[Mailman-Users] RE: Nothing happens!

[Firas R.]

Thanks for the advice, I upgraded to sendmail-8.9.3-20 (I didn't make any of
the other changes) and I found the source of the problem.
It turned out that the relay options must be specified in the
/etc/mail/update_pop.conf file  not the  /etc/mail/access file because this
keeps getting  overwriten whenever /usr/sbin/update_pop  runs

So I've finally managed to get sendmail to allow localhost relaying, i setup
a test list, and it sends me the new mailing list email :-)
But unfortunately i've got a new problem .....

If I try to access http://www.ourserver.com/mailman/admin/test  I get an
"Internal Server Error"
Checking apache's logs I found the following :

error_log:[Sat Jun 30 16:22:25 2001] [error] [client 207.172.11.232]
Premature end of script headers: /home2/mailman/cgi-bin/admin
suexec_log:[2001-06-30 16:22:25]: directory is writable by others:
(/home2/mailman/cgi-bin)

Is this an Apache problem or is it related to the scripts themselves ?

Once this also happened with me, no matter what I modified in the
sendmail it does not accept my message.

There could be 3 things you can do:

 1. change the sendmail version
     sendmail-8.9.3-20 is working perfectly on my machine, I had
     to make a downgrade
 2. read the README.SENDMAIL in the mailman source, it shows you
    how to react with sendmail in different way
 3. Take a look at the /home/mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py

# Delivery module for the message pipeline.  See
# Mailman/Handlers/HandlerAPI.py for details.  Unless overridden
specifically
# in that module, this handler is used for message delivery to the list, and
# to an individual user.  This value must be a string naming a module in the
# Mailman.Handlers package.
#
# SECURITY WARNING: The Sendmail module is not secure!  Please read the
# comments in Mailman/Handlers/Sendmail.py for details.  Use at your own
# risk.
#
#DELIVERY_MODULE = 'Sendmail'
DELIVERY_MODULE = 'SMTPDirect'

You should change to Sendmail instead of SMTPDirect.

One of this have to work!
