Confirmation e-mail goes to user that is not admin or moderator
by Charles M. Owen Jan. 28, 2006

I have set up a list and all the emails that are going to the "owner" are going to a person that is not on either the admin or moderator list. Any idea why? Using 2.1.6 Mailman Charles

Are the posts being held as "Post by non-member to a members-only list" or for some other reason? Is the from address actually '@some.domain' and not '@xxx.some.domain'? What if you put "^.*some\.domain$" as the regexp in accept_these_nonmembers? I.e., allow any address that ends with 'some.domain', not just those that are exactly '@some.domain'. -- Mark Sapiro <msapiro(a)value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

I guess then that this is moot at this point, but my interpretation of the referenced Apache docs is that you need NameVirtualHost directives in the configuaration in addition to the ServerName directives in the VirtualHost sections. >>Since your virtual hosts seem to use the same IP address (at least the >>ones I could look up), you need NameVirtualHost directives.

troubles with multiple installations on the same machine
by Davide Galletti Jan. 27, 2006

Jan. 27, 2006

Hi all, I am having troubles installing more than one instance on the same LINUX FEDORA CORE 2 box. The need arises from having to manage lists for more than one domain (e.g. abitipuliti.org liste.cnms.it swazitalia.org ...) I understand that installing multiple instances is the best choiche ... am I right? (FAQ: "Multiple installations on the same machine can be used to avoid the list naming restrictions" http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.047.htp I accurately ( I hope ) followed the instructions on: http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/index.html The 1st instance for abitipuliti.org works just fine On the 2nd and 3rd for liste.cnms.it and swazitalia.org I get some PROBLEMS: When I fill in the form on - http://liste.cnms.it/mailman/create (2nd) and on - http://swazitalia.org/mailman/create (3rd) I get *Error: /Unknown virtual host: liste.cnms.it/* *Error: /Unknown virtual host: swazitalia.org/* On both forms it will accept as "List creator's (authentication) password" the password of the 1st instance!! Also some URLs point erroneusly from 2nd or 3nd web interface to 1st domain. If I create the list from the command line I get the notification of the new list but when click to the URL http://swazitalia.org/mailman/admin/test I get: No such list /test/ CONFIGURATION: >>>>>>>>>1st instance for abitipuliti.org 2.1.4 $prefix = /var/mailman Apache httpd.conf <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName abitipuliti.org ProxyVia on ScriptAlias /mailman/* /var/mailman/cgi-bin/* Alias /pipermail/ /var/mailman/archives/public/ </VirtualHost> >>>>>>>>>2nd instance for liste.cnms.it 2.1.6 $prefix = /data/mailman ./configure --prefix=/data/mailman --with-cgi-gid=apache --with-mailhost=liste.cnms.it --with-urlhost=liste.cnms.it Apache httpd.conf <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName liste.cnms.it ProxyVia on ScriptAlias /mailman/* /data/mailman/cgi-bin/* Alias /pipermail/ /data/mailman/archives/public/ </VirtualHost> >>>>>>>>>3rd instance for swazitalia.org 2.1.7 $prefix = /data/mailmanswazitalia ./configure --prefix=/data/mailmanswazitalia --with-cgi-gid=apache --with-mailhost=swazitalia.org --with-urlhost=swazitalia.org Apache httpd.conf <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /data/www/swazitalia ServerName swazitalia.org ProxyVia on ScriptAlias /mailman/* /data/mailmanswazitalia/cgi-bin/* Alias /pipermail/ /data/mailmanswazitalia/archives/public/ </VirtualHost> Any hint? Anything I can try to understand where is the configuration error? Alternative configurations? Thanks so much for your patience, Davide

It is not likely a virtual > host problem as host really isn't involved in processing > confirmations. I had to test the others. To be honest I haven't earlier used this kind of "user-driven subscription" in any of the lists on that server, but have been adding the users on the web form instead. And the result is that (what was exactly what I was afraid of ;)) that at least the one I tested worked... What gives??? Best regards hannu

Domain problem with mailman
by Peter Russell Jan. 27, 2006

Jan. 27, 2006

I just installed Mailman and it seemed to setup ok, until I tried to create a new list using the web interface. I'm running Fedora Core 3 with all the correct versions of Sendmail, Python, Apache and Mailman. My machine name is server1.my.domain My web page is www.my.domain All email addrs are name(a)my.domain DNS is set up for www.my.domain, mail.my.domain and mail2.my.domain. Sendmail is working fine. Mailman wants to use mylist(a)server1.my.domain when it should be mylist(a)my.domain Using the web interface, (http://www.my.domain/mailman), whichever option I select, it requests a page starting Http://server1.my.domain...... If I manually change 'server1' to 'www' it works fine. Anyone care to suggest where I've gone wrong? Thanks. Peter.

Regenerate the archives index.html file

Jan. 27, 2006

Hello, I am working with a server where some of the html pages got defaced via the "NeverEverNoSanity" (old) worm). One of the pages that got defaced was the index.html page of one of the archives (/mailman/archives/public/list_name). How can I regenerate this file? Thanks in advance.
