Re: [Mailman-Users] footer
Forgive my lack of exact language. To be more precise, you can turn on personalization for a list using the Web-Admin. Once you do that certain other features become available and you can then edit the Footer (using the Web-Admin) and put in variables that will be recognized and replaced by Mailman with things like the persons email address, the list name, the admin address, etc. There is no need to know anything except the names of the variables to use in the footer. If you look in the Archives from about two weeks ago, someone laid out the procedure very nicely. I would look it up for you, but my archives are currently off-line while I'm doing some other work...

Re: [Mailman-Users] ValueError: bad marshal data
It could be trying to process some waiting mail for one of your lists. You should run a ~mailman/bin/check_db on each of your lists. If the config file is corrupted too badly, you can replace the corrupt config.pck with an older one: config.pck.last And by replace, I mean stop mailmanctl and then copy the old config over the new one. The old file represents your configuration before you made your last change. Of course, if you are a good sysadmin, you might just have backups of the current ones on your back up server and you can recover from there. If that doesn't clear up your problems then you might need to clean out the qfiles.

If you have Postfix as an MTA, then you can do body_checks on the email *body* only to silently ignore any lines with extraneous headers by using a regexp to ignore them. However, this is best done on a server which is not also an all-purpose MTA in case people forward full headers to others for analysis.

[Mailman-Users] 'Pre-sales' questions...
Before I consider Mailman as a newsletter mail list solution, I have a few questions. I hope you have time to answer them... - Does Mailman allow you to create custom headers/footers? That is, can I write specific text and have it be inserted before and after the body of each email? You know, "You received this message because... (header)" and "If you wish to be removed from this list... (footer)" - Does Mailman support attachments, styled text and HTML email formats? I'm not a technical guy, is this question about multipart or MIME support? I have multiple people who can send email to the list. Several use HTML email clients. Does Mailman support that? Does Mailman support styled text (bold, color, size changes)? Does Mailman support sending attachments? - KEY: Is the header/footer feature supported when using email formats other than plain text? I currently use SmartList for our mailing list needs. As soon as the email Content-Type is -not- plain text, the header/footer is omitted from the email. Grrr. This happens anytime someone attaches a file, styles text or uses the HTML email format. I need a mail list solution that supports custom headers/footers -with- email Content-Types besides plain text.

[Mailman-Users] Nothing gets archived...
(Please cc me on any replies, as I'm not subscribed to this list.) I've been using Mailman for a couple years to run several small private, non-archived mailing lists. Today, I tried creating a public, archived mailing list for the first time. The list mail comes and goes just fine, but nothing turns up in the archives as far as I can tell. I googled a bit but couldn't find anything helpful. I'm hoping one of the experts here can steer me quickly in the right direction before a lot of mail messages flow through unarchived. Here's my configuration: mailman 2.0.9 built from source running on Mandrake Linux with (I believe) Python 2.1.1. (I hesitate a bit there because I have several versions of Python installed. The mailman user sees /usr/bin/python before /usr/local/bin/python though.) ~mailman is /home/mailman. The relevant bits of the archives tree looks like so: % ls -lR archives archives: total 2 drwxr-s--x 24 skip mailman 1024 Jan 28 21:44 private/ drwxrwsr-x2 skip mailman 1024 Jan 28 21:46 public/ archives/private: total 22 drwxrwsr-x2 skip mailman 1024 Jan 28 21:44 csv.mbox/ archives/private/csv.mbox: total 0 archives/public: total 0 lrwxrwxrwx1 skip mailman19 Jan 28 21:44 csv -> ../private/csv.mbox/ I manually renamed archives/public/csv.mbox to archives/public/csv because the link to the list archives web page is to http://manatee.mojam.com/pipermail/csv/ Speaking of which, the Mailman portion of my Apache config file looks like so: ScriptAlias /mailman/ "/home/mailman/cgi-bin/" Alias /pipermail/ "/home/mailman/archives/public/" Options FollowSymLinks Indexes SetHandler cgi-script Options ExecCGI The only new bits I added today were the Alias directive and the stuff. The ScriptAlias directive and stuff were there before and work fine. I can get to http://manatee.mojam.com/pipermail/csv/ just fine, but there's nothing there. Do archive messages not get appended immediately as mail transits the system? Here's mailman's crontab: # At 5PM every day, mail reminders to admins as to pending requests 0 17 * * * /usr/local/bin/python -S /home/mailman/cron/checkdbs # # Noon, mail digests for lists that do periodic as well as threshhold delivery. 0 12 * * * /usr/local/bin/python -S /home/mailman/cron/senddigests # # 5 AM on the first of each month, mail out password reminders. 0 5 1 * * /usr/local/bin/python -S /home/mailman/cron/mailpasswds # # Every 5 mins, try to gate news to mail.

