Mailman 3 July 2007 - Mailman-Users

unsupported operand type(s)

Hello, I have been using mailman without any problem for the last year. However, today when I tried to post to a subscriber only list I first had a problem that Mailman contacted MTA on a IPv6 address. This resulted in exim rejecting relay attempts from Mailman. I corrected this and then sent again. However out of 650 people on the list only two subscribers got sent the message (as seen from MTA logs). I thought that maybe bounce score was bumped up for the list members and I unsubscribed all of them and then subscribed again. My last action was to re-send the same message to the list. And again only two people recevied it. There is no no-mail option turned on for the members. They should all be getting it as they have always had. When I look into mailman error log, I can see some errors. I am not sure if they have anything in common with my situation. I'd appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks!

Mass subscribe required for single user?

If I want to subscribe just one user via the web interface, do I still need to use "Mass Subscribe"? -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology. We feel that resistance to new ideas and technology is unwise and ultimately futile.

The mailman/bin directory on the old server does not contain a dumpdb script however, I just realized that it may be due to the fact that someone may have deleted it and not that there was no such script for Mailman 1.0. Will a dumpdb script from a newer version of Mailman work on the old 1.0 version? -- We've Got Your Name at http://www.mail.com! Get a FREE E-mail Account Today - Choose From 100+ Domains

Migrating from 1.0 to 2.1.9

I've inherited another ancient Mailman 1.0 server running Solaris 7. I have built a new Solaris 10 box to replace it. I'm not even going to attempt upgrading this thing. I plan on doing the following: 1) Create the same lists on the new server 2) Export the users from the old lists 3) Import the users into the new lists 4) Copy the listname.mbox files from the old server to the new server 5) Run "bin/cleanarch listname" and "bin/arch --wipe listname" to regenerate each list archive 6) Manually set the list password and security settings for each list My question is this; Since Mailman 1.0 does not appear to have a dumpdb command, how can I get a dump of the list config for each Mailman 1.0 list? I'm trying to figure out a way to minimize the manual work associated with step 6. -- We've Got Your Name at http://www.mail.com! Get a FREE E-mail Account Today - Choose From 100+ Domains

mailman cannot send messages
by Geo 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

Thanks for help... FreeBSD 6.2, after installed mailman from port /usr/ports/mail/mailman Apache is OK...but sendmail cannot work with mailman...I created list (named "mailman"), but mailman replies for attempt to send message by the way: ----------------------------------------- The original message was received at Mon, 30 Jul 2007 02:00:40 +0400 (MSD) from localhost [127.0.0.1] ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman" (reason: 2) (expanded from: <mailman(a)bind9.cit.ru>) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as group "mailman", but the system's mail server executed the mail script as group "mailnull". Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group "mailman", or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=mailnull'. 554 5.3.0 unknown mailer error 2 ------------------------------------- >From post-installation instructions we can see: "you have to choose SENDMAIL option on config build and port will set MAIL_GID=mailnull to you", but makefile in port containes :".if defined(WITH_SENDMAIL)... MAIL_GID? mailnull .endif" May be it's not enough

help please

Hello, I have the website www.sevensorrows.com <http://www.sevensorrows.com/> and it is hosted through superuser.net. I am going to transfer to a new host, but I am afraid of losing your service and all of my contacts. Is there a way to save them? I don't even know my username and password with you because I just login from the link on the my server control panel. I know that my list is called SevenSorrowsMailingList and my password is ignatius, but that doesn't login on your site. Do I have a different username on your site? Thank you God Bless You, Mike Grothem - Seven Sorrows Catholic Band www.SevenSorrows.com "and you yourself a sword shall pierce..." Luke 2:35

Moderation and Whitelisting
by Derek J. Balling 28 Jul '07

28 Jul '07

Is there any way to have *one concise* place for "Who is able to send to a list"? We have some campus-wide lists. Sometimes the people who can send to them are members of the list. Sometimes they're not. Sometimes they are members and then later vanish from the list automatically, even though they still have the right to post to them (e.g., if they move from one building to another, but they are able to send to all the auto-populated building-specific mailing lists). This whole "having to look to see if they're a member, in which case we want to turn off their mod bit, otherwise, go and manually add them to the whitelist" routine, well, frankly it sucks. Ideal would be to have the value of "accept_these_nonmembers" also work if the person listed is a member (and maybe someday simply call it "accept_these_posters_always" or something like that). Has anyone either [a] figured out some cool function of Mailman that we're missing, or [b] come up with an easy hack to mailman to allow it to use that value for member posters as well as nonmember?

grouping users?
by Gerardo Herzig 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Hi all. Here is the situation: We have one list who have ppl who speak 4 diff languages. I wonder if there is a method to `group' those members by "native language" in order to send a different email for each of this groups. Mi common sense says 'off course you cant, you idiot, make 4 differents lists!', but...you never know.... Thanks! Gerardo

Web interface problem with HTTPS
by Andreas Németh 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Hi, I try to ensure HTTPS communication for the $prefix/admin and $prefix/ private directories. Normal HTTP works fine, so I assume my configuration of mailman should be ok. Here the apache configuration: ScriptAlias /mailman /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin <Location /mailman> SetHandler cgi-script Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks Order allow,deny Allow from all <IfModule rewrite_module> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$ RewriteRule admin.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R] RewriteRule private.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R] </IfModule> This works fine too, the URIs being properly rewritten. Now here's my problem: I can't change any settings anymore if these settings are active, the web interface responds normally, anyhow. Any ideas would be much appreciated! Greetings, Andreas Nemeth

this is an open problem: does every elliptiptic surface with characteristic p can be lifted to an elliptic surface with zero characteristic ? no because every fibre of a elliptice surface is a an algebraic ariety with dimension = 1 if f * is a lifting for f in this case pf*=f and f* =composition inverse image po f so that for every x_0 : inverse image p(0)= pai(X;x_0) if we consider to progective plane in this cardinal of inverse image p(0) =infinity and aand pai(n-projective plane)=n this is a direct countre example for this problem.
