Re: [Mailman-Users] Get mails from external POP3 accounts
Quoting Håkon Strandenes [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have a Linux server running Mailman, Postfix and Fetchmail. I'm running this at home for a small sailing club, with approximately 10 messages/day. The problem is that I have dynamic IP, and only a no-ip.com basic account. But the sailing club is so lucky that they have a domain, a web/mailserver and unlimited number of pop3 accounts. So my question is: How can I set up mailman/postfix to get mails form another, external pop3 account via fetchmail? I've already made the pop3 accounts, like [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc. But how do I configure fetchmail, postfix and mailman? If I understand you correctly, you want to be able to post to the list outside of your environment (at home). You want fetchmail to collect 'outside' posts and send them to the list? If so, then create external POP3 accounts, but in the virtusertable (or similar) make sure the entries are something like this [EMAIL PROTECTED]yourlistname-request Do this for all the entries required (post, admin, bounces, confirm, join, leave, onwer, subscribe, unsubscribe etc). Then in your fetchmail script, instead of dumping mail to a local account, do this user yourlistname-request with pass password is yourlistname-request The last bit corresponds to the entry in your aliases table. So instead of dumping the mail into a local account, it passes it through the aliases table just like normal port 25 mail would do. I hope this all makes sense and if any of the more experienced guys (like BradK) know of a better or cleaner way to do this, please shout. -- Regards Hilton -- 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/

It does make a difference, because otherwise you'd have the wrong messages going to the wrong mailing lists. Is it any other tricks I have to know about? You also have to have your ISP give you some sort of way of distinguishing between the various different addresses that get delivered to your account. Otherwise, all those messages are going to come in and look like they are delivered to you, and you won't know what to do with them. I think this issue is pretty well explained in the fetchmail documentation. -- 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.

Original Message Subject: Re: Mailman and Postfix question From: Yogesh Subhash Talekar [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, May 6, 2004 2:11 pm To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mailman Installation and Configuration Howto: 1. Make sure that all software required to run mailman is already installed (python etc) 2. Remove old mailman with: #rpm e mailman 3. Remove the directory: # rm rf /var/lib/mailman 4. Again create empty directory mailman: #mkdir /var/lib/mailman 5. Make sure that a user mailman and group mailman exists 6. Set permissions of /var/lib/mailman with setgid: #chown mailman.mailman /var/lib/mailman # chmod a+rx ,g+ws /var/lib/mailman 7. Create /var/mailman to hold mailman archives, list configs, etc: # mkdir /var/mailman ; chgrp mailman /var/mailman # chmod a+rx,g+ws /var/mailman 8. Configure and build mailman as user mailman: # su - mailman $ tar zxf /tmp/mailman-2.1.x.tgz; cd mailman-2.1.x $ ./configure --prefix=/var/lib/mailman --with-var-prefix=/var/mailman --with-cgi-gid=nogroup $ make install 9. As root do following: Create a file /etc/httpd/mailman.conf with following contents: ScriptAlias /mailman/ /var/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/ Alias /archives/ /var/mailman/archives/public/ Alias /pipermail/ /var/mailman/archives/public/ Directory /var/mailman/archives Options +FollowSymLinks /Directory 10. And the add following line to the bottom of the file suse_include.conf (or httpd.conf): Include /etc/httpd/mailman.conf 11. Also copy the mailmans icons to Apache: cp /var/lib/mailman/icons/* /srv/www/icons/ 12. Setup crontab file required for mailman: # cat ~mailman/cron/crontab.in | sed -e 's# /# mailman /#' /etc/cron.d/mailman # chmod 600 /etc/cron.d/mailman 13. If required add following mailman aliases to /etc/aliases and then run newliases command: mailman: root mailman-owner: mailman 14. Add a site-wide list mailman with command: /var/lib/mailman/bin/newlist mailman And also give one email ID for administrator 15. Add entry for /var/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl daemon in /etc/rc.d/ and /etc/rc3.d/ so that the daemon start when machine boots 16. Set the mailman password (e.g. to mydomain321): # /var/lib/mailman/bin/mmsitepass mydomain321 17. Add the mailman alias map to postfix-out, so edit /etc/postfix-out/main.cf and add hash:/var/mailman/data/aliases to the alias_maps line and run 'postfix reload' (Remove anyother hash map labeled as mailman if the corresponding file does not exist) 18. Set the mailman delivery scripts to be executable: # chmod +x /var/lib/mailman/scripts/* 19. Change following line in /var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py as follows: DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mydomainmail.com' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = '57.193.32.72' Install and configure Apache: 1. Check weather its is already installed with rpm qa | grep apache 2. # mkdir /var/log/httpd 3. # chown nobody.nobody /var/log/httpd/ 4. Start apache using # /etc/rc.d/apache start 5. Creating a new list: 1. Run /var/lib/mailman/bin/newlist and answer prompts accordingly. If your are adding a new list named [EMAIL PROTECTED], it will output following lines on the screen: test: |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post test test-admin: |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin test test-bounces: |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces test test-confirm: |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm test test-join: |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join test test-leave: |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave test test-owner: |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner test test-request: |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request test test-subscribe: |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe test test-unsubscribe: |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe test 2. Login as user mailman (important) and Add these lines to /var/mailman/data/aliases and then run $ /usr/sbin/postalias /var/mailman/data/aliases 3. Edit the file /var/mailman/data/sitelist.cfg to suit your requirements. You can also save it as mailman-list.cfg to have configuration of mailman list or save it as any-other-list.cfg to save configuration specific to that list. 4. Then you can configure the this new list called mailman using: /var/lib/mailman/bin/config_list -i /var/mailman/data/sitelist.cfg mailman 5. Syntax is:/path/to/config_list -i /var/mailman/data/any-other-list.cfg listname 6. Changes for working with Postfix: 1. Add following two lines to main.cf owner_request_special = no unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 2. Add this to the bottom of the $prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py file: MTA = 'Postfix' 3. Look at the Defaults.py file for the variables POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD and POSTFIX_MAP_CMD command. Make sure these point to your postalias and postmap programs
Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman Admin URLs wrong
you can change that mydomain.com to linuxbox.mydomain.com like this: Login as user mailman (or use su - mailman): % python -i bin/withlist -l mylist Loading list mylist (locked) m.web_page_url 'http://mydomain.com/broken-path/' m.web_page_url = 'http://linuxbox.mydomain.com/mailman/' m.Save() ^D That's it! --yogesh I have a home network with a windows server plus a linux box as a postfix mail server. The linux box is also my firewall / router so it gets my static IP and an inside IP as the gateway (192.168.1.1). Mailman is running and I created a list. I can go to http://linuxbox.mydomain.com/mailman/admin/mylistname and the list admin page comes up, and lets me log in with my password. But all of the links in the admin page point to http://mydomain.com/mailman, etc... not http://linuxbox.mydomain.com.I made the destinction in DNS so that I could have my linux web server at http://linuxbox.mydomain.com because I have a windows web server running on just the http://mydomain.com.

