[Mailman-Users] howto disable signature check for rpms
Hi there. I am running Fedora core 3 and have the following problems. 1.Fedora checks the signatures and MDsums of any rpm I install? How do I stop it from doing this. 2. I am looking for cedaga or any emulator that will allow me to run games like halflife, quake and if possible EA games on linux. _ For super low premiums, click here http://www.dialdirect.co.za/quote -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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] Messages aren't delivered
Hi all, I've ran into a weird issue... I guess it all boils down to me being a total newbie when it comes to Mailman (in that case I apologize for the noise), but I feel completely lost at the moment. The problem is that I don't get any output at all from my Mailman installation. No list messages, no administrative messages, no error messages, no log entries, nothing! I've created a list, added myself as a member and tried to send a few messages to the list. The messages seem to arrive at the correct destination, and a new file is created in the qfiles directory each time a message is sent to the list. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I'm running Mailman 2.1.5 under OpenBSD 3.6, with exim 4.41 as my MTA. cheers, Samuel Kvarnbrink -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/

After that, I start working on my MTA, by sending mail from the Mailman server to a normal email account that I use (this tells you if the problem is with your MTA or Mailman). If this doesn't succeed then you need to start looking at your MTA logs and see what is happening. If it does work, then check the Mailman logs.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Backing up list with a cronjob command

It only gives me one line. If you are only interested in backing up the lists of subscribers, you can use the bin/list_members tool. (Run it without arguments to see the options available.) To do a more complete backup, you will want to preserve at least the lists/* directories... and in many cases, the archives tree, and the customizations you make to mm_cfg.py, custom handlers, etc... so just backing up the entire Mailman tree often makes sense. How you do that depends on the resources available, but might include rsync/rdiff-backup to another machine, or rotating tar file collections over a number of days... but none of this is Mailman specific. -- Jim Tittsler http://www.OnJapan.net/ GPG: 0x01159DB6 Python Starship http://Starship.Python.net/ Ringo MUG Tokyo http://www.ringo.net/rss.html -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to survive in a spam infested world with 2.0.7. Is there a script I could install, or something of that ilk? You could write a script that scripted the web interface, and have that script invoked periodically as a cron job.

[Mailman-Users] Huge List
I am hoping that someone will be able to help me out here. I have been using mailman for a while now and am very familiar and happy with its functionality! I have a client that wants to bring his list over to mailman, he has roughly 200,000 subscribers to this list and it is used once a month for a newsletter. The system I will be putting this on is a pretty beafy dell edge server running RH AS3.0, dual processor and 1 GB of memory. Sendmail for MTA. Has anyone ever had experience or heard of how mailman/sendmail will play with a list of this size?

[Mailman-Users] problems migrating mailman site
I'm upgrading my box from Fedora to Gentoo. I've saved my old mailman directory and have just installed Mailman in Gentoo. But when I try copying over the archives, data and lists directories, it doesn't know about the lists. Old version on Fedora is 2.1.5. New version in Gentoo is 2.1.5. I've emerged mailman, and done the work to integrate with apache and postfix. I can view a screen at http://myserver.com/mailman/admin/, but it says that there are no public lists.

[Mailman-Users] resent-to possibly gets a message through moderation?
Hello. I am running several mailing lists using mailman. Latest available debian package. A member of one of my mailing lists got a spam message (it was confirmed on several levels). We are not yet exactly sure how it happened, but the result was him re-sending the message to the list, carbon-copied from the spam. Here is what I suspect caused mailman to accept the message without moderation, even though the FROM: address is not subscribed: Resent-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: inquisitorRobbins [EMAIL PROTECTED] Resent-Message-Id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Resent-From: member name [EMAIL PROTECTED] If it isn't it and I completely mis-understood what happened, or you require any further information to find out how mailman let this email through, please let me know.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Huge List
I run a list of 8,000 contacts and I ran out of memory. My virtual server was a bit older -- and the ceiling was very low. I've since been in the upgrade / migration to a new server. So, I hope to be running again soon. But, there was a problem with memory errors. However, it sounds (rookie guess) that you'll be okay given the box you described. Ta.
