[Mailman-Users] missing archives, but full raw archive
I have version 2.0.10 of mailman on intel linux mandrake 8.1 (kernel 2.4.8) and my mailserver, on the same machine, is courier version 0.38.1. I have a mailman list setup and its working fine, except the archives. the archives are being saved, and i can see the archive file in the filesystem as well as download it from the archives section of the list, (i.e. download the full raw archive link works) but that same page, where its supposed to show all the individual messages so you can click and read them is blank, with the message: Currently, there are no archives. I know someone else (dave, coyote...) has had this similar problem and it was fixed in late may (its in this mailing list) by deactivating some anti-spam software he had where the From: header was being removed from messages before being dumped into the archive, which made the program arch choke or something, but i have no such software and the messages appear to have all the required headers. Here is a sample of messages from the archive file, note that some of the message bodies are HTML, i assume that is ok for mailman.

[Mailman-Users] questions from a beginner
Dear colleagues: I am beginning to use mailman as a vehicle to support several discussion groups on the space I buy from a commercial server in Ontario. I would like one of the lists to let all messages go through and be broadcast without having to be approved by the administrator, except those of administrative nature and incoming SPAM. I would also like the archives to be public, and the list of subscribers to be restricted to members, without the constraint of forcing them to use a password. I also would like to put all incoming messages of relevance to our theme on a newsgroup. Now, I have gone to my administration site, and (1) opened the general options page: * no problem for the list name, address of administrators, general title and descriptive introduction, the prefix, the welcome message to newcomers and the regrets message to those who leave. * I have chosen to * have the replies sent to this list, * nothing in the explicit reply to; * answered yes aboutCheck postings and intercept ones that seem to be administrative requests?; * no to Send password reminders to, eg, -owner address instead of directly to user, * no change to the suffix * Yes to the itemSend monthly password reminders or no?. I do not see what the sentence Overrides the previous option. means or implies.. * Yes to Send welcome message when people subscribe? * No to Should administrator get immediate notice of new requests, as well as daily notices about collected ones? * No to Should administrator get notices of subscribes/unsubscribes? * No to Send mail to poster when their posting is held for approval? (2) Then I went to the privacy page and did the following: * asked for the list to be advertised * limited the manoeuvre for subscription to confirm * limited access to the list of subscirbers to the administrators * answered not to Show member addrs so they're not directly recognizable as email addrs? * Answered no to Must posts be approved by an administrator? * Answered no to Restrict posting privilege to list members? (member_posting_only) * Did not put any address in the box for members accepted for posting to this list without implicit approval requirement. / while not fully understanding what the next sentence (See Restrict ... to list members for whether or not this is in addition to allowing posting by list members meant. * Answered yes to Must posts have list named in destination (to, cc) field (or be among the acceptable alias names, specified below)?, and did not put any aliases in the next box * and left the rest at default 3. For the archives, I did keep the default, i.e, messages to be archived, archives open to the public, set date of sending to refer to the message and kept a monthly organization. 4. I did not touch the other pages, although I would like to organize the list so that a newsgroup sic related and takes on the archives. 5. In spite of all that, the administrators still receive the messages sent to the list for approval.. Wher does th thing go wrong and what should we do?

[Mailman-Users] dumb newbie questions
Howdy: I'm a mailman newbie, and after reading the basic docs, readmes, and FAQs, I still have some questions. I'm running the 2.0.11 rpm on RedHat 7.1 with courier smtp, apache, and zope. I guess the zope part is only relevant because I had to modify the mod_rewrite rules for the mailman cgis. Anyway, I have it installed and running, at least partially. Here are my current issues: 1) It looks like the mailman cron jobs did not get installed by the rpm (at least I don't see them in any of the Redhat cron directories). I tried running the crontab.in, but I can't seem to become the mailman user, so nothing gets installed. The mailman user and group were created by the install, though. What can I do? 2) The server apache and mailman run on is behind an ip-masq firewall, with the public URL on port 8080 being forwarded in to port 80 on the the machine running mailman. I specified the URL as: DEFAULT_HOST_NAME ='arnolds.dhs.org' DEFAULT_URL = 'http://%s:8080/mailman/' % DEFAULT_HOST_NAME MAILMAN_OWNER = 'mailman-owner@%s' % DEFAULT_HOST_NAME but the admin page shows only www.arnolds.bogus Mailing Lists in the banner at the top of the page. I run DNS for internal-only name resolution, so I have my own bogus domain defined on my internal LAN. Is there a way around this? I haven't yet tried to see the mailman pages from the outside world, so maybe it's not a problem... Is it hopeless for me to try to run it in this configuration? I'd appreciate any and all help and/or feedback.

[Mailman-Users] Mail forwarding loops - discovered!
Hello all, I have been recently seeing a bunch of Mail forwarding Loop messages in my Postfix mail log. After pouring over this stuff for several hours, I think I found the problem... Microsoft! Seriously, here's the scoop: a user sends a message to the list, which gets properly distributed. Sometime later (I've seen a few hours to a few days), the exact message that went out of the list mysteriously comes back to the list, with the same FROM: (usually the list's admin address), and the same TO: address (the list posting address). Postfix catches the loop, as it sees it's Delivered-To line in there, and bounces the message back to the sender, which sometimes is the real sender, other times is the list bounce address. The sender gets the bounce, and thinks their message didn't go out, when it really did. I've seen at least three different mail servers that have caused this: a roadrunner server, xt1.xtlab.com, and some other one in Australia. The common thread is that they are all running Microsoft mail server software. One of the messages had a header line that indicated it came from some webmail server, so it's possible that the webmail server software itself is somehow buggered up, and sends out these messages when the user does something. If it is user interaction, that would explain the random delay I saw (up to 2 days on one message). Here's a sample header, with some comments: From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jun 13 22:09:44 2002 Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]--- my separate test mailbox to collect this message Received: from mail8.nc.rr.com (fe8.southeast.rr.com [24.93.67.55]) by list.nlenet.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 65DA9128 for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Thu, 13 Jun 2002 22:09:44 -0400 (EDT) Received: from mail pickup service by mail8.nc.rr.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Thu, 13 Jun 2002 21:58:19 -0400 --- HERE'S THE REMAILED MESSAGE GOING OUT!

Otherwise, the message gets passed on to Mailman. But the mail server software needs to be fixed! I'm sure others out there are going to see this same thing happening. I've seen it on a few different servers of my own, so I know it's not just one specific machine.
