Upgrade hell (Debian)
by Deirdre Saoirse Moen 05 Jan '05

05 Jan '05

Upgrade script broke (not the first time). from Mailman import MailList from Mailman.LockFile import TimeOutError from Mailman.i18n import _ I'm getting error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/update", line 51, in ? from Mailman.i18n import _ ImportError: No module named i18n It doesn't balk on the line before, so it doesn't seem to be a path issue. When I comment that line out (for grins), it balks on: from Mailman.Queue.Switchboard import Switchboard from Mailman import OldStyleMemberships from Mailman.MemberAdaptor import BYBOUNCE, ENABLED Any clues? -- _Deirdre http://deirdre.net "Cannot run out of time.

security on an announce-only list
by Jeroen Valcke 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

Hello, I created an announce-only list. To do this in 'Privacy section' I set the moderation on, the poster receives a rejection notice which explains that this is an announce-only list. In 'membership management' I disabled moderation for people who should be able to send msgs to the list. There is however a potential problem with this approach. Suppose that the pc of one of these authorized posters gets infected with a virus. The virus could propagate on the list. Or somebody could pretend to be an authorized posters by spoofing the from address and the msg would be distributed on the list. I would like to activate an alternate moderation action for the members who are allowed to post to the list. However I don't immediately see a way to implement this. Any ideas? How are you handling this? Thanks in advance, Best regards, -Jeroen- -- Jeroen Valcke sst(a)belnet.be jeroen.valcke(a)belnet.be

Question About List subscription.
by multimedia-fan＠myrealbox.com 16 Jul '03

16 Jul '03

Installed Mailman, and everything so far looks OK. One thing that is bothering me, and I have seen this on lists that I subscribed to in the past that were using Mailman. Upon going to the list info page and signing up using a an email and password, the request is taking forever to be sent to the list admin and the confirmation sent to the user, is there some setting that I can change somewhere to have that done immediately? Sorry if I missed that in the documentation or the FAQ, I can't seem to find this. Thank you.

Too many pending requests?
by Per Starback 07 Jul '03

07 Jul '03

I can't get to the pending request page for a mailing list. (My web clients just say "waiting for response" and finally give up.) I think it is because there are too many pending requests after some problems. (config.db is almost 10MB.) How can I do this some other way?

Post approval
by Phil Stracchino 02 Jul '03

02 Jul '03

I'm running Mailman-2.1.1. I have a message to one of my closed lists from a non-member that I want to approve. It's less than an hour old, and the confirmation request is sitting in my mailbox this very moment. Problem is, (1) it doesn't show up on the list's admindb page, (2) if I try to approve it via email, MailMan tells me the confirmation string is invalid or has expired. Any suggestions, anyone? -- .********* Fight Back!
