I do have that setting. doesn't seem to make a difference. I don't think postfix refusing e-mail to the list is related to that, but I may be wrong. I'm not even sure what doesn't it like, since portmap can resolve that address.

postfix and solaris
by Lenny 10 May '04

10 May '04

I'm struggling to get combination for solaris, postfix and mailman working together. I can create the lists and play with the fancy web gui. I can send e-mail to the list from the local box, but that doesn't go anywhere. The log says - (delivered to command:/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post test) but nothing else happens with that message. If I send e-mail to the list from a remote machine, I get "user unknown" error. The mailman log gives Low level smtp error: (146, 'Connection refused') python -c'import os; print os.getgid()' - returns 1, which is other. I tried mail-gid as postdrop, mailman, nobody and other, and all the same by corresponding gids and in some cases I got gid wrapper errors. Rigth now it's built with mail-gid=1 and I don't get that error, but nothing works. The aliases in postfix config point to - dbm:/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases and postmap seems to be resolving the list names: postmap -q test /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post test" hostname What am I still doing wrong ? thank you all in advance.

Pop up

Does anyone know how to either prevent the subscription-confirm window from popping up and just confirming the subscriber once they click on the confirmation link, or how to edit the html of the page that pops up? I am sorry to ask this more than once but I am new to the system and don't know any programming, just html. So people's answers so far have been cryptic, at least to me. Thanks! Jonathan

Question?
by Rick Sipes 09 May '04

09 May '04

I'm so very sorry to trouble you but I'm unable to figure out something on our Mailman 2.1.4 list server. I'm not a technical person, and I've tried my best to find the information within the help and docs, but I'm just stumped. Sometimes, when a posting goes out over a list, recipients see the following ... -----Original Message----- From: listname-bounces(a)listserv.utmem.edu [mailto:listname-bounces@listserv.utmem.edu]On Behalf Of Rick Sipes Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2004 10:55 AM To: listname(a)listserv.utmem.edu Subject: [owners] Blah Blah Blah ... What I'm talking about is instead of seeing it from me (rsipes(a)utmem.edu) for example, some, but not all of the recipients see it coming from *-bounces(a)listserv.utmem.edu . I have bounce processing turned off for the list. The messages do get delivered, and other than confusion, it is working. I love the software. We run it on a Red Hat Linux box for our small campus here in Memphis. It has about 135 lists on it. Anyway, thanks for any help you can point me toward!!!

return-path and virtual domains
by Heiner Lamprecht 09 May '04

09 May '04

Hi, I'm fighting a little bit with MM and virtual domains. I use postfix as MTA, the mailaddresses are stored in a MySQL-DB. Let's say, I have two domains: a.tdl and b.tdl, where a.tdl is the real name of the server. Using the scripts written by Martin Müller (http://www.web-cyradm.org/pipermail/web-cyradm/2003-April/000918.html), I have created a list "list(a)b.tdl". The address of the list is an alias to "b.tdl-list(a)a.tdl". When I post to the latter, everything works fine. But if I post to the desired address "list(a)b.tdl", the messages first were being hold for approval by the moderator. So I added this address to the acceptable_aliases. Okay, now I can post to this address, but the real name "b.tdl-list(a)a.tdl" is used as the return-path further on. Is there any way to completely hide the real address to the user?

Weird error after upgrade
by Michael Mansour 08 May '04

08 May '04

Hi, I've recently performed an upgrade from 2.0.13 to 2.1.4, all list and such were migrated fine. I run Fedora Core 1. When I try to start the service, I get the following error: # service mailman start Site list is missing: mailman and the mailmanctl process doesn't exist. Going through the startup script it shows the following command is run on startup: # /var/mailman/bin/mailmanctl -s -q start So running that manually also produces the following error: Site list is missing: mailman Any ideas what this means? and how I can fix it? Thanks. Michael.

Is there any to make auto-discard notification work quietly? I just don't want scores of email telling me posts by non-subscribers have been discarded. -- John
