there a more convenient way of storing them, like an external file?
Do I just write some python code to do the job?

[Mailman-Users] Log location

2004-08-04 Thread Young, Darren
Using Mailman 2.1.5 is there a way to change the location of the log
files (bounce, error, post, etc)? I installed mailman in
/home/mailman-2.1 so the logs are currently in /home/mailman-2.1/logs,
I'd like them in /var/log/mailman instead.

Thanks in advance,

Re: [Mailman-Users] Converting Majordomo archive files to Mailman archives?

2004-08-04 Thread Richard Barrett
You can use $prefix/bin/arch to add the contents of .mbox files to the 
HTML archives of a Mailman mailing list. RUn it with the -h option for 
more information.

You could consider using the following patch to Mailman for integrating 
htdig for archive search:

http://www.openinfo.co.uk/mailman/patches/444884/index.html
and the following patch which integrates MHonArc for HTML archive page 
generation, which is compatible with the htdig integration:

http://www.openinfo.co.uk/mailman/patches/mhonarc/index.html
These patches are also available via sourceforge.

Hi --
I just moved a small, but very long lived, mailing list system from 
Majordomo to Mailman.  The basic conversion went just fine, thanks.

I have archives of the old lists going back almost ten years, and I'd 
like to import those into the Mailman archiver.  They're stored in 
what I think is standard mbox format (each message begins with a From 
 line) with each month's messages stored in a single file named 
something like list.0303 for the March, 2003 archives.

Is there a way to bring these into the Mailman archive system?
Thanks,
John
PS -- previously, these archives were processed by 
wilma/mhonarc/glimpse to make a set of full-text searchable web 
archives, but for the new system I'm thinking of just adding htdig or 
similar to the existing Mailman archives rather than trying to 
maintain a separate system.

[Mailman-Users] how long before messages sent?

2004-08-04 Thread Mike
One of my mailman lists is used as an announcement-only list. Each alert, or
announcement goes out to a different group, which is pulled from a database
query. So it would be helpful to unsubscribe everyone right after sending
out the alert, while i've got the subscribe/unsubscribe list file right
there in front of me. But if i immediately unsubscribe email addresses, is
there a chance those folks won't get the alert?

I.e. how long should i allow for Mailman (and the mail server?) to need
access to the subscription list?

Thanks

I'm going crazy trying to set up a list that is completely moderated. I

also by setting the modertation bit on all users. The problem is, when a

Hello,
I have a problem with version 2.1.4.  I would like to use dumpdb to see the
user_option flags and apparently the values have changed.  I searched the
archives and all I could find was a definition from Jon Carnes that only had
values up to 27.  I am now seeing values like 264 and 280.

Could someone provide me with current documentation of the possible flag
values?

[Mailman-Users] From address to virtual domain with Sendmail

2004-08-04 Thread Fran Boon
I am using mailman-2.1.5 on RedHat Enterprise 3 (Sendmail-8.12)
I wish to configure mailman to use an alias for access: lists.dom.ain
(This is done so that I can move the service to another machine later, 
if I so wish)
I have set DEFAULT_URL_HOST  DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST to lists.dom.ain  the 
Web interface  inbound mails all work fine.
However outgoing mails from the list appear as Sent by: 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Admin mails come From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
My guess is that this is more of a sendmail issue than a mailman issue, 
but it would be nice to know whether anyone has got this working.

To attempt to get Sendmail to change this I have added support for a 
genericstable in sendmail.mc:
FEATURE(`genericstable', `hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable.db')dnl
GENERICS_DOMAIN_FILE(`/etc/mail/generics-domains')dnl

I have re-expanded a new sendmail.cf  this shows the FEATURE ok.
I have set up entries in this file:
list-owner  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
list-bounces[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have used makemap to create the hashed db.
Testing with sendmail -bt shows that the map is working:
 /map generics [EMAIL PROTECTED]
map_lookup: generics ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) returns 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (0)
 /map generics list-owner
map_lookup: generics (list-owner) returns [EMAIL PROTECTED] (0)

However, mailman still sends out mails From: @host.dom.ain
What will mailman pass to the MTA? 'list-owner' or 
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'?

Any hints greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot,
Fran.

[Mailman-Users] Re: No notification of list creation

2004-08-04 Thread Mike Flaherty
Here are some more details...

OS = Redhat 7.3
Python = 2.2.2 (RPM)
Mailman = 2.1.5 (from souce)

When I look in $prefix/logs, all I see is a file named error and it is
empty.  I'm told there should be more files there (i.e. smtp).

