 I'd be more surprised if your ISP would refuse to do it.  Stripping MIME 
 off mailing list destined posts makes everyone's life easier.  It helps 
 ensure that the list can't be used to spread a virus, it helps ensure that 
 unsubscribe requests are processed, etc.  It's not that hard to install, 
 and it's a huge value-add for the ISP.

It would be a reason to immediately change ISP if my mailing list would
break all signed e-mail. Also, there are many lists where file
attachments are not that uncommon.

While I do not like html mail, I doubt that generally stripping MIME is
a good move. Any ISP should install that only on request for a specific
list.

[Mailman-Users] Perhaps an arb question but would really appreciate any help

2002-07-17 Thread Geoff Robertson

Hi,

I'm trying to found out where to set up the indentation formatting for
messages in the archive , at the moment all the messages and their
replies are not differentiated (one long list down the left hand side)
so it is quite hard to tell where a thread starts. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

[Mailman-Users] Importing Archives From Listserv

2002-07-17 Thread Victor Daniel a.k.a the MacNut

Hello all,
I've looked over the documentation on Mailman and can't find anything 
on this, so I have to ask: is there any way to import message 
archives from Listserv into Mailman? I'd like to move a list from 
Listserv into Mailman, but there are more than two years on archived 
messages from this list that I'd like to keep and possibly integrate 
into Mailman's own archives as well.

Is this possible? If so, how?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Feedback?

This sounds a lot like what a weblog server does. A great example of this
in action is http://www.slashdot.org. If you have access to a server that
can run Zope, you should try a Zope product called Squishdot. I believe
it does user feedback really well, though my experience with it is

 creating a disincentive for downgrading a lot of other people.

 I'm not interested in debating the ethics or efficacy of such a mechanism
 right now, but I'd be more than happy to hear suggestions about how to make
 it work properly.  I expect it to be relatively simple -- addition of a code
 identifying the sender and recipient, which feed back via a CGI to Apache
 and then MySQL.  I'm a bit concerned about the implicit slowdown in
 delivery, but I'm not looking at a high-volume list yet.  That's the
 one-click approach.  Otherwise, I could munge something into the archives,
 but that'll require login to identify who's voting.

 Any and all suggestions will be welcome.  Pointers on the best place(s) to
 touch the code will be gratefully accepted.

 Except that's not where things are headed. Especially when you start dealing
 with non-english language stuff. Instead, we need to selectively strip
 UNSAFE content and stop going to LCD situations.

 But I know from previous discussions you won't agree with me on this, and I
 won't push the agenda right now...

Mailman needs to have better support for MIME in digests and archives
before not stripping all MIME makes sense.  My users who were happiest
when I started stripping all MIME were the digest recipients who
previously had to wade through raw MIME.  You can tell Mailman to
send digests with each message as a MIME attachment, but that is harder
for most people to browse using common MUAs.

Two of the four stripping tools mentioned in the FAQ allow for
selective stripping of content.  I'll agree that my tool (stripmime)
takes the most drastic approach of stripping everything.

Re: [Mailman-Users] HowTo edit Archives by hand

2002-07-17 Thread Jon Carnes

I think this is already in the FAQ, but just in case, here is a brief run 
through for the 2.0.x series...

The archives are found in:
  ~mailman/archives/private/

There are two subdirectories for each list:

  listname.mbox:  This directory contains one file, a text based 
Mailbox with all the archived messages.  This file is the 
*real* archive.

  listname : This directory contains all the manufactured Web/text
files needed to display the archived messages.  The files in
this directory are all generated from the Mailbox found in the
other directory.

To edit out an email,
  - Take mailman off-line (stopping cron is effective for this).
  - Goto the Mailbox containing the archive
  - Edit this large file and remove the offending email

  Note: this is a large text based file containing
  many emails, each stacked on top of each other 
  inside the file.  Each email starts with a line like:
From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Mon Mar 12 14:23 2002

  There will be other lines in the email that look similar 
  and start with From:  (note the colon instead of a space)
 From: User Name user@domain
  These lines are header lines inside the email.

