[Mailman-Users] disabling delivery of emails and yet be able to post

2006-11-27 Thread Krishna Mohan Gundu
Hi,

I did not find an answer to this question in the FAQ. It beats me as
to why this feature has been ignored all this while.

I am an infrequent poster to many mailing lists powered by mailman. In
most cases, I am not interested in receiving neither digests nor
individual emails from the list, but yet on an occasional day I would
like to post to list. I check the archives on an irregular basis.

Turning off the delivery of emails unfortunately disables posting. So
I will have enable/disable each time before/after I want to post. Is
there a better way?

thanks,
Krishna.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Load-balancing mailman between two servers

2006-11-27 Thread Brad Knowles
At 3:03 PM +1100 11/27/06, Guy Waugh quoted Kim Hawtin:

  How/where do you share the incoming mail list aliases that sendmail checks?

  Also when you create a new list, how to you update the other hosts aliases?

  On each server, in the sendmail aliases file. So, when adding or
  removing a list, I have to do the alias changes on each of the two servers.

Hmm.  With postfix, you can specify multiple alias files, some of 
which will get auto-rebuilt as necessary by postfix, others which can 
get manually rebuilt by other processes (like by Mailman, with the 
standard tools it provides).

It's been a while since I mucked around with sendmail, but I have to 
believe that the same is possible there.  Indeed, I believe that the 
technique that is currently used to completely automate this process 
with postfix was adapted from the technique that previously worked 
only with sendmail.

You could put that second set of aliases in the NFS shared space, so 
that you shouldn't have to rebuild that separately on the two boxes.

  One thing I am a bit concerned about is contention on the shared files
  between the two servers. If, for example, both servers wanted to update
  the same .pck file at the same time, I'm not sure what would happen...
  would one server lock the file and the other server wait for the lock to
  be released, does anyone know? Or would chaos ensue?

The developers of Mailman have gone to great lengths to make the 
system as NFS-proof as possible.  That is to say, it should be 
possible to share the entire /usr/local/mailman structure via NFS (or 
wherever you put all the Mailman files, including archives, queue 
directories, etc...).  It should just work.

That said, file locking on NFS is problematic during the very best of 
times, and I believe that the Mailman developers have gone to great 
lengths to try to work around that.  But, by putting that stuff on 
NFS, you are increasing the chances that you'll run into a situation 
where you get lock contention, or maybe stale locks that will need to 
be cleared out.  You will increase the amount of system maintenance 
that you have to do -- that's simply unavoidable.

And a very great deal depends on your NFS server.  Putting all this 
stuff on NFS can cut your throughput that you can handle by a great 
deal -- orders of magnitude or more, and that's if you've got a 
high-end mega-expensive dedicated NFS fileserver from the likes of 
EMC, Auspex, or Network Appliance.  Just keep this in mind as you 
program for redundancy.


I'm not saying that you can't put things on NFS, or that it's even 
unwise.  I am saying that everything is a set of trade-offs, and 
you've got to understand what it is that you're trading for what.

This is not the way it works with any version of Mailman I have ever 
encountered.  In fact, I recommend that people do precisely this when 
they want to post from multiple different addresses to lists I 
administer, but where they want to receive only one copy of posts to 
the list.

What is it that you have seen that leads you to believe that this 
technique doesn't work?

[Mailman-Users] Old lists are working. New lists discard all messages. How to debug?

2006-11-27 Thread Brian Parish
I have a number of lists running happily, but a couple of new ones don't
want to play.  For testing purposes I subscribe myself to them and a
couple of other addresses.  All message sent to them from subscribed
addresses get automatically discarded.  I can see the discards in the
vette log, but that doesn't provide a reason why.  Do I need to turn on
verbose output or something to get a diagnostic that's meaningful?

Any settings in mm_cfg.py override the identical setting in
Defaults.py. So, if POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS is unset in
Defaults.py (or even set to 'foobarmonkey', for whatever reason), any
setting (correct, valid, or otherwise) of
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS in mm_cfg.py will be used, instead.

