[Mailman-Users] Questions about Mailman set-up and configuration.

[JRC Groups]

Hello, all.


I am setting up a few mailing lists in Mailman and have some questions. The
following is a post found in one of Apple's discussion forums:

> The answer is yes, but I would like to warn you about using pre-release
> mailman software that Apple shipped with Server 10.6.x. The moderator

Does anyone know if the latest updates for Snow Leopard Server have
addressed these problems by updating Mailman's software that is part of it ?

Also, what is the difference between creating and managing lists using Snow
Leopard Server's interface and Mailman's web interface ? Are there features
that are only available on one or the other ?

Thanks,


Joe

Normally, I would assume 2.1.4 was a typo and you really mean 2.1.14,
but see below.

I assume here you mean no *error* messages. There should be a fair
amount of *normal* output.

Apparently, your Python version is 2.6 or later. The first Mailman
version that is compatible with Python 2.6 is Mailman 2.1.12. See the
FAQ at .


The current version is 2.1.14. Please download Mailman 2.1.14 and try
again. See .

[Mailman-Users] Problem building Mailmn 2 1 4

[lists . mailman-users]

Hello,

I'm trying to intake Mailman 2.1.4 on my SlackWare 13.0 system.
I configure it with
  "./configure
--prefix=/opt/mailman --with-mail-gid=mailman --with-cgi-gid=www"
and see no messages there.
But when I do a "make install" i see:
  "Creating architecture independent directories...
   ...
Compiling /opt/mailman/Mailman/versions.py ...
bin/update:37: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib 
instead
  import md5
/opt/mailman/Mailman/Utils.py:32: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is 
deprecated; use the hashlib module instead
  import sha
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bin/update", line 48, in 
from Mailman import MailList
  File "/opt/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 49, in 
from Mailman.Archiver import Archiver
  File "/opt/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/__init__.py", line 17, in

  File "/opt/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 31, in

import mailbox
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/mailbox.py", line 19, in 
import email.message
ImportError: No module named message
make: *** [update] Error 1"
What's happening? As I am no C programmer, I don't know what to do.

Thanks for any useful help,

Regards,

Hans.