  - Once the offending emails are edited or removed,
 move the files in the current web files for the archive
 to a backup directory and run:
   ~mailman/bin/arch  listname 
 This will regenerate all the HTML files used by the archive.
  - Bring mailman back on-line (restart cron)

Best of luck,

Jon Carnes

[Mailman-Users] Extending mailman (adding config options)

2002-07-17 Thread Laurence Berland

Those of you following my previous emails (lamentably unanswered so far) will 
already know that I'm trying to extend mailman to add color-coded graphics to 
the archives to parse logwatch emails and such more efficiently.

I'd like to have this configurable from the archive options page, so I was 
wondering what the standard structure for adding options is.  Is there a 
premade set of mailman functions for extending this in a standard and 
non-kldugy way, and are they accessible as is from HyperArch.py?

[Mailman-Users] Re: Exim 4.05 Mailiman - Missing the Directors Configuration(update)

2002-07-17 Thread Mike Gifford

Hello Again,

 | I'm assuming now that the Directors Config area in the runtime
 | configuration file has been removed in 4.x
 Correct.  exim4 was revamped, and the router/director distinction was
 removed.

Ok..  So when mailman's README.EXIM tells me to put files in the
Directors section, this should be the same as putting it in the ROUTERS
CONFIGURATION section as exim is no longer distinguishing between the
two.

 | If so does anyone have any suggestions on the modifications required
 | to a 4.05 setting to get mailman  exim cooperating?
 Convert the example director to a router.

I've tried to do this... I can't see how it would need any more
configuration..  However exim 4.05 seems to dislike the driver =
smartuser in the following (Now at the bottom of the Routers Config
section):

list_owner_director:
   driver = smartuser
   require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/${lc:$local_part}/config.db
   suffix = -owner
   new_address = ${lc:$local_part}-admin@${domain}


The error it gives me is as follows:

[root@learningpartnership exim.mike]# bin/exim -C configure -bV
Exim version 4.05 #3 built 13-Jul-2002 23:35:22
Copyright (c) University of Cambridge 2002
2002-07-16 10:31:21 Exim configuration error in line 438:
  router list_owner_director: cannot find router driver smartuser


I've been searching for info on this error, but I can't seem to find
much of interest.  Does exim 4.05 support a smartuser driver or has this
concept too been revised.

 The Mailman 2.1 CVS tree has instructions on using exim4.

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/mailman/mailman/README.EXIM?rev=2.4content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

From this I'm guessing that 
driver = smartuser
should be replaced by
driver = accept

But pretty much every line in the exim config looks like it would need
to be rewritten as 
suffix = -request
new_address = ${lc:$local_part}-admin@${domain}
(and likely others)
prefix = owner-

all need to be rewritten for 4.0.5

 I'm sure you can combine the data in the mailman instructions and
 exim's spec to create the necessary transports and routers tailored to
 your usage of mailman.  If you have specific questions about certain
 options or something, then by all means ask.  

The are very different and I don't know enough about exim or mailman to
wade through the code and try to find something that 'may' work via
trial  error.  Could take years..

Is there a way to rewrite this easily for exim 4.05?  What other
instructions are no longer useful in the new exim and can I just replace
them?

list_owner_director:
   driver = smartuser
   require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/${lc:$local_part}/config.db
   suffix = -owner
   new_address = ${lc:$local_part}-admin@${domain}

owner_list_director:
   driver = smartuser
   require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/${lc:$local_part}/config.db
   prefix = owner-
   new_address = ${lc:$local_part}-admin@${domain}

##
## Next 3 directors direct admin, request and list mail to the
appropriate
## transport.  List existence is checked as above.

list_admin_director:
   driver = smartuser
   suffix = -admin
   require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/${lc:$local_part}/config.db
   transport = list_admin_transport

list_request_director:
   driver = smartuser
   suffix = -request
   require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/${lc:$local_part}/config.db
   transport = list_request_transport

list_director:
   driver = smartuser
   require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/${lc:$local_part}/config.db
   transport = list_transport

 (I haven't personally
 configured mailman so I can't really give any better info than that)

That makes it harder..  I didn't think I was doing anything too
groundbreaking here..  this isn't the alpha release of exim..  Had hoped
that others using mailman had upgraded to a more current version of exim
than 3.33 and would have experience (and config pointers) to share.

