Mark, I moved my list following instructions you posted to me on 30 Jan. After the move, I attempted to log in as list admin, and received the following: Bug in Mailman version 2.1.9 We're sorry, we hit a bug! Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs. Do I need to restart services or something?

Mark and others, Thank you very much for your help with this. I have just one more question... The source Mailman for my list to be moved is version 2.1.5. The destination Mailman is version 2.1.9. Is there anything I need to take into consideration with my move? -Jeff >>> On 1/30/2009 at 11:47 AM, Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> wrote: Jeff Bernier wrote: >I am retiring an older system running Mailman, and I would like to move one of its lists to our shiny new server. … [View More]

mailman mod list
by Jim McIver Feb. 3, 2009

Feb. 3, 2009

I'm a newbie and have just had mailman 2.1 running on Freebsd with postfix for a couple of days. I've found a mod.py that will show users in a list that have the moderator bit set. # mod.py from Mailman import mm_cfg import sys def mod(list): for member in list.getMembers(): if list.getMemberOption(member, mm_cfg.Moderate): print member, "is moderated" How can I modify this to show users "don't" have the moderator bit set? Search FAQ...no luck. Regards, -jm

Disallowing Posts
by Tim Ferguson Feb. 3, 2009

Feb. 3, 2009

Although I could quite possibly overlooked it, is there a way to make a list to where only one person, say the moderator(s), list admin or site admin and post anything to the list? We like to set up a list for parents to sign up for to receive special notices from school but that they can not reply to OR actually send posts to themselves? Seems as though I've located an option pretty well for everything else except a "receive-only" mode, but then I'm known to not be able to see the trees for … [View More]

Commercial support?
by Naz Feb. 3, 2009

Feb. 3, 2009

I want to set up a mailman site, but I already have a fairly complex mail system with one machine handling multiple domains. I am finding it a little difficult, as I don't have a huge amount of experience with email system admin in general, so would like to ask if anyone knows of a company offering commercial mailman support. Alternatively, are there any members of the community with experience in this who would like a little extra work on the side. We don't need a huge amount done, … [View More]

Mailman crash during global address change
by Allan Hansen Feb. 2, 2009

Feb. 2, 2009

Dear list developers, A crash happened when a subscriber attempted to change his address with 'Apply Globaly' check box set. His subscriptions before the crash was: List1: old(a)address.com List2: new(a)address.com The crash happened the moment he attempted to confirm the change on the given web page. He was trying to change the address for List1 from old(a)address.com to new(a)address.com. I had him do the same thing again both with and without setting the 'Apply Globally' box. When the … [View More]check was set, the crash happened again. When he did not check it, the address change did happen without a crash. How it possibly can get to this error is beyond me. His new address did not appear in List1 and his old address did not appear in List2 (I checked before I asked him to repeat). I've detected no adverse effects from this crash, so this message is for your information only. I searched the archives for MMAlreadyAMember, but did not find anything useful.

Mailman url points to localhost after ProxyPass
by Jason Dixon Feb. 2, 2009

Feb. 2, 2009

To help Mailman work within the default OpenBSD httpd chroot, I have requests for /mailman/ doing a ProxyPass to apache2 running on localhost. This works great for everything except url's like /admin/ and /listinfo/. Everything below this works fine (e.g. /admin/foo). So if I load http://www.dixongroup.net/mailman/admin/, it gives me results for lists on 127.0.0.1 instead of the hostname. But all of the lists themselves work fine. And list_lists reports everything correctly as you'd expect.… [View More]

I'm getting all password reminder bounces
by Kirk Strauser Feb. 2, 2009

Feb. 2, 2009

I'm using Mailman 2.1.11 with Postfix 2.5.6 on FreeBSD 7.1. Each month (roughly since upgrading from 2.1.10), I've been getting all of the monthly password reminder bounce messages in my own inbox. I've set VERP_PASSWORD_REMINDERS = Yes in mm_cfg.py, and confirmed that the bounces are coming into Mailman and then being re-sent to me. Example headers: Received: from kanga.honeypot.net (localhost [IPv6:::1]) by kanga.honeypot.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id B3C663BABC for <kirk(a)… [View More]

Authorization problem

Feb. 1, 2009

I've just set up our first Mailman and when trying to create a new mailing list, other than the initial list, I'm receiving the message: Error: You are not authorized to create new mailing lists I'm stumped as the only password I've entered so far is the site administrator's password.
