[Mailman-Users] reject explanation send to owners ?

[Christophe Meessen]

Hello,

we have a list currently managed by two moderators. We use moderation 
and some time we reject mails and provide a specific explanation.
The ennoying feature in our current configuration is that the other 
moderator does not know the explanation given unless the moderator send 
by hand an explicit message to the other moderator to explain what he did.

There is an option to send mail to owner, but this function won't send 
the explanation sent back to the original sender. Is it possible that 
the reject message is sent also to the owners so that they can see the 
explanation given ?

[Mailman-Users] Return Path

[Petra Humann]

Hello,

I'm running mailman 2.1.5 with Sun Messaging Server.

I noticed, that every mail has two "Return-Path" headers:
> Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
> Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Running mailman version 2.1.1 with sendmail only one
Return-Path header exists.
> Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Are two Return-Path headers okay?

Some mails fail,the notifications to the postmaster include the
reason, e.g.:

> Sat, 25 Jun 2005 21:25:08 +0200 (MEST)
> Error reading SMTP packet; response to RCPT TO command expected

I assume, that the two Return-Path headers are the reason.
How do I correct this?

Thank you very much.
P.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Message Unparsable

[Dennis Putnam]

This problem seems to be a little more serious then I thought. It 
appears that no HTML attachments are getting through mailman. In 
addition to the unparsable error I am also getting a "non-text 
attachment was scrubbed" error and one message went into a black hole 
(no message distributed and nothing in any Mailman logs). There is only 
a message in the SMTP log showing the message was passed to the Mailman 
command string.

I desperately need some help resolving this problem. Is there some 
filtering going on here that hoses HTML attachments that needs to be 
turned off. How can I debug this when there is nothing in the logs? Is 
there a verbose mode switch I can turn on? TIA.

Good question.

Nope, no verbose mode.  One of the problems I've had with Mailman 
for some time has been the sometimes limited amount of information 
that it puts into the logs, and the lack of any kind of ability to 
increase the logging level.

You may be forced to use command-line tools to try to identify 
problematical messages that are sitting in the "shunt" queue (if 
any), or going into the Python source code and adding some more of 
your own logging.

Hm.. "Shunt" queue? Maybe that would at least let me know what Mailman 
is looking that it can't parse, just in case something unexpected is 
being inserted along the way. Where is that directory? I see nothing in 
the /var/mailman path that looks like a "shunt" queue.

I'm not a Python programmer so I am not about to touch that. Thanks for 
the reply.

Normally, it would be located under 
/usr/local/mailman/qfiles/shunt, but it appears that the version of 
Mailman you're using on your platform has put that directory 
structure somewhere else.

I'm not a Python programmer, either.  However, it should be 
simple enough to find some of the existing examples of logging and to 
copy-n-paste those lines to other code elsewhere in the system, 
making appropriate changes for the message you want logged, and 
making sure to get the indentation correct for the new location of 
the code.

Thanks. It is in /var/mailman/qfiles but the shunt directory is empty.

[Mailman-Users] Need more guidance in getting Mailman lists running on OS X Tiger Server

[Thomas Waters]

I tried to move our mailman lists from the older Panther Server to a  
new install of tiger server, and I'm still not there.

Postfix is working.  Mailman is working.  What isn't correct is the  
Web UI for Mailman.

The lists use the addresses [EMAIL PROTECTED], but the web  
site has a URL of www/pharmacy.pitt.edu/mailman/somelist

In the mm_cfg.py file, email host is set to pharmacy.pitt.edu and URL  
host set to www.pharmacy.pitt.edu.  Is this the correct settings?

If I go to the Maillist admin web page, and try to create a new list,  
I get error- unknown virtual host www.pharmacy.pitt.edu.

I can create a list in the OS X Server Admin however.   I believe the  
only pice that is "broken" is create a new list via the web UI.


NOTE: new email address

[Mailman-Users] Help getting SuSE 9.3+Mailman 2.1.5+Apache2 working

[Michael Regoli]

Hello! I'm trying to get mailman and Apache2 working nicely from the
stock SuSE distro. (YOU, Yast Online Update is current on the machine,
so if there's new stuff for either mailman or Apache2, I've got it.
mailman is version [2.1.5] and Apache2 is version [2.0.53].)

Has anyone got the two working together? If so, could you shed some
light on your Apache2 configuration? I've followed all of the
instructions at
http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/node10.html, but
cannot get Apache2 to "see" the mailman stuff in
/usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin (I'm getting 403: "client denied by server
configuration: /var/lib/mailman/cgi-bin" when I visit
"http://servername/mailman/admin"; for instance.)

Web server is running fine.  The machine has a few other virtual hosts
on it, so I've put the mailman configuration into the default virtual
hosts setup in /etc/apache2/default-server.conf:


 ServerName www.servername.here:80
 DocumentRoot "/srv/www/htdocs"
 ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 TransferLog /var/log/apache2/access_log
 ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error_log
 ScriptAlias /mailman/ /var/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/
 
   AllowOverride None
   Options +ExecCGI +Includes
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
< /Directory>
 

I've even tried duplicating the  section above in the
main "default-server.conf" file to allow CGI from within the
mailman/cgi-bin directory.  No luck.

