Oct. 17, 2008

This a new problem for this list. It used to save the excel file in the archives with the correct .xls extension. but now it is getting a .bin extension. All excel MIME types have been added to the filters. All other attachments seem to be saving correctly. This is the message that appears in the archive just above the attachment link A non-text attachment was scrubbed... Name: Lab Contact List 09-11-08.xls Type: application/msexcel Size: 31232 bytes Desc: not available the link looks like this ( with the name of the list removed because it is a private list) Url : https://www.fws.gov/lists/private/xxxxxx/attachments/20081007/c36dd4eb/a ttachment-0001.bin <https://www.fws.gov/lists/private/xxxxxx/attachments/20081007/c36dd4eb/ attachment-0001.bin> Thank you Kimberli Tompkins Web Services Branch of Communication Technology U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Lakewood Colorado (303) 275.2372

Editing the default forward address for held messages
by Hendrik Maryns Oct. 17, 2008

Oct. 17, 2008

Hi, I was wondering whether I (administrator) can change the default forward address for held messages. Most of the time these are spam, so I want to forward them to submit.NwbMYM2xVUl39XPL(a)spam.spamcop.net. Right now, the list’s address is pre-filled-in there. Cheers, H. -- Hendrik Maryns Herrenberger Straße 40 D-72070 Tübingen +49707143783 http://tcl.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/~hendrik/ ================= www.lieverleven.be Hier kan iedereen wat van leren.

MAX_AUTORESPONSES_PER_DAY per list override
by David Duncan Ross Palmer Oct. 16, 2008

Oct. 16, 2008

Hi lads, First post here. I've had a look through the archives, however, I'm not immediately sure whether MAX_AUTORESPONSES_PER_DAY can be overridden on a per list basis. We operate a very large single server installation with hundreds of lists on, and one customer has requested we up this limit for their test list, however it seems to be a global setting override. Has anybody else done this? -- Regards, David Palmer T:01225 800 888 E: support(a)gradwell.net W: www.gradwell.net Gradwell dot com Ltd.

reply-to header
by Karen R McArthur Oct. 16, 2008

Oct. 16, 2008

On default setup, I currently have: first_strip_reply_to = False reply_goes_to_list = 1 reply_to_address = '' My list server fqdn: mailman.bates.edu I would like the reply-to to go to this fqdn (listname(a)mailman.bates.edu), but it gets stripped to listname(a)bates.edu As far as I can tell, sendmail is not rewriting my headers. I have tested sending email through the sendmail CLI and the entire header arrives as sent. As a second puzzle, when I change reply_goes_to_list = 0, reply-to header is still going to the list ... I have exported the config_list and compared in both instances to confirm these settings. -- Karen R.

Hello, I'm inheriting a server that has mailman setup on it, but eventually will have mailman lists for multiple domain names. I'm having hard time figuring out what was previously done, but ultimately trying to get at least one mailman list working on one domain. However, it's currently somewhat configured for mutliple domains. At this point, I can create lists, join lists, but can't post to lists. I can send emails to the list and don't get bounces, but nothing ever gets posted. One thing I see is that the maillog shows email is getting rewritten before it can be delivered to the orig mailbox, see the relevant section of the maillog here: Oct 15 03:26:29 161446-db1 postfix/smtpd[23936]: 70D3719F075E: client=mail.newarch.com[216.135.169.66] Oct 15 03:26:29 161446-db1 postfix/cleanup[23940]: 70D3719F075E: message-id=<5FDF8F237C740D4B8C3A618DD2668E3201C853F1(a)server.newarch.local <mailto:5FDF8F237C740D4B8C3A618DD2668E3201C853F1@server.newarch.local> > Oct 15 03:26:29 161446-db1 postfix/qmgr[23869]: 70D3719F075E: from=myemail(a)externaldomain.com <mailto:myemail@externaldomain.com> , size=1721, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Oct 15 03:26:29 161446-db1 postfix/local[23941]: 70D3719F075E: to=<dvbrtf(a)collaborativepolicy.net <mailto:dvbrtf@collaborativepolicy.net> >, orig_to=<mailman_discussion2(a)dvbf.org <mailto:mailman_discussion2@dvbf.org> >, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent (delivered to mailbox) Oct 15 03:26:29 161446-db1 postfix/qmgr[23869]: 70D3719F075E: removed Oct 15 03:26:29 161446-db1 postfix/smtpd[23936]: disconnect from mail.newarch.com[216.135.169.66] I'm thinking the aliases is somehow not configured correctly, but just an idea. So, can join the list fine and receive emails from the mailman server, just can't post to the list... Any ideas? Thanks a ton in advance. -BFC

