[Mailman-Users] smtp-failure: 'Addres family was not recognized or address length wasinvalid'

2008-02-13 Thread Rameš Vladislav
Hi,

I tried to run mailman 2.1.9 with postfix 2.0.16 on Alpha TRU64 UNIX 5.1A.
Unfortunately, when I tried to subscribe to my test conference, I got this 
errors to smtp-failure file:

...
Feb 12 16:57:08 2008 (250559) delivery to root[at]t2.pvt.cz failed with code 
-1: (5, 'Addres family was not recognized or address length was invalid.') Feb 
12 16:57:08 2008 (250559) Low level smtp error: (5, 'Addres family was not 
recognized or address length was invalid.'), msgid:

12 17:00:02 2008 (250559) Low level smtp error: (5, 'Addres family was not 
recognized or address length was invalid.'), msgid:

In Postfix maillog subscriptions looks like "send":

When I tried mailman with sendmail, result was the same (the same error 
messages in smtp-failure file). 

Sending and receiving e-mails to/from users on this server (t2.pvt.cz) works 
properly.

I tried to find in conferences error message "Addres family was not recognized 
or address length was invalid." with "mailman", but withouth usable result.

What I doing wrong, have you any tips, please?

[Mailman-Users] RFC: X-Archive header fields

2008-02-13 Thread Richard Hartmann
Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone would think X-Archive-Thread and
X-Archive-Mail would make sense. They could point the user to the
permanent archive location of both the thread and the email they are
reading. This would be useful beyond mailing lists, for example ticket
systems could use this as well.

Has this been done and abandoned? Is this viable? Would _you_ want to
use it?

And yes, I am aware of the possible abuse for spam if this were widely
implemented. Whitelists and other mechanisms could help there, though.


Best regards,
Richard

P.S.: I am not fixed on those names, they just make sense, to me.

[Mailman-Users] Update member's fullname

2008-02-13 Thread Fabiano Caixeta Duarte
Hi folks!

I realized that there are scripts for automating creation, deletion end 
listing of list's members.

How can I update (actually insert) member's fullname in batch mode?

I have a file which contains member's fullname and e-mail address. 
Members were added to mailman with any names associated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Richard,

Please see RFC 5064: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5064.txt

We'll very likely support this in Mailman 3.0 and 2.2.  See also this  
discussion:

http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Stable+URLs

although the details are still in flux.  Further discussion of this  
header should probably occur on mailman-developers.

Cheers,
- -Barry

Brad has responded to the Plesk/provider issues, and I have nothing to
add to that.

I only want to say that yes, something is terribly wrong, but from your
description, the outside mail is not even reaching Mailman, and this
is most likely to be a problem involving network, DNS and MTAs rather
than Mailman itself.

These errors are reported from the outgoing MTA to Mailman when Mailman 
tries to send a message (in this case to root[at]t2.pvt.cz).

These log entries are the delivery of posts to Mailman and represent 
sucessfull deliveries despite the warnings.

Which indicates that the outgoing MTA Mailman is talking to is neither 
sendmail nor Postfix.

It is not a Mailman message. It comes from the MTA.

Have you redefined SMTPHOST and/or SMTPPORT in mm_cfg.py. If not, 
Mailman is trying to send via SMTP to 'localhost' port 25. What happens 
if you 'telnet localhost 25'? What MTA answers?

AFAIK, the RFC authors are not on mm-dev.  I've been meaning to  
contact them too.  If you do, please invite them to contact us so that  
we can work with them on practical issues.

I will file wishlist items against KMail and Alpine to make them aware.

Are the authors of the RFC subscribed to MM-dev or should I poke them
elsewhere? It reads good, but the support for single message and full thread
is missing or hack-ish to implement, depending on what route people would
go.

The CGI process is being denied sufficient memory for Python to load
the date from lists//request.db.

My best guess is this file is huge and there are many held messages for
this list.

Look in Mailman's data/ directory for files named heldmsg--*.
If there are lots, delete some of the oldest ones with

  bin/delete data/heldmsg...

Use bin/delete instead of just rm so that they will also be removed
from request.db.

If you can't get request.db down to a manageable size in this way, you
may just have to rm it and start over, but this will lose all current
requests from the admindb interface.

There was only one message
-rw-rw-r--   1 mailman  mailman 2295 Feb 12 17:39 heldmsg-net- 
avengers-3.pck

and the request.db was rather small.
-rw-rw-r--   1 mailman  mailman  119 Oct 10 12:54 request.db

I decided to check all the lists. There were about a dozen heldmsg  
files and all the lists request.db
are small in size. I did notice that 10 of the lists request.db file  
was not owned by mailman. I'll change the
owner back to mailman and get rid of all the heldmsg. Nobody else has  
reported any problems, so maybe
it'll go away.

I got rid of all the heldmsg w/o any problems, until I got to the one  
in question.
Discarding that heldmsg returned this error.

I have no bin/delete. I'm guessing you meant bin/discard.

Set the hostname for the listserver in mm_cfg.py to something like 
'lists.example.com', and add an A record in your DNS to point this 
subdomain to your IP address?

[Mailman-Users] Configure mailman for hosted e-mail...

2008-02-13 Thread Dov Oxenberg
Hi,
Our new web site and e-mail are currently being hosted by Network Solutions.
In our office I have a machine running Debian Lenny (stable) which at the 
moment is exclusively a fax Server but I am considering installing the Mailman 
package if I am confident I can get it to work in my scenario.
Being our e-mail is being hosted by Network Solutions, how would I go about 
configuring this machine to act as a List Server associated with our Domain 
name?
In other words, this Debian box is running in our office with a DSL connection 
to the Internet.  Our mail is being hosted by Network Solutions. How can I make 
the Network Solutions mail Serve "aware" of my list Server?
Thanks!
Dov
