Error I couldnt find in archives
by J.A. Terranson May 11, 2009

May 11, 2009

Good Evening, I just finished (well, I guess *almost finished*) a mailman build (2.1.12), and all seems well - except for a cron output which is being seen as a mailman moderation request. The crucial message at the end of the traceback is: IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/home/mailman/lists/spam-l/config.pck' which makes no sense, as the list is in use with subscribers, and seems fine except for this. My only additional data would be that this was a *very* difficult build … [View More]

Removing from retry queue
by Jeffrey Goldberg May 10, 2009

May 10, 2009

I have a couple of messages in my retry queue that will never go any where. I've been waiting for mailman to give up on them, but it's been several days now, and like to avoid the clutter in my SMTP logs. How long will mailman keep trying in the face of a 450 from the local SMTP server? And where is that length set. Also to dequeue these do I just remove the .pck files from qfiles/ retry ? Or is there a better way to remove them. I tried bin/discard but I complained that the … [View More]

Patch: Preserve Content-Transfer-Encoding when adding footer or scrubbing
by Petr Hroudný May 9, 2009

May 9, 2009

Hi all, when mailman is configured to add header/footer to messages or if it scrubbs attachments, as a side effect it changes Content-Transfer-Encoding of the messages from 8-bit to e.g. base64. However, without any header/footer the messages are passed exactly as received, unmodified. This is highly undesirable in some cases. For instance, mailinglist might be used to distribute trouble tickets or other content which is expected to be easily parsable by automated text-based utilities. At the … [View More]

Mailman appends hostname to some address on mail list
by Tom Tilmant May 8, 2009

May 8, 2009

I have been using mailman for several years with my current VPS provider. About a month ago I started getting complaints from users that they were not receiving e-mails. I have a spam problem with the server about the same time and contribute most of the undeliverable because of that. But the complaints became more frequent and I was able to give my service provider to provide me with the log files and I started to notice that when I sent an e-mail out to a mailing list say "parents(a)DOMIAN.… [View More]
