RE: [Mailman-Users] HTDIG patches! Arghh!
I do have to say thank you for writing and maintaining the patches as I am trying to figure out how to integrate Mailman with HTdig as we speak. The problem I have run into is that I can't find documentation on how install the patch with the RPM version of mailman. I have searched thru the archives on gmane.org and google groups to figure out how to use them with the RPM and unfortunately can't find an answer. Can someone point me to a URL for this? Also, another topic, but when one BCC's the list why don't the footers appear on the bottom of the email? I am against BCCing a list, but someone did and it appeared as if the footer was not there. Is this a known issue or is something in my config wrong?

[Mailman-Users] -request address not working
This is a basic question, I apologize, but the searchable archives don't seem to be working and I've spent quite some time doing google searches and looking through the archives. I really would appreciate some help, or a pointer in the right direction. I have recently installed mailman and am having problems with the -request address. I am using Postfix and have the following aliases entered: listname: |/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper post listname listname-admin: |/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner listname listname-request: |/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd listname listname-owner: listname-admin I have also changed the main.cf config file in Postfix to allow mail_to_commands and mail_to_files I have reloaded Postfix and sent a newaliases command. When messages to go the listname-request address, the mail is sent to the list owner and the requestor receives nothing. -- 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: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

I am sorry if this has already been answered - the searchable archive is down.

[Mailman-Users] Wishlist and maybe problem solution
Hi! Mailman is great, mailman is good, all hail mailman :) I have to administer a mailing list for which a special requirement was requested: It will be a moderated list where only special people might be able to send mails through. All these mails should have the same From: header, so I thought using the »anonymous_list« might be a good idea -- but I don't see any chance to specify what mailman will put in there. It simply always puts [EMAIL PROTECTED] in there, which is someone we would like to change. Is there a posibility to make this configureable in future versions? I guess this could be quite helpful for others, too. Along the same lines, might it be possible to have an option to rewrite the To: header, too? It should become a more or less hidden setup here, so that could be of help. There is one thing that I like to question: The envelope-sender is set to the -bounce address. From my understanding it must be sufficient to set the Return-Path header to the -bounce address for it to work correctly. The reason why I question this is that there are some mail servers/clients (especially lotus notes) that display something like this: |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or something along these lines, I was just told about the german string that is in between). This doesn't look quite nice and is afaik not needed, for the only header used for bounce messages must be return-path anyway. If these things aren't that easy to change (I would be pleased if someone can send me a patch over, for I'm not that well in python (or rather baaad)), can someone tell me if there is a way to tweak sendmail to change this? I guess I shouldn't be the first to be faced with this problem, so some might already have found a solution for this in sendmail on their own. Otherwise I'd have to use a private mailing-skript in the meantime that allows me to set the headers on my own, and set just the return-path to the -bounce address to get into the benefit of the bounce control mailman does. It's just these special requirements in this case... Btw., I do love mailman, did I mention that already? alfie -- 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: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

RE: [Mailman-Users] HTDIG patches! Arghh!
Thanks for the reply. I tried to install from the source and somehow just kept on screwing up the install so the RPM worked and I used it. Redoing it now would be a real pain. I can definitely appreciate that installing from source is the best way to install it just was not working for me. If you have a great suggestion as to how to reinstall this easily I am all ears, but I guess otherwise will wait for the next rpm to upgrade and suffer thru that upgrade process. as per the bcc I guess it is just a quirk of my install. I had to approve the post, but then the footers did not appear. Oh well, there are worse things in life.

Be aware that there are problems with the mailman rpm build process which increase the risks of it trashing things on an upgrade.

[Mailman-Users] Duplicate footers...
I have setup mailman for my company and our clients to use as a round-robin forum for environmental consulting. I am having a problem with the footer though. We put a disclaimer at the bottom of every e-mail and the reply address back to the group so everyone is included in all discussion and we can archive all correspondence, now after the initial post and reply we start to get multiple footer on the posts. Any suggestion on a work around?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Wishlist and maybe problem solution
At 16:25 03/06/2003, Gerfried Fuchs wrote: Hi! Mailman is great, mailman is good, all hail mailman :) I have to administer a mailing list for which a special requirement was requested: It will be a moderated list where only special people might be able to send mails through. All these mails should have the same From: header, so I thought using the »anonymous_list« might be a good idea -- but I don't see any chance to specify what mailman will put in there. It simply always puts [EMAIL PROTECTED] in there, which is someone we would like to change. Is there a posibility to make this configureable in future versions? I guess this could be quite helpful for others, too. Along the same lines, might it be possible to have an option to rewrite the To: header, too? It should become a more or less hidden setup here, so that could be of help. There is one thing that I like to question: The envelope-sender is set to the -bounce address. From my understanding it must be sufficient to set the Return-Path header to the -bounce address for it to work correctly. The reason why I question this is that there are some mail servers/clients (especially lotus notes) that display something like this: |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or something along these lines, I was just told about the german string that is in between). This doesn't look quite nice and is afaik not needed, for the only header used for bounce messages must be return-path anyway. I think you will also find some versions of MS Outlook display this conflation of several headers in the From field of their GUI (see http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq02.003.htp). The purpose of this behaviour is presumably to alert the end user to the possibility of something nefarious because of the (entirely valid) discrepancy between different headers on a message. This behaviour cannot be controlled by Mailman because it is the programmed into the MUA's GUI code. Fiddling with Mailman will not, I fear, fix programmed behaviour of some MUAs in any reliable way. If these things aren't that easy to change (I would be pleased if someone can send me a patch over, for I'm not that well in python (or rather baaad)), can someone tell me if there is a way to tweak sendmail to change this? I guess I shouldn't be the first to be faced with this problem, so some might already have found a solution for this in sendmail on their own. Otherwise I'd have to use a private mailing-skript in the meantime that allows me to set the headers on my own, and set just the return-path to the -bounce address to get into the benefit of the bounce control mailman does. It's just these special requirements in this case...

