Is there a way to have MM generate both daily *and* weekly digest of the same mailing list?


Thanks,

No.  Asking again won't help either [See *note] 

Nearest compromise is starting a second list which is digest only and is
subscribed to the first list (or the original alias into the list
duplicates the message to both lists).

Frankly I fail to see while this is useful.  If you have a low traffic
list where some days don't have any messages then your daily digests
just won't happen on some days.  If you have a higher traffic list then
your weekly digests will be flushed several times a week by the size
constraint - taking the size constraint off will result in digests that
are too big to be read comfortably.

[*Note]
It seems to be getting more common that people posting queries to the
list believe they are owed timely answers and keep repeating the
question until someone answers.  Its worked in this case - which means I
am sending the wrong signal out here.  So starting from now, when I see
a repeated question like this I will either ignore it or privately flame
the originator depending on how bad a day its been.  Pretty much the
same applies to those who mail me privately apparently believing I owe
them answers to their problems, and my employers pay me to answer their
questions.

Thats because there is no index.html or any other page/script
in the cgi-bin dir that Apache can use as the index.  You want
to use the URL http://domainname.com/mailman/listinfo

the URL you are trying to use is incomplete as it doesn't include the name

Try using these URLs:

2002-02-05 Thread Jon Carnes

First of all Nigel has a great solution:  include a second list as a member
of the first list and let the second list's archives be weekly.

Second, not every Mailman guru reads the list on a daily basis - and they
certainly don't cruise the archives looking for problems that haven't been
solved - s... I think it is perfectly legitimate to wait a few days or a
week and resubmit a question.

Just my 2¢

[Mailman-Users] /etc/aliases and new lists?

2002-02-05 Thread Michael Styer

Hi there,

Just a quick question regarding the interaction of mailman and
/etc/aliases.

I'm building a system to automate the creation of new mailman lists based
on information in a database, and I'm doing this by calling the newlist
script. I was under the impression that creating a new list this way did
everything necessary to create the list, but I've just had someone suggest
to me that my script will need to edit /etc/aliases as well in order for
the list to function properly.

Is this true?

If so, can anyone explain what I would need to add to /etc/aliases for
each list in order to make them function correctly?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

mike

By default, newlist doensn't modify /etc/aliases.  If you run
newlist -o /etc/aliases, it will add the aliases for you (it
appends to the file).  You may then need to run your
appropriate MTA's newaliases command if it has one.

A plug for exim (my MTA of choice): you can configure exim such
that no entries in /etc/aliases are required at all.  See this
URL for details and configuration file snippets:

Three cheers for Mailman, and three more for exim!

[Mailman-Users] permissions error with config.db

2002-02-05 Thread Jonathan Bird

Here is error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Now is this permissions regarding the Python process? I *temporarily* 
changed the permissions of the config.db to 0777. The email waiting to 
be sent in the list was sent and seems to work but then the permissions 
of the config.db are rewritten to the proper permissions automagically.

Did I miss something here with the install?

Besides, if people want to use XML, it's needed.

As to your question about encodings in a Subject:, there is provision
for specifying encoding.  Not all versions of all e-mail clients
support them.  plug Nisus Email does. /plug

I am not sure what you want to tell me...

It is MailMan that does not handle the Subcejt correctly. If the is a 
umlaut (UniCode-Char) in the string it would add the String [TEST] 
repeatedly. This is a bug in the routin that checks if the [listname] 
already exists.

The trivial way is to subscribe a second list to the first, and have

Re: [Mailman-Users] html formated archives

2002-02-05 Thread Jon Carnes

MHonArc is easy to use an external Archiver (though it may not be easy to
setup...).  Once the Archive program is setup, you add the archiver as a
user on the list - from then on it collects posts and archives them.

Mailman comes complete with pipermail.  Pipermail is a nice/tiny archiver
that works great on text messages, but is utterly hopeless in the world of
Mime and html.  I believe v2.1 of Mailman will still come with Pipermail,
but folks still recommend that you install a stand-alone archive program
such as MHonArc if you do any serious archiving.

[Mailman-Users] (no subject)

2002-02-05 Thread Ryan LeBlanc

I just started using mailman, and am hoping somebody can help me with a
problem I am having.

I have virtual domains setup on my server, and I can get mailman working
with them, except for one thing.

I manually update the config.db using bin/config_list, and setup all the
paths for the virtual domain.  The problem comes in when I try to use a
different posting address.  for example, say I set up a list name:
test_domain1.com

Well, the posting address is [EMAIL PROTECTED], and it works just
fine.  However, I would like to use [EMAIL PROTECTED]  When I do that, I get
a bounce from Mailman saying the message was addressed implicitly.

