ValueError: math domain error on crontab jobs
Hi all,
I have been noticing since installing mailman from my RedHat 8.0 cd, that I have been getting these cron job errors, they seem to vary, but the main errors are:
Cron <mailman@eir> /usr/bin/python -S /var/mailman/cron/gate_news: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 40, in ? from Mailman import MailList File "/var/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 36, in ? from Mailman import Utils File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Utils.py", line 32, in ? import random File "/usr/lib/python2.2/random.py", line 91, in ? NV_MAGICCONST = 4 * _exp(-0.5)/_sqrt(2.0) ValueError: math domain error
Cron <mailman@eir> /usr/bin/python -S /var/mailman/cron/qrunner: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/mailman/cron/qrunner", line 84, in ? from Mailman import Utils File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Utils.py", line 32, in ? import random File "/usr/lib/python2.2/random.py", line 91, in ? NV_MAGICCONST = 4 * _exp(-0.5)/_sqrt(2.0) ValueError: math domain error
I've done some hunting, but so far found nothing that I feel is relevant.
Could someone possably, explain what the errros mean and how I could fix them.
Apart from these, mailman its is working perfectly ok, on an enclioed private testing network.
Cheers

Hi all,
Cron <mailman@eir> /usr/bin/python -S /var/mailman/cron/gate_news:
Set your box a real domain name? Create a file : /etc/HOSTNAME And put there FDQN from box :)
Maybe then it works right. But i could be wrong.....

Thats what I was thinking, as this is a private internal tesing network, it has a madeup domainname, but local DNS resolves this correctly.
The problem may be down to the two settings I had in mm_cfg.py.
When I first set it up, I put the required information as specified, ie I set the hostname, but rather than sending mails from
angelnet-announce-request@angelnet.int
I was getting them from:
angelnet-announce-request@eir.angelnet.int
hence my options below:
DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = 'angelnet.int' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'mailman.angelnet.int' DEFAULT_URL = 'http://%s/mailman/' % DEFAULT_URL_HOST MAILMAN_OWNER = 'mailman-owner@%s' % DEFAULT_HOST_NAME
my /etc/hosts is listed as below:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 eir.angelnet.int mailman mail localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.2 eir.angelnet.int eir
FQDN: eir.angelnet.int
Sorry is the above is incorect, but that was the only way I could resolve the problem. All mail on my domain , can be sent to someone@angelnet.int and it gets sorted correctly (by the mx address of the domain), but mailman seems to want to put the fqdn is there instead.
