MM3 Test "" Hangs
by Tom Browder 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

i have started investigating MM3 for my new, remote server and branched from lp:mailman, lp:postorius, and lp:hyperkitty. I started in the MM3 branch directory and followed instructions in src/mailman/docs/START.rst. I got the virtualenv ready to go and, in the local mailman branch directory, I executed: $ node2 -v All tests chug along nicely until: /usr/local/src/0-mailman3/src/mailman/rest/docs/membership.rst ... and it hangs longer than I think it should. After a <ctl-C> the last few trace-back lines are: File "/home/virtualenvs/mm3/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/storm-0.20-py2.7-linux-i686.egg/storm/database.py", line 374, in raw_execute self._run_execution(raw_cursor, args, params, statement) File "/home/virtualenvs/mm3/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/storm-0.20-py2.7-linux-i686.egg/storm/database.py", line 388, in _run_execution self._check_disconnect(raw_cursor.execute, *args) File "/home/virtualenvs/mm3/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/storm-0.20-py2.7-linux-i686.egg/storm/database.py", line 454, in _check_disconnect return function(*args, **kwargs) sqlite3.OperationalError: database is locked Note I am running the MM3 installation, via ssh, on a remote host running Debian 7, 32-bit. (Note also postfix is running.) I have no idea what to do next, and help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, -Tom

Thanks, Nicolas. -Tom

GNU Mailman sprinting at Pycon 2014
by Barry Warsaw 24 Feb '14

24 Feb '14

Hello sprinters! Once again, the GNU Mailman project will be sprinting at Pycon, this time the 2014 conference in Montreal. I've created a placeholder page for adding ideas about what you would like to work on, as well as our priorities. We'll be filling out details over the next few weeks, but feel free to start discussing ideas here. http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/PyCon+2014+Sprint Cheers, -Barry

MM 3 and OSCON 2014
by Tom Browder 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

Two questions: 1. What is the definitive link for the MM 3 branch for wannabe users (I haven't been able to find such on the wiki yet, but I know it's there)? 2. Is MM going to have a presence at O'reilly's OSCON 2014 in July? Thanks. Best regards, -Tom

Kernel update breaks Mailman!!
by Lindsay Haisley 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

I'm running Mailman 2.1.15 on a Ubuntu server, feeding into Courier MTA, running Python 2.7.3. I track security updates and install them promptly when they're issued by Ubuntu. Yesterday I updated the Linux kernel from 3.2.0-58-generic (x86_64) to 3.2.0-59-generic and Mailman quit working. List posts made it through to the archives, and were apparently queued within Mailman, but wouldn't go out. The mail server was working OK for non-list email. Today I backed out the kernel update and posts to lists sent yesterday and today are going out without problems. I can find nothing in the Mailman logs, or in the mail server logs, indicating a problem. This is the first time I've ever had a problem with a server kernel update breaking something related to mail. Has anyone else seen this problem? Does anyone have any insight into how to address it? -- Lindsay Haisley | "Everything works if you let it" FMP Computer Services | 512-259-1190 | --- The Roadie http://www.fmp.com |

Problem with messages held in Moderator Queue
by Andy Jeffries 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

I run a mailman (2.1.14-3ubuntu0.1) mailing list for a client. There are currently 14 emails stuck in the moderator queue. We've tried over and over again to choose to Discard them and click on Submit. Every time, the HTTP request POSTs to /cgi-bin/mailman/admindb/mailing-list-name-here, which 301 redirects to the same URL and the GET request loads exactly the same as before (i.e. it didn't remove any of the stuck emails). I've had a look at the filesystem and the /var/lib/mailman/lists/mailing-list-name-here/request.pck file's timestamp gets updated. That file (and the ones named /var/lib/mailman/data/heldmsg-mailing-list-name-here-10.pck) are owned by the "list" group which has "www-data" as a member (Nginx operates as www-data). Can anyone suggest what I should try next to get the web interface working? I know they can be deleted via a command line script, but I'm assuming if I do that, I'm going to be always doing this and I want the client to be able to do it themselves via the web interface. Many thanks, Andy

Mailman and postfix virtual user trouble
by Stefano Cislaghi 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

Hello, I'm configuring mailman and postfix with virtual domain support. The problem is that everytime I send an email to mylist(a)lists.anotherdom.net I got a reply error from postfix as <*mylist(a)mydomain.io <mylist(a)mydomain.io>>* (expanded from < mylist(a)lists.anotherdom.net>): User unknown in virtual alias table I do not understand why the list is traduced to mydomain.io that is not configured anywhere. My mm_cfg.py is: MAILMAN_SITE_LIST = 'mailman' DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/cgi-bin/mailman/' IMAGE_LOGOS = '/images/mailman/' DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'myhost.mydomain.io' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'myhost.mydomain.io' add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) DEFAULT_SERVER_LANGUAGE = 'en' DEFAULT_SEND_REMINDERS = 0 MTA='Postfix' POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['lists.anotherdom.net'] Here my main.cf configuration: http://pastebin.com/zNf9Lyn7 I see that virtual-mailman just translate: mylist(a)lists.anotherdom.net mylist And probably here postfix try to treat it as local address. However in /var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman is present mylist: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post mylist" Any idea? thanks Ste

Mail 2.1.12: We're sorry, we hit a bug!
by Srinivas B. 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Hi Environment: Mailman 2.1.12 on Amazon Linux 2012 with Python 2.6.9 and Virtualmin 4.0.5 GPL All our lists are under Emergency moderation. When a moderator goes to process held-messages and select "Preserve messages for the site administrator", then we see the following error: Bug in Mailman version 2.1.12 We're sorry, we hit a bug! Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs. And then we see the following in /var/log/mailman/error file: Feb 18 21:42:26 2014 admin(10273): @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ admin(10273): [----- Mailman Version: 2.1.12 -----] admin(10273): [----- Traceback ------] admin(10273): Traceback (most recent call last): admin(10273): File "/usr/lib/mailman/scripts/driver", line 112, in run_main admin(10273): main() admin(10273): File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admindb.py", line 165, in main admin(10273): process_form(mlist, doc, cgidata) admin(10273): File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admindb.py", line 716, in process_form admin(10273): forward, forwardaddr) admin(10273): File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/ListAdmin.py", line 167, in HandleRequest admin(10273): forward, addr) admin(10273): File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/ListAdmin.py", line 244, in __handlepost admin(10273): msg = cPickle.load(fp) admin(10273): ValueError: could not convert string to float Not selecting the checkbox titled: Preserve messages for site-administrator, is processing the emails just fine and there are no issues. Any insights on how to fix this error? PS: Trying to search for the text "We're sorry, we hit a bug!" on http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/, results in a ModPython/Lucene exception... Looks like "single-quote" is throwing off the search interface... -Srinivas
