Read-only File System
by John Nov. 20, 2024

Nov. 20, 2024

Hello, Several days ago, I posted a message to his list concerning our installation of Mailman 2, and a weird problem that caused messages posted to a list to fail, as /usr/local/mailman/qfiles/in/ was behaving like it was read-only. First off, thanks to everyone who replied with suggestions. While we haven't determined what was causing this issue, we did devise a work-around of sorts. I'm posting it here in case someone else encounters the same issue. The problem that we encountered was that mailman / python regarded /usr/local/mailman/qfiles and all the directories under it to be read-only. They're not - anything else that wants to create a file therein can do so. This was how we fixed it: 1. Stop mailman if it's running. 2. cd /usr/local/mailman . 3. cp -R qfiles /qfiles . (I suspect there are more appropriate places to copy the directory to, such as /var - this worked for us and we stopped messing with it.) 4. mv qfiles qfiles.dist - just in case you ever figure out the real cause and want to reverse all this. 5. ln -s /qfiles qfiles . (That is, create a symbolic link to the /qfiles directory, or wherever you decided to put it.) 6. Start mailman Mailman proved to have no problem writing to the relocated qfiles directory, and everything magically started working. Hope this saves someone from banging their head against a wall, as we very nearly wound up doing. ::Jack

Sharing PHP or Scripts to a list
by patricia traore Nov. 8, 2024

Nov. 8, 2024

Hi All, I hope that I'm asking in the right place. We have just created a developers discussion public list in our organization with over 47 subscribers. My question is, in case someone shares some php codes in his message, will that code affect the corresponding html page of that message, while browsing the archive of messages publicly from a web browser? Or will pipermail instead display the shared codes as plain text? Thanks, Patricia Traore Project Lead, Maniflex Ltd | maniflexa.com

Problem after upgrade to mailman-2.1.30-1
by Ivan Tejeiro Izquierdo Sept. 22, 2024

Sept. 22, 2024

Hi Mark: After upgrade to mailman-2.1.30-1 when I create a new list, the list is created correctly in the alias file and in virtual-mailman file, but the new list does not work until I run the command /usr/lib/mailman/bin/genalises. Any ideas? Thank you very much as always for your invaluable help.

Digests are not sent
by Christian Buser Sept. 10, 2024

Sept. 10, 2024

Hi all Mailing list running in Mailman 2.1.39 / cPanel. The digest option seems not to work. Users are complaining that they don’t receive the daily digests, and trying to send a digest manually with "send_digest_now" results in the following error message: Bug in Mailman version 2.1.39 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 or the web server logs. Any idea what we could do here? Thank you, Christian -- Christian Buser, Hohle Gasse 6, CH-5507 Mellingen (Switzerland)

Disabling digests
by Christian Sept. 10, 2024

Sept. 10, 2024

Hi all A question which came up after my problem with digests not being sent out: If I disable digests, so that new subscribers cannot choose how to receive messages - what hapens to existing "digest subscribers"? Are they automatically merged into the normal subscribers or do they just no longer receive anything from that list because no digest is created? Mailman runs in a cPanel environment.
