thomas Hillson 27 Mar '03

27 Mar '03

I am helping a friend set up Mailman 2.1.1 on a new RedHat 8.0 server, with Postfix as the MTA. I have only one problem the email goes into the server and goes into the qfiles/in folder but it does not get passed on anywhere. It just sits there. It is accepting email from Postfix, why would it not be passing back out again. thanks, -- --Tom /--------------------------------------------------------- | Tom Hillson Computer Services Manager |(515) 294-1543 College of Agriculture | Iowa State University --------------------------------------------------------- |"The only thing I have too much of is too little time"
