mailman isn't sending the posts out.
by Bryan Dennstedt Feb. 3, 2005

Feb. 3, 2005

mailman version 2.1.3 source install freebsd os mta - sendmail A message was sent to the server, I see the maillog says it was sent to the mailman wrapper, I see the message int he qfiles in folder. Yet the message was not sent out to the list. The only thing I've done recently was change the hostname of the machine from domain.com to old.domain.com I've adjusted the appriopriate files in mailman to fix this. Ideas? Thanks. -Bryan

Attachment Question
by Suzette Googins Feb. 3, 2005

Feb. 3, 2005

I am the administrator for the listserv at my organization. Myself, my colleagues as well as others on the list are having trouble with attachments. Is there a certain setting to allow attachments to a posting? Is there a size limit? Are there certain file types that aren't allowed to be posted? I made a posting last Friday with an attachment (WORD) and no one received it. I didn't find an error message either. Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

OT? ClamAV Handler and zombie process
by John Fleming Feb. 2, 2005

Feb. 2, 2005

I'm using the ClamScan.py ClamAV Mailman handler. Everything seems to work fine except that a zombie process keeps showing up. It goes away if I restart Mailman, but it reappears as soon as the first subsequent message hits Mailman. However, no subsequent zombies show up. ps -ef shows that "list" is running clamdscan and it shows as <defunct> (the zombie). Has anyone else seen this? Any idea how to approach? Should I just not worry about it since no further zombies seem to appear? Pse answer direct if this is too off-topic for this list. Thanks - John -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Setting Up a List Via Command Line?
by Hunter Hillegas Feb. 2, 2005

Feb. 2, 2005

I have a need to do some list setup from the command line via another program. I am running 2.1.5. I am able to create the list and add members. One thing I would like to do is to set the moderation bit to true for all members and then set it to false for a single member. I am creating an announce list programatically. I am able to import the members no problem. How can I perform the moderation settings changes? Thanks, Hunter

Mailman Slowing delivery
by Kory Wheatley Feb. 2, 2005

Feb. 2, 2005

If I change the configuration variable in Mailman: qrunner_sleep_time = 1 to qrunner_sleep_time = 60 Will this slow the delivery of Mailman's Queue to outgoing recipients. I'm looking for a way to slow the number of emails or connections to Postfix, because of rate control issues. I've already slowed the performance of Postfix I think. -- Kory Wheatley Academic Computing Analyst Sr. Phone 282-3874 ######################################### Everything must point to him.
