Wierd Problem creating list
by Tamara Yoggev 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Hi all, I've just installed mailman on a Linux machine with postfix. I'm having the following problems, which may be related, I just can't figure out. 1) I went through all the install steps, created a site mailing list (mailman), and a few other mailing lists (tamara, tests, whatever). I DO get the notification email from mailman-owner, the lists DO appear in the /usr/local/mailman/lists folder but when I go to the link: http://www.aishlist.com/mailman/admin/tamara I get "No such list tamara" 2) when I try to create a list via the web interface, I get Error: You are not authorized to create new mailing lists , I AM using the list creator password which I created. (besides that I can create a list via the command line as I've stated above) Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? Thanks a lot, Tamara

help! mailman not working with virtual servers
by Lynn Siprelle 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

I am trying to move my heretofore working mailman installation from one server (FreeBSD/Sendmail) to another (RedHat/Exim). I can access my lists at my main url, but I get "Page not found" on the domains I host. The error log says "premature end of script headers". None of the lists have colliding names. Mailman is critical to my clients. I have been through the faq, the archives and the documentation. I've tried everything I could find that seemed applicable. help! Moving servers is bad enough without this crap!

Membership lists
by Martin Dennett 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

I'm familiar with the "who <password>" facility to retrieve the membership listing, but is there a way I can receive this info with the individual settings for each subscriber? I'm particularly interested in members who have their mail delivery disabled, as I want to change them all to subscribe to the topic that I've set up specificially to be able to contact them all. Is there a way to force everybody to subscribe to a topic when they first join the list, as this could save a lot of time in the future? Regards Martin Dennett

Outgoing SMTP connection
by Steven Stolarski 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Hello All, I have inherited a mail system that has a mailman 2.1.5 server using 'SMTPDirect' as the Delivery Module to our primary mail server. I'm interested in limiting the rate at which this system sends mail (due to limited configuration options on the incoming mail server). From what I can tell there use to be a very specific option to do just this, limit outgoing smtp connections but that seems to have been removed by 2.1.5. Is there anyway to accomplish this in my version? Thanks in advance for any help. Green McNewbie

I'll check those settings. Thanks. Mark Sapiro <msapiro(a)value.net> wrote:J.R.

not receiving messages to lists
by jfl1＠duke.edu 28 Mar '05

28 Mar '05

Hello, I'm no expert at Mailman, which obviously explains my current stuggles and need for assistance. I'm running the following... Mailman 2.1.5 Sendmail 8.12.8-9 Apache 2.0.40 Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5 These were installed via rpm. I've checked through the Mailman FAQ on the Mailman site and also looked through the Mailman FAQ on the python.org site and haven't found anything to get me any further in solving the problems I'm encountering. At the moment I am able to create lists and messages from the list are successfully sent out to list-owner or list members. What I am unable to do is send messages from a remote account to the list. I send messages to the list and after some time receive bounces to my remote account indicating that the connection was refused by the address I was attempting to send to. A few other items... I've checked the MTA logs at /var/log/maillog and am not receiving any information in this file indicating that the messages sent from a remote host ever interacted with my local box running Mailman. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jason

member names vs. us-ascii/iso-8859-1
by Lauren Weinstein 28 Mar '05

28 Mar '05

Greetings. I was recently stung by the situation where somebody apparently subscribed to my us-ascii configured system with an extended Latin-1 char in their "real name" (probably via e-mail, though I'm not certain). This resulted in mail distributions failing and being shunted upon hitting that name due to an "out of range" error. I cured this quickly by switching the mailman definition over to iso-8859-1 to get the mail out, but this has side-effects I'd prefer not to have continue (including ordinary ascii Subject lines being iso-encoded unnecessarily). Is there a simple change I can make to simply prevent the member name(s) in question from shunting the entire distribution? I've been looking over the code but I don't know it well enough to be sure that I won't cause unintended side-effects. Thanks much. --Lauren--