RE: [Mailman-Users] Change user settings through command line
Jim,
Thankyou, the code you have put forward makes sense and is what I
wanted. After making a few small mods, it's now doing what I want. I
have also found some other good examples of 'withlist' usage which
helped.
One further question though :), the permissions on most of Mailman's
files on the system in /var/mailman are owned by root with gid of
mailman, mask 0744. My question is, if I do not want to run my scripts
as root, is it fine for me to modify the permissions on these files, or
is this likely to cause unexpected results for the web front end/system
python scripts? Even if I add users to the mailman group, they are
unlikely to have full access to the mailman databases etc.
Thanks Regards
Geoff

You can do this sort of thing with 'withlist'.
$ bin/withlist -l -i mylist
m.setDeliveryStatus('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', MailList.MemberAdaptor.BYADMIN)
m.Save()
{ctrl-D}
If this is the sort of thing you are going to do often, you should
create a little Python script to remember the messy bits and
save some
typing. You could create a file called nomail.py containing:
from Mailman.Errors import NotAMemberError
from Mailman.MemberAdaptor import BYADMIN
def nomail(m, addr):
try:
m.setDeliveryStatus(addr, BYADMIN)
m.Save()
except NotAMemberError:
print 'No address matched:', addr
Then to disable someone, do (either explicitly or with a script or
alias):
$ bin/withlist -l -r nomail mylist [EMAIL PROTECTED]

