[Mailman-Users] central location for /pythonlib/* for multiple installations

[Bretton Vine]

Apologies if I've ignored something obvious here, but with 6 mailman 
installations (all upgraded to 2.1.9 with a patched sourced) I've found 
discrepancies in the version of

  mailman/pythonlib/email/Utils.py

between the different installations. One installation kept causing the 
problems with attachments with an apostrophe or other oddities (i.e. 
filename..pdf) etc. Given that for a minority of lists /all/ content must be 
accepted this isn't on. Exim accepts the messages, delivers to mailman and 
then they just sit in

  mailman/qfiles/in/*.pck

Even running unshunt doesn't help much. A reboot did though.

Can I run multiple installations of mailman but refer to on single location 
of the pythonlib/* files for all installations? This would prevent the 
different file sizes and content that seems to have cropped up.

  i.e. over 6 MM installs all copies of Utils.py are different sizes, some
   the same dates, others not

Given that this affects 250+ lists it's an important issue I need 
clarification on before experimenting.

thanks in advance.

[Mailman-Users] Changing the From field displayed to the user

[Henrik Rasmussen]

My Mailman list server is currently called
mailman.fullqualified.domain.name and this is reflected by the From
field in the mails sendt by the listsserver (From: root
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 ). Instead I want to change the
displayed host name to list.fullqualified.domain.name in the e-mail
From: field and the webinterface.
 
Changing myhostname in the /etc/postfix/main.cf (and restarting the
Postfix server) does not work.
Changing mydomain in the /etc/postfix/main.cf (and restarting the
Postfix server) does not work.
myorigin is already set to $myhostname, so changing this would probably
not change anything either.
 
My colleague and I have read several documents, but until now we have't
found out anything usefull (in means of changing the From field).
 
Also I am uncertain whether I am suppose to make changes to the Mailman
configuration or the Postfix configuration in order to change the From
field, and there in which configuration file the changes should be made.
 
How can I set this up so the server appear as
list.fullqualified.domain.name?
 
Regards Henrik Rasmussen

I don't know why your installations were not all upgraded to email
2.5.8 when you upgraded to 2.1.9, but they should have been.

That is fixed in email 2.5.8

unshunt only handles messages in qfiles/shunt. It wouldn't affect
qfiles/in. However, I also don't understand the messages just sitting
in the 'in' queue. I seems that IncomingRunner died, which IIRC is not
the symptom of the 'apostrophe in attachment filename' issue.

Yes. In each installation there are copies of paths.py in the bin,
cron, scripts and tests directories. Each of these contains the
following section


# We also need the pythonlib directory on the path to pick up any
overrides of
# standard modules and packages.  Note that these must go at the front
of the
# path for this reason.
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(prefix, 'pythonlib'))


In each paths.py in each installation, replace

sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(prefix, 'pythonlib'))

with

sys.path.insert(0, '/path/to/the/one/pythonlib'))

but the real issue is why didn't your 2.1.9 upgrade process install the
right email library in pythonlib in the first place.

If I understand the issue correctly, see
.

You want

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'list.fullqualified.domain.name'

and you also need to run fix_url as mentioned in the FAQ or just change
the host_name attribute on each list's General Options page.

I'll let Richard respond to the above if he wants to, but for a 
different approach to sendmail alias automation, see

[Mailman-Users] Change Mailman Installer owner

[Kory Wheatley]

I didn't know what list to seen this to because it's kind of an 
in-between question/help.


I currently I'm running Mailman 2.1.6 and want to upgrade to Mailman 
2.1.9.  I'll do the basic procedure of ./configure and make install, but 
I what to change the owner of the installer of Mailman and install it 
with a different user.


Currently I installed mailman under an account callled wheakory and now 
I want to configure Mailman under mailmgmt.  Would the following 
procedure work:


First shutdown mailman
change ownership or group with:  find . -user wheakory -exec chown 
mailmgmt {} \; find . -group wheakory -exec chgrp mailmgmt {} \;

Login as mailmgmt
cd to mailman-2.1.9
./configure (with our current parameters set)
make install
start mailman

Mailman-Users is appropriate.

Normally, changing the group shouldn't be required as the group should
be 'mailman' (or whatever the mailman user is) on virtually everything.

Also, it wouldn't hurt to run bin/check_perms (and if necessary,
'bin/check_perms -f' as root) between 'make install' and start mailman.

[Mailman-Users] [Fwd: archive emails are garbled]

[Justin Zygmont]

Is one of the other lists a better place to ask this?


 Original Message 
Subject: archive emails are garbled
Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2006 13:38:57 -0700
From: Justin Zygmont <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: mailman-users@python.org

I have a noticed a problem with emails stored in the list archives if
they have been uuencoded.  When HTML emails are distributed to all the
list members they just show the raw HTML code, so I used uuencode and it
fixed that, but when I take a look at the message in the archives it
looks mostly garbled.  Here's an example:

begin 644 AgentCommissions.html
M/"%$3T-465!%($A434P at 4%5"3$E#("(M+R]7,T,O+T141"!(5$U,(#0N,#$@

Anyone know if there is a better way to deal with this?

Probably not. Did you see the reply to your original post at
