[Mailman-Users] Multiple Domains

2004-05-28 Thread Bob Escher
I have been trying to set up mailman on my new linux box to no avail.
The main concern that I have or need is to have several mailing lists
but I need them under different domain names. I have tried adding these
additional domains under mm-cfg.py and I must be doing something wrong.

Is there someone out there that can send me specific examples of what I need
to do

I am running mailman 2.1.5 and xmail
I would really appreciate it to see examaples rather then the FAQ I tried
doing what it suggested
and I end up with all of my list under one domain.
So a copy and a paste then I can understand it.
Also there was a post somewhere about specific install instructions if
you could repost it again Brad Thank you


Thank you everyone for all the help
Bob Escher

I found some directions for an older version of Mailman (2.0.9) while 
I was trawling Google for something else. It's a bit specific for the 
Cobalt RaQ servers, but it might give you something to start with. I 
was going to try and tackle it with 2.1.5, but just don't have the 
time right now.

http://www.cobaltfaqs.com/doc/wiki.pl?MailmanRaQ4

If you can use it and make it work with a newer version, I'd love to 
see your final steps... or maybe you could even update my wiki 
page... :)

[Mailman-Users] verifications lost

2004-05-28 Thread Kelsey Forsythe
First, after adding myself to a mailman group an hour later the 
verification message appeared.

I then added another email account I have and while the mail.log file 
indicates it was accepted for delivery I never received it .  I have 
sent mail to this account to verify it does receive mail.

Below find the two delivery notifications from the mail.log file.
I think I can change the cron execution to take care of the delay.  
Where is the cron file for MailMan?

As to the second mail,  I don't understand why I did not receive it.  
The delay is different for the two
mails.  What does 'delay' mean?

Re: [Mailman-Users] verifications lost

2004-05-28 Thread Richard Barrett
You need to check the Mailman's logs to see evidence of messages being 
handled. The information in Mailman's logs should tie in with the 
inbound and outbound MTA log(s) to give a fuller picture of events in 
the life of each message.

Assuming you are running MM 2.1.x (you do not mention what version you 
are running) you can also check to see if there are any messages stuck 
in subdirectories of the MM qfiles directory and you can verify that 
the MM daemons are running using the command ps -aef | grep qrunner

[Mailman-Users] Upgrade from 2.0.11 to 2.1.5

2004-05-28 Thread Young, Darren
I'm in the middle of planning an upgrade of our mailman installation and
was looking for some pointers. The current version is 2.0.11 and I'm
planning on going to the current 2.1.5. I'm actually moving the
installation from an older desktop system to a newer server at which
time I want to upgrade to the newer version. The target machine is a
RedHat Enterprise 3.0 AS server with everything up2date(d). Stock RH
sendmail. All this machine is doing is listmail.
 
First question on the move of machines, should I a) rsync everything
over to the new server and just go or b) install from scratch on the new
server. Any advice here would be great. What about the old lists? Simply
copy the lists/* directory over? I tried the fresh install on the new
server then copied over lists/* to the new machine (and /etc/aliases)
and all seems to be ok so far.
 
Next, on the upgrade. Same basic questions, should I a) upgrade the
previous version on disk or b) start from scratch and somehow import the
lists over?
 
Anyone who's done this type of upgrade, advice and pointers would be
much appreciated.
 
Thanks,

[Mailman-Users] Re: Upgrade from 2.0.11 to 2.1.5

2004-05-28 Thread Bruce Timberlake
 I'm in the middle of planning an upgrade of our mailman
 installation and was looking for some pointers. The current version
 is 2.0.11 and I'm planning on going to the current 2.1.5. I'm
 actually moving the installation from an older desktop system to a
 newer server 

I just did a 2.0.3 to 2.1.5 same-server upgrade last night. It seemed 
to go fairly smoothly - I did a clean install and then copied lists/* 
and archives/* to the new directories. I'm always leery of 
upgrades-in-place... some sort of cruft always seems to get left 
behind.

