Hi all,
I have a registration form where users, amongst other things, choose a
number of mailing lists to sign up to. I don't want users to have to go
and individually sign up to each list, so I'm trying to automate the
signup process.
After doing a bit of reading around, the closest I've got is to generate
a plaintext file of email addresses for each newsletter and then use a
cron command to sign these up, using the add_users program.
To test, I've been running this cron command:
echo t...@testing.co.uk |
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/add_members -r - info
Where info is the listname (i...@nanotp.org)
I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/add_members", line 258, in ?

I tried check_perms -f and get the same error:
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/check_perms -f
Warning: Private archive directory is other-executable (o+x).
This could allow other users on your system to read private
archives.
If you're on a shared multiuser system, you should consult the
installation manual on how to fix this.
Traceback (most recent call last):

checkarchivedbs()

in checkarchivedbs
for dir in os.listdir(mm_cfg.PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_FILE_DIR):
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/archives/private'
Can anyone suggest a way to get around this problem? Or an alternative
method of automating signups (they can be totally silent). I have tried
a similar method using the PHP exec() command to hit the same program
but had similar permission problems.
Cheers,
Phil
