Re: [Mailman-Users] Footer not being appended to messages in 2.1.10

Hello all,

I've been running mailman 2.1.10 on FreeBSD 6.2 for quite some time now 
and I just recently noticed that the default footer (msg_footer) is not 
being appended to all the messages.  Is there something else that needs 
to be set/enabled to turn this on?  I've searched for this problem and 
I've found nothing so I'm kind of assuming that I'm missing a setting 
somewhere.


I figured out what was going on here.  This was due to my still using 
the deprecated "Sendmail" DELIVERY_MODULE.  I switched to "SMTPDirect" 
and everything is peachy now.


On a related note, is there any plan to possibly fix/rewrite the 
Sendmail module.  The reason I was using it in the first place is 
because it was much easier in terms of integration with my system since 
using the sendmail binary for outgoing mail bypasses all the post-queue 
content filtering and such that goes on on my server.


On the flipside, setting up SMTPDirect with postfix was just a matter of 
adding an smtpd entry in master.cf that only listens on localhost and 
just permits.  However, it would still be nice to *realistically* have 
an option.

Yes, it was

This gave me the solution. The action url was referring to http://... 
but I had apache configured to redirect http to https using


Redirect 301 / https://bla

Mailman of course didn't know this so it didn't use https://

First I fixed it by turning off the Redirect, and then I re-enabled 
Redirect and changed mm_cfg.py's setting of DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN. I had 
to run this command for it to take effect:


   /usr/lib/mailman/bin/withlist -l -r fix_url

It seems to be working fine now.

Thanks very much for the help!

See the FAQ at .

Assuming that FAQ is correct about where things are located and cPanel
hasn't broken things too badly, try

/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/list_lists

If that is what you ran, then there is no
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/paths.py file. That file needs
to be there for any of the /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/
commands to run. If it isn't there, there might be one in
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/cron which you could copy to
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/

[Mailman-Users] Using CLI to admin

2009-12-01 Thread Cameron Smith 
I am tasked with removing a mailman list using CLI on a cpanel install.

When I run the list_lists command in bin I get this:

# python list_lists
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "list_lists", line 44, in ?
import paths
ImportError: No module named paths


How can I get a list of the lists to then proceed to using rmlist?

Thank you,
Cameron

It does. I keep meaning to write a patch to fix that, as it annoys me
quite a lot.

The symlinks are part of making the package adhere to Debian Policy,
istr.

One of the PPA packagers is onlist (although maybe the dev list), ISTR.

Possibly, but not too likely.

You should run 'check_perms -f' as root until the problems are fixed,
but there is one caveat. I think the Debian package installs a number
of symlinks and check_perms doesn't do well with symlinks. It checks
the ownership and mode of the symlink itself and finds a problem. It
then tries to fix the problem, but this fixes the target, not the
symlink. So, it will continue to report problems with the permissions
of the symlink even though there are really no problems.

reload the same page or what?

Is it correct? Is it something that the web server redirects? Is it
the same as that on the admin pages except for 'admindb' instead of
'admin'?

There is some problem retrieving these sigs from gnu.org via http. It
may be a browser issue or a web server issue at ftp.gnu.org.

In a quick test,I was unable to download the above URL with several
browsers, but I was able to successfully get it with Opera 10.10 and
also from the command line with both wget and curl.

I was also able to successfully get it with the failing browsers from

[Mailman-Users] web interface permissions ?

2009-12-01 Thread Thomas Andrews 

Hi,

On a newly installed mailman setup, the "Submit All Data" button has no 
effect in the page "Tend to pending moderator requests". It doesn't 
matter if I select 'Accept' 'Reject' or 'Discard', the effect is the 
same - nothing.


On other admin pages I can do anything I want - add users, change 
defaults, etc, etc...


I'm wondering if this is a permissions issue?

I've checked /var/log/apache/* and /var/log/mailman/* plus the usual 
syslog files for errors, and I can't see anything obviously wrong.


This is pretty much a standard debian install with two lists: one 
'mailman' list and another.


I'm using mailman with Exim and had to make some small changes as 
suggested in the docs to get it to work, and the SMTP side of it seems 
to be perfectly fine - I just can't do things like discarding messages 
from non-members.


dpkg -l mailman gives me this:

ii  mailman  1:2.1.12-3 Powerful, web-based mailing list manager

Running "check_perms" gives me lots of permissions errors, but it was 
like that before I touched any of the config files, so I'm wondering if 
anyone else has had to fix this problem to get the mailman deb to work 
properly.


Many thanks,
Thomas
