I'm trying to manually start mailman by typing the following command (while in the /usr/local/mailman directory) bin/mailmanctl start I get the following error: Site list is missing: mailman Also, when I try to get to any of the cgi's in the cgi-bin directory through my web browser I keep getting: Bug in Mailman version 2.1.5 We're sorry, we hit a bug! ... Traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/mailman/scripts/driver", line 63, in run_main from Mailman.… [View More]

8 Processes - is this normal for Mailman?
by ½Bî¶ §ºµth£Ñ½ Oct. 28, 2004

Oct. 28, 2004

Hi, I am running mailman, and I noticed when I type "top" to see system processes, I see 8 instances of the user "mailman" running "python". Is this normal? Why 8 times?

Mailman traffic bouncing with "User Unknown"
by Bob Richards Oct. 28, 2004

Oct. 28, 2004

Hi: I am running Mailman 2.1.5, and all has been perfect for some time now. One of our list members just moved to a new ISP, so we changed his address. Now all list traffic to him bounces with "user Unknown" errors. His ISP is using EXIM. I can send him email, he can reply, I can even send him BCC mail with priority:List set and it arrives OK. ONLY Mailman traffic addressed to the very same address bounces. Anyone seen this? Anyone resolved this? Any Ideas?? TIA Bob -- . Bob Richards … [View More]

Script to check address subscription status
by Florian Weimer Oct. 28, 2004

Oct. 28, 2004

Is there some script to check for subscription status (or, more precisely, the permission to post)? find_member is almost what I need, but it uses a regular expression, doesn't check just a specified mailing list, and doesn't look at the additional poster list. (I'm trying to reject posts from non-subscribers at the SMTP level, that's why I need a simple way to check if a sender may post to a list.)

list administrivia
by Dave Stern - Former Rocket Scientist Oct. 27, 2004

Oct. 27, 2004

How does one add the header ^X-List-Administrivia: yes to mailman stuff that's clearly administrative? Does this mean anything NOT to the list (eg a non-member trying to post to a members-only list, stuff to <listname>-admin, etc) gets this header? Will this work in mm2.0.X also or is this just a 2.1 feature? Forgive me if this is in the faq/searchable archives. Either I couldn't find it or my eyesight is showing its age. TIA, Maria ;) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- generated by /dev/dave … [View More]

per-user subject prefix
by Kenneth Porter Oct. 27, 2004

Oct. 27, 2004

Is there a way to enable/disable subject prefix (like the "[mailman-users]" on this list) on a per-user basis? I like NOT having the prefix, as it reduces the available space for content in the subject. But I get users using web-based mail readers and those who can't use their client's filters who want the decoration. What's an admin to do? I'm using 2.1.5 on Fedora Core 2. ... Just found in the FAQ something to enable message personalization: <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.… [View More]

who command send by email does not retrieve the whole members list
by HIS - Fran Oct. 27, 2004

Oct. 27, 2004

I send a who command by email to one of the lists we host, and it returned only 16 of the ~6000 email addresses of the list. Any idea why this can happen? we use Mailman version 2.1.3 on FreeBSD Unix FreeBSD 4.10 and sendmail /Fran the message I got back looked like this: The results of your email command are provided below. Attached is your original message. - Results: Ignoring non-text/plain MIME parts Non-digest (regular) members: ... skipping list of 16 email addresses - Done.

authenticating messages
by Brian Sammon Oct. 27, 2004

Oct. 27, 2004

How does mailman authenticate messages to verify that the sender is a member of the list? Does it use the From header, the Sender header, or the SMTP envelope? Is this configurable?

Mailman 2.1.5 - Customize Look and Feel
by Stephanie Rotter Oct. 27, 2004

Oct. 27, 2004

Is someone who successfully edited the python code to customize the look of Mailman willing to post their code changes? I have never coded in python and my first (lame) attempts to follow Russell Mann's directions have failed. I am trying to also add a standard header to my installation of Mailman and am left with several user end pages with no header. Thanks for the help.
