Limiting the number of Mailman processes
by Amardeo Sarma May 6, 2006

May 6, 2006

Hi, with some UNIX FreeBSD VPS versions, I have had problems with mail delivery for moderately large lists (~300). Apparently the problem is that the maximum number of processes for some systems are limited (e.g. to 75). Is there any Mailman setting that can limit the maximum number of processes that Mailman can spawn in parallel to allow large lists to be used on systems with a limited maximum number of processes? I am using Mailman 2.1.5. Amardeo -- Amardeo Sarma sarma(a)gwup.org

Re: [Mailman-Users] One mail-list does not archive

Folks, Pls ignore my message. I realized that the alias for the mail-list was pointing to the wrong server. I corrected that, and everythign is fine. Brad, thanks for sharing your experience. I will know what to look if I run into this similar problem.

Re: [Mailman-Users] moderator login can access admin pages
by The League CA Cities May 5, 2006

May 5, 2006

Brad i completely understand your explaination, but my current lists have two passwords one for the admin and one for my moderators. When a moderator logins they can click on the link at the bottom to go to admin pages and it will bring up the admin section without prompting for a password. I am not asking if this is possible because my current lists are setup this way I am asking how do i recreate this for my new lists.

FC5 genaliases problem
by Michael McAndrew May 5, 2006

May 5, 2006

Hi there, I'm configuring mailman from a clean standard FC5 installation using Postfix as the MTA. I have checked that the POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD and POSTFIX_MAP_CMD variables are set correctly in Defaults.py. They are ... POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD = '/usr/sbin/postalias' POSTFIX_MAP_CMD = '/usr/sbin/postmap' But as soon as I add the line ... MTA = 'Postfix' ... to my mm_cfg.py and run bin/genaliases, I get the following error. Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/genaliases", line 116, in ? … [View More]

virtual domains and processes
by Craig Pettersen May 5, 2006

May 5, 2006

Hi, I really like mailman's features but I have a couple questions about virtual domains and mailman. I read that to have unique list names accross domains it's necessary to have separate installations for each domain. We run email for around 600 domains. Not all have lists but even if we had only 100 we would have 800 qrunner processes running. What kind of resources will all those processes use? Is there any way around this problem? Is there anyone out there with experience with … [View More]
