Re: [Mailman-Users] configuration problem

[vijay]

Hello joe,

webserver is unable to resolve your hostname or domainname, by 
default Mailman takes system configuration like hostname etc. Check you 
DEFAULT_URL in Mailman/Defaults.py. change it to your 
http://IPADDRESS/mailman.

[Mailman-Users] Almost got it working with qmail

[Zachary McGibbon]

Need some help getting qmail to work.. it's very odd what I've got here,
but maybe it's normal... my /var/qmail/control/virtualdomans has:

lists.northco.net:mailman

then in /usr/local/mailman/.qmail-default I have:

|preline /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/mailman/qmail-to-mailman.py

When I sent mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the mail gets deliered into
the /usr/local/mailman/qfiles dir however I have to run the cron script:

* * * * * /usr/local/bin/python -S /usr/local/mailman/cron/qrunner

to get the messages sent out.. is there something I'm doing wrong?  The
qmail-to-mailman script looks like it's supposed to send the mail directly
into qmail-inject but it's not doing that...

[Mailman-Users] umbrella_list configuration in 2.0.5

[William R. Dickson]

Hi all,

So, I believe I've figured out what's going on with my list, RE the
problem I reported Friday -- under 2.0.5, a new list I've created is
sending confirmation mail to would-be subscribers (for example,
[EMAIL PROTECTED]) to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It appears that this is normal
behavior for an umbrella list. However, there doesn't seem to be an option
on the configuration pages to turn umbrella_list off.  There's an option
to set the suffix for list owners on an umbrella_list, but that's all I
can find.  I'm not sure why it's defaulting to umbrella_list on for new
lists.  Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

-Bill

[Mailman-Users] Read only list?

[OmrPrt]

how do I make a list read only?

Re: [Mailman-Users] configuration problem

[Joe Copeland]

I am able to access the admin and listinfo page fine.  The error comes when
I try to delve deeper into modifying the list information itself.

For instance I (and you) can accesst the page
http://www.deangelus.com/mailman/admin. But when I click on the link to
access the "test2" list, the webserver times out.

I think that the ScriptAlias directive in apache is doing it's job fine.

ScriptAlias /mailman/ "/var/mailman/cgi-bin/"

It must be since I am able to access the page
http://www.deangelus.com/mailman/admin and
http://www.deangelus.com/mailman/listinfo.

The breakdown appears when I try to administer the individual list or try to
subscribe to the individual list.  That is the information contained in
/var/mailman/lists/test2

Is there any way I can get some more information that may help resolve this
problem?  The error logs show nothing helpful.

What is interesting is if I go to try to administer a nonexistent list such
as http://www.deangelus.com/mailman/admin/no_such_list, I get a proper reply
from Mailman saying that the list does not exist and an error in the
../mailman/logs/error file.  But when I try to administer an existing list,
Mailman hangs on me.

Thanks for you help,

Joe

Re: [Mailman-Users] big lists, big messages

[Eric Schmitz]

Zowie! I seem to have started a major thread here! Thenks everyone for
all the advice. I can't pretend to understand everything, since I'm not
exactly an e-mail god, but I appreciate the suggestions and will try
some.

   I too had considered going to an "abstract format" for the
newsletter, but it looks like that might 1) not solve my problem, and 2)
have troubles of its own. Would definitely mean more work for me, the
webmaster. (My wife actually writes the newsletter.)

   I'll look into the use of other MTAs. I have a question in to my tech
support people about that. I run a virtual server, and I'm not sure what
is available in the way of alternative MTAs. I may be stuck with
sendmail. We'll see.

   All that being said, I do think Mailman is going to be the way to go,
just for its robust feature set and ease of use and configuration. I've
already figured out how to place rotating ads in the headers and
footers, and I appreciate the way it dynamically generates interface
pages for users and list admins to configure their subscriptions and
lists. Very cool!

   Again, thanks everyone for *all* the help! This is a really great
list!

*SIGH* No one ever learns how   * * *   R U D E   * * *   it is to send
stuff like this to several thousand people. Aurgh. And just ignore the

Re: [Mailman-Users] configuration problem

[Joe Copeland]

Ok, now I'm getting somewhere with this mailman installation.

I intstalled the mailman RPM on my laptop which has RH7.0 installed.  I can
now peruse the ../admin/testlist page.  I couldn't do that with the RH7.1.
So there's something about RH7.1 that prohibits mailman from working
properly.  One of the differences between RH7.1 and RH7.0 are some security
tweaks.

Figuring this one out is going to be a challenge for me since I'm no expert.
If anyone gets mailman working on RH7.1 please let me, and the list know how
you did it.

Thanks,

Joe

[Mailman-Users] Mailman 2.0.5 is broken on RH70

[Joe Morris]

Anyone reading the mail here, folks?  I and several other people have
reported problems with upgrading to Mailman 2.0.5 and have things go dead.
Common problem is no response to email messages sent to -request
aliases.

I have not changed my MTA, sendmail reports delivery of message to the
program, there are no errors, nothing to point a finger at.  It simply
disappears into a black hole inside of Mailman.

Would someone please take a closer look at this?  If this is a bad
dsitribution, then please tell us and yank from the site so we're not
stuck scratching our heads wondering what we've done wrong.

[Mailman-Users] Nested MAIL command?

[Ashley M. Kirchner]

Mailman suddenly started causing these errors, after nothing was
changed for months:

SYSERR(root): Nested MAIL command: MAIL
From:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

And every time that error pops up, over half of the queue gets
mysteriously lost.  It's just gone.  Help!

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman 2.0.5 is broken on RH70

[Brian Bilbrey]

M. Installed Mailman 2.05 last week, running with Postfix in
both main and virtual domain lists, no problems with the install, a
few hinks making Postfix work with the virtual domain lists -
otherwise a flawless install and operation to date.

I can't speak to installation with sendmail on this box, I suppose I
could bring it up on my laptop which is currently at RH 7.1 with
Sendmail installed - does everything fall down when you try doing
all the test bits during install? Details?
