[Mailman-Users] Welcome email
We have mailman on a dedicated server which hosts several domains. Domain owners creating a new mailman list get a welcome email that inserts the server name where you'd expect the relevant domain name Such as links to http://server.serverdomain.com/mailman/admin/newlist_userdomain.com instead of http://userdomain.com/mailman/admin/newlist_userdomain.com (which does work, but is not how it should display), and email addresses such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which does NOT work) instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Any suggestions?

Re: [Mailman-Users] 2 mailman instances with postfix
On Tue, 2004-01-20 at 04:31, Christian Schoepplein wrote: Hi! Is it possible to use 2 mailman installations with one postfix mta on a server? How do I have to configure postfix / mailman, that for example no problems ocure with equal listaliases in the 1. and 2. mailman installation. The tow mailman instances are using different domains, so maybe postfix can sort out somehow which alias should be used. Regards, Schoeppi I have multiple installs on my test machine some that use sendmail and others that use postfix, so it's no problem to have multiple Mailman installs on a system all using the same MTA - at least technically. You've nailed the administrative problem though... I don't think there is a check to see if the alias already exists. Now Postfix will give you an error to alert you of the duplicate alias, but I don't think that Mailman listens for that - so the duplicate alias would be added. Of course Postfix would sort it out by using the first match in its hash tables, so the mail would go to one of the installs. Still that isn't much help. You could simply write a script to look for duplicates between the two sites and have that kicked off by the Create List routine - or add that as an external script and send an alert to the administrators when there is a collision. You could even have the script rename the newer alias.

Mike Williams When installing (from source), pick a different base installation and a different user/group for the install to use. You do this by adding some switches the ./configure command: --prefix=dir Standard GNU configure option which changes the base directory that Mailman is installed into. By default $prefix is /usr/local/mailman. This directory must already exist, --with-username=username-or-uid Specify a different username than `mailman' to use as a default. Use this only if the username `mailman' is already in use by somebody (e.g. Mark Ailman's login name). This switch can take an integer user id or a user name. Be sure your $prefix directory is owned by this user. --with-groupname=groupname-or-gid Specify a different groupname than `mailman' to use as a default. Use this only if the groupname `mailman' is already in use. This switch can take an integer group id or a group name. Be sure your $prefix directory is group-owned by this group. Using this, you can install any number of Mailman instances on one server; all using the same local web-server and the same local mail-server.

Most limit the maximum number of recipients per message to be something like 100 or 200. If the local MTA has been modified to have a higher limit than normal, it should deal with the issue of envelope splitting if the remote MTA has a smaller limit. The flip side of having so many recipients per message is that many mail systems will flag your messages as being spam, especially larger sites like AOL. -- Brad Knowles, [EMAIL PROTECTED] They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.

[Mailman-Users] Bug in Mailman version 2.1.4
I've upgraded our installation of Mailman to 2.1.4. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Nothing obviously wrong in the error log, or the web server log. When going to a list's admin pages, I enter the list password, then get this error. Any ideas would be appreciated. Michael Bug in Mailman version 2.1.4 We're sorry, we hit a bug!

RE: [Mailman-Users] how limit traffic

Most limit the maximum number of recipients per message to be something like 100 or 200. If the local MTA has been modified to have a higher limit than normal, it should deal with the issue of envelope splitting if the remote MTA has a smaller limit. I had what I consider, if not an interesting experience, at least a learning one recently concerning Mailman's smtp_max_rcpts. Mailman 2.0.9 (I know - I'm building another server for the latest/greatest) AIX 5.1 / RS6000 (ditto) The symptoms were happening on a list with over 6,000 subscribers, followed by the same problem on a list with over 880 addresses. The message's qfiles .db file was over 50,000 bytes. Each time qrunner fired up (remember, this is still the cronned qrunner), locks would be made, and the queue held up until qrunner timed out. Either that, or qrunner was terminated because Postfix would fail with a queue file write error. Every hour and a half, the message would get 'reinjected' in the qfiles directory. I would delete the db and msg files, get the large queue mostly emptied out, but then the message would get reinjected, causing the backlog again. My temporary 'cure' was to leave the corrupt .db file in the qfiles directory. That seemed to stop that message from returning. I left the bad db file there for about a week, until the next large message/large recipient list. It started to dawn on me what the problem was, when I tried to vi the corrupt .db file, and vi gave me 'a line cannot be longer than 2048 characters.' At this point, mm_cfg.py contained the option, SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 300. If an average email address is 20 characters, and Mailman chunkifies a large group of addresses, in this case 300, that's 6000 characters. Postfix has a hard limit of 2048 characters for a line. Even dropping SMTP_MAX_RCPTS to 100 would be a borderline 2000 characters, not taking into account some addresses that are over 30 characters long. The short of it is, I dropped SMTP_MAX_RCPTS to 50 so Mailman chunkifies smaller, and the large lists no longer have a problem with corrupt .db files. As well, (without earlier stats to compare to) large messages to large recipient lists seem to zip through the queue faster. Example 1: Jan 14 15:59:03 2004 (17224) smtp for 6914 recips, completed in 1201.166 seconds (345 addresses/minute, primetime, large message, primarily 'outside' addresses) Jan 14 16:00:07 2004 (17228) post to [a list] from [a addy], size=38412, success Example 2: Jan 16 03:03:27 2004 (13054) smtp for 6915 recips, completed in 144.519 seconds (2882 addresses/minute, off prime, small message, primarily 'outside' addresses) Jan 16 03:03:27 2004 (13054) post to [a list] from [a addy], size=640, success Example 3: Jan 20 12:59:48 2004 (14466) smtp for 6915 recips, completed in 1125.579 seconds (368 addresses/minute, primetime, large message, primarily 'outside' addresses) Jan 20 12:59:48 2004 (14466) post to [a list] from [a addy], size=38481, success At least, that's my theory and I'm sticking to it. -- 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] search users on moderator bit
Hi, How could I search the users of a list based on their moderator bit. I have an announce only list with about 2000 people on it. Almost all the users are moderated, but there are about 10 or so people on the list who don't have the moderator bit set and can post. Is there a way to search on this to verify who can post? I see the regex search on the membership list page, but I don't see how this can search the extra bits? Apologies if this has been answered before, but I couldn't find it. Thanks!
