[Mailman-Users] Mass Subscriptions and setting passwords?
I've been trying to setup a password minimized list in version 2.0.13 as per the instructions in FAQ 3.11, How do I create a newsletter/announcement/one-way list?. Unfortunately, the FAQ doesn't seem to work (at least for 2.0.13) in that messages sent to yourlist[EMAIL PROTECTED] (properly modified for my list and domain) do not create a confirmation message for unsubscribing. To get around this, I've been attempting to create a list that uses a fixed password for everyone. When that is the case I can simply send a message with the password included in the body of the message (unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] md2020). So the real question that I want to mass subscribe my current users without sending out confirmation letters and setting their passwords. Anyone know how or if I can do this? -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
[Mailman-Users] Mailman-2.1.1 + Virtual Hosting HOWTO - ARCHIVES.
Hello ALL,
Since this question comes up every now and then, here is my contribution.
Kindly add what you believe is needed, for the archives.
Someone more experienced can comment/edit/update this HOWTO. I just went through
the steps today and while it works for me, I am not guaranteeing it will work
for everyone.
I am running Mailman-2.1.1 on FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE (not important). I have Exim-4.20
and Apache-1.3.27.
Here is how I did it:
The installation of Apache to handle virtual hosts and the installation of Exim-4.x
to handle the same is beyond the scope of this mini-HOWTO.
#This is how to add virtual hosting to mailman.
# 20030620
STEP 1. Edit the dns zone file for the domain name to have a suitable host for
the virtual domain. The MX for this host should be mail.wananchi.com and
longonot.wananchi.com, e.g.
lists IN A 1.2.3.4
IN MX 10 mx1.domain.tld.
IN MX 20 mx2.domain.tld.
Increment the serial and then reload the zone. 1.2.3.4 here hosts Apache as
well as the MTA. I did this because I have some virtual domains who host their
own MX servers I therefore could override the mail handling for the list.
STEP 2:
Edit your MTAs relay maps add the FQDN you added above, e.g.
lists.domain.name.
STEP 3:
Edit your Apache config to add a virtual host for the FQDN from (2) above. In my
case I use an INCLUDE directive to incorporate a config file for VHosts alone.
My sample VHost config is:
VirtualHost *:80
ServerName lists.domain.tld
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot /usr/local/mailman/lists/list-name
ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/
Alias /pipermail/ /usr/local/mailman/archives/public/
/VirtualHost
With that I could access http://lists.domain.tld/mailman/admin/
I could not access http://lists.domain.tld/ - access was denied. Someone should
comment on the correct way for this as I am sure I missed a point.
STEP 4. COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING STEPS.
(a) Open /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.pf for editing and append
the FQDN from (2) above to the following entry. Please follow the
format STRICTLY.
VIRTUAL_HOSTS= {'lists.domain.tld':'lists.domain.tld',
'lists.domani2.org':'lists.domain2.org',
'lists.domain3.net':'lists.domain3.net',
'FQDN':'FQDN'}
(b) Add an extra entry for the FQDN to the entries below
add_virtualhost('lists.domain.tld','lists.domain.tld')
add_virtualhost('lists.domain2..org','lists.domain2.org')
add_virtualhost('lists.domain3.net','lists.domain3.net')
add_virtualhost('FQDN','FQDN')
NB: Here again I was not quite sure I needed both steps (a) and (b), but hey
I said it works for me. Please modify this if you know what is better.
STEP 5: Run the following commands.
(a) /usr/local/mailman/bin/newlist [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Answer the questions prompted carefully. Take note of the answers you give.
They will be needed later. You are warned.
(b) /usr/local/mailman/bin/withlist -l -r fix_url list-name -u FQDN -v
NB: Change the paths to reflect yours.
That is how I did it.
Comments on any suitable changes I need to make are welcome.
cheers

[Mailman-Users] Slow Performance on Mailman, Next Steps?
Dear all, We moved our mailman list over from yahoo to my server this week. No a painless move but it went OK. (This is some pretty good software!) My big issue is performance. Our list has 2300 subscribers and we do about 20 to 50 e-mails a day, nothing too big. Messages were taking 3 to 4 hours to be sent. I went through the FAQ on performance and have done the following to get down to 30 to 90 minutes: 1: Put in a DNS server on my machine with caching (pdnsd) 2: Used the following mailman settings: DELIVERY_MODULE = 'SMTPDirect' SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 3 SMTP_MAX_SESSIONS_PER_CONNECTION = 100 3: Turned off the logging Some other facts: a: I'm running RedHat 9 Linux b: We are getting lots of bounces: 258 have been put on hold because they went over their bounce score c: I'm using a 2+GHz AMD machine. Lots of horse power and it seems like I'm not using much. CPU is sitting at between 5% and 10% So, my obvious questions are: I: Any suggestions on my mm_cfg.py settings? II: Anything else you can recommend? III: My assumption is that since I'm using SMTPDirect it doesn't matter if I use the default stuff that comes with Redhat or should I load something better? IV: Is it the bounces that are my problem? Thank you in advance for any advice!

[Mailman-Users] Postfix difficulties
I installed a red hat rpm of the mailman software. However it didn't include the genaliases script. I am having difficulties posting to the list. It works fine if I use the post cmd in the script directory. What do I need to do to link postfix to mailman lists?

For Mandrake 9.1 I posted a message last month that pointed to all the rpm's that needed to be loaded. Mdk 9.0 probably has similar requirements. FWIW, I had the same problem [mdk 9.1, mailman 2.1.2]. I was not able to get mailmanctl to run using the RPMs listed in that e.mail. I have python installed via RPM, and that is/was my problem. I did not remove the python [2.2.2] RPM, since it would break other stuff, however, i simply compiled python from source, installing it into /usr/local/bin, and then made sure that when I compiled Mailman, I pointed it to the non-RPM install of python 2.2.2. I also changed my mm_cfg.py to make sure it uses the /usr/local/bin version of python. Also note, I was on Mandrake 8.2, with Mailman 2.1.1 [source compile]. When I upgraded to 9.1, I decided to also upgrade to 2.1.2 of mailman. After the initial problem, I removed all traces of mailman 2.1.2 and tried installing 2.1.1 on my 9.1 box, and it failed for the same reason. Compiling python from source was quite simple, as the only thing one needs to make sure of is that it will be built in a /usr/local/* directory structure so that it doesn't break any applications in Mandrake 9.1 that need the python RPM install.
