Question about the "Group mismatch error" when updating mailman service
by Sean May 26, 2009

May 26, 2009

Dear all I have a strange question for creating a new list after updating mailman server. Currently, I had updated my mailman server to a new machine. (mailman-2.1.5_2 -> mailman-2.1.9_5) My server is FreeBSD 7.0, Postfix + mailman 2.1.9_5 And I translate the lists and archives on old machine to new machine. I called these lists "old lists". The old lists can work correctly on the new machine. Now I create a new list by bin/newlist, but it got a error when I send mail to this new list … [View More]

Folks -- I'm thinking of changing the name of one of my lists and have read through the FAQ 4.70 <http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030617> which says the basic tasks are: mv lists/oldlist lists/newlist mv archives/private/oldlist archives/private/newlist mv archives/private/oldlist.mbox archives/private/newlist.mbox mv archives/private/newlist.mbox/oldlist.mbox archives/private/newlist.mbox/newlist.mbox as well as rebuilding the archives.

How to unshunt?
by Ulf Dunkel May 26, 2009

May 26, 2009

I recently changed my Mailman 2.1.9 installation to use and support Unicode. I cannot update to a newer Mailman version as long as my Debian Etch hasn't been upgraded to the current Debian version, as I have been told by my ISP. I have found various error reports in /var/log/mailman/error and fixed everything to have a usable Mailman again. But there are still many shunted emails in /qfiles/retry/, /qfiles/shunt/ and /qfiles/virgin/. When I try $ /var/lib/mailman/bin/unshunt $ -bash: … [View More]

How list archive is stored internally?
by Kārlis Repsons May 26, 2009

May 26, 2009

Hello! I would like to ask you a couple of questions: 1. How list's mail archive is stored internally and, so, how can it be later copied over to a new server, say, after an upgrade? 2. Is there some way to use a fixed http link to the latest mail archive (current month or last N messages)? Thanks and please cc to my address too! Kārlis

correcting archive URLs
by admin2 May 26, 2009

May 26, 2009

Hi there, I have Migrating a mail list from one Host to another host. I see that the archives have URL pointers to domain1.com . I no longer own domain1.com and would like to replace domain1.com with domain2.com is there an application already written to do that? Here is what I see in the archives. --- snip --- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.domain1.com/pipermail/listname/attachments/20060928/79676479/a… --- snip ---- Cheers, Noah

Re: [Mailman-Users] Help! "Stuck Messages"
by Aaron Marcavitch May 24, 2009

May 24, 2009

Sorry - I know I am explaining it badly. It may be that there is a fallacy here - and I am trying to make a connection that isn't there. Lets focus on the primary problem. I have personally sent emails to the system and I know others have as well - but there are none that are in the admin approval section of the web interface. They last time I approved any emails was 14 days ago - even though many have been sent there. The only reason I can figure out that these messages are not coming up … [View More]from approval is because I deleted several emails. I went ahead and deleted them because....well, because I'm new with Mailman and didn't know that they would be deleted after a while.... I have now turned off emergency moderation to see if that does anything. I just dont know if there is some setting that is causing these emails to not come through....I would be glad to have some expert out there help us out to look over our settings.