In accordance with the README.SENDMAIL, I have added the symbolic link to
the mailman wrapper in the smrsh directory and HUPed sendmail.  Still no
luck.

I'm wondering if I have to consider looking at the --with-mail-gid option?
Is there any sort of debug/command line mode that I can run create with?

I am really looking forward to using Mailman so any further help would be
most appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

[Mailman-Users] reliable python 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 backport?

2004-08-04 Thread Jeff Garvas

Hi folks,

I've determined that the problems I'm having with Mailman now are related
to the fact that I have Python 2.3.2 running in Debian (woody).  Moderated
messages keep erroring into logs/error about True not being defined.

Does anyone here know of any reliable Python 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 backports
that I can use in my debian install?

I've combed the net looking for this and I have run into brick walls and 
discussion lists where someone said there is one available but never 
mentioned where.

I found something in the wee hours and installed it only to learn that 2.3.2 is just 
not cutting it.

Surely someone on this list has found one if it exists, right? :-)

I am starting to question my decision to use stable vs. unstable since
so many applications require me to break the rules to make recent
versions of applications run.

-Jeff

I´m new the list and have no experience with Mailman. I´ve installed Fedora

mail. Mailman is installed, though. So, what do I do now? I´ve tried to
create a new list via http://myserver/mailman/admin, but it asks me about a
list creator password or something like that. Where do I set it up? And
where do I tell Mailman who´s allowed to create new lists on that server?

[Mailman-Users] Empty Cc header

2004-08-04 Thread Morgan Fletcher
I recently made the upgrade* from 2.0.8 to 2.1.5. It went well. Thank you,
mailman maintainers, for a great piece of software.

Mail to our mailing lists has had empty Cc headers since the upgrade. Why
is that? It's causing some mail to be rejected by our subscribers' MTAs,
like so:


Aug  4 07:21:17 flip postfix/cleanup[8936]: C92834800B9A: reject: header Cc:
[...] Message content rejected


We're running postfix 2.0.18, mailman 2.1.5, netbsd.

I've searched the archives, but since cc is ignored by the search engine
I didn't find anything. Is this some optional feature in mailman?

Morgan

* I'd posted here previously about the trouble I had, upgrading. Adding the
  note about undoing the coerce-to-plaintext patch to UPGRADING in 2.1.5
  got me past the problem. Thanks again.

Most of the FAQs are related to mail deliverly.  This list
only sends one email a day, so that's not an issue.  Also,
all archiving is turned off, so that's not an issue either.

Spliting up the mailing list into multiple lists with an
unbrella sounds like a lot of work.  What happens when
someone wants to suubscribe or unsubscribe?  Is mailman
smart enough to know what sublist they are on and handle
it?  When someone gets added, how does Mailman know what
sublist to use, or do I have to try to re-balance the

  Does the program read in the entire mailing list everytime
  it output a web page?
 
   It loads the Python pickles, yes.

Ah, the pickles...  I'm sure this is the problem.

I'm no Python guru, but isn't there a way to keep from
reading in the entire jar (of pickles) unless you actually
need to? Maybe I need to ask the developers list instead
of this one...

[Mailman-Users] Can't confirm subscriptions

2004-08-04 Thread Mike Flaherty
Hello All,

OS = Redhat 7.3
Python = 2.2.2
Mailman = 2.0.13 (RPM) {note I tried from 2.1.5 source code first but didn't
get even this far so I backed it off}

I seem to be having very similar issues as described in...

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2000-March/004095.html

Also, while I see a list of addresses awaiting confirmation sitting in
/var/log/mailman/subscribe, I do not see them under the members link in
the admin web page (just empty).

To be clear, I am able to initiate a subscription request, however when I
try to confirm it via email as instructed by the Mailman email message I
recieve, I get nothing back at all. My sendmail log looks like this when I
try...

to=|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test1,
ctladdr=[EMAIL PROTECTED] (8/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01,
mailer=prog, pri=31016, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent

Thanks,
Mike

[Mailman-Users] Mailman not forwarding mail and another odd problem

2004-08-04 Thread Thomas Bartolucci
I'm running mailman 2.1.5 with exim 3.36 on Debian 2.4.18.  First off is 
this bad?

Two problems one, the over-arching problem mail posted to the list is 
not being forwarded to anyone.

