Mailman 3 February 2004 - Mailman-Users

Two quick questions.
by Lawrence Lam Feb. 26, 2004

Feb. 26, 2004

My first post here. I tried to search the archives but it seems that the website is retarded. (1) How do I delete MailMan archives (using SSH)? (2) What is this for under "Membership Management". "Set everyone's moderation bit, including those members not currently visible" - Yes/No ----- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

list disappeared from Mailing Lists page
by Gamaiel Zavala Feb. 26, 2004

Feb. 26, 2004

I just had a list disappear from the main Mailing Lists page (http://mydomain/mailman/listinfo). The list itself still exists and all subpages are still accessible. Is there a way to edit/rebuild this page? I'm using version 2.0.11.

Local Server URL Settings
by Josh Davison Feb. 26, 2004

Feb. 26, 2004

I have a weird issue with my Mailman installation. I have my mm_cfg.py settings as follows: DEFAULT_URL = 'http://host.domain.com/cgi-bin/mailman/' DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'host.domain.com' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'host.domain.com' add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) but URLs on the admindb (and only on admindb) screens turn out to be http://host/cgi-bin/mailman instead of http://host.domain.com/cgi-bin/mailman in spite of the mm_cfg settings. Can anybody clue me in to which … [View More]

mailman does not send E-mails
by Thorsten Brabetz Feb. 26, 2004

Feb. 26, 2004

Hello List, Ok, new to the list, and probably not a good start, since it turns out that I am too stupid to search the list archives. If I go to the page http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users and click on "searchable archives", I get a "time-out" error... So, I am probably asking a question that has been asked probably at least a hundred times in the past, and my apologies in advance, but I still need an answer somehow: I tried to install mailman, and for all I can … [View More]tell successfully since I did not get any error messages at any stage, but it still does not work. Unfortunately, there are only very few hints as to what the problem might be. The best one is probably in mailman/logs/errors, where everytime I execute "./mailmanctl restart" it says: Feb 26 14:00:39 2004 (24372) Warning: unable to setgroups([101, 101]) Assuming it refers to the $prefix directory, I can't however see why: redwolf:/usr/local# ll | grep mailman drwxrwsr-x 20 mailman mailman 1024 Feb 25 14:44 mailman Running mailman/bin/check_perms shows no problems either: redwolf:/usr/local/mailman# bin/check_perms No problems found Other log entries that seem to refer to the problem are in mailman/logs/smtp-failure: Feb 26 14:15:45 2004 (24376) Low level smtp error: host not found, msgid: None Feb 26 14:15:45 2004 (24376) delivery to mailman-owner (at) redwolf.org.uk failed with code -1: host not found Feb 26 14:15:45 2004 (24376) Low level smtp error: host not found, msgid: <mailman.0.1077753904.16057.test7 (at) redwolf.org.uk> Feb 26 14:15:45 2004 (24376) delivery to webmaster (at) brabetz.de failed with code -1: host not found Feb 26 14:15:45 2004 (24376) Low level smtp error: host not found, msgid: <mailman.0.1077755635.15842.mailman (at) redwolf.org.uk> Feb 26 14:15:45 2004 (24376) delivery to webmaster (at) brabetz.de failed with code -1: host not found (there are literally thousands of these entries, they are referring to test messages that I have sent to test lists) However, if I "su mailman", I can mail no problems to any E-mail account locally or remote, including those that the error messages refer to, e.g. webmaster (at) brabetz.de, and I have tried quite a few. MTA is exim (in the log entry above, I have replaced the @ with (at) to make it at least a tiny bit harder for spammers to harvest my E-mail address). Install is on a Debian system, but I did not use apt-get, but instead downloaded the source code and used "./configure ; make install". Mailman user is mailman, mailman group is mailman. mailman is a member of group mailman, and only the group mailman. I have been through all FAQs and README files I could find for two days now, without finding even as much as a hint to what the problem might be, and have reached that stage where I would really appreciate *any* hint as to where to start looking for it. Thank you in advance for any prospective advice! Best wishes Thorsten [View Less]

How to change confimation-message Subject?
by Hauke Meyer Feb. 26, 2004

Feb. 26, 2004

Hello folks, I think its trivial or FAQ. But these confirmation-messages got a nasty Subject ala "confirm 492724b6c476abf9e8a49555dad65757395exxxx". I know some lists, where it is changed. BUT where to change it? Just because some Contentfilters in this world don´t like the "original"... Greets Hauke

X-Mailman-Version header still "2.1.2" after 2.1.4 upgrade?
by Steve Linberg Feb. 26, 2004

Feb. 26, 2004

Hi everyone. I just upgraded my 2.1.2 installation to 2.1.4 with the ./configure && make && make install method. The web pages all say 2.1.4 in the footer, and the system seems to be functioning fine, but the X-Mailman-Version header in messages from the server still say 2.1.2. Is this an error, or is it possible I did something wrong in the upgrade? What should I be looking for? Thanks for any tips, Steve Linberg -- Steve Linberg, Chief Goblin Silicon Goblin … [View More]

Content filtering
by Szilard Vizi Feb. 26, 2004

Feb. 26, 2004

Hello, I want to use the Mailman's content filtering option to remove pictures from any message and put a link in the message where the pictures are. I couldn't find the right solution so far, and I don't want to play with a real list, so can anyone tell me what options do I need to change. Secondly anyone has an idea how to make a similiar feature that Sympa has and called "Shared web". Basically this is folder inside the archive of the list, to where the users can upload and from download … [View More]

isolating subscribers with Name provided
by E Publisher Feb. 26, 2004

Feb. 26, 2004

Oh boy, one of our administrators made a big mistake and thought they were changing subscribers email addresses by entering the new address into the Name field (which sits underneath each subscriber's email address in the Membership List screen). So now, we've got about 200 incorrect subscriptions that need to be found and fixed. There's no record of the ones that were changed this way so we can't easily find and fix them. All other subscribers have empty Name fields, so I was wondering if … [View More]

Problems with check_perm and NetApp filers...
by Pug Bainter Feb. 25, 2004

Feb. 25, 2004

Good Morning, Today I finally started upgrading from 2.1.2 to 2.1.4 on a corporate departmental server. When I did this I changed one minor thing and check_perm definitely didn't like it. - Previous config /tool/mailman -> NetApp filesystem /.package/mailman-2.x.x -> Different versions /archives /data /lists /locks /logs /qfiles /spam Each version would symlink the "… [View More]
