Mailman+SpamBayes for Mailman 2.2
by skip＠pobox.com April 8, 2009

April 8, 2009

Sorry about the rather broad distribution. A few people have inquired recently about this code. I *think* I successfully migrated my cron/gate_news changes to the mailman 2.2 branch. The modified mailman2.2 branch is available here: bzr+ssh://smontanaro@bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Esmontanaro/mailman/SpamBayes/ (I have no idea how these strange URLs work. You'll probably need to snip out the "smontanaro@" bit. What you might replace it with I have no clue or if the protocol needs to be … [View More]

Compile on Mac Leopard - config settings?
by Matthias Schmidt April 8, 2009

April 8, 2009

Hello All, I just subscribed after fiddeling around for a day with mailman on Leopard (Mac OS 10.5.6 Server on a G4 PPC dual). After looking a bit on mailman, I just decided to download the last version and try to install it. That looked actually good, but the startup daemon plist doesn't like the new mailman meal I just cooked. I was running configure like this: sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/share/mailman --with-username=_mailman -- with-groupname=_mailman --with-mail-gid=_mailman --with-… [View More]

setting up the mailing list
by Rasa Isaacson April 8, 2009

April 8, 2009

Our organization wants to set up a mailing list in a very generic fashion. We would like to list the board members as approved members using the generic emails we have set up: president(a)ourwebsite.org vicepresident(a)outwebsite.org etc... We have a forwarder set up through our website (hosted by Lunarpages--don't know if that matters) that associates the generic email address to the personal email account for the board member, so if a email sent to president(a)ourwebsite.org is received it's … [View More]

Soft bounces....
by Charles Gregory April 7, 2009

April 7, 2009

Hallo! Running into a small bit of frustration. Yahoo expects me to respond promptly to 5xx bounces, disabling any subscriptions, otherwise it starts generating 'greylist' 4xx bounces for my mail. Unfortunately, if I try to lower the bounce threshold, the now-daily occurence of 4xx bounces guarantees that all yahoo addresses will end up disabled. Is there any way, short of fiddling with and recompiling from source, to separate 'hard' bounce handling from 'soft' bounce handling, or to … [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] Unable to receive Zimbra-generated mail forwardedby Mailman
by Pete Smith April 7, 2009

April 7, 2009

Unfortunately, I don't control the installations of Mailman where this is happening, and each of those supports a wide variety of mailing lists that have many digest subscribers. Fortunately, one of the Mailman developers is on the case, and I hope your message will point him in a useful direction.

"no publicly-advertised Mailman mailing lists" error
by Greg Earle April 7, 2009

April 7, 2009

I'm trying to move an existing Mailman 2.1.9 (with ht://Dig patches integrated) from an old machine running RHEL 3 Update 9 onto a newer machine running RHEL 5 Update 3. I've copied everything across that I can find, but when I go to the main .../mailman/ list info page on the new machine, I get a page saying "There currently are no publicly-advertised Mailman mailing lists on [new host]." Obviously on the present host I get all the current lists, delineated. Oddly, if I go to an … [View More]

Check_perms reports invalid syntax?
by Bill Christensen April 6, 2009

April 6, 2009

Hi all, I'm setting up a new server with Mailman. After installing I tried bin/check_perms -f and got: file "bin/check_perms", line 44 ''' ^ Syntax error: invalid syntax I'm running Python 2.5.1. My existing server, running Mailman 2.1.11/Python 2.3, has the same line and no problems with it. Any ideas? Do I need to upgrade or patch Python, and if so which 2.5 or better version works with Mailman? thanks -- Bill Christensen <http://greenbuilder.com/contact/> Green … [View More]
