We're sorry, we hit a bug!

Sept. 7, 2007

I'm hoping someone can help me figure out a problem that I've been having for some time now. For some of my lists when I try to log in and approve/discard posts using the admin function I get the following error. This is obviously a cpanel version of mailman. I am also trying to get support through my hosting company on this. We're sorry, we hit a bug! Mailman experienced a very low level failure and could not even generate a useful traceback for you. Please report this to the … [View More]Mailman administrator at this site. Looking at the error log for this particular error shows the following: Sep 07 07:56:13 2007 (19565) Uncaught runner exception: No terminating boundary and no trailing empty line Sep 07 07:56:13 2007 (19565) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 100, in _oneloop msg, msgdata = self._switchboard.dequeue(filebase) File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/Mailman/Queue/ Switchboard.py", line 164, in dequeue msg = email.message_from_string(msg, Message.Message) File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/pythonlib/email/ __init__.py", line 51, in message_from_string return Parser(_class, strict=strict).parsestr(s) File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/pythonlib/email/ Parser.py", line 75, in parsestr return self.parse(StringIO(text), headersonly=headersonly) File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/pythonlib/email/ Parser.py", line 64, in parse self._parsebody(root, fp, firstbodyline) File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/pythonlib/email/ Parser.py", line 240, in _parsebody msgobj = self.parsestr(part) File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/pythonlib/email/ Parser.py", line 75, in parsestr return self.parse(StringIO(text), headersonly=headersonly) File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/pythonlib/email/ Parser.py", line 64, in parse self._parsebody(root, fp, firstbodyline) File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/pythonlib/email/ Parser.py", line 265, in _parsebody msg = self.parse(fp) File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/pythonlib/email/ Parser.py", line 64, in parse self._parsebody(root, fp, firstbodyline) File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/pythonlib/email/ Parser.py", line 206, in _parsebody raise Errors.BoundaryError( BoundaryError: No terminating boundary and no trailing empty line Sep 07 07:56:13 2007 (19565) Ignoring unparseable message: 1173539747.1827431+c4b30a10b02f512f3aa88e8038d6f17843cdb81b Sep 07 07:56:13 2007 (19565) Uncaught runner exception: No terminating boundary and no trailing empty line Sep 07 07:56:13 2007 (19565) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 100, in _oneloop msg, msgdata = self._switchboard.dequeue(filebase) File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/Mailman/Queue/ Switchboard.py", line 164, in dequeue msg = email.message_from_string(msg, Message.Message) File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/pythonlib/email/ __init__.py", line 51, in message_from_string return Parser(_class, strict=strict).parsestr(s) File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/pythonlib/email/ Parser.py", line 75, in parsestr return self.parse(StringIO(text), headersonly=headersonly) File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/pythonlib/email/ Parser.py", line 64, in parse self._parsebody(root, fp, firstbodyline) File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/pythonlib/email/ Parser.py", line 240, in _parsebody msgobj = self.parsestr(part) File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/pythonlib/email/ Parser.py", line 75, in parsestr return self.parse(StringIO(text), headersonly=headersonly) File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/pythonlib/email/ Parser.py", line 64, in parse self._parsebody(root, fp, firstbodyline) File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/pythonlib/email/ Parser.py", line 265, in _parsebody msg = self.parse(fp) File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/pythonlib/email/ Parser.py", line 64, in parse self._parsebody(root, fp, firstbodyline) File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/pythonlib/email/ Parser.py", line 206, in _parsebody raise Errors.BoundaryError( BoundaryError: No terminating boundary and no trailing empty line Sep 07 07:56:13 2007 (19565) Ignoring unparseable message: 1187578207.7474239+de47fddadb334d46d06c9248df89448cf2a433ce Sep 07 07:58:41 2007 admin(25812): @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ admin(25812): [----- Mailman Version: 2.1.9.cp2 -----] admin(25812): [----- Traceback ------] admin(25812): Traceback (most recent call last): admin(25812): File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/scripts/ driver", line 101, in run_main Thanks, J.R.

Permission problem in handling moderator requests; also archive queries
by Sekhar Ramakrishnan Sept. 7, 2007

Sept. 7, 2007

Hi: I have three questions - two general, and one about a particular problem. 1) Is there a plan to offer a search function for private archives? 2) One of our lists has monthly archives. Is there a way to combine older archives (more than a year or two old) into yearly archives? 3) I administer a few Mailman lists (version 2.1.9.cp2) on a cPanel X account that I control as well. I have a problem with the "Tend to pending moderator requests" page. Everything works normally as long as I … [View More]

Mailing List - people say their e-mails "never appear"
by Patrick M. Sept. 7, 2007

Sept. 7, 2007

Hi all, I just installed Mailman on our load balanced Postfix servers. Both servers share a common NFS point. Please forgive me, as I'm very new to Mailman. While I know my way around Postfix, troubleshooting Mailman is another issue. I can see that e-mail gets sent and delivered to the particular mailing list in question, but sometimes people tell me their e-mails never get posted to the mailing list. Other people say they submit their post, and it eventually gets there, after 10 … [View More]

> No. newaliases is for sendmail. The equivalent Postfix command is >postalias.

Some Mail Lists not receiving messages
by Jim Coberly Sept. 7, 2007

Sept. 7, 2007

We have MailMan version 2.1.5 Running on CentOS release 4.3 (Final) (sorry, I don't know the install method) MTA sendmail-8.13.1-3. We have a previously working list that has as members other lists (a list of lists if you will) which I will call LIST. We recently discovered the messages to the LIST were delivered to some member lists and not to others. The LIST has delivered properly in the past. We worked through the steps on Mailman FAQ 4.78.
