[Mailman-Users] Virtual Host problem with 2.1.7
I am moving a couple list from a server that was running version 2.0.8. I have got the list in place and the archives in place ran bin/withlist -l -r fix_url listname -u This may be where I messed up since I used the virtual hostname (should I have used the default host name?) But whatever when I attempted to start mailman I get add_vituralhost(virtual1.tld, mail.vurtual1.tld) NameError: name 'virtual1.tld' is not defined. Where did I miss the boat.

[Mailman-Users] broken mbox files: No blank lines before From
Hi, I've been browsing the archives, bug lists and google for a while but was unable to find a solution for my problem, so I'm asking here. The mbox archive of one of my lists (~ 15.000 mails in 2 years) is a little broken: In approx. 5% (guessed) of the cases, two mails are not correctly separated by a blank line, i.e. the From header of the latter email is directly under the last (non-empty) line of the preceding letter. This results in some problems: 1) I am in the process of converting the mbox file to a different format - this will not work with broken mbox files like this. 2) List archives are not correctly rebuilt by ~mailman/bin/arch Do you know how this problem occurs? Should I report this to mailman's bug tracker? Do you have any idea how to fix the problem? I'd be happy to hack a newline in all necessary places - but the box is a little big... Do you have any knowledge of some fix-my-mbox-program that does the job? Can anyone help me with a perl one-liner or sth?

If you did, then why would you bother with a mailing list system -- why not just send a message directly to each of those users?\ The event would be unique for this user and should only be sent to him/her. That's not going to work. Is mailman the appropriate program for me? If not, can anyone suggest another standard program that would do the job? If every user has a unique event that only they care about, you will probably need to build your own system -- just have a database of users and what events they're interested in, and then send out e-mail messages every time one of those events happen. Yeah, that is what I do now, but I am at the point where I am sending so many emails per day that my penetration rate is decreasing b/c of Junk/Spam folders.

Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group mailman, or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=mailnull'. Do what it says. If you installed from source, rerun configure, adding or changing the option --with-mail-gid=mailnull, and then run 'make install' If you installed from a package, there may be some package dependent way of changing the group the wrapper expects.

Is there any facility within Mailman to determine the bandwidth used
by a specific list?
Since there is no inbuilt way to do this with Mailman, I wrote a
Python script to parse the POST log and take the size of the posts to
a specific list and then multiply that by the number of active
subscribers at the time this script was run.
This gets the stats from the day before the script is run.
I also said that I would let everyone know if I found a way to do it,
here is the script.
Keep in mind that I don't know Python (I spent an awful lot of time
googling and read Python Docs :)
This is an updated version, which now includes that facility to e-mail
the results.
I have also tried it on my server and it works fine for me. I think
that some of the commands or modules require Python 2.3 or higher.
I have set it up as a cron job, so tomorrow will be the really big
test. If I get an e-mail with the stats, then I know my first Python
program really does work :-)
Again, let me know if you see any way this can be improved.
Also, is there someplace on Sourceforge that I can post this, so that
everyone can enjoy it too?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Determine List Bandwidth
Bryan Carbonnell Again, let me know if you see any way this can be improved. I haven't looked in great detail, but here are some random thoughts I have on the subject for your consideration. If you rotate logs on your system, you may need to concatenate the two most recent logs to be sure you have all the info for one day. If you have digest members, you may or may not be concerned that the digest may not be sent until the 'next day'. Also, if a post is scrubbed for the digest, it may be significantly smaller than the size in the post log. You could match message id's from the post log with the smtp log to get the exact number of recipients without counting members, but this will only get the message recipients, not digest. You can see digests in the smtp log, but not how big or even for what list Also, is there someplace on Sourceforge that I can post this, so that everyone can enjoy it too? You can post it to the Mailman patches tracker. See http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=1123383group_id=103atid=300103 for an example of a different script with a different purpose to see how this works. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Where are the posts going, i.e. which qfiles/* directories have entries. If it's only the one list, presumably the qrunners are OK, but the other questions apply.

Re: [Mailman-Users] is driving me crazy
Thanx mark, here are some of your answers...i already contacted cpanel they reinstalled mailman in the other server before we moved this account and that didnt help, also in this server we deleted this list and created it from zero.

