[Mailman-Users] how can I forward messages without having it appear as an attachment?

2005-06-16 Thread rfried
Hi,

I moderate a list and want to forward a message from within 'pending
requests'
to another address that is another email list that we run.

I have found out that the posting text went out as an attachment, with
the
body of the actual email text-less. Also the From: did not state the
original sender of the posting but as 'mylistname-bounces'.

So does anyone know if it's possible with a posting forwarded from
one list to another to have it

a) sent not as an attachment but with the text in the body of the email

and

b) contain a From: header with the sender's address and not a '-bounces'
one

??

Thanks for any advice or fixes.

Riki

P.S. A similar question to this one was posted in the archives and I
never saw an answer. Is there one?

[Mailman-Users] Large list problem

2005-06-16 Thread Chance Eppinette
Hello,

I am running Mailman 2.1.5 on a Solaris 2.8 SUN 280R (fully loaded).

I have a number of lists but 1 in particular is giving me problems.  The
list currently has about 14000 members of which about 1100 are disabled due
to bounces.
The problem seems to arise when a message is sent to the list (around every
2-3 weeks).

The CPU time for a python process jumps up to around 50% for an indetermined
amount of time ( 24 hours).
While the system is working on this list message, GUI access to the list
is nearly impossible (can't login); while other lists seem to function OK.
Up to this point I have had to stop/kill all Mailman processes and then
restart Mailman several times to bring things back to normal with the List
service.
The intended message being sent to the list does arrive in users mailboxes
(which are worldwide).

I believe the culprit to be a combination of managing the number of bounces
due to the size of the list membership.

Also, we prefer that once a member has been disabled for 3 bounces, that it
also be unsubscribed from the list.  This does seem to occur, but it seems
to take forever to occur.  Like I said there are about 1100 addresses
disabled right now.  However, they have yet to be removed.  It is like the
system is waiting on something else to occur, but I don't know what.

Are there any recommendations

Many thanks,

I create a mailman user, which is in the mailman group. The mailman group 
only has a mailman user.

I suppose the problems are caused by:

1. user mailman has no  execute permission to run 
/usr/local/sbin/mailman.aliases (causes command not found)

Actually, no one has permission to execute this file. It's root that
needs permission because it's run by sudo as root.

chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/mailman.aliases

or 

chmod 755 /usr/local/sbin/mailman.aliases


2. user root has no read permission to see /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases 
(causes status: 1, Operation not permitted)

That's correct.

chmod o+r /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases

or

chmod 664 /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases

[Mailman-Users] Reply-To revisited

2005-06-16 Thread Jost Krieger
No, I don't want to convert you to my opinion of Reply-To handling :-)

I think Mailmans attitude is correct, everyone should be able to implement his
own idea ...

Only I found it not flexible enough.

Our Problem: We have an announcement list for campus network admnistrators and
an associated discussion list (for *interested* network administrators).
Usually, answers are directed to the discussion list and everyone is happy.

But sometimes, there are announcements like We need 20 people who also buy
this to get a good price. If you would like to buy, answer me.

The answers obviously shouldn't go to the list. Network adminstrators aren't
any better at hand editing To: fields than anybody else. If you opt for not
stripping the original Reply-To: header, you will get the answers to the sender
*and* the list, also not what you want.

My idea would be to restructure the options in the following way:

DEFAULT_REPLY_GOES_TO_LIST:
# 0 - Reply-To: no address
# 1 - Reply-To: back to the list
# 2 - Reply-To: to an explicit value (reply_to_address)
# 3 - Reply-To: to sender of mail

DEFAULT_FIRST_STRIP_REPLY_TO
# 0 - merge
# 1 - override
# 2 - respect

For our case, I'd use values of 0 and 2.

I hope the meaning of respect, override and merge is clear ...

Any ideas?

Jost

You can't do this directly from the admindb (pending requests) page.

How easy it is to do depends on the capabilities of your MUA (e-mail
client). First, you need a copy of the original message (only) which
can be extracted from the immediate notification to the moderator
(you) if you get immediate notifications, or extracted from the
message as forwarded to you (instead of the other list) from the
admindb interface, or if you are going to approve the message for the
original list, it can be the post you receive from the original list
after approval.

Then you need to 'redirect', 'resend' or 'bounce' that message to the
target list, and in this process or by pre-editing change the To:
address from the old list to the new so the message doesn't get held
for implicit destination, and maybe strip any subject prefix from the
subject.

Some MUAs make this very easy and some make it impossible. At worst,
you can edit the message with a text editor and send it to the new
list with the sendmail command or equivalent if you have access to
that.

Once the bounce has been registered by bounce processing, the original
bounce message is discarded. The only ones you see are the one that
causes the initial disable and unrecognized ones assuming those

It's waiting n weeks for the n weekly warning messages to be sent where

You might be interested in seeing what's in Mailman's bounce log.

I don't know. I only see two places in the code where the Sender:
header is manipulated. It is removed for anonymous lists (General
Options-anonymous_list = Yes), but it looks like SMTPDirect removes
it from all outgoing messages and puts in a Sender: with the
envelope sender (usually listname-bounces) address.

If this doesn't help, you could use bin/config_list to dump the
configuraton from the one list and from one of the others and then
diff the two to see what's different.

Pretty thanks. I followed your steps to change the perssion. 
/usr/local/mailman/bin/newlist works pretty well. After I create a list by 
using bin/newlist, /etc/mailman.aliases has aliases for that list. However, 
when I create a list in the web (http://mydomain.com/mailman/create), I got

My web server runs as 'www', so my /etc/sudoers file is like this

mailman ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/sbin/mailman.aliases

Is it still file permission problem? (looks like...but I did change the 
permission )

If vendors decide they want to create a binary package, they need 
to keep and maintain their own documentation on how to update the 
binary packages.  In this respect, RedHat does a much better job than 
some other vendors.


If you're going to be running RedHat on your machines, then you 
need to know how RedHat handles their binary packages.  Your failure 
to fully understand this process is not the fault of RedHat, nor is 
it the fault of the Mailman project.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Large list problem

Check the FAQ at http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py and 
search for things like performance and large.  I suspect you may 
be running into Python locking issues, but you may also be having 
some filesystem or disk subsystem problems.  A lot of discussion has 
occurred on the list regarding large mailing lists (e.g., those 
with 100k subscribers or more), and we've tried to encode this 
information in the FAQ, with links to good threads in the archives, 
etc

Before going too much further, I'd recommend checking the FAQ, 
searching the archives, etc

Re: [Mailman-Users] Red Hat FHS packaging

If you're a RedHat user, then talking about SRPMs is precisely 
the right sort of thing for RedHat to do.  From what I can gather, 
you chose the OS first, then the application.  That would imply that 
you want to run RedHat in general, and that other applications could 
equally meet your needs.

This doesn't do much for non-RedHat users, but then if you're 
going to be running RedHat, you need to learn how RedHat works.


If you had chosen the application first and then come asked us, 
we could have given you some feedback on what OSes are well-known to 
work with Mailman, including the ones previously and currently in use 
at python.org, etc

You might still have chosen RedHat after that discussion, but you 
would hopefully have understood the problem a bit better, and had a 
better idea of where you need to go looking.
