I keep receiving this error and cannot determine why. Can someone help me?

Continuing problem
by Dave Filchak March 21, 2006

March 21, 2006

OK .. I am having a hell of a time trying to get this working so would very much appreciate a helping hand from someone with more experience with Mailman than I. Here is what I want to happen: I want to have a one-way list (Newsletter). I have set this up so that everyone is moderated and I have three email address in the moderators and admin slots. All of these users are members of the list. I want to be able to send an email from one of the admin or moderator users to listname(a)clientdomain.com. clientdomain.com is not the same domain as the servers but it is a domain we host web and mail for. Here is what I have so far: The list is set up on the secondary mail server. The list set up went without a hitch and Mailman emailed me the following aliases to add to the aliases file, which I did and ran newaliases. turningpoints: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post turningpoints" turningpoints-admin: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman admin turningpoints" turningpoints-bounces: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces turningpoints" turningpoints-confirm: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman confirm turningpoints" turningpoints-join: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman join turningpoints" turningpoints-leave: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman leave turningpoints" turningpoints-owner: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman owner turningpoints" turningpoints-request: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman request turningpoints" turningpoints-subscribe: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe turningpoints" turningpoints-unsubscribe: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe turningpoints" I also added to the alias file on the main mail server, the following: turningpoints: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post turningpoints" turningpoints-admin: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman admin turningpoints" turningpoints-bounces: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces turningpoints" turningpoints-confirm: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman confirm turningpoints" turningpoints-join: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman join turningpoints" turningpoints-leave: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman leave turningpoints" turningpoints-owner: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman owner turningpoints" turningpoints-request: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman request turningpoints" turningpoints-subscribe: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe turningpoints" turningpoints-unsubscribe: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe turningpoints" so that when sending to the clients domain, the main server did not reject the user as unknown. No matter what I do, when I send an email to either turningpoints(a)secondarymailserver.net or turningpoints(a)clientdomain.net, I receive a bounce message saying that only admins are allowed to post to the list, of which the email I sent the original post from is a member. I have even tried removing the moderated bit for that particular email address with the same result. What the hell am I missing?? TIA Dave

If it is a moderated member, it will get the same member_moderation_notice as any other moderated member. The fact that it's an owner is irrelevant. >Not >sure what is up with that Did you read the post at <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2006-March/050053.html> and the FAQs it references? >but as far as the alias on the main mail >server, would just be a normal: > > list list(a)secondarymail.com > >type of alias? I suppose it might depend on the MTA, but I think that plus the other 9 list-* addresses. The alternative is just to publicize the list(a)secondarymail.com addresses if they work from outside. -- Mark Sapiro <msapiro(a)value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Automated subscription off AD, or a 3rd party application/output

Hi All, Is there something ready made for this sort of job? Otherwise I thought maybe a script that scp's a flat file over from the remote app and runs it into a list.... Regards Steven

No mail going out to list members
by Michael Rainey March 21, 2006

March 21, 2006

Mailman 2.1.4 I have looked at 3.14. Troubleshooting: No mail going out to lists members but most if it I do not understand, sorry. I have two lists, Ist list is not moderated, all working OK 2nd list is one way announcement, no mail going out except notifications (subscribe, unsubscribe, bounces) which are OK To attempt to make up for my lack of knowledge re FAQ 3.14 I have looked in my mail log For 1st list which is OK for successful use this date I find: sendmail[3924]: k2L070dX003912: to="|/var/mailman/mail/mailman post MyListName", ctladdr=<My1stListName(a)Domain.name> (8/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, pri=40321, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent For 2nd list which is not OK I find lots of My2ndListName bounces but nothing showing sendmail to My2ndListName as above. I am unsuccessful with 2nd list regardless of whether I use password or mod flag off for myself. I was hoping someone might be able to narrow down the FAQ 3.14 possibilities else I am totally lost. Thank you, Michael Rainey

A wee bit of help
by Dave Filchak March 21, 2006

March 21, 2006

Hello all, I need just a wee bit of help. I have just set up Mailman on my secondary mail server host and the installation all is well I believe. I am trying to set the list so that it is in the form of list(a)somedomain.com. This domain is a domain that we host both web and mail for. However, I can see an issue with this in that if I send an email to the list using list(a)somedomain.com, the email will go to my main mail server which does not have this list on it, nor does it have the user list or list-bounces, nor any of the other required users for the list to operate properly. I have all the required aliases on my secondary mail server but do I need some sort of alias in my file on the main mail server to point these emails back to the secondary server? I get a user unknown error for the user lists and of course lists-bounce when I send an email to it. By the way, I am also trying to set this up as a one way or newsletter list. If I send an email to lists(a)actualhostname.com, I get a "Sorry, only the site administrator can post to this list." which means I am communicating with the new list, although I should not be getting this message as the email I sent it through is in the admin list on Mailman. Any help with this would most sincerely be appreciated. TIA Dave

Moving of website
by Tom Wills March 21, 2006

March 21, 2006

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!

Approving large messages results in MemoryError
by Peter Veerman March 21, 2006

March 21, 2006

Hi, I'm Running mailman 2.1.7 on gentoo. When i want to approve a message which needs for some reason my approval (e.g. from a wrong adress or sent BCC) i "hit a bug". It seems that it does not give any problems when the message to be approved is very small.... But when an attachment is included mailman hits a bug. Very funny is that i can still discard the message only that is not what i want. What can i do to get rid of this annoying error?
