That seems to be a message from postfix, the MTA, which is
disconnecting because to many recipient users do not exist any more. I
never used postfix myself, so I can't say any more to that.

The only thing that makes sense is to clean up the subscriber
databases. If one does not like to do that, one will have to
reconfigure postfix.

[Mailman-Users] Can Moderator change subject line?

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

From: Prodos (Melbourne, Australia)

Good evening!

I have been using YahooGroups for my lists.

YahooGroups lists allow the moderator to alter the subject line
before sending a post through to the list.

Does Mailman allow this?

Thanks for any assistance.

I realize this, but I would have thought postfix could handle this; it

I understand this, and I'm a huge supporter of Mailman, but the dude 
reckons that majordomo is "better" because it can handle lots of 
invalid users.  I'm sure this is a problem that's fixable.

The MTA used locally is postfix.  I've tried tweaking various things

it, such as disabling the guy's super paranoid anti-spam stuff [which

Reconfigure postfix, how exactly?  I tried increasing the number of 
rcpt errors (forget exactly what I tried; this was months ago) allowed 
to a stupidly high value, but the error is apparently still occurring.

I told him to clean the subscriber lists, but again, see majordomo 
point above :-(

I do not grok Postfix but reducing the value of the Mailman config

benefit. I think you can come down to a few tens from 500 for this

Ah, I'll try this.  I'm assuming, by this logic, that postfix is 
probably seeing too many invalid rcpt's from the one smtp connection 
and as a result, gives this error.

Does mailman handle delivery different to a local MTA, rather than 
remote machines?  I'm curious, because many people's spam filtering 
would limit the amount of RCPTS allowed these days to a value much 
lower than 500, right?

If that stops the Postfix disconnect then MM's bounce handler is 
capable of cleaning the list of subscribers that cannot be reached if 
the bounce parameters for the list are not too far off base.
Ah, so the mailman bounce handler only works if the MTA actually gives 
a real error (i.e. "user does not exist"), rather than just screaming 
that there's too many rcpt errors?

Probably explains why it wasn't working, then.  I knew mailman had 
bounce handling, was wondering why it wasn't working.

(Am I on the right track with the above logic, BTW?)

Uh, replace 'postfix' above with 'mailman'.  See the other email I just

is there any documented common way of using the *_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER
options?
Apart from the fact that the value has to be a shell command, I was not
able to get any information about their usage.
Does mailman give the message on stdin to the shell command, or is this
command intended to use the mbox mailman also archives to or how should
the external archiver get the message?

seems like this option defines whether mailman archives only to
pipermail or mbox, both or none of these. The mbox file is stored at
$ARCHIVE_PATH/private/mylist.mbox/mylist.mbox, is this correct?

[Mailman-Users] Problem with news gateway

[info]

I've had a look through the archives and other documentation and can't find a solution 
to this.

I've set up the maillist <-> news gateway and it claims to have caught up with the old 
messages, but no messages turn up and it doesn't find new ones. It looks as if I need 
to specify the logon for the news server. There isn't anywhere to do this, though and 
I can't find the configuration files - one posting talks of *.pf config files that 
contain the news set up.

Is there a debug option that can be set? I am setting up the maillist on a linux host 
to which I only have cpanel access. I had hoped to see the config files in my 
directory, but there is no sign of anything - where might they be hiding?

[Mailman-Users] A very basic question

[Agrevet]

Hi,

I am just familiarizing myself with Mailman since our unprotected list 
accounts are so easily infected with worms lately.  I see how to set up a list, and 
have successfully done so.

Here is my question:  Does Mailman ONLY work for lists?  Is there any way to 
configure individual email aliases in Mailman (the point being that the 
aliases would have the same kind of protection as the list aliases)?  The only other 
option I know of to a basic email alias feature is to create a POP account.  
I am just wondering if there is any way to treat an email alias for one 
person, which could be mailed to anyone (not always the same list), in Mailman?  
Does this make sense?

Thank you,

You have to have root access to the server to access Mailman files and the
config files, they're stored in a separate folder that you can't access if
you only have cpanel user access.  The Mailman config files are settings
for the entire server, not just by user.

[Mailman-Users] Manual archive digester? Unique problem?

[Sam Lewit]

I run a website and mailing lists that uses Mailman. Our website is 
protected for members only. The ML archives are also flagged as private 
(this is a club... highly paranoid).

I want to put the archives onto the private website, but here's the 
problem. This version of Mailman is installed by the host and I DO NOT have 
access to any configurations or even the archives themselves. The location 
of the data files are "jailed off" to us in the shell.

My thoughts are to manually download the monthly archives in its "raw" 
form, run it through something that will digest it into useable form 
(threaded, searchable perhaps?), and put that on the website every month. 
Anyway know of anything like that?

