Re: [Mailman-Users] Shunt Queue and Mailman logging
by Jeff Bernier March 11, 2009

March 11, 2009

Thank you Mark for your help. I found my Mailman logs, and discovered that in fact the problem was due to permissions. A few of the files in shunt were messages to a list that no longer exists. I deleted these out manually, corrected the file permissions, then ran unshunt. The archive now shows the messages I mentioned in my original message below. I did however, notice that after I change permissions (I'm doing this from a Windows SCP tool), my changes don't appear to "stick". I'm logging … [View More]

Shunt Queue and Mailman logging
by Jeff Bernier March 11, 2009

March 11, 2009

Hello, I have a couple of newbie questions... I 've noticed several files in my shunt folder. when I run show_qfiles, I see that they are messages to one of my lists. I have contacted the list owner/moderator, and this person tells me messages to the list are going out just fine... although I do not see any recent messages in the list archive. A quick search tells me to look at my Mailman log to see why these messages were put in the Shunt Queue. I cannot find my Mailman log. There does … [View More]

Question about mailing lists and domain names
by Dale & Lora Marshall March 9, 2009

March 9, 2009

Mailman folks - I'm not really sure how to ask the question or even look up the answer in the FAQs or on Google. I have a new Mailman installation and it seems to be working fine if I send email to "list(a)www.domain.com" but not if I send email to "list(a)domain.com". I am using Sendmail on Fedora 10 (and name-based virtual hosts under Apache). If I send to the domain without the "www" nothing shows up in maillog but if I send to "www" then everything shows up. I have added both … [View More]

Mailman Config problems
by Thomas Clark March 8, 2009

March 8, 2009

Hey guys my name is Thomas Clark and I am having trouble setting up mailman on my Linux Gentoo server. I have emerged it and set up the mm_cfg.py file, the problem is that the website that you visit to to join the group is on a different server then were we want the actual mail to go. I was wondering how we could get the Post-fix to communicate with both servers so that the emails are delivered. Thanks, Thomas Clark

Nesting lists, and other things
by John Jackson March 7, 2009

March 7, 2009

Hi Everyone! :) What's the correct way (if any) to nest Mailman lists? Is it correct practice to subscribe email addresses from the local host's alias file to the same host's Mailman lists? Are there any suggested ways to expand on the Description information displayed on the http://xxx.yyy.zzz.edu/mailman/listinfo/ page, without actually sticking all that information into the list's field for that (since that's what's also used to form the list's 'Sender's Proper Name' in messages that … [View More]
