RE: [Mailman-Users] HTDIG patches! Arghh!

2003-06-04 Thread Adam Lipson
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?

Regards,
Adam

I'm also wondering why these patches are not integrated into the main tree.

Mailman without search capabilites loses much of its functionality, especially since 
thereis no easy mechanism for integrating and automating it with something else, like 
htdig
patches.

Pls. Richard, try to continue.

[Mailman-Users] -request address not working

2003-06-04 Thread Drew Hawn
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] Mass Removal Options

2003-06-04 Thread System Administrator
I am sorry if this has already been answered - the searchable archive is down.

Is there anyway to: 1) download my current member list to a text file or something 
similar? or 2) perform a mass removal based on wildcards?

Basically, what I am trying to do is removal all members from my list in one or two 
actions.  I do not own the box that mailman is on, so I am merely a list/site admin.

Thanks-
Steve

[Mailman-Users] re: cron

2003-06-04 Thread help

I'm a newbie, so please don't flame me.
Two queries:

1. What should my crontab look like? What jobs should it be running and
how often?

2. My lists are (nominally) working, but when I send a message out, it
gets stopped to wait for moderator approval. But, when I go into the
administrative interface and click on tend to moderator tasks, there's
no messages waiting for approval. How do I resolve this?

Please respond directly.

Thanks.

[Mailman-Users] Firewall/Posting Issue on RH7 and Exim

2003-06-04 Thread Michael Arena
Hello all,

I want to add posts from inside my firewall, no posts will be coming from
outside the firewall. How would I make a posting to the list internally?
Would it be the same procedure as if the address was from outside the
firewall (setup account, subscribe/send posts to it)? Is there a web
interface to add posts to the lists?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give,
Mike

Is there a way when subscribers sends an attachement, to remove the attachement from

There is a script at least in my /var/mailman/bin called find_user just type in the

They are for me too; while we don't have a lot of lists, one of the 
major points that was brought up by the users here is that the software 
has to have searchable archives, and these patches were one of the 
reasons I chose Mailman over any other package (very little work to get 
a full install with the htdig interaction running).  Had I seen a mail 
asking about how many people use the patches I would've certainly 
raised a hand.

I've said it before (recently) and I'll say it again - these patches 
should
be integrated into the main Mailman tree.  They are That Good.
I'll second (or by now third or fourth) this motion as well.  I'm not 
sure of the reason why they're not included, but considering your 
excellent work in keeping up with the patches I haven't seen it as a 
problem.  If you're moving away from them, this will be a problem 
(unless I don't find any need to upgrade the system until someone else 
picks up the torch).

Thank you, Richard, for maintaining them as long as you have.
Definitely.

Now, is there any way we can talk you into continuing?  :)
...if you can keep your sanity in the process.  I know what it's like 
when you just want to get away from something you wrote before (google 
for megahal eggdrop... I still can't escape that one, and haven't 
even been on IRC in over 4 years :P)  I can understand if you want to 
walk away from the patches because you're just tired of maintaining 
them, just know that there are a lot of people who love them and use 
them, so don't throw in the towel because you think they're not 
appreciated.

[Mailman-Users] Wishlist and maybe problem solution

2003-06-04 Thread Gerfried Fuchs
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

RE: [Mailman-Users] HTDIG patches! Arghh!

2003-06-04 Thread Adam Lipson
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.

 out how to use them with the RPM and unfortunately can't find an
 answer.  Can someone point me to a URL for this?

Get the source rpm for mailman, install that, edit the spec file - add
the patch to the header section and patch it in in the %prep section.
Modify the release number or maybe the name (if you don't want any
autoupdater to wreck things for you). Rebuild the rpm.

Be aware that there are problems with the mailman rpm build process
which increase the risks of it trashing things on an upgrade.  If you
have a non-rpm install do not move to an rpm install unless you *really*
know what you are doing and check all the paths and uids.

All users please note that MM 2.1.3 is the last version of MM for which I
shall be publishing revisions of the #444884 patch. I will make one last
effort to publish a generic version of the htdig integration patch which
provides a framework for integrating other search engiones. Then I give up.
Life is too short to continue pushing this particular rope uphill.
Ai!  No!  Say it isn't so!
These patches are critical for me.  Sigh.
They are for me too; while we don't have a lot of lists, one of the major 
points that was brought up by the users here is that the software has to 
have searchable archives, and these patches were one of the reasons I 
chose Mailman over any other package (very little work to get a full 
install with the htdig interaction running).  Had I seen a mail asking 
about how many people use the patches I would've certainly raised a hand.

