Re: [Mailman-Users] unsubscribe from a list w/out password

[Steve Lee]

Please help.  if i can't get this to work i would have to
goto majordomo.  I really don't have the time to set that up
right now.  I just need to be able to set the list so
people can unsubscribe from the list without having to
do this through the web interface but by email
with just unsubscribe from the subject line.

Please anyone. What option do i need to set.

[Mailman-Users] Admin web interface

[Rodrigo Borges Pereira]

Hi!

I'd like to know if Mailman has in it's web interface the ability for the
site administrator to create/remove lists.

As far i as i know, it can only be done using the command line. If there's a
good reason as for that not beeing implemented on the web interface, let me
know about it.

try 

test-request:"|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test"

It might be that the Sendmail 'newaliases' is rather picky. IIRC
the '/path/to/mailman/bin/newlist ' gives the aliases with
the double-quotes included...

You can easily grep the logs for a specific list.  Some examples:

[phred:p5] ~mailman/logs % grep "^May 10.*post to touring" post | wc -l
  89
[phred:p5] ~mailman/logs % grep "^May 10.*post to internet-bob" post | wc -l
  35
[phred:p5] ~mailman/logs % grep "^May 10.*post to framebuilders" post | wc -l

[Mailman-Users] List Stats

Has anyone come up with a way to count the amount of
incoming/outgoing msgs on a per-list basis?  I have several lists hosted
under a domain, and I'd like to be able to tell each administrator how
many messages they've received and sent out.  Looking at the logs, it
applies to the whole domain, not each list.  The same applies if I were
to look at the MTA's 'mailstats' command.

It isn't.  The Debian package is set up to use
http://foo/cgi-bin/mailman as the base URL.  If you change that,
you'll need to change the information in mm_cfg.py as well.

It works ok with the config out-of-the-box.

Dear Paul and all Mailman users


I would like to express my sincere apologies for spamming all of you, I had 
no idea that my e-mail would be sent to thousands of users. Please accept my 
apology for the initial mail and for this second one.

Understand that over 4000 e-mail users were spammed with over 160 e-mails 
EACH on Monday and no-one has any idea how it happened and I thought the 
Mailman was responsible as it was used to send the mails.

Anyway, good luck with whatever the Mailman project is and my sincerest 
apologies once again.

Regards

ez,

You have just spammed several thousand people on a mailing list
devoted to the installation, debugging and use of the Mailman list
server. (See http://www.list.org   ).  You should
research your headers and go through your SMTP Relay's logs to determine
exactly where the spam was sent from and take action in that direction.

In light of the number of people unjustly accused, we may be the ones
to expect an appology.

Dear Mailman

As I am sure you are aware, yesterday thousands of users were spammed
from
the following e-dress:<

http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/desi-os-maps> which seems to
be linked with Mailman.

As of yet, no-one has received either an explanation or an apology and I
believe one should be forthcoming. Please could you explain to me the
following:

* How did this incidence occur?

* Where did you get all the e-dresses from? No one subscribed to the
list or gave permission for their emails to be passed on to your
company.

* Is there anything we can do to stop such an incidence occuring
again?

* Will you be issuing an apology and a guarantee that this shall not
occur again?

Please remove my e-dress from any lists you may have and please supply
where
you got my edress from. Thank you for your time.

[Mailman-Users] mirroring www.list.org in australia

Hi,

I'm interested in providing a mirror of www.list.org (and specifically the
mailman distribution) here at our opensource archive in Australia.

I'm the same person who's mirroring python locally, so i suspect i might
be talking to (some of) the same people who look after the python site ? :-)

Can you please let me know if this is possible..

It's a disturbance in the DNS. It's possible your DNS server was temporarily
flakey, but when I see that, it's more normally a networking issue of some
sort. And it's not necessarily the network between them (trying to look you
up) and your DNS (trying to answer) -- I've seen it when a router between a
chunk of net and the root DNS servers goes flakey or overloads, so they
can't resolve you out of the root.

[Mailman-Users] "sender domain must resolve" errors

[Bob [EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello,

I've noticed that I'm seeing a lot of "Sender domain must resolve" messages
in my Postfix logs, most of which are from messages sent thru Mailman.  I know
this isn't specifically a mailman issue, as the errors are coming from the
other SMTP servers, but perhaps someone here can help shed light on this.

Here's some of the errors from my log:

 5   host smtp1.cei.net[204.117.117.29] said: 451 4.1.8 
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Sender domain must resolve
 5   host edify-ministries.org[209.190.211.167] said: 451 
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Sender domain must resolve
 5   host mail.hiwaay.net[208.147.154.56] said: 451 4.1.8 
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Domain of sender address [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
does not resolve

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Domain of sender address 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] does not resolve
  
Note that apostles-today.net resolves nicely to an IP address.  This is a
virtual host on a shared IP, so a reverse IP lookup obviously isn't 
going to show the 50 or so addresses on that IP.  Is there something else I'm missing?

[Mailman-Users] moving list configs

[Adam Hirsch]

Hey, folks -- I'd have thought this might be an FAQ by now, but I didn't
see it mentioned anywhere likely.

Has anyone written up what it takes to move an entire mailman setup from
one machine to another, wholesale?  Is it just a matter of moving over the
relevant directories under ~mailman/  (logs, lists, and data, I'd presume),
or is there a better way of doing it?

I had that question myself...  My solution - 
make the list require approval for all postings and then add those allowed to 
post to the list not needing approval.
 
Then I manually removed all references I could to 
posting to the list via editing the info. web page.

Hmmm, for some reason I thought it wasn't in 2.0.1/2.0.3 -- I only 
noticed this problem in 2.0.4. Maybe some new bug creeped in that just 
confused the issue.
