Moderation Bit Problem
by Kathy Gee 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

Help, someone? When the moderation bit for a member is turned on, that member gets an error message when trying to post a message. The error message says "Your message could not be processed because of an internal error (software problem). We are very sorry. The system administrator has been notified of the problem." I'm sure this message is pretty generic therefore not much help. The message is no where to be found in any log that I can see and it never gets to the "tend to pending moderator requests" mode. Anyway, this happened after our system got upgraded from Fedora Core 3 to 7. The Mailman version is 2.1.4. Is there something I may have missed in the upgrade that would cause Mailman's moderation bit to act up? I've only been introduced to Mailman as the administrator since July last year. So, bear with me my ignorance on this subject. Thanks, Kathy

Bounce Problem, mistyped address
by Tony Molloy 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

Hi, I've been using mailman now for several years and have migrated my lists from Redhat-9 to Centos-4 and Centos-5. They all seem to be working OK I'm seeing the following errors in my mailman logs smtp log Jan 11 08:00:01 2008 (13841) <mailman.0.1200038401.5565.gsd(a)mail.csidmzs.ul.ie> smtp to gsd for 1 recips, completed in 0.029 seconds smtp-failure log Jan 11 08:00:01 2008 (13841) SMTP session failure: 553, 5.1.8 <gsd-bounces+gsd-owner=mail.csidmzs.ul.ie(a)mail.csidmzs.ul.ie>... Domain of sender address gsd-bounces+gsd-owner=mail.csidmzs.ul.ie(a)mail.csidmzs.ul.ie does not exist, msgid: <mailman.0.1200038401.5565.gsd(a)mail.csidmzs.ul.ie> Now I know the problem mail.csidmzs.ul.ie is incorrect. It should be mail.csisdmz.ul.ie. I presume during one of the migrations I must have mistyped something. But does anybody have any idea of where mailman is picking up the mistyped address and how can I sort it out. Regards, Tony

spamassassin and mailman
by Noah 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

Hi there, many of our list moderators are receiving quite a bit of moderated messages that is spam. Sometimes 20 to 40 or even more times a day. I am wondering if there is a way to send all list mail through SA rules and then trash the mail that is a specific score so it never even gets moderated. Any clues on how to accomplish this? Cheers, Noah

UTF-8 question
by Eva Isaksson 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

Recently, I was asked to set our mailman installation to utf-8. Our server is running the debian 2.1.9 mailman package. I did this, and it "works" -- but I have a question anyway. I started with the current settings: default language Finnish, charset iso-8859-1. The changes made for utf-8 included: - changing the template files and the Finnish translation file into utf-8 with iconv. - fixing the mm_cfg.py by making DEFAULT_CHARSET = 'UTF-8' and copying the relevant litany of LC_DESCRIPTIONS from Defaults.py into mm_cfg.py and setting Finnish into utf-8. Now, the problem that keeps puzzling me: 1. Before the change, mails with charset=iso-8859-1 and charset=utf-8 were being distributed with the charset untouched. I figured out as this is how it should be - right? 2. As our server hosts a lot of lists (almost 400 of them) I decided to try utf-8 out on a smaller scale first, on an Ubuntu server, running only a couple of lists with its standard mailman package, version 2.1.5. The utf-8 change was a success. The webpages and archive were all okay, and the charset of mails was untouched too. 3. As things looked promising, I decided to proceed with our real list server. The result: Web pages, archive, all okay, now in utf-8. Mails... all of them in utf-8. And I mean ALL mails. My question: was this to be expected? Is everything meant to be in utf-8 from now on, including the forcing of charset=utf-8 into all list mail headers? And why didn't this happen neither with the iso-8859-1 settings, nor with the Ubuntu server? - Eva -- Eva Isaksson * eva(a)vihreat.fi * Eva.Isaksson(a)Helsinki.Fi http://www.helsinki.fi/~eisaksso/
