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.
