Re: [Mailman-Users] Duplicate Subscription Confirmations

I would expect that process to detect that the requests were within the same email message and send only one response. Is there a reason it doesn't behave in that manner today? It could be done, but it is tricky. As it is, CommandRunner just processes the … [View More]

We have no idea about what could be, so i'm writting all of you to know if you've experienced something like this, and tell me what can i try to do :) Thanks

Moving mailman to a new directory (same server)
by Lynn, Michael (GWM-CAI) Dec. 11, 2008

Dec. 11, 2008

I ran out of disk on the partition where mailman (/var) resides - I've gotten more disk assigned and I'm planning to move mailman to a new file system (/apps). I found the faq entry and information on moving mailman from one server to another... but I'm wondering if anyone is aware of any special precautions associated with moving to a new directory location. I already found paths.py and grep'd for occurances of /var throughout... I'm just wondering if I need to force a recompile of the pyc's.… [View More]

relaying and public lists
by Peter Kaszas Dec. 11, 2008

Dec. 11, 2008

Hi! I have a frontend mailserver with postfix, it is configured to relay all mails which have destination: listname(a)list.example.com to my mailman server. This mailman server is in DMZ, it have LOCAL IP, and it is configured with postfix. In my postfix transport.db file I added the link to relay all @list.algotech.hu to mailman: My mailman-postfix host get mails from the frontend server. Everything is cool. But, when I wanted to setup some lists to accept mails from everybody (public list) … [View More]

Duplicate Subscription Confirmations
by James Weingarten Dec. 11, 2008

Dec. 11, 2008

Hi. Have you ever seen Mailman issue duplicate subscription requests? When a user sends a request to subscribe, he is receiving two confirmations for each request. Nothing obvious is apparent in the logs and the confirmations are properly formatted. Email is flowing well (using Postfix as the MTA). Has anyone seen this problem before? Do you have any suggestions as to how to approach this problem? Here is some environmental information: OS - CentOS 5.2 (2.6.18-92.1.10.el5) Mailman - 2.1.9 … [View More]

postfix integration question
by Mark A. Olbert Dec. 11, 2008

Dec. 11, 2008

I'm running into a GID problem in the interface between mailman and postfix. Here's the error message: (Command died with status 2: "/usr/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman". Command output: Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as group "mailman", but the system's mail server executed the mail script as group "nogroup". Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group "mailman", or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-… [View More]

recovering from a "no space left on device" error
by Wallace Winfrey Dec. 10, 2008

Dec. 10, 2008

Earlier this morning the partition containing our mailman install (including archives) filled up. We were alerted to this by error messages being returned when trying to send emails. We cleared up some disk space, but did not restart mailman. Users no longer got the error message when posting to a list, so I figured all was well, and moved on to other tasks. A couple hours ago, a list member alerted me that the lists didn't seem to be sending out any mail. I checked the folder of what is … [View More]

Subscribing other lists to a list.
by Dan Mahoney, System Admin Dec. 9, 2008

Dec. 9, 2008

I just helped to manage a migration from Ecartis to Mailman for my day job. We have a periodic -announce list that we send out on to release new software versions. What I'm finding is we cannot duplicate the same behavior we have under Ecartis. Ecartis had a simple "import" option, where list B could be a subset of list A, but list A could also contain normal users. I've found this post http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/solutions/umbrella.html and it explains things pretty well, but neither … [View More]

Blocking Mail from self...
by Jeffrey M. Johnson Dec. 9, 2008

Dec. 9, 2008

I have a list that has become a target for spam messages. The problem is I can't seem to figure out how to block the incoming spam. If the list name is mylist(a)mylistserver.com how do I block spam messages that are "sent" from a spoofed address of mylist(a)mylistserver.com? I have tried to block and list as always requiring approval but it doesn't seem to take. Jeffrey M. Johnson Sr. Info Tech Professional Central Operations
