This is the same symptom I experienced with admindb (even though main
admin worked for me). See archived discussion from *this month*:

[Mailman-Users] Admin problems

[Jim LaSalle]

I don't think my Mailman admin html pages are working.  I can login but 
I can't defer/accept/reject/discard any of the messages. I click "submit 
all data" but I'm returned to the same page and nothing is done.

What am I doing wrong?  I've never seen a working installation of 
Mailman so I don't know how it should perform.

Thanks.

[Mailman-Users] List email pre-approval

[Steve Sterling]

With Majordomo, you could pre-approve a message to the list, say from an
otherwise unsubscribed user or to a moderated list.

I tried with my mailman, but it treats the Approved:  first line
as normal message body. Somewhere, I remember seeing that Mailman supports
such things, but can't find any documentation on syntax, etc.

Can anyone point me the right direction, or is that not a feature?

Steve

Nothing deletes a "wrong" address automatically, but if the address
bounces too often then Mailman will automatically move the address over
to "No Mail" so that it no longer sends mail to the address.

DBF format - no.  You can dump your mailing list out to a text file (one
address per line) and then use that to subscribe folks.

How many emails can your mailserver handle?

Note: Mailman is not a personal mailing list handler, it is a server
(web-based) mailing list management application that is designed for
corporate or community use.  If can easily be installed on any common
version of Unix or Linux (or Mac OS-X), but it is not really suitable
for use on a Windows based server.

Re: [Mailman-Users] qfiles commands directory? Tried to deleteoutgoing message....

[Jon Carnes]

The first thing you do is stop your mail server:
  /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail stop

Next stop Mailman from processing the queues:
  /usr/local/mailman/bin/mailmanctl stop

Now find the message.  Is it in the mailservers outbound queue?
  /var/spool/mqueue/..

There are host of commands (depending on your MTA) to tell you if a
message is in your outbound queue.  For sendmail the following works:
  sendmail -bp

You can also look at the logs for both Mailman and the MTA to see where
the message is currently in the system.

The mailman queues are in:
  /usr/local/mailman/qfiles/..

If you have stopped the Mailmanctl daemon from running then you can
delete the msg.db and msg.pck files for a message without any harm.
==

Unless you move at super-sonic speeds you are not going to intercept the
message before Mailman has processed it (unless we're talking about a
really big list or a truly ancient mail server), so more than likely you
will be dealing with the MTA on the box.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Images?

You can allow your lists to pass pictures or not, its up to you. 
Mailman can handle anything that email can handle.  By default it will
pass all sorts of attachments.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Error using postfix and mailman

[Jon Carnes]

When setup properly (using the README.POSTFIX) then /usr/sbin/postalias
(Postfix) will access the alias files as user mailman.

The files in /usr/local/mailman/data/.. should be set as:
-rw-rw-r--1 mailman  mailman  4919 Feb 11 17:08 aliases
-rw-rw-r--1 mailman  mailman 12288 Feb 11 17:08 aliases.db

Re: [Mailman-Users] Archiving doesn't work under Mac OS X 10.1

[Jon Carnes]

The function is used only once in Mailman, inside i18n.py

  year, mon, day, hh, mm, ss, wday, ydat, dst = time.strptime(date)

You could easily replace this line of code with a small block that does
the same thing but without referencing the strptime function.

In fact, looking at the code, it looks like there is already an existing
block that would do this for you... Try deleting the 4 lines of code
that I marked with an * 

if isinstance(date, StringType):
try:
*year, mon, day, hh, mm, ss, wday, ydat, dst = 
time.strptime(date)
*tzname = time.tzname[dst and 1 or 0]
*except ValueError:
*try:
wday, mon, day, hms, year = date.split()
hh, mm, ss = hms.split(':')
year = int(year)
day = int(day)
hh = int(hh)
mm = int(mm)
ss = int(ss)
except ValueError:
return date
===
If that works then you won't need the time.strptime function at all.

Good Luck - Jon 

BTW: good detective work tracing down the lack of strptime function in
Max OSX v10.1!

Change the template in ~mailman/templates/en/..

If you want to make the changes just to one list, then see the archives
(basically create a directory ~mailman/list//en/.. and copy,
then edit the template there).

The permissions of /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases are likely not correct.
They should be something like:

# ls -l aliases
-rw-rw-r--1 mailman  mailman  4.0k Feb  8 00:04 aliases

The ownership and/or permissions on /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases.db
are incorrect.  Make sure that the user or group that the CGI runs under
(typically the gid you set in --with-cgi-gid) has write permissions to
/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases.db.

[Mailman-Users] Images?

[Foster, Paul]

I am interested in a mail list where users can email images as well as text.
I did not see anywhere in the documentation is this exists.  Can mailman
support images as well as text?  If not, does anyone have any
recommendations?

Thanks.

