Re: [Mailman-Users] HELPPPPPPPP !!!
well, thanks for your reply guys.. however it's been like reading chinese.. I didn't understand a thing except that this could be godaddy's SMTP relay thingy .. so I sent them a support request and asked them to fix it or else :P ah by the way, the daily limit is it 100,000 not 1,000 for I requested the daily limit to be increased and sent them info on my list and they agreed.. thanks again guys .. I'll let u know what godaddy will have to say about this .. see ya Ivan Van Laningham wrote: 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. Metta, Ivan Michael Kabot wrote: 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] Error - can't open aliases.db
Frustraiting! No aliases file in /var/lib/mailman/data/... it must be that the file in /etc/mailmain/ is the one (or at least it looks like the one) that the service should be using... Just a side note. I started python from the command line, and tried to 'from Mailman import *' and there is no module named Mailman (or) mailman... that seems to me like it could be a problem?! Recently I did a yum install of python-mysql, I wonder if that's related???

In a normal installation with Mailman/Postfix integration enabled via
MTA = 'Postfix'
in mm_cfg.py, the Mailman aliases are in Mailman's data/ directory. It
seems that you are manually putting Mailman aliases in /etc/aliases
and making the group of /etc/aliases* 'mailman' to get around group
mismatch errors. This should be OK, but why Postfix doesn't like/find
/etc/aliases.db is a Postfix question, not a Mailman question.
Just a side note. I started python from the command line, and tried to 'from
Mailman import *' and there is no module named Mailman (or) mailman... that
seems to me like it could be a problem?!
This is normal. Try Mailman's
bin/withlist -i
command or try
import sys
sys.path.append('/path/to/~mailman/')
or cd to ~mailman before starting Python before trying to import from
Mailman.
I.e., Mailman has to be in Python's search path and it isn't if you
just start Python in an arbitrary directory.

It sounds like you're using a Red Hat or Fedora packaged mailman. In those distros, mailman is patched to try and put the files in locations more in line with the FHS (for distro consistency and SELinux integration). This can be confusing if you're following the standard mailman docs or asking for help here. You can see a mapping of the standard locations to the changed locations in the INSTALL.REDHAT file. That way you can translate the advice you'll get here into what you need for your system.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman with remote smtp
I had sent an email to this list sometime ago with a question about using Mailman with a remote smtp server. I have managed to make this work with the following setup: webserver.foo.com is the Mailman webserver where lists are hosted and smtp.foo.com is the mailserver. Both machines have sendmail running on them. I have created a mail alias on smtp.foo.com for every list hosted on webserver.foo.com. fetchmail runs on webserver.foo.com and pops email from these accounts on smtp.foo.com and these mails are then posted to the lists based on aliases defined in /etc/alias on webserver.foo.com The problem is that this method is no at all scalable and portable. Is there a better way of doing this ? I am using a remote smtp server due to security issues. I do not want to open any ports on the webserver. However fetchmail requires running sendmail in daemon mode ( listening at port 25). Is there a good security solution if I decide to run an smtp server and the mailman webserver on the same machine ?

I have created a mail alias on smtp.foo.com for every list hosted on webserver.foo.com. A simpler way to set this up would be to use a different hostname for the mailing lists, and externally you advertise in the DNS that mail for this machine is handled on smtp.example.com. However, internally in the mail server configuration, you set it up to automatically forward everything it gets for lists.example.com over to webserver.example.com. This way you don't have to keep creating aliases on smtp.example.com for the various different mailing lists, but you still keep the same functionality. fetchmail runs on webserver.foo.com and pops email from these accounts on smtp.foo.com and these mails are then posted to the lists based on aliases defined in /etc/alias on webserver.foo.com You don't really need fetchmail in this process, although you can make it work -- obviously. The problem is that this method is no at all scalable and portable. Is there a better way of doing this ? Any time you talk about splitting these functions up, you're going to have some more work to do to maintain the whole system. However, one of the key ways to achieve higher scalability is precisely to split the functions up across multiple machines, so everything depends on *how* you split things up. I am using a remote smtp server due to security issues. What security issues? I do not want to open any ports on the webserver. Well, you're going to have a pretty hard time running a web server if you don't have any ports open. However fetchmail requires running sendmail in daemon mode ( listening at port 25). If that's true, then it's only needed on the localhost interface (IPv4 address 127.0.0.1). You can set things up so that it ignores all the other ports, and fetchmail should be fine passing things off to the copy that can only accept connections from the local machine. IMO, fetchmail should be able to be set up so that it can use a command-line instance of sendmail that doesn't require any ports to be opened. Of course, as I explained above, you shouldn't need fetchmail at all. Is there a good security solution if I decide to run an smtp server and the mailman webserver on the same machine ? What do you mean good security solution? This is the preferred method of setting up Mailman, and most sites run it this way. What problem do you have with that? -- Brad Knowles [EMAIL PROTECTED], Consultant Author LinkedIn Profile: http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu Slides from Invited Talks: http://tinyurl.com/tj6q4 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
