Outbound queue runner failing...
by Mike Cisar Nov. 3, 2005

Nov. 3, 2005

Just wondering if anyone else may have seen this problem and/or have a solution. Have a Mailman installation 2.1.5 on a Fedora 4 server (RPM install mailman-2.1.5-35.fc4) I'll see the following in the qrunner log... Nov 01 08:28:46 2005 (2583) Master qrunner detected subprocess exit (pid: 11185, sig: None, sts: 1, class: OutgoingRunner, slice: 1/1) [restarting] Nov 01 08:28:46 2005 (19383) OutgoingRunner qrunner started.

The above are missing for several of my mailing lists. How do I remedy this dilemma? Do I HAVE to recreate the lists? Thanks, LDB

Host won't upgrade, what are my options?
by Sam Santos Nov. 2, 2005

Nov. 2, 2005

I have a problem with my current host (Hostway). The only "upgrade" to mailman they support would result in me losing my archives and basically starting from scratch. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the mailman installation... at least not as far as I can tell (warning: I'm fairly new to this side of things). Is there any hope for my archives at all? --sam

Hello Everyone, I am a newbie to mailman but I can not figure out how to 1. Create an announce only list 2. Automatically subscribe registrants to our lists using a script.

Sincerely, Nelly Yusupova

Formatting the Subject-field in other languages
by Rene Hertell Nov. 2, 2005

Nov. 2, 2005

Hi all, I have been searching for some time now a way in cleaning up the subject-field when people send messages with email-clients that use different locale that English, but I could not find any solution. I've got the impression that Mailman cleans multiple Re's and Fw's from the subject-line (and not the email-client), but now when a user sends an message with an email-client that uses other abbreviations as the English ones, they just stick there. This is an example of a subject sent in a … [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman with Exim4: owner cannot post
by Oliver König Nov. 2, 2005

Hello Mark, thanks a lot for your help. I must have forgotten the bootom part. I now have: [..] # Home dir for your Mailman installation -- aka Mailman's prefix # directory. # By default this is set to "/usr/local/mailman" # On a Red Hat/Fedora system using the RPM use "/var/mailman" # On Debian using the deb package use "/var/lib/mailman" # This is normally the same as ~mailman MM_HOME=/var/lib/mailman # # User and group for Mailman, should match your --with-mail-gid # switch to Mailman's … [View More]configure script. # Value is normally "mailman" MM_UID=root MM_GID=list # # Domains that your lists are in - colon separated list # you may wish to add these into local_domains as well domainlist mm_domains=windfinder.com:server.windfinder.com:www.windfinder.com # # -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= # # These values are derived from the ones above and should not need # editing unless you have munged your mailman installation # # The path of the Mailman mail wrapper script MM_WRAP=MM_HOME/mail/mailman # # The path of the list config file (used as a required file when # verifying list addresses) MM_LISTCHK=MM_HOME/lists/${lc::$local_part}/config.pck #smtp_accept_queue_per_connection=30 [..] For domainlist mm_domains I used everything that could possibly be useful, reloaded exim, set "Host name this list prefers for email. (Details for host_name" to "server" and posted another message to the list. This is what /var/log/mail.log says: Nov 2 18:01:08 server spamd[1916]: got connection over /var/run/spamd.sock Nov 2 18:01:08 server spamd[1916]: info: setuid to nobody succeeded Nov 2 18:01:08 server spamd[1916]: Creating default_prefs [/nonexistent/.spamassassin/user_prefs] Nov 2 18:01:08 server spamd[1916]: Cannot write to /nonexistent/.spamassassin/user_prefs: No such file or directory Nov 2 18:01:08 server spamd[1916]: Couldn't create readable default_prefs for [/nonexistent/.spamassassin/user_prefs] Nov 2 18:01:08 server spamd[1916]: checking message <200511021800.35524.oliver(a)windfinder.com> for nobody:65534.

mail format question
by Jane Hermanson Nov. 2, 2005

Nov. 2, 2005

Hi I have been reading through the archives trying to figure out a solution from all your advice. My issue is the HTML formatted messages to be sent to the list arrive as attachments not as a regular message I open up and just read. I have completely turned off content filtering but still my HTML messages are received as attachments? What have I missed.I have been troubleshooting with various suggestions you have posted. Jane

Site Admin Password list change
by Kory Wheatley Nov. 2, 2005

Nov. 2, 2005

Hi All, I would like to know if there's a way you could have another Site Admin users that could authenticate into any Mailman list, and change the Admin or Moderator password for that list? I know you have a Site Admin password that can create and delete lists via web, but it doesn't allow you to authenticate into existing lists. The only purpose for this access would be to change the password for the Moderator/Admin for this list, and not be able to change any of the other settings.

ignoring mm_cfg.py
by Ken Senior Nov. 2, 2005

Nov. 2, 2005

The problem with my web interface is indeed the RewriteRule: RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}$1 [R] which is eliminating the post data, though I don't really understand why since I thought the $1 made sure that would be maintained. I tried following FAQ #4.27 as you specified but had no luck. Item #1 results in a limit being reached on the number of redirects, while item #2 seems to have no effect. That is, putting the following into the mm_cfg.py … [View More]

Thanks Mark, You are right! It appears that rpm installation on SuSE installs automatically cron job for me. # rpm -ql mailman-2.1.4-83.13 | grep /etc/init.d/mailman /etc/init.d/mailman There is another cron job I did myself, sitting at: /var/spool/cron/tabs/mailman I'll just remove this one.
