Site list is missing: mailman. List exists
by Zietlow, Rob May 25, 2006

May 25, 2006

Hello List, I'm running into some issues with running mailman on my system. I repeatedly get the error message "Starting mailman: Site List is missing: mailman" I have verified this exists, I have removed the list and added the list via command line & web interface but still get this error message. I have followed the FAQ steps listed for this particular message but I haven't gotten mailman to start up. Any insights into this would be appreciated. Below are the steps I have taken. … [View More]Thank you Rob [root@maillist2 mailman]# ./bin/rmlist mailman Not removing archives. Reinvoke with -a to remove them.

Mailman and Sendmail debugging questions
by Daniel, Barry K. May 25, 2006

May 25, 2006

Some background: Machine A has Sun JES Messenger 6.2 running as the main mail server that points to the outside world. I have installed the mailmanWrapper.pl program to interface Messenger with Mailman. Machine B has the Mailman 2.1.8 installation, the JES Web Server, and Sendmail. I have two problems. First, if I create a new list via command line I cannot edit it via the web interface. I execute the command line as the "mailman" user and the web is executed as the "webservd" user. I … [View More]

Install issues
by Defryn, Guy May 24, 2006

May 24, 2006

Hi there, I am new to mailman/postfix and this is my first post. We are looking at replacing majordomo/sendmail. I don't know anything about that either :-) I managed to install postfix on a FreeBSD box and replace sendmail. I was able to send mail on the local server and everywhere else. So far so good. I installed mailman and got the web interface to work. I managed to create some lists, subscribed some users etc. Originally they received the message to confirm etc. Everything seemed fine … [View More]

How do I make 'username' appear in the 'from' field instead of email addy?
by Teresa＠MiCleft.org May 24, 2006

May 24, 2006

I'm fairly new to Mailman. I know that I can have the subscribers email addresses appear in the 'from' field AND I know how to make it completely unknown to other members by having it 1 'from' name across the board. I'm having a problem with subscribers sending messages without any signature. I've reminded them to sign their name. They don't like the idea of everyone knowing their email addresses. How do I make the global change to display the USERNAME in the 'from' field of messages, … [View More]

What does the following Mailman Error Suggest?
by Odhiambo Washington May 24, 2006

May 24, 2006

This is probably a stupid question to ask, but after looking at the doco for too long today playing with Mailman-2.1.8, I just cannot see clearly anymore. My MTA is already configured on the test box. However, when I create a new list, the mail to listadmin does not get there, and does not show on my MTA's log file. I have tracked the possible cause to log/smtp-error for Mailman: <cut> May 23 23:32:07 2006 (15435) delivery to wash(a)wananchi.com failed with code -1: (8, 'hostname nor … [View More]

changing hostname
by Anne Ramey May 23, 2006

May 23, 2006

I changed my hostname from the time I first installed mailman. For the most part, the transition went smoothly, but we still have a few traces I'd like to get rid of. The host name this list prefers for email has taken care of most of it, just not the web interface: To see the list of lists, the lists made on the old hostname are at http://oldhost.name/mailman/admin/ and the new ones are at http://newhost.name/mailman/admin/ Now, the individual lists can all be reached at http://… [View More]

DKIM/DK-milter with Mailman
by SM May 23, 2006

May 23, 2006

Hi, I tested Mailman 2.1.8 with dkim-milter 0.4.1 and dk-milter 0.3.4. The server running Mailman signs all outgoing mail and inserts DKIM-Signature and DomainKey-Signature headers. Incoming mail verifies successfully. Mail sent by Mailman fails DomainKeys/DKIM verification at the subscriber's end because of the Authentication-Results: header inserted when the subscriber's posting is DKIM/DomainKeys signed. The workaround is to configure Mailman as follows: Change the Mailman/… [View More]

Batch member attributes
by Benjamin Roger May 23, 2006

May 23, 2006

Hello everyone, I am somewhat desperate - I need a few people to be able to post on about 80 lists (cascaded) here, without moderation (moderation being the default setting for members). I think that to achieve this, I need to add them as members - and then change their attributes, so they're not moderated, and do *not* receive mails (80 times...). Adding them shouldn't be that much of a problem, with the add_members script. But I wonder about changing the attributes. Is there a way, via … [View More]
