Hello list members! I have setup a list server running on Fedora Core 2, with Postfix 2.2.3, Mailman 2.1.5, and Python 2.3.4. I think I followed the Mailman setup and configuration guidelines correctly, but am having a problem that I cannot find resolution to via google nor by a search of the Mailman list archives. When sending a message to a test list, the message sits in the queue and Postfix reports in the maillog: Jun 6 09:04:55 lists postfix/qmgr[19892]: E16EA6FE2C: from=<test-bounces(a)lists.siemensmedical.com>, size=1215, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jun 6 09:04:55 lists postfix/local[19915]: warning: cannot find alias database owner for hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases(0,34100) The permissions on the aliases* files are: ls -l /usr/local/mailman/data/alias* -rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 107000 Jun 6 08:59 aliases -rw-r----- 1 mailman mailman 167936 Jun 6 08:59 aliases.db If anyone has any suggestions on how I might resolve this, I would greatly appreciate the feedback. Regards, Bill

Customizing Rejection notice with 2.1.6?
by David Gibbs 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

I just upgraded to 2.1.6 and tried to customize the non-member rejection notice by editing the 'nonmember_rejection_notice' value. However, when a non-member posts and I reject it, the old "Non-members are not allowed to post messages to this list." message is being sent. Is there something I missed? Thanks! david

Uncaught runner exception
by Salada, Duncan S. 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

I have a problem with one of my lists. I have 4 lists, and 3 seem to be working fine. The fourth one worked fine for the first couple of weeks, but then started having problems. No changes were made to the configuration during that time. The problem is this: mail will not go out to any of the users. This list was configured to have only one recipient and allow anyone to post to it (sort of a spam catcher). I've checked everything in the most applicable FAQ (http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.014.htp). In the error log, I keep getting "Uncaught runner exception: len() of unsized object" (the full log entry with Traceback is at the bottom of the email). I am running Mailman 2.1.4 installed from source on Solaris 6 with sendmail. Any help, information, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ==== ERROR LOG ===== Jun 06 15:10:09 2005 (27089) Uncaught runner exception: len() of unsized object Jun 06 15:10:09 2005 (27089) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1.4/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 110, in _oneloop self._onefile(msg, msgdata) File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1.4/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 160, in _onefile keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1.4/Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py", line 130, in _dispose more = self._dopipeline(mlist, msg, msgdata, pipeline) File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1.4/Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py", line 153, in _dopipeline sys.modules[modname].process(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1.4/Mailman/Handlers/ToDigest.py", line 91, in process send_digests(mlist, mboxfp) File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1.4/Mailman/Handlers/ToDigest.py", line 132, in send_digests send_i18n_digests(mlist, mboxfp) File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1.4/Mailman/Handlers/ToDigest.py", line 306, in send_i18n_digests msg = scrubber(mlist, msg) File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1.4/Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py", line 262, in process size = len(payload) TypeError: len() of unsized object Jun 06 15:10:09 2005 (27089) SHUNTING: 1118084879.080544+37fc5a2467c00ef900e9933a77c481ec4aa67de3 ==== END ERROR LOG ===== Duncan

Listing subscribers without admin password?
by Trevor Cullingsworth 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way through the web browser interface to list subscribers of a mailing list without inputting the admin password. We have users who at times need to see who is on a list. However, I do not want to give them the admin password because they could go in and change settings, add/remove users, etc. I can run the list_members command from the command line but rather than write a PHP script to utilize this command I was wondering if there was a nother way already in place. Thank you. Trevor Cullingsworth

Running mailman on dedicated server
by Andy Cravens 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

I'm looking for information on pros, cons and setup steps for taking mailman off the mail server and setting it up on a dedicated mailman list server. I looked through the entire FAQ and didn't see any info on this. I've seen this information before but can't find it now. -- Andy
