There are plans for a backend database in Mailman 2.2, but how 'near'
that future is is hard to say. See
.

There is currently, a MySQL MemberAdaptor for member data but not list
data. See
.
There is ongoing development of this. See

Any time you have problems like this, the first thing you need to 
do is to look at the log files to see what is being reported.  The 
problem is that, as a cPanel hosted list, you don't have access to 
those log files -- only your provider does.  The cPanel folks might 
also be able to help -- see the FAQ referenced above.

You can try the "troubleshooting" tips laid out in FAQ 3.14 at 
, 
but you're not going to be able to do all of these things, because 
your lists are hosted through cPanel.

Patrick gave a good hint, but with respect to the CGI wrappers and
--with-cgi-gid.

For the mail wrapper, run the command

path/to/mail/mailman post

The wrapper will check the invoking GID before the list so the absence
of the list in the command is OK. The output should tell you what
group(s) is/are expected. If it complains about the missing list arg,
you ran it as one of the expected groups.

That worked.

I don't think anything at all was working for the list.  I didn't 
think to try to subscribe or alter settings.

The "Discard all marked defer" appeared in 2.1.5. Also new in 2.1 is a
bin/discard script which would allow you to do something like

bin/discard data/heldmsg-listname-*

I don't know if this script can be easily adapted to 2.0.8 or not.

Good advice.  Also check your web server's error log (error_log in

Does anything work for this list?

All archives are created and maintained in the archives/private/
structure only. In addition, lists with public archives have a symlink
from archives/public/listname to archives/private/listname.

Any archive can be accesses via something like
http://example.com/mailman/private/listname/, but this requires
authentication even if the archive is public.

Public archives should be accessible via via something like
http://example.com/pipermail/listname/ (determined by
Defaults.py/mm_cfg.py setting PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL) which requires
something like

Alias /pipermail/ /usr/lib/mailman/archives/public/

in the web server configuration.

Actually, the wrappers do generate output if they fail. The lack of any
output from the command indicates a very, very high probability (I
hesitate to say certainty, but it's close) that the message was queued
in qfiles/in/. If nothing further happened, perhaps Mailman (or at
least IncomingRunner) isn't running (bin/mailmanctl start).

Maybe. In the first sentence you use 'foo' to refer to the list name.
In the unsubscribe command, you use it again, but here it is not the
list name (which is determined by the address you mailed to); it is
your list password.

It is also the password in the subscribe command, but here it sets the
password, so it can't be 'wrong'.

What happens in response to your mail to foo-request? You should always
get a reply.

[Mailman-Users] Cpanel mailing lists no longer working

[Farid Haibatan]

Hi,
I hope someone can point in the right direction to my
problem.
Basically, my mailing lists are no longer working. Any
mails sent are not delivered nor archived and users or
the administrator do not receive any error messages
either...not sure what has happened.
The mailman lists are created in cPanel and have been
working fine and some are more than 8 months old.
I created a new one today and tested it..I put myself
down as a member)...posted to it and same result.
Any help?

Thanks.

This is the right syntax. The cmd_unsubscribe handler looks like it
should be generating output unless you omit the password (in which
case it generates a confirmation). I'm not sure what else might be
going wrong, here.

Check the GID of the various scripts in cgi-bin. I believe this is
what's mainly effected. E.g., running the admin cgi-bin binary
manually gives:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/admin
Content-type: text/html


Mailman CGI error!!!

Mailman CGI error!!!
The Mailman CGI wrapper encountered a fatal error. This entry is being
stored in your syslog:

Group mismatch error.  Mailman expected the CGI
wrapper script to be executed as group "www-data", but
the system's web server executed the CGI script as
group "staff".  Try tweaking the web server to run the
script as group "www-data", or re-run configure,
providing the command line option `--with-cgi-gid=staff'.

I'm not sure that it matters that this match the old installation, though.

Sorry, must've overlooked that. As a list-ditch attempt (which is to
say, you might want to wait until other list members weigh in on the
issue), you might try removing and recreating the problematic list.

The problem may be with this list's config.pck. You might try
restoring it from the automatic backup (config.pck.last, IIRC).

Yes.  It said that a couple of the internationalization files had the

[Mailman-Users] Question about the configure script.

