alias problem
by nikos May 4, 2004

May 4, 2004

I create a list and it seems to work fine, exept that all mail from users going only to root user. I believe it is an alias problem. Can somebody help me please? #alias my-list: postmaster my-list-owner: mailman my-list-admin: "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman admin my-list" my-list-bounces: "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman bounces my-list" my-list-confirm: "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman confirm my-list" my-list-join: "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman join my-list" my-list-leave: "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman leave my-list" my-list-request: "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman request my-list" my-list-subscribe: "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe my-list" my-list-unsubscribe: "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe my-list" mailman-2.1.1-5.i386 on RH9 linux with python-2.2.2-26 Thanx

qrunner lockup / mass moderation
by Stephan Uhlmann May 4, 2004

May 4, 2004

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, since a few days I have the following problem: The qrunner locks up (strace output repeats and repeats as if the process is caught in an endless loop) and uses 100% of my CPU. The lock-files are dated in the future (but I have a ntp synched clock). The only qrunner log file (which is not dated in the future) keeps saying "Could not acquire qrunner lock". What could be the problem? I have two lists with a relatively large amount of messages in the moderation queue (800+ and 1100+). Maybe the queue runner needs more and more time to process these? The messages are all spam and can be thrown away, but I just can't delete them by the browser admin interface. This would take too much time. Is there another way to do such mass moderation? I tried to move away the files in the data/ directory but then Mailman complains about missing them, so I guess I have to do it the "Mailman way" to keep everything consistent. Maybe with the "withlist" tool? In the archives I found this message: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2000-January/003419.html but the link there points to the Mailman documentation which does not have such a script (anymore). I run Mailman 2.0.13 and Python 2.1.1. Yes, I know this is a pretty old setup but I can't upgrade right now.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Administrate list via HTML?
by Sean Robertson May 4, 2004

I need to be able to send the commands from a PHP script. There is no way that I know of to handle the login and execute commends on the HTML pages from a PHP script. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Young, Darren" <Darren.Young(a)gsb.uchicago.edu> To: "Sean Robertson" <webolutionary(a)webolutionary.com> Sent: Monday, May 03, 2004 4:53 PM Subject: RE: [Mailman-Users] Administrate list via HTML? What about the mailman HTML interface that comes with? They have it disabled? -----Original Message----- From: mailman-users-bounces(a)python.org [mailto:mailman-users-bounces@python.org] On Behalf Of Sean Robertson Sent: Monday, May 03, 2004 3:51 PM To: mailman-users(a)python.org Subject: [Mailman-Users] Administrate list via HTML? I asked this question earlier, but I don't think I ever got a reply (can't seem to find it at any rate). The list I administrate is located on another server, which I do not have SSH access to. The problem, however, is that I need some way to administer the list that can be executed via a PHP script. Is there any kind of email interface to MailMan's admin functions? I can very easily generate an email with commands in it (already doing that to subscribe users), but I need access to some admin functions as well. Am I just SOL? This is becoming a more urgent matter with each passing day, so any assistance you could provide would be _greatly_ appreciated. Thanks.

Problems with mailman migration
by Martin Oehler May 4, 2004

May 4, 2004

Hi! I run into problems migrating an old installation of mailman into a current one. I've got the old installation of mailman (2.0.13) residing at /home/mailman. The mails should be moved to /var/lib/mailman where I installed the current package (2.1.4, debian testing/unstable). I already tried the method explained in http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/msg11052.html but the script described in this mail threw lots of errors and the result didn't work. A newer method I found wasn't practicable because the new mailman version doesn't provide a move_list script. At the moment, I'm using the current binaries and config.db's in /var/lib/mailman but the configurations point to /home/mailman (where the archives grow). My setup is really messed up, I know. :( Could someone point me in the right direction where to find documentation for moving/upgrading my lists? Thanks in advance, Martin Öhler -- http://www.linuxtag.org

dynamic subject line
by gabor May 4, 2004

May 4, 2004

hi, is there a way to adjust the subject line dynamically... what i'd like to do: when mailman gets a mail for a given mailing list, it checks the subject line, and if it's "#", then replaces it with "#<current-week>"... that means it replaces it with something like "#`date +%W`". is there a way to do this? gabor

I want to set up an announce only list and I have fixed the HTML in the public info pages so that the "To post a message to this list..." message is gone. How can I do that in the confirmation e-mail that gets sent to subscribers? Thanks, Ed http://www.melendez.org

Member receiving digests and individual mail
by Jen Crawford May 4, 2004

May 4, 2004

Hi, I've recently begun a list using Mailman. One of my members has complained that she's being sent individual mail as well as digests, despite having selected digests. She also says she's getting duplicates as well, though she's selected 'no dupes'. I've checked her options and they're fine, so in the meantime I've suggested she unsubscribe and resubscribe. Is there any reason this could be happening? Thanks, Jen
