Re: [Mailman-Users] email based subscriptions
This should get you started: - Mailman is written very modular. Each module does a specific part of the process of the listserver. - Look in ~mailman/Mailman for the module (or sub-program) that is sending the success message from the email subscribe - The source code is in a file with the extension .py, the compiled source is in a file named after the module with an extension of .pyc. - When run via Python, it checks the source to see if it has a recent compiled version - the .pyc file. If that file exists and it was created at the same time or later than the module was last changed, then it executes the compiled program. Otherwise it deletes the old compiled version and recompiles the source automagically. Very cool. - Python is extremely easy to read and figure out. Give it a run and you'll soon be programming in it with ease. You can also check out the users lists archives. My self and many others have written extensively about modifying the source code. You will even find lists of various modules and their functions. I'm not saying its all documented, but a lot of it is. If you need a knudge or two in the right direction, I'll help you out a bit, but I don't have any cycles open till Friday.

Where in the source would I find this functionality? I don't know python, and will be flying by the seat of my pants on this one. What are the binary files that seem to match each source file, do I need to compile somehow after editing the source? On Mon, 2002-02-11 at 20:00, Jon Carnes wrote: > There are many ways to do this.

There are many ways to do this. The best way is to edit the source code. That would stop all email success messages from being sent. Jon Carnes -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
Re: [Mailman-Users] getting mailman to work at all
Why would you install Mailman 1.1 when the latest version is 2.0.8, which is available from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mailman/mailman-2.0.8.tgz. You'll find getting support is much easier if you run the current stable release.

What could this be ? When you go to the Administrative requests page of the admin web gui why does it say it is holding the posting?? If you go to the Privacy options page of the web admin gui and look at the first option under the 'Spam specific posting filers' you will probably find that the setting for 'Must posts have list named in destination (to, cc) field (or be among the acceptable alias names, specified below)' is 'yes'. That is probably why, when the post comes via another list, it is being held: the list is not explicitly in the To field. Try putting the umbrella list in the next field 'Alias names (regexps) which qualify as explicit to or cc destination names for this list'. >Thanks in advance, > > -- > Giovanni P.

Hi, I've recently installed Mailman on one of our servers and everything works just fine except for one thing.

I've installed mailman-1.1 on a solaris 5.7 box with the latest apache and python. I can create a list and access, modify the config web pages but mail never goes through. While it passed check_perm, all files were installed root:mailman. I changed them to mailman:mailman but that didn't make a difference. What should ownership be? The ~mailman/logs/smtp-failures say: TrySMTPDelivery: To ['[EMAIL PROTECTED]']: TrySMTPDelivery:exceptions.TypeError / connect() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given) (dequeued) Any idea what might be wrong?

[Mailman-Users] Senmail Service unavailable bounce!!
hello all, I am getting "dsn=5.0.0, stat=Service unavailable" messages from sendmail for some addresses in my list!

You could start by looking at: 1. verifying you have installed Mailman's crontab on the new machine (and removed them from the old one?). 2. in Mailman $prefix/logs/qrunner to verify it is running regularly. 2. in your MTA log to see if it is delivering to Mailman. 3. in Mailman's $prefix/logs/post for entries corresponding to the maillog entries 4. in Mailman's preifx/logs/smtp for entrie corresponding to the logs/post entries >What is the problem, how to solve it.. >Warm regards >Ganeshh -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
[Mailman-Users] moderated list and administrator
How come in moderated list posts from administrator needs approval from the administrator itself? Do you know if there is a workaround for this? I have a list which I would like to use for announcement only, so that I set it to moderated (each post requires approval), but every time I post something I have to get on line and to approve my own post... Is there a wat to define an email address which never requires approval? Or to let mailman recognize the administrator's address? Thank you for your attention. --- Avv.
