SUEXEC question
by Ashley M. Kirchner March 23, 2005

March 23, 2005

Mailman likes to have the scripts in /cgi-bin/ to be run with set-gid, however SUEXEC won't allow it. So, a) can mailman work in a SUEXEC environment if I turn OFF the set-gid bit?, or b) what other caveats do I have to look out for with mailman running in a SUEXEC environment? I looked in the FAQ for 'suexec' but that search turned up empty, so I'm not sure if I'm not searching for the right term, or whether no one has tried it yet. There is also no mention of suexec anywhere in … [View More]

"User unknown in local recipient table" Error
by Olson, Gary March 23, 2005

March 23, 2005

I've got two lists up and running after a new install of Mailman 2.1.5 (RH E 3, Apache 2.0.46, Postfix 2.0.16) but when I went to create a third list today everything went fine until I sent an email to test the new list. The message came right back with a "User unknown in local recipient table" error. I did a search of the documentation/troubleshooting and this list's archives and tried changing the local_recipient_maps in main.cf for Postfix. When I did that I get a database loop for … [View More]

Accepting "implicit destination" messages based on other headers?
by Ivan Fetch March 23, 2005

March 23, 2005

Hello, I'm wondering whether it is currently possible, or whether there is something on the drawing board, to allow accepting of messages normally held for "implicit destination" based on other headers than To or CC? We would like to accept certain messages based on another header, without opening things up to much by putting something overly general in acceptable_aliases. Thank you, Ivan Fetch.

You could look at Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py, but thus doesn't really show what I think you want - the part I think you're looking for is compressed into joerandom ---> mylist ---> list members Look in Defaults.py at the definition of GLOBAL_PIPELINE which defines the flow through the various Mailman/Handlers/ modules. >I'm particularly interested in when the ~/archives/… [View More]

private archives authentication

March 23, 2005

Hello I tried to set up mailing lists using mailman on SuSE-9.2 (my own mailman installation, not the SuSE package) Everything works fine, but I can not access the private archives of the lists using the url http://some.host.com/mailman/private/listname when I enter a valid e-mail address and password for the given list, the same login page is returned. Does anyone have an idea why? thanks Daniel
