List not responding
by Chronos Admin July 1, 2004

July 1, 2004

One of my lists has stopped responding. I can't access it via the web (when I try to log-in it eventually times out). My other lists are still accessible from the web. I've tried stopping and starting mailmanctl, restarting sendmail, and gone as far as restarting the virtual server. I believe the problem started last night when Mailman attempted to sendout the monthly password reminder. One of the times I started mailmanctl I received the following errors: chronos2 /usr/local/mailman/bin# ./mailmanctl start Starting Mailman's master qrunner. chronos2 /usr/local/mailman/bin# Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 547, in ? main() File "/usr/local/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 429, in main kids = start_all_runners() File "/usr/local/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 267, in start_all_runners pid = start_runner(qrname, slice, count) File "/usr/local/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 245, in start_runner pid = os.fork() OSError: [Errno 35] Resource temporarily unavailable Then another time: Starting Mailman's master qrunner. chronos2 /usr/local/mailman/bin# Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner", line 270, in ? main() File "/usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner", line 230, in main qrunner.run() File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 70, in run filecnt = self._oneloop() File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 99, in _oneloop msg, msgdata = self._switchboard.dequeue(filebase) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Switchboard.py", line 143, in dequeue fp = open(filename) IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/mailman/qfiles/commands/1088684958.8021281+92739f63570de338e869b e2dda01000f8f833328.pck' Any suggestions? -Adam

Does anyone know offhand if Mailman can be installed on a remote shared hosting account running on Win2K? I have a web host whose mailing list offerings are pretty lame. Thanks, Tracey

bounced messages and VERP ??
by Yogesh Subhash Talekar July 1, 2004

July 1, 2004

hi, I am using mailman with postfix. While testing mailman I created a list with two address. Both had same domain say "mydomain.com". When all was working fine, mailman/postfix used to copy a single mail to both the users. I had a problem with one of the IDs and the mail destined to it bounced few times. Later I fixed it, but found that now mailman (or postfix) has started copying two separate mails to both the users? What has changed? Is this a problem ? I may add more than 3000 users from the same domain and I don't want each user to get a separate copy! Please help/advice?? --yogesh

From Address and non-member posts
by Yogesh Subhash Talekar July 1, 2004

July 1, 2004

hi two questions: 1. When I post to my mailming list the From address comes like "mylist-bounces(a)mydomain.com". Why can't I have the from address as the address of the sender? 2. I want the posts from non-members to go through successfully and without moderation? How to do it from command line? Also, I want to make sure that non-members do not become memebers when they post mails ! Thanks in advance. --yogesh

pl translation fix

Hello, This is small pl translation fix. Without that message from moderator was ugly and causes line break in some MUA. -- pozdr. Paweł Gołaszewski --------------------------------- My jsme borgové. Odpor je marný, budete asimilováni...
