Mailman 3 July 2008 - Mailman-Users

multiple domains
by bergenpeak＠comcast.net July 3, 2008

July 3, 2008

I'm running mailman on a server that has an existing domain (abc.domain.com) and resolves to some IP address X. Couple of 100 lists running in this setup. I've recently gotten another DNS entry defined (xyz.domain.com) that also resolves to IP address X. I'd like to setup new mailman lists to use the new domain-- mmlist1(a)xyz.domain.com. What do I need to change to support this? Note that I'd like the existing mailman lists in the near-term to continue to use there existing "abc.… [View More]

Currently when ever I try to get to the mailman archives for any of the mailing lists I revcive a 403 error.

Bounce Message, ReturnPath/ErrorsTo issue
by Michael Kabot July 3, 2008

July 3, 2008

Configuration - CentOS 5 64 bit - Mailman 2.1.9 - Qmail with Plesk 8.3 mods I have an interesting bounce issue occurring. - Email is sent to a Mailman List - List sends to each address - One of the addresses bounces - The bounce message ends with the right FROM and TO headers, but the wrong RETURN-PATH and ERRORS-TO headers. Is this a Mailman or Qmail issue? Here is the bounce message ------------------ Return-Path: <mailman-bounces(a)[WRONGDOMAIN.COM]> Received: (qmail 28263 … [View More]invoked from network); 2 Jul 2008 14:46:36 -0400 Received: from localhost (HELO [MAIL.RIGHTDOMAIN.COM]) (127.0.0.1) by localhost with SMTP; 2 Jul 2008 14:46:36 -0400 Return-Path: <> Delivered-To: [LISTNAME]-bounces(a)[RIGHTDOMAIN.COM] Received: (qmail 28252 invoked for bounce); 2 Jul 2008 14:46:34 -0400 Date: 2 Jul 2008 14:46:34 -0400 From: MAILER-DAEMON(a)[MAIL.RIGHTDOMAIN.COM] To: [LISTNAME]-bounces(a)[RIGHTDOMAIN.COM] Subject: failure notice Errors-To: mailman-bounces(a)[WRONGDOMAIN.COM] Hi.

Mailman stats
by Jesús Rivas July 3, 2008

July 3, 2008

Hi, i'm performing some tests with Mailman and Postfix over Centos5. Does some body know how many messages per hour can be sent? I´ll appreciate if some one could tell me what hardware and bandwith are using and your stats? What do I need to improve it? Thanks in advance. Jesus Alonso Rivas

Options for increasing throughput
by Fletcher Cocquyt July 2, 2008

July 2, 2008

Hi, I am observing periods of qfiles/in backlogs in the 400-600 message count range that take 1-2hours to clear with the standard Mailman 2.1.9 + Spamassassin (the vette log shows these messages process in an avg of ~10 seconds each) Is there an easy way to parallelize what looks like a single serialized Mailman queue? I see some posts re: multi-slice but nothing definitive I would also like the option of working this into an overall loadbalancing scheme where I have multiple smtp nodes … [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] Python process size grows 30x in 8 hours (memory

Last night I added ulimit -v 50000 To the /etc/init.d/mailman script and restarted And I am seeing the processes stop growing at 49M - and so far no adverse affects. I view this as a workaround until the underlying cause is determined...
