[Mailman-Users] Starting qrunner for FreeBSD
Hi, I am a newbie and running Mailman 2.1.1 on FreeBSD 4.7 / VPSv2, which works with the old technique of running qrunner every minute from cron. The INSTALL instructions give some hints on how to start the qrunner daemon at startup time (apparently the preferred mode for 2.1.x), but this seems geared to Linux. I would appreciate any hints on what the best solution for FreeBSD systems is.

[Mailman-Users] Bad Marshal?
I need some help. Im using mailman 2.1.2 on a solaris sparc 7 box. Python 2.2.2. is installed. The folloing messages apears: hangar% Traceback (most recent call last): File "/export/hangar/gp/mailman/bin/qrunner", line 270, in ? main() File "/export/hangar/gp/mailman/bin/qrunner", line 230, in main qrunner.run() File "/export/hangar/gp/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 59, in run filecnt = self._oneloop() File "/export/hangar/gp/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 88, in _oneloop msg, msgdata = self._switchboard.dequeue(filebase) File "/export/hangar/gp/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Switchboard.py", line 144, in dequeue data = self._ext_read(dbfile) File "/export/hangar/gp/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Switchboard.py", line 246, in _ext_read dict = marshal.load(fp) ValueError: bad marshal data And one of my lists is not working.

[Mailman-Users] Procmail Lockfiles before Mailman
Hello,
I have set up Procmail, so that it fiters all the incoming mails, pipes
them to spamassassin and then feeds them to the mailman wrapper.
Something like this (it's also described in the python.org FAQ):
/etc/mail/aliases:
mylist: "/usr/bin/procmail -m MAILMAN=mylist /etc/procmailrc"
/etc/procmailrc:
:0fw
| /usr/bin/spamc -myoptions
:0
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper post ${MAILMAN}
Now, check out these two:
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=all#4.23
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=all#4.15
In the first case, the procmailrc rule uses a lockfile, but in the
second case, it doesn't.
I am 90% sure that the rule:
:0
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper post ${MAILMAN}
doesn't need any procmail lockfile because wrapper knows what to do when
two or more e-mails arrive simultaneously (at exactly the same time).
Am I right ??
I am only 10% not sure because one of the FAQ examples uses a procmail
lockfile. I think it's wrong.

Given your install in /var/mailman and a normal MM 2.0.x install there should be a directory called /var/mailman/qfiles. The script in /var/mailman/scripts takes delivery of incoming messages from the MTA creates a .msg and a .db file in that directory. The qrunner subsequently takes those files and processes them, sending mail out etc. The actual qfiles directory used for enqueueing incoming messages is defined by the config variable QUEUE_DIR in $prefx/Mailman/Defaults.py or possibly (and unusually) overridden $prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py. If that directory doesn't exist then something in your install may be screwed. But looking again at your original post you say the message is getting into the archives. That says the message is passing through qfiles, being picked up by the qrunner and so you would expect there to be some trace of its progress in one of Mailman's log files. But you say the directory says $prefix/logs doesn't exist. The log file directory is defined by the config variable LOG_DIR in $prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py or possibly (and unusually) overridden $prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Messages being labeled as spam
At 20:17 23/06/2003, Jaswinder S. Hayre wrote: Guys, We are using Mailman to send messages to a little more than 6000 members but we are realizing a problem. The messages which are delivered by Mailman have no specific address in the To: field. They do have a specific address in the To: header, that of the list to which the post was directed. But instead it contains something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] Some spam filters label mail delivered in this fashion as being spam. This prevents our message from actually reaching the end user even though we have an "opt-in" system. A questionable practice. In much normal email the destination on the mail wrapper and the To: header value of a piece of mail are not the same. Indeed I would suggest that any spam detector is broken that applies the test that the destination on the mail wrapper must be the same as the value of the To: header. Why does Mailman do this? Because it is entirely normal. And is there a way to have the To: field be the actual address that the message is being delivered to? If you are prepared to take the performance hit and you are running MM 2.1.x then you can do the following: 1. Assign a 'true' value to the MM configuration variable OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION in $prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py 2. run $prefix/bin/mailmanctl restart 3. Go to the Non-digest options page of any of your lists and for the option "Should Mailman personalize each non-digest delivery?" select the "Full personalization" radio button. Then click the "Submit your changes" button. 4. Then sit back and watch the load rise on your outgoing MTA. It is worth reading the details of this Non-digest option as with it set up this way, Mailman will pass outgoing mail as a new message to the outgoing for each list member.
