How can list admin unsubscribe user via email?
by Rick Maddy July 2, 2004

July 2, 2004

I need a way for a list admin or moderator to be able to unsubscribe a user from the list via an email interface. I don't want the user to get a confirmation page first, just the notice that they have been unsubscribed. I'm sending this email from a Java program. I've tried sending the email from the person I'm trying to unsubscribe to list-unsubscribe(a)host.com - this results in the user getting the confirmation - not what I want. I've tried sending the email as the admin to list-request(a)… [View More]

mailman and courier
by fmouse-mailman＠fmp.com July 2, 2004

July 2, 2004

I'm using mailman as a list server with courier as my MTA. The mailman user is in /etc/passwd as belonging to primary group 'mailman'. Mailman is compiled with --with-mail-gid set to the group of the mail user. This is set to 'courier' which works for most purposes, both posting and handling bounces from list posts. The one exception to this is the monthly password reminder postings which go out with an address of "mailman-bounces+<VERP address>@bailey.fmp.com" as the envelope … [View More]

I am a mailman neophyte who is trying to use mailman on Mac OS X Server (10.3.4). Everything was working well until this morning when I got the following e-mail message. On Jul 1, 2004, at 9:00 AM, mailman-owner(a)math.vassar.edu wrote: > As list administrator, your authorization is requested for the > following mailing list posting: > > List: Mailman(a)math.vassar.edu > From: mailman(a)math.vassar.edu > Subject: Cron <mailman@math> /usr/bin/… [View More]python -S > /usr/share/mailman/cron/disabled > Reason: Post by non-member to a members-only list > > At your convenience, visit: > > http://math.vassar.edu/mailman/admindb/mailman > > to approve or deny the request. > > From: mailman(a)math.vassar.edu (Cron Daemon) > Date: July 1, 2004 9:00:01 AM EDT > To: mailman(a)math.vassar.edu > Subject: Cron <mailman@math> /usr/bin/python -S > /usr/share/mailman/cron/disabled > > > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/share/mailman/cron/disabled", line 209, in ? > main() > File "/usr/share/mailman/cron/disabled", line 202, in main > mlist.Save() > File "/usr/share/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 515, in Save > self.__save(dict) > File "/usr/share/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 487, in __save > os.unlink(fname_last) > OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: > '/private/var/mailman/lists/boardconfidential/config.pck.last' > > > > From: mailman-request(a)math.vassar.edu > Subject: confirm b9c1ca65ffe21fe79d376ba3a7b21dfd3b785ae3 > > > If you reply to this message, keeping the Subject: header intact, > Mailman will discard the held message.

The Approved: header can also appear in the first line > of the body of the reply. Attempting to visit http://math.vassar.edu/mailman/admindb/mailman and typing in the password leads to an error. Attempting to login to the admin page for the mailman list or the boardconfidential list leads to errors as well: > Traceback: > > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/share/mailman/scripts/driver", line 87, in run_main > main() > File "/usr/share/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py", line 194, in main > mlist.Save() > File "/usr/share/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 515, in Save > self.__save(dict) > File "/usr/share/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 487, in __save > os.unlink(fname_last) > OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: > '/private/var/mailman/lists/boardconfidential/config.pck.last' Can someone give me a clue as to what's going wrong and what I need to do to fix it? Thanks thanks thanks!!! -Ben [View Less]

Is there a command I can run that will quickly tell me the name of each list on a server AND the number of members in that list? If not, what's the quickest way to check list membership totals? Thanks -Brendan
