  According to their FAQ, they keep mail indefinitely.  They say they only
keep the most recent 3000 msgs in data or thread indexes; is that what you
mean?  Or are they not working as advertised?

  The archives at http://mail.gnhlug.org have, to the best of my knowledge,
always been there.  They were switched from "public" to "private" some time
back with no discussion.  The reason was to bypass the email address
publication problem.  A better solution was desired, but the resources
(people, time, trust, server resources, installed software, etc.) did not
exist.  Likely still do not.

  Prior to that, when the list was at (all rise) ZK3 (be seated), I have no
idea.  I believe various personal archives have been fed into web archives
at various times, but I don't remember who fed what to where or when.

I'm pretty sure I've historically been the most vocal complainer, and
I've followed the arguments pretty closely.  I can say that

 - I have no problem whatever with archives existing
 - I have no problem with /my/ posts being archived [but see below]
 - I do not feel that any such archive need be protected by passwords

My one single objection has always been to the fact that my e-mail
address appears in a public forum which is very easy to harvest, and
that this unquestionably leads to an inflation of received spam (i.e.
at the mail server, before any filtering).  This includes cases of my
e-mail address being included in attributions and quotes in other
people's posts, which I have no control over.  The above 3 statements
are true, PROVIDED all references to my e-mail address are removed
before inclusion in any such archive.

As things stand, purely from the standpoint of self-interest, I no
longer care about this issue.  The reason for that is the address with
which I post is not a valid e-mail address.  Mailman allows for
certain tricks which facilitate this.  From the perspective of my view
of how things should be in the universe, I do still think that the
archive should not be established unless references to e-mail
addresses are removed.  However for obvious reasons, I no longer feel
the need to argue the point quite so vocally.

Actually, I'd like to see this behavior on the physical messages which
are sent out by the mailing list software to the subscribers also; but
I'm not even going to go there...

> The other 10% will beat the topic to death with (a few) real and (many

Based on my recollection of the discussions, I believe removing
addresses will remove much closer to 100% of the complaints.

A long time ago (maybe 5.5 years?), when I way looking for a card with
S/PDIF output (which at the time was fairly rare, and before Creative
was (temporarily) co-operative), I ran across Trident Microsystems and
their 4DWave-series chipsets, included on boards like the one I bought,
a Hoontech SoundTrack 4DWave-NX.  This was a decision I made after
joining the ALSA mailing lists for a short time.

IIRC, they had a Linux tarball linked somewhere off of their web page.
I believe that Trident wrote their own ALSA drivers and released them
under the GPL.  Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find any audio products
on www.tridentmicro.com, and www.hoontech.com doesn't seem to be
responsive at the moment.

I wrote a program that did most of this and posted this to the list a

Hahahaha.  :-(

I wish I had a nickel for everytime the email privacy/mail archive/etc
issue was rehashed & beaten to death.  You could look in the archives
for the history.

Seriously, if you can remove all email addresses from the archive, I'd
bet you'd solve 90% of the problems people have with creating an
archive.

The other 10% will beat the topic to death with (a few) real and (many

A way around this might be a poll that put the archive idea to a vote,

This appears to be the main stumbling block.  Mailman has an e-mail

Removing X-No-Archive messages should be a 10-line formail/procmail 
script, but if anyone has one done please send it along.

The trouble with the password-protected archives is that they don't add 
to the general knowledge-base of the 'net.  There's alot of great 
content from lots of smart folks here and it's a shame not to share it.

I'm curious - is there anyone here who expects total privacy with the 
address they use to post here?  If I were a spammer I'd subscribe to 
every list I could find via mailman,et.al. interfaces; we don't 
validate lurkers here, right?  I'm not arguing for showing the 
addresses in the archive at all - just asking if there's a witness 
protection program expectation here, that is if having your 'real name' 
but not your e-mail address exposed to the Internet would cause a 
problem.  I'm ignoring the mail-archive.com archive for the sake of the 
academic question.

