Send to list error
by Brian York 22 May '04

When i try to send to the list i get this error from kmail Sending failed: Message sending failed since the following recipients were rejected by the server: servergroup(a)10.20.1.163 (The server responded: "5.1.2 unknown host or domain: servergroup(a)10.20.1.163") The message will stay in the 'outbox' folder until you either fix the problem (e.g. a broken address) or remove the message from the 'outbox' folder.

MailMan Start/Restart & qrunner
by spdemon6＠optonline.net 22 May '04

22 May '04

I just upgraded to FC2 and hoped to finally get mailman running. Some scripts were off so i downlaoded it from list.org 2.1.5 and it seems to be working except im not sure if it is running or not. This is the following readout: [root@lifeonedge root]# service mailman stop PID unreadable in: /var/mailman/data/master-qrunner.pid [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/mailman/data/master-qrunner.pid' Is qrunner even running? [root@lifeonedge root]# service mailman start Site list is missing: mailman [root@lifeonedge root]# service mailman start Site list is missing: mailman [root@lifeonedge root]# service mailman restart PID unreadable in: /var/mailman/data/master-qrunner.pid [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/mailman/data/master-qrunner.pid' Is qrunner even running? Now qrunner seems to me like a CRON job or some sort. I may be wrong but im not sure what i need to do from here. -Andrew

New to mailman and
by Bob Escher 21 May '04

21 May '04

Hi All I am new to mailman and I am running it with xmail. I finally figured after reading a lot the general setup and was able to set list and users up with no problems I was also able to send a subscribe requests out to users and they were able to send them back. The problem is when I tried and send a message to that list. It disapears. At first before I added that list name as a "user" in xmail I got a 550 error But now it goes out it says (in the logs) it was sent but nothing comes in. Any ideas Thanks Bob Escher

Can Mailman be used as a Newsletter Mailing List?
by Ted Vieira 21 May '04

21 May '04

I'd like to set up a mailinglist that would only be for the purpose of sending out a monthly newsletter. I don't want the subscribers to use the list to send messages, I only want them to subscribe so that they can get the monthly newsletter. Are there settings I can change in Mailman so that the subscribers can only receive, but not send messages to the list?

List seems to be set up but no emails arrive
by Scot Condry 21 May '04

21 May '04

I can set up a list with bin/newlist and even visit the URL and get the configurations. But an email never arrives for the list owner, and any emails to <listname>-subscribe@mydomain never seem to make it (I don't get a response anyway). I am running postfix with Fedora Core 1. Where do I start? I keep searching but haven't found many answers on what to check. I can email to and from with my normal users in fedora just fine. Scot

Please Help! getting rid of MIME
by ARaacing＠aol.com 21 May '04

21 May '04

Please help! I am so frustrated and baffled. I had Mailman working pretty well and now Mailman sends everything in MIME attachments. And it appears that Mailman does not revert after making setting changes. I recorded all my settings and then deleted Mailman and reinstalled it and it went back to working, for the most part. I was trying to fix the below problem (getting rid of the ...next part..HTML attachment was scrubbed message) and changed one setting at a time and then it started send every thing in MIME again, even though I changed the setting back. It seems to be really buggy! How do you strip MIME without access to the hard files? This was installed through CPanel. Now Cpanel will not even let me delete my list so I can start over. Please help! I would be willing to pay someone at this point just to get everything working just right on Mailman. Anyone that is super knowledge about Mailman willing? Best Regards, Michael Johnson ------------------ (Previous unresolved problem) I am attempting to get rid of the below text that shows in email from my Mailman list... ------------next part------------ An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://mail.mylist.com/mailman/private/mylist.com/attachments/.../attachmen… (url is slight shortened) ------------------------------------ I have archives turned off so even if the list user goes to the URL it doesn't show anything. How do you get this NOT to appear in the digest or individual emails from Mailman? Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Using Outlook Express News Reader to view and post messages
by Barbara Manning 20 May '04

20 May '04

I have checked out the FAQs and searched and browsed the archives, and I still need some help setting up Outlook Express so that I can read the posts from a newsgroup. Eudora does not handle threaded messages very well. I belive I need the NNTP (news server) for this list. I've tried all the logical ones and looked in all the logical places without success. Can anyone give me a hand?
