[Mailman-Users] Problems with OpenBSD and Mailman 2.1.3

2003-12-10 Thread Klaus Bestvater
Hello All,

I recently discovered a problem with my installation of Mailman.
Everything is running fine as long as nobody tries to post some kind of 
attachement.
The mail with the Attachement causes the Runner Prozess to crash.

I have a fairly up2date OpenBSD and the newest version of mailman from 
the ports.
I have found some more posts regarding this problem but no answers.
Has anybody any Idea why Python is not allowed to chmod the attachement 
to 02775?
Can there anything be done or should I archiving of attachements to get 
arround this problem?

Every hint in this direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thx a lot
Klaus B.
beyond is the log dump

Cheers Jon

Got the backup, ran check_db, all OK, and I'm back up and running.

Lesson: back up your config.pck files regularly and you'll avoid
nightmares. Thankfully my weekly backup happened the night before the
crash (indeed I wonder if the backup was copying that file while mailman
tried to read from it, and that's what caused the crash lol)

So now I have a script that checks each day and makes me a backup of the
file, as well as doing MHonArc on my archive if it has changed.

[Mailman-Users] Admin functions don't.

2003-12-10 Thread Chris Johnson
 I'm running RH7.3, Mailman 2.1-8.  I've looked at the bug list
but haven't found anything like this.  

 Posts are held for various reasons, in my case size issues, too
big.  I go to the Web interface at 

 http://host/mailman/admindb/listname

for any list.  None of the actions, i.e. Defer, Accept, Reject or
Discard, seem to work.  There are no errors given.  When I Submit All
the same status page comes back in its original form.  The held
messages are still there and never have any action applied as far as I 
can tell.  

Are there any bugs relating to this?  If not can any body tell me
what I'm doing wrong?  Help would be greatly appreciated as there is a
increasing held backlog I can't free up.  Thank you.

They fixed the index.htm but most other files are not renamed to

I'm not sure but that may be breaking the mirrowing.

There is also an issue over file name length.

[Mailman-Users] Footer in Mailman

2003-12-10 Thread sharmap
hi,

I'm kind of new in using mailman.
I'm setting op mainman to be used as a mail distribution (forwarding)
system..
Like [EMAIL PROTECTED] should be sent to 3 emails ad xyz company.
So everybody can post to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Works fine..
But each email has an footer containing information to go to archives..
and kind of everybody could than read all archives on this private
system..

So Wat i wnat is that email posted by non-members should not include the
archive and mailman info footer

Is that possible to be configured this way...

Regards,

Sharma

[Mailman-Users] Mailing List Question

2003-12-10 Thread Rolfe Lindberg
All,

I'm very new to using mailman. I run a community-type website (similar
to Classmates.com) and had been using yahoo mail for my weekly
newsletter.

I'm trying to use mailman (my web host has it in cpanel) to send an
email to about 1700 people. When I test using a mailing list to 5
users, mailman works fine; however, when I load the entire 1700 person
list, the email does not get sent.

Is there a setting in mailman that I need to adjust?

Thanks in advance.

The other odd thing about this is that I can update lists created with pre

OK, here's a wild guess, since no one else has jumped in.

Are you (or whomever is hosting your lists) doing any sort of
redirection with Apache?  That can cause this sort of problem since
the POST data from the form doesn't get redirected.  This is often
caused when trying to redirect things to run over HTTPS, though your
URL indicates plain HTTP.

You might want to look at the HTML source for the admindb page and see
where the form action points and then verify that there is no apache
redirection coming into play for that URL.

But like I said, this is just a guess.

You might also want to see if updating to the latest version of
mailman helps.  If you're using an rpm for 2.1, then you must have
rebuilt it from someplace since Red Hat never shipped 2.1 for RH7.3.

That 2.1-8 for the rpm version and release looks like the revision of
the rpm that was shipped with RH9, which, if you notice in the
archives of this list, was rather broken (to put it mildly, it'd be
more accurate to say that there was a crack party at RH QA the day
they let that one out the door).

There is an updated rpm for RH9 (2.1.1-4) that you could rebuild and
try or you could grab the 2.1.3 tarball and install that the old
fashioned, ./configure && make install way.

