Using cronjob to remove and add members to a mailing list
by Jerry Barnabee 10 Aug '22

10 Aug '22

I want to be able to run a cronjob on my server that uses a php script to add new users and/or remove users from a mailing list. Not having any luck finding any simple examples. My thought is that the php script would get email addresses from a database (which I can do) and then feed them to a mailman command line to either add or remove a user. The cronjob is entered via Cpanel. Have several cronjobs that modify databases but have never tried something that would actually execute a unix command. Thanks, Pineyscripter

Add "sender's name/email" to BODY of mail as header?
by Mal 17 Feb '21

17 Feb '21

I want all mails sent to the list to come from the list's email address... But, in this case, if the user forgets to sign their name at the bottom of their mail body, effectively the mail to the list is anonymous...! Is there a way to add the user name (or email address) to the top of each mail so that the mails have the name of the sender, while the mail itself comes from the list address? I have looked high and low for an answer, but noone seems to have the solution. Thank you! Mal

Mailman CGI Error-Group mismatch error
by Wang, Mary Y 10 Sep '20

10 Sep '20

Hi, I received the following error this morning. So I rerun configure again with the following command: ./configure --with-cgi-id=apache --prefix=/var/mailman. I'm still getting the same error. Is there any place that I can look for so that I can debug this problem better? Perhaps, looking at the config history file or something. Any other places that I can check the cause of this error? "Mailman CGI error!!! The Mailman CGI wrapper encountered a fatal error. This entry is being stored in your syslog: Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the CGI wrapper script to be executed as group "nobody", but the system's web server executed the CGI script as group "apache". Try tweaking the web server to run the script as group "nobody", or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-cgi-gid=apache'." Thanks Mary

DMARC hack
by Allan Hansen 10 Apr '16

10 Apr '16

Hi, I have waited almost a year for AOL and Yahoo to admit that they messed up and to remove their DMARC policy. My AOL and Yahoo subscribers are pretty upset at me because I won’t let them post. A number now have two subscriptions, one for posting (from GMail) and another for receiving the messages. So against my better judgement, I included this hack in Cleanse.py; 22c22 < from email.Utils import formataddr, parseaddr — >from email.Utils import formataddr 69,74d68 < < # Added to deal with DMARC issuej < name, addrs = parseaddr(msg.get('from')) < addrs += '.invalid' < del msg['from'] < msg['from'] = formataddr((name, addrs)) \ No newline at end of file I found it in the discussion list. I don’t get compile errors, but Cleanse.pyc is not being updated. I have stopped and restarted Mailman and I have also rebooted, but same non-action. I have not tried ‘compileall’ and am not eager to, either (permissions, where to invoke, etc). Any suggestions? The host OS is Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 with Mailman 2.1.14 Yours, Allan

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have Mailman up and running. I just sent an e-mail to 5 lists and the e-mail came duplicated to the recipients. I checked the header and the only difference is the following: 1. Header: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-1.5 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_00 autolearn=unavailable version=3.3.1 2. Header: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-1.5 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 How can a avoid duplicates in future? What is the reason?

Mailman 3 - Some questions (addition)
by Krinetzki, Stephan 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

Hello, The last error in hyperkitty was because the https:// URL was missing in the BROWSER_AUDIENCE variable. Now I'm getting a new error: ERROR 2015-07-29 08:11:02,287 update_index 7216 140406344681280 Failed to update the fulltext index: 'Command' object has no attribute 'commit' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman/mailman-bundler/eggs/HyperKitty-1.0.1-py2.7.egg/hyperkitty/job s/update_index.py", line 58, in execute update_index() File "/opt/mailman/mailman-bundler/eggs/HyperKitty-1.0.1-py2.7.egg/hyperkitty/sea rch_indexes.py", line 73, in update_index update_cmd.update_backend("hyperkitty", "default") File "/opt/mailman/mailman-bundler/eggs/django_haystack-2.4.0-py2.7.egg/haystack/ management/commands/update_index.py", line 233, in update_backend do_update(backend, index, qs, start, end, total, verbosity=self.verbosity, commit=self.commit) AttributeError: 'Command' object has no attribute 'commit' As far as I can tell, there is an error with the haystack indexing of archived mails. But how to fix this? I'm clueless. And the questions from the first mail: In mailman 2, I've created a list and added a new owner. Then the owner get an email, with his password and a link to the admin page of the list. How does this work in mailman3? If I create an list in mailman3 and set the owner, then the email address is the owner, but he isn't noticed. So what steps are needed to get an password for the new owner and admin of the list? Is it possible to get Shibboleth (https://www.shibboleth.net) working with mailman3? The link in the welcome mail to the info page of the list is wrong. It says http://lists.example.com/listinfo/list@lists.example.com and if I visit this link, I get an 404 error. (example.com is here a real domain). The Second link says http://example.com/me@host.com where the example.com part seems to be hardcoded. Thank you for your help and I hope my English is not too bad (I'm just a German IT Administrator...) Greetings from Germany Stephan Krinetzki

But some days later create file perm automatically changed to 0. Again and again create file perm automatically changed to 0. I want create file perm always to 2755. How can i fix this issue. Please help me. -- Thanks and Regards, Selva Gajendran.S

Mailman 3 - Some questions
by Krinetzki, Stephan 28 Jul '15

28 Jul '15

Hello, I am planning to migrate from mailman 2.1.14 to mailman 3. At the moment mailman 3 is running on a new CentOS 7 server with postfix as MTA. But I have some questions and problems: 1. I have an error with hyperkitty. After receiving an mail I'm getting this error: Jul 28 11:31:06 2015 (3227) ACCEPT: <DAF46B4691C451439746B086FB8AA4FFA33CB9(a)MBX-S1.rwth-ad.de> Jul 28 11:31:07 2015 (3221) HyperKitty failure on http://127.0.0.1/archives/api/mailman/urls: <h1>Bad Request (400)</h1> (400) Jul 28 11:31:07 2015 (3221) HyperKitty failure on http://127.0.0.1/archives/api/mailman/urls: <h1>Bad Request (400)</h1> (400) Jul 28 11:31:08 2015 (3231) HyperKitty failure on http://127.0.0.1/archives/api/mailman/archive: <h1>Bad Request (400)</h1> (400) Jul 28 11:31:08 2015 (3231) Broken archiver: hyperkitty Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman/mailman-bundler/venv-3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/r unners/archive.py", line 107, in _dispose archiver.system_archiver.archive_message(mlist, msg_copy) File "/opt/mailman/mailman-bundler/venv-3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman_h yperkitty/__init__.py", line 132, in archive_message raise ValueError(result.text) ValueError: <h1>Bad Request (400)</h1> So the mail is delivered to the list, but not in the archive. I'm no python expert, so I can't say what's wrong. Any kind of help is appreciated. 2. In mailman 2, I've created a list and added a new owner. Then the owner get an email, with his password and a link to the admin page of the list. How does this work in mailman3? If I create an list in mailman3 and set the owner, then the email address is the owner, but he isn't noticed. So what steps are needed to get an password for the new owner and admin of the list? 3. Is it possible to get Shibboleth (https://www.shibboleth.net) working with mailman3? 4. The link in the welcome mail to the info page of the list is wrong. It says http://lists.example.com/listinfo/list@lists.example.com and if I visit this link, I get an 404 error. (example.com is here a real domain). The Second link says http://example.com/me@host.com where the example.com part seems to be hardcoded.
