[Mailman-Users] looking at list archives
We are using mailman version 2.1.2.
It works good, but I have a question to the part of
Archives
The official layout of an archive page of a given list
hasn't any interface for looking for any strings in
archived emails.
I only sea the web tables of archived months/years, where
I can select by thread/subject/author/date but not
looking for something...
If i remember some archives of mailing lists, which also use
mailman, I've already seen such web sites with a further
search interface window, with which I could look for something in
archived data.
Is there a possibility to introduce such feature with tools from mailman?
Or: How ???

[Mailman-Users] Mailman 2.1.2 rpm for RH 7.3
Mailman users, I'm in the process of writing documentation geared to newbie's looking to install an all-in-one server with RH 7.3 as the base. You can find more at www.pfohlsolutions.com/projects/server/. I wanted the latest version of Mailman so I packaged the rpm to work with a standard install of RH 7.3. It should work with all 7.x version but I have not tested that yet. I've made it and the src rpm available for anyone who wants it at the site listed above. Updates include: - Works with a default RH 7.3 install (standard perquisites) - Puts httpd-mailman.conf in /etc/httpd/conf instead of conf.d - Additional documentation for integrating with Postfix and Postfix style virtual domains The document (README.POSTFIX.SM) can be found with the others in /usr/share/doc/mailman-2.1.2-2/ I've only been working on the documentation for a week so no flaming please. Suggestions and/or questions are welcome.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman and Apache suEXEC with Virtual Hosts
I searched all the archives and FAQ. Has anyone solved the problem of getting Mailman 2.1 to run in a Virtual Host with Apache 1.3 suEXEC? Would it work to create a second Name-Based VirtualHost (mailman.domain.tld) for each IP-Based Domain (www.domain.tld) with the VirtualHost User.Group specified as mailman.mailman? Does Mailman require that the directories be setgid or just require that the user.group be mailman.mailman? Does this old solution still work?

So I think it's worth writing up. (Feel free to forward this in it's entirety) On the system I administer (A Redhat 6.0 installation) we are running suEXEC so that users can safely run CGIs. However, this presents difficulties with Mailman, since its CGIs are SGID so that, in a normal environment, any user can run it. That being said, here's how to set up an installation of Mailman in an suEXEC environment: 1. Create your installation directory. I used /usr/local/apache/htdocs/mailman on my system. I have mailman in the /usr/local/apache/htdocs directory since that is root to suEXEC. 2. You'll need to create a Mailman user, then chgrp the directory to the Mailman user so that the configure script doesn't complain. Then, chmod 2755 the directory since configure also wants it to be SGID. 3. Run configure like this: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache/htdocs/mailman --with-cgi-gid=doug --with-mail-gid=your_mailservers_gid 4. Make install 5. Change ownership on the Mailman installation to the user owning it. chmod -R doug.doug /usr/local/apache/htdocs/mailman worked for me. 6. chmod u-s,g-s the contents of the cgi-bin directory so that suEXEC doesn't complain about trying to run a SUID/SGID program. 7. chmod g-w cgi-bin so that suEXEC doesn't complain about the directory being writable by others. 8. Configure the webserver(s) using Mailman with the User and Group directive to be set accordingly. 9. Proceed with the other steps in the mailman installation, but be sure that it's done in terms of the user that you set this up, NOT mailman. In fact, after configure is run, you should be able to safely delete the mailman user and his home directory, as they will not be needed anymore. If anyone has any questions or comments, I'm not on the Mailman-users list, so feel free to write me directory at dmuth at suespammers.org!