[Mailman-Users] Is Mailman right for my app?
I'm building a web application in PHP to upload multiple mailing lists via text files and merge the addresses (eliminate duplicates) to create a single list. This final list will reside in my web db, and can have up to 50,000 email addresses. Up to this point is no problem, but... I need to then be able to create a mailing list from the list in my db (preferably by writing to a text file), and launch a mailer to the list via the mail server. After sending a single message I no longer need the list-- i.e. I can completely overwrite it next time, and someone else manages opt-outs. I would like to capture bounce info back into by application db though. My hosting company recommends Mailman. Is Mailman the right mail server software for me? Better than Majordomo and Mojomail (also available via my host on my vps)? I see the list mgmt guide, but I don't need to maintain the list at all, nor do I need to send another message to this list ever. If so, where can I find the documentation on how to create mailing lists remotely (with a web page)? Thanks to anyone who can help. --Bobby -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: archive@jab.org Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

Any idea how I correct this? > The DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN variable in /var/mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py is > set correctly (https://%s/mailman/). The link to a list on the page generated by prefix/Mailman/Cgi/listinfo.py is determined by each list's web_page_url attribute. The value of this attribute is normally set when the list is created and is based to DEFAULT_URL or DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN combined with DEFAULT_URL_HOST or DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN values at that time. Another list attribute set at the same time is it's host_name attribute which is set to DEFAULT_HOST_NAME (or DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST if DEFAULT_HOST_NAME is not defined). This is used in setting the link to the archives on the page returned by the /listinfo/ URI. Every other link works so far. Only the archive link is wrong. I just set DEFAULT_URL and DEFAULT_HOST_NAME in $prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py. DEFAULT_HOST_NAME has the same value as DEFAULT_URL_HOST. DEFAULT_URL has the value of DEFAULT_HOST_NAME with https:// in front of it (can I use %s there instead, like DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN?). That didn't help. If you want to change these list attributes for a given list then prefix/bin/withlist is your friend. The standard MM 2.1 distribution I want to have the defaults set such that I don't have to run withlist/fix_url every time I create a list. I have one host that the lists are serverd off of, and I want all the links to be https instead of http. (Everything in the MailMan web interface should be viewed from https://myserver.unboundtech.com/...) has the $prefix/bin/fix_url.py script wto be used in conjunction with prefix/bin/withlist to reset a list's web_page_url and host_name. The values to which web_page_url and host_name are set by fix_url.py depend on the then current default MM parameters set in $prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py and $prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py and the options you put on the command line when running fix_url. See the code Given that setting those two didn't fix my existing test list, I tried creating a second test list. I still have the same problem. Every link except the Archive link works. Should I interpret this as a bug, or am I still doing something wrong. I don't think I should have to manually patch every list I create just because I'm using an https server for the web interface. Looks like the URL is generated by the GetBaseArchiveURL function in $prefix/Mailman/Archive/Archiver.py which bases it on the config variable PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL. Learn something new every day. in fix_url.py for deatils; python is quite easy to read. Indeed it is, once you get past the lack of statement delimiters and the fact that indentation level determintes scope. :) Interesting... I just made a similar change and I'm hoping it's going to work. Maybe it won't *shrug* My next thought is to use Apache to rewrite the urls. It can be done, but it should be consistent in Mailman in the first place.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman 2.1 list creation
An alternative way to eliminate the handling of aliases is to move to Postfix and use the Mailman/Postfix integration. Now that is a win-win situation. You can actually mimic this integration with Sendmail if you use a cron script (or modify the new-list app to include the script commands), to run genaliases and pump the output to a local file which you then hash via newaliases: ~mailman/data/aliases ~malman/data/aliases.db After that you simply edit /etc/sendmail.cf to look at both alias files: /etc/aliases, and ~mailman/data/aliases Hope this helps someone - Jon Carnes (reformed Sendmail junkie) === On Thu, 2003-01-30 at 05:03, Richard Barrett wrote: > At 21:51 29/01/2003, Jon Carnes wrote: > >If you can get shell access to the server you can use the > >~mailman/bin/genaliases command to generate the aliases for your created > >lists.

Re: [Mailman-Users] question about reply-to munging
This isn't quite a feature of Mailman. If you wanted to hack into Mailman and make that change, then it looks like a good place to start would be: ~mailman/Mailman/MailList.py Another of the usual suspects would be: ~mailman/Mailman/Handlers/CookHeaders.py You will find most of Mailman's source code in ~mailman/Mailman and it's subdirectories. So, cd /usr/local/mailman/Mailman grep -i reply_to * grep -i reply_to */* Good Luck, and be sure to publish what you find out!

