-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I just discovered something that may or may not be useful. Just for grins I tried sending a request to the request mail box. I saw some errors in the syslog but the main one is that there is a group error. The mailman wrapper expected to be run as group 'mail' but ran as group 'mailman' instead. This sounds like and ownership issue now. Everything is owned by 'mailman; and has group 'mail'. The mailman user is a member of both groups with 'mailman' … [View More]

For accept_these_nonmembers I would like to add my entire domain. So I added "^(a)my.domain.com" w/out the quotes, but that doesn't seem to be working. Any suggestions for my wrong syntax? Thanks -Troy

I have a list that had 2 recent posts that are not showing up in the archives. They are in the post log as successful posts, but don't show in the archive. Any idea how that could happen? The archiving settings are to rotate monthly, privacy set to private. Thanks, Anne

Queue delays
by Grigory Batalov Jan. 8, 2008

Jan. 8, 2008

Hello! I have regular delays in message processing. Say, my server (Linux/Postfix) receives a letter at 17:36 and quickly delivers it to the mailman queue (?). Then message is hold for about 25 minutes and is processed again at 18:01. It is strange to me, why mailman keeps the message so long? How can I investigate such situation? Maybe, other messages in queue could be the reason? $ ls -1 /var/lib/mailman/qfiles/in/|wc -l 0 $ ls -1 /var/lib/mailman/qfiles/out/|wc -l 120 $ ls -1 /var/lib/… [View More]mailman/qfiles/retry/|wc -l 121 There are 8 Incoming, 8 Outgoing, 4 Retry and 4 Bounce qrunners on the server.

Mailman won't 'start' - but is working?
by Charles Marcus Jan. 7, 2008

Jan. 7, 2008

Ok, maybe this is an issue with my understanding, but... I am on a gentoo system, trying to clean up some things (inherited) - duplicates, etc. I had an old version of Mailman (2.1.7) and 2.1.9 installed. I removed the 2.1.7 version with no apparent problems, but then updated 2.1.9 to the latest rev - 2.1.9-r2 (this is in the testing/unstable repo on gentoo, so maybe this is a bug with this package)... They aren't supposed to make major changes between minor rev bumps like this, but … [View More]
