Can you explain me this ?
Is this really necessary ?
That is the periodic task that was used for the (old) Mailman 2.0.x 
releases to process the messages.

Can we prevent it from being printed in my /auth.log ?
If you use syslog-ng you could filter them before they are written to 
the log.

[Mailman-Users] Local list between Mailman and Public mail server.

[aprakash]

Hi List,

I am very newbie to this MM. I have created a Mailing List (listname) 
in my Local server.My domain name is, say local.com. In local server, i am 
running sendmail, everything is working fine.

 I want to make this local list to my Public mail server also. 
I have another public mail server called isp.com. I want to make this 
local LIST available for the people having account in isp mail server. so the 
user's from isp.com can access this local list.i have created account [EMAIL 
PROTECTED] suppose a user from isp server, post a mail should reach the local 
server and 
vice versa. The isp user will use maillisting's name
as [EMAIL PROTECTED] But the local user as [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have added RELAY to isp mail server in my mailman configuration to 
forward local mails. Planning to run Fetchmail, to get the mail from [EMAIL 
PROTECTED] and put it into mailman's account.I am not expert in sendmail and 
also in MM. 

It would be very greatful, if any one pointing me right direction... 

Thanks
Prakash

Ah, that's no sin (heck, Brad was on _my_ case for "assuming too much
expertise" last week).  I just meant that anything that you do more
than once is a candidate for automation.

I just submitted an RFE

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1192175&group_id=103&atid=350103

If it looks useful, please improve and endorse.  If not, I'm sure that
the implementors would appreciate a brief review to that effect!

yep.  No problems.  (I just did a mass migration for someone, and needed to do

You don't get a choice of HTML or not for digests.  You get a choice
of formats for packaging several posts into one mail message.  If the
original posts contained HTML and that was not stripped, then it will
be passed through.  This may work better if the user chooses the MIME
format for digests, but as far as I know both digest formats pass HTML
just fine.

Daevid> I thought the old mailman allowed a user to choose if they
Daevid> got the regular emails as plain or html. Hmm.

No.  What you may have been observing is that multipart/alternative
messages that contain BOTH plaintext and HTML versions of the same
content were viewed as plaintext by members who set their MUAs to
prefer plaintext, and were viewed as HTML by members who prefer HTML.
Since the message contains both versions, the member can (and does)
choose AFTER receiving the message.

In Mailman 2.1, it is (finally!) possible for the list admin to refuse
and/or strip out HTML BEFORE it gets sent out by the list.  Mailman is
not capable of reformatting a message as HTML.  Senders must do that
themselves.

Yes, as I suspected, this is being held because the RBC list name does 
not appear in the To: or cc: headers of the message (an "implicit 
destination").  I presume my suggestion of adding [EMAIL PROTECTED] to 
the acceptable_aliases of the RBC list solved the problem.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman install -- she no working day 3.

[Ignacio Valdes]

Hi, I'm trying to get Mailman working on a FreeBSD system X 3 days 
now. I have followed the install document very carefully, apache and 
mailman are loaded and running. However, I cannot get to anything. I 
have the following in my vhosts.conf file:


  ServerName mailman.linuxmednews.com
  DocumentRoot /usr/local/mailman/data


  ServerName test.linuxmednews.com
  DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data

...
I put test-cgi into /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/ and when I try
http://mailman.linuxmednews.com/cgi-bin/test-cgi, it works. However, 
none of the other mailman executables in that directory do anything 
and I certainly cannot get the usual form of mailman URL's 
(http://linuxmednews.com/mailman/... to work at all. I'm running this 
alongside Zope and I am running out of time to work on this.

[Mailman-Users] Limitting age of held messages.

[Matt Ruzicka]

We've got an issue with our data/ dir getting quite large due to a large
number of held messages waiting for admin attention.  Since we have a fair
number of lists with almost as many admins I'm looking for a solution
that will automatically prune down the held messages.

Reading through the FAQ I found this entry that talking about deleting all
held messages for a specific list.

http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.012.htp

This isn't quite what I'm looking for because I do not want to remove ALL
message, just messages that have been sitting around unattended for a long
period of time.

At the end of that FAQ there is mention of a third party patch that allows
you to specify how many days to hold pending messages and to automatically
discard when they expires.

I'm a bit wary of using a third party patch since I don't want to
introduce possible complications related to upgrades or lag if there were
to be a security issue with mailman itself.  I do see that this patch is
supposedly a revamp of another solution that runs from cron, but it has
not been developed in a couple years.