First let me tell you my configuration: Xserve G4 10.3 Server Mailman 2.1.2 (os x package-part of the server) Everything is up to date - all patches and updates What the people who want the list setup want is to have every post be moderated, no matter what. I figured out how to do this simply enough. They also want the moderator to receive emails whenever a post is submitted so that they can approve it asap. I set a password different from the admin password for the moderator, and supplied a moderator in the moderator field. I turned on Should the list moderators get immediate notice of new requests, as well as daily notices about collected ones to Yes, and to my understanding, the moderator should get messages whenever I send a message to the list. The posts are being send to the moderation que and await moderation, but the moderator never gets an email saying there are requests waiting. Is there something I'm missing, a bug in this version, or something else? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If the 'make install' had executed correctly you should not have had to copy over/install any files by hand. MM 2.1.4 does not normally execute a file called $prefix/cron/qrunner and not from its normal crontab. If cron is trying to execute a qrunner scr8pt it is probably the old Mailman installation's crontab that is so doing. Did you check that this had been removed before you installed the new MM 2.1.4 crontab? Did you install the MM 2.1.4 crontab? The syntax error you reported originally could come about if: 1. your old MM crontab was not removed 2. you copied a copy of the MM 2.1.4 qrunner into $prefix/cron/ 3. your old MM crontab referenced an older python installation still on your system and not the Python 2.3.3 you have installed 4. as a result, an entry in the old MM crontab tried to execute the (daemon) qrunner used by MM 2.1.4 with an old version of python which saw a feature used in the new code as being a syntax error thanxs steffan. Hello did a new install of mailman 2.1.4 now cron gives this error File /home/mailman/cron/qrunner, line 96 print fd, _(__doc__) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax any idees what version of python are you running? the README says MM 2.1.x normally operates its qrunners as daemons, unlike MM 2.0.x which used a cron executed qrunner. You appear to have a cron based qrunner yet say you are running a newly installed MM 2.1.4. Did you install this over an earlier MM 2.0.x install and if so did you remove the old crontab before installing the one for the newer release? -- 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 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] Question?
I'm so very sorry to trouble you but I'm unable to figure out something on our Mailman 2.1.4 list server. I'm not a technical person, and I've tried my best to find the information within the help and docs, but I'm just stumped. Sometimes, when a posting goes out over a list, recipients see the following ... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Rick Sipes Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2004 10:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [owners] Blah Blah Blah ... What I'm talking about is instead of seeing it from me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for example, some, but not all of the recipients see it coming from [EMAIL PROTECTED] . I have bounce processing turned off for the list. The messages do get delivered, and other than confusion, it is working. I love the software. We run it on a Red Hat Linux box for our small campus here in Memphis. It has about 135 lists on it. Anyway, thanks for any help you can point me toward!!!

Re: [Mailman-Users] Get mails from external POP3 accounts
Quoting Håkon Strandenes [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have a Linux server running Mailman, Postfix and Fetchmail. I'm running this at home for a small sailing club, with approximately 10 messages/day. The problem is that I have dynamic IP, and only a no-ip.com basic account. But the sailing club is so lucky that they have a domain, a web/mailserver and unlimited number of pop3 accounts. So my question is: How can I set up mailman/postfix to get mails form another, external pop3 account via fetchmail? I've already made the pop3 accounts, like [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc. But how do I configure fetchmail, postfix and mailman? If I understand you correctly, you want to be able to post to the list outside of your environment (at home). You want fetchmail to collect 'outside' posts and send them to the list? If so, then create external POP3 accounts, but in the virtusertable (or similar) make sure the entries are something like this [EMAIL PROTECTED]yourlistname-request Do this for all the entries required (post, admin, bounces, confirm, join, leave, onwer, subscribe, unsubscribe etc). Then in your fetchmail script, instead of dumping mail to a local account, do this user yourlistname-request with pass password is yourlistname-request The last bit corresponds to the entry in your aliases table. So instead of dumping the mail into a local account, it passes it through the aliases table just like normal port 25 mail would do. I hope this all makes sense and if any of the more experienced guys (like BradK) know of a better or cleaner way to do this, please shout. -- Regards Hilton -- 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] True anonymous list?
Hello list, We have been using Mailman 2.0.13 for quite some time, but never with the intention of creating a genuinely anonymous mailing list. Now, we have a reason to do so, but I have been unable to completely hide the originator (poster's) email address from the headers of the sent mail. Obviously, anyone knowing how to read the headers will find the address of the poster. So, is there a way to make a list anonymous even at this level? Any help appreciated. For completeness, I believe I have followed the FAQ's and help and set explicit-reply to and hide posters address etc. correctly... Maybe not?

[Mailman-Users] Advice for upgrading Mailman
Hi, I'm just after some advice and/or experiences from people here. I run mailman-2.0.13-3 on Red Hat 8, I know it's old which is why I'm asking for this upgrade path. I run several lists with archives. I have many Fedora Core 1 machines in production and they have installed mailman-2.1.4-1 but don't run any lists. I also have an Alpha machine running Debian (Woody) with mailman 2.0.11 installed on it. So my questions are: * should I look at upgrading to FC1's mailman or Debian (Alpha)? * if going to to FC1, what do I have to do to perform this? Note here that I'm keeping the RH8 mailserver (call it host1) but would like to move the lists, members and archives to FC1 (host2) and still have everything work. The reason I bring up the Alpha is that it's a powerful server which currently does nothing, I was thinking of serving Web pages or FTP site or something but then thought why not just move the mailman stuff to it. Any ideas, suggestions or comments are most welcome. I've never had to migrate mailman in the past so I'm not sure where to start exactly.
