virtual domain lists
by Christian Anton June 28, 2005

June 28, 2005

Hi list, i am running mailman 2.1.5 with the mailman-virtual patch for some virtual domains. Because of the usage of suexec on my Webserver i have every vhost running its CGI's with another UID on the system. For being able to access the mailman-binaries i have to create a new vhost that ist only for this, for example "lists.domain.tld", configuring in this vhost that cgi's are executed with the UID 'mailman'. Now i want to create a mailinglist list(a)mglug.de, but the URL host for … [View More]

by Darren G Pifer June 28, 2005

June 28, 2005

Hello, I am new to the list so if I miss something or is improper protocol, please let me know. Recently, we upgraded our mailman software from 2.0.13 to 2.1.6b4 and moved from a Solaris to Linux platform (RedHat AS 3 Update) on a different machine. The Apache Web server we are running is 2.0.52. We are successfully sending mail through the list server and the web server is generally working, except for a couple of issues.

Improving SMTP performance?
by Paul Key June 28, 2005

June 28, 2005

Mailman 2.1.3 Solaris 9 Exim 4.43 I have a list with 2300 subscribers and have set SMTP_MAX_RECEIPTS = 0 to submit all the entire recipient list in one transaction to Exim. Looking in the Mailman SMTP log file I see the following line: smtp for 2300 recips, completed in 1921.891 seconds. This seems a long time to me ? Is it? Does anyone know how I can speed this up? Thanks Paul -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Help getting SuSE 9.3+Mailman 2.1.5+Apache2 working
by Michael Regoli June 28, 2005

June 28, 2005

Hello! I'm trying to get mailman and Apache2 working nicely from the stock SuSE distro. (YOU, Yast Online Update is current on the machine, so if there's new stuff for either mailman or Apache2, I've got it. mailman is version [2.1.5] and Apache2 is version [2.0.53].) Has anyone got the two working together? If so, could you shed some light on your Apache2 configuration? I've followed all of the instructions at http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/node10.html, but cannot get … [View More]

SuSe 9.3 / Mailman / Python 2.4-14: cannot read wrapper configuration file
by Poster June 28, 2005

June 28, 2005

Greetings everyone. I'm using SuSe 9.3 with the suppled Mailman and Python and I'm running smack dab into the dreaded "Cannot read wrapper configuration file" error. This is obtained when I try to send mail to aliases for a list, or when I try to execute any of Mailman's CGI programs through the web interface. I've checked the gid files and both are set to group 67 -- the mailman group. The gid files are owned by mailman/mailman, as is everything in the mailman cgi-bin directory (which I've … [View More]

There is an option to send mail to owner, but this function won't send the explanation sent back to the original sender. Is it possible … [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] Message Unparsable
by Dennis Putnam June 28, 2005

June 28, 2005

This problem seems to be a little more serious then I thought. It appears that no HTML attachments are getting through mailman. In addition to the unparsable error I am also getting a "non-text attachment was scrubbed" error and one message went into a black hole (no message distributed and nothing in any Mailman logs). There is only a message in the SMTP log showing the message was passed to the Mailman command string. I desperately need some help resolving this problem. Is there some … [View More]
