Mailman and Exim on Fedora Core 5 doesn't appear to deliver mails?

Hi, I'm currently having a problem with Mailman 2.1.8 and Exim 4.62 on the 64-bit version of Fedora Core 5. Exim is set up as per the Exim+Mailman FAQ on www.exim.org, and everything appears to be working fine from Exim's point of view: Jun 22 14:59:37 shinobu exim[15144]: 2006-06-22 14:59:37 1FtPib-0003wG-Eo <= cjn503(a)york.ac.uk H=mail-gw2.york.ac.uk [144.32.128.247] P=esmtp S=1062 id=005a01c69604$0c6bba20$f51110ac@chiyo Jun 22 14:59:37 shinobu exim[15145]: 2006-06-22 14:59:37 1FtPib-… [View More]

Assumably, they're not maliciously concealing their names, it's just laziness. P.S., please CC the list on all replies -- - Patrick Bogen

Patrick, > You should only need to check the Defaults.py and mm_cfg.py to make > sure you're using hostnames and not IP addresses. I found our hostnames in Defaults.py: DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'our_hostname' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'our_hostname' I didn't find any hostnames in mm_cfg.py file. I also didn't find our host IP address in both Defaults.py and mm_cfg.py. So it looked like we were using hostnames and not IP addresses. By the way, is it normal not find any hostnames in the mm_cfg.… [View More]

by Uthra Rao June 22, 2006

June 22, 2006

In mailman mailing list is there a way to have standard "note" to appear in all the postings of a mailing list? I was not sure if in the admin page -> digest option -> "footer added to every digest" is the box where I need to enter my notes if I want it to show up in every postings of that mailing list? If you know of another way doing this please let me know. I would really appreciate your help. Thank You. UR.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman archives

From the admin web page of the list I am able to see the archives but if I login to the system and cd to /usr/lib/mailman/archives/public I don't see anything. I would like to know in which directory it is archiving the messages? Thank You.

Confirm messages not getting to any COMCAST.NET email addresses
by Rob Stewart June 22, 2006

June 22, 2006

The Mailman Confirm message, either created due to an Admin Invite, or via a user join request are not getting thru to any Comcast.net email addresses. Messages sent to Comcast.net email also fail, so I guess it is all messages. Anyone have any ideas? Rob Stewart No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