[Mailman-Users] Subscribing problems
Hi, I'm running mailman 2.0.6 and have run into an issue with subscriber members using the listinfo page. When ever it is used it give the 'we hit a bug' page. If one of the field is left blank the script excutes correctly stating that one of the fields in empty. I check the error logs and this what I found: admin(66543): File "../Mailman/Cgi/subscribe.py", line 74, in main admin(66543): File "../Mailman/Cgi/subscribe.py", line 185, in process_form admin(66543): SCRIPT_FILENAME: /usr/mailman/cgi-bin/subscribe admin(66543): SCRIPT_NAME: /mailman/subscribe admin(66543): REQUEST_URI: /mailman/subscribe/foomanchu Line 185 in subscribe.py is the mlist.AddMember(email, pw, digest, remote) All the info being entered in correct, any ideas what would cause the mlist.AddMember function to fail? Where is the mlist.AddMember function located? Any suggestions as to what to check? I don't know if this matters but I running the exact same setup on another machine but with python 2.0, the machine that is getting the error is running python 2.2.2.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman 2.1 list creation
At 21:51 29/01/2003, Jon Carnes wrote: If you can get shell access to the server you can use the ~mailman/bin/genaliases command to generate the aliases for your created lists. You could simply redirect the output of that command into a local aliases file and then include that aliases file in your MTA's list of aliases that it checks. Jon Carnes If the MTA is sendmail then there is an option of using a sendmail mailer to deliver to Mailman, if the only mail aliases on the server are the small number of standard local aliases, e.g. postmaster, and those for Mailman lists. If the machine is also hosting aliases for individual users then forget I posted this. MM 2.1 has the mm-handler contrib which is a sendmail mailer implemented in Perl. There is also a Python implementation available which I have posted as MM patch #644810 on sourceforge. Note that the Perl contrib isn't entirely bullet-proof, unless the author has recently fixed an issue I raised a while back. Using these sendmail mailers can completely eliminate maintenance of mail aliases on a list server. Create the list with MM through the web GUI and its ready to go. The downside is some hassle getting sendmail setup right and I wouldn't rate this as a job for a sendmail novice unless he is a persistent one like me. But once that is done, no alias maintenance hassle. I started out using the Perl contrib (originally with my own modifications to work with MM 2.0.13 rather than 2.1) but now use the Python version on a dedicated list server machine and its backup, which are currently hosting over 450 fairly lightly loaded lists. The list population is fairly dynamic and the use of the sendmail mailer works well for me.

[Mailman-Users] Archive configuration and graphics not appearing
Apologies for lumping two problems in to one mail, but it'll save time if I try to address both in one go. Running mailman 2.1 on apache 1.3.23 with mandrake linux 9. Firstly, my pipermail archives aren't showing up. I've configured httpd.conf to have Alias /pipermail/ "/var/lib/mailman/archives/public/" Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None (and tweaked around with the sytax of this). I've also run check_perms with -f flag with no problems. There are messages in the archive which is made public. The symlinks exist in public directory. I'm at a loss at what to do now. Also, my images aren't showing up. I'm not sure where they are in the hierarchy of mailman (I've installed prefix=/var/lib/mailman). Is it even possible to change these? Ideally I'd like to make them smaller and lump them into one graphic.

Indeed, it can be almost automagic with Postfix, though I believe RAQ3 uses sendmail by default. You could have a little script doing something like this: cat $prefix/mailman/data/aliases > /etc/aliases (where $prefix is mailman prefix, and /etc/aliases is your sendmail alias file) Maybe sendmail can even source several alias files.

Any idea how I correct this? > The DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN variable in /var/mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py is > set correctly (https://%s/mailman/). The link to a list on the page generated by prefix/Mailman/Cgi/listinfo.py is determined by each list's web_page_url attribute. The value of this attribute is normally set when the list is created and is based to DEFAULT_URL or DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN combined with DEFAULT_URL_HOST or DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN values at that time. Another list attribute set at the same time is it's host_name attribute which is set to DEFAULT_HOST_NAME (or DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST if DEFAULT_HOST_NAME is not defined). This is used in setting the link to the archives on the page returned by the /listinfo/ URI. Every other link works so far. Only the archive link is wrong. I just set DEFAULT_URL and DEFAULT_HOST_NAME in $prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py. DEFAULT_HOST_NAME has the same value as DEFAULT_URL_HOST. DEFAULT_URL has the value of DEFAULT_HOST_NAME with https:// in front of it (can I use %s there instead, like DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN?). That didn't help. If you want to change these list attributes for a given list then prefix/bin/withlist is your friend. The standard MM 2.1 distribution I want to have the defaults set such that I don't have to run withlist/fix_url every time I create a list. I have one host that the lists are serverd off of, and I want all the links to be https instead of http. (Everything in the MailMan web interface should be viewed from https://myserver.unboundtech.com/...) has the $prefix/bin/fix_url.py script wto be used in conjunction with prefix/bin/withlist to reset a list's web_page_url and host_name. The values to which web_page_url and host_name are set by fix_url.py depend on the then current default MM parameters set in $prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py and $prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py and the options you put on the command line when running fix_url. See the code Given that setting those two didn't fix my existing test list, I tried creating a second test list. I still have the same problem. Every link except the Archive link works. Should I interpret this as a bug, or am I still doing something wrong. I don't think I should have to manually patch every list I create just because I'm using an https server for the web interface. Looks like the URL is generated by the GetBaseArchiveURL function in $prefix/Mailman/Archive/Archiver.py which bases it on the config variable PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL. Learn something new every day. in fix_url.py for deatils; python is quite easy to read. Indeed it is, once you get past the lack of statement delimiters and the fact that indentation level determintes scope. :) Interesting... I just made a similar change and I'm hoping it's going to work. Maybe it won't *shrug* My next thought is to use Apache to rewrite the urls. It can be done, but it should be consistent in Mailman in the first place.
