It is easy to configure, compile and install multiple Mailman instances, one for each domain. In the current context of disk sizes, CPU and memory, the extra resource usage is insignficiant. I run the following script (edit for each domain desired, or create a script with substitutions) in the Mailman source directory, then make, and make install. ./configure --with-mail-gid=65533 --with-cgi-gid=www --with-mailhost=DomainName.ca --with-urlhost=www.DomainName.ca --prefix=/usr/local/mailman/DomainName --with-var-prefix=/var/mailman/Domainname (script may vary depending on your specific situation) Running multiple instances is only very slightly more work when the infrequent upgrade is required. But it allows me to try an upgrade on only one domain first, without putting all domains at risk.

same list name on 2 different domains
by Enzo 16 Jul '07

Hi I've configured mailman with my postfix server, i use mailman on 2 virtual hosts I can create list on both domains, but i can't create the same list with the same name on these 2 different domains for ex mylist(a)lists.domain1.org and mylist(a)lists.domain2.org I, in fact, create the first with: $newlist mylist(a)lists.domain1.org and the second with : $newlist mylist(a)lists.domain2.org But at this step, i get an error: "List already exists: mylist" Is it possible ? if yes how ?

Failures showing in the log file?
by Dennis Carr 16 Jul '07

16 Jul '07

OK, something I notice in my posts log is a message not entirely unlike the following: Jul 15 09:27:31 2007 (32571) post to list from user(a)wherever.com, size=5706, message-id=<redacted>, 557 failures Now, as time progresses, that "failures" number counts down, and ultimately, there is a "success" asociated with that number. sWhat, precisely, does this message mean? -Dennis Carr

Greetings, Thanks for any time you can give this problem. I just moved our Mailman lists to a new server. Accessing the listinfo and admin pages works fine. After creating a new list mail sent to that list is delivered. However mail set to the old lists, the ones that were moved to this server, is not delivered. I do however get moderation and bounce notices from those lists. I ran check_perms to see if there were any problems with permissions and got the following: file permissions must be at least 660: /var/lib/mailman/lists/ofap_mgrs/config.db (fixing) file permissions must be at least 660: /var/lib/mailman/lists/ofap_mgrs/config.db.last (fixing) file permissions must be at least 660: /var/lib/mailman/lists/python/config.db (fixing) file permissions must be at least 660: /var/lib/mailman/lists/python/config.db.last (fixing) file permissions must be at least 660: /var/lib/mailman/lists/python/next-digest (fixing) file permissions must be at least 660: /var/lib/mailman/lists/python/next-digest-topics (fixing) A second run showed no errors yet still not message being delivered when sent to the older lists. I also have this from the logs.

See <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-June/057487.html>. You can now run bin/unshunt to reprocess the shunted messages, but first look at the files in qfiles/shunt to make sure there aren't unwanted stale messages there. You can use bin/dumpdb or bin/show_qfiles (although there is a bug in 2.1.5 show_qfiles that affects some entries, but probably not these) to look at the individual *.pck files in qfiles/shunt and can just remove unwanted ones before running bin/unshunt. -- Mark Sapiro <msapiro(a)value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Format conversion
by Bill Suarez 15 Jul '07

15 Jul '07

Perhaps I've missed this in the doc's (but I don't think so). How can I configure Mailman to convert an HTML post into plain text? When a member post from Hotmail or Yahoo in HTML format I end up with a .html attachment and two .txt attachments (for the list header and footer) which makes it very difficult to read messages on portable devices. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Bill Suarez ________________________________________ WJSuarez - mailto:wsuarez@wsuarez.com http://www.wsuarez.com/

Re: [Mailman-Users] AOL's "Client TOS Notification"
by Krystal Zipfel 15 Jul '07

Remember, AOL is not the only "retarded" ISP out there. Working for a web hosting company, I see this happen all the time. AOL is notorious, but so is Comcast, Bellsouth, and Verizon (to name a few). but hey, if it wasn't for Spam and horrible ISP's that block everyone except themselves... think of how many jobs would be lost? :-) ----- Original Message ---- From: Larry Stone <lstone19(a)stonejongleux.com> To: Mailman <mailman-users(a)python.org> Sent: Saturday, July 14, 2007 5:51:18 PM Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] AOL's "Client TOS Notification" On 7/14/07 3:53 PM, Dave Dewey at ddewey(a)cyberthugs.com wrote: > Quoting Ralf Hildebrandt (Ralf.Hildebrandt(a)charite.de): > >> * Rick Pasotto <rick(a)niof.net>: >> >>> I have recently been getting some of these from one of my mailing lists. >> >> Welcome to the wonderful world of AOL retards. >> >>> There is nothing in it (that I've been able to see) that would tell me >>> who the user is that is rejecting the email.

That's unfortunate. At this point, what's the point of getting them if they won't give you any useful information as to who doesn't want the list mail they requested. But it's always been clear that AOL assumes everyone outside is a spammer. They probably can't get their minds around the idea that some of their own customers subscribe to lists and then mark them as spam when they no longer want them rather than properly unsubscribing. And that we, as responsible list owners, want to get them off our lists. I know some will disagree but if it comes to it, then I just make it clear that I don't accept AOL users as subscribers. If they want to subscribe, they will have to do so from a "real" ISP. > Messageid still works, for whatever reason it's the one piece of > header info that isn't redacted at this point. -- Larry Stone lstone19(a)stonejongleux.com http://www.stonejongleux.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users(a)python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/zipfel%40greenacrestec… Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp ____________________________________________________________________________________ Boardwalk for $500?

In fact i've found this patch: http://al.blog.free.fr/mailman/mailman-vh-2.1.5.patchAnd no problem to apply it, but now i've great difficulties to make it work with my postfix install I, in fact, use /etc/mailman/postfix-to-mailman.py. It used to work with mailman 2.1.5, but no more with this mailman 2.1.5 + patch any resource on internet to make this patch work with postfix ?

What do you mean "simple patch"? The patch that Mark linked to is about as simple as these things get, at least as far as it comes to applying a patch. Do you mean, is there a Debian Sarge package that will automate all this for you? I have no idea -- you should talk to your Debian Sarge buddies. Or the maintainer of the Debian package for Mailman. We support Mailman and not specific OSes, so there's not much we can do to help you with OS-specific questions. -- Brad Knowles <brad(a)shub-internet.org>, Consultant & Author LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> Slides from Invited Talks: <http://tinyurl.com/tj6q4> 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 _____________________________________________________________________________ Ne gardez plus qu'une seule adresse mail !

arg.... I use mailman 2.1.5 from debian sarge, is there a simple patch to make real virtual domain possible ? ----- Message d'origine ---- De : Mark Sapiro <msapiro(a)value.net> À : Enzo <jdespatis(a)yahoo.fr>; mailman-users(a)python.org Envoyé le : Vendredi, 13 Juillet 2007, 21h24mn 42s Objet : Re: [Mailman-Users] same list name on 2 different domains Enzo wrote: > >I can create list on both domains, but i can't create the same list with the same name on these 2 different domains > <snip> > >Is it possible ? if yes how ? This is a limitation with current Mailman. This limitation will be removed in a future release, but for now, see <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.047.htp> for some links to 3rd party patches. Note also that that FAQ refers to Mailman 2.2 as the version for removal of this limitation. There has since been a renumbering of planned versions so the target for this is now called 3.0. -- Mark Sapiro <msapiro(a)value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
