[Mailman-Users] Really need help on Stuck Approvals of Moderated List

2002-05-15 Thread Wayne Spivak

Every day  more e-mail is getting stuck in one of our moderated lists.

I've updated MM to 2.0.10.

I'm using Python 1.5.2

If the number of e-mails is under 5 or so, MM works fine.  If it goes
over, it chokes.

How do I:

A) fix the problem from the beginning or
B) re-created the request.db so I can move out files from /mailman/data
and re-run the approval process chunk by chunk

Thank you.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman does everything except send mail

2002-05-15 Thread David Proffitt

Hello

I am running Mailman version 2.0.10 under Solaris 8 with qmail as MTA

Mailman seems to be able to do everything except send mail
 
- if I run newlist the list gets created OK but the message to the administrator is 
never sent 
- if I try to subscribe to a list I don't get the confirmation message 
- if I post to a moderated list the message shows up in the pending list but if I 
approve or reject the post no message is generated 

No attempt to send these messages shows up in the mail logs

The host can send mail (via MUA or direct injection) generated by other processes

I'm assuming its some problem with the wrapper that passes the mail on to the MTA? 

Any thoughts appreciated

David

There are many possible causes for the problem you describe. You may
want to have her read the GNU Mailman List Management Guide v 2.0. It

[Mailman-Users] pending subscription

2002-05-15 Thread Gregory Bouckhuyt

Hello,

I'm running mailman-2.0.8 on a woody and it seems that a user has 
subscribed with a wrong email address. Mailman's logs tell me this 
address subscription is pending and I can see mails going from the 
list's admin address to the pending one. Is there a way to configure the 
number of times mailman tries it, or can I stop it manually?

Let's be a little more clear as to what numbers these are:

  How many subscribers?

  How many messages sent to the list for broadcast (not how many the
  list will send, but how many sent TO the list)?

I doubt you wish to send 400K messages to each of your subscribers.
I suspect that you have 400K subscribers etc.

  Recommend Mailman 2.1beta instead of 2.0.10.

  Your MTA will be the source of your performance problems.  Spend your

  I'd generally recommend that you use a physically different system for

  this is to have Mailman deliver to localhost, and then configure the
  MTA on localhost to use a smarthost.

 PIII 1.3Ghz dual CPU (512KB L2 cache), 512MB PC133 ECC Registered

 S2518UNG (Intel ServerWorks ServerSet III chipset), CD-ROM drive, dual
 100Mb/s FE, VGA, Dual-channel Adaptec Ultra160 SCSI controller, 400W
 power supply

Add some RAM.  

Make sure that /var/spool is mounted noatime.

If you can, dedicate a physical RAID array to /var/spool that is not
shared with any other partitions.  

You'll need more disks to do this.

Turn of fsync in syslog.

etc etc 

 Is anyone familiar with a MailMan installation doing this type of
 volume or does anyone have any advice on this install.

Yes.

[Mailman-Users] mailman 2.1 bounces

Hello All,
I am using 2.1b - I added a fake test user and sent some messages to the
list - seemed that logs/bounce was logging the bounces. I then removed that
user. A couple of days later, today, I added him back, as well as another
fake user. When I send messages to the list now - nothing is logged in
logs/bounce . Any ideas how to check to see if these test users are going to
get chopped? Should the bounce log be updated immediate? Anywhere else I can
check to see what is going down?

You want a billion things that aren't in Mailman.  If you really want

Haranging people just tends to make them tell you to fuck off.

Patch to suppress List-* headers on a per-list basis (was Re: [Mailman-Users] Help )

At 12:08 AM 5/14/02, J C Lawrence wrote:
 There should be options in the admin interface to handle all of this.

Thankyou for your excellent analysis.  When can we expect your patch to
add these features?

 The 'fix' you offer me for this question is not a fix at all.

Ahh.  When can we expect your patch to do it properly?

I have a patch for 2.0.10 which allows list owners to set, on a per-list basis, 
whether the List-* headers are added to each posting. I need this for the same reason 
as the Aerosmith guy, namely because I have several outgoing-only newsletter lists 
which I don't want users trying to self-administer.

(It took me all of a half hour to figure out how to write this patch, by the way, and 
I didn't even know Python when I started. I congratulate the Mailman authors on making 
the software flexible enough to add a new attribute to mlists, generate the adin GUI 
for same automagically, and make retrofitting existing lists a simple matter of using 
withlist.)

