I have today posted revised versions of the following patches on sourceforge. These revisions address the significant changes in the Mailman source code from 2.0.X to 2.1a3. The patches should apply without complaint to the code published in mailman-2.1a4.tgz on sourceforge.

[Mailman-Users] domain isn't in my list of rcpthosts
Linux 7.2. mailman+qmail+vpopmail. An update from previous post. I took localhost.localdomain out of /etc/hosts. The ehlo changed from localhost.localdomain to host4.scbbs.com (64.233.20.66). In /etc/tcp.smtp: 1.2.3.6:allow,RELAYCLIENT= 64.233.20.66:allow,RELAYCLIENT= 127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT= It appears that qmail won't relay mail sent by mailman, even though mailman is running on the localhost.

To stop sending mail to a bouncing address Mailman simply actives the nomail
option for the offending address; however, at that point Mailman *does not*
erase or zero out the bounces from the database. The bounce record is still
in the database in the bounce_info{ } section. So it is likely that one
more bounce and the user will again be moved over to nomail.
Removing the user from the list however *does* remove the info from the
bounce_info section (I just checked, using Mailman version 2.06).
You should check your database. Indeed you might need to recreate it.
For now, look at the database using:
~mailman/bin/dumpdb ~mailman/lists/listname/config.db |more
and look for the user. You will find them under bounce_ info. Now remove
the user (go to the web-admin / Membership management / and remove the first

Now dumpout the database and look again. Is the user still in the

Thanks for the idea, I tried that and after removing them from the list
and
looking at the db dump, the addres is still in the bounce info section,
but
not in the members section... I know you can't edit the db's dirctly, so
how
would I go about taking this address out of the bounce info?

To stop sending mail to a bouncing address Mailman simply actives the
nomail
option for the offending address; however, at that point Mailman *does
not*
erase or zero out the bounces from the database. The bounce record is
still
in the database in the bounce_info{ } section. So it is likely that one
more bounce and the user will again be moved over to nomail.
Removing the user from the list however *does* remove the info from the
bounce_info section (I just checked, using Mailman version 2.06).
You should check your database. Indeed you might need to recreate it.
For now, look at the database using:
~mailman/bin/dumpdb ~mailman/lists/listname/config.db |more
and look for the user. You will find them under bounce_ info. Now
remove
the user (go to the web-admin / Membership management / and remove the
first
check mark next to their name / click on the Submit Your Changes button
at
the bottom of the page).
Now dumpout the database and look again. Is the user still in the
members{ } section? Are they still in the bounce_info{ } section?
Hope this helps - Jon Carnes

Alright, I've got a problem here with an email address bouncing that
shouldn't be.
Here are the results of the bounce log:
Dec 13 10:35:49 2001 (7197) List-Name: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -
exceeded
limits
Dec 13 10:35:49 2001 (7197) List-Name: already disabled
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Alright now, I've looked in the membership managament section of the UI,
and the 'nomail' option is NOT checked for this address.
I've tried unsubscribing this address and re-adding it to the lists, all
to
no avail, it comes back up with the exceeded limits error. Where can I
re-enable this account, my next step will be to completey delete and
re-create the list, but short of this what can I do?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Gateway a news group doesn't get first dozen messages
I probably didn't understand the question (or the problem...), but it sounds like you had a simple problem that some of the posts were ignored, but now everything is working fine. This delay could have been a simple matter of when cron startedup the proper scripts. The current version of Mailman does not use a daemon to run its processes - instead cron is used to startup several sub-processes that use lock files to monitor each other (so they don't step on each other). The news gating processes may not start for several minutes.

Whoa... me thinks you're on to something, I'm running v2.08 which I upgraded
a few days ago. when i run chec_db on that particular db I get :

opened:
Not a directory
/home/mailman/lists/../lists/affiliates/config.db/config.db.last cannot be

Doesn't the fact that it issues a message with config.db listed
twice make you a little curious? Ypu gave the wrong args to
check_db.
check_db's usage message (also in the top of the script):
Usage: %(PROGRAM)s [options] [listname [listname ...]]
Try
cd ~mailman
bin/check_db affiliates
* ALERT *
Both the original database file and the backup seem
corrupted. You will probably need to recover both
/home/mailman/lists/../lists/affiliates/config.db/config.db
and
/home/mailman/lists/../lists/affiliates/config.db/config.db.last
from a system backup, or remove the list `../lists/affiliates/config.db' and
re-create it from scratch.
So It looks like I'l be recreating the list after all.
One other thing I'm wondering is that this address is getting these errors
fro multiple lists that it's on. Could they all eb corrupt? If so what could
cause multiple lists to be corrupt?

