[Mailman-Users] Problems with news2email gateway after upgrading from 2.1.2 to 2.1.5

[Eric McDonald]

Hi:

Thanks for getting back to me.  Python 2.3 on Solaris 2.6  It was working fine with version 2.1.2?  Which I just upgraded from?

Yes, I do have an entry in my crontab file for this:

# crontab -l mailman
# At 8AM every day, mail reminders to admins as to pending requests.
# They are less likely to ignore these reminders if they're mailed
# early in the morning, but of course, this is local time... ;)
0 8 * * * /usr/local/bin/python -S /usr/local/mailman/cron/checkdbs
#
# At 9AM, send notifications to disabled members that are due to be
# reminded to re-enable their accounts.
0 9 * * * /usr/local/bin/python -S /usr/local/mailman/cron/disabled
#
# Noon, mail digests for lists that do periodic as well as threshhold delivery.
0 12 * * * /usr/local/bin/python -S /usr/local/mailman/cron/senddigests
#
# 5 AM on the first of each month, mail out password reminders.
0 5 1 * * /usr/local/bin/python -S /usr/local/mailman/cron/mailpasswds
#
# Every 5 mins, try to gate news to mail.  You can comment this one out
# if you don't want to allow gating, or don't have any going on right now,
# or want to exclusively use a callback strategy instead of polling.
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /usr/local/bin/python -S /usr/local/mailman/cron/gate_news
#
# At 3:27am every night, regenerate the gzip'd archive file.  Only
# turn this on if the internal archiver is used and
# GZIP_ARCHIVE_TXT_FILES is false in mm_cfg.py
27 3 * * * /usr/local/bin/python -S /usr/local/mailman/cron/nightly_gzip
# Remove any camp held message more than three days old
0 0 * * * /usr/local/mailman/bin/removecampheld.sh
0 1 * * * /usr/local/mailman/bin/mailmanctl -s stop
1 1 * * * /usr/local/mailman/bin/mailmanctl -s start

_None_ of these entries are needed anymore?  Including sending out passwords and digests?

Thanks,

Eric

	Mailman 2.1.x doesn't use cron anymore.  The fact that "cron" 
appears in this URL would seem to be an indicator that you are 
upgrading from version 2.0.x to 2.1.5, not 2.1.2 to 2.1.5.  Is that 
correct?

	You don't tell us anything about the OS you're using, what 
version of Python  you have, etc....  However, I would ask if you've 
seen the FAQ entry at 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq05.008.htp>?
