UPgrade to 2.1.9 woes
by Raphael Mankin Oct. 15, 2006

Oct. 15, 2006

I recently upgraded from 2.1.8 to 2.1.9. This caused problems with the URLs generated in the admin pages. Previously, they used the virtual host name. After the change to 2.1.9 the URLs used the real host name, which failed in my virtual hosting environment. Is this known issue? Is there a work-around for it? Second question: when are moderators likely to be able to edit postings?

Automatic notifications not going out
by Tracey McCartney Oct. 15, 2006

Oct. 15, 2006

I own/moderate several Mailman lists hosted by Inmotion Hosting. In other words, I don't run the server. :) The mailman installation on the server we're using will not send out automatic notifications. I don't think any of the lists I've ever run on my Inmotion account have ever sent out a monthly password reminder, and recently I also stopped getting moderator notices. I can kick out a password reminder manually from a listmember's page, so Mailman clearly has the ability to send stuff, but it's not doing it automatically like it should. I pointed the techs at Inmotion to this: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=all#6.14 Unfortunately, the techs there don't even know how to get to the list config page, much less fix this problem. They've restarted Mailman twice and they "ran a script on the VPS," whatever that means. It hasn't helped. Any suggestions I can pass along to them? Would you suggest to me that I find a better host? :) Thanks, Tracey -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mail going to list archives but not to list!
by Allan Trick Oct. 15, 2006

Oct. 15, 2006

Following on to what I read in the archives of a problem Elizabeth Schwartz was having, I'm having the same thing happen to me. The last message that made it to any of our lists went out last Wednesday. There are a bunch of .pck files in the qfiles/out directory, so I think there are messages trying to get out. One of them that someone called and asked me about DOES show up in the archives for that list, but no one received it by email, and the .pck file for it is still in qfiles/out. I looked at FAQ 3.14 and did everything I could there. No luck. Any advice? Thanks, Allan

Turning attachment of the held mail *OFF*?
by Jo'Asia Oct. 14, 2006

Oct. 14, 2006

I'm an administrator for a few mailman-based lists. Since the upgrade to v. 2.1.5 I can't find an option to *not* attach the held mail to the 'X post from Y requires approval' messages. The result is this: a list has the size threshold set to 500KB, a large message (say 15MB) arrives and it happens to be something that should be accepted. So I get first the 'requires aprroval' notice with an 15MB attachment, I approve it, and then I get - surpise! - the 15MB mail. And there are those people who read the 'held for approval' response, understand only the "it did not get through" part and are sending the BIG mail again (and again, and again, and again...) So - is there *any* way to turn the attachments *OFF*?

Different URL PATTERNS per virtual host?
by Benjamin Donnachie Oct. 14, 2006

Oct. 14, 2006

I am using Mailman v2.1.6 and I was wondering whether it is possible to have a different DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN per virtual host? For my main site, example.com, I would like it to use https://%s/mailman for the web interface, but for other sites I host, say example.net, to use http://%s/mailman. Take care, Ben

VERP with Postfix recipient_delimiter of "-"
by Todd A. Jacobs Oct. 14, 2006

Oct. 14, 2006

I've Googled around, and haven't seen anything useful. I'm hoping someone else can point me in the right direction here. I'm running Postfix 2.1.5 with the following key definitions: recipient_delimiter = - smtpd_authorized_verp_clients = $mynetworks owner_request_special = no and Mailman 2.1.5, with the following: VERP_PASSWORD_REMINDERS = Yes VERP_PERSONALIZED_DELIVERIES = Yes VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = Yes However, no VERP happens at all. Nada. Zip. Zilch. So, the question is, do I have to tweak the default VERP_FORMAT, VERP_REGEXP, VERP_PROBE_FORMAT, VERP_PROBE_REGEXP, or anything else to make this happen? Am I doing something wrong? Or is it just well and truly broken? Any help would be, well, helpful. -- Unabashedly littering the information superhighway with detritus like this for over 15 years now.
