You might want to check your lockfiles in ~mailman/locks If there are files in there, then Mailman may think that some other process is using the database, and is locking you out. The name of the lock file will contain the name of the mailing list and end in the process number that has the lock.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Hanging admin pages
If your list is being archived, you might want to see if the archive has grown excessively large. I ran into this exact problem with one of my lists a few months ago, but no one has as yet been able to answer yes or no to the questions I posed back then...mostly regarding the impact of list performance when you've got archives that are so massive that the list delivery cycle cannot be completed (but the archives are consistently updated with the new messages). Then again, maybe my original question should have also been posed to the developers list as well, but I figured some some of those talented folks might also peruse this list. jo Michelle Murrain wrote: > > Hi Folks, > > I have a mailman installation that has been working fine for probably 6 > months now.

You need the admin password for your list. The folks who setup your mailman mailing list should have sent that password to you. This password is specifically to allow you to admin this specific list. The password is not the same as the one for your email account on this list (or at least it doesn't have to be..). Query the system admin for the password.

[Mailman-Users] Giving descriptive names to mail adresses
One of the mailman mailinglists I maintain is an annoucne type of mailinglist. Occasional short, informational messages to a large group of subscribers. I manage all subscriptions/unsubscriptions myself. There's a couple of 100 email adresses subscribed. Unfortunately the membership management gets a tad complcated. If I look at the membership pages all I get is a lot of email adresses [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] &c &c &c ... Which is a bit of a pain if I have to sort some users out if I only have their name. So I would like some way to add some sort of description to these email adresses. Standard email headers allow for a ".." part (e.g. "Gerhard den Hollander" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Is there some trick to do the same in mailman , so that the membership list will look like e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Joe Dalton" [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Averell Dalton: &c &c ?

These comments refer to the patches listed below and as a general comment your proposed approach will not fit that well with using the patches. If you intend to copy the html version of your mail archives in this way there are a number of issues to consider: 1. You may want to rewrite the html pages as you copy them because some of them (e.g. index.html, subject.html, thread.html and date.html) have installation specific information (extracted from $prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py e.g. DEFAULT_URL) baked into them. These URLs will presumably be invalid once the pages have been copied. 2. Sort out your approach to controlling access to these archives. For example, access to private Mailman archives is normally mediated by the $prefix/Mailman/Cgi/private.py script (i.e this script is called to return archived e-mail from private archives) which in turn refers to the Mailman 'database' of information for the list containing subscriber ids and passwords. These mechanisms will presumably not be available on the machine outside/on the firewall which will be serving the copied archive data. The patches strive to retain the standard Mailman privacy protection. The URLs returned by htdig searches will all make the browser go via the $prefix/Mailman/Cgi/htdig.py script which imposes the same access restrictions as private.py (which happens to be none in the case of public archives). Again, this script presumably won't be available on your machine outside/on the firewall. >If I install mailman with the htdig patch on my web >server (and not run sendmail) will this work or does the I can't see the relevance of the MTA to the issue. The patches below are designed to seamlessly integrate search with the standard Mailman means of accessing either private or public html mail archives produced by Mailman built-in archiver, pipermail. You could use htdig or any other search engine to provide search facilities for html archives you have transferred outside your firewall but then the situation is sufficiently different that the patches have limited relevance. >htdig information get processed as a message is archived? >If so, can the htdig database be pushed as well? The patches use htdig in a fairly conventional way and include a cron activated script which runs htdig daily to updates its indexes of the mail archives. One of the specialisations is that the patches automatically create an htdig config file per mail list. This leads to per list htdig indexes and per list searches: which is how list privacy is maintained. If you are going to move public list archives outside you may not want this fine grain control over search and access control. If you are going to proceed as you suggest and transfer archives from inside to outside server each night then you might just as well do your own set up of htdig/your-search-engine-of-choice and build the indexes on the external server each night after doing the data transfer. Hope the above helps. >Thanks, >Jimmy > > >>>I have a mailman list that keeps archives and >>>someone wants me to make those archives >>>searchable via a web browser. >>> >>>Is there a way mailman can do this? >>>Any other thoughts? >>> >>>Thanks, >>>Jimmy >>> >>> >>>-- >>>Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>>http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users >> >>The following patches integrate the htdig (http://www.htdig.org/) search >>engine with Mailman. >> >>http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=444879&group_id=103&atid=300103 >> >>http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=444884&group_id=103&atid=300103 >> >>The main features of the patch, from its sourceforge summary are: >> >>1. per list search facility with a search form on the >>list's TOC page. >> >>2. maintenance of privacy of private archives which >>requires the user to establish their credentials via >>the normal private archive access before any access >>via htdig is allowed. >> >>3. a common base URL for both public and private >>archive access via htsearch results so that htdig >>indices are unaffected by changing an archive from >>private to public and vice versa.

[Mailman-Users] Help
Hello. I have a Mailman list through Hostway.com. I receive an email when someone requests to send a mailing to the list and that email contains a link. The link refers me to a page that asks for a password. This password is different than the password I use to access the list in the Hostway Control Panel. How do I find out the other password?

[Mailman-Users] Lost admin password/aliases
Yes, I get to wear the pointy hat ATM. I upgraded the department's Solaris box from 2.6->2.8 and forgot to save the aliases mailman generated for the lists it runs. It's also been so long since I worked on Mailman that I've forgotten the admin password. So my questions are: 1) How can I recover/reset the administrative password? 2) How can I regenerate the aliases for the lists Mailman manages? Thanks in advance!

[Mailman-Users] Adding NNTP Gateway info to HTMLFormater.py
I added the following lines to HTMLFormatter.py:
'' : self.linked_newsgroup,
'' : self.nntp_host,
in the "GetStandardReplacements(self)" def return {}. This makes it possible to add
generic newsgroup/newshost info to, for example, the listinfo page.
Now, I have one generic 'general list info' page for non-gatewayed lists, and one for
gatewayed lists.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Lsoft Listserv archives
If your archives are html and searchable via the web already, then you should just be able to copy over the files into their own directory and leave it at that. You might want to add a link on your mailman archives page to indicate the URL for older archived email.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Subscription problem
Classic Relay problem with your MTA. What are you using for your MTA (Sendmail, Exim, Postfix, Qmail, )? If you are using Sendmail v8.11.xxx then you might want to look into your /etc/mail/access file and see if your local machine has the right to relay (send mail to an exterior mailserver).

Re: [Mailman-Users] Apparent message lossage
I found the reason for this. The MUA I'm using (evolution) added a bug where pretty much all readers were copied into a reply from the original message, including the list control headers (specifically X-Beenthere:). This caused Mailman to drop the message silently. I'd suggest that the error path causing a message to dropped in these circumstances is modified to at least log a message somewhere - anything that throws mail away *must* be logged otherwise confused mail admins tear their hair out :-) Nigel. -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
