Thanks for the reply. Yes, it does the same thing. Is there a debug option for this? On 3/20/2011 10:19 AM, Andrew Hodgson wrote: > Hi, > > Have you tried it without any arguments?

I have a test list with just me as a member ('python -S /usr/lib/mailman/cron/mailpasswds -l testlist'). I never received anything.

Setting to prevent winmail.dat
by Dave Anderson 21 Mar '11

21 Mar '11

I have a mailing list that replaces attachments (pdf,doc,docx,...) with winmail.dat for one of our domain spaces, let's call it @student.example.ca. The messages are sent from Outlook (Exchange) to the list and they appear fine in gmail and our primary domain. This is an older list, but the kicker is that one of my new lists sends attachments to @student.example.ca just fine, no .dat file. I have gone through the old list and applied the same settings that are on the new list and still the .dat attachment is still received. Apart from rebuilding the old list, is there anything else I should try? Regards, Dave Anderson

modify newlist created email?
by Paul Morrison 21 Mar '11

21 Mar '11

Hi Everyone, Does anyone know how to modify the contents of the email message that is sent to the list owner when a list is initially created in Mailman? I'm talking about this e-mail: ----------------------------------------------------------------- The mailing list `temporary' has just been created for you. The following is some basic information about your mailing list. Your mailing list password is: xxxxxxx You need this password to configure your mailing list. You also need it to handle administrative requests, such as approving mail if you choose to run a moderated list. You can configure your mailing list at the following web page: ------------------------------------------------------------- I'd like to modify this e-mail to include a custom URL and subject... Thanks, Paul

For reasons unknown I am suddenly not at to access list archives (as admin). I ran check_perms but it found no problems and there is nothing in the logs. Can someone suggest a course of action to debug this? TIA.

Monthly Reminder Question
by Dennis Putnam 19 Mar '11

What triggers the monthly reminder? I cannot find any config parameter that lets me set what day or date in each month to send it. Does this have t be done manually with a cron job? If so what is the command?

Almost there... bouncing email
by Anderson Goulart 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Hi, I've just installed mailman, apache and postfix on a debian squeeze machine. Everything seems to be correct, What I can do until now: - I can create a list and manage it by the web browser - /etc/aliases are created correctly - I can subscribe to a list and a confirmation email arrives correct. - Confirmation link are ok - If I send an email to a list without subscription, the list-owner receive the pending for approval email. What is wrong? When i send an email using a subscribed user, it is bounced by mailman. I can't figure out what is wrong... any clues? Why it tries to send an email as www-data(a)lists.formarte.net? See the mail.info log below: Mar 17 23:48:09 xray274 postfix/smtpd[19066]: connect from mail-gw0-f52.google.com[74.125.83.52] Mar 17 23:48:10 xray274 postfix/smtpd[19066]: AEF01CC0041: client=mail-gw0-f52.google.com[74.125.83.52] Mar 17 23:48:10 xray274 postfix/cleanup[19071]: AEF01CC0041: message-id=<1BE1CD18-A99A-46ED-A373-82AE7C6276A9(a)goulart.info> Mar 17 23:48:10 xray274 postfix/qmgr[18432]: AEF01CC0041: from=<global(a)goulart.info>, size=1049, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 17 23:48:11 xray274 postfix/pipe[19072]: AEF01CC0041: to=<c(a)lists.formarte.net>, relay=mailman, delay=0.59, delays=0.38/0.01/0/0.21, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via mailman service) Mar 17 23:48:11 xray274 postfix/qmgr[18432]: AEF01CC0041: removed Mar 17 23:48:12 xray274 postfix/smtpd[19074]: connect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] Mar 17 23:48:12 xray274 postfix/smtpd[19074]: 60CCDCC0041: client=localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] Mar 17 23:48:12 xray274 postfix/cleanup[19071]: 60CCDCC0041: message-id=<1BE1CD18-A99A-46ED-A373-82AE7C6276A9(a)goulart.info> Mar 17 23:48:12 xray274 postfix/qmgr[18432]: 60CCDCC0041: from=<c-bounces(a)lists.formarte.net>, size=2037, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 17 23:48:12 xray274 postfix/smtpd[19074]: disconnect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] Mar 17 23:48:14 xray274 postfix/smtp[19075]: 60CCDCC0041: to=<global(a)goulart.info>, relay=aspmx.l.google.com[74.125.43.27]:25, delay=1.8, delays=0.01/0.01/0.06/1.7, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 OK 1300405694 r25si7312502bkw.93) Mar 17 23:48:14 xray274 postfix/qmgr[18432]: 60CCDCC0041: removed Mar 17 23:48:41 xray274 postfix/smtpd[19066]: disconnect from mail-gw0-f52.google.com[74.125.83.52] Mar 17 23:50:02 xray274 postfix/pickup[19008]: 07005CC0046: uid=33 from=<www-data> Mar 17 23:50:02 xray274 postfix/cleanup[19091]: 07005CC0046: message-id=<20110317235002.07005CC0046(a)abc.lists.formarte.net> Mar 17 23:50:02 xray274 postfix/qmgr[18432]: 07005CC0046: from=<www-data(a)lists.formarte.net>, size=873, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 17 23:50:02 xray274 postfix/pipe[19092]: 07005CC0046: to=<www-data(a)lists.formarte.net>, orig_to=<www-data>, relay=mailman, delay=0.15, delays=0.04/0.01/0/0.11, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (user unknown) Mar 17 23:50:02 xray274 postfix/cleanup[19091]: 23A4ACC0047: message-id=<20110317235002.23A4ACC0047(a)abc.lists.formarte.net> Mar 17 23:50:02 xray274 postfix/bounce[19094]: 07005CC0046: sender non-delivery notification: 23A4ACC0047 Mar 17 23:50:02 xray274 postfix/qmgr[18432]: 23A4ACC0047: from=<>, size=2743, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 17 23:50:02 xray274 postfix/qmgr[18432]: 07005CC0046: removed Mar 17 23:50:02 xray274 postfix/pipe[19092]: 23A4ACC0047: to=<www-data(a)lists.formarte.net>, relay=mailman, delay=0.1, delays=0/0/0/0.1, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (user unknown) Mar 17 23:50:02 xray274 postfix/qmgr[18432]: 23A4ACC0047: removed Thanks, anderson

python 3 and mailman 2.1.12
by Hal Huntley 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

python 3.1 was just installed on a system where I am running mailman 2.1.12. It seems to have broken the mailman web interface and sending of mail via mailman lists. An error from the mailer daemon when sending to one of the lists gives me a traceback: == ----- Transcript of session follows ----- Message delivered to mailing list <tm(a)saturn.sri.com> Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/mailman/scripts/post", line 31, in <module> import paths File "/usr/local/mailman/scripts/paths.py", line 40, in <module> s = unicode('OK', 'iso-2022-jp') NameError: name 'unicode' is not defined 554 5.3.0 unknown mailer error 1 == I notice in other posts that some versions of python 2 and mailman are not compatible. I am guessing the same is true for python 3. I see on the python page that 3 is the "shiny new thing". python 2.3.3 is still on our system, but one of our users wants to "upgrade". For mailman 2.1.12 purposes, should I revert to say python 2.7? Or is 2.1.14 compatible with python 3? Thanks, Hal Huntley

How can I add the field "member name" in a body if a email? Like "Hello Bill" can become "Hello %(user)s". Is it possible?
