You can always regenerate your aliases from scratch with bin/genaliases

Right, and Mailman knows what the site list is (well, you tell it in
MAILMAN_SITE_LIST -- defaulting to "mailman") so it knows to handle
bounces to the list in a special way.

As for how to configure the list, nothing special is necessary, but may
be desired.  In particular, you want to subscribe yourself to the list,
and set a few privacy options.  You don't want others to subscribe to
your list, etc.

I've put together a suggested configuration template which I'll
distribute with Mailman 2.1.2.  I'll attach it below so you can take a
look at it.  Install it with config_list.

Any time you make a change to mm_cfg.py you need to restart mailmanctl,
otherwise none of the qrunners will see the changes.

Are you using the aliases.db file generated by bin/genaliases?  If so,
be sure that the owner and group are mailman, and compile
--with-mail-gid=mailman.  That should be all you need to make it work.

[Mailman-Users] Using Mailman with Apache James

[Güray Sen]

Hullo everyone,

Has anyone got Mailman to work with the Apache James mail server? I seem 
to be running into a configuration problem. After creating the list 
Test, Mailman tells me to setup the following aliases:

## test mailing list
## created: 21-Mar-2003 root
test:"|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper post test"
test-admin:  "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner test"
test-request:"|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test"
test-owner:  test-admin
Easy enough if you are using sendmail, because you can just copy&paste 
the above into /etc/aliases and run "newaliases". What about James? I 
can create aliases with the Remote Administrator, but I don't think 
James supports the piping construct.

Any idea's appreciated.

When starting Mailman from "sudo bin/mailmanctl start", this is what  
appears in my terminal window:

[zaius:/usr/local/mailman] ted% sudo bin/mailmanctl start

[Mailman-Users] install problem

[Erich Neuwirth]

i just installed mailman 2.1.1 on debian manually because i need things 
in different directories, and because debina only is at 2.0.11.
my mailer is the current version of postfix from the debian distribution.
postfix works.

the strage thins is that
setgid_group=postdrop
on main.cf of postfix, but
--with-mail-gid=postdrop does not work.
i had to do
--with-mail-gid=nogroup
(i was told so by a mail with an error message).
mailman has additional problems.

i set up a test list,
and mail to the list gets stuck in
mailman/qfiles/in
it does not get sent from there.

any ideas what might be the reason?
which aspect of the configuration do i have to change?
any hints how i might be up and running soon?

I'm not sure I can stretch my memory back to January, but I think the
issue was that the genaliases script doesn't create a file with the
aliases in them unless you are using Postfix (presumably with the MTA
variable set to Postfix). I'm running sendmail and the MTA variable is
at the default (i.e., Manual). I think the only way to get a list of
all of the aliases is to capture the output of the genaliases script
and manually remove the extra comment lines ("To finish creating your
mailing list . . .").

Re: [Mailman-Users] Name or service not known

[Marilyn Davis]

I'm still pulling out my hair on this one, and a hairless woman is not
a pretty thing.  

It's still old 2.0.13 and I need to run that on this particular
machine.

I figured out that the SMTPDirect thing was going straight out a port
rather than piping to exim.  This is a standalone machine for
development and testing.

So, in my mm_cfg.py I put:

DELIVERY_MODULE = 'Sendmail'

but it didn't fix it.

How can I get it to use sendmail (linked to exim) instead of the
SMTPDirect module?

genaliases depends on the MTA variable setting in mm_cfg.py.  If you
wanted to run Exim with manual aliases, you'd set MTA='Manual'

This is a known bug, fixed in cvs.  The problem only occurs when
attempting to deliver to an unknown user on the machine running Mailman.
At issue is the error code returned by Postfix in this case -- it
indicates a temporary error, not a permanent error, so Mailman keeps
trying to re-deliver the message.  Another fix in cvs is to have Mailman
backoff retries of temp failures for some period of time.

This fix will be in Mailman 2.1.2 (no ETA, but soon).

Did you do both things?  You should do only one.  Both the mail server
and mailman need to run under the same group.

I think.