The rule of thumb is that you should never alter Defaults.py, since
this file can (and probably will) be overwritten during an upgrade of
Mailman. mm_cfg.py, however, will NOT be overwritten by Mailman's
installation scripts, so it's safe to put configuration data there.

 End original message. -

There is a comment right at the top of Defaults.py that says don't 
edit this file.

Anything you want to change goes into mm_cfg.py and will override 
values in Defaults.py

The reason for this is that Defaults.py gets rebuilt and overwritten 
when you do make install. mm_cfg.py does not get overwritten so it is 
the place your overrides for site specific options are supposed to go.

You should not make any changes in Defaults.py (see
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq04.021.htp
and other replies in this thread)

Your setting in mm_cfg.py overrides the default in Defaults.py, and
that's the way it should be.

So we're back to the original question. Please go back to
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2006-November/054347.html
and try to understand what I wrote there. As I said there, The fact
that you have nothing in virtual-mailman after running bin/genaliases
and/or creating lists indicates you have no lists whose host_name
attribute is in the POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS list.

Since POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS is apparently correct, the problem
is with the lists. This is because the various DEFAULT_*_HOST settings
and add_virtualhost directives are not correct in mm_cfg.py or weren't
when the lists were created. The post referenced above says more about
this.

I think there are just two ways this can happen.

1) You are 'moderated' and member_moderation_action is Discard.

2) Your post is seen as from a nonmember and either you are in
discard_these_nonmembers or generic_nonmember_action is Discard.

You can get more information in case 2) by setting
forward_auto_discards to Yes.

(All the above settings except your moderated bit are on Privacy

[Mailman-Users] ics / iCalendar attachments?

2006-11-27 Thread David Gibbs
Has anyone configured Mailman to allow ICS / iCalendar attachments?

I've added text/calendar to the pass_mime_types setting in content
filtering, but the ICS attachment was removed.

The full content of pass_mime_types is:

multipart/mixed
multipart/alternative
multipart/related
text/plain
text/html
text/calendar
application/pdf


Here's how the mime attachment was included for the ICS file (I mangled
it a bit to make sure it didn't get parsed) ...

[Mailman-Users] trying to access archives - access denied

2006-11-27 Thread Rachel Assuncao
Hello,

 


I am the manger for a couple of different lists that are relatively new.  It
has come to my attention in the last few days that our members are unable to
access the archives when they click on the archives link
(http://lists.genuinecontact.info/pipermail/genuinecontact/).  When you
click on the link, it takes you to a page that says Forbidden: You don't
have permission to access /pipermail/genuinecontact/ on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an
ErrorDocument to handle the request.


 

I don't have very much experience managing these things, and very little
technical understanding.  Does anyone have any ideas about how to resolve
this?

 

I've already checked the settings of the archives, and they are set to
archive messages, the archive file source is for public, and new archive
volumes should be set yearly.

 

Also, from the list management page, I can click on Edit List Archives and
it will take me to the archives for editing, but if I click on Go To List
Archives, I get the same message as above.

 

I feel like this should be something really easy to fix, but couldn't find
any reference in the help section available.  This is the same on all of the
lists I manage (6) so I am assuming it is a setting somewhere?

 

Thanks,

Rachel

You might want to run through Chapter 5 of the installation manual

It might be worthwhile to run check_perms, as well, although I'm not

Re: [Mailman-Users] trying to access archives - access denied

2006-11-27 Thread Rachel Assuncao
Thanks for the quick response Patrick.

I didn't install Mailman.  Our web host (Blue Genesis) offers Mailman as
part of their independent server package.  We create the mailing list
through their host control panel (Pleask) and then do all of the management
of it through the Mailman online mailing list administration.  They are the
ones responsible for installation, and I assume it is installed correctly,
if many of their clients are using it.

What is check_perms?

Thanks,
Rachel

Re: [Mailman-Users] mailman has just stopped sending out mail to allmailing lists

2006-11-27 Thread Dirk Koopman
I have reinstalled over the top of my installation. Doing a diff -u of
the source directory after a make and /usr/local/mailman produced
nothing of interest.

