Hi Jim, > It sounds like the connection between the mail server and Mailman on > the Linux server is not set up correctly. If you send the mail from > your Linux account, do you get the same error? I get the same error no matter where I send the message from. From gmail, I get this: Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently: test(a)email.winnefox.org Technical details of failure: PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 10): 550 <test(a)email.winnefox.org>: User … [View More]

Not able to send messages to lists I've setup
by Jody Cleveland Dec. 3, 2004

Dec. 3, 2004

Hello, I've got the latest version of Mailman running on a redhat 3.0as server. When mail comes in, the redhat handles it with MailScanner coupled with spamassassin and f-prot. Then, that machine forwards it on to our exchange 5.5 machine. I've got mailman running fine. It installed ok, I can create lists using the command line, and the web site. I can also subscribe to lists using the website. The problem comes in when I try to post messages to the list I subscribe to. I get a Undeliverable … [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] Unknown user- what am I missing?

I think I'll test it out on some other email addresses to make sure it isn't my fault. The speakeasy server is of no relation to my server... Speakeasy just happens to be my ISP and I have an email address with them, so I was using it to test. I wonder why it wouldn't accept mail. Could it be because my server is currently running on a no-ip domain? Speakeasy offers serverside spam filtering which I've turned off, so I don't think that would be a problem. And both gmail and hotmail accept, … [View More]

Group name "mailman" doesn't exist

Dec. 3, 2004

I'm trying to get mailman up and running on my Gentoo box alongside postfix but I can't seem to get over this final hurdle. Here is what I get in my log when I try sending a message to one of my lists: === BEGIN LOG === Dec 1 15:47:28 jupiter2 postfix/smtpd[19851]: 70D562C82A1: client=unknown[192.168.1.61] Dec 1 15:47:28 jupiter2 postfix/cleanup[19808]: 70D562C82A1: message-id=<41AE4C1E.2080005(a)atmreports.com> Dec 1 15:47:28 jupiter2 postfix/qmgr[1027]: 70D562C82A1: from=<… [View More]

Footer as attachment
by Bruce N. Audie Dec. 3, 2004

Dec. 3, 2004

Why does the footer text that I have entered in "Footer added to every digest " show up as an attachment to about half the postings. Even when multiple subscribers are responding to the same thread.. some will have the footer inserted at the end of the message and others will have a text file attachment containing the footer info.

Thanks for the detailed info. I figured MXes were something like that. I ran the same command as you did, dig speakeasy.net. mx, and I got an output similar to yours. Still, I'm getting the same message in my maillog... Speakeasy.net is bouncing. If it was being bounced back by Speakeasy servers since the email isn't right, I would expect the maillog entry to at least have a speakeasy relay. I know for sure that the speakeasy email address is correct. I can get regular email on it. Since … [View More]

converted 2.0 moderated to 2.1.5
by Dave Stern - Former Rocket Scientist Dec. 2, 2004

Dec. 2, 2004

I'm converting a few dozen lists from an older install (2.1.12) to 2.1.5 and came across an interesting bug. We have some lists that were moderated in the old style of 2.0 ie restrict-post-to-members was set to NO and "special people" were added to the Addresses-of-members-accepted-for-posting-to-this-list-without-implicit- approval window. After copying everything across as detailed in the archives and running withlist and genaliases on the new server, I noted that the lists was not set up … [View More]as moderated and I had to do it manually. * Is this a bug? feature? Is there a way around it? * Alternatively, is there a relatively painless way to at least identify such lists on the 2.0.12 side for manual conversion? (I'm guessing probably dumpdb and some snazzy grepping. Since this will cross lines and thus be a bit of a pain to script) * BTW, the instructions for web redirections are flawed as the pattern- match is not specific enough: If you move over a list called, "mine" but leave a list called "mine-friends", guess what happens to the web page redirection for the latter... The way I've converted lists was: -----------------------On old listserver---------------------- /fs/mailman/bin/list_lists | awk '{print $1}' |tail +2 \ | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' | while read LISTNAME do scp -r /fs/mailman/lists/$LISTNAME root@newserver:/fs/mailman2/lists scp -r /fs/mailman/archives/private/$LISTNAME \ root@newserver:/fs/mailman2/archives/private scp -r /fs/mailman/archives/private/$LISTNAME.mbox \ root@newserver:/fs/mailman2/archives/private scp -r /fs/mailman/archives/public/$LISTNAME \ root@newserver:/fs/mailman2/archives/public scp -r /fs/mailman/archives/public/$LISTNAME.mbox \ root@newserver:/fs/mailman2/archives/public done scp /fs/mailman/tools/all-lists root@newlistserver:/fs/mailman2/tools ssh root$newlistserver /fs/mailman2/tools/move-all ------------------On new listserver, move-all----------------- #ya, ya, no comments about useless cat awards, I know better, I'm lazy cat /fs/mailman2/tools/all-lists| while read LISTNAME do /fs/mailman2/bin/withlist -l -r fix_url $LISTNAME cp /fs/mailman2/tools/request.pck /fs/mailman2/lists/$LISTNAME chown -R mailman:mailman /fs/mailman2/archives/private/$LISTNAME chown -R mailman:mailman /fs/mailman2/archives/public/$LISTNAME chown mailman /fs/mailman2/lists/$LISTNAME done /fs/mailman2/bin/genaliases >/tmp/newalias.txt echo "Append appropriate pieces of /tmp/newalias.txt to /fs/lists2/aliases" Suggestions?

A Simple Question about Duplicate E-mails
by Andrew Gendreau Dec. 2, 2004

Dec. 2, 2004

Hi, I just setup a mailman server and it is working very well with the exception of one thing. Only one of the 50 something people on the list is receiving duplicate e-mails. I am sure that he is not on the list twice, I am also sure that options for him such as "nodupes" are set and that Receive Duplicate E-mails is set to no. This isn't a problem whereby he receives two when someone replies to the list, but rather he receives two whenever anyone posts anything to the list for the … [View More]

sending mail to members in batches
by Darryl Hamilton Dec. 2, 2004

Dec. 2, 2004

Hi I'm wondering if there is a setting in mailman to send mail out to members of a list in batches - for example send 100, wait 30 seconds, send to the next 100, wait 30 seconds, and so on. The problem is we've got a list with 1000+ members, but there is a per-hour outgoing mail limit of 600 (and we'd rather not change it). This is a cPanel install (and from what I've heard, they distribute a custom version of mailman), but they don't have any settings I can change. I've seen the Exim tweaks … [View More]