[Mailman-Users]

[Bellin, Jennifer]

I'm editing the default html for this page: 
http://lists.atcllc.com/mailman/listinfo/csenews

When you sign up to subscribe however, there are extra html tags that get included in 
the page that override my style sheet that I've attached...

for example, by viewing the source code on the page that follows the subscription 
page, you'll see a duplicate set of   and  tags above mine. However, 
the body tag that gets inserted, is overriding my body tag and cause the background 
color to be white instead of what I intended it to be. 

How can I eliminate this extra code being imposed on my code?

[Mailman-Users] Getting those pesky addresses and URLs right

[Phil Stracchino]

After much experimentation, I've discovered that the best I can do seems
to be a situation in which the list mailto addresses and URLs are
correct if I create a list with bin/newlist, but will be wrong if
created through the web interface.

I have the following settings:

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'caerllewys.net'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.caerllewys.net'
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/mailman/'
add_virtualhost('caerllewys.net','www.caerllewys.net')
VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = 0

If I create a list with newlist, I get...

[Mailman-Users] Duplicate Issue numbers

[Tspeight]

For the second time in a month Mailman 2.1 has created a Digest with the 
same "Issue #" as the previous Digest.  We are running RH 7.3.

Has any one else had this problem?

[Mailman-Users] personalize: user_name / user_address

[Jan Kellermann]

Hi!

We need personalized mails with the real username (user_name) or - when not
available - the emailaddress (user_address). But when I use the following:

Hallo %(user_name)s %(user_address)s!

I'll get in case of no user_name:
Hallo nicht verfügbar [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is it possible that mailman writes nothing in case of no user_name?

Or better: where are these variables created so that there can be written an
either..or? Maybe in next version it were great to get a variable that is
set with the realname or - when not available - with the emailaddress.


thank you
kelly.

[Mailman-Users] Archiving doesn't work under Mac OS X 10.1

[Peter Bengtson]

Some time ago, I reported that archiving doesn't work in Mailman 2.1.1 
under Mac OS X 10.1. Every attempt to archive a message would result in 
the following entry in 'logs/error':

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'strptime'
Further research shows that the offending function, strptime, doesn't 
exist in Mac OS X 10.1 - the function isn't defined, which causes 
HAVE_STRPTIME to become undefined by ./configure. (I don't know the 
situation under 10.2.). Doing a

python
import time
time.strptime
results in an error message, saying that strptime is an unknown entity.

At first I thought this might be a bug which only showed up when 
archiving was set to something else than the distribution defaults, but 
changing or removing the date clobbering settings in mm_cfg.py didn't 
improve the situation. All archiving still seems to break.

A clean install of Python (2.2.2) doesn't improve the situation, either.

If 'strptime' is unavailable in 10.1, then all Mailman users under Mac 
OS X 10.1 wouldn't be able to archive any messages at all. Are there 
very few users on Mac OS X, or don't people generally use automatic 
archiving? I would be interested to hear from anybody who has got it to 
work under Mailman 2.x and Mac OS X 10.1.

Archiving used to work flawlessly - I have quite extensive archives 
produced by a now defunct mailing list - but in one of the later 
versions, presumable where the archiving routines were rewritten or 
updated, it stopped working.

Should Mailman assume that 'strptime' is available? Is there a 
workaround?

Any ideas or pointers most welcome.

Thanks, Jon!


I had to add the following to mm_cfg.py to make it work:

DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s:8080/mailman/'


If the %s match grabbed the port from the URL, this change wouldn't be
needed. Is there some way to implement that in newer versions? (Or is
it already done?)



See you,

[Mailman-Users] htdig patches and information leakage

[Rupa Schomaker]

One can choose to search any archive (even private ones) by
constructing the URL correctly.  If "Short" mode one can find subjects
for the private list.  In "Long" mode one can find excerpts from the
private list.  Viewing the actual message requires logging in.

It seems to me that a better solution is to use a proxy cgi-bin
program for htsearch that first checks to see if the list is private
and if so do the same auth check that the htdig does (just error if
not authened) or actually ask for login info...  If the user is
authenticated or if it is a public list, then just exec the htsearch
cgi program.

[Mailman-Users] newsletter / announce-only

[Curt Siffert]

I'm on 2.1 and I've followed all the recommended instructions on 
setting up a newsletter:
	1) all members with moderate bit
	2) all moderated members with polite reject
	3) all non-members with reject
	4) munged headers with explicit reply-to

Now I'm trying to figure out how to post but it doesn't look like 
there's an ideal solution.

1) unsetting the moderate bit for a user allows that user to mail to 
the list without intervention, which is great, BUT that user's email 
address appears in the Return-Path header in the message source.  This 
has me concerned about others forging that email address and being able 
to post to the list.  Is it possible to hide the approved senders' 
email addresses entirely?

2) I can put addresses in non-member sender filters for "Hold" but it 
would be nicer if they could also be subscribed (which are all 
hard-coded to reject).  I guess I want an option to say "Have all 
moderated members set to Reject, except for these addresses, set to 
Hold."

3) I can change everyone to "hold" but I'm worried about weighing down 
the moderator.

Any ideas?  It's so close to perfect.

Curt
