I have checked the logs in the mailman folder but none of them are called MTA logs, would they be under another name? We are all rookies at some time on every subject. On a typical Linux installation you will find /var/log/mail or /var/log/maillog or some such which is being written to you your MTA (Sendmail for instance). Normally, this will contain a from and a to entry for every message handled by the MTA and show how it was disposed of. The pairs of messages are associated using the message id in each entry (the random'ish looking string after the date preamble on the line). You will probably need to be root user to read the MTA log file. The Mailman post and smtp logs should have message ids recorded in them which should correlate (and also the log entry time) with the MTA logs. It is tedious but sometimes the only way to get enough diagnostic detail to fix some problems.

You might then be able to track down if and where the message is being bounced. so it bounces I guess and then disables them after so many tries. I would really appreciate help with this issue.

[Mailman-Users] Internal server error
Hi, I have installed Mailman 2.1.2-6 on Debian and web interface is running strange. Sometimes it works ok, and sometimes it gives me an internal server error. In apache log there is: Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/admin or whatever mailman cgi script is run. In Mailman error log i can't find anything usefull for this problem. I saw that others had similar problems but it seems there is no some generic solution? There was talk about some GID settings.. So, what could be wrong? I also made installation on Red Hat and there it all works well.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman Question
Hi, I have posted to the [LO] [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list about the question below two times (about 1 month ago and again last Friday) and hadn't received a response. I'm getting in a time crunch to find a solution. So, if you could please provide me with any advice, I would really appreciate it. Here's the question: I would like to allow a listowner to subscribe/unsubscribe users by sending emails to Mailman. Those emails would come from the list owner's email address and contain a password if needed. I would then like to do the following actions: 1. Subscribe (not invite) the user 2. Not send a welcome message 3. Unsubscribe the user I want this email functionality so that I can integrate (un)subscribe features with a Perl user profile script that I'm developing. Could you please tell me if this functionality is possible? If so, how can I do it?

[Mailman-Users] messages stuck in /var/spool/mailman/qfiles
Hello, I am having a problem with Mailman sending out messages. It was working fine then stopped working about a week ago. I have mailman installed on an unmanaged virtual host, and did not make any changes to mailman itself. When I send a message to any one of my lists I don't get a bounce or any errors, and it of course doesn't show in the archive. The website is still up and all functions appear to be working. In the directory /var/spool/mailman/qfiles there are a large number of messages (all of them i think) (.msg and .db files). I don't know how to start and stop mailman, in my bin directory there is no mailmanctl file, but maybe that is only for older or newer versions of mailman. It is mailman 2.0.9 on redhat linux 7.3, If anyone can help please email me directly or through the list.

Re: [Mailman-Users] problems with mailman on apache2
The admin.py and listinfo.py CGI scripts use code that determines which lists are present on the system by listing the contents of the directory defined by the MM configuration variable LIST_DATA_DIR, as defined in $prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py or possibly overridden in $prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py. I guess the first thing you could check is that LIST_DATA_DIR has the you expect.

I guess the first thing you could check is that LIST_DATA_DIR has the you expect. Ah ha! That got me to the right place. My $prefix (because of the Gentoo ebuild) was /var/mailman. I always thought that was odd. Anyway, I checked in /var/mailman/lists and everything looked good. So, then I did a locate for other directories named lists and found /usr/local/mailman/lists. Apparently, someone at Gentoo thought /var/mailman was weird also. So, in a recent ebuild they moved the mailman home to /usr/local/mailman. However, it didn't copy over any lists from old installations. I'm goodtimes now.

[Mailman-Users] Sending mail question

[Mailman-Users] Sendmail Aliases Setup
Hi all, I have recently setup Mailman 2.1.2 on Redhat 8 using Sendmail. I have a problem when creating lists, there are no entries created in /etc/aliases and the aliases.db isn't updated with the current information. Following the information in the FAQ, i was able to set this up manually, but only one alias works, the main list alias using mailman post method. However, there is a problem using the mailowner and mailcmd parameters, they don't appear to be valid. My question is this: How do I set this up so when creating a list all the aliases are set up for me? Also, how can I repair my existing list setups so that -owner, -request aliases work? What are the correct parameters for these?

Re: [Mailman-Users] messages stuck in /var/spool/mailman/qfiles

Do you have digesting enabled? There was a bug in some versions of 2.0 that causes problems because of some character created by some email programs. Somehow things get messed up with the digesting, and basically nothing happens. I honestly don't recall specific details, though I did submit a bug report on it ages ago. I never did get it fixed - I just disabled digesting for the list where it happened. -Abigail -- 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
[Mailman-Users] default action on administrative requests
I sent this question a while back and had no reply. I didn't see my own message come back to me by way of the mailing list, so I presume it did not get out. I'm using Mailman 2.1.2 with Python 2.1.3 with Solaris 8. I've looked through the FAQ. I've seen a similar question on this list, but the answer was get Mailman 2.1. I now have 2.1.2, but this issue still eludes me. I have a list that gets more spam than legit email. I would like to have the Action to take on all these held messages on the admindb/listname page to have a default of discard instead of defer. This way I can quickly scan the baddies and then submit all data once I see they are all spam; no clicking on the Discard radio button. I don't want to use the Privacy Options - Sender Filters option of: Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit action is defined. to be discard. I know that the messages would come to me with the: Should messages from non-members, which are automatically discarded, be forwarded to the list moderator? but I really don't want the messages automatically coming to me; I want the member of my list to receive it if I click Accept. I've seen reference to a script that will just toss everything that is queued up for a list; I would rather not do this. Right now, I also wish this behavior for one list only, not as a default for all the lists that I have. What file do I need to change to make the default choice be discard on the administrative requests page? Pointers to documentation gratefully accepted.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Sendmail Aliases Setup
Ok, I figured out the parameters. Is there a utility that will configure my aliases file for my users when setting up lists? If not, I'll surely have to use another list manager...it pretty much makes it so i have to babysit my site users and i'd rather not do that. I was told that this is a very mature product by many others, if so, are there third party script resources available for this type of functionality? Should I put in an RFE for this?...I can't really believe that everyone is doing this manually for every list on their server.
