by David Hláčik Nov. 23, 2007

Nov. 23, 2007

Hi to all, i am facing with a problems of installation mailman from original package for CentOS 5.0. I need to setup mailman to use as MTA Postfix with virtual domains. I have 2 virtual domains 'something.domain.com' 'something2.domain.com' something.domain.com belongs to FQDN of server running mailman Configuration of my mm_cfg.py add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) add_virtualhost('something2.domain.com','something2.domain.com') ######################################… [View More]######################## # Put YOUR site-specific configuration below, in mm_cfg.py . # # See Defaults.py for explanations of the values. # # Note - if you're looking for something that is imported from mm_cfg, but you # didn't find it above, it's probably in Defaults.py. MTA='Postfix' POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['something.domain.com',' something2.domain.com'] -------------- I ve generated default list mailman, set site password using mmsutepass. All i want is to properly generate virtual-mailman for postfix. The problem is adding a new mailinglist. When i will follow http://something2.domain.com/mailman/admin and will add new mailinglist called test for example after clicking on create mailinglist mailman will come up with a message Bug in Mailman version 2.1.9 We're sorry, we hit a bug! Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs. this is mailman error log : Nov 22 18:30:30 2007 admin(3098): @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ admin(3098): [----- Mailman Version: 2.1.9 -----] admin(3098): [----- Traceback ------] admin(3098): Traceback (most recent call last): admin(3098): File "/usr/lib/mailman/scripts/driver", line 101, in run_main admin(3098): main() admin(3098): File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/create.py", line 56, in main admin(3098): process_request(doc, cgidata) admin(3098): File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/create.py", line 238, in process_request admin(3098): sys.modules[modname].create(mlist, cgi=1) admin(3098): File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py", line 232, in create admin(3098): _update_maps() admin(3098): File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py", line 53, in _update_maps admin(3098): raise RuntimeError, msg % (acmd, status, errstr) admin(3098): RuntimeError: command failed: /usr/sbin/postalias /etc/mailman/aliases (status: 1, Operation not permitted) admin(3098): [----- Python Information -----] Thanks for helping me solving a problem.

I'm migrating a list from one site to another. Because of this, I want to disable new subscriptions on the old site. Is it possible? I didn't find any specific option to disable new subscriptions in the list admin interface. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org

Bounce handling for invalid owner adresses
by Sebastian Hagedorn Nov. 22, 2007

Nov. 22, 2007

Hi, we're using Mailman 2.1.9 for about 800 lists and or the most part we're very happy with it. However, with such a number of lists it's hard to keep track of lists that might not be used anymore. Sometimes we have lists with no subscribers, but more often we find that owner's addresses don't exist anymore. Currently Mailman just ignore bounces from owner addresses. I would like to see bounce handling foor those addresses similar to the existing regular bounce handling. One idea would … [View More]

Combining existing lists?
by Lev Lafayette Nov. 21, 2007

Nov. 21, 2007

Hey mailman people, I'm sure this is possible, but if anyone can point me to the requisite information it would be appreciated.. I have a number of lists. Due to the fact that there's a fair bit of crossover between them, I want to close down all but one of them. However I want to get the archives of the old lists and merge them with the list I want to keep. All the best, Lev

Nov. 21, 2007

Hi. I need to move a Mailman instance to a new server, and from a 2.1.5-8 (Debian Sarge) to 2.1.9-8 (Ubuntu Gutsy). In /var/lib there are a lot of pickle serialized data. What can be moved and how? I would like to copy the configuration for each list and the mailman state (to make sure not to lost some messages). Thanks Manlio Perillo

non-moderating administrator?
by Iain Buchanan Nov. 21, 2007

Nov. 21, 2007

Hi all, Firstly, I've searched the archives, and Google, and found nothing similar to this question (unfortunately, which means it probably isn't possible). Essentially I am the administrator for various local community mailing lists that I've set up. Each list has their own moderator(s) in the relevant area. I would like not to receive any "New subscription request" and similar emails, but rather have them go solely to the moderator (currently they go to both admin and mod). The number of … [View More]
