Problem with mailing list
by Elizabeth Cotterell 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

Hi there - I have been having problems with my MAILMAN mailing list that my hosting service believes is a MAILMAN related problem rather than a hosting one. I can't post to the list, though the support staff at the hosting service can... My message gets to MAILMAN but disappears into the ether once it has been approved, and isn't showing up in the archives. The list is brillante(a)brillante.com.au. How do I get support for this? thanks, Elizabeth -- Elizabeth Cotterell Brillante Pty Ltd PO Box 4136 Kingston ACT 2604 AUSTRALIA email: info(a)brillante.com.au web: www.brillante.com.au

How to reduce list archives
by Hans Joachim Wenzel 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

Hi, we "private" archive all our lists - and its come the time where we need to free space up on the volume that its archiving to. We are using version 2.1.12. We tried to edit the archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file to remove the messages we don't want and then run 'bin/arch --wipe listname' and got: exim@mailhost-locust] /usr/local/mailman/bin $ ./arch --wipe security #00000 <20090102122338.D9D2A15804B(a)flens.dfn-cert.de> Schreibe Archivzustand in Datei /HAmailhost/mailman/archives/private/security/pipermail.pck Traceback (most recent call last): File "./arch", line 201, in ? main() File "./arch", line 189, in main archiver.processUnixMailbox(fp, start, end) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/pipermail.py", line 578, in processUnixMailbox a = self._makeArticle(m, self.sequence) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py", line 684, in _makeArticle mlist=self.maillist) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py", line 308, in __init__ charset = message.get_content_charset(cset_out) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/email/Message.py", line 800, in get_content_charset charset = unicode(charset, 'us-ascii').encode('us-ascii') TypeError: decoding Unicode is not supported The archive was completely lost and restored from backup. Any help would be appropriate. Thanks.

Unsubscribe link on msg_footer
by Andrea Cappelli 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

Hi list, I would place in email footer the link to give possibility to the user to unsubscribe (possibly directly, without insert the password) I try to do this adding in msg_footer the following Unsubscribe: %(user_optionsurl)s?password=%(user_password) s&unsub=1&unsubconfirm=1 but Mailman (2.1.11 on Debian Lenny) said me that I can't use user_optionsutl in this variable There is any other way to do this? Thank you

Upgrading Mailman on Mac Server 10.5.8 - Stuck!
by Paul Kleeberg 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

I am upgrading preinstalled versions of Mailman (first 2.1.9 => 2.1.12 on a clean install of server 10.5.8 as practice then I will do 2.1.12 rc1 => 2.1.12 in production on server 10.6.2) and I am running into a bunch of minor issues. I have made it through most of them but this one has me stuck. When I try and run mailmanctl, I get the error message: Shutting down Mailman's master qrunner PID unreadable in: /usr/share/mailman/data/master-qrunner.pid [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/share/mailman/data/master-qrunner.pid' Is qrunner even running? and I find that the file is in another directory: /private/var/mailman/data/master-qrunner.pid I have tried different things in the bin/config command, but nothing appears to work. I have tried searching for a solution but have found nothing. Can anyone help? Paul -- Paul Kleeberg paul(a)fpen.org

Management

Dear Sir, I have just subscribed for one list, and would like to do fine tuning. I would like to change the notification, from daily to instant. The problem is that the webadmin of our mailing list is not available anymore. It was few years ago I guess (simply login/paswd). Maybe you could help me, where is this webpage admin if present. thank you Best regards Y.