Looks like a possible bug in 2.0.8. When I get a chance, I'll test out a
2.0.8 site that I run and see if it does the same.
If it does, I'll compare the code and see if I can isolate it...
There was a message about two weeks ago that outlined the use
~mailman/bin/withlist. You should be able to use this to remove the errant
entry manually from the database. Frankly I think it's easier to startup
Python, and do it that way (make a copy of the database first...).

Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Bouncing address problems
To stop sending mail to a bouncing address Mailman simply actives the
nomail
option for the offending address; however, at that point Mailman *does
not*
erase or zero out the bounces from the database. The bounce record is
still
in the database in the bounce_info{ } section. So it is likely that
one
more bounce and the user will again be moved over to nomail.
Removing the user from the list however *does* remove the info from
the
bounce_info section (I just checked, using Mailman version 2.06).
You should check your database. Indeed you might need to recreate it.
For now, look at the database using:
~mailman/bin/dumpdb ~mailman/lists/listname/config.db |more
and look for the user. You will find them under bounce_ info. Now
remove
the user (go to the web-admin / Membership management / and remove the
first
check mark
[Mailman-Users] how to suppress List- info?
I'm a new list manager and haven't been able to figure out how to suppress the following List- lines in each message from the Administrator's manual.

[Mailman-Users] SUMMARY: mailman v2.0.5 fails
A: several problems found and repaired: 1. DNS turned off 2. mm_cfg.py's SMTPHOST pointed to an alias only valid on the DNS server! 3. /etc/hosts' 127.0.0.1 not pointing to localhost 4. /etc/hosts' incorrectly paired hosts' hostname with its' IP address, nor was a valid alias paired correctly. amazing it ever worked in the first place. special thanks to DAN M. for private consultation. --- pelicancomputers [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: help. i'm running mailman on redhat with apache... i can send mail to and from the server to and from the internet... if i send mail to a list member, it never gets there. perms check out fine, db's check out fine... what else can be wrong? thanks for your help. rf __ Do You Yahoo!?

If I let somebody set up a mailing list on my site, using the copy of mailman that I installed, it is extremely unlikely that I'm going to let him mess with the source code on my machine. That's exactly it, Paul. Thank you for explaining it so clearly. Sure, Python is easy to use and Mailman is well written, but we run our list on a huge hosting server and we don't have admin privileges. Unfortunately, I'm afraid this also means we cannot use Alex's suggestion. From the point of view of making Mailman more popular or not, it's obvious that the first thing users are going to see, is how messy are both digests and individual messages. This is giving Mailman a bad name. Thank you anyway, and let's hope that future versions of Mailman make it easier to use the software on sites that run multiple lists, where each list needs different configuration options. marina -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users

[Mailman-Users] Questions about MailMan
Hi, I'm very impressed with your software and I would like to implement it on our Site, however, one of the features that our users are looking for is the ability to post an reply to messages from the Web interface. (YahooGroups has this functionality). My questions are: 1) Will future versions of MailMan support this feature? 2) Is there any way to incorporate an existing discussion board software with MailMan to allow posting via the Web and also receive email notification?

Re: [Mailman-Users] HTML in digests?
marina We are running a list using Mailman 2, where most of the members marina are totally computer illiterate, and cannot be bothered marina understanding why or how to change their email settings. marina As a result, this list digests include huge portions of HTML marina coding - which is perceived as extremely annoying by several marina users (including some who choose to use HTML mail, of course). Can you just change your users' digest settings from plain to MIME digests for them? Can you make MIME digests the default option for people who choose to read the digest version of your list? -- Skip Montanaro ([EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.mojam.com/) -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
