[Mailman-Users] Allowing only users from a domain to post to list

[Kyle Kniepkamp]

This is mainly a two part question:
1. I have a list that I would only like to allow people with an 
@mydomain.com email address to post to. All others should be rejected. I 
don't see an easy way to do this and haven't run across anything useful 
in the list archives. Any ideas?

2. I have a list that will contain other lists, will people from those 
other lists be allowed to post to the main list without allowing anyone 
to post to it?

Thanks,
Mailman version 2.1.5

[Mailman-Users] Data directory/bounce-events-* files?

[Larry Rosenman]

I have 178MEG of bounce-events-* files in my /data directory.

Should these files be hanging around?

I did have the Python 2.4* problem with strftime, but that is now fixed by
A local patch. 

If these files need to be processed somehow, how?

Do they need to hang around?

Thanks!

That worked perfectly and took all of 1 minute to do. THANK YOU!
I would, however, make the recommendation that when send_reminders is set 
0 for a list that imported users should also have the 
SuppressPasswordReminders flag set to 1 rather than 0. As an admin, if I 
don't want reminders sent to my users, then why would every imported user 
have their settings set to receive them, thus overriding my list setting?

I think you want to set SuppressPasswordReminders for each member.  And 
yes, you could do it with withlist.  Create ~mailman/noreminders.py 
containing:

###noreminders.py
from Mailman import mm_cfg
def noreminders(m):
for addr in m.getMembers():
m.setMemberOption(addr, mm_cfg.SuppressPasswordReminder, 1)
m.Save()
m.Unlock()
###noreminders.py
and then run on list 'mylist' by using withlist, remembering to lock 
the list:

bin/withlist -l -r noreminders mylist

[Mailman-Users] Extend htdig/Mailman to display message authors

[Mark Andrews]

This question is in the blurry area between Mailman and htdig. Using the 
htdig patch from SourceForge, I've managed to
get Mailman 2.1.5 correctly building and searching message indexes.

However, we have one more wish item. Using htsearch to search message 
indexes produces a nice HTML page of messages,
ranked in whatever order was chosen by the user. We would like to 
include the name of the person (the author) of each message
in the HTML page produced by htsearch.

For example, if I search the "foo" group for messages containing the 
word "bar", I currently see something like:

*** [foo] First Subject
 ** [foo] Second Subject
when I would like to see:
*** [foo] First Subject   Author Name1
 ** [foo] Second Subject  Author Name2
Anyone done something similar or know how to do it?
Thanks

That's because with 2.1.x, you must have a list called 'mailman'. I'm
sure it's in the FAQ somewhere. MM won't operate without it.

Sorry for the delay in response, had a server to fix in the mean time!

The mailman logs do not give any indication that anything is wrong.  I had this 
running about a 6 weeks ago, but put it on the back burner for a few other 
things.  Came back to it and it all of a sudden would not work.

I can't get acces to the qfiles.  From the terminal I get this.

xserve1:/var/mailman/qfiles jmooers$ ls -l

Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about.  I'm wondering if it happens when
the messages are converted to plain text.  Or maybe with the handling of 
extended
ASCII characters.

On this list, I see it with about 5% of the posts.  I'm running the same 
version of
Mailman as this list, and it doesn't happen on my list.

It seems like bad advertising for Mailman, and I'd be interested in helping to 
track
down the problem.

[Mailman-Users] Setting option flag for all users?

[Jared Smith]

I just got mailman 2.1.5 up and running on Debian and only pulled out 
about half of my hair in the process. I had set send_reminders (to send 
the monthly password reminders) in my list admin to NO and then imported 
our 1000 or so users. I have everything up and running perfectly and am 
now shocked to see that all of the imported users have the "Get password 
reminder email for this list?" flag set to YES, which means they will get 
the password reminder anyway, right?

So, is there a way for me to change this setting for all users to NO and 
then give them the option to enable it if they choose to. Totally 
disabling the password reminders isn't an option - I just don't want the 
user to get them unless they change the setting to YES.

I really don't want to change the options manually in the Web interface 
for 1000 usrs. I've narrowed this down to the send_reminders flag in the 
user options, but I'm not sure how to change this flag to 0 for all the 
users. Perhaps a withlist command?

(You will probably also want to copy the archives and mm_cfg.py 
customizations.)

If you copied the contents of the lists directory, that contains all 
of the subscriber addresses.

If you mean the addresses to reach the mailing lists, you will also 
need to copy or recreate all of the aliases that pipe mail into 
mailman (unless you use an MTA scheme that automatically detects the 
lists, which is most common for Exim users).  the bin/genaliases 
command can (re)build the complete list of aliases for your lists.  
(If you are using Postfix, you will also want to tell it where to find 
the aliases in the data directory... details are in README.POSTFIX.)

