That's interesting, will try that as well because it's much more reliable than fiddling around PLESK errors which might always lead to trouble in future updates! Thanks! Best regards, Stefan.

I have been running a 2.1.14 version for quite a few months now with no problems. At some point this weekend, it stopped sending mail. I get neither error messages nor bounces. Can I get some help troubleshooting? Bill McNutt Technology Coordinator Center for Literacy Studies at the University of Tennessee

Feb. 5, 2012

I am seeing this error with all mail sent to just one (of several) mailman mailing lists that are operating without problems. I found some related discussions in the archives, but nothing that (as far as I could tell) corresponds to what I am seeing. Sorry for my MUA's line wrapping: --- Feb 04 20:31:51 2012 (1176) Uncaught runner exception: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u201c' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128) Feb 04 20:31:51 2012 (1176) Traceback (most recent call last): … [View More]

by Sundaram Ramachandran Feb. 5, 2012

The initial status is [Created] I could have … [View More]

At the time, I thought it was going to go back into the main distribution. Would it be possible to … [View More]

Feb. 4, 2012

I have an old Mailman installation (2.1.14) using postfix virtual domains. There was a problem with permissions, and so a lot of messages were shunted. I fixed permissions, and mailing lists are working, but list moderator requests are not being sent. My 'post' logs a are filled with messages saying: Feb 03 22:39:34 2012 (30455) post to mailman from mailman-owner(a)mydomain.com, size=1694, message-id=<mailman.4011.1328072998.27420.mailman(a)mydomain.com>, 1 failures This message repeats … [View More]

Feb. 2, 2012

Hi I'm moving to mailman from another service and I'd like to ask them to provide a file of several years of email for our records. Is it possible to import emails into Mailman? Can I include attachments in an import? What format would I be advised to ask for the emails to be in from the old group? Thanks Walter Logeman