mailman "user unknown"
by Karen R McArthur Oct. 15, 2008

Oct. 15, 2008

I'm placing mailman into production for the first time - and I have approximately 2500 lists. Many of my lists work fine, but many do not. On them, I receive a "user unknown" error. An example: when send to the "seo" list, sendmail -bv seo(a)lists.bates.edu returns "seo(a)lists.bates.edu... User unknown" I have the seo lines in aliases.mailman - and a strings on the aliases.mailman.db returns correct data for the list. Some lists listed in aliases.mailman AFTER seo work correctly, as do some lists listed BEFORE it - elimination my idea of a corrupt file. aliases.mailman was generated through "sudo -u mailman bin/genaliases -q > aliases.mailman". I have run newaliases. I have restarted mailman. sendmail.cf includes /etc/aliases.mailman in the ALiasFile line - and is working as it should since some of my lists are working. aliases.mailman is 28,896 lines long - is that a problem? Any ideas? ls -ltr aliases.mailman* -rw-r--r-- 1 mailman root 1845123 Oct 15 12:37 aliases.mailman -rw-r----- 1 root smmsp 2646016 Oct 15 12:38 aliases.mailman.db strings aliases.mailman.db | grep seo "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces seo" seo-bounces "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm seo" seo-confirm "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave seo" seo-leave "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join seo" seo-join "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin seo" seo-admin "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner seo" seo-owner "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe seo" seo-unsubscribe "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe seo" seo-subscribe "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request seo" seo-request "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post seo" -- Karen R.

Uncaught runner exception: int argument required
by Charles Marcus Oct. 15, 2008

Oct. 15, 2008

Greetings, Ok, I just discovered that I'm not getting notifications when someone sends a message that is too big... usually I get a notification, and can click the link and 'Tend to pending moderator requests', and discard & forward a copy to the list owner. I don't get too many of these, so didn't notice right away that this stopped working sometime recently... I'm only on 2.5.2, but I think I did update fairly recently... I'm *almost* certain (but wouldn't bet my life on it) that it was working since the current modified date (8/21), which was after updating to 2.1.11 I believe... Anyway, thanks for any pointers/suggestions, and here's the error from the errors log: Oct 14 16:48:38 2008 (10988) Uncaught runner exception: int argument required Oct 14 16:48:38 2008 (10988) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/tmp/portage/net-mail/mailman-2.1.11/image//usr/lib64/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 120, in _oneloop File "/var/tmp/portage/net-mail/mailman-2.1.11/image//usr/lib64/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 191, in _onefile File "/var/tmp/portage/net-mail/mailman-2.1.11/image//usr/lib64/mailman/Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py", line 130, in _dispose File "/var/tmp/portage/net-mail/mailman-2.1.11/image//usr/lib64/mailman/Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py", line 153, in _dopipeline File "/usr/lib64/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py", line 188, in process MessageTooBig(bodylen, mlist.max_message_size)) File "/usr/lib64/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py", line 225, in hold_for_approval msgdata['rejection_notice'] = Utils.wrap(exc.rejection_notice(mlist)) File "/usr/lib64/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py", line 109, in rejection_notice %(limit)d KB in size.''')

Mailman 2.1.11 compatibility with python 2.6
by Jesus Cea Oct. 14, 2008

Oct. 14, 2008

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. I just upgraded to Python 2.6, and Mailman 2.1.11 has some issues. Notably the "email" module and raising text exceptions. Is any plan to release a version compatible with python 2.6 (or a patch) "soon", or I need to downgrade my python installation?.
