Cannot start after ubuntu upgrade
by Jeff Taylor April 9, 2014

April 9, 2014

I just upgraded an old ubuntu machine from oneiric to precise, and now I cannot get mailman to run. Something starts up long enough to set a pid file, but then it simply dies. There is nothing being added to either syslog or any of the mailman log files. I tried reinstalling mailman, and made sure there were no other packages that needed to finish installing after the upgrade, but I can't seem to find anything wrong. I've been searching google for a way to increase logging verbosity, … [View More]

sendmail and mailman mail0-wrapper
by Bruce Harrison April 8, 2014

April 8, 2014

Installing a new version of mailman on a new virtual machine (debian 4.6.3-14), and Mailman is complaining of a group mismatch error on the mail-wrapper. System is executing as mail and mailman wants it executed as mailman group. Looked for the smrsh config in sendmail, but this version on Debian seems not to use that. Also can't get sendmail to accept remote connections. Localhost works fine. Telnet to port 25 on host works fine. Remote telnet gets "554 mailman2.xxx.xxx ESMTP not accepting … [View More]

Prevent user subscription based on word pattern
by Hung Phan April 8, 2014

April 8, 2014

Can we add email address into the Ban List based on word pattern? We have a particular email address that we want to prevent from re-subscribe. However, we would like to prevent any emails that have "sexy" pattern in. Yes, we have an email subscribed to our lists and as soon as a message send out. The senders will receive replies soliciting meetup encounter. If we want to prevent any emails that contain the word "sexy", will this works? *sexy* Thank you,

subscribed address that forwards to secondary address can't be identified
by Christopher Adams April 7, 2014

April 7, 2014

Hello all, This is not necessarily a Mailman question, but I thought someone administering Mailman may have come across this before. A person is receiving mail through a list. The address that they are currently using (@gmail.com) is not subscribed to the list. I assume that means a subscribed address is forwarding to the gmail account. The gmail account people don't have any idea what they could have been subscribed as. I thought maybe the Mailman or MTA logs would show the susbscribed … [View More]

Moderator page similar to the admin page
by Henrik Rasmussen April 3, 2014

April 3, 2014

I am running Mailman version 2.1.12. How to I present a moderator-page similar to the /admin/ page, containing a list of Maillists to moderate? Or does moderators only have the option of entering the URL as mentioned at https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2004-December/041411.html Yours faithfully Henrik Rasmussen

Automatic entry into aliases file
by Anne Anderson April 1, 2014

April 1, 2014

Hello - We just moved Mailman to a new server and the version we're now using is 2.1.14. I'm sorry I don't remember what the old version was, but it was pretty old... we had not upgraded for years (oops). Anyway, with our old Mailman, whenever I created a new list it would automatically put a nice stanza into my aliases file that looked like this: # STANZA START: academicsenate # CREATED: Fri Sep 5 14:31:10 2008 academicsenate: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post … [View More]
