OT: Firefox Crashing on Admin Pages
by Kenneth Jacker Jan. 18, 2007

Jan. 18, 2007

I'm using firefox-1.5.0.9 on an up-to-date Kubuntu system with mailman-2.1.5-9. Suddenly (maybe a week or so ago), 'firefox' began and continues *crashing* immediately after I enter the "admin page" URL for all of my lists ... I've searched around and found some alleged "work arounds" (removing certain files, not using retained passwords, etc.), but it still won't work. Anyone else seeing this? Is there a *real* "fix"? Thanks for any help, -Kenneth -- Prof Kenneth H Jacker khj(a)cs.appstate.edu Computer Science Dept www.cs.appstate.edu/~khj Appalachian State Univ Boone, NC 28608 USA

Mailman's root path or where to place images
by Henrik Rasmussen Jan. 18, 2007

Jan. 18, 2007

I currently have my mailman icons in an /icons directory relative to Apache's root directory. Example: Icons is in /var/www/icons/ and the source http path to the icons is http://server.xxx.yyy.zz/icons/ In order to put the server behind a proxy server, I need to change the directory to http://server.xxx.yyy.zz/mailman/icons/ By changing the variable IMAGE_LOGOS = '/icons/' to IMAGE_LOGOS = 'icons/' in the file /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py the http path is seemly relative to Mailman's root http://server.xxx.yyy.zz/mailman/icons/ which I suppose should be /usr/lib/mailman/icons/ ,but moving the image file /usr/lib/mailman/icons/ still results in a missing image. My question is, where Mailman's root directory is suppose to be, or rather which directory on the server correspond to http://server.xxx.yyy.zz/mailman/icons/? Henrik

template variables ???
by Tommy Braun Jan. 17, 2007

Jan. 17, 2007

Hi, is there a detailed documentation about the template variables that are available for ALL the mailman files? As I found there seem to be several formats and ideas of how to write template variables, all different in the mail confirmation files, html and configuration interface....??? E.g. ownere-Mail does not work in the subscribeack.txt file. hmmm... Thank you very much for your attention! Tommy

Emergency mail to everyone?
by Paul Tomblin Jan. 17, 2007

Jan. 17, 2007

My wife is asking what she needs to do with all my servers if i'm incapacitated or dead. One of the things that would need to be turned over to somebody else are all my mailman lists. And so one thing i'm looking at would be a way to send an announcement to all the lists on my server. I understand that you can send mail to a list with an x-approved with the list password, but can you do the same with the admin password? ___ Sent with SnapperMail www.snappermail.com

From header
by Josh Baird Jan. 17, 2007

Jan. 17, 2007

Hi all, Is there a way to add a name to the From: header of the email? Instead of most email clients (Outlook, etc) simply stating the username of the email address, I would like our users to see "From: Our Company's Newsletter <news(a)blah.com>." Thanks, Josh Baird

Mailman Update...
by maillists Jan. 17, 2007

Jan. 17, 2007

Hi, I am about to do an update from Mailman 2.1.1 to 2.1.9 This is on an older RedHat 9 box. My Python version is 2.2.2 I believe that Mailman is installed via RPM. when I run "rpm qa |grep mailman" I get the following: mailman-2.1.1-5 My mailman "home" directory is /var/mailman I also have files in /var/log/mailman, /var/spool/mailman/ I basically have some questions and need moral support before I do this... I have lots of files in: /var/mailman/qfiles/shunt/ ans also /var/mailman/qfiles/bad/ What should I do with these? Were these old email messages that were never delivered? (I did have a problem with one of my lists not sending mail...) I downloaded the tarball of 2.1.9. the UPGRADE file said that the "upgrade" script would automatically run. Does this mean tht I should just do the ./configure thing as if this is a new install? Does this take care of everything? Finally is there anything that I should watch out for, or does anybody see if I might be heading for disaster? Thanks! rick

Low level smtp error
by Patrick Franz Jan. 17, 2007

Jan. 17, 2007

Hi, I'm running a Debian Sarge machine with Exim 4.50 and I recently installed Mailman 2.1.5. The installation itself went without any bigger problems. I can create lists now, I can manage them and I can send mails to those lists. Those mails land in the archive as they should, but they don't get delivered to the subscribers. A look at /var/log/mailman/smtp-failure gives the following: Jan 16 17:12:32 2007 (9353) Low level smtp error: (111, 'Connection refused'), msgid: <Pine.LNX.4.62.0701161320080.17052(a)xxxxxxxxx.de> Jan 16 17:12:32 2007 (9353) Low level smtp error: please run connect() first, msgid: <Pine.LNX.4.62.0701161320080.17052(a)xxxxxxxxx.de> Jan 16 17:12:32 2007 (9353) delivery to footest(a)myotherdomain.de failed with code -1: please run connect() first Jan 16 17:12:32 2007 (9353) delivery to p200(a)mydomain2.de failed with code -1: (111, 'Connection refused') Both p200(a)mydomain2.de and footest(a)myotherdomain.de are subscribed to that list. Any suggestions ? Thx. === = ==== /#/\#\ /#/\#\ /#/ \#\ /#/ \#\ /#/ patrick \#\ /#/ @ \#\ /#/ malkin.de \#\
