LDAP, Qmail, and Mailman...
by Josh Gibbs 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

Greetings, I am embarking on my first install of Mailman, and after reviewing the Installation Manual I am wondering if it will work with my particular setup: Fedora Core R4, using OpenLDAP 2.2.23, and Qmail. I did not set this machine up, and I am uncertain what complications LDAP is going to create. Any words of advice would be much appreciated! Thanks. -Josh

Non-member posting

Hi all, I looked through the faq but didn't the answer - perhaps I'm missing what's too obvious. Anyway - how do I make an existing list open for non-members to post to. (I'm doing a list for tournament managers which should also act as a "helpdesk"). Regards, Martin S

Removing Disabled List Members
by David Andrews 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

I was under the impression, which may be wrong, that when a list subscription was disabled due to bounces, then a period of time passed, without the subscription being renewed by the user, that his/her address was automatically removed from the list. Am I wrong. This isn't happening with my system. I run some 80 lists, many of which are years old, so these things are starting to add up. Dave David Andrews and white cane Harry.

From address format question
by Jonathan Larsen 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

Why is it that in outlook, when I get an email from mail man that it puts; listname-bounces(a)hostname.com on behalf of ME [myemail(a)hostname.com] Shouldn't it just be the listname? Or if this is normal can someone explain it to me. I've been left with this duty of figuring out every odd and end of mailman to tell my managers and they don't like the fact that it does this. Not that it matters to any of you but. ya.. hah anyways, any help is much appreciated. "If i was a rabbit, i would ROLL... ROLL!!!!!" -Kompressor Jonathan Larsen The Awesome I.S.

by lovecreatesbeauty 21 Feb '06

I build this mail system using apache, sendmail (bundled with Solaris 10) and mailman on Solaris 10 experimental. All these componemts work properly separately. How to make them work tegother, and just work as a real mail system as yours? Following are the working processes of the three main components on my Solaris 10 machine: $ ps -ef | grep apache apache 512 506 0 09:53:58 ? 0:00 /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k start root 506 1 0 09:53:57 ? 0:00 /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k start apache 514 506 0 09:53:58 ? 0:00 /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k start apache 516 506 0 09:53:58 ? 0:00 /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k start apache 517 506 0 09:53:59 ? 0:00 /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k start apache 519 506 0 09:53:59 ? 0:00 /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k start apache 568 506 0 10:05:03 ? 0:00 /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k start apache 569 506 0 10:05:03 ? 0:00 /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k start apache 567 506 0 10:05:01 ? 0:00 /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k start joshua 611 469 0 10:28:40 pts/2 0:00 grep apache $ $ ps -ef | grep sendmail root 437 1 0 09:43:31 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q15m smmsp 438 1 0 09:43:31 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/sendmail -Ac -q15m joshua 622 469 0 10:33:41 pts/2 0:00 grep sendmail $ $ ps -ef | grep mailman mailman 509 507 0 09:53:58 ? 0:01 /usr/local/bin//python /usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=BounceRunner:0:1 mailman 510 507 0 09:53:58 ? 0:01 /usr/local/bin//python /usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=CommandRunner:0: mailman 511 507 0 09:53:58 ? 0:01 /usr/local/bin//python /usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=IncomingRunner:0 mailman 508 507 0 09:53:58 ? 0:01 /usr/local/bin//python /usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=ArchRunner:0:1 - mailman 507 1 0 09:53:57 ? 0:00 /usr/local/bin//python /usr/local/mailman/bin/mailmanctl -s start mailman 513 507 0 09:53:58 ? 0:01 /usr/local/bin//python /usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=NewsRunner:0:1 - mailman 515 507 0 09:53:58 ? 0:01 /usr/local/bin//python /usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=OutgoingRunner:0 mailman 518 507 0 09:53:59 ? 0:01 /usr/local/bin//python /usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=VirginRunner:0:1 mailman 520 507 0 09:53:59 ? 0:00 /usr/local/bin//python /usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=RetryRunner:0:1 $ I am really disturbed by the problems of this mail system and mailman for some days.

Re: [Mailman-Users] obscure addresses in archive

(as per next post by Mark\ Sapiro removing email addresses completely is possible....)... I('list administrator') / the system owner who have evtech mailing list (discussion list on technical aspects of electric vehicles) running on Mailman, would definitely like a way to have public list archives with no email addresses, while keeping the private archives facility... The system owner (known as 'Sheer') is interested in writing the relevant code/changes as-needed to make this possible if practical ;-). I expect at the moment this involves some mess making a second copy of the archive with the email addresses removed?? I notice mailman-users has a separate mailing list archive with email addresses hidden... How does that work? Maybe this sort of facility/framework should be included in Mailman 3.x ?? Comments wanted please ;-). --''enyc'' <enyc(a)evtech.org>

help
by patrick siglin 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

I am needing some help with mailman. First off my webserver is on port 8888 and everything works. I did notice that some of the links do not have a :8888 on them. List administrators, you can visit the list admin overview page <http://list.memphistw.org/cgi-bin/mailman/admin> to find the management interface for your list. Overview of all list.memphistw.org mailing lists <http://list.memphistw.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo> And also the create list page does not have the :8888 on them as well. Another question is how do you set the global create list password?

Relationship URL with Lists
by Gustavo Mesquita 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

Hi all, I have created lists using the command: "./newlist -u myurl.domain.br -q ListName mail(a)myself.org passwd" But, when I configure the list using the archive "sitelist.cfg" with the command: "./config_list -i sitelist.cfg ListName" The list loses the reference for URL when it was created! I need to user the archive "sitelist.cfg" for configure the list and I can't to lose the reference... some help!?!? thanks, sorry my english

Mailman drops some information in Content-Type
by Peppo Brambilla 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

Hi folks, some of my users complained about wrapped URIs in mails they have send to a mailman lists. The problem seems to me that mailman is dropping the format and delsp parameters (s. http://www.rfc-archive.org/getrfc.php?rfc=3676) which the mail clients add to the text/plain format. An example is given below. So far I haven't found any configuration option which does the trick. Is there's a way to keep mailman from dropping these parameters or does mailman not support these parameters?
