[Mailman-Users] From: vs. Sender: and MS Outlook
Oh no. I've just discovered that Outlook replies to the "Sender:" field, over the "From:" field in many situations. It uses "From:" when you hit "Reply", but it uses "Sender:" to display the "From:" field in certain places (only some places! it's crazy!), and worst of all, it uses Sender: when you respond to Outlook calendar announcements. This is bad in our environment, where nearly everyone uses Outlook, and people often send meeting announcement to the all-company list. Now that I've moved our lists to mailman, all of these calendar responses go to the list-admin (me!). Yuck. There's no way I'm going to be able to get these people to stop using Outlook, so I'm looking for other solutions to this problem. Do you think it'd be a *really* bad idea for me to modify mailman to not include the Sender: field at all? I realize it's contrary to RFC 822.. But is it actually *bad* in any practical sense that I'm not realizing? Does anyone here follow these things and know what Microsoft's position on this is? It seems pretty clear to me that their using the "Sender:" header like that is just *wrong*, but maybe I'm missing something. --jessica -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users

I assume you're referring to the user password; that's irrelevant to the admin. Once authorized for the admin functions, the admin just checks or unchecks appropriate toggles on the member admin page, then hits Submit. Only the users need their own passwords.

[Mailman-Users] Question about digests and accents
Hi, I have a problem with digests generated by MailMan, when messages contain accents. The topics are displaying them incorrectly and so do the plain text digests. I did my own research around the subject and couldn't find much about it, it looks like it's a limitation of the current version of MailMan. Before declaring the case closed, though, I would like to ask if anyone found a solution to this or if someone can provide me with some hints to a solution.

[Mailman-Users] Permission problems during new setup ([Errno 13] Permission denied)
Hi all Python/Mailman experts, I am having problems setting up Mailman (1.1 and 2.05, 2.08 and 2.07) My problem seems to revolve around permissions. I configured mailman with the following command line (as suggested by the exim-howto): ./configure --with-mail-gid=8 --with-cgi-gid=65534 --prefix=/var/lib/mailman --with-ownername=mail --with-ownergroup=mail --with-username=mail --host=noggon.com --with-groupname=mail Firstly almost all installed files need their permissions changed (using bin/check_perms bad gid (has: scott, expected mail) (fixing)) - is this a normal part of installation? Once all steps in the INSTALL file have been done then begin the errors (in the apache error log): Traceback (innermost last): File "/var/lib/mailman/scripts/driver", line 71, in run_main immediate=1) File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Logging/StampedLogger.py", line 49, in __init__ Logger.__init__(self, category, nofail, immediate) File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Logging/Logger.py", line 40, in __init__ self.__get_f() File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Logging/Logger.py", line 55, in __get_f f = self.__fp = open(self.__filename, 'a+', 1) IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman/logs/error' But what I do not understand is that the permission on the error file seem as I would expect!: -rw-rw-r--1 mail mail0 Feb 18 18:22 /var/lib/mailman/logs/error It seems as though the webserver must have write permission to the logs/error file - this makes sense as the error is being created by the cgi-bin script. But annoying! and not picked up by check_perms Correcting the permissions (so the webserver has access to the files) seems to put the permissions in a loop of webserver->mail->webserver (each change causing an error). Creating a list using bin/newlist also causes problems because the list files (esp. /var/lib/mailman/lists/test/config.db) does not allow the webserver to read it - so viewing details of this list causes an error I have searched high and low for others having similar problems but none give insight into a solution.

Hi, I just got Mailman up and running. I've been doing some testing by posting messages to a list I created and then replying to them.

I believe I fixed the problem. I don't know the exact cause. I sent a message via script to each of the 1800+ subscribers to the majordomo list. I got back about 200 bounces. I removed all of those addresses from the mailman list. I grep-ed through the qfiles directory for bounce messsages, including one really crazy bounce caused by a majordomo list server address being subscribed. (Majordomo was replying, quoting the welcome message with "> ", over and over and over. I wonder if python saw redirects in all the garbage.)

[Mailman-Users] configlist with password
I rolled a big mailman upgrade this weekend that fixed my corrupted dbs. Since I was used to using the mmsite password, I never thought to check whether the original list passwd was saved with configlist -o. To my dismay & just a few phones calls, I find it is not. I found that I could feed the old encrypted passwd back into config_list -i and make it work. Whipping up some quick shell looping, I was able to create a directory of files listname-passwd of the format: password = 'encrypted_paswd" ex. password = '\261\271\251r\314\330\311b\244s\220\233\227\000~\264' Feeding this into another for loop, I got several lists in, but then all the config_lists started to hang. The example above is one that did so (this is a real passwd. If anyone decrypts it, who knows what it'll be...) I found the majority of them hung. Is there something wrong with the format of the file? escape or special characters? Is there a better way to do what I am trying to do?

Try taking qrunner out of cron, sending a message to the list, and starting qrunner under ktrace. Then do the 'kdump | less' and you should be able to see where it changes to busy-waiting ...

Yours is just spinning its wheels. Hrm.

I still haven't found a solution for this one. I changed mm_cfg.py several times. Tried fixing by deleting the *.pyc files. Even reinstalled mailman. No luck! Is it possible that the problem is related to the python version. I use version 2.2 By the way why are there several (five) different python version advertised on the Python web-site?