  From: User Name user@domain
   These lines are header lines inside the email.

   - Once the offending emails are edited or removed,
  move the files in the current web files for the archive
  to a backup directory and run:
~mailman/bin/arch  listname
  This will regenerate all the HTML files used by the archive.
   - Bring mailman back on-line (restart cron)

 Best of luck,

 Jon Carnes

[Mailman-Users] Setup problem w/email commands

2002-07-17 Thread Andrew Maisel

Just installed Mailman v2.0.9 with Python v2.1.3 on FreeBSD, and I'm having
difficulty enabling any active responses to email commands.  For example:

o  posts to the list result in a copy being sent to the list owner only --
not to the subscribers

o  email subscribe requests result in a copy being sent to the list owner,
but do not result in any server responses, i.e. subscriber does not receive
a confirmation email, and is not shown on list of subscribers

o  email unsubscribe requests = same problem

o  email help requests = blank email response

Suggestions??

Thanks!

[Mailman-Users] Mailman Install Issues

2002-07-17 Thread Christopher Van Oosterhout

Hello All,

I have used Mailman in the past on other servers and really appreciated 
it.  Now it is time to change servers and I am having some problems.

First of all I have an issue that it appears from my searching that there 
is not currently a solution for.  I am running Red Hat 7.x ... it is my 
understanding that there is no practical and safe way to upgrade these 
machines to the version of Python needed to operate the latest Mailman 
version.  Is that correct?

Now on to the more pressing problem.  I am trying to install 
Mailman.  Every time when I complete the ./configure command and then run 
make install  I get an error saying that there is no target for install and 
make stops.

Any ideas?  What am I doing wrong?

Christopher

[Mailman-Users] Re: [Mailman-Developers] Extending mailman (adding config options)

2002-07-17 Thread Barry A. Warsaw


 LB == Laurence Berland [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

LB Those of you following my previous emails (lamentably
LB unanswered so far) will already know that I'm trying to extend
LB mailman to add color-coded graphics to the archives to parse
LB logwatch emails and such more efficiently.

LB I'd like to have this configurable from the archive options
LB page, so I was wondering what the standard structure for
LB adding options is.  Is there a premade set of mailman
LB functions for extending this in a standard and non-kldugy way,
LB and are they accessible as is from HyperArch.py?

I'm not totally sure what you're asking about, but there is definitely
a recipe for adding new mailing list configuration options.

Briefly outlined:

- Decide on an attribute name (or names if there are more than one).
  Be sure they don't collide with existing names.

- Decide what the data type will be (bool, int, strings) -- for
  simplicity try to stick to one of the 13 existing Enumeration for
  Mailman cgi widget types defined in Defaults.py.in

- Add attribute init code for newly created lists.  For
  archiver/pipermail options, these would go in Archiver.InitVars() in
  Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py

- Add support for schema updating for existing lists.  If you're
  adding new config options, this probably means adding a few lines to
  NewVars() in Mailman/versions.py

- Bump the DATA_FILE_VERSION so the schemas will auto-update on next
  MailList object load.

- Add the gui goo (i.e. the widget descriptions).  For the archiver
  admin page, you're talking about adding to the returned list in
  Archive.GetConfigInfo() in Mailman/Gui/Archive.py.

HTH,
-Barry

[Mailman-Users] newbie question --installation

2002-07-17 Thread Hongbin Liu


Greetings all:

 I thought I just got mailman set up. I created
 a test mailing list test and try to subscribe
 to the list. I got confirmation number and
 reply as instructed. But I never got Welcome
 message.  View subscribers of test or
 running bin/list_members test gave me a blank
 page.

 I would appreciate you kind help if you can point
 out what could be wrong with my setting.
 Thanks in advance!

 Hongbin