I've said it before (recently) and I'll say it again - these patches should
be integrated into the main Mailman tree.  They are That Good.
I'll second (or by now third or fourth) this motion as well.  I'm not sure 
of the reason why they're not included, but considering your excellent 
work in keeping up with the patches I haven't seen it as a problem.  If 
you're moving away from them, this will be a problem (unless I don't find 
any need to upgrade the system until someone else picks up the torch).

Thank you, Richard, for maintaining them as long as you have.
Definitely.

Now, is there any way we can talk you into continuing?  :)
...if you can keep your sanity in the process.  I know what it's like when 
you just want to get away from something you wrote before (google for 
megahal eggdrop... I still can't escape that one, and haven't even been 
on IRC in over 4 years :P)  I can understand if you want to walk away from 
the patches because you're just tired of maintaining them, just know that 
there are a lot of people who love them and use them, so don't throw in 
the towel because you think they're not appreciated.
Thanks for the kind words guys.

I've recovered from the fit of intense irritation that led to my post.

I'll keep maintaining the htdig integration patch through to the next major 
MM (3.0??) release and then review. Hopefully, by then, either my patch 
will be in a fit state for incorporation into the main MM source (further 
work will follow to achieve that end) or the MM developers will have added 
a viable alternative into the main MM source.

[Mailman-Users] Duplicate footers...

2003-06-04 Thread Patrick Duncan
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?

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...
 Btw., I do love mailman, did I mention that already?

[Mailman-Users] help with shunting problems - scrubber?

2003-06-04 Thread Tobias Eigen
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. 

Redhat Linux 7.2 (plesk 5 system hosted at Rackspace)
Version 2.1.2
./configure --with-python=/usr/bin/python2.1 --with-mail-gid=mailman --with-cgi-
gid=48
mhonarc external archiver

The error log errors are below. 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.

Cheers,

Tobias

Check your mail aliases.

[Mailman-Users] digest message count

Hi,

I am seeing some mail lists handled by mailman with a message count in the
subject line accompanying the digest message.  My digest mailings do not have
these details.  How do I add them?

Here is an example of the subject:
listname digest, Vol 1 #2186 - 13 msgs

Hi all, 

Further to the shunting problem I was describing previously, below is what 
newly appears in my mailbox.. this relates to the digest.mbox file affected by 
the other shunting problem surely. 

Is there a problem with the scrubber? My intuition tells me this is where it 
is, but I'm having alot of trouble troubleshooting it. 

I'd be grateful for any ideas to help get this problem resolved soon. 

Best wishes, 

Tobias

Chipping in my two quantaloos as well, thank you for the creation and
maintenence of this.  I only signed up here recently, and the cause of
that effect was the powers-that-be wanting a search interface for the
dozen or so lists that are in use.  The patching and configuration
were all-but painless, and it's working like a charm.

[Mailman-Users] Topic filtering

2003-06-04 Thread Shad Young
Hey all,

I'm new to this list and to Mailman in general. I have read the support
for topic filtering is included with 2.1 and was wondering where I could
find docs that describe its use. I have been over all the guides on the
site and searched Google, but have not had a great deal of success.

Any pointers to where this information can be found would be greatly
appreciated.

I am at a bit of a lost I have about 30 list on one box, but something
just happened that has me totally confused. I added another list
recently and all of the sudden when the password reminders went out for
this new list it included all the members from another list. Hard a heck
to explain. But all the members of the devotional list got password
reminders for the cnclist to which they do not belong??? Would love to
solve this before months end.

[Mailman-Users] does arch interpret mbox files or read themlitteraly?

2003-06-04 Thread Adam Lipson
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?

TIA,
Adam

Hi,

try this patch.

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. 

Redhat Linux 7.2 (plesk 5 system hosted at Rackspace)
Version 2.1.2
./configure --with-python=/usr/bin/python2.1 --with-mail-gid=mailman --with-cgi-
gid=48
mhonarc external archiver
The error log errors are below. 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.

Cheers,

Tobias

[Mailman-Users] Help with mailpasswds error in CRON job

2003-06-04 Thread NW7US
I have not had any reply to this.  I have searched the online archives of this 
list, and found nothing helpful.

