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.

Character encoding problems with digest option
by Guillaume Rousse 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

Hello. I'm managing several mailing list with mailman 2.1.2, but one of them is especially problematic, since some users use exotics charset such as utf-8. As a matter a consequence, it frequently breaks with this message in the logs: Aug 31 22:03:16 2003 (12355) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 105, in _oneloop self._onefile(msg, msgdata) File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 155, in _onefile keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/ArchRunner.py", line 73, in _dispose mlist.ArchiveMail(msg) File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 206, in ArchiveMail h.processUnixMailbox(f) File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/pipermail.py", line 544, in processUnixMailbox m = mbox.next() File "/usr/lib/python2.2/mailbox.py", line 33, in next return self.factory(_Subfile(self.fp, start, stop)) File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Mailbox.py", line 89, in scrubber return mailbox.scrub(msg) File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Mailbox.py", line 109, in scrub return self._scrubber(self._mlist, msg) File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py", line 316, in process t = unicode(t, 'ascii', 'replace').encode('ascii') UnicodeError: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range(128) Searching through the list archive, i found this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg17270.html So i applied the patch found at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=670167&group_id=103&atid=30… i added add_language('en', 'English', 'iso-8859-1') to mm_cfg.py and followed the instruction given: - restart mailman - remove digest.mbox - unshunt This worked several times already, but this time it seems to be unefficient. Running unshunt trigger the error, even after restarting mailman and check diget.mbxo didn't existed. Turning ogg digest is an option, however some users are subscribed this way, so i have no way of reaching them to prevent of the policy change.

Problem with qrunner OutgoingRunner
by Charles Gagnon 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

I've just upgraded my Mailman installation from a 2.0.x to a 2.1.2 on a Solaris 8 server using Python 2.2.2. And I think I have a problem with the OutgoingRunner but I can't put my finger on it. Here a the symtoms: 1. After I start mailman, the mailmanctl never exits. I can still see it in the process table. 2. The "mailmanctl stop" command stops everything but NOT the OutgoingRunner. I have to kill that one manually. 3. If I send subscription requests (email or web), I see them pending in logs/subscribe. I see a new file get created in qfiles/out. But nothing gets out. I never get the confirmation message. 4. I see no errors in logs/smtp-failure or any other files that would help me put my finger on the problem. Any ideas? -- Charles Gagnon | My views are my views and they http://unixrealm.com | do not represent those of anybody charlesg at unixrealm.com | but me.
