Moving of website (retry)
by Tom Wills March 25, 2006

March 25, 2006

I sent this eariler, but never saw it come through, so I am trying again. I want to move my site to a different host. However, I don't see how I can move the mailman folders from one host to another. When I backup my files from the host, I see the mailman folders. But for me to upload them, I can't drill down far enough on the new host to ftp them over. Is there a way to import all my archives from one host to another??? Thanks in advance!

Keep getting empty bounces
by Chris Mason (Lists) March 25, 2006

March 25, 2006

I have setup some new lists on a new server and the lists seem to work fine, users get the mail, all is well. However, after every post to the lists, I get loads of messages from mailman-bounces(a)mylistserver.com to the mylist-admin(a)mylistserver.com with the subject "Uncaught bounce notification", and there is an attachment. However, the attachment, named ForwardedMessage.eml, is always blank, not even a subject, no headers, nothing. I have no idea what is causing this. Any suggestions? -- Chris Mason NetConcepts (264) 497-5670 Fax: (264) 497-8463 Int: (305) 704-7249 Fax: (815)301-9759 UK 44.207.183.0271 Cell: 264-235-5670 Yahoo IM: netconcepts_anguilla(a)yahoo.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Raw Archives
by Jewel March 24, 2006

March 24, 2006

I have a user that wants to download the raw archives of a list but this archive it 65MB and her PC hangs every time she tries to download it. Mine does too. I am trying to determine if there is a way I can run a a command on the Mailman server which could zip the file, mail it to myself and then send it to her. Or if there is another way of downloading the file via the web I can tell her. Any suggestions or ideas anyone? -- Thanks! Jewel

shunting problem (unpack list of wrong size)
by Jim Savoy March 24, 2006

March 24, 2006

Hello all, Of our 770+ lists, a couple have some shunting problems (the unshunt command fails to release queued up messages in the shunt directory). We are still running v2.1.5 with plans to upgrade in May, but I was hoping to get a fix for this before then. The error message we get is: ========================================================== Mar 23 12:37:33 2006 (19290) Uncaught runner exception: unpack list of wrong size . . . File "/mail/mailman/pythonlib/email/Utils.py", line 337, in decode_params charset, language, value = decode_rfc2231(EMPTYSTRING.join(value)) File "/mail/mailman/pythonlib/email/Utils.py", line 284, in decode_rfc2231 charset, language, s = parts ValueError: unpack list of wrong size ======================================================== In pouring over the archives, Mark Shapiro wrote (in response to someone with the same problem): Other lists aren't having a problem because it's probably caused by one particular list member with a pathological MUA. And that this is related to the "scrubbing of attachments" for the digest or archives. But no one on this list is using the digest feature and archiving is turned off. Plus the user in question (the one sending the message) is using a generic webmail client, the same one many of our users employ, with no special character set or language options (that I can see anyway). Any ideas? Would an upgrade to 2.1.7 resolve this problem (I only say that because I perused the Mailman mailing list in reverse order from present date, and this issue was never raised again by anyone after 2.1.6 came out). Thanks! - jim -

A glitch in Mailman??
by Tom Ray March 24, 2006

March 24, 2006

I'm running mailman on multiple sites (virtual mail server) and for each installation I configured it for the domain inquestion only. The last two installs that I did were with mailman 2.1.7 while the existing ones were with 2.1.6. It appears that the mailing lists for all the domains are working just fine but I'm running into a problem with the web site side of it all. All the domains installed with 2.1.7 are _not_ having any issues with the web interface. However, all the domains setup with 2.1.6 are not working. It claims there are no public lists to view and when I enter the list to view (per the page's instructions) I'm being told the list doesn't exist. It also says that the installed version is 2.1.7 Is there something I missed? I was under the impression that if I configured each domain seperately it would not be an issue. Do I need to run some sort of upgrade script on the sites using 2.1.6? TIA

Released: Mailman 2.1.8b1
by Tokio Kikuchi March 24, 2006

March 24, 2006

Hi Mailman-Users, -Developers and -i18ners, Mailman 2.1.8b1 was released for beta test. Talks are going around on the start of 2.2 after the release of 2.1.8 the final of 2.1-maint branch. I really want to call this final than beta but we should take careful steps. Please download it from Sourceforge file area: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103 Cheers, Tokio --------------------------------------------------- Here is a history of user visible changes to Mailman. 2.1.8b1 (23-Mar-2006) Bug fixes and other patches - Bouncers support added: 'unknown user', Microsoft SMTPSVC, Prodigy.net and several others. - Updated email library to 2.5.7 which will encode payload into qp/base64 upon setting. This enabled backing out the scrubber related patches including 'X-Mailman-Scrubbed' header in 2.1.7. - Fix SpamDetect.py potential hold/reject loop problem. - A warning message from email package to the stderr can cause error in Logging because stderr may be detached from the process during the qrunner run. We chose not to output errors to stderr but to the logs/error if the process is running under mailmanctl subprocess. - DKIM header cleansing was separated from Cleanse.py and added to -owner messages too. - Fixes: Lose Topics when go directly to topics URL (1194419). UnicodeError running bin/arch (1395683). edithtml.py missing import (1400128). Bad escape in cleanarch. Wrong timezone in list archive index pages (1433673). bin/arch fails with TypeError (1430236). Subscription fails with some Language combinations (1435722). Postfix delayed notification not recognized (863989). 2.1.7 (VERP) mistakes delay notice for bounce (1421285). show_qfiles: 'str' object has no attribute 'as_string' (1444447). Utils.get_domain() wrong if VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW off (1275856). Miscellaneous - Brad Knowles' mailman daily status report script updated to 0.0.16. -- Tokio Kikuchi, tkikuchi@ is.kochi-u.ac.jp http://weather.is.kochi-u.ac.jp/

would it be useful to modify this code.
by daniel trejo March 24, 2006

March 24, 2006

Im trying to modify Decorate.py so I can put a <img src=> html tag So far ive modified the handler Decorate.py so all messages are multipart ( I know Its not recommended but Im quite desperate) I want to modify this part of Decorate.py so it doesnt convert the header to plain text ; I ve tried deleting the 'plain' in the function MIMEText but nothing changes, somy question is if Im on the right track or it doesnt have anything to do with this part? # Now, play games with the outer message to make it contain three # subparts: the header (if any), the wrapped message, and the footer (if # any). payload = [inner] if header: mimehdr =MIMEText( header, lcset) mimehdr['Content-Disposition'] = 'inline' payload.insert(0, mimehdr) if footer: mimeftr = MIMEText(footer, 'plain', lcset) mimeftr['Content-Disposition'] = 'inline' payload.append(mimeftr) msg.set_payload(payload) del msg['content-type'] del msg['content-transfer-encoding'] del msg['content-disposition'] msg['Content-Type'] = 'multipart/mixed'

Hi, I want to be able to hold several lists with the same listname in differnt domans. Therefor I have to install mailman serveral times on the same machine. Could someone tell me if it might cause some problems if they are all owned by one user mailman. (for example collisions with all those wrapper programms) Thanks a lot Thomas
