I think I have narrowed down the problem to the list-request(a)server.com alias not working. I copied and pasted the aliases into the /etc/aliases/ file and run newaliases. There should not be anything else needed right? Here are the aliases techtrial: "|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper post techtrial" techtrial-admin: "|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner techtrial" techtrial-request: "|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd techtrial" techtrial-owner: techtrial-admin -----Original Message----- From: Adam Lipson Sent: Friday, May 30, 2003 10:51 AM To: Mailman Subject: [Mailman-Users] subscriber problems users interface vs admininterface If someone subscribes via the web interface they don't show up in the user list. If I add them via the administrative web interface they do show up. Any reason why these two act differently I have not blocked anyone from subscribing and no approval is needed? Also, and I think because of this the users were not getting the email that was sent to the list, but were getting the messages via the news reader via INN. Can anyone explain why this happens?

Quick question about lost addressee
by David.Whitehurst＠iSKY.com May 30, 2003

May 30, 2003

Does anyone know why all of a sudden, I would stop getting mails from my list? I have two accounts and I admin from the second account at comcast.net. For no reason, I stopped getting list mails at the comcast account. I am at work and I get the list mails to this account, but my pop account at comcast has not delivered anything for several days now. Other mails on the pop account work.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Excessive cpu usage
by Arnar Birgisson May 30, 2003

Thanks.. This episode does bring up some thoughts though. My problem was for the most part that I didn't know where to look ("ps aux | grep mail" would have made a good place to start, but that was my fault :o), and the logs didn't give me anything. Failure to contact an smtp server should perhaps be logged in mailman's logfiles, what do you think?

Hi, Mailman lists admin functions have stopped working. - Mailing messages - Adding members - Removing members - Creating new lists [1] Checked db's no errors to report [2] Checked permissions - some issues there, but adjusting them didn't seem to solve the problem. [3] Reinstalled python 2.2.2 - no help [4] Reinstalled mailman 2.1.2 - no help --------------------- ERRORS --------------------- ====> Building new list from command line [./newlist listname] builds list but spits out the following error when sending information to list owner. Traceback (most recent call last): File "./newlist", line 219, in ? main() File "./newlist", line 211, in main text, mlist.preferred_language) File "/mailman/Mailman/Message.py", line 206, in __init__ errors='replace') TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'errors' ====> From command line for ./add_members Traceback (most recent call last): File "/mailman/bin/add_members", line 255, in ? main() File "/mailman/bin/add_members", line 235, in main addall(mlist, nmembers, 0, send_welcome_msg, s) File "/mailman/bin/add_members", line 135, in addall mlist.ApprovedAddMember(userdesc, ack, 0) File "/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 902, in ApprovedAddMember digest, text) File "/mailman/Mailman/Deliverer.py", line 78, in SendSubscribeAck text, pluser) File "/mailman/Mailman/Message.py", line 206, in __init__ errors='replace') TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'errors' ====> for ./remove_members Traceback (most recent call last): File "/mailman/scripts/driver", line 87, in run_main main() File "/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py", line 169, in main change_options(mlist, category, subcat, cgidata, doc) File "/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py", line 1354, in change_options mlist.ApprovedDeleteMember(user) File "/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 944, in ApprovedDeleteMember self.SendUnsubscribeAck(emailaddr, userlang) File "/mailman/Mailman/Deliverer.py", line 87, in SendUnsubscribeAck Utils.wrap(self.goodbye_msg), lang) File "/mailman/Mailman/Message.py", line 206, in __init__ errors='replace') TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'errors' ====> Saving options via GUI work ====> Sending mail to all my lists works --------------------- RESULTS & ASSUMPTIONS --------------------- The theme here seems to be the following : __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'errors' I've searched for this error in the archives and nothing has revieled itself. A look on Goggle turned me towards /mailman/pythonlib/email/ and the assumption that the execution of the above admin functions are being killed when the email messaging system is called. The last update to my Linux box was curl-7.10.5 could this be an issue? But that was weeks ago and this problem just started now. Thanks for your time, Cary Newfeldt.