I think I'm putting the mailman configuration in the wrong place, as
apache is clearly not letting me run anything from the mailman/cgi-bin
directory.

Thanks for any advice!  --mike

It seems you haven't put

add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

in mm_cfg.py following the definitions of DEFAULT_URL_HOST and
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST.

in mm_cfg.py you should have:

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'pharmacy.pitt.edu'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.pharmacy.pitt.edu'
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

The VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear() isn't absolutely necessary, but it removes
the presumably erroneous entry added in Defaults.py.

See http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.029.htp

You should not have any entries in mm_cfg.py for
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN
DEFAULT_HOST_NAME
DEFAULT_URL

If you carefully read 'bin/newlist --help' you will see the command you
want is

bin/newlist [EMAIL PROTECTED]

i.e., [EMAIL PROTECTED], not [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I know this is confusing and it has been addressed in 2.1.6 by adding
new options so you could do

bin/newlist list --urlhost=lists.mglug.de

but this won't work in 2.1.5.

You need to do

bin/mailmanctl restart

after making mm_cfg.py changes. Recompilation will occur automatically.

Did you receive and respond to an e-mail address change confirmation
mail at the new address?

>Also, the info page has half an e-mail address where it says to post to.

The domain of the posting address comes from host_name near the bottom
of the General Options section of the admin interface.

This is not a permissions problem. It is a bug in Mailman 2.1.4 which
was fixed in 2.1.5.

Not surprising since normally there is a message in the 'error' log
when a message is shunted.

On the original question, have you looked at your list's Content
filtering Section? I suggest that initially, filter_content should be
'No', and if 'Yes', filter action should be 'Reject' or 'Forward', not
'Discard' or 'Preserve'.

Also regarding scrubbed attachments, normally attachments are only
scrubbed from archives and digests, and when scrubbed, they are stored
and replaced by a web link to the stored attachment. Is this what
happened in your case?

Can an external user post successfully?

If an internal user can successfully subscribe by e-mail, but an
external user can't, I think it must be an Exim configuration issue.

Can internal users subscribe via the web and external users not? I
can't offhand understand what might cause this.

There is currently no option to copy the reject notice to the (other)
owners/moderators, but it would be useful in cases such as yours. This
is already an RFE, see

Not really, but they shouldn't cause the following problem.

Section 4.4 of RFC 2821 - SMTP which can be found at
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2821.html is the standard which covers the
use of Return-Path: headers.

When mail is delivered from the SMTP environment to an 'outside'
destination, the delivering server MUST add a Return-Path: header
containing the envelope sender information. The MTA that finally
delivers to Mailman inserts the

Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

header, and the MTA that finally delivers the post from Mailman to the
recipient inserts the

Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

header.

The issue is the removal of the first Return-Path: header in the
process of delivery from Mailman to recipient. The standard says that
the MTA making final delivery MAY (not MUST) remove Return-Path:
headers before adding its own. It also says that gateways from
elsewhere to SMTP SHOULD delete any Return-Path: header from the
message which seems to say that Mailman should do this before sending
the message, but it doesn't. It could easily be done in the
bulkdeliver() method in Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py, but comments
there seem to indicate that Mailman relies the outgoing and/or final
delivery MTA to do it.

Thus we have the situation where your messages wind up with two
Return-Path headers in your particular configuration although some
recipients may see only one if the MTA doing final delivery to them
removes the first.

I don't think this is the reason, but I may be wrong. Do the failures
occur consistently for the same subset of recipients? If so, it might
be the extra Return-Path, but it doesn't seem to me that this would
result in the specific reported error.

If you want to delete the first Return-Path in Mailman to test this,
you could edit the Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py module. In this
module you will see

def bulkdeliver(mlist, msg, msgdata, envsender, failures, conn):

followed by several lines of comments followed by

del msg['sender']
del msg['errors-to']
msg['Sender'] = envsender
msg['Errors-To'] = envsender

Change these by adding one line as follows:

del msg['sender']
del msg['errors-to']
del msg['return-path']
msg['Sender'] = envsender
msg['Errors-To'] = envsender

Be sure the added line is indented exactly the same as the others and
with spaces, not tab.

After editing, restart mailman to pick up the change.

Have you configured sendmail aliases to pipe list mail to the mailman
wrapper?

This appears to be a SuSe specific way of configuring group
authorization for the wrappers. I suggest you explore this on a SuSe
list/forum/etc. where you are likely to encounter people who know more
about this.

-- When testing it out, I don't receive an

all...  I'm looking into upgrading Exim to 4 with SSL.
 Perhaps that may make a difference, as it appears 3.x
is not very well supported...?

route.