So, either, there is an option in config.db I can't change with
bin/config_list, or the setting that checks the address is stored elsewhere.

I looked into bin/withlist, but I unfortunately do not know Python, so I
don't even know where to start with it.  I was able to do a little with it,
but I don't know all the objects I can use.  I was able to get
GetEmailRequest to display, only because it was mentioned in the examples.

Re: [Mailman-Users] implicitly addressed error - virtual domains

2002-02-05 Thread Jon Carnes

Web-admin, General Options page, near the bottom: Host name this list 
prefers.

That lets you change the host part of the automated email messages.  If 
that is not enough, then turn off the welcome messages and the reminders 
(options in the web-admin).  Then you can write scripts that handle both 
the welcome messages and the reminders.  

Look in ~mailman/bin/.. for commands that will let you dump out to a file 
the email addresses of a list.  You can also grep through the 
~mailman/logs/.. for new subscriptions and use that to send out your own 
welcome messages for specific lists (if you are so inclined)

   a problem I am having.
  
   I have virtual domains setup on my server, and I can get mailman
   working with them, except for one thing.
  
   I manually update the config.db using bin/config_list, and setup all
   the paths for the virtual domain.  The problem comes in when I try to
   use a different posting address.  for example, say I set up a list
   name: test_domain1.com
  
   Well, the posting address is [EMAIL PROTECTED], and it
   works just fine.  However, I would like to use [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
   When I do that, I get a bounce from Mailman saying the message was
   addressed implicitly.
  
   So, either, there is an option in config.db I can't change with
   bin/config_list, or the setting that checks the address is stored
   elsewhere.
  
   I looked into bin/withlist, but I unfortunately do not know Python,
   so I don't even know where to start with it.  I was able to do a
   little with it, but I don't know all the objects I can use.  I was
   able to get GetEmailRequest to display, only because it was mentioned
   in the examples.
  
   Thanks for any help

[Mailman-Users] Mail to list returned

2002-02-05 Thread Homeport

My mailman installation seems to be working fine but when I send mail to 
the list I get this response:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]; Action: Failed; Status: 5.1.1 (bad destination mailbox 
address)
Remote MTA usnaweb.org: SMTP diagnostic: 550 5.1.1 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]... User unknown

Do I have to establish an explicit user for each mailing list?
If so, how do I pipe mail to Mailman?

If not, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

   For some reason, konqueror sends back cookies with  marks around them.
 
  But this should mean that konqueror somehow works with mailman 2.05, right?
  (I have a konqueror user complaining that it's not working either)

 I havn't tried MM 2.05 but 2.06 was still working.
 Since 2.07 it doesn't work.
 Other people reporting the same:
 http://bugs.kde.org/db/36/36524.html
 http://bugs.kde.org/db/35/35153.html

Some other person reported the same problem to me today (against mailman on
lists.sf.net, which is based on mm 2.0.5), and I just reproduced it with
konqueror 2.2.1 on my laptop right now.

However, I  think I solved the  mystery. The SF.net mailman does  have the
cookie patch that used  to crash python 1.5.x in some  cases, and that patch
is probably  what breaks konqueror  now (and  I'm guessing that's  the patch
that went in mm 2.07)

Either way, as long as I know it's a konqueror problem, that's fine :-)

[Mailman-Users] email address datastore

2002-02-05 Thread Ryan LeBlanc

I am continuing my work on getting mailman working, and need to figure out
where some data is stored.  For example:

When I run the following on list Jack_domainname.com:


root@porsche /home/mailman/bin python -i withlist Jack_domainname.com
Loading list: jack_analoghost.com (unlocked)
 print m.GetListEmail()
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Finalizing

-

What file is it pulling that information from?  I can't seem to find it with
grep in the mailman home dir.  Once I do find it, I need to change it ;o)

Thanks for you help

Hint: it's not in a file per se; that information is part of the
MailList object, which is stored in the marshal 'config.db' in
the list data directory.

But surely you can change this with web commands.  Figure out
what you want to change, and there's certainly going to be
a web admin interface to change it (in 90% of cases).

2002-02-05 Thread Ryan LeBlanc

I may have just been staring at this monitor for too long today, but I think
that setting is one of the 10% :-\

When I use dumpdb, it doesn't show in there, neither does it show up in the
output of config_list -o

I know it is possible to change it, because it is currently being done on a
server I have that uses cPanel.  Of course, they aren't going to tell me how
they did it :-\
