How to force retry queue to try again?
by Richard Johnson 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

I'm trying to find some documentation on how to force my retry ("RetryRunner") queue to try delivery again. I'll keep searching but thought I'd toss a quick note here as well. Anyone? Thanks for any help you can provide! /raj

Submitting the members page
by Bernie Cosell 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

Just for reference: I just checked and when I make a change in just one list member, includes a bit of stuff: csrf_token and findmember and setmemberopts_btn and allmodbit_val For every member on the page: _realname, user, _language, Plus, every checkbox that is "on" is also sent. I know that manyof you think I'm nuts and all this hassle I'm going through to program-submit mailman's forms is silly. But: I manage 8 lists now [it'll soon be nine or ten] and it is really very nice that I can open a windows command prompt and just type mailman LIST1 -s jim jim(a)hisdomain.com and in one stroke "jim" is "subscribed" [-u unsubscribes, etc] [not to mention how much I've learned about the wonders of the web developer addin for Firefox...:o)] /Bernie\ Bernie Cosell bernie(a)fantasyfarm.com -- Too many people; too few sheep --

Unexpected password reminder from this list
by Jayson Smith 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

Hi, Last night at 11:15 or so, I received a password reminder from Mailman-users, with my correct password. Only problem is, I never requested such a reminder. Did anyone else get one, was someone testing something with a random sample of subscribers, or was I targeted (not realizing that they'd have to hack my Email account to get the password)? Thanks, Jayson

Banned Addresses
by Mike Flannigan 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

We have lists with a lot of banned addresses. Is it necessary to click on a white X in a red box for each address removed, or is there a trick with the reg expression box to remove banned addresses? In most cases we want to remove ALL of the banned addresses. Mike

Just a footnote to this: If you have a big list and you're trying to, say, change the 'nomail' setting via the membership page, you're going to have a *lot* of POST parameters! Every person subscribed to the list that's listed on that page will generate something like 10 form variables. That's going to be a *big* POST! Just to flip one bit..:o) /Bernie\ Bernie Cosell bernie(a)fantasyfarm.com -- Too many people; too few sheep --

POST problem fixed!
by Bernie Cosell 05 Aug '18

05 Aug '18

I discovered, after much mucking around, that the problem is that Mailman requires all of the form fields to be submitted. So unsubscribing with just @fields = ( unsubscribees => "$email", setmemberopts_btn => "Submit Your Changes", ) ; Doesn't work. What does work is: @fields = ( send_unsub_ack_to_this_batch => 0, send_unsub_notifications_to_list_owner => 1 , unsubscribees => "$email", setmemberopts_btn => "Submit Your Changes", Content => { unsubscribers_upload => "" }, ) ; YAY! /Bernie\ Bernie Cosell bernie(a)fantasyfarm.com -- Too many people; too few sheep --

Automatic web subscription format
by Jason Wandel 05 Aug '18

05 Aug '18

Hi all, I'm using mm 2.1.26 on a lamp install from a hosting company... But have downloaded the code to look through locally. I'm trying to automatically subscribe/unsubscribe members to an already restricted access list. This is because I have a separate webform that's used to select people already in our non-mm database. I've found some info including on the list history (one from back in 2001 though the link provided on that no longer exists). I think I'm most of the way there, I'm now getting a "bad/invalid email address" error from the following (obscured) url, reporting on the Firstname Lastname: http://domain/mailman/admin/list_domain/members/add?subscribe_or_invite=0&s… notification_to_list_owner=0&subscribees=Firstname%20Lastname%20<email@otherdomain>&adminpw=the password I've tried without quotes and with single or double quotes around the name and the name/address combo, all without success. It looks like I'm getting a failure due to email.Utils.parseaddr as called from admin.py (I think line 1465), which supposedly accepts double quotes around the name portion. Could I please ask for guidance on the format needed to make this work? TIA!

Hi Have list with ~50 members. One fails to receive messages with email ending in @q.com. And I see notice that Mailman is having trouble (bounces) from that address. Where do I start to sort this out? Thank you
