Problems with mailman and postfix
by Daniel Herrmann Sept. 17, 2007

Sept. 17, 2007

Hello List, first: I installed mailman now for the first time. I could make the new list "mailman" via ssh and the newlist command. The second list I created via the webinterface. Everything works well, but if I send now a message to <mailto:Mailman-request@www.lists.bushido-wuestems.de> Mailman-request(a)www.lists.bushido-wuestems.de I get the following Error: < <mailto:Mailman-request@www.lists.bushido-wuestems.de> Mailman-request(a)www.lists.bushido-… [View More]

Subject line spacing
by Aaron Crosman Sept. 17, 2007

Sept. 17, 2007

I'm having an odd problem with messages from one list admin to a couple lists (that are used as newsletters). When he sends the message he gets a moderation confirmation message, and the subject of the original message is just fine. But when he approves the message to go to the whole list, it removes a space from the subject line. For the example he forwarded me the original subject was: Workers score second victory over Fujikura's greed And the subject that went out to all his list … [View More]

Where do I find mailman log file analysis tools
by Rusty Wilson Sept. 17, 2007

Sept. 17, 2007

Hi all, I'm trying to find a good (or even usable) mailman log file analyzer - but I'm not having any luck. In my searching through the FAQ, the list archives, and sf.net I found references to: 1. sawmill (www.sawmill.net) 2. lire (www.logreport.org) 3. references to custom scripts (but could not find them) My needs are pretty simple, so before I set off and write my own scripts, I thought I would check here first. Right now - all I really need is something that will parse the "subscribe" … [View More]

Trouble adding new users
by Pete Bronder Sept. 16, 2007

Sept. 16, 2007

I am having problems adding new members. It is something that I've done successfully many times in the past. The new addresses show up on the list through the administrative interface however the new people that are added do not receive any messages. I compared the profiles of members who are working correctly against those members who are not receiving messages and could not find any problems. I also checked the FAQs and did not see where this problem might have been addressed. Do … [View More]

failing qrunner
by Jaco Kroon Sept. 16, 2007

Sept. 16, 2007

Hi guys, We've got a problem with a half-completed delivery run, somehow an address with a ? at the end of the domain managed to get into the list addresses, ie, something like: jaco(a)kroon.co.za? instead of just jaco(a)kroon.co.za ... now exim drops the connection when it sees this address, which means that none of the recipients in that run receives the message. Firstly, mailman should not have accepted that address, but this may have been fixed (this is a rather old version, no, I can't … [View More]

Umbrella-bounces address?
by J.R. Constance Sept. 16, 2007

Sept. 16, 2007

I've been working on setting up and umbrella list that sends to four sub-lists. I have this working well if someone submits an email to the umbrella list and they are subscribed to the sub-lists. However, I have a question about the proper configuration handling a post from someone who is not a member of a sublist . In Mailman FAQ 3.69 there is a section that states: "The second issue is when a member of one sub-list posts to the umbrella, her post is held by the sublists of which … [View More]

Problem with mailman in combination with sendmail
by Kai Behncke Sept. 15, 2007

Sept. 15, 2007

Dear list, I try to get to run mailman 2.1.9 with sendmail on Debian 4.0. With mailman everything seems to be fine. Well, I can create new lists and get a confirmation of that. Check_perms -f says that everything is all right and in the log-files of mailman are no errors at all. I configured it with: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mailman --with-mail-gid=mail --with-cgi-gid=www-data --with-mailhost=h1228898.stratoserver.net --with-urlhost=h1228898.stratoserver.net With: "--with-mail-… [View More]

Message templates not available to list-admins
by Jeffrey Goldberg Sept. 14, 2007

Sept. 14, 2007

Hello, One of my list admins (whom I've copied on this message) wanted to know what the default invitation message before sending out an invite. It appears that this information is only available to those who have shell access to the mailman server. (I found it quickly in templates/invite.txt). I suppose that she could have sent a test invitation to herself to an address that wasn't already a list member, but that's hardly the first thing that's going to jump into people's minds. … [View More]

Hello, I am new to this list and need a little help
by John Lieber Sept. 14, 2007

Sept. 14, 2007

I have two mailman mailing lists on my server, the first one is working great, however the second one is having some problems. When accessing the adminitrative website it is using 'localhost.localdomain.com' for the url. I am not sure where I can go to change this for the second list I have. The first list resolves to my actual domain correctly. I am using mailmain version 2.1.8, if you need any more information please let me know. Thank you in advance, John

invites for large user list fails
by Anne Ramey Sept. 14, 2007

Sept. 14, 2007

Is there a known problem with inviting relatively large groups of addresses at once, ex. 6K at a time? I usually just subscribe, so I haven't run into this before, but I have a list owner who gets an error when trying to subscribe a list of 6000 addresses, but I've been breaking it up to smaller groups (<400) and they seem to work fine. But when I get up to 1000+ it fails. If we try to invite the whole list we get: Server error! The server encountered an internal error and was … [View More]unable to complete your request.
