[Mailman-Users] Problem with moving lists...
Hello all... I've had the following problem with moving an old list from a version of Mailman (2.x) to a recent (mailman-2.0beta5) ... When I go to the admin page for a list I have moved (I've only moved one!)... I get: (Bug in Mailman version 2.0beta5 We're sorry, we hit a bug!) Traceback: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/share/mailman/scripts/driver", line 96, in run_main main() File "/usr/share/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py", line 136, in main mlist.Save() File "/usr/share/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 851, in Save self.CheckHTMLArchiveDir() File "/usr/share/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 264, in CheckHTMLArchiveDir makelink(privdir, pubdir) File "/usr/share/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 42, in makelink os.symlink(old, new) OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied This is obviously just a problem with creating a file or symlink involving permissions, but not understanding mailman, or Python to any degree, I don't understand what is happening here. The actual piper-mail archives are fine, i.e. I can access /pipermail/listname/, and also get /listinfo/listname (listname is web-design in this case), but it only seems to be the admin interface that is broken after my attempt at moving the config of the 'old' mailman lists to the new box... Can anyone suggest where my problem lies? Thanks! -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
Re: [Mailman-Users] quetion
> hello, > i just wondering how much the price is,if i publish news letter . If you have a server on the internet anyway and you're capable of installing Mailman yourself, it costs you only a little time. If you have a server and want me to install qmail and Mailman for you, I can do that for you (the exact price depends on how many other things are currently using email that need to be changed for the migration from sendmail to qmail). Alternatively, I could host your mailing list for you (you'd get a dedicated Mailman installation on a virtual domain of your own) for USD30 set-up plus USD15/month for up to 1GB/month of data transfer. (It'll be hard to beat that limit with a newsletter.) This offer is valid only for lists that are not questionable in any way from an ethical perspective, in particular I have zero tolerance for spamming.

If so, then perhaps you're not executing them under the mailman user and mailman group. Perhaps you installed them in some other user's crontab, and that user isn't in the mailman group. Mailman's permissions are based on group ownership, so you want to be sure that the files are rw for group mailman and that any process that touches files lives in group mailman. And no, I don't think upgrading will fix your problem, although I still recommend it. Mailman 2.0.4 stops some annoying warnings when run under Python 2.1. The Mailman 2.0.5 fix is a little more important if you're running Python 2.0 since that will fix stale lock turds that can occur when a user hits the stop button on their browser. -Barry -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users

[Mailman-Users] list server
My name is Lindsey Taylor and I am with Cohen-Esrey Real Estate in Kansas City, Mo. We are looking at purchasing a listserv for several bulk mail lists that we currently have. We have five lists, one with 5,000 recipients. I was browsing your web page and am interested in the listserv there. I have a few questions, if you wouldn't mind answering...Does it support HTML? Does it confirm the number of people that have received the message? Do we get to schedule how often and when it goes out? What is the pricing info. and how often does it have to be renewed? Does it run on IIS 4.0? What are the hardware requirments? (Like does it need a separate server) and has it received any awards? (or who has it been tested by). Also, how many people can one list support? Thanks so much for your help! -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
[Mailman-Users] Load balancing over two machines
After spending a tedious afternoon looking through the mailman archives I've found this question asked twice but never replied to (at least on the list). At the moment I have a solitary machine running mailman. Bar the long wish-list all is fine. However in the new infrastructure about to be implemented I have two identical machines dedicated to list handling. At the moment the idea is to duplicate everything and keep in sync ewither by having the appropriate directories as NFS mounts from a 3rd machine or with rdist. One machine will be in service the other resting idle as what will essentially be a "hot" spare. In case the first fails reconfigure the IP address of the second, initiate mailman and whach it take over. All well and fine. But it rather offends me to have a perfectly good machine sitting idle doing nothing but awaiting the day. So is there an effective way of load balancing across two machines?

Mailman 2.0 is much saner here, because all the messages sit in the qfiles directory waiting to be processed by qrunner. In MM2.0 you'd simply find the offending .db/.msg files in qfiles and delete them. MM2.1 will be even easier because all messages destined for the MTA will be sitting in the qfiles/out directory, sequestered from other queues (such as the incoming queue, the archiver queue, etc.). IIRC Mailman 1.1 set some of the messages directly to the MTA without queuing them. But I really honestly don't remember (it was such a mess, I was better off evicting those memories from my cache :). -Barry -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users

You don't need to hack the body when doing VERP, so the typical VERP config would not be suitable for this. You *could* do it with exim, but its probably a case of additional pain for not much gain. I would personally do this using a small (I would guess 30-50 lines max) perl script (sorry Barry - old habits die hard and I have all the stuff to do this sitting in my perl toolbox). You have one input file with the list of addresses and any other replaceable variables, the other input file would have the message template. The script would read the control file a chunk at a time and apply it to the template and send the output to the MTA. The HTML::Template (will do other text based stuff), and the Mail tools packages will do all the work (or make the template include the SMTP commands to and just shove all the output to "sendmail -bS" (BSMTP handling).
