Group mismatch error (mail wrapper script)
by Rosenbaum, Larry M. Feb. 28, 2012

Feb. 28, 2012

I'm migrating Mailman to a new server and getting the following error when I send mail to a list: #5.3.0 x-unix; Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as one of the following groups: [mail, postfix, mailman, nobody, daemon], but the system's mail server executed the mail script as group: "users". Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as one of these groups: [mail, postfix, mailman, nobody, daemon], or re-run configure providing the command line … [View More]

Prepending previous message text to current message
by Atkins, Brian CTR Feb. 28, 2012

Feb. 28, 2012

I am having an issue with one of my more active lists whereby the previous message text is being prepended to the latest message. The odd thing is that the message, as it appears in the list archives is as it should be, though the message sent to the subscribers appears as thus: "This is the previous message sent." "This is the latest message." "List footer." The only anomaly I found with the list was a member with a malformed email address, "#user(a)domain.com". I have since removed the user … [View More]

Link to web archive in footer
by John Elliot Feb. 26, 2012

Feb. 26, 2012

Hi there. I'm trying to configure my mailman msg_footer so that it includes a link to the pipermail message stored in the web archive. So that if I'm looking at a message in my inbox I can easily find a link to refer to that message. I've read the documentation concerning msg_footer but it only lists real_name, list_name, host_name, web_page_url, description, info and cgiext as available variables -- though I have learned there are in fact more than this available I do not know what they are … [View More]

digest-mode not functioning properly
by Lluis Montoliu Feb. 25, 2012

Feb. 25, 2012

Dear listers, Suddenly, some users of two mailman (version 2.1.11) lists I am administering have started to complain about digest-mode not functioning properly. In brief, messages are not being sent in digest-mode. Settings are 1024 Kb for size before sending a digest message or daily, if this size isn't reached, new digest volumes should be started daily too. No messages sent. I have tried to trigger the "immediate sending digest-mode" from administration settings (Should Mailman send … [View More]

No archive
by Peter Feb. 24, 2012

Feb. 24, 2012

Hi I did upgrade from Debian5 to 6 and running mailman version 2.1.13 I have postfix running with aliases in mysql. I move the aliases tabel to the new server To move the list to the new server did the next steps: newlist ping, give the needed info, add the members. Then I import the old mbox files and create the archive with: bin/arch ping archives/private/ping.mbox/ping.mbox So far so good. I can send and receive email to and receive them from the list. I see the old archive, BUT there … [View More]

mailman and virtual mailboxes on same domain
by Cédric Jeanneret Feb. 24, 2012

Feb. 24, 2012

Hello people! I'm having big troubles with a special setup: one server, one domain (say foo.bar.com), virtual mailboxes (managed by ldap), and a mailman I'm using postfix and dovecot for the "standard" mail part, and this works well. My problem is for mailman: While trying to send email to my-list(a)foo.bar.com, postfix tells me this: Feb 23 09:49:25 sqdf3 postfix/smtpd[14760]: connect from myHost[myIP] Feb 23 09:49:25 sqdf3 postfix/smtpd[14760]: 1CAECBE69AC: client=myHost[myIP] Feb 23 … [View More]09:49:25 sqdf3 postfix/cleanup[14765]: 1CAECBE69AC: message-id=<20120223084925.0B86537AAEF(a)mail.myhost> Feb 23 09:49:25 sqdf3 postfix/qmgr[14759]: 1CAECBE69AC: from=<me@myhost>, size=513, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 23 09:49:25 sqdf3 postfix/smtpd[14760]: disconnect from myHost[myIP] Feb 23 09:49:25 sqdf3 postfix/virtual[14766]: 1CAECBE69AC: to=<|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post my-list(a)foo.bar.com>, orig_to=<my-list(a)foo.bar.com>, relay=virtual, delay=0.03, delays=0.02/0/0/0.01, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (unknown user: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post my-list(a)foo.bar.com") Feb 23 09:49:25 sqdf3 postfix/cleanup[14765]: 23D50BE69F5: message-id=<20120223084925.23D50BE69F5(a)foo.bar.com> Feb 23 09:49:25 sqdf3 postfix/qmgr[14759]: 23D50BE69F5: from=<>, size=2585, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 23 09:49:25 sqdf3 postfix/bounce[14767]: 1CAECBE69AC: sender non-delivery notification: 23D50BE69F5 Feb 23 09:49:25 sqdf3 postfix/qmgr[14759]: 1CAECBE69AC: removed (and it sends me back a delivery failure due to unknown user) Here's my postfix configuration: smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU) biff = no # appending .domain is the MUA's job. append_dot_mydomain = no # Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings #delay_warning_time = 4h alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases mydestination = foo.bar.com, localhost mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 inet_interfaces = all recipient_delimiter = + smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous myorigin = foo.bar.com smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth owner_request_special = no smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/ssl/foo_bundle.crt smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/foo.crt smtpd_use_tls = yes smtpd_sasl_tls_security_options = $smtpd_sasl_security_options smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes default_process_limit = 5 smtpd_recipient_restrictions = check_recipient_access hash:/etc/postfix/access, permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination, reject_unlisted_recipient smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/keyForApache2.key transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport virtual_transport = virtual virtual_transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-aliases.cf, hash:/etc/postfix/virtual virtual_alias_mbox = ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-mbox.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-accounts.cf virtual_gid_maps = static:104 virtual_minimum_uid = 8 virtual_uid_maps = static:8 virtual_mailbox_domains = foo.bar.com virtual_mailbox_base = / mailman_destination_recipient_limit = 1 smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot The virtual user delivery works just fine.

finding moderators of a list
by Hone, Don Feb. 23, 2012

Feb. 23, 2012

Is there a way as list owner or as system admin, to sort a mailman membership list based on whether someone's moderation flag is set, or perhaps export that list into a format that includes all of the various option columns that could then dump into Excel? We have a list of over 700 members and it would take some time to click through and look at each page manually to find out who has the Mod box unchecked.

Digest distribution time problem
by Conor –––––– Feb. 23, 2012

Feb. 23, 2012

Hello, After having read several different threads in the archives about altering the crontab file entry to change when the senddigests script is run, effectively distributing each list's daily digest, I am still at a loss. I've changed the entry so it appears it would distribute the digests at 9AM each day, but, no matter what I do, the digests still distribute at the installation default time of noon. For example, here is what the entry looks like now: # 9AM, mail digests for lists that do … [View More]

English "translation"
by William Donnelly Feb. 23, 2012

Feb. 23, 2012

I'm using mailman version 2.1.13. I've seen some web references to "English translation" files in /messages/en/LC_MESSAGES/ But there is no such directory, or mailman.po and mailman.mo files. Is this some option, or something some people have set up themselves, or what is going on? Why isn't that used so we can change text without having to modify mailman python code and recompile, etc.? I want to modify the page "code-generated" known as "Confirm subscription request", among others. … [View More]

run script when virtual-mailman is updated
by Peter Sørensen Feb. 22, 2012

Feb. 22, 2012

Hi, I have a script that take email addresses from virtual-mailman and write them to my postfix relay_recipients table This to avoid handling any address that mailman don't know of. I would like to have this script run whenever the virtual-mailman is updated. I can of course run bin/genaliases to rebuild completely but is it possible to put this In somwhere ?? Best regards Peter Sørensen/Univ.Of.Southern Denmark/email: maspsr(a)sdu.dk