Do ps -fAw | grep 'python' or however you spell the ps options on your system to get all processes including command lines. There should be exactly one each of mailmanctl, ArchRunner, BounceRunner, CommandRunner, IncomingRunner, NewsRunner, OutgoingRunner, VirginRunner and RetryRunner, except in the unlikely case that you are processing your queues in slices in which case there should be one of each runner for each unique slice. If there are more, first do bin/mailmanctl stop. Then if there are any left, send them SIGTERM until they're all gone. Then start mailman again. aboutWhere are the posts going, i.e. which qfiles/* directories have entries., could you please clarify...the following are the directories in /qfiles drwxrwsr-x 11 mailman mailman 4096 May 28 2004 ./ drwxrwsr-x 22 mailman mailman 4096 Jul 20 2005 ../ drwxrws---2 mailman mailman 4096 Jan 22 23:51 archive/ drwxrws---2 mailman mailman 4096 Jan 22 23:52 bounces/ drwxrws---2 mailman mailman 4096 Jan 19 01:41 commands/ drwxrws---2 mailman mailman 8192 Jan 22 23:51 in/ drwxrws---2 mailman mailman 4096 May 28 2004 news/ drwxrws---2 mailman mailman 53248 Jan 22 23:51 out/ drwxrws---2 mailman mailman 4096 Jan 22 22:37 retry/ drwxrws---2 mailman mailman 8192 Dec 17 04:39 shunt/ drwxrws---2 mailman mailman 36864 Jan 22 23:44 virgin/ And what is in the archive/, bounces/, etc. directories? More importantly, when things are not working, in which of those 9 directories (queues) are the messages getting stuck? About Also, what happens if you move the lists/LIST_NAME/digest.mbox file aside? Does that help? you mean delete that file? remember we already removed this list and re-created it so that file was created new before it gone down. The lists/LIST_NAME/digest.mbox file is where posts are collected for an eventual digest. When it reaches digest_size_threshold size or when cron/senddigests runs if digest_send_periodic is yes, it is used to create the digest and then removed. I.e., under usual circumstances, it is removed by Mailman every day. The issue is that there are known cases when a somehow malformed or badly encoded post has been posted and saved to digest.mbox, and this has stopped processing for that list. This is why I suggested moving it aside - i.e. moving it out of the lists/LIST_NAME/ directory to see if that allows the list's processing to resume. This would indicate the problem is a 'bad' post in digest.mbox.

It looks like you've had miltiple runners running for some time, however this is probably the result of attempts to correct the problems, not the cause of the problems. I.e., in the above case, it looks like there were two VirginRunners running until 18:16:03 on Jan 18 at which point one died and didn't restart perhaps leaving only one. In the future, try to get some information when the list is not working. If some, but not all qrunners have died, check the qrunner and error logs. Then if not all qrunners are running, first do 'bin/mailmanctl stop' to stop what's running, and only do 'bin/mailmanctl start' to resume after checking with ps to be sure all the Mailman processes have stopped. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for

I assume you are no longer getting errors from cron/checkdbs. What happens if you put the request.pck back and try to go to the admindb page for the list? Does this produce the error? If not, does it update the request.pck? If so, this may fix the problem. If none of this helps, or if you have a new request.pck with requests since removing the old one, you could try bin/dumpdb on the request.pck files to see what's in them, although I'm not sure how you would use this information if you couldn't use the files themselves. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Yes, they are. The file is a pickled dictionary with keys and values. The keys are generally numbers called msgids (not to be confused with email Message-Id:) and the values are 2-tuples consisting of an operation and data. There is a special key = 'version' with data (0, 1), i.e. operation = 0 and data = version number currently = 1. The rest of the keys are numeric and the operations are numbers as follows: 1 - held message 2 - subscription request 3 - unsub request The data varies according to the operation. For a held message, data is a 6-tuple consisting of time, sender, subject, hold reason, message filename and message metadata dictionary. For a sub, data is a 6-tuple consisting of time, address, full name, password, digest flag and language. For an unsub, data is just the address.

No. Matt If not, can anyone suggest another standard program that Matt would do the job?
