[Mailman-Users] RELEASED Mailman 2.0.10

2002-04-17 Thread Barry A. Warsaw


Hot on the heels of the last release, I'm announcing Mailman 2.0.10
which fixes a few minor problems.  See the NEWS file entries below.
This is not a critical fix, although it will eliminate a confusing
(but harmless) error message, and could provide better support for
sites which use the qmail MTA.

As usual, I've made both full source tarballs and patches available.
See

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103

for links to download all the patches and the source tarball.  If you
decide to install the patches, please do read the release notes first:

http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=63042

See also:

http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman
http://www.list.org
http://mailman.sf.net

Cheers,
-Barry

2.0.10 (09-Apr-2002)

- Closed another small race condition.

- Add the RFC-2822 recommended Message-ID: header on internally
  generated outgoing messages.  Not all MTAs add this field if
  missing (read: Qmail).

By default Mailman delivers mail to the local MTA on localhost via SMTP,
yes.

[Mailman-Users] ImportError with regex and binascii? List has stopped sending

2002-04-17 Thread Gee

A follow-up to my earlier problem. My mail was not going through and I was 
getting lot's of the following excerpt in my /home/mailman/logs/error file:

>Apr 16 16:34:02 2002 qrunner(5706):   File "/usr/lib/python2.1/regsub.py", 
>line 20, in ?
>Apr 16 16:34:02 2002 qrunner(5706):  import regex
>Apr 16 16:34:02 2002 qrunner(5706): ImportError :  No module named regex

My configuration, for the record is Red Hat 7, Mailman 2.0.9,  Python 2.1.

I added a symbolic link to to re.py in /usr/lib/python2.1 (thanks to 
whoever suggested this):

cd /usr/lib/python2.1
ln -s re.py regex.py

...and suddenly backlogged mail came gushing out! (Including sundry test 
messages -- be warned!)

As I understand it, re.py has some syntax differences from regex.py, so I'm 
not sure yet if this is a viable fix. I'll let you know if something 
unexpected occurs.

[Mailman-Users] I/O error in Runner.py when archiving under 2.1a3

2002-04-17 Thread Ellen Spertus

A mailing list of mine works except for archiving.

Whenever a message is processed, the following error shows up in Mailman's 
error log:

Apr 17 09:29:47 2002 (1253) Uncaught runner exception: [Errno 5] 
Input/output error

IOError: [Errno 5] Input/output error

I am using 2.1a3 on Redhat.

As far as I can tell, the permissions under 
/usr/local/mailman/archives/private are correct.  Root and mailman have r/w 
access to everything.

When I manually run "./arch sys 
/usr/local/mailman/archives/private/sys.mbox/sys.mbox" as either root or 
mailman, the archives are correctly generated.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Ellen

At one time, it would probably have been srm.conf.  A now very common way
to write one's Apache configuration is to combine the classic three files
into the httpd.conf file, and leave the other two as near-empty stubs (just
comments).  This folding together goes back to the late 1990s (and made my
life lots simpler).

If srm.conf doesn't seem to have anything relevant in it, try httpd.conf.

> Not Red Hat, Apache.

Yes. Thanks for the catch. What's worse is that I was thinking GNU/Linux in 
general (as opposed to Windows -- I assume it's the same there, but have 
never played with it.)

Meanwhile, any bites on my ImportError issue stated earlier?

An alternate route to solution: has anyone had trouble with Mailman scripts 
and modules being unable to find Python when using the #! /usr/bin/env 
python shebang in Red Hat 7. And if so, what did you do to get around it?

Thanks again in advance.

Thanks to Ron Jarrell from the Mailman-Users list who pointed out to me
that Postfix just isn't doing what I assumed it does. It's always executing 
piped aliases as nobody, no matter what Setgid bits are set, and no matter
what users I've set up for postfix' internal use.

Several people pointed out that setting Mailman's expected GID to 60001
could provide the quick way out, but I don't happen to like this solution
without thinking about it carefully. ;-)

I'm going to try to find out how to make Postfix execute specific commands
as specific users.

Thanks all,

Re: [Mailman-Users] Apache problems

2002-04-17 Thread Anna Fong

Mailman docs says srm.conf but Apache recommends httpd.conf

The reason may be that Apache processes the httpd.conf first so you only
want to use the srm.conf to overwrite any defaults.  Read the comments in
your srm.conf file for more detail.