I made sure to shut down the old mailman and sendmail, kill all 
processes, and flush the old queue.

The main gotcha that took me a while to figure out (it was *early* in 
the morning by the time I did this!) was the extra lines that needed 
to be added for each list to virtusertable (the server is running 
Sendmail) - the 2.0.x versions seemed to have fewer addresses per 
list. Without some of the new entries - like listname-bounces - no 
outbound mail was being processed. Got stuck for a while on thinking 
smrsh and the mailman wrapper was the problem... 

The server had about 55 lists on it; rather than type out all the 
virtusertable entries by hand, I wrote an ugly little Perl script to 
read through a file containing the list names and spit out another 
file containing all the virtusertable entries. Here it is - maybe it 
will save you some time!

- - - - -

#!/usr/bin/perl

# Script to generate virtusertable entries
# for Mailman 2.1.5
#
# (c) 2004 by Bruce Timberlake bruce at brtnet dot org
# 
# create all-lists.txt with
#
#bin/list_lists -b  all-lists.txt

$listfile = all-lists.txt;
$virtfile = virt-file.txt;
$hostname = [EMAIL PROTECTED];

open INPUT,  $listfile or die Can't open $listfile: $!\n;
open OUTPUT, $virtfile or die Can't open $virtfile: $!\n;

while (INPUT) {
chomp;
print OUTPUT ## List: $_\n;
print OUTPUT $_$hostname\t$_\n;
print OUTPUT $_-admin$hostname\t$_-admin\n;
print OUTPUT $_-bounces$hostname\t$_-bounces\n;
print OUTPUT $_-confirm$hostname\t$_-confirm\n;
print OUTPUT $_-join$hostname\t$_-join\n;
print OUTPUT $_-leave$hostname\t$_-leave\n;
print OUTPUT $_-owner$hostname\t$_-owner\n;
print OUTPUT $_-request$hostname\t$_-request\n;
print OUTPUT $_-subscribe$hostname\t$_-subscribe\n;
print OUTPUT $_-unsubscribe$hostname\t$_-unsubscribe\n;
print OUTPUT \n;
}
close OUTPUT;
close INPUT;

- - - - -

I told you it was ugly! :)  But it was about 3 am when I did it, so... 
I generated the all-lists.txt file by using bin/list_lists -b in 
the new Mailman install after I copied the lists etc. across. Then I 
opened virtusertable in vi, manually deleted the old entries for the 
2.0.3 install and imported virt-file.txt. A quick makemap, restarting 
sendmail and Mailman, and all was well.

Since you're switching machines, you'll need to deal with a DNS 
changeover, and maybe editing mm_cfg.py to change the hostname etc. 
Or are you going to use the old domain name on the new server, so 
that the list address domain stays the same? I didn't have to deal 
with that, so I can't comment.

I have RedHat 9 running mailman rpm 2.1.1-5 with python 2.2.2-26. I have
several lists one has 12 addresses, the others have about 500. I have
mailman configured for 100 recipients per message. When I send to the
smaller list the messages are always delivered but if I were to send the
exact same message to the larger list some receive it but most don't. I
get this error message in my mailman smtp log:

Keep the old name, the name that's attached to the new box is for the

I don't have the answer to your question
but do you have these list separated
into different domains?
If so I would like to ask how you did it

[Mailman-Users] Installation Assistance

2004-05-28 Thread John Wright
Hey folks. I have been trying to install Mailman on a Linux box for a long
while now and I am not getting anywhere.

Like I said, it's a Linux server running Apache 2 and all of the lastest
software installs.

Could anyone recommend someone trustworthy to help install this on my
server? I retain full admin SSH rights and setting up a temp SSH account
won't be a problem. I might even offer some free web hosting to whoever
can help.

Anyway, I'd appreciate any help you kind folks could offer.
