Unable to call REST API through Java or Postman
by Rohit Narurkar 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

Hello, I have setup Mailman just as it has been described in the documentation and installation instructions. I am working in a Python Virtual Environment, and have also made necessary changes in the "mailman.cfg" to add [mta] information. I can now run Python shell and access the REST API calls. For example, I can run "dump_json('http://localhost:8001/3.0/domains', None, None, 'restadmin', 'restpass')" to list all domains. I have also tried to follow another way, which works fine for me: >>> from httplib2 import Http >>> headers = { ... 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencode', ... 'Authorization': 'Basic cmVzdGFkbWluOnJlc3RwYXNz', ... } >>> url = 'http://localhost:8001/3.0/domains' >>> response, content = Http().request(url, 'GET', None, headers) And the content gives me the right expected value. Now, I am trying to make calls to the REST API through the Rest Template in Spring Java, and also through Postman. In Postman, I am adding 2 key-values in the 'headers', Content-Type and Authorization. And I am making a GET request to " http://localhost:8001/3.0/domains". Whenever I try this, the Mailman stops responding and I do not get any response. I cannot even call the REST API through Python until the Postman request is cancelled. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Can't force explicit reply to
by treal tv 16 Mar '16

I'm trying to follow the examples here and here. http://mailman.readthedocs.org/en/release-3.0/src/mailman/handlers/docs/rep… http://www.pythonhosted.org/mailman/src/mailman/handlers/docs/reply-to.html… I can't start because it won't recognize my commands. I've tried the mailman shell (mailman 3 from mailman-bundler) and normal python. When trying to do: >>> listname.reply_goes_to_list = ReplyToMunging.explicit_header I get back >>> listname.reply_to_address = 'mygood(a)address.net' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'mlist' is not defined I'm sure this is a newbie mistake but I would really appreciate any help on what I'm doing wrong here. Our situation is we're trying to run some anonymous lists, but when you set it to anonymous list, it overrides the "Explicit reply-to address", I'm trying to get it to use that explicit reply-to address, no matter where I have to configure it.

Please keep threads on the list unless there is necessary, private information in the post It seems you have Mailman-Postfix integration configured, so list aliases are in Mailman's data/aliases(.db) files. > /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py > > DEFAULT_URL_HOST = fqdn > DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'https://%s/mailman/' > DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = "example1.org" > > # Because we've overriden the virtual hosts above add_virtualhost > # MUST be called after they have been defined. > > add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) > > > /etc/postfix/main.cf <http://main.cf> When you want to show someone your Postfix config, give them the output of 'postconf -n'. ... > mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain, mx1.$mydomain, different1.org > > MTA = 'Postfix I hope this last line is actually in mm_cfg.py. So what happens if you just create a list normally and then in it's web UI, set it's General Options -> host_name to different1.org? I think all should be fine. If not, please post 'postconf -n' and details about what is not working with the list. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

can a single mailman/postfix instance run lists for two different domains?
by Jack Beanstallk 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

Hi, We have a mailman list running:- mailman hostname = lists.example1.org mailling list domain = example1.org mx record for example1.org points to lists.example1.org Mailman and postfix are configured to use the hostname and domain explicitly to handle example1.org mailing lists. Can a single mailman/postfix instance be configured to handle mailing lists for two different domains, if yes, how is this configured? e.g. mailman hostname = lists.example1.org mailling list domains to handle example1.org different1.org mx record for example1.org points to lists.example1.org There is no mx record for different1.org but if mailman/postfix can handle multiple domains, the mx record can change to point to lists.example1.org Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Mailman without localhost ?
by kapuzino＠web.de 13 Mar '16

13 Mar '16

Hello The new operator of my hosting decided to remove localhost from whitelist in plesk outbound filter to prevent spam and blacklisting. Anybody knows any chance to use mailman another way ? MM is still installed (v2.1.18), but recently only woks delivering to server-internal adresses. The service guy said, there might by a chance using smtp auth. I have no access to mm_cfg.py of my own, but perheaps the service assistant will do the job, if I give him information. (have a low price hosting) In an older post M.Sapiro wrote: Mailman can use the sendmail (or other) command to deliver mail. ... but DON'T DO IT. See the documentation in ...Sendmail.py ... for reasons. But sadly I don't understand it. Regards Kapuzino

Option: Mail delivery - disabled
by willi uebelherr 09 Mar '16

09 Mar '16

Dear friends, on the mailman maillist from WSF discuss the option: "Mail delivery" was changed from enabled to disabled without my activity. Do you know about some conditions, that that can be? Here this version entry in the header i found: X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.20 I am shure, that the admin people never will do it. Maybe, it is a side effect from other configuration or administration activities? PS: Jai Sen and Subbu Sastry are the admins of the WSF discuss list. Orsan Senalp is the admin of the NetworkedLabour discuss list. many thanks and greetings, willi St. Elena, Venezuela

How do I prevent subscribers from sending to -bounces address instead of list address?
by Hirayama, Pat 08 Mar '16

08 Mar '16

Greetings, Apparently, many of my subscribers must be using Outlook, so they see the mailto:listname-bounces@domain hypertext and are copying that to send new messages to the list. Aside from repeatedly telling the users that they need to send to listname@domain, have any of you found a better solution?

Dreamhost moderator login (also, a couple questions)
by Barry Rueger 08 Mar '16

08 Mar '16

I've spent an hour or so in the wiki, FAQs, and searching archives and Google, and have thus far come up dry. I have a one-click install of Mailman 2.1.17 at Dreamhost.com. I just added two users as Moderators, and am now trying to figure out how they can log in. The particular need is to add or remove the occasional list subscriber. I THINK a Moderator can do this? Every source that I've found says that moderator login is at: http://tld.org/mailman/admindb/list-name Problem is that the URL for the list I'm running is: http://lists.1234legsgood.com/admin.cgi/nspda_list-1234legsgood.com I've tried every way of adding /mailman/ and or /admindb/ to that URL and can't make it work. Anyone have a pointer for me? Many thanks. The thing that I love about Mailman is that since setting up this list three years ago it has required absolutely no attention - it just keeps working.

LDAP2MemberAdaptor
by Sebastian Rettenberger 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Dear Mailman Users, I would like to point you to a LDAP member adaptor I have written for Mailman 2: https://github.com/rettenbs/mailman-ldap-memberadaptor It is based on the work of https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/558106 but allows the adminstrator and the user to change most of the configuration options, e.g. digest/non-digest, enable/disable mail delivery, .... (Adding/removing users is still not possible.) To store these options, the build in member adaptor is used (no external database or LDAP modifications are required). Groups are also handled a bit different from the original LDAP adaptor: The orignal adaptor assumes that group stores user dn's while my adaptor connects them via the uid. I replaced this part because our LDAP is structured this way but it should not be to difficult to get back the original functionality. Be aware that the code is new in still in beta. Bug reports and patches are welcome. Best regards, Sebastian

Accessing archives from "deleted" mailing list
by pc03＠mulligan.org 04 Mar '16

04 Mar '16

I removed a mailing list, but left the archive intact. Is there a way to access the archive via the web interface. Since the mailing list has been deleted it seems that: http://mail.example.org/private/listname no longer works. I would assume that I can copy the archive (html files) elsewhere or perhaps set up some sort of apache "alias", but I was hoping that if I "rmlist"d the list and kept the archive I could still easily provide access to the old messages. Thanks, Geoff