[Mailman-Users] Re: Mailman-Users Digest, Vol 14, Issue 22

[Paul Williams]

Just last week I did a move all my mailmna lists
to a totally new server, I moved  where mailman was installed
and had a new version of Mailman.
I needed to run
  bin/withlist -l -r fix_url -a
as described in 3.4 in the Mailman FAQ
and then I encountered the apparently known problem described in 3.38
in the Mailman FAQ, ie.
After upgrading mailman it gives out erroneous moderation messages, eg
"Subject: -1 LISTNAME moderator request(s) waiting
This fixes itself when you go to the link.
There is a description how to fix the problem other than going to the link,
but to be honest, the description was not written in a way that I could
understand to fix the problem.  I understood how to use the python fix for
one list but I have about 400+ lists and I didn't want to run it by hand on
all 400+ lists.  So I just told owners to click on the link and it
should fix it for them.

(You will probably also want to copy the archives and mm_cfg.py 
customizations.)

If you copied the contents of the lists directory, that contains all of 
the subscriber addresses.

If you mean the addresses to reach the mailing lists, you will also need 
to copy or recreate all of the aliases that pipe mail into mailman (unless 
you use an MTA scheme that automatically detects the lists, which is most 
common for Exim users).  the bin/genaliases command can (re)build the 
complete list of aliases for your lists.  (If you are using Postfix, you 
will also want to tell it where to find the aliases in the data 
directory... details are in README.POSTFIX.)

All that log excerpt shows is the mail was delivered to mailman. You need to
take a look at mailman's logs (in (prefix)/mailman/logs) to see what is
going on within mailman.

But let's not pass up the obvious: you did start mailman, right?

[Mailman-Users] OSError

[Sean]

Hi,

I started seeing this on one of my mailman servers:

Apr 13 12:02:48 2005 qrunner(62314): Traceback (most recent call last):
Apr 13 12:02:48 2005 qrunner(62314):   File "/usr/mailman/bin/qrunner",
line 270, in ?
Apr 13 12:02:48 2005 qrunner(62314):   File "/usr/mailman/bin/qrunner",
line 230, in main
Apr 13 12:02:48 2005 qrunner(62314):  qrunner.run()
Apr 13 12:02:48 2005 qrunner(62314):   File
"/usr/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 70, in run
Apr 13 12:02:48 2005 qrunner(62314):  filecnt = self._oneloop()
Apr 13 12:02:48 2005 qrunner(62314):   File
"/usr/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 94, in _oneloop
Apr 13 12:02:48 2005 qrunner(62314):  files =
self._switchboard.files()
Apr 13 12:02:48 2005 qrunner(62314):   File
"/usr/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Switchboard.py", line 158, in files
Apr 13 12:02:48 2005 qrunner(62314):  for f in
os.listdir(self.__whichq):
Apr 13 12:02:48 2005 qrunner(62314): OSError :  [Errno 23] Too many open
files in system: '/usr/mailman/qfiles/out'

This is on a FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE box with mailman 2.1.5.  When I ran pstat
-T the number for files open was around 5000 and the default limit on the
server is 8232.   So its not hitting that limit.   Any ideas why
Switchboard.py is complaining about this?

It causes the OutgoingRunner to die off.  I've got a similar setup on a
separate FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE box but never get this error there.  The only
difference is that there are 2 slices of OutgoingRunner on the box giving
the error.

Thanks for any input,
Sean

Re: [Mailman-Users] no outgoing mail with postfix

[Tamara Yoggev]

Thanks a lot for your reply.
After going through the FAQ,
I performed the following steps and the problem was solved:
1) started the qrunner. (A bit embarrassing, don't know how it was stopped)
2) In mm_cfg.py, added SMTPHOST=
3) In /etc/nsswitch.conf switched:
   hosts: files nis 
  to:
  hosts: dns files nis

and that solved all my problems.
Thanks again,
Tamara

Meaning there is no error in either your Postfix logs or your Mailman 
logs?

Did you try check the troubleshooting points suggested by the FAQ?
  
Everything seems fine! except the message doesn't get posted to all 
the list members!
Are the messages collecting in the Mailman qfiles/in (did you remember 
to start mailman?) or qfiles/shunt (check Mailman's error log again)?

[Mailman-Users] MailMan Not Sending

[Jess Mooers]

I am having a strange problem with Mailman 2.1.5, Mac OS X Server 10.3, Postfix.

First, Postfix is sending mail from our php forms, so I know that it is 
working.  I can send a message to the list, with no bounce backs.  Here is the 
mail log that shows the email being sent. 

Apr 13 16:57:13 xserve1 postfix/smtpd[15537]: connect from 
smtp.landmanninteractive.com[66.170.10.201]
Apr 13 16:57:13 xserve1 postfix/smtpd[15537]: DDCE9298A97C: 
client=smtp.landmanninteractive.com[66.170.10.201]
Apr 13 16:57:13 xserve1 postfix/cleanup[15538]: DDCE9298A97C: 
message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Apr 13 16:57:13 xserve1 postfix/qmgr[14677]: DDCE9298A97C: from=<[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]>, size=1149, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Apr 13 16:57:13 xserve1 postfix/smtpd[15537]: disconnect from 
smtp.landmanninteractive.com[66.170.10.201]
Apr 13 16:57:14 xserve1 postfix/local[15540]: DDCE9298A97C: to=<[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]>, relay=local, delay=1, status=sent 
("|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman post li_customers")

The problem is that the message never sends from mailman.  Any help in 
troubleshooting would be great.

Regards,
Jess Mooers
