multiple vhosting for lists
by audit 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

Right now I have a multiple lists setup for hosting mail lists off one of my hosted sites, I would like to add another domain to host mail lists from now also. Under my /usr/local/etc/postfix/transport I have domain.com mailman: Can I just add the other domain.tld mailman: to the transport file and run postmap /usr/local/etc/postfix/transport and then in my mm.cfg.py add another line below my current one add_virtualhost('www.domain.com', 'domain.com') add_virtualhost('www.newdomain.com', 'newdomain.com') and then restart mailman? This is on FreeBSD 6.3 with Mailman 2.1.9 installed from ports. Thanks

Mailman Archives page not updating
by Anthony Human 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

Hello I'm relatively new to mailman. I've searched the mailman lists and tried to find a solution to my issue but nothing. Has anyone encountered the below issue and could offer some help. I recently moved mailman from one server to another.I tarred up the old archives and moved them to the new server, and simply untarred them into: /usr/local/mailman/archives/public/[list-name] The system has been running for a few months now and I have noticed that the archives list doesn't show anything past the month when I moved over to the new server. When I log onto the server, I can see the messages in .txt files for the following months after the move. However, when I vi the index.html it looks the same as the site i.e. no months following the server move. Is there a command I can run to update the archives webpage? Ideally I would like the archives webpage to update automatically again. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Delete message in large mbox
by Odieresis [Gmail] 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

Hi, I need to delete a message from the archive. I read in some post I have to open mbox file of the list and manually remove the message as in source code. Then to rebuild the archive it's necessary to backup the archive folder and leave it blank. Now I have a large mbox of MB 200. Can you tell me how I can handle such a file direct in shell access or downloading and uploading it? Thank you for your time, Francesco

Moving a list from 2.1.9.CP2 to 2.1.9
by Andrew Hodgson 24 Feb '08

24 Feb '08

Hi, I have a host running Debian Etch with Mailman 2.1.9, and everything is honky dory. However, I need to transfer a list from a host running Mailman 2.1.9.CP2, and the owner of that list is a bit worried about the downgrade of Mailman to 2.1.9. I have looked everywhere for the CP2 version, but can't find it on the Mailman website, and Google searches have just got me Mailman pages from hosts running that version - there are quite a number. Is there any difference between the two versions, or is the CP2 version just used in a specific Distro? I did check to see if I was on the latest version from Etch, and would prefer to keep this version, as it is updated as required when doing a system update in Debian. Also, is there anything I should be worried about when transferring from the list? The users have limited shell access so far, so I am going to be looking at that on Monday, if possible getting the ISP to tar up the various list/archive files from /var/lib/mailman or the like. Any help gratefully received. Thanks, Andrew.

Pipermail URL handling in archives
by Jim Popovitch 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

Hi, I have a problem with some URLs being handled incorrectly. Specifically URLs that are at the end of a sentence followed by a period (full stop). Example: To enroll visit this site: http://www.domain.tld/cgi-bin/enroll.pl. Mailman/Pipermail converts that sentence like so: To enroll visit this site: <A HREF="http://www.domain.tld/cgi-bin/enroll.pl.">http://www.domain.tld/cgi-bin/enroll.pl.</A> The ending period (full stop) then invalidates the URL. Is there any quick fix to 2.1.9 to resolve this? Thanks, -Jim P.

Digest new bug
by Una Smith 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

I run a list using Mailman 2.1.9; I am only the listadmin, not the site admin. I have configured the list so that subscribers who choose the digest option get one or more daily digests if there are any posts that day. On or about December 16th, the digest subscribers stopped getting any digests at all. Exception: if I use send_digest_now, they get a digest. The digest volume number increments each month. I used send_digest_now in the middle of February and the result was volume X issue 1; it should have been more like issue 10. This tells me the problem is in Mailman. Is this a known problem?

Mailman postings deferred by Yahoo
by Rick Harris 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

My hosting company tells me that the mail logs indicate that the majority of Mailman's messages to Yahoo addresses return a "deferred" message. Here is the complete message: whateveraddress(a)yahoo.com R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp defer (0): SMTP error from remote mail server after initial connection: host g.mx.mail.yahoo.com [206.190.53.191]: 421 4.7.0 [TS02] Messages from 216.104.33.122 temporarily deferred due to user complaints - 4.16.56.1; see http://postmaster.yahoo.com/421-ts02.html All of my outgoing email uses the same server located at 216.104.33.122 and any single email that I send to any Yahoo address using any client is received just fine. My Mailman list is very small with < 20 members and only 3 Yahoo addresses and the user complaint thing is bogus. This is a golf list for crying out loud.all of the members want to know what their tee times are for Saturday! All of Yahoo addresses have the same issue, even my own which I added to the list for testing. And I said majority, because 1 in 15 or so messages will miraculously come through. Does anyone else have any experience with this, and is there something that I can do on my end that would help? Rick Harris

Automated moderation
by Richard Smits 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

Hello, I have a difficult problem. (Maybe not for you) Every day we do an import and a member_sync for a couple of lists. # Postings from any of these non-members will be automatically accepted # with no further moderation applied. Add member addresses one per # line; start the line with a ^ character to designate a regular # expression match. accept_these_nonmembers = We have lists where people has to mail to, and which they are a member of. So the [Privacy-options, accept_these_non_members] do not work...., because they are a member.... You have to uncheck the moderate square in the member list. My question is : can we have 1 list of addresses which can mail to the list. Now we have to make an exception for the people who are a member of the list. (We are doing an automated script import etc... so this is an issue for us) Or am i missing something ;-) Greetings.... Richard