These appear to be password protected, preventing non-subscribers from

I do like these archives; however I didn't know about them until
around 30 seconds ago.  The archives were removed with some fanfare

Somebody probably has these.  I don't have a complete archive, but
I've got *some*.

Some folks on this list are *very* concerned with their email
addresses appearing on a web-accessible archive (they don't want to
give anything to the spammers).  I share this concern, although I
think that there are folks on this list who are more adamant about
this than I am.  I am more interested in making the collective wisdom
of this list available for others to gain from.  Still, any mail
archive should have an email-address obfuscating feature, in order to
satisfy this (reasonable) request.

IIRC, there are also a few people on this list who may have posted
messages with the X-No-Archive flag set.  Any mail-archive should
respect these people's wishes.

I have one suggestion to look for.  The order of Directors matters.  From the 
sound of that error, it looks as though the email is going through the 
address_pipe transport (for which no uid/gid is specified) rather than the 
mailman_transport.  That probably means that a director above the 
mailman_director is taking control of the email.  Perhaps the system_aliases 
director, since you put all those mailman addresses in the system aliases 
file.  

What you want is for the mailman_director to be listed before the 
system_aliases director, so that it will take charge of handling mailman 
messages (and pass them through the mailman_transport) rather than the 
system_aliases director.  If the system_aliases director sees that message 
first, it will just use the address_pipe transport, because:
>mailman:              "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman"
is just an address pipe as far as it is concerned.

Yea, ran into this two weeks ago when setting it up on my box.
Don't use /etc/aliases, and be sure to read the README.Debian and
README.EXIM documentation that comes with Mailman.

I'm using sarge, so there might be a few changes (I'm using Exim 4), but
the docs are good for exim3 and 4.

Mailman setup

2005-01-24 Thread Cole Tuininga

Hi all - I'm setting up Mailman for the first time and have run into one
problem that even the great god "Google" can't seem to help me with.  I
thought perhaps y'all could.  8)

Here's what I have: A debian (woody) box running exim 3.35.  I hand
compiled python2.3 for it, and downloaded the latest stable Mailman
(2.1.5 I believe).

I followed the procedure for setting everything up, and so far as I can
tell, everything works.

However, there's one problem.

Whenever the exim -q runs from cron, I get something like the following:

2005-01-24 08:53:01 1Cs7ew-0005Tf-00 Neither the system_aliases director
nor the address_pipe transport set a uid for local delivery of
|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman


I've got the following bits in my exim.conf (as directed by the setup)

(Main config section)
MAILMAN_HOME=/usr/local/mailman
MAILMAN_WRAP=MAILMAN_HOME/mail/mailman
MAILMAN_USER=mailman
MAILMAN_GROUP=mailman

(Transport section)
mailman_transport:
driver = pipe
command = MAILMAN_WRAP \
'${if def:local_part_suffix \
{${sg{$local_part_suffix}{-(\\w+)(\\+.*)?}{\$1}}} \
{post}}' \
$local_part
current_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
home_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
user = MAILMAN_USER
group = MAILMAN_GROUP


(Directors section)
mailman_director:
driver = smartuser
require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/$local_part/config.pck
suffix_optional
suffix = -bounces : -bounces+* : \
-confirm+* : -join : -leave : \
-owner : -request : -admin
transport = mailman_transport

And finally, in my /etc/aliases (and yes, I did run "newaliases") I
have:

## mailman mailing list
mailman:  "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman"
mailman-admin:"|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman admin mailman"
mailman-bounces:  "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces mailman"
mailman-confirm:  "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman confirm mailman"
mailman-join: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman join mailman"
mailman-leave:"|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman leave mailman"
mailman-owner:"|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman owner mailman"
mailman-request:  "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman request mailman"
mailman-subscribe:"|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe
mailman"
mailman-unsubscribe:  "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe
mailman"

Anybody have thoughts/hints/suggestions?  Many thanks in advance...

Does anyone have a spare DSL modem they'd be willing to lend me for a few

I had two offers of loaners.  One had been used with GSInet, so I've borrowed 
that one and it appears to work.

Thanks,