My only other alternative would be to somehow link to the Mailman archives 
on this website, but we're trying to avoid members from first having to log 
into the website, then having to log into the archives.

Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated. I searched the FAQS and 
archives. I found "archive digesters", but my understanding is that I'd 
have to tweak the configuration of Mailman and again I have no access to 
the inner configuration.

Thanks
Sam

Reading the comments in $prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py will probably tell 
you but if you want the fine detail recursively grep for the strings in

[Mailman-Users] A few questions:

[Jim Swift]

I am exploring the features of Mailman 2.1.3 because of a problem I've
run into with my Lyris 4.2.  

For some years I have been running the "< 200 subscribers" version of
Lyris 4.2, as a free community list service, but have just run into
the 50 list limit and I need to move some of those lists, possibly to
an available Mailman server. 

But I have a few questions about Mailman that I have been unable to
answer from the documenation I've been able to find. 

1. One of my regular tasks is to look at the delivery logs for the
messagea that are sent to the lsits. In Mailman, is it possible to get
delivery reports for each message sent to a list.

2. The welcome message is only partly configurable for the list. How
can I change the "tech" part of the welcome message.

3. I use quite a few action phrases in Lyris, and can send a message
to the author if a message is blocked because of an action. Is it
possible to send a message to a user whenever content filters are
invoked in Mailman. 

Many thanks

It looks like the problem is in MailCommandHandler.py, which tries to 
split the header without making sure it exists first.  The attached 
patch seems to fix the problem.  Is the developers list more appropriate 
for this message?  Is the project even accepting patches for 2.0.13 
anymore?  I can't find the equivalent code in the latest version from 
CVS, so perhaps this is a 2.0.13-only problem (or else I don't know 
where to look).

[Mailman-Users] "unsupported format character" error on Japanese text in autoresponse_postings_text

[Myk Melez]

One of the lists I host on a mailman 2.0.13 installation fields 
discussions in Japanese.  The value of autoresponse_postings_text is in 
a Japanese character set (ISO-2022-JP I believe) which, when parsed as 
if it was ASCII or ISO-8859-1, contains the string "%a".

When qrunner tries to autorespond to a posting on that list, it fails to 
handle it and logs the following error in the error log:

Apr 09 16:56:17 2004 (24333) Delivery exception: unsupported format 
character 'a' (0x61)
Apr 09 16:56:17 2004 (24333) Traceback (innermost last):
 File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/HandlerAPI.py", line 82, in 
do_pipeline
   func(mlist, msg, msgdata)
 File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Replybot.py", line 78, in process
   text = mlist.autoresponse_postings_text % d
ValueError: unsupported format character 'a' (0x61)

What can be done to fix this?

[Mailman-Users] Can't find the mailman logs

[Tom Trebisky]

OK, I just fired up mailman on my system yesterday and began
hosting an experimental list.

(This is mailman-2.1.4 running on a Red Hat Fedora system).

One question I have yet to answer is, that when I look at
/var/mailman/logs - the directory is empty.  Do I need to
do something special to be getting mailman logs in here?
(or does this just mean everything is running smoothly??)

Akkk, forget it -- I just found the logs in
/var/logs/mailman (a lucky typo) -- never mind.

but I will leave this post in case it is helpful to
somebody else since I have been baffled for most of
a day ...

Re: [Mailman-Users] Not all mail getting delivered

try increasing that to 30, or 50, or whatever.
Hmm, sure I tried that.  I'll try again, though, thanks.

(and this question really should have been posted on a postfix list if 
posted at all)
Well, arguable.  What if the MTA I'm sending to wasn't my own; most 
administrators won't change something like this in their mail config.  
This is something that has to be handled properly by Mailman, and it 
seems by the previous email, it can be.

IMHO Mailman needs to understand an error such as "too many RCPT 
errors", and on its own, try sending mail in smaller batches.

Again, majordomo handled lots of invalid email addresses fine, but I'm 
assuming this is because it sends one email per subscribed address.

[Mailman-Users] Can Moderator change subject line and content?

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

From: Prodos (Melbourne, Australia)

Good afternoon!

In a recent post I wrote:

After searching the Mailman-Developers list I found this item by "anser"

Title: [ 644129 ] Edit held message header/body  @

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=644129&group_id=103&atid=300103

Excerpt:

 Summary: Edit held message header/body
 Here is my preliminary (brute force) patch to allow
 full editing of headers and bodies of messages being
 held for approval in Mailman 2.1 (as of beta 5) 

Unfortunately, being a total newbie to all this stuff, I haven't got a clue
how to apply this variation. Hopefully, I'll learn before the millennium is up.

In the meantime, I'd like to ask if anyone on this list has used the
above patch and if so, how have you found it to work?

Also, could someone tell me what does a "brute force" patch mean?

Thanks for any assistance!

=]:-)

Best Wishes,

PRODOS
