Ok, I figured out the problem with this one. I ignored the advice in INSTALL and did the "make install" step as root. It was a permission problem and has been fixed. I think I'd still have the problem if one of the other modules attempted to log but if we never ask to log python doesn't complain about missing the LogMsg function.
Now on to other things.
I had to rename $prefix/scripts/dumb_deliver to $prefix/scripts/deliver -- is this ok? Should I have been doing something else? I use postfix as a mailer, but it provides a sendmail compatible interface. But even that should matter, since mailman uses smtp.
If I've turned off montly reminders about passwords, the welcome message still says they'll go out. I assume this is a "its still beta, don't worry about it" problem, but maybe not...
The big one, moderation. (and the whole reason I'm switching from SmartList to Mailman. I setup the list to send immediate notices when new requests come in. I also said yes to whether to send mail to the poster if the posting is held for approval. When I send an email to the list, the email is put into the list's database and I can (from the web) administratively approve/reject the submission. However, neither the person submitting the message nor the admin get any email notification. If I manually run checkdbs (like it is in the cron) I don't receive an email. Manually running I notice that something *is* sent to the -admin address of the list.
[mailman@gw cron]$ /usr/bin/python /home/mailman/cron/checkdbs -v test 3 test-admin@rupa.com
But nothing bounces back around for me. If I add my email address to the test-admin alias I get a copy. So it looks like wrapper mailowner test doesn't forward the email to myself. <ponder> actually,
Aha, I think I know what this one is. Postfix uses a header to look for mail loops. If mailman doesn't strip this header (Delivered-To:) then when it tries to deliver to itself again postfix treats it as a duplicate.
Is there a way to tell mailman to strip a header before forwarding the message to itself (or outside)?
Related to moderation. How do I go about editing a message? I want to reformat and/or add comments to messages I approve. With smartlist, I make the changes to the message and then resend in the message with the Approved: header. How would I do the equivalent with Mailman?
I guess thats it, more to come in the future, I'm sure.
