[Mailman-Users] RV: IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
Hi, everybody: sorry for my bad, bad english. I am new using mailman, is a great program. But I have a question that may be you can help me. This is what my cron shows every day: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 274, in ? main() File "/var/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 249, in main lock.lock(timeout=0.5) File "/var/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 243, in lock self.__write() File "/var/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 422, in __write fp = open(self.__tmpfname, 'w') IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/mailman/locks/gate_news.lock.lists.4166.0' And when tried to gzip: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/mailman/cron/nightly_gzip", line 154, in ? main() File "/var/mailman/cron/nightly_gzip", line 140, in main compress(f) File "/var/mailman/cron/nightly_gzip", line 81, in compress outfp = gzip.open(txtfile+'.gz', 'wb', 6) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/gzip.py", line 30, in open return GzipFile(filename, mode, compresslevel) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/gzip.py", line 43, in __init__ fileobj = self.myfileobj = __builtin__.open(filename, mode or 'rb') IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/mailman/archives/private/ccenterar-l/2003-May.txt.gz' My question is if really there is a permission problem, because the mailman is working fine but this: "IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/mailman/archives/private/ccenterar-l/2003-May.txt.gz'" IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:'/var/mailman/locks/gate_news.lock.lists.4166.0' I dont' know, thanks for the help.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Excessive cpu usage
Thanks.. This episode does bring up some thoughts though. My problem was for the most part that I didn't know where to look ("ps aux | grep mail" would have made a good place to start, but that was my fault :o), and the logs didn't give me anything. Failure to contact an smtp server should perhaps be logged in mailman's logfiles, what do you think?

RE: [Mailman-Users] DNS/Sendmail issue upon install
Greetings, I noticed your List is 'test2' instead of just 'test' as most install paperwork describes... Did you correctly alias everything to 'test2' or just to 'test', which would possibly cause the problem? Additionally, did you create a user 'test2' for Mailman to deal with for the list traffic?

You either have not put the aliases (printed out when you created the list) into /etc/aliases -or- you have not run newaliases after editing the /etc/aliases file.

[Mailman-Users] DNS/Sendmail issue upon install
Greetings everyone! I am running mailman-2.0 on Redhat Linux 7.3. I have successfully installed mailman onto my server. I have sucessfully added an admin and a few users through the web interface to a test list. Unfortunately, when I try to send an email on the list, I get this: The original message was received at Thu, 29 May 2003 14:39:39 -0700 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] - The following addresses had permanent fatal errors - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (reason: 550 5.1.1 User unknown) - Transcript of session follows - 550 5.1.1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... User unknown Mailman is sending mail out to users who subscribe, but the list itself is not operational. Is there a particular default setting I should look at? Thanks!

RE: [Mailman-Users] mailman cron error
thanks for your help, I can't think of any place the port assignment would be set for an individual list can you? I guess I can try setting up a new list from scratch to see if the config files somehow were corrupt when the list was built? Any idea where to look besides that?

I once had something like this happen with a corrupt .msg file, but I tried removing all files from the qfiles directory, and the problem recurs with all new mail. This began after moving the lists to a new server, running FreeBSD 4.8 rather than 4.4, and Python 2.2.2. I have multiple Mailman installations so I can handle virtual domains (one installation per domain, allows me to have both "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"); I'm reluctant to upgrade to 2.1.2 until I figure out how the new qrunner scheme is going to work with this setup. Only one of the domains seems to have this problem; the rest are working fine. I've tried reinstalling mailman for this domain, removing lockfiles, removing queue files, removing the archives and creating a new directory, checked permissions on the directories. Any thoughts?

By default you cannot do this, because the whole message may not be displayed. Look in your mm_cfg.py file and you will see some settings that put limits on the amount of a message that is stored for review purposes. You can set this so that it displays the whole message (which you need to do if you apply the patch mentioned above). # how many bytes of a held message post should be # displayed in the admindb web page? Use a negative # number to indicate the entire message, regardless # of size (though this will slow down rendering # those pages). ADMINDB_PAGE_TEXT_LIMIT = 4096 You can edit the held messages (without using a patch or messing with the page text limit) if you have access to the command line on the server. Add the following section to your mm_cfg.py file: # Should held messages be saved on disk as Python # pickles or as plain text? The former is more # efficient since we don't need to go through the # parse/generate roundtrip each time, but the # latter might be preferred if you want to edit # the held message on disk. #HOLD_MESSAGES_AS_PICKLES = 1 HOLD_MESSAGES_AS_PICKLES = 0 The held messages will now be saved in text files and can be found in: ~mailman/data/.. Pick your favorite command line editor, edit the held-msg- file, then approve the message via the web (note the web admin will not reflect the changes you have made in the held message).
