NewsRunner processes the 'news' queue and is responsible for delivery
from Mailman to the news group.

There is a cron called gate_news which is normally configured to run
every 5 minutes which gets the newsgroup postings and posts them to
Mailman. It seems that is not running.

Do other cron jobs run, e.g. the daily reminder of moderator requests
waiting, periodic digests, monthly password reminders, reminding and
ultimately deleting bouncing members?

If the other jobs are running, perhaps Mailman's crontab was edited and
the gate_news job removed. If the other jobs are not running, perhaps
Mailman's crontab was deleted or crond is not running.

No, but I did use Debian rather than Fedora because it's a leaner more
stripped down basic distribution for servers.  In my experience, even if
you tell the Fedora installer you want a server installation, it installs
hundreds of programs you never use and many memory hog daemons.

It seems your vserver provider sold you a pretty braindamaged product.
I run most of my things on the Linux vserver, which is effectively
invisible.

In case you're stuck with that provider, you might try installing lighttpd
instead of Apache, which has a lower memory footprint.

It seems that I'm charging too little. I thought 5 EUR/month for
a Linux VServer was a reasonable deal. You can get a dedicated
hardware server for some 30 EUR/month, so perhaps I would switch
providers.

[Mailman-Users] Newsgroup interface - upload to mailman not working

2007-03-17 Thread David Beaumont
We interface to a newsgroup, details:

"The hostname of the machine your news server is running on. 
news.annexcafe.com
 
The name of the Usenet group to gateway to and/or from. 
annexcafe.dba.bargemain"

Emails are transferred to the newsgroup OK.  Until September last year
newsgroup postings were picked up by mailman and distributed as emails.
However since then that bit has stopped working, any ideas why?  Our
supplier says the newsrunner process is running.  

Thanks

David
