Hi, we recently moved our Mailman server from a RHEL 3 machine running Mailman 2.1.9 to a RHEL 5 system running Mailman 2.1.14. Everything went very smoothly, but today I noticed one small issue. For various reasons we use 'lists.uni-koeln.de' as URL_HOST, but as EMAIL_HOST we use 'uni-koeln.de'. So the address for the sitelist is mailman(a)uni-koeln.de. On the old system we were able to receive mail for @lists.uni-koeln.de addresses as well, but on the new system we can't. But the … [View More]

Hi, The server on which Mailman was installed was upgraded from Linux 3 to 4 to 5 (32 bit). Mailman no longer works on this server.

An Anonymous, No-reply List
by b19141＠anl.gov Oct. 29, 2010

Oct. 29, 2010

I have a customer who wants a announce-only list. She does not want any replies to the list or to the poster. In production we are running 2.1.13, and I have 2.1.14 on my test machine. We made the list anonymous anonymous_list = yes and the resulting mail from the list has a header line: Reply-To: LISTNAME@nodename so all replies go back to the list. I tried reply_goes_to_list - Explicit address reply_to_address: user(a)example.com and the resulting mail from the … [View More]

Follow up to a Lock problem.
by Llewellyn Curran Oct. 28, 2010

Oct. 28, 2010

Hi All, I've summarized my issue below, and I would like to say I have around 215K subscribers on a Dedicated Server With a Quad Xeon CPU and 4GB's Ram. Most notably Mailman chews up around 2GB's+ of Ram but completely max's my CPU usage in top on CentOS. Python runs about 98% to 100% - I suspect this is from a mail drop going on however it doesn't explain below. Please read on. Mailman Version: 2.1.9 Symptoms: I had an issue a month or so ago where my web interface on " http://mysite.com/… [View More]mailman/admin/mylist" would lock up on login, and I couldnt access that list. The other lists I could access no problems. I was guided to the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/noA9> by Mark S. and that temporarily relieved the problem. I find now that I have to completely delete my locks everytime I want to go to a new location in the admin interface. I have included some errors from the locks log below. Can you assist me?

Archives! Two neat demos from my GSoC students
by Terri Oda Oct. 26, 2010

Oct. 26, 2010

As some of you may know, Mailman had a bunch of Google Summer of Code students working on our codebase via Systers, which hired students to do improvements on their Mailman-based list infrastructure. I was mentoring for the project which worked on the archives, where we had two students, Yian Shang who worked on the web interface for the archives, and Priya Iyer who worked on integrating search. They've produced some great demos that you all need to see, and some code that I'd really … [View More]

one line command to change generic_nonmember_action
by Syn, Joonho Oct. 25, 2010

Oct. 25, 2010

I'm writing a simplified mailman dashboard page for my company's internal use and one of the functions we want is to be able to toggle the generic_nonmember_action for any given list. Has anyone out there devised a one line command which will allow this?

Auto-generating messages "to the list", instead of "to the member"
by Mike Maughan Oct. 25, 2010

Oct. 25, 2010

Afternoon all, Amongst others I run a mailman list for our family history society (The Maughan Society) and like many such lists we get quite a lot of new members "dropping in" with a specific query then "dropping out" again once they have that specific question answered. Our community aims to keep interested members and to grow in numbers, so one specific moderation task has been to post a "welcome to new member xxxxx" message to the list to draw the new member in to discuss their interests … [View More]

A rare moment
by Mark J Bradakis Oct. 25, 2010

Oct. 25, 2010

I've been running various automotive related mailing lists, web pages, FTP sites and such for over twenty years. It is a labor of love, not a means of making money, so tending to outstanding requests is not top priority. But I've had a nasty cold the last few days, and have spent some time working on Team.Net since I can't do much else besides sit at the computer, sniffle and cough. With 60 or so lists and 12,000+ subscribers around the globe it is easy to get behind. I've seen 10,000 or … [View More]