[Ryan Steele]

List,

I have a question about the options for the configure script.  I'm 
upgrading an installation of Mailman to 2.1.8, but I'm not sure what the 
previous sysadmin configured for the --with-mail-gid option.  He has 
apparently deleted the mailman- directory, leaving only the 
target installation directory in his wake.  Is there any other place 
besides the config.log that would yield the options fed to configure?  
If not explicitly, is there a way to extrapolate this simply from the 
installation directory?  Thanks in advance for your help.

Best Regards,
Ryan

[Mailman-Users] Not your usual "Premature end of script headers" email

[Mickey Chandler]

I finally have to admit defeat.

I'm helping a friend run a server and we've got Mailman 2.1.8 
installed.  There are probably two dozen lists running on the machine 
with sizes running anywhere from 5 to 3000 members.

All of a sudden, we can't log in to the admin page for one and only 
one of the lists.  We get the 500 Server Error page and the error log 
reads: "Premature end of script headers: admin"

The FAQ says that this should be a compile issue and that I should 
retry building things with the proper GID.  That tells me that 
logging in to any of the lists should cause the error.  But, it's 
just this one list.  And I've tried that already anyway.  The error 
is still there.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why I'd see this error one just one list?

Check your Apache configuration for where that URL is linking to, or
else use something like find or locate at the shell to find the html
files.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman archives

[Uthra Rao]

 From the admin web page of the list I am able to see the archives but if I 
login to the system and cd to /usr/lib/mailman/archives/public I don't see 
anything. I would like to know  in which directory it is archiving the 
messages?

Thank You.

I don't believe the mailman handlers generate console output, in any
case. Can you check your mailman logs? Specifically, error and vette.
But check all of them. On my system, they're in /var/log/mailman/.

So, what's the problem? Or am I missing something?
It seems like your archiving is working as it's supposed to, yes?

The only issue I see here is that the archives aren't where you think they are.

Is Mailman install set to archive?
('DEFAULT_ARCHIVE' -- This is 'On' in Defaults.py, but it might be
changed there (bad) or in mm_cfg.py (good, but still the problem, if

[Mailman-Users] Mailman archives

[Uthra Rao]

For my mailing list the archiving options are as follows:

Archive message -  YES
Is archive file source for Public or Private  -  PUBLIC
How often should a new archive volume be started  -  MONTHLY

This is the default setting and I did not change it. When I post a message 
to the mailing list the message is not getting archived in the 
/usr/lib/mailman/archives/public directory.

I created the archives/public directory and its owner/group is mailman. I 
am not sure why my message is not getting archived. Could someone please 
guide me on this?

Thank You.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman won't process requests properly?

[Ryan Steele]

List,

I successfully figured most of my problems out.  However, due to certain 
requirements, I've had to change my Mailman setup.  Instead of editing 
the Exim4 configuration file to include the router and transport 
stanzas, I simply put the aliases in the domain's alias file.  Here's my 
problem though:  Mail appears to be routed properly, but never arrives.  
I was pretty sure the problem isn't with Exim (I ran it in debug mode in 
the foreground just to be sure), so I decided to create a little test.  
I created a text file with some legitimate headers and executed this: 
"cat testing-mailman.message |/home/mailman/mail/mailman post 
listname".  No output was generated to stderr or stdout, and the message 
never got there.  The admin interface confirms that the list is okay and 
happily gives me the members.  Shown below is the little test file.  Any 
suggestions?

Thanks,
Ryan

Here's the test file:

testbox:/home/user1# cat testing-mailman.message
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2006 10:41:27 -0400

Patrick,

SUBSCRIBE foo [EMAIL PROTECTED]

or

UNSUBSCRIBE foo [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Are you sure he's sending from exactly [EMAIL PROTECTED] (And not
like, [EMAIL PROTECTED], or, alternatively, that you didn't
register [EMAIL PROTECTED] and he's sending from [EMAIL PROTECTED],
or that you didn't register something silly like [EMAIL PROTECTED])

See FAQ 3.28:

Basically, you send a blank email to -unsubscribe, it'll
send back a confirmation, you confirm, and then you're unsubscribed.
