Problem with aliases (permissoins?)
by Alex Young Jan. 3, 2005

Jan. 3, 2005

I'm trying to make virtual domains work with mailman. I have set up mailman on a separate server using NFS to connect them. The email server is postfix and is co resident with mailman. I have tried changing groups, assigning the same group ID on both servers, making aliases world writable. I still the the following: --- Bug in Mailman version 2.1.5 We're sorry, we hit a bug!

bit setting for new user options
by David Logan Jan. 3, 2005

Jan. 3, 2005

Hi Again, I've managed to answer my own question so please forget I even posted this. If the flag 'Set everyone's moderation bit' is set to on, all new subscriptions are automagically set with this on. Thanks Hi Folks, I've trawled my way through the docs (please point out if I haven't seen it) and would like to know the settings to use to ensure all new members are added with the moderated bit set on. At the moment the config says 256 but doesn't explain which bit is which and I am not … [View More]

At the moment the config says 256 but doesn't explain which bit is which and I am not that good at reading python code (just yet, I am having a few issues with the way I think 8-)). I know I can do this through the web interface but I am using a perl script to add_members and need them to have … [View More]

customizable pages
by Teressa Haefele Jan. 3, 2005

Jan. 3, 2005

As a webmaster I enjoy the use of the mailman list manager for my website. Thank you for developing such a wonderful tool. I am curious, how come I do not have access to all the html pages that appear as part of the sign up process. for example the primary login page, if a member neglects to put in an email address to unsubscribe or edit options they are kicked to a login page which can not be edited. I am curious if you will be adding those pages to the edit the public html pages part of … [View More]

cron errors & corrupt config.pck.last
by Tim Flight Jan. 3, 2005

Jan. 3, 2005

Hello, I'm new at mailman so sorry if this is routine. I've searched and found others who had the same problem, but no solution. I'm running the default mailman install (2.1.2) on Mac OS X Server 10.3.7. Once every few days I get the following email sent to me from my server: +--------------------+ From: user@host (Cron Daemon) Date: December 29, 2004 9:00:01 AM EST To: user@host Subject: Cron <mailman@host> /usr/bin/python -S /usr/share/mailman/cron/disabled Traceback (most … [View More]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/listname/config.pck.last' +--------------------+ And the following information appears in my system log at the same time.

It seems to happen about once or twice per week. The /private/var/mailman/lists/listname/config.pck.last file becomes corrupt. So corrupt that even "sudo rm config.pck.last" won't get rid of it. However "sudo mv config.pck.last config.pck.last.old; sudo rm config.pck.last.old" will get rid of the corrupt file. Then I restart mailman and everything is fine for a few days. Anybody have any clue what is causing the config.pck.last file to become corrupt? [View Less]

Cell Phones...
by zzizzle＠zzizzle.com Jan. 3, 2005

Jan. 3, 2005

Has anyone tried using the email groups with cell phones? I tried testing it, and for some reason, on the cell, the return email always includes the "bounce" address as the return email. Whereas for messages arriving to standard email, the return email is the regular list email address. Anyone have any ideas why this might be? Or experience using the list with cell address? Thanks, y'all and happy new year! Jonathan www.zzizzle.com
