Thanks Faruk Yes, backing up /home/mailman/lists/.. will save list configurations and membership information. The key file for any list is: config.db If you want a text copy of each list and its configuration you can use: /home/mailman/bin/dumpdb -o - /home/mailman/lists/listname/config.db Dumpdb dumps out the config.db database and can also be used to upload edited text directly into a database.

Re: [Mailman-Users] I'm always lost...
Are you using Apache as the web server? If so, then what group does the web server run as (GID)? I'm not familiar with the default on HP UX. Also, did you install Mailman from Source? If so, what parameters did you use with the ./configure command? You may simply need to re-install with the proper GID specified for your Apache install. If you have already set-up your GID properly then the next thing to look at is the exact entries you added to your httpd.conf file for support of Mailman.

[Mailman-Users] non-wrapping mail in Pipermail archive
I've looked in the FAQs I see some mails don't wrap when viewed in my Pipermail archive. I have one which is from a Yahoo user. No doubt that's the problem! My messages are run through StripMime to remove HTML and attachments. The Yahoo mail reported... --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- Obviously the remaining plain text wasn't set to wrap and so the archive page has to be scrolled right to read the message. A real pain! How can I deal with this? Is there another script somewhere I can use to force messages like this one to wrap at a given character count?

[Mailman-Users] broken scripts
I'm not entirely certain if this is the right forum for this question, one of the Python lists may be better, but ah well. I'm attempting to get Mailman 2.0.13 working on a Sun machine running Solaris 2.8, Apache 1.3.23, and Python 2.2.2. I've installed both mailman and python from source and set up the various permissions for mailman correctly. When trying to look at http://my.server/mailman/listinfo/ with my browser I get a page saying: Bug in Mailman version 2.0.13 We're sorry, we hit a bug! Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs. There wasn't anything in the mailman error logs, but there was an entry in apache's logs: [- Mailman Version: 2.0.13 -] [- Traceback --] Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/local/mailman/scripts/driver, line 66, in run_main from Mailman.Logging.StampedLogger import StampedLogger File /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Logging/StampedLogger.py, line 18, in ? import time ImportError: No module named time [- Python Information -] sys.version= 2.2.2 (#3, Dec 9 2002, 13:36:26) [GCC 2.8.1] sys.executable = /usr/local/bin/python sys.prefix = /usr/local sys.exec_prefix= /usr/local/python sys.path = /usr/local/python sys.platform = sunos5 [- Environment Variables -] PATH_INFO: / PYTHONPATH: /usr/local/mailman SERVER_SOFTWARE: Apache/1.3.23 (Unix) It seems to me that there's something screwy with Python's setup, since it can't seem to find the time module.

Thanks for the pointers, though. You can fix it using the withlist command, but some of the archived examples make it very easy - and remove the trial and error. With the withlist term, I was able to make a search in the archives that did locate the sort of thing I was looking for, and I set about making a python version of the scripts that people had made. When I tried it, however, I found that the attributes it was looking for are no longer part of the list config information... (I'm using 2.1b5) I'd based my python code on bin/fix_url.py, which changes a different, but important-sounding attribute (web_page_url). So I checked that attribute and found it was wrong on the lists I was having trouble with. To cut a long story short, I then used fix_url.py to trivially fix my wonky lists, all of which seem fine now. For reference, the command line I used was: bin/withlist -l -r fix_url tuesdays -v Where tuesdays is the name of one of my lists. It printed (with the -v option) a record of what it was changing, and sure enough the changes were present on the web-pages immediately. If you know where to look :) Thanks, Jon!

[Mailman-Users] anonymous posting and web posting to Mailman
This thread came up a while back, and I said I'd trundle off and play with the idea. I've got it working now, in the simplest way I could think, with the latest version of Formmail. In short, posting can be done from within an .htaccess protected directory, and the user can type in their own subscr*bed email address ...or Formmail can be tweaked to send with a single email address (like [EMAIL PROTECTED]) to the list address, which would have to have [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a subscr*ber.