Not Red Hat, Apache.  That move was made several versions back.  Apache
still ships with srm.conf and access.conf, but both are empty and is suggested
to make those modifications in httpd.conf.

[Mailman-Users] bouncybounce..

2002-04-17 Thread E.J.L. Kemper

Ok, so it looks like I am getting nowhere...:-(

The newlist command with a test send me a mail (oh yes!) with the site
pointed out, but I get a HTTP 404 error there.

also when I send a mail with help in the subject to the test list the
mailserver bounced it with the following:


The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by
the server. The rejected e-mail address was '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.
Subject 'help', Account: 'mail.snip.nl', Server: 'mail.snip.nl', Protocol:
SMTP, Server Response: '550 5.1.1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... User
unknown', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number:
0x800CCC79

Anyone?

I really want to use Mailman. I looks great on other sites!!!
I think is is a really good product, but I am a newbie at linux, so the
"great install"  aludes me at every move

On RedHat linux (default install) the main Apache configuration file is:
  /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

To find all occurrences of httpd.conf on your machine, you can use:
  locate httpd.conf

Re: [Mailman-Users] MI:3 - Installing Mailman on Solaris

2002-04-17 Thread Ron Jarrell

Basically, what's happening, is that postfix isn't configured how you think it's 
configured.

You told mailman to expect the wrapper to be invoked by the mail system with a gid of
"postfix", which, from your files below is 5.  It's telling you it was *not* 
invoked that
way, it was run with a gid of 60001, which is nobody.

Your two, very simple, choices are:

Re run configure with --with-mail-gid=60001
Reconfigure postfix to run programs as postfix instead of nobody.

it looks like your mailer verifies the sender domain of each
incoming message and rejects the mail if it can't be found. this is
becoming more and more common, because spammers often use bogus
domains.

try an existing address.

[Mailman-Users] feature request: show regex on approval page

2002-04-17 Thread Joern Nettingsmeier

hi !

new to mailman, and i already have a wish:
would it be complicated to tweak the admin requests page so that it
spits out the regex which caught the message ?
right now, all it says is "suspicious header", which does not really
help with filter debugging.

i haven't the faintest idea of python yet, otherwise i might have
sent a patch, but it does not sound like a big deal to me.

best regards,

jörn

[Mailman-Users] Digest problems - 2.1b1

2002-04-17 Thread Sarah K. Miller

I'm having trouble with my digests in 2.1b1. I'm trying to get the "extraneous" 
headers removed from the digest. I've edited /Mailman/Handlers/ToDigest.py  to read as:

KEEP = ['Date', 'From', 'To', 'Cc', 'Subject', 'Message-ID', 'Keywords',
# I believe we should also keep these headers though.
# 'In-Reply-To', 'References', 'Content-Type', 'MIME-Version',
# 'Content-Transfer-Encoding', 'Precedence',
# Mailman 2.0 adds these headers, but they don't need to be kept from
# the original message: Message
]

However, it leaves the additional headers in the digest unless I force a digest to be 
generated manually. The digest settings are also ignoring the size specified by my 
list admin. It's set to generate at 50kb, but insists on generated at 30.

Any idea what's up with this and how to make it work?

Re: [Mailman-Users] MI:3 - Installing Mailman on Solaris

2002-04-17 Thread Matt Lavergne

In your postfix configuration files there should be a line that specifies
what user and group postfix runs as. It looks as if you have it set to run
as nogroup and all you should have to do is change that to run as group
postfix

[Mailman-Users] MI:3 - Installing Mailman on Solaris

2002-04-17 Thread Martin Schmitt

(This goes to the Mailman-Users list as well as the Sun Managers list. My
troubleshooting skills are at their very final end here.)

Hi everyone, once again.

I've returned to yet another attempt at installing Mailman 2.0.9 on my shiny 
new Solaris 8 box, and all I'm getting is:

Apr 17 13:09:36 vortex Mailman mail-wrapper: [ID 702911 mail.error] Failure to exec 
script. WANTED gid 5, GOT gid 60001.  (Reconfigure to take 60001?)

with status 2: "/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd testlist". Command output: Failure 
to exec script. WANTED gid 5, GOT gid 60001.  (Reconfigure to take 60001?) )

I'm not an idiot, at least not completely, I hope. I know that this is being 
dealt with in a FAQ somewhere, I've read and followed it a few weeks ago, 
but I can't work it out. What more am I supposed to do than rm -Rf'ing 
everything Mailman related and starting over from scratch making really sure 
everything is configured right? You know, retrying over and over gets old 
after a few attempts. I've even backed away from my /opt layout and let 
mailman install to the default location /home/mailman, all to no avail.

