[Mailman-Users] Problem with help2man update

2011-03-01 Thread Bill Christensen
Attempting to do updates tonight, I ran into problems with upgrading
help2man.  I was able to manually update most other ports.  The log for
help2man says:

:info:configure configure: error: perl module Locale::gettext required
:info:configure shell command  cd
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_textproc_help2man/work/help2man-1.38.4
 ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --enable-nls  returned error 1
:error:configure Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure:
shell command failed (see log for details)
:debug:configure Backtrace: configure failure: shell command failed (see log
for details)


port installed shows (among many others):

gettext @0.18.1.1_0
gettext @0.18.1.1_2 (active)
help2man @1.38.2_0 (active)
p5-locale-gettext @1.05_3 (active)

and port outdated shows:

The following installed ports are outdated:
help2man   1.38.2_0  1.38.4_0
ghostscript9.00_4  9.01_0
ImageMagick6.6.6-3_0  6.6.7-8_0

I'm hoping I don't have to go in and hack the port file for the two ports
that are dependent on help2man so that they're looking for 1.38.2_0 instead
of 1.38.4_0.  Any better solutions?

Thanks.

[Mailman-Users] Remove from All Lists

2011-03-01 Thread David Andrews
Is there a command-line command to remove a given user from any and 
all lists he/she might be subscribed to -- without knowing all of 
those lists?  If so -- what is it?  Thanks!


Dave

[Mailman-Users] Mailman limit

2011-03-01 Thread Harley Stevens
Hi,

I have an issue that I can't find an answer for on the wiki.

Is there a limit on how many users can be part of the mailing list group?
I'm running a Mac OS X 10.6 server that uses mailman and when I send mail via 
the mailing list to a group with 200+ users they keep getting multiple copies 
of the email ( up to 50 copies).
I have to kill the mail system otherwise it would keep sending more copies.

I have created a new mailing list with the same users and it does exactly the 
same thing.

Thanks in advance,
Harley

[Mailman-Users] bilingual list problem

2011-03-01 Thread Henry Olders
I'm in Canada, which as you probably know is an officially bilingual (english 
and french) country. I am attempting to set up some mailman discussion lists, 
with bilingual footers for the messages. These are on my web hosting service, 
dreamhost.com. 
Unfortunately, when I have US english set as the default language, mailman 
strips out all the accented characters in the french portion of the footer. 
Using french as the default language prevents this from happening, but most of 
my list administrators want english for their admin pages.
What I would like would be a way to set mailman to NOT strip out accented 
characters when english is set as the default language. Alternatively, is there 
a way to have the admin pages open in english when the default language is 
french?
Thank you for your help!
Henry

Add one of the following lines to mm_cfg.py depending on your preferred
character set

add_language('en', 'English (USA)','utf-8')

or

add_language('en', 'English (USA)','iso-8859-1')

There shouldn't be, but it is possible to misconfigure things between
Mailman and the MTA such that things don't work well when lists have
too many members.


I'm running a Mac OS X 10.6 server that uses mailman


So maybe this is an issue for Apple?


and when I send mail via the mailing list to a group with 200+ users they keep 
getting multiple copies of the email ( up to 50 copies).
I have to kill the mail system otherwise it would keep sending more copies.

I have created a new mailing list with the same users and it does exactly the 
same thing.


What do you see in various logs such as the MTA's logs and Mailman's
smtp and smtp-failure logs?

My first guess is that the MTA is actually accepting some or all
recipients of the message but is returning some status to Mailman
indicating a retryable failure. If you have invalid local addresses on
the list, this could be related to http://bugs.python.org/issue5713.

In any case, I suggest setting

SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 10

in mm_cfg.py and restarting Mailman. That may help

On the other hand, if by kill the mail system you mean Postfix and
not Mailman, then this may not be a Mailman issue at all.
