Tracker updates auto-accept not working
by LeenaNair 30 Jul '09

Hi, I am facing a problem in the tracker updates for sending mails. I am creating a new tracker item. I need to receive any updates on that tracker item and also if a person creates another tracker item. For that, the following is the process I followed: 1) Went to the admin setting of the tracker item. (Tracker -> Admin -> update setting). In the field "Send email on new submission to address:", I entered the mailman ID i created in GFORGE. I checked the option "Send email on all changes". 2) Then I created a tracker item. A mail was generated but since it was not approved, I went to the mailman administrator. Then I clicked the link "Tend to pending moderator requests". And then clicked on accept for the both the options. 3) I checked in the "Privacy options... " -> [Sender filters] . The ID that was not to be moderated came in the "Non-member filters" category in the field "List of non-member addresses whose postings should be automatically accepted." But yet after I try updating the tracker or creating a new tracker, I still have to approve and the mails are not automatically accepted. Please help me on this. Thanks in advance Leena -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Tracker-updates-auto-accept-not-working-tp24719838p24… Sent from the Mailman - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

need advice - our mailman server is down
by Town Country Florist - Luke 30 Jul '09

Hi, My name is Luke and would greatly appreciate any advice and direction.. My ham radio club located here in Western New York has been using the mailman email reflector for many many years, with much success. The server hosting the mailman program was set up by a local ham radio guy at his place of employment. Unfortunately, he lost his job due to the company cutting back and he moved out of state and can no longer provide us with the mailman reflector. The company made him remove the computer (server) In fact about 6 other ham radio clubs in our area were also affected. I looked into yahoo & Google groups to replace the Mailman reflector. Personally I do not care for them because it is NOT what "mailman " can provide. just a simple way to send out group emails to the subscribed members our our list . My question is .. I am looking for an existing mailman server that would be willing to allow our club space on their server for our mailing list. your help would be appreciated my direct email is luke @ gmail.com thanks, Luke ------------------------

I have not included the initial part of this thread, as my reply is "generic". I have looked at Debian/Ubuntu packaging, and there are a large number of patches included in any Debian/Ubuntu Mailman package. There are fewer for 2.1.12 than for previous releases. A 2.1.9 package has 43 patches. A 2.1.5 package has 47 patches. When I was building my own Ubuntu package from the SourceForge source, I looked at each one of these patches. Most were undocumented; there was no reference to a Debian/Ubuntu bug number. The only one I kept was one that placed files in the "proper" directories for Ubuntu. When I looked at three security patches, I found that two matched the SourceForge code, but one differed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Barry S.

broken URL link for public archive lists
by geraud.guibert＠free.fr 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

hello everyone from France ! ;-) done the 'direct upgrade' from 2.1.9 to 2.1.11 some time ago and just noticed something broken concerning the public archives (pipermail) :-( IMHO, there are some junked data, on ALL the HTML listinfo pages of the "public lists" (lists with public archives), that break the URL link to them i think there's a pb with a bad {} substitution, perhaps done in python scripts or in my mailman configuration file to be more precise, here is a piece of broken HTML code (https://mailman.onera/mailman/listinfo/test) : ... <p> Pour voir tous les messages passés de la liste, visitez les <a href="https://{'listname': 'test', 'hostname':'mailman.onera:443'}:443/pipermail/test/"> Archives de test</a>. </p> ... and how it would be nice to have it : ... <p> Pour voir tous les messages passés de la liste, visitez les <a href="https://mailman.onera:443/pipermail/test/"> Archives de test</a>. </p> ... all ideas and suggestions will be welcomed sincerely yours

The bug report (dated 4 Nov 2002) states: Hi, pipermail screws up threading in case that two messages which were sent at the same time both start a new thread. New messages to either thread are then only listed below. The problem is that threadKey in a thread starting message is only a function of message Date, nothing else. It may not happen that often in human communication that two messages are written at the very same time, but it happens with a lot of cron generated output here. Does this problem exists in the SourceForge distribution? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Barry S.

Outlook Indenting messages
by Gerrat Rickert 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Recently, and in the past, when posting to a python mailing list (not this one specifically), my message has been indented and placed under the last message (of a completely unrelated post). -ie. it looks like I've hijacked a thread. I didn't however - I created a brand new email message (from scratch) and sent it to the list. Any ideas on how or why it would appear like I was responding to a completely unrelated post? (there was actually nothing I could even find in common on my subject line and the subject of the post where my message appeared indented under.) After reading the FAQ, and searching the archives, I couldn't find anything related to this, so I'll ask here. I would like to determine if this is a mailman-related issue in general, something specific with some mailman-run mailing lists that I post to, or a problem specifically related to our Outlook or Outlook Exchange setup. (...I was hoping for a different answer than the obvious "don't use Outlook") ...maybe, If I'm lucky, this message will hijack a thread, and the answer will be obvious to "the-powers-that-be". Thanks for any help Gerrat

Sorry to reply to my own question but the problem is solved. It was a stupid error in modifying "NonDigest.py" to hide some topics. --Frank Elsner

config_lists yields error
by Frank Elsner 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi all, I've a working installation of mailman-2.1.11. Suddenly the "config_lists" stops working :-( The command "./config_list -o - sandbox" ends its output with | ## Nondigest options | # | Traceback (most recent call last): | File "./config_list", line 362, in ? | main() | File "./config_list", line 355, in main | do_output(listname, outfile) | File "./config_list", line 128, in do_output | do_list_categories(mlist, k, None, outfp) | File "./config_list", line 148, in do_list_categories | desc = NL.join([s.lstrip() for s in info[0].split('\n')]) | AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'split' As far as I remember the command worked in the past and the list wasn't re-configured. What's the reason? Any pointer to solve the problem is welcome. --Frank Elsner
