ImportError: No module named ldap
by Mike Rosile July 27, 2007

July 27, 2007

I'm trying to write to implement LDAPMemberships v3 using Mailman v2.1.9, but I keep getting an error in the Mailman error log that says "ImportError: No module named ldap". For the record, I can import 'ldap' (aka python-ldap) from a regular python script (from the command line). I know Mailman uses a cgi wrapper for python, could this be part of the problem? Any help would greatly be appreciated! Below is some relevant output from /var/log/mailman/error, if you need additional info, please let me know.

Controlling (name and) address change of list members?
by Jost Krieger July 27, 2007

July 27, 2007

One of our list owners tries to keep tabs on his list members for a somewhat sensitive list. Everyone has to send some info when subscribing. Now he notices anyone can change his address (and/or name) without the list owner even being informed. Or is this an effect of still running 2.1.6? Jost -- | Helft Spam ausrotten!

Disable / Enable Mailinglist
by David J. Barrus July 26, 2007

July 26, 2007

Is there a way to disable the mailinglist after my client sends out an e-mail and then re-enable it when they want to send out another one? Here's the problem: After my client sends out an e-mail through their mailinglist, occasionally one or two recipients reply to it and their message goes out to everyone on the list. Maybe I need to change something in the General Options. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, David

mailman w/ fedora 7
by Tamakh July 26, 2007

July 26, 2007

I'm having a problem with only external email servers trying to send to my list. I can send email to the listserv list from the same box, but not outside. I keep getting the following error that I'm guessing either sendmail or something else on the box is blocking: Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently: test(a)myurlhere.com <test(a)listserv.bloomfield.org> Technical details of permanent failure: PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 13): 550 No such user. Any ideas please? Thanks! -Tam

Folks, Has anyone seen this error before? I just started receiving this error message on my list server. This is only happening to one of my lists and keeping users from receiving mail. All mails sent to the list is queued in the list/digest.mbox file. I will appreciate any feedback on this issue.

Unmoderated Posts Not Allowed
by Janis Neville July 25, 2007

July 25, 2007

I have run into an odd problem with one mailing list belonging to a client. The client has many lists but we have not seen this behavior before. I have also set up a test list with them and have duplicated their settings and cannot reproduce the behavior. Details: Mailman ver. 2.1.5. Installation unknown, probably source. OS version is RHEL 4.0, 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp. MTA is postfix. The list is set up to make announcements, so all members are moderated except the one making announcements. The announcer and one other list member are set up as administrators and moderators. First time the announcer tried to post to the list, her post needed approval. The issue was looked at and it became clear that at that time she was not a list member, even though she was an administrator and a moderator. She was added to the list membership and set to not be moderated. The issue was thought resolved. Recently she made another announcement post to the list and it was again held for approval. We have looked through the settings in the admin panel and can find no reason why it would be held for approval. The announcer was still unmoderated and emergency moderation had not been enabled. The email did have a Word doc attached. I tested with my test list and Word doc attachments did go through, so I don't think it is blocking all Word docs. I also used my test list to try a settings change which I thought might help. I set all members to be moderated and made a few posts with Approved: [admin password] in either the subject line or the first line of the email, but these emails were all held for approval. I am hoping you can give me a lead where to look for fixing the moderated posts problem.

Uncaught bounce notification - Out-of-Office
by Barry Finkel July 24, 2007

July 24, 2007

I, as co-owner of a Mailman 2.1.9 list, received this message: Subject: Uncaught bounce notification The attached message was received as a bounce, but either the bounce format was not recognized, or no member addresses could be extracted from it. This mailing list has been configured to send all unrecognized bounce messages to the list administrator(s). ... From: user(a)example.com ... I will be out of my office from Monday July 23 till Wednesday July 25. I will get back to you as soon as possible. Are there plans for Mailman to be able to intercept out-of-office replies and ignore them? Or is the format of the text too variable to be able to parse the OOO message? The text says "or no member addresses could be extracted from it", but the recipient's address is clearly in the "From:" line of the mail sent back to LISTNAME-bounces. These OOO messages should not increase the recipient's bounce score. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Barry S.