Hmmm.  It sounds like you don't have the complete installation, but I

Mailman v.2.1.1
Postfix v.2.0.6
Python v.2.2.2
I get this error from the mail server:

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Command died with status 2:
"/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman". Command output:  
Group
mismatch error.  Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be  
executed as
group "mailman", but the system's mail server executed the mail  
script as
group "nobody".  Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as  
group
"mailman", or re-run configure,  providing the command line option
`--with-mail-gid=nobody'.
Reporting-MTA: dns; zaius.groupd.com
Arrival-Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2003 12:57:54 -0800 (PST)

But when I reconfigure everything to correct this, I get the same exact  
error, but with "mailman" and "nobody" swapped. In other words, no  
matter how I configure mailman, whether with "nobody" or "mailman", it  
bounced the mail.

Also, when executing bin/mailmanctl start, I get these errors:

Starting Mailman's master qrunner.

Can anyone help me figure out what's going on here? I'm pulling out my  
hair trying to get this installation to work.

[Mailman-Users] filtering Importance headers

[Erez Zadok]

Is there a way that Mailman can remove certain headers before a message is
posted to a list?  In particular, I want to remove the "Importance" header,
which some posters will set to "high" or "urgent" unnecessarily.  Some MUAs
do all kinds of things users dislike for high-priority mails.

Note: I don't want to reject such posts automatically, b/c their content may
still be valuable, just not as urgent as the sender thinks.

Thanks,
Erez.

[Mailman-Users] Machine is too slow

[Andre Ricardo]

hi,

I have a Mailman 2.1.1 running on a SPARC 4 and Solaris 7. Python
2.2.2 and sendmail 8.12.8 installed. Mailman call several python
instances, the disk usage goes up leading the machine to stall and even
crash sometimes. Any ideias?

Cheers
Andre

Start the lines with whitespace.  Mailman won't wrap such lines.

[Mailman-Users] templates/en/newlist.txt

[Will Froning]

I've noticed that Mailman is kind enough to apply some formatting
changes to my newlist.txt template when it sends the file out.

For instance I have this in the newlist.txt file:
-
The format for uploading addresses is one entry per line with an
optional member name entry. IE:

"Mail Person" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Privacy options]
This section of the admin page is for specifying the subscribe_policy
and private_roster options (amoung others). 
-

But Mailman sends out this:
-
The format for uploading addresses is one entry per line with an
optional member name entry. IE:

"Mail Person" [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Privacy options] This section of the admin page is for specifying the
subscribe_policy and private_roster options (amoung others).
-

Is there a way to keep Mailman from joining these lines?

I'm on digest only, so I may be slow to respond.

Thanks,
Will

[Mailman-Users] Cannot Subscribe to Several Mailman Lists

[Charles Curley]

I have hit an odd problem, and Mailman appears to be in the center of
it. I have tried to subscribe to several lists, all using mailman
2.0.x, and have never gotten the confirming email.

One is the Red Hat 8.0 (Psyche) list,
https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list. Another is
the Autoupdate list, and the third the Wyoming Libertarian Party at
http://www.zayda.net/mailman/listinfo/wyolp.

In the case of the Autoupdate list, I tried both with this email
address, and as [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the case of the Wyoming LP,
I tried only with [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is there any known bug in 2.0.x that might lead to such a result?

I was able to subscribe to this list, which is running version 2.1.1.

Can you suggest things an administrator might look at to see if the
confirming emails ever went out? The mail log would be an obvious one;
anything else?

Both ISPs use Communigate Pro for mail handling. Are there any known
issues with Communigate Pro?

I did not see anything that appeared relevant in either Christopher
Kola's admin manual, the bug list on SourceForge, or in this list's
archives.

Thank you.

[Mailman-Users] Problem with attachments

[sem]

Hi, i'm using mailman2.1 on a box with SOlaris 2.6
When the users send a word attachment you can see it right in the email, 
but mailman archive them in the spool with a .dot suffix, so you can't see 
it right on the web.
Here is an example:
attachments/20030320/8cc56c88/00Acta01-2003.dot

It happens with every word attachment
Any hint?

Re: [Mailman-Users] mailman 2.1.5 and Exim 3.6

[Jon Carnes]

If you can't get that Exim integration working, you can still simply treat
the Mailman aliases as normal aliases, but you will have to update your
/etc/aliases file for each list.  At the very least you will need the
-request alias added.

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