[Mailman-Users] help with shunting problems - scrubber?
Hi all, (I sent through a message yesterday asking for help with archives not being updated for a week. I managed to get these updates happening - thanks. I am presuming it was a qrunner issue relating to an autoreply war on one of my lists.) I'm having a serious problem with some mail being shunted for reasons that don't make sense to me. Lists are generally working very well.

The first error message happens ALOT, and when it does happen, it seems to break the list so all messages get shunted. To make the list work again, I have to remove the digest.mbox file from the list directory. Any thoughts? This is causing me major problems with one of my lists in particular - it hasn't been reported anywhere else yet.

[Mailman-Users] does arch interpret mbox files or read themlitteraly?
When I run arch I get a different format than I do from pine or elm IE does arch interpret the mbox file and post the messages in the archive as formatted text or does it just litteraly look for the divisions of the messages and post the messages into the archive? The reason I ask is I have been struggling to convert 4000+ messages from outlook, outlook express, eudora, mozilla you name it to an mbox (and this I can do easily) and then import that mbox into the archives or move the messages via IMAP. My unix mail programs read the mbox easily and the messages appear properly formatted, but when arch parses them and posts them on the web page everything looks like html encoded text ie font = soemthing size= somethign text here /font /size or something to that effect. is there a flag that I am missing? I can't find it anywhere ./arch -h tells me to just give the filename and man arch just tells me about my system architecture. Is there something I have done wrong?

Tobias, The shunted messages which you sent caused no error on my installation. Try putting following statement in your mm_cfg.py and restart mailman. add_language('en', _('English'), 'iso-8859-1') You should 1. restart mailmanctl 2. delete digest.mbox 3. unshunt in this order.

Re: [Mailman-Users] help with shunting problems - scrubber?
Tobias, It is bad idea to copy the Defaults.py to mm_cfg.py then edit the latter. The former may change when updating your version. You can get my i18n-related patch from http://mm.tkikuchi.net/mailman-2.1.2+patch.20030429 in mailman-2.1.2 dir, type $ patch -p0 path/to/this_patch then, configure, make install and restart.

Re: [Mailman-Users] does arch interpret mbox files or readthem litteraly?
At 00:17 04/06/2003, Adam Lipson wrote: When I run arch I get a different format than I do from pine or elm IE does arch interpret the mbox file and post the messages in the archive as formatted text or does it just litteraly look for the divisions of the messages and post the messages into the archive? The reason I ask is I have been struggling to convert 4000+ messages from outlook, outlook express, eudora, mozilla you name it to an mbox (and this I can do easily) and then import that mbox into the archives or move the messages via IMAP. My unix mail programs read the mbox easily and the messages appear properly formatted, but when arch parses them and posts them on the web page everything looks like html encoded text ie Talking MM 2.1.2 but same principle in MM 2.0.x, just some of the detail varies. Assuming you have the normal default config variable of ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX = 2 set then Mailman will append a verbatim copy of each post to a list to that list's mbox archive (in $prefix/archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox) and generate an HTML version of the post (in a subdirectory of $prefix/archives/private/listname). If you have a bunch of historical stuff in mbox format then prepend it to the list's mbox archive before running $prefix/bin/arch with the --wipe option to generate the initial HTML archives, including the historical stuff. The HTML archive pages are constructed using a template for which the English language default is $prefix/templates/en/article.html The raw email content (as appended to the mbox file) is massaged by MM's internal archiver to give an HTML page and this massaging discards most of the headers and may alos extract attachments and such. You cannot fully reconstruct the raw email from the Mailman HTML archive version of an email; that is why it is default of ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX = 2 to have both mbox and HTML archives retained. font = soemthing size= somethign text here /font /size or something to that effect. is there a flag that I am missing? I can't find it anywhere ./arch -h tells me to just give the filename and man arch just tells me about my system architecture. Is there something I have done wrong? There isn't a man page for MM's arch script; you are seeing the man page for the system's arch command. $prefix/bin/arch wants a list name and a UNIX mailbox file to work off and it constructs/reconstructs the list's HTML archives. If you do not nominate the mbox file then arch looks for the lists' mbox archive file in the default location described above. Is something missing? Depends on what you are you looking for.
