Mailman stopped sending mail
by Rob Hackney Aug. 5, 2004

My Mailman 2.1.1 installation seems to have stopped delivering. I am sending from the box that mailman sits on from an address subscribed in my test list: newsletters(a)lists.routone.co.uk My /etc/postfix/aliases is as follows: > # Basic system aliases -- these MUST be present. > mailer-daemon: postmaster > postmaster: root > > > # Person who should get root's mail > root: robhackney > > > # mailman aliases > mailman: postmaster > mailman-owner: mailman > newsletters: robhackney I have checked the logs and found nothing in bounce/ smtp/ smtp-failure/ post/. I have checked the maillog also and can see the test mail submitted: > Aug 5 10:34:01 simba postfix/smtpd[1744]: connect from > simba.tkcsales.co.uk[192.168.16.14] > Aug 5 10:34:02 simba postfix/smtpd[1744]: 33F0C17877: > client=simba.tkcsales.co.uk[192.168.16.14] > Aug 5 10:34:02 simba postfix/cleanup[1745]: 33F0C17877: > message-id=<4111FF09.90900(a)lists.routeone.co.uk> > Aug 5 10:34:02 simba postfix/nqmgr[651]: 33F0C17877: > from=<newsletters(a)lists.routeone.co.uk>, size=618, nrcpt=1 (queue active) > Aug 5 10:34:02 simba postfix/smtpd[1744]: disconnect from > simba.tkcsales.co.uk[192.168.16.14] > Aug 5 10:34:04 simba postfix/local[1746]: 33F0C17877: > to=<test(a)lists.routeone.co.uk>, relay=local, delay=2, status=sent > ("|/var/mailman/mail/mailman post test") I have restarted mailman and rechecked logs but again nothing. I have worked on 2 things since it stopped working: adding in the mailman aliases into the /etc/postfix aliases file as I saw they were not present. There is no mail in the user mailbox robhackney. Changing my firewall rules but I can send mail from the box to both internal and external addresses. My knowledge doesn't extend any further and I've ran out of ideas. Would someone be able to point me in the right direction? thanks This email is confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual(s) to whom it is addressed.

reliable python 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 backport?
by Jeff Garvas Aug. 5, 2004

Aug. 5, 2004

Hi folks, I've determined that the problems I'm having with Mailman now are related to the fact that I have Python 2.3.2 running in Debian (woody). Moderated messages keep erroring into logs/error about True not being defined. Does anyone here know of any reliable Python 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 backports that I can use in my debian install? I've combed the net looking for this and I have run into brick walls and discussion lists where someone said "there is one available" but never mentioned where. I found something in the wee hours and installed it only to learn that 2.3.2 is just not cutting it. Surely someone on this list has found one if it exists, right? :-) I am starting to question my decision to use stable vs. unstable since so many applications require me to "break the rules" to make recent versions of applications run. -Jeff

Can't confirm subscriptions
by Mike Flaherty Aug. 4, 2004

Aug. 4, 2004

Hello All, OS = Redhat 7.3 Python = 2.2.2 Mailman = 2.0.13 (RPM) {note I tried from 2.1.5 source code first but didn't get even this far so I backed it off} I seem to be having very similar issues as described in... http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2000-March/004095.html Also, while I see a list of addresses awaiting confirmation sitting in /var/log/mailman/subscribe, I do not see them under the "members" link in the admin web page (just empty). To be clear, I am able to initiate a subscription request, however when I try to confirm it via email as instructed by the Mailman email message I recieve, I get nothing back at all. My sendmail log looks like this when I try... to="|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test1", ctladdr=<test1-request(a)basspond.com> (8/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=prog, pri=31016, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent Thanks, Mike

Debian Woody/Exim4/Mailman2.4.5 -- Failure to Deliver
by Jim Clark Aug. 4, 2004

Aug. 4, 2004

Resolution: Seems that the Python version I upgraded to 2.3.3 had some bug in it that was braking mailman. Upgraded to Python 2.3.4 and rebooted machine. All items now working in perfect harmony. For those trying to get the same system of Debian\Exim4\Mailman 2.4.5 feel free to drop me a line if you need assistance. Best regards, Jim Clark

Mailman not forwarding mail and another odd problem
by Thomas Bartolucci Aug. 4, 2004

Aug. 4, 2004

I'm running mailman 2.1.5 with exim 3.36 on Debian 2.4.18. First off is this bad? Two problems one, the over-arching problem mail posted to the list is not being forwarded to anyone. Second, I am running two servers, my.server.com and my2.server.com. I can add users to the list via the web interface all users get the "welcome message" no matter what server they are on, except the users on: my.server.com The users on my2.server.com and external servers all get the welcome just not the ones like me(a)my.server.com What could be the problem here? -Tom

Does anyone know how to set it so all new subscribers are moderated, without affecting the current subscribers' settings? Thanks

Simple all postings moderated list?
by Ryan Jameson (USA) Aug. 4, 2004

Aug. 4, 2004

I'm going crazy trying to set up a list that is completely moderated. I get the result I want by flipping the Emergency moderation flag, and also by setting the modertation bit on all users. The problem is, when a new user signs up their mod bit is not set. :-\ Why isn't there just a checkbox that says, "All Postings Moderated" ... Or is that what the emergency flag is supposed to do? It seems a bit strange to use that. Thanks. <>< Ryan

Newbie question: where do I begin from?
by Luis Fernando C. Talora Aug. 4, 2004

Aug. 4, 2004

Fellows, I´m new the list and have no experience with Mailman. I´ve installed Fedora Core 2 on my server and configured Postifx, so it already send and recieves mail. Mailman is installed, though. So, what do I do now? I´ve tried to create a new list via http://myserver/mailman/admin, but it asks me about a list creator password or something like that. Where do I set it up? And where do I tell Mailman who´s allowed to create new lists on that server? Thanks for any help! Regards, Luis Fernando C.