The make install has a large number of pointers differ in signedness
warnings

I did an 'unshunt' and here are some results

Some extracts from the logs:

The overall message above is multipart/alternative with a text/plain
subpart and a text/calendar subpart. Apparently, Microsoft Exchange
mails a calendar with a text/plain alternative for those mail clients
that don't understand the calendar in the same way as it might include
a text/plain alternative to a text/html message.

Since your content filtering options include collapse_alternatives =
yes, Mailman selects only the first alternative of those that remain
after initial filtering for delivery to the list. Thus the
text/calendar alternative is dropped in favor of the text/plain
alternative.

You have two choices:

1) teach Microsoft Exchange to send the calendar part only without the
text/plain alternative, or generate the message differently so it does
that, or

2) set collapse_alternatives = no, but this may have other, unwanted
effects.

Ok, that I can understand.

Maybe.  I'll have to experiment.

Re: [Mailman-Users] trying to access archives - access denied

Rachel Assuncao wrote:

I didn't install Mailman.  Our web host (Blue Genesis) offers Mailman as
part of their independent server package.  We create the mailing list
through their host control panel (Pleask) and then do all of the management
of it through the Mailman online mailing list administration.  They are the
ones responsible for installation, and I assume it is installed correctly,
if many of their clients are using it.

What is check_perms?


Not relevant to you in the above scenario. It is a Mailman command line
tool for checking permissions available only to those who have shell
access to the Mailman installation.

Can you access the archives via a url like
http://lists.genuinecontact.info/mailman/private/genuinecontact/?
This URL should look like those you use to access the list admin or
moderator interface except with 'private' instead of 'admin' or
'admindb'. This should get a login page and you should be able to log
in with either a list member's email address and list password or the
list admin password. If you can get to the archives this way, that
verifies the archives are OK, but there still could be a permissions
issue or a misconfiguration of theweb server for the
lists.genuinecontact.info domain.

Do you have access to the web server logs for this domain? If so,
what's in the error log for the 403 errors?

If all the MUA's send the text/calendar part with a text/plain
alternative, then what you need to do is 2).

The potentially unwanted effects I had in mind are that your current
settings accept both text/plain and text/html, but if a text/html part
has a text/plain alternative, only the text/plain part is sent to the
list. Setting collapse_alternatives = no will mean that in these
cases, both alternatives will be sent to the list in the original
multipart/alternative form. You may see this as neutral, positive or
negative.

 As one stat, one of my lists of 10,000 is usually completed within 24 mins.
 I usually drop all filter scans during that time, plus I use 20 separate
 mail queues (sendmail) so too many don't pile up in a single queue and has
 to start over delaying send-outs. These 2 things have affected my speed more
 than anything else -- except maybe a custom footer which I avoid using.

 Check the FAQ. 15,000-25,000 is only a moderately large mailing
 list, as far as Mailman is concerned.

  Has any of you done anything similar?

 Check the FAQ. There's lots of good stuff there.

I think the only things that would produce this are the compilations of
the wrappers, and I don't see that wrapper issues could cause the
problem you're having.

Did you do any kind of Python update just before things stopped working?

the above are not related to the shunting errors. These errors occur

Expected as the shunted queue entries are defective (the question is
how did they get that way).

You need to apply the workaround discussed at
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2006-September/053556.html
and then try to unshunt. The workaround will also allow new messages
to process OK.

These again relate to the sending issue, not the shunting issue, but
these two issues could be related at the Python level. Again, have
there been any Python changes?

Re: [Mailman-Users] trying to access archives - access denied

2006-11-27 Thread Rachel Assuncao
Hello Mark,

Thanks for the follow up.  I checked the link you provided, and yes, I can
access the archives that way.  So, it is good to know that the archives are
OK!

I've also been talking with our web host, who tried to help, couldn't, and
has now referred me to Pleask's service team for further follow up.

I have access to a variety of logs through Pleask's systems, but couldn't
find anything that referenced the error code, so maybe the logs I am able to
access aren't the right ones.

I didn't install Mailman.  Our web host (Blue Genesis) offers Mailman as

ones responsible for installation, and I assume it is installed correctly,
if many of their clients are using it.