[Mailman-Users] Stripped Subject

2003-12-10 Thread Paulo R Kappke
Hello All,

Something very weird is happening with my Mailman. When someone sends an 
e-mail to a mailing list and put a long subject, 60 or 70 characters, 
the e-mail is being received with the prefix ("[list-name]") only.

Looks like Mailman is stripping the subject.

I am running Mailman version 2.1.1 in a RedHat 9 box.

I am looking for some possible fix.

Thank you,
Paulo Kappke

[Mailman-Users] Web interface and different DNS name

2003-12-10 Thread Scott C. Villinski
I noticed that if I change the DNS name that I use to access the Web 
interface of my server, the available lists listing also changes.  How 
can I configure the server so that no matter what DNS/IP address I use, 
I always see the same lists?  I looked at: 
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.029.htp and 
ran the fix_url.py script - but it doesn't seem to fix the issue.

Thanks!

Scott

This excerpt from $prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py might be helpful:

# When set to Yes, the listinfo and admin overviews of lists on
# the machine will be confined to only those lists whose
# web_page_url configuration option host is included within the
# URL by which the page is visited - only those "on the virtual

[Mailman-Users] Member addresses in v2.1

2003-12-10 Thread dpetersen55
In my Mailman 2.0 install, a user can be subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and have the 
actual message come from [EMAIL PROTECTED] with no problem.  The message doesn't get 
held as a non-member post as long as the top level domain is correct. 

  However, in 2.1 it seems to require an exact match, only if they are subscribed as 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] can they post from that address.  Is there a way to have it behave 
as it did before, where a user can be subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and be able to 
post from any subdomains?

[Mailman-Users] Looking for the reverse of a "ban list"

2003-12-10 Thread Scott C. Villinski
I'd like to configure a set of domain names that are allowed to 
subscribe to lists.  It could be the equivalent of a Ban list with some 
domain names as exceptions.  Or just an "Allow List".  Any thoughts?  I 
saw in the archives the messages about allow lists for sending messages 
- but I don't think this will help me.

Thanks,

Scott

[Mailman-Users] One last piece

2003-12-10 Thread Scott C. Villinski
I swear that I'm learning and searching.  I'm new to python - so forgive 
me.  I've played with listinfo.py and seen that any changes I make will 
update the cgi-bin directory upon restart.  What if I want to add my own 
 .py script?  I created on in: Mailman/Cgi, but it wasn't compiled and 
copied over to cgi-bin.  I know the script works because I took the 
roster.py and just renamed it (to at least have a working base).  Do I 
need to modify some file so that mailman knows to compile my new script?

Thanks

[Mailman-Users] Looking for advice on setting up a newsletter list

Hi there.  I'm looking to setup a newsletter type of list.  It will be one
way only.  There doesn't seem to be an explicit option for this on the admin

that true?  
 
Any other suggestions regarding setting up such a list re things like hiding
the list from other users, etc would be appreciated.

[Mailman-Users] redundant applications at different sites

2003-12-10 Thread hermit
I couldn't find this info with google or in the archives. Probably my search 
terms are different than that used on the list.

I have a working copy of Mailman running.  For one list only, I want to have a 
redundant copy in another country.  Archives are not a factor since they are 
already maintained by other means.  I will use equal mx records for both 
sites.  Is there any thing other than the list directory that needs to be 
rsynced over?

Thanks

Well, since you have such a wonderful attitude, I'm sure many of us
are now happy to donate our time to helping you.

I'll be nicer than I really ought to be and tell you to check out
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN (which was just mentioned on this list yesterday
in reference to someone running a webserver on a non-default port).  If
it's not obvious from seeing its use in Defaults.py, the list archives
should help.

And, like Brad said, "please don't top post" and "please trim
quotations appropriately."  To that, I might add, "please read the
archives a bit to see if what you are asking about has already been
answered already."

[Mailman-Users] attachment stripper-relinker

2003-12-10 Thread = Michael Aivaliotis =
I don't know if someone has implemented this before. I want to have any
attachments posted emails, stripped from the email, before they are posted
to the group. Attachments would go to a designated directory on my server.
In place of the attachments there will be a hyperlink pointing to the
location of the attachment on the server. Is this possible or am I just
dreaming?

Have you checked out the FAQ section, "3.11. How do I create a
newsletter/announcement/one-way list?"

  http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.011.htp

It makes a few suggestions for trying to simplify things for end users
on an announcement list.