If someone could point me in the direction of an answer, I would appreciate it:

I am tring to resolve the following error.  I cannot seem to find where I have 
an error.  The Defaults.py file has the DEFAULT_HOST and variations set to 
hfradio.org - so why is host_name causing an error?  All other functions seem to 
work correctly (I do have several lists on two domains).  It is only this 
function, mailing out the passwords, that gives an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Hmm.

What is your language related settings ?
You are advised to use latin charset though your list's
default language is english by adding entry in mm_cfg.py.
(see Defaults.py)
You can send me the offending message for inspection.

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.

2003-06-04 Thread Tokio Kikuchi
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.

If it doesn't work, I can't help you.

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.

TIA,
Adam

 Yes, that's exactly what it's about, right.

 The purpose of this behaviour is presumably to alert the end user to

 Between the envelope-from (Sender-Header) and the From: header.

 This behaviour cannot be controlled by Mailman because it is the
 programmed into the MUA's GUI code.

 Of course it can, because the Sender-Header must not be the -bounces
address like I said, it can be the usual mailing-list address instead.
The »Return-Path« header is the only one that must be set to the
-bounces address, to not loose the bounce-handling of mailman.

 Thanks for your input, though. I guess I'll have to dig myself.

 Thanks for your input, though. I guess I'll have to dig myself.

If you want to try making your suggested change then (for MM 2.1.2) look to 
line 342 of Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py in function bulkdeliver() and 
change:

msg['Sender'] = envsender

to read:

msg['Sender'] = mlist.GetListEmail()

Do not forget that indentation is syntactically significant in Python!

This change should lead to the SMTP envelope having the bounce alias on it 
while the Sender is just the list alias. Do not blame me if inappropriate 
stuff starts getting posted to the list because of the change and do let us 
know how you get on with the change.

 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).

 Yes, that's exactly what it's about, right.

 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.
 Between the envelope-from (Sender-Header) and the From: header.

 This behaviour cannot be controlled by Mailman because it is the
 programmed into the MUA's GUI code.
 Of course it can, because the Sender-Header must not be the -bounces
address like I said, it can be the usual mailing-list address instead.
The »Return-Path« header is the only one that must be set to the
-bounces address, to not loose the bounce-handling of mailman.

A general enquiry to Mailman experts.

I've tried the patch I suggested above on my test system and it doesn't 
appear to break anything.

MTA's such as Outlook show From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] which removes the objected to -bounces suffix 
in the displayed From field.

Bounce processing works OK

What are the objections to this revision of the Sender header? Is it just 
the risk of a geriatric MTA returning mail to the Sender address, and hence 
sending to the list with unpleasant consequences, when it should be 
returning to the SMTP envelope sender?

Thought or comments please

[Mailman-Users] Update: Help with mailpasswds error in CRON job

2003-06-04 Thread NW7US
Jim Tittsler provided some help with a bit of code that allowed me to produce 
the following:

 Running hostname.hostname()...
 Loading list rlogbeta (unlocked)
 hfradio.org
 Loading list pdadev (unlocked)
 seasystems.accessnow.com
 Loading list jcarc_oh (unlocked)
 hfradio.org
 Loading list jcarc_repeater (unlocked)

 Loading list jcarc_fieldday (unlocked)

 Loading list jcarc_chat (unlocked)

 Loading list aaa0wa-list (unlocked)
 wa.mars.hfradio.org
 Finalizing

So, it seems that the script in ~/mailman/bin can see the host_name - but, when 
I am in ~/mailman/cron, the mailpasswd script cannot.  When I run mailpasswd 
with just one list:

 mailpasswds -l rlogbeta

I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ./mailpasswds, line 218, in ?
main()
  File ./mailpasswds, line 210, in main
msg.send(sitelist, **{'errorsto': sitebounce,
  File /home/mailman/Mailman/Message.py, line 221, in send
self['Message-ID'] = Utils.unique_message_id(mlist)
  File /home/mailman/Mailman/Utils.py, line 634, in unique_message_id
msgid = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' % (
  File /home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py, line 130, in __getattr__
raise AttributeError, name
AttributeError: host_name

which is the same error the CRON gets.

I don't see any problem - all lists have a valid host name.

So, what could be causing this?  Any ideas?
