I'm sorry for the newbie question, but I've only been able find closely related answer to this question in the sourceforge bug tracker [875971]that contains a patch , - hostname = mm_cfg.DEFAULT_HOST_NAME or mm_cfg.DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST + hostname = mm_cfg.DEFAULT_URL_HOST or mm_cfg.DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and I'm not sure this is correct for me since I've installed the port (2.1.4 which contains a couple of patches). When I attempt to update the host_name variable from the http://my.domain.com/… [View More]

I just double checked and it works fine on all my sites... Do you have any lists with "=" in the name? If that is the case, then you would need to modify the first line and add in an additional cut: SIZ=`grep -i "post to $i" $POST |grep success |cut -f2- -d, | \ cut -f2 -d= |cut -f1 -d,` k=0; for j in $SIZ; do k=$(( j + k )); done echo " Total bytes" = $k >> $TMPFILE This additional cut will remove the listname from the line before using the "=" to isolate the size of the … [View More]message If that doesn't do it for you, then drop a copy of your post log and the name of the list with the problems and I'll see what needs to be modified.

Do you run the "cron/disabled" script to send notifications to users that have been disabled by bounces? When all of those notifications are used up, the user can be deleted. > Any pointers to figure out where these folks went would be great. What does mailman's "subscribe" (and "bounce") log say?

Massive Reduction in Subscribers?
by Hunter Hillegas May 1, 2004

May 1, 2004

I got a report from a list owner for a list we host... He says his list membership count went from 32,000 to 25,000 'over a couple of days'. He obviously thinks this is strange... Of course, it is possible that a lot of people simply unsubscribed. I guess it could also be something else... Do bounces ever cause unsubscription, not just blocking? Would there be something else? It does seem strange to lose that many members so quickly. Any pointers to figure out where these folks went would be great. Cheers, Hunter

After making changes to Defaults.py and/or mm_cfg.py do I need to restart/flush anything? Changes don't seem to be taking effect right away. -- Eric P. Sunnyvale, CA