Re: [Mailman-Users] python burning 100% cpu
I don't think those errors mean too much (unless you upgraded and it hasn't finished the upgrade...) If your MTA is Postfix, be sure that you have followed all the advise in the README.POSTFIX file. Specifically make sure that local bounces are not set to a 4xx error code (which means retry and retry and retry and retry.you get the idea). Other than that, you might want to turn off archiving for the nonce and see if that helps. Some slower servers with IDE drives have a very hard time with this - especially if they don't have enough RAM. Those are the two biggest causes of CPU over-run.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman for broadcasting e-mail campaigns (?)
Hello: I'm a developer/sysadmin at a catalog retailer. My employer sends regular e-mail marketing campaigns to its clients (not a traditional mailing list, but bulk advertising mail -- strictly opt-in, btw!). They are too cheap to implement an enterprise e-mail marketing system so at the moment they are using what can accurately be described as a spammer's tool to send mass e-mail (I think its called GroupMail by Aureate or something). All bounces are handled manually by some monkey guy in the cust-serv dept. Anyway, I thought I could save some time and effort by automating some of the process and was wondering if Mailman could be used for my purposes. Currently, our most immediate requirements are: 0. one way e-mail broadcasting -- not traditional mailing lists. 1. ability to personalize e-mails (I already know mailman can do this) 2. our mailing list lives in our enterprise server (HP300 ugh!) and address lists are generated on a campaign basis, based on sales, demographics and other criteria, so I need to be able to import the address list into mailman every time we are going to mail. 3. automatic handling of bounces (I'm sure mailman does this) 4. ability to export failed addresses in order to clean our enterprise server's e-mail database. 5. customizable auto-responder for those idiots that hit reply even though the campaign says Do not reply to this message, blah blah blah... 6. Offer some sort statistics on success/failed deliveries and mailing times I would appreciate if any of you can tell me if Mailman can do these things. Thanx in advance! :) dZ. -- | DZ vs. THE WORLD... | Hating anything, everything and everyone since 1994. `- - -- - - - - -- 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] python burning 100% cpu
I think I have the problem solved. Acting on a hunch from what Jon Carns said about the postfix configuration I completely stopped postfix and restarted it. Previously I had simply done a postfix reload. Just for the benefit of anyone reading this thread in the future, I believe the setting that made the difference was in postfix/main.cf. I added localhost to the following line. # RECEIVING MAIL inet_interfaces = MY IP, localhost Some time before I rebooted I had changed this from the default to restrict postfix to listening to only a single IP instead of every IP on the system (I had forgotten that I needed localhost). The docs say Note: you need to stop/start Postfix when this parameter changes. In my haste I had missed that note and just did a reload instead of a stop/start therefore postfix was still listening on localhost and mailman worked fine until I rebooted. On the flip side I still did not see the note when I added localhost back in and again failed to do a stop/start *sigh* Clearly my fault for not reading the docs but if any developers are reading this; my recommendation would be that mailman should report a failed connection attempt to localhost as a serious problem and log it in syslog, or at the very minimum it's own logs. quietly burning 100% CPU should not be acceptable. The only reason I even noticed something was wrong at all was because I run a remote gkrellm client on my desktop for the server. Without that it probably would have been burning away for days or weeks before I happened to check top or something. It is also not clear to me why this would cause 100% CPU burn on startup since I wasn't sending anything to any lists at the time. Perhaps something was still queued ? Thanks to those who responded.

You can specify as many of the arguments as you want on the command line: you will be prompted for the missing ones. Every Mailman list has two parameters which define the default host name for outgoing email, and the default URL for all web interfaces. When you configured Mailman, certain defaults were calculated, but if you are running multiple virtual Mailman sites, then the defaults may not be appropriate for the list you are creating. You can specify the domain to create your new list in by spelling the listname like so: [EMAIL PROTECTED] where `www.mydom.ain' should be the base hostname for the URL to this virtual hosts's lists. E.g. with is setting people will view the general list overviews at http://www.mydom.ain/mailman/listinfo. Also, www.mydom.ain should be a key in the VIRTUAL_HOSTS mapping in mm_cfg.py/Defaults.py. It will be looked up to give the email hostname. If this can't be found, then www.mydom.ain will be used for both the web interface and the email interface. If you spell the list name as just `mylist', then the email hostname will be taken from DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and the url will be taken from DEFAULT_URL (as defined in your Defaults.py file or overridden by settings in mm_cfg.py). Note that listnames are forced to lowercase.

[Mailman-Users] Member count
It was suggested to me it would be nice to show the number of members on the listinfo page. Getting that number was easy - I just created this cron job: $prefix /mailman/bin/list_members listname | wc -l ../var/www/html/mmcount/listname.html The hard part was finding a way to display it on the page that both IE and Netscape would do the same way (Netscape was better on this one) Finally added this code on my list info page: Members = IFRAME src=http://www.thcwd.com/mmcount/listname.html align=middle marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 width=40 height=19 scrolling=auto frameborder=1 error /IFRAME Next to play with a message count.

[Mailman-Users] Using VERP to avoid sobig bounces?
If we turn on VERP, how is mail to the unqualified -bounces@ address processed? Is it ignored? At the moment we are frequently getting subscriptions disabled on the webdav.org lists (which don't use VERP) by stray SoBig bounces using a real subscriber as the return address and -bounces@ as the recipient. Will turning on VERP avoid this headache? Also, following the URL in the automatic your subscription has been disabled please go to this URL to confirm always results in an Invalid confirmation string message, any ideas how to fix that?

[Mailman-Users] Some posts are never received by email even though they go right into the archives
I have been using Mailman successfully for 2 years now. We are currently having a problem: Not all posts are going though. They are not being held up for any rule violations (like size, sender, etc). All the posts go directly into the archives, but MANY do not get sent out as email (but some do). I just sent a test and it came though right away, even though we are still waiting for many others posted earlier than that to go though (I am a regular list member--not an admin). Once again, I know these posts are accepted by Mailman because they are in the archives. Can anyone help?