What is check_perms?


Not relevant to you in the above scenario. It is a Mailman command line
tool for checking permissions available only to those who have shell
access to the Mailman installation.

Can you access the archives via a url like
http://lists.genuinecontact.info/mailman/private/genuinecontact/?
This URL should look like those you use to access the list admin or
moderator interface except with 'private' instead of 'admin' or
'admindb'. This should get a login page and you should be able to log
in with either a list member's email address and list password or the
list admin password. If you can get to the archives this way, that
verifies the archives are OK, but there still could be a permissions
issue or a misconfiguration of theweb server for the
lists.genuinecontact.info domain.

Do you have access to the web server logs for this domain? If so,
what's in the error log for the 403 errors?

[Mailman-Users] Change the Webinterface url

2006-11-27 Thread Stephan Jennewein
Hi,

how can I change the url to the webinterface of an already existing
list setup? Because I wanted to switch to https, but I don't see the
option for an existing setup. Every new list is working fine with the
new configuration in the mm_cfg.py but the old once doesn't care about
the changes.

Then all you need to do for the existing lists is run fix_url. See

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman and (really) large lists

Can you elaborate more? How to seperate the mail queues and drop the 
filter scans?

As one stat, one of my lists of 10,000 is usually completed within 24 mins.
I usually drop all filter scans during that time, plus I use 20 separate
mail queues (sendmail) so too many don't pile up in a single queue and has
to start over delaying send-outs. These 2 things have affected my speed more
than anything else -- except maybe a custom footer which I avoid using.

In parallel of this migration we have been ask to set up a very large

I was wondering how well would mailman cope with such a large list.
  

Check the FAQ. 15,000-25,000 is only a moderately large mailing
list, as far as Mailman is concerned.



Has any of you done anything similar?
  

Check the FAQ. There's lots of good stuff there.

Re: [Mailman-Users] I sent out a mailing, how can I know it's done or not?

2006-11-27 Thread Stanley Chen
When I read on the logs/smtp, many of the records said All recipients 
refused: (452, '4.4.5 Insufficient disk space; try again later'), but 
there are actually plenty of the disk space left in the server, why?

I usually look in ~mailman/qfiles/out and when I see 0, that's good enough

But, MM is through with its part.




Prior to Mailman 2.1.9, the entry would be removed from the 'out' queue
at the start of delivery to the MTA. For a large list, there could be
some time before delivery to the MTA is complete. Beginning with
2.1.9, there will be a .bak file in the 'out' queue while delivery to
the MTA is in process.

You can look in Mailman's 'smtp' log for the message-id smtp
for nnn recips, completed in tt.ttt seconds message. When that message
is logged, Mailman's delivery to the MTA is complete. Prior to the
logging of that message, there's no way to know how close to done
Mailman is.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Old lists are working. New lists discard allmessages. How to debug?

 I have a number of lists running happily, but a couple of new ones don't
 want to play.  For testing purposes I subscribe myself to them and a
 couple of other addresses.  All message sent to them from subscribed

 vette log, but that doesn't provide a reason why.  Do I need to turn on
 verbose output or something to get a diagnostic that's meaningful?
 


 I think there are just two ways this can happen.

 1) You are 'moderated' and member_moderation_action is Discard.

 2) Your post is seen as from a nonmember and either you are in
 discard_these_nonmembers or generic_nonmember_action is Discard.

 You can get more information in case 2) by setting
 forward_auto_discards to Yes.

 (All the above settings except your moderated bit are on Privacy
 options...-Sender filters)

   
Thanks Mark,

But:

1.  I am moderated, but member_moderation_action is hold

2.  If I switch off my moderation bit, the behavior is unaffected

3.  I am subscribed to the list under two addresses and sending from
either I get discarded

4. discard_these_nonmembers is blank and generic_nonmember_action
 is hold

5. forward_auto_discards is set to Yes, so I see the discards, but with no 
explanation as to why

Given point 4, I don't understand how mailman can do anything but hold the 
message for approval, whether I am correctly subscribed or not.  I am more than 
happy to provide admin access to this list if you feel like having a play.

thanks again