Is anyone else having this issue and are you using this patch or some
other solution to solve this?  Is there a way to solve this problem in
the more recent versions of Mailman that I am not seeing?

Thank you.

[Mailman-Users] listinfo sometimes not displaying public lists?

[RT]

I found this issue covered in mailman-developers in Nov.2000 
(http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-developers/2000-November/007744.html), 
for an old version. however, I've got it in the current version and the 
old answer doesn't seem to be relevant.

I've just installed Mailman and I have one public list. The list is 
normally *not* visible in mailman/info, although sometimes it is 
visible. However, it *is* visible at mailman/admin. The strange thing is 
that I can (occasionally) make it visible in mailman/listinfo by doing 
something unrelated (just logging in or logging out, possibly) in the 
admin pages, but I'm not quite sure what.

Any ideas?
Many thanks -
RT

Re: [Mailman-Users] Installation problem: 500 internal server error

[RT]

Jim Tittsler wrote:
Are you trying to use Apache's suEXEC feature?  It conflicts with the 
normal Mailman installation.  You will need to make sure the cgi-bin 
directory is not group writable.  (Once over that hurdle, you will 
probably then have to make sure that the files in cgi-bin don't have the 
SGID bit set, and are owned by the correct user/group so that suEXEC can 
set the group for the scripts.)
Well, I'll be  *&!?**!!, this (almost) got it working; thanks. It turned 
out to be a litle more complicated...

Problem 1: my 'ISP', for want of a better word, enables suEXEC on 
Apache, and I obviously can't change that (aside: doesn't everyone run 
Apache/suEXEC? If not, why? And surely most mailman users are in the 
same situation that I'm in - I don't have a real internet connection, 
and I rely on someone else's virtual server, on which I don't get a root 
password?)

After following both your instructions, I got a web page, but with this 
error:

Group mismatch error.  Mailman expected the CGI
wrapper script to be executed as group "web", but
the system's web server executed the CGI script as
group "mailman".  Try tweaking the web server to run the
script as group "web", or re-run configure, 
providing the command line option `--with-cgi-gid=mailman'.
Ok, I had configured with '--with-cgi-gid=web', as per INSTALL (Apache 
runs as 'web'). So Apache suEXEC'ed the scripts as 'mailman', so 
defeating the configuration option. As a fix/hack, I changed the 
owner/group of everything in cgi-bin to web/web, to prevent Apache 
suEXEC'ing. This got me further; as far as problem 2, in fact.

Problem 2: Apache now runs the scripts as 'web', which is what mailman 
expects, but I now get another problem: mailman claims to hit an 
internal bug. At the end of the traceback I get:

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/home/mailman/mailman-2.1.5/logs/error'
Ok, mailman is running as web and wants to write into a directory owned 
by mailman, and can't. So I run

/usr/sbin/usermod -G admin, mailman web
And everything springs into life; I can now get listinfo and admin 
pages, complete with logos.

But *none* of this is in the installation instructions, unless I've 
missed something. And, this isn't my day job, and I'm worried that this 
isn't secure. Is it a good idea to run mailman's scripts with Apache's 
permissions?

How does everyone else manage to install this? Would someone mind 
updating INSTALL?

Thanks -
RT

Are you using a RedHat-supplied Python?  Did you build Mailman yourself?

[Mailman-Users] question regarding cron

[Alex at Idoia]

Hello,
I have installed mailman on my debian woody. I have checked recently my 
/var/log/auth.log and they are poluated by a cron that is being 
executed by mailman every minutes of every day:
# */5 * * * *   list[ -x /usr/bin/python -a -f 
/usr/lib/mailman/cron/gate_news ] && /usr/bin/python 
/usr/lib/mailman/cron/gate_news
* * * * *   list[ -x /usr/bin/python -a -f 
/usr/lib/mailman/cron/qrunner ] && /usr/bin/python 
/usr/lib/mailman/cron/qrunner
Can you explain me this ?
Is this really necessary ?
Can we prevent it from being printed in my /auth.log ?
Thanks alot
Alex

[Mailman-Users] Doubts about "-request"

[Daniel Tygel]

Hi friends,

  my name is Daniel Tygel, from Brasil. I'm the administrator of a list
which is powered by mailman (great software!!). I'm having now some
problems which I really cannot understand (my list is called
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"):
 
  If someone sends a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the
subject "help", it works allright, giving all the commands. But if
someone sends a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with subject
"subscribe", simply NOTHING happens! What can be wrong? Is it some
server issue or some misconfiguration?

  Thanks a lot for any help folks,

   Daniel Tygel
