 ^ this is a problem, Mailman needs at least Python
version 1.5.2.

http://rpmfind.net   will you help you (RH 6.2 has python-1.5.2*
compiled packages, try to update), or if you do not want to
change you working configuration compile Python from the source.

Source can be donwloaded from www.python.org , the latest is 2.1
Is can be compiled easly. 

The newer testing version working only with Python 2.0 and newer.
 I have installed perl too
As someone already told you Mailman does not use perl, so if you
installed perl only for Mailman, you can remove that package.

Hy,

 Do a make clean, ./configure --with-mail-gid=2, --with-other-options

That shoud work, but the best way to know the correct mail-gid is:

[vizisz@tatooin vizisz]$ grep DefaultUser /etc/sendmail.cf
O DefaultUser=8:12

So in my case I have to use --with-mail-gid=12.

   - Transcript of session follows -
 
 Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 12, GOT gid 2. (Reconfigure to take 2?)

And do not forget to make a link in the smrsh directory, or read the
README.SENDMAIL

In a few words:
 $  su
 $  cd /etc/smrsh
 $  ln -s /home/mailman/mail/wrapper wrapper

easily subscribe
any email address through the web.  However, nobody is able to post to the

If those were in a real Subject: header, and you had a sophisticated
enough MUA, you'd see those characters in the proper charset.  I
wouldn't expect many MUAs recognize RFC 2047 encoding in the body of a
message.

At some point, Mailman should probably decode those characters and add
them decoded to the subject headers, although there may be trouble
with content-transfer-encodings and such.

 Have you checked if the mails are maybe on hold?
 You can check this through the webinterface...

Can you point me to this?

 Also checkout the local MTA logfiles to see if messages get sent.

Yes, the message (with post/subscribe-confirm) are being recieved and
piped to mailman and then nothing happens.

[Mailman-Users] Optimizing configuration

2001-06-27 Thread Sarah K. Miller

Is there anything special we can do to optimize our Mailman/Python installation? We're 
running Solaris with 256M of RAM, but Python is regularly hogging 75%+ of system 
resources. To say this is slowing things down is an understatement. Are there any 
configuration changes we can make that will cause Python to use less memory and run 
more efficiently?

I've already solved this problem.  That was my fault, my missconfiguration.

Now the question is - the posts/subscribes are being processed only
every minute, not often.  So if the message comes at 01:01, it'll be
visible only at 02:00.  Are there any way to make the messages processing
immediate?

[Mailman-Users] mailman stopped working?

2001-06-27 Thread Kevin Hancock

Hi

I have just installed mailman and it was working Ok. I was posting to a list
and getting replies. I added some more lists and now mailman not work.

Sendmail logs indicate the message was sent.

Jun 28 13:11:00 mailman sendmail[5635]: NAA05634:
to=|/usr/local/apache/mailman/mail/mailman-wrapper post test,
delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, stat=Sent

But NOTHING else happens

Mailman logs nothing no mail gets sent, no message sent to the administrator
(me) ...nada?

This list worked this morning. All I have changed is the aliases file but
that appears to be working fine.

How do I make mailman tell me what is happening and where should I look.

So far I like this prog and am migrating from majordomo but this has me
baffled cause there is no indication at all what is happening.

Thanks

Kevin
