[Mailman-Users] Adding new list fails!
Hi, I am trying to add a new test list to my Mailman, but it doesn't seem to be working. I have installed mailman in /var/lib/mailman and I am using following command: $/var/lib/mailman/bin/newlist test [EMAIL PROTECTED] test123 But it failed saying Illegal list name: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since my hostname is different than my actul DNS name. I thought I need to define domain as well so I also tried this command: $/var/lib/mailman/bin/newlist [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] test123 But it again fails saying Illegal list name: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --yogesh -- 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/

[Mailman-Users] postfix says mailman list test user unknown
hi, I have two instances of Postfix (in + out) on my mail server. I also use LDAP extensilvely through its Mail and Maildrop fields. I installed and configured Mailman today. Since its for my internal users, I added one more aliases file to my outgoing instance configuration like this: alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/var/mailman/data/aliases I added the test list using Mailman's newlist command and added the lines generated by its output to the /var/mailman/data/aliases file and did postmap Now when I send a test mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Postfix server says: - Apr 11 07:44:48 ihqm001a1 postfix-out/smtp[24194]: 431EA27A: to=[EMAIL PROTECTED], relay=51.62.51.11[51.62.51.11], delay=10, status=bounced (host 51.62.51.11[51.62.51.11] said: 550 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: User unknown) - What is wrong?

[Mailman-Users] Famous GID problem

[Mailman-Users] Lists not showing up in listinfo page, (yup I read the FAQ.)
Before you flame, I've read the FAQ and noted the section on this symptom. But it hasn't addressed my problem. If you hit this URI: http://cactusairforce.org/mailman/listinfo You see all lists (including Mailman?!) but if you instead hit this one: http://www.cactusairforce.org/mailman/listinfo you only see the CAF and the Recruitment_list From the FAQ: 1. the value of the list's 'advertised' option (the first one on the page) of the Privacy Options Section of the list's admin web GUI. This isn't the problem. 2. the value of VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW in $prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py or mm_cfg.py. If this is set to true (usually 1) then you may be experiencing the effect of Mailman Virtual Host feature. In that case the address in the URL used to access listinfo is compared to the address in the list's 'web_page_url' option (the last one) of the General Options Section of the list's admin web GUI. If they are not the same, the list is not added to the listinfo page returned. If I change this value in Defaults.py (it doesn't appear in mm_cfy.py) to 0, I *can* see all of the lists, unfortunately it also displays all the lists from the other (non virtual) domain on this server. Also, I've checked in the GUI, there is no entry for 'web_page_url' there is one for 'host_name' but this is set for cactusairforce.org (in all the lists).

That is to say: Once the total membership surpasses the chunk size, it switches to the alphabet links. You could set the default chunksize to 100 and any list with 100 or less members would display all on one page. Lists with 100 would use the alphabet links which would be more useful on those lists. Or set the chunksize to 300 or whatever you like. Or set it different for each list. hth, texas critter -- EL-M FAQ: http://www.emaillist-managers.com/ -- 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/

[Mailman-Users] Mailman not respecting settings in mm_cfg.py
Hello! I've just cut over my email server to a new installation of Exim, which is running on one IP address while the old Sendmail installation runs on another IP address (same physical host). Normal mail works fine, but I need for Mailman to send its outbound mails exclusively through the new server. I changed the SMTPHOST and SMTPPORT settings in mm_cfg.py, deleted the .pyc file (which is then recreated on the next qrunner run), and still I observe that Mailman insists on using the old server. The setting for DELIVERY_MODULE is SMTPDirect in both Defaults.py and mm_cfg.py. Is there something else I need to do when updating mm_cfg.py, to get the changes to be effective? The fact that the mm_cfg.pyc file is being updated (and strings mm_cfg.pyc shows the correct values inside) suggests that the right directories are being accessed. All the web-based interfaces and archives work correctly. I'm running Mailman 2.1.4, just installed from a clean source build. Thanks!
