[Mailman-Users] variable %(addr) not interpreted in customized template
I have tried to cusotmize the welcome message in the usual way: created a directory lists/mylist/en and copied templates/subscribeack.txt to this directory where I edited it. In the new template I wanted as well to make the address of the welcomed member visible and so I used the variable %(addr). This has unfortunatelly not worked: What I got back was the string %(addr) itself and no email address. What should I do to get it write?

[Mailman-Users] Special characters crash Mailman?
Hello, I have some hundereds of held messages in mailman, but some mails have special characters in them. When discarding them, mailman 2.1.5 says it hit a bug. What i notice is that all other normal messages get processed except those few. Is there any way i can manually delete that email (or all held mesages) from the filesystem directly? I have some 15000 of held messages in total so though of taking advice. I can provide more details if i was not clear.

[Mailman-Users] Trouble posting to a list
I have a member of a list that I run who is not in the banned members, and is trying the very simple task of posting a mail to that list. He's forwarding me a copy of the mail and it is obviously being addressed correctly. Trouble is, the mail is not hitting the list, it's not getting sent to the administrator for approval (which it shouldn't anyway as there are no conditions that would cause it to), and the sender is not getting any mail back as to why his post is not reaching the list.

[Mailman-Users] mailman
Forgive me if I seem a little dense. I would like to use mailman with a very pretty form on my website. Is there any way to make a php or cgi form work with mailman. In other words, i would like someone on my site to fill out a form, and it will put their name in the mailman list and generate an email that will go to them and then they can log in and confirm the email sign up. I think the mailman script is a wonderful thing and puts the power of the list in the individuals hand. One more thing, is that I do not want anyone whatsoever to mail to this list except the administrator. Can the information be modified on the user screen in order to only allow them to change their individual settings or unsubscribe. Or better yet, is there a script that can be written or available that will do all this directly from the pretty web page that I will design, where they never have to log into the mailman screen. In other words they can't see the backend of the mail list, or even know ! that they could try to mail to the list. Let me know if something is available or can be written. Thank You r.

[Mailman-Users] OSX config.pck.last problem possible resolution
Hi again, As some would know, there seems to be an issue with Mailman on OSX, where some systems will periodically see the cronjob sending an error out to root via email in relation to the file config.pck.last not being able to be re-written or whatever. I have had this twice now, both times a couple of days after a System Update has been applied. On both occasions, I have run check_perms the errors have disappeared. My guess here is that the system update (the latest being 10.3.9) seems to have changed something critical to Mailman in terms of permissions. So, if anyone else is experiencing this problem, I would suggest trying to run check_perms see if the problems disappear. Hope this helps. -- Bye for now, Terry Allen ___ hEARd Postal Address: hEARd, 26B Glenning Rd, Glenning Valley, NSW 2261, Australia Internet - WWW: http://heard.com.au http://itavservices.com EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: Australia - 02 4388 1400 / International - + 61 2 43881400 Mobile: Australia - 04 28881400 / International - 61 4 28881400 --- Non profit promotion for new music - since 1994 --- -- 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman and spam
At 10:17 AM +0900 2005-04-21, Stephen J. Turnbull wrote: Is this necessarily true? On some systems (my lists' host, for one), the dominating cost of spam is network bandwidth. Disk I/O and CPU are way behind. So yes, if we can stop spam before we see the content, we win big. But as I understand it, even sendmail milters read the whole message before making a decision. So our costs remain basically the same as long as the spam is caught somewhere in the pipeline. You can't figure out what is spam and what isn't without scanning the content. You're going to pay that network cost, period. In my experience, the biggest cost is disk I/O operations in processing that message -- which is where sendmail+milter can be a huge win over other solutions which write the message to a temporary file and then pass that on to another program. Am I missing something? I agree that every list admin should consider what they can do to reject spam as early in the pipeline as possible, but even in the case of counting Spamassassin s one might want to configure different lists differently. The earlier you can make decisions as to whether or not to throw something away, the better. If you have to wait until the message gets to Mailman, you may be limited in terms of what you can do in order to deal with spam. If you can deal with the spam earlier in the process, so much the better. -- Brad Knowles, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), reply of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the Governor, November 11, 1755 SAGE member since 1995.

Re: [Mailman-Users] migration mailman lists, dealing with paths in config.db

I have tried the config_list program, it fails when using the -i option, do to the difference in paths! Preferably a scripty way, as there are quite a few lists to move. What is the error message? (I'm surprised that it fails.) But ignoring that... it might be easiest to work around the problem by creating symbolic links at the old locations... at least long enough to update them. You could use bin/withlist to modify all your lists. (Run it with no arguments for help.

Re: [Mailman-Users] OSX config.pck.last problem possible resolution
On 4/21/05 4:47 PM, Terry Allen at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As some would know, there seems to be an issue with Mailman on OSX, where some systems will periodically see the cronjob sending an error out to root via email in relation to the file config.pck.last not being able to be re-written or whatever. I have had this twice now, both times a couple of days after a System Update has been applied. On both occasions, I have run check_perms the errors have disappeared. My guess here is that the system update (the latest being 10.3.9) seems to have changed something critical to Mailman in terms of permissions. So, if anyone else is experiencing this problem, I would suggest trying to run check_perms see if the problems disappear. Interesting. I updated to 10.3.9 last night and have had no problems. Checking in my mailman directory, I see config.pck and config.pck.last files that all have update times since the OS update. I have not run Mac OS X's repair disk permissions since the update. I know many people recommend doing so both before and after applying any OS update but I've found doing so actually causes me problems - it changes the permissions on /var/mail to something pine does not like. -- Larry Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.stonejongleux.com/ Hi again, Yes, I agree. It doesn't happen straight away - I had 3 days of runtime after the update before that problem showed up again. I have no answer it does not seem to happen on every OSX installation either. -- Bye for now, Terry Allen ___ hEARd Postal Address: hEARd, 26B Glenning Rd, Glenning Valley, NSW 2261, Australia Internet - WWW: http://heard.com.au http://itavservices.com EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: Australia - 02 4388 1400 / International - + 61 2 43881400 Mobile: Australia - 04 28881400 / International - 61 4 28881400 --- Non profit promotion for new music - since 1994 --- -- 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