Anyway, the FAQ says this particular modification is frowned upon, so I didn't submit 
it. If people want it, I can package it up and document it. I imagine that others have 
also implemented this, as it's a pretty obvious change to CookHeaders.py and 
MailList.py. Should I submit mine? If so, where should I send it?

i'd say any unix system without such basic services as a cron daemon is
IMHO misconfigured, unless you have *very* special needs, such as a
special-purpose embedded system.

cron is no significant load on modern machines, and it has a small
memory footprint. the one percent memory usage you see here is of a
total of 48 megs of ram - the system is very low-spec.
you could configure it to run qrunner only every 10 minutes, but i doubt
such tweaks are worth it.

[Mailman-Users] pending subscriptions

2002-05-15 Thread vodka

Hi,

I installed mailman and everything seems to work fine up until a user gets
the confirmation message.  After that, mailman puts the person into a
pending status.Unfortunately this status doesn't get updated and users
won't get subscribed to the list.

I've tried almost everything, and I can't come up with a solution.  In
administration -- privacy setings, I selected confirm.  There might be a
permissions problem, because when I do chmod -R a+rwx /home/mailman the
pending status turns into new in the subscribe log, and users get their
welcome email.  But when I do that, everything breaks and mailman says it
encountered a bug.

Does anyone know what's wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated.

[Mailman-Users] almost but not quite

2002-05-15 Thread Bryan Walls
Title: almost but not quite


I'm trying to get Mailman working on my system.

I've followed the setup directions twice through. Everything
seems to be working, except that when I send a message to a list, no
mail goes out.

Subscription notices do seem to be going okay. And I get messages
at the mailman address. That's all, though.

I'm using sendmail, did configure to set default user to be 12.
(--with-mail-gid=12)

Here's the setting from sendmail.cf:

# default UID (can be username or userid:groupid)
O DefaultUser=8:12


I actually found I could send mail to my test list by
doing:

su mail
/etc/smrsh/wrapper post test

where the second command matches the aliases entry.

If I try to do /etc/smrsh/wrapper post test from the mailman
account, I get Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 12, GOT gid 501.
(Reconfigure to take 501?)

Any ideas why it's not working for mail coming in?

[Mailman-Users] MAILMAN_SITE_LIST

2002-05-15 Thread Chris Wiegand

When I try, with Mailman 2.1b1 (yes, I put it into production, and no, I
haven't upgraded to 2.1b2 yet), to use the mailpasswds command, it's giving
me this.

bash-2.05# ./mailpasswds
Site list is missing: mailman

Any ideas on how to fix this? In my Defaults.py I've got:


MAILMAN_SITE_LIST = 'mailman'

which should be unmodified (since one should use mm_cfg.py, IIRC).

Re: Patch to suppress List-* headers on a per-list basis (was Re:[Mailman-Users] Help )

2002-05-15 Thread Lewis Lau


Hi Bob,

I did the similar thing on mailman as well, that I hack the CookHeaders.py 
a little bit to remove the List-Post, List-Subscribe and 
List-Unsubscribe mail headers. But can you tell me what to do with the 
MailList.py?

 Thankyou for your excellent analysis.  When can we expect your patch to
 add these features?
 
  The 'fix' you offer me for this question is not a fix at all.
 
 Ahh.  When can we expect your patch to do it properly?

I have a patch for 2.0.10 which allows list owners to set, on a per-list 
basis, whether the List-* headers are added to each posting. I need this 
for the same reason as the Aerosmith guy, namely because I have several 
outgoing-only newsletter lists which I don't want users trying to 
self-administer.

(It took me all of a half hour to figure out how to write this patch, by 
the way, and I didn't even know Python when I started. I congratulate the 
Mailman authors on making the software flexible enough to add a new 
attribute to mlists, generate the adin GUI for same automagically, and 
make retrofitting existing lists a simple matter of using withlist.)

Anyway, the FAQ says this particular modification is frowned upon, so I 
didn't submit it. If people want it, I can package it up and document it. 
I imagine that others have also implemented this, as it's a pretty obvious 
change to CookHeaders.py and MailList.py. Should I submit mine? If so, 
where should I send it?

- Bob
