Mark, No... I cannot get to the moved lists URL. I get the same Bug in Mailman message. I seem to be able to do all the administrative and subscriber tasks with all other lists. the individual lists URLs will work... I just can no longer get to the main Mailman list page at: http://mailman-host-name/mailman/listinfo or: http://mailman-host-name/mailman/admin. Additionally, I don't thing the withlist command was successful for the list I attempted to move. And other Mailman commands seem to … [View More]fail as well, such as list_lists, and list_admins, producing similar results as what I had forwarded below. I will take a look at the link you noted to try to determine where the fault is. Of course, ultimately, it's my fault. I'm very new to Unix based commands, and Mailman in general, so I really appreciate your patience and assistance here.

Any Ideas what this means? Both the above traceback from list_lists and the Bug from the listinfo overview page say that the lists/LISTNAME/config.pck file is corrupt for some list. The most likely candidate is the list you just moved, but if the withlist fix_url worked, that one should be OK. See the post at <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2008-October/063597.html> for a way to find out which list has the problem config.pck. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

I was moving a list from one server to another, and following creating directories and moving files, I attempted to run the following command: withlist -l -r fix_url LISTNAME Now I cannot get to my main Mailman page. I see the Bug in Mailman version 2.1.9 message. I can however get to each individual list manager url and login. When I type list_lists at the command line, I get the following in return: sh-3.2# ./list_lists Traceback (most recent call last): File "./list_lists", line … [View More]

Mark, I am now able to send to the list. Mailman's MTA (Postfix) is set to relay mail through our Messaging firewall. It just so happened there was a minor problem there interrupting mail flow from Mailman. That is now fixed. Everything now seems ok with this moved list but for one thing. Messages will not archive. I can see the archive as it was before the move... but new messages will not go to the archive. If I try to rebuild the archive for this list with ./arch --wipe LISTNAME, and … [View More]

Hi, I received on a list a post by a non member. I was in a hurry, and I checked 2 "accept" boxes through the web interface. The second "accept", was, I think about to accept all the future post from that guy, but I dont really remember... sorry. The problem is now the man can send email to the list wihtout being member. If he was a member, I would just have discarded him, but he's not! How to reset that thing? (I dont want to guy to be able to post in the list). Thank you -- Chef de … [View More]

Trouble Sending Messages
by Tim Ferguson Feb. 4, 2009

Feb. 4, 2009

I'm having trouble getting messages out to subscribers. Approval messages, when I approve a new subscriber, are making it to their destination as are messages if a subscriber has been rejected. When I send a message to the list for an announcement, it is never received and nothing comes back. Any suggestions and/or ideas on where to look would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tim Tim Ferguson Director of Technology Centralia City Schools Centralia, Illinois 62801 618-532-1907, Ext. 1030
