Re: [Mailman-Users] Error - can't open aliases.db
Check to see if the soft links are there. I just went through the rmlist command yesterday and gave up and did it manually. I should have paid more attention to the obvious errors. I found that my legacy soft links were not in /etc/mailmain. I've migrated my data so many times through different OS's, that I messed that up. I think it would work now if I had to.

Re: [Mailman-Users] HELPPPPPPPP !!!
Hi All-- It doesn't have much to do with GoDaddy, unless the OP typoed 1,000 when he wrote 100,000 ;-) Assuming the limit is indeed 100,000, then this is a qmail problem. Qmail needs to be tuned. I don't remember the exact figures I used, but the default settings are teeny and need to be raised. Google qmail limits and you should find what to change. Log locations on a dedicated server aren't in standard places. Here's a few (sorry for the wrap): /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog (Qmail log) /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qstat (View the amount of messages currently in your outbound queue) /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qread (List out all messages in your outbound queue) find /var/qmail/queue -name | xargs cat | less (Read the entire contents of an email, including headers, where is the ~8 digit ID specified on the /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qread command) Between the logs and tuning qmail, the OP should get massively better throughput with few delays (and the ones that are left are due entirely to GoDaddy, not qmail). I've never used cpanel, but Plesk isn't bad for what it does. It's just figuring out what it does that's the hard part.

Re: [Mailman-Users] HELPPPPPPPP !!!
Also being a GoDaddy Dedicated Server customer, I would say it may have NOTHING to do with Mailman... You don't really have your own SMTP server at GoDaddy - you go through their SMTP relay. I have found that on some days email goes out instantly, on others it gets delayed for hours. Also, if you are a new GoDaddy customer you probably have a "watch" filter set on your account to verify you are not spamming - this may slow things down too. I would check your logs and see when emails are sent to the SMTP relay, this will tell you how Mailman is doing. Delivery time is not an accurate reflection of what Mailman is/isn't doing. What server admin application are you using: Cpanel or Plesk? You also may want to check your mail queue to see if anything is stuck there.

Re: [Mailman-Users] HELPPPPPPPP !!!
You may want to check how the mailing list was setup. If it was setup to use digests, then depending on the digest that was setup, it may be an hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly digest. Meaning that X number of users are delivered the message at the intervals that I mentioned. You can check this under the "Digest Options" in the Admin panel of the list. Page 11 of the Admin Manual explains the Digest option in greater detail that, more than likely, explains it better than I just did. -Jeff On Jul 12, 2007, at 6:29 PM, balligho wrote: > > hello all.. > > after warmn wlecomes I would like to say : PLEASE HELP ! > > I have purchased a dedicated server from godaddy.com, celeron 2000 > 1 GB Ram > bla bla bla ..

[Mailman-Users] G'day from Darwin
Hi - I hope you can help me. Our previous product manager installed Mailman and set up some mailing lists. One list I am trying to use keeps defaulting to another and I cannot work out why. The people who knew how to work all this have left and I am really struggling to sort out what to do but I am not a technical person. I have successfully sent out several simple updates to 2 other lists. The list I am trying to send to has 59 addresses - the list it defaults to is an in-house staff list. Can you pls help me solve the problem?? Many thanks in anticipation.
