Is it possible to inclue %(user_optionsurl)s in the body of a message, and make Mailman dynamically replace it? I know it is possible with header and footer. -- JFO <mailto:johanfo@ohman>

This is my problem-- but I don't understand the solution! Can someone translate this solution for me? "What about your Queue Runners? ps auxx|grep -i QR If they aren't running, that's your problem." Thanks.... Dina Hornreich http://home.earthlink.net/~dinahornreich

Problem solved! Thanks for the phone call, Larry. You were terrific. Knowledgeable and generous. For anyone else with this same problem, the solution was to restart the qrunners and make sure they were set to start on reboot. On my Redhat system, this meant: >bin/mailmanctl start after which ps auxxw|grep -i QR gave an eight-line return. To set the Queue Runners to start on reboot: >chkconfig --level 23 --add mailman That was all!

Mailman was working, then stopped
by Doug Lipman 25 Jun '05

Hi, my Mailman lists (Mailman 2.1.5 on Red Hat) were working fine for over a year. Then, about a month ago, they stopped working. (My last administrator email came May 30.) I don't know why. When I send messages to a list, no messages are sent out. I'm also not receiving any administrative messages. I do know that I had neglected the "Moderator Requests" for quite a while. One list had 88 spam messages awaiting me. Now, however, when I go to the Adminstration Page, there are "no pending requests." I have run /usr/local/mailman/bin/check_perms and get "No problems found". Then cron daemon appears to be running (although I don't know what the "May30" here means and if it's a clue to why the lists stopped sending on May 30): >[root@server mailman]# ps -aux |grep cron |grep -v grep >root 2554 0.0 0.0 1440 132 ? S May30 0:05 crond The aliases all appear to still be intact. The administrative pages appear to work and give the correct list of members as well as archived messages. Does anyone have any thoughts on what might have gone wrong? Thanks! Doug Lipman -- *********************************************************************** Doug Lipman, P.O.

Odd notification problem
by Allen Watson 24 Jun '05

24 Jun '05

I have a list set up with two addresses as Administrator, and with the option checked to notify the administrator of subscriptions and unsubscribe requests. (No approval needed for either.) This was working fine until recently, when I changed some options on this and a number of lists to have just a single admin. The second party requested that he be added back, which I did. And I probably changed something else because this is the weird result: I am receiving unsubscribe notices, but NOT subscribe notices. How that is possible, since there is only a single checkbox to control it, I do not know. The other guy is receiving subscribe notices, and I do not know yet if he is getting the unsubscribe notices. Our names are specified in the same box in the General Options page. How can we be receiving different things? The only thing I can think of is that I am also given as Moderator, and he is not. Any ideas? This is very important to me, because when someone subscribes and I am notified, my mail client is set up to respond with certain replies, including sending a PDF attachment to the new subscriber. Currently that isn't happening because I am not getting the notices.

Head's UP - we changed administrivia settings for the mailman-users and -dev lists
by JC Dill 24 Jun '05

24 Jun '05

Because the mailman-users and mailman-developers lists frequently discuss administrivia matters and because most users on these lists know how to properly email the list server for administrivia tasks, most administrivia filter matches to these lists are false positives. We have just changed the list config to no longer try to filter out administrivia requests. When you send email to unsubscribe or otherwise change your list settings be *extra* careful to send your request to the server address and not the list submission address, lest your mistake go out to the whole list. (You probably won't like the flames this is likely to produce.) jc - volunteer assistant list admin for -users and -dev