I configured Mailman like this:

./configure --with-username=mailman --with-groupname=mailman --with-cgi-gid=httpd 
--with-mail-gid=postfix

read/write/setuid/intr/largefiles/logging/onerror=panic/dev=1540021 on Sat Mar 16 
04:13:16 2002

When sending mail to a list, all I get is:

Apr 17 13:09:36 vortex Mailman mail-wrapper: [ID 702911 mail.error] Failure to exec 
script. WANTED gid 5, GOT gid 60001.  (Reconfigure to take 60001?)

with status 2: "/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd testlist". Command output: Failure 
to exec script. WANTED gid 5, GOT gid 60001.  (Reconfigure to take 60001?) )

What is missing? Does anyone of you have Mailman running on Solaris with
Postfix, like I'm trying to do? Does the Fallback to "nobody" has anything
to do with Postfix security? 

The precise script in question looks like this:

# ls -l /home/mailman/mail/wrapper
-rwxr-sr-x   1 root mailman36536 Apr 17 12:54 /home/mailman/mail/wrapper

The CGI interface works fine, BTW.

Thanks in advance for all hints,

-martin

[Mailman-Users] refused relay (host)

I have mailman up and running, I can post to the list, can look at the list
archives from the web.

But when I someone tries to subscribe via the web, an entry in exim_mainlog

Do you have an MTA running on localhost?  Does it answer on port 25 (try
telnet)?  

Make sure you are using SMTP as your delivery method rather than
SENDMAIL (mm_cfg.py).

[Mailman-Users] I/O error in Runner.py when archiving under 2.1a3

2002-04-17 Thread Ellen Spertus

A mailing list of mine works except for archiving.

Whenever a message is processed, the following error shows up in Mailman's 
error log:

Apr 17 09:29:47 2002 (1253) Uncaught runner exception: [Errno 5]

I am using 2.1a3 on Redhat.

As far as I can tell, the permissions under 
/usr/local/mailman/archives/private are correct.  Root and mailman have r/w 
access to everything.

When I manually run "./arch sys 
/usr/local/mailman/archives/private/sys.mbox/sys.mbox" as either root or 
mailman, the archives are correctly generated.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Ellen

2002-04-17 Thread E.J.L. Kemper

Hi,

Hope someone can help me out.

I installed Mailman OK in my RedHat Linux , but the only thing I can't get
right is getting it under my website.
The installation run fine (I think...)

Here's the clue, I am a (very fresh !) newbie with Apache, so I cannot
figure out the parts about setting up Mailman under it.

Can anyone just help me getting the last part done?


Regards

Erik

[Mailman-Users] [newbie] Database?

2002-04-17 Thread Adam Cripps

I've just started a new job and bring all the joys of Open Source with me.
We currently run Lotus Bloats here and use it for simple web stuff.

However, Bloats doesn't provide a nice interface for mailing lists and I'd
like to set up a standalone server to manage mailing lists. Currently, it
will be a Linux box.  I'm trying to install a test server at home (on my
own box).

As for my questions, does Mailman need a database?  I'm sure I read last
week that it did, but for the life of me cannot find the page that
commented on that.  From Linux's point for view, which is the easiest
database to set up?  I read about BerkelyDB (IIRC) - is that a standard
installation on most linux distros?  If it is, how can I check if it's
installed?

Also, which is the easiest to get Mailman to work with - Postfix, Exim or
sendmail? I know I have Postfix installed at home (and know nothing about
it) but other people on my lug group have suggested Exim. I've tried
installing Exim and it seems to need a load of other stuff. How does
Postfix go with Mailman? Good or bad?

Thanks in advance for any comments.

Adam

PS. Sorry if this is a bit off-topic - I have been following the list for
only a week now. If it is, please feel free to reply via email and not on
the list (although that defeats the whole object of a mailing list :-) )
