Hi again When getting your list administrators to use email commands that require authentication where in the email is the password put in? in the body? the subject? I imagine this is very easy and once again I have shown my ignorance. Luke Daly Systems Officer IT Infrastructure Newcastle University 17000

preventing mailto and http links in archives, trimming hotmail footers etc.
by BobLaJolla＠aol.com Aug. 19, 2007

Aug. 19, 2007

Is there a setting to turn off the mailto and URL embedding of links in the web archive of list mail? I have added the anti-spam harvesting patch, and these are less than useful now. Also, I noticed the email addresses have a superfluous underscore prepended to them in the archives (e.g., __user(a)aol.com_ (mailto:_user@aol.com) ). Is that a common bug, and where might I track that down? Finally, is there a patch or setting to kill the common footers that some mailers (like … [View More]

qrunner refuses to pass mail to users
by falko＠tahoe.reservoir.com Aug. 19, 2007

Aug. 19, 2007

Hi everyone, I have the following setup: Postfix -> Dspam -> Procmail -> Mailman -> Users I've tried taking Dspam out of the equation, but that did not change a thing. When users send to a mailing list, the message appears to be deilvered to mailman. However, mailman does not do anything afterwards: i.e. its does not send the messages to the users. qrunner is running. I traced the problem to the following: In logs/post I saw this: Aug 19 02:01:09 2007 (15427) post to … [View More]list from falko(a)reservoir.com, size=1215, message-id=<20070819054804.GC14916(a)reservoir.com>, 12 failures Aug 19 02:01:09 2007 (15428) post to list from falko(a)reservoir.com, size=1215, message-id=<20070819054804.GC14916(a)reservoir.com>, 12 failures The message is repeated more than 12 times.

Mass defection?
by Julio A. Cartaya Aug. 19, 2007

A customer of mine has a broadcast (i.e. one-way), low-traffic list with close to 3000 members. The list contains a mix of business and personal addresses. As usual, the list of member addresses can be seen only by administrators (private_roster). The date of the last message broadcasted to members is July 17(this year). On Aug 7 we received 2700 messages stating "johndoe(a)somesite.com has cancelled his subscription to mylist" (where johndoe(a)somesite.com changes - of course - for each … [View More]

hold_these_nonmembers

I have a group of lists on a server, all for different parts of an organisation. What I would like is a way to set things up such that when someone who is a meber of one list posts to another the message is held for moderation. Due to spam load the generic_nonmember_action is currently set to reject, otherwise that would be a solution. I can't find a "native" solution in the web interface, but I can extract membership lists with the list_members command (using sort and uniq to fix any … [View More]

unpack list of wrong size - debugging a single list
by chris burgess Aug. 19, 2007

Aug. 19, 2007

We run 159 lists for an organisation on Mailman 2.1.5 (Debian Stable). All other lists appear to be behaving fine, but one list seems to be having issues. This list (and others) have run fine for several years, and I don't think I have done as much debugging as I know how, but I can't get this one list to behave. I've checked for oversize files, the permissions of the config directory entries, and even restored the list config.pck from backups to a version that was working before it stopped. … [View More]But it seems the problem isn't any of these, as it persists in gobbling any incoming mail on that list and putting it in the shunt file. I'd appreciate any suggestions in how to usefully debug this list from here - it's knocked out one of our organisation's more active discussion systems. Here's an example of what I see in the mailman error log for any message to this list: --- Aug 17 15:39:16 2007 (29254) Uncaught runner exception: unpack list of wrong size Aug 17 15:39:16 2007 (29254) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 111, in _oneloop self._onefile(msg, msgdata) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 167, in _onefile keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py", line 130, in _dispose more = self._dopipeline(mlist, msg, msgdata, pipeline) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py", line 153, in _dopipeline sys.modules[modname].process(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/ToDigest.py", line 91, in process send_digests(mlist, mboxfp) File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/ToDigest.py", line 132, in send_digests send_i18n_digests(mlist, mboxfp) File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/ToDigest.py", line 306, in send_i18n_digests msg = scrubber(mlist, msg) File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py", line 273, in process url = save_attachment(mlist, part, dir) File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py", line 373, in save_attachment fnext = os.path.splitext(msg.get_filename(''))[1] File "/usr/lib/python2.3/email/Message.py", line 725, in get_filename filename = self.get_param('filename', missing, 'content-disposition') File "/usr/lib/python2.3/email/Message.py", line 608, in get_param for k, v in self._get_params_preserve(failobj, header): File "/usr/lib/python2.3/email/Message.py", line 555, in _get_params_preserve params = Utils.decode_params(params) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/email/Utils.py", line 337, in decode_params charset, language, value = decode_rfc2231(EMPTYSTRING.join(value)) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/email/Utils.py", line 284, in decode_rfc2231 charset, language, s = parts ValueError: unpack list of wrong size --- This is the resulting pickle file in qfiles/shunt for the same message: --- [----- start pickle file -----] <----- start object 1 -----> >From m.m(a)domain.com Fri Aug 17 15:39:14 2007 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]) by domain.com with smtp (Exim 4.50 #1 (Debian)) id 1ILsfb-0007gx-Gn for <cc(a)domain.com>; Fri, 17 Aug 2007 15:39:14 +1200 From: m.m(a)domain.com To: cc(a)domain.com X-SA-Exim-Connect-IP: 127.0.0.1 X-SA-Exim-Mail-From: m.m(a)domain.com X-SA-Exim-Scanned: No (on domain.com); SAEximRunCond expanded to false Subject: [CC] test message X-BeenThere: cc(a)domain.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list Reply-To: Campaign Committee <cc(a)domain.com> List-Id: Campaign Committee <cc.domain.com> List-Unsubscribe: <http://domain.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cc>, <mailto:cc-request@domain.com?subject=unsubscribe> List-Archive: <http://domain.com/cgi-bin/mailman/private/cc> List-Post: <mailto:cc@domain.com> List-Help: <mailto:cc-request@domain.com?subject=help> List-Subscribe: <http://domain.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cc>, <mailto:cc-request@domain.com?subject=subscribe> Hi, test here <----- start object 2 -----> { '_parsemsg': False, 'lang': 'en', 'listname': 'cc', 'original_sender': 'm.m(a)domain.com', 'origsubj': 'test message', 'pipeline': [ 'ToDigest', 'ToArchive', 'ToUsenet', 'AfterDelivery', 'Acknowledge', 'ToOutgoing'], 'received_time': 1187321954.8111341, 'recips': [ 'example(a)domain.com' ], 'tolist': 1, 'version': 3, 'whichq': '/var/lib/mailman/qfiles/in'} [----- end pickle file -----] [View Less]
