Question about the configure script.
by Ryan Steele June 22, 2006

June 22, 2006

List, I have a question about the options for the configure script. I'm upgrading an installation of Mailman to 2.1.8, but I'm not sure what the previous sysadmin configured for the --with-mail-gid option. He has apparently deleted the mailman-<version> directory, leaving only the target installation directory in his wake. Is there any other place besides the config.log that would yield the options fed to configure? If not explicitly, is there a way to extrapolate this simply … [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman and Qmail - Cannot connect via SMTP
by Douglas G. Phillips June 22, 2006

June 22, 2006

Just a followup on this that I forgot to add: Messages sent to the list are received by qmail and processed by mailman. They appear in the list archives, but they are not re-sent to the members of the mailing list. ----- Original Message ----- From: Douglas G.

[Fwd: Mailman User options page]
by Martin Dennett June 22, 2006

June 22, 2006

Hi Is there any way I can amend the HTML behind the page to force a field to be made mandatory? I'm thinking of the name field - once a user enters their options page, I would like them not to be able to leave it until they have filled their name in. I know it could be circumvented by just closing the browser window, but most of the users of my list wouldn't think of that ;-) Rgds Martin Dennett

Problem solved. Emptying out the shunt directory was all that I needed. Thank you for your help, I just inherited this box a week ago and haven't had time to look at the documentation much. -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Bogen [mailto:pdbogen@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, June 22, 2006 10:42 AM To: Patrick Kennedy Cc: Mailman-Users(a)python.org Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] UnpicklingError: pickle data was truncated On 6/22/06, Patrick Kennedy <patrickkennedy(a)education.state.… [View More]

New messages do it as well. I think. The data directory is empty. Where else could it be borked. Should qfiles/shunt be emptied out? -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Bogen [mailto:pdbogen@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, June 22, 2006 10:33 AM To: Patrick Kennedy Cc: mailman-users(a)python.org Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] UnpicklingError: pickle data was truncated On 6/22/06, Patrick Kennedy <patrickkennedy(a)education.state.vt.us> wrote: > the pending request GUI.

I did unshunt. Unshunt doesn't remove them, it reinjects them into the queue. Was this what you did? You want to actually 'rm' the various '.pck' files in e.g., /var/lib/mailman/qfiles/shunt/ (or, perhaps, they might not have made it to /shunt/. You can 'mv' *all* of the queue files away, and put … [View More]

June 22, 2006

Hi, We have a Mailman 2.1.5 server running on the Linux system. It is working well. Now we want to change the host IP address to another subnet address, but the hostname will not be changed. My question is: Should we do somthing on Mailman 2.1.5 related to the changing of host IP address? Thanks for your help, Mardin

After a server crash Mailman no longer starts up correctly on boot (which I can live with for now) and I get the following error on some messages. The message stay in the data directory but don't show up in the pending request GUI. Some messages work, others don't. Can someone tell me what this means?

RFC Header to Ignore Messages (dont send them to the list?)
by Harakiri June 22, 2006

June 22, 2006

Hello, i wish to know if there is a header field or something similar to tell the mailinglist application to ignore a message send to them. I.e. sometimes automatic systems generate emails to email addresses - however they do not know whether the receiving email address is one entity (a user) or a group (a maillinglist) - if the second would be the case the message should be discarded. There is, in RFC 2156 a header by the name of "Autosubmitted" however - it seems to only apply to responses … [View More]