Second, I am running two servers, my.server.com and my2.server.com.  I 
can add users to the list via the web interface all users get the 
welcome message no matter what server they are on, except the users on:

my.server.com
The users on my2.server.com and external servers all get the welcome 
just not the ones like [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What could be the problem here?

	It's hard to say.  There are a lot of issues in making an upgrade 
of this scale, and making this big a leap may cause more problems 
than it solves.  You should think hard about this before making your 
decision.

 all archiving is turned off, so that's not an issue either.
	This is why I pointed out a specific entry which had to do with

	I don't think there's any way to keep Mailman from doing this, at 
least not in any current version.  Patches are welcome.

	In the meanwhile, if you're having problems of this type, you may 
need to resort to the command-line oriented methods which are 
discussed more extensively in the archives.

[Mailman-Users] Debian Woody/Exim4/Mailman2.4.5 -- Failure to Deliver

2004-08-04 Thread Jim Clark
Resolution:
Seems that the Python version I upgraded to 2.3.3 had some bug in it
that was braking mailman.  Upgraded to Python 2.3.4 and rebooted
machine.  All items now working in perfect harmony.
 
For those trying to get the same system of Debian\Exim4\Mailman 2.4.5
feel free to drop me a line if you need assistance.
 
Best regards,
Jim Clark

Re: [Mailman-Users] Can't confirm subscriptions

2004-08-04 Thread Mike Flaherty
Problem solved!

While wating for a reply on this problem, I configured the crontabs as
described in the INSTALL file.  I then received my Welcome messages on all
of the subscribed accounts shortly after. I am also able to successfully
post to the list!

It is also important to note that my  problem also looked similar to...

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2001-February/009798.html

...which is the second occurance of this problem I found in the Mailman
archives that went unaswered.  I'm just mentioning it now so that it can be
of help to folks in the future.

Best,
Mike Flaherty

[Mailman-Users] Archive URL is incorrect

I have a mailing list set up at 
http://www.thedalzells.org/mailman/listinfo/canuck_hlp_pb. When you 
click on the archive link, it trys to take you to 
http://s0106000c41832a90.vc.shawcable.net/pipermail/canuck_hlp_pb/. 
Where is it getting that host name from?

In my mm_cfg.py file I have:
##
# Put YOUR site-specific settings below this line.
MTA = Postfix
IMAGE_LOGOS = '/icons/'
DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = 'thedalzells.org'
DEFAULT_URL = 'http://www.thedalzells.org/mailman/'
I am running on Mac OS X 10.3.4, Apache 1.3.29 and Postfix (don't know 
what version).

Re: [Mailman-Users] reliable python 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 backport?

 Hi folks,
 
 I've determined that the problems I'm having with Mailman now are
 related to the fact that I have Python 2.3.2 running in Debian
 (woody).  Moderated messages keep erroring into logs/error about
 True not being defined.
 
 Does anyone here know of any reliable Python 2.3.3 or 2.3.4
 backports that I can use in my debian install?
 
 I've combed the net looking for this and I have run into brick
 walls and discussion lists where someone said there is one
 available but never mentioned where.
 
 I found something in the wee hours and installed it only to learn
 that 2.3.2 is just not cutting it.
 
 Surely someone on this list has found one if it exists, right? :-)
 
 I am starting to question my decision to use stable vs. unstable
 since so many applications require me to break the rules to make
 recent versions of applications run.

Hi Jeff,

I'm running Woody on the server.  I've also installed Mailman 2.1.5,
with Sendmail.  My version of Python is 2.2.1-4.3.  Because I use
Sendmail rather that Exim, I couldn't get a working list server
using .deb files.  So, I installed Python using aptitude and then
installed Mailman from source in /usr/local/mailman.  It works
wonderfully.  No need to go to a Python backport.

[Mailman-Users] problem still exists w/2.3.4 Python...

2004-08-04 Thread Jeff Garvas

Here is the latest story in my saga.

I'm running Mailman 2.1.5 with Python 2.3.4

If I create a list and make a user moderated they can't post to the list.
the logs/errors file fills up with a bunch of lines, but this is at the bottom:

File /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/ListAdmin.py, line 113, in __nextid
while True:
NameError: global name 'True' is not defined

This problem seems to be documented in this closed bug:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailatid=100103aid=956734group_id=103

I just upgraded to Python 2.3.4 and this problem still exists.  If the
user trying to post to the list is moderated their submission is shunted.

Does anyone know what this might be?  Defining True = 1 at the top of 
ListAdmin.py didn't help.   (MM 2.1.5)
