How to allow just members to post?
by ||NeX|| June 25, 2006

June 25, 2006

Hello, I have a mailinglist with 10 members and I want to let them send all they want (this I think I know how to do), but there are coming some spam mails in my filter and I have to delete them manually. How can I manage that all mails which aren't send from any member are being discarded automaticly? Thanks in forward, Nex -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-allow-just-members-to-post--t1845923.html#a503… Sent from the Mailman - Users forum at Nabble.com.

With mailman installed, normal e-mail addressen on same host bounce
by Edwin Martin June 24, 2006

June 24, 2006

Hello, I'm trying to get Mailman running on a Debian host with Exim 4. After I set up the router and transport for exim as described in the installation manual, mailman does work (the mailman webpages show info about the mailinglist) but sending an e-mail to accounts on the same machine bounces. The error message is: "local delivery failed". Disabling the router and transport for Exim makes everything (except mailman) work again. These are the Exim config files: /etc/exim4/conf.d/router/900_exim4-config_mailman: mailman_router: driver = accept require_files = /var/lib/mailman/lists/nieuwsbrief/config.pck local_part_suffix_optional local_part_suffix = -bounces : -bounces+* : \ -confirm+* : -join : -leave : \ -owner : -request : -admin transport = mailman_transport /etc/exim4/conf.d/transport/40_exim4-config_mailman: mailman_transport: driver = pipe command = /var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman \ '${if def:local_part_suffix \ {${sg{$local_part_suffix}{-(\\w+)(\\+.*)?}{\$1}}} \ {post}}' \ $local_part current_directory = /var/lib/mailman home_directory = /var/lib/mailman user = list group = list Can anybody please help me?

Batch delete admin requests
by Bill Whitacre June 24, 2006

June 24, 2006

I'm using Mailman 2.1.2 on a Mac OS X Server. Is there a way to batch delete a slew of admin requests without having to click the 'Discard' radio button on each and every one? Yes, I would LOVE to update to a newer version but I am not sure what 'special' things Apple has done on their 'stock' install of Mailman on Server. Thanks for any help. bw --- Bill Whitacre bw(a)his.com

Mailman and fault tolerance
by Antonio Dragone June 23, 2006

June 23, 2006

Hi! I have a mailing list of members subscribed to an e-news letter. Yesterday in the morning I started the letter delivery but in the evening someone shut down the mailman server. Today in the morning I started the server again and I found about 400 e-mails in the sendmail queue. Is there some way to know if mailman could send the rest of letters (about 11.000 email addresses)? I know by experience that Mailman doesn't deliver the 11k emails at once but in groups of 50 addresses (more or less depending of server response). Has mailman some kind of fault tolerance to resume an incomplete job? Thank you all! Antonio

Mailman only sending out some messages...
by Jamie Glendinning June 23, 2006

June 23, 2006

Hi Our paragliding club has a webhosting setup using cpanel. We are using the mailman mailing list service to attempt to run a mailing list to all our users. mailman version: 2.1.7.cp2 Most mails are going out - but randomly mails are going missing. all mail appear in the mailman archive. all mail info is sent out in digest mode. we have been getting a large amount of bounced message count on most accounts withing mailman. we have about 270 addresses on the list. my feeling is that the mailgateway/mta struggles to cope with mailman firing all the messages at it - it bounces messages back to mailman which then increases that users bounce count. eventually locking them out. as the server is using cpanel - I can't seem to see any log files... has anyone seen this issue before or has any suggestions as to how I can resolve/help my isp resolve the issue? cheers jamie

Uncaught runner exception: unknown encoding: gb2312
by Reinhard Proessler June 22, 2006

June 22, 2006

Hello Some users reports that emails from a Chinese customer do not reach the recipients from a list. The mails reach our system, where stored in the archive folder, but not forwarded to the list member. I took a look to the mailman error log and found (only) this entry: ------------ Jun 21 16:15:46 2006 (29723) Uncaught runner exception: unknown encoding: gb2312 Jun 21 16:15:46 2006 (29723) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 111, in _oneloop self._onefile(msg, msgdata) File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 167, in _onefile keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py", line 130, in _dispose more = self._dopipeline(mlist, msg, msgdata, pipeline) File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py", line 153, in _dopipeline sys.modules[modname].process(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/CookHeaders.py", line 74, in process prefix_subject(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/CookHeaders.py", line 262, in prefix_subject h.append(s, c) File "/usr/src/build/717258-i386/install/var/mailman/pythonlib/email/Header.py", line 285, in append LookupError: unknown encoding: gb2312 Jun 21 16:15:46 2006 (29723) SHUNTING: 1150899346.6632681+54941ca3c4ce38e3aedfa9e82e393150283d78ff ------------ It seems to be that the reason is an unknown encoding: gb2312 I searched in the Internet and mailing-lists and found only a hint to install Chinesecodecs. But after applying these ChineseCodecs-1.1.0p to python site-packages with python installer the problem still exists. Any suggestions, experiences or hints with this problem? Kind Regards RPr
