It seems my mailman installation doesn't have that file, it's not in the
bin directory and a "locate msgfmt.py" returns nothing... is there
somewhere I can grab it?

Thank you.

The replacement for the  tag is built on the fly by the
Mailman/Cgi/subscribe.py module. See that module for the English strings
involved. These strings are the keys for the pt_BR translations in
messages/pt_BR/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.po.

They are saved in files with names like spam-LISTNAME-NNN.msg in
Mailman's 'spam' directory which is located in Mailman's VAR_PREFIX
directory, i.e., at /usr/local/mailman/spam/ in a default install, but
may differ in your installation.

There is no Mailman web UI for accessing these messages.

[Mailman-Users] [Question] Where are the Moderated Messages?

[Oliver Niebuhr]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Good evening.

I have a Question:

I have moderated a Mail and used the Option "Keep Message for Moderator"
(or whatever the correct english Translation is).

Now i want to look into that Message as we want to Ban this person. But
i can not find it anywhere. Is there a hidden option to Access it??

I am only the Administrator of the List not the Server Admin. This is
handled by another Department.

Have i overseen something? Or is the Message gone forever as i dont have
it additionally forwarded to a specific address?

Thank You and Sorry for the bad english :)

I didn't get an autoresponse to this. Has anyone else seen one in reply

Moderators only have access to the "Pending Moderator Request" page.
>From there they can approve/reject/discard posts made to the list and
held. While they are doing this, they can also remove the moderation
flag from a user whose post has been held, or add non-subscribers to the
auto-approval or auto-reject lists or ban them from subscribing.

These are the powers of a moderator.

"Managing Subscriptions" is an administrator duty in Mailman.

[Mailman-Users] couple of questions...

[Ricardo Kleemann]

Hi guys,

I have a couple of questions:

1) What file would I modify to customize the text for the subscription
results? I'm looking to customize the text in another language (pt_BR) but
I can't find the text file. I do see the subscribe.html template and it
makes a mention to 

2) Is it possible to unsubscribe via the web in a similar fashion as using
the cgi-bin/subscribe method? I don't see an unsubscribe script under
cgi-bin

thanks

Hi,

There are many things that can break, depending on Mailman version
differences, other mods, etc., so make a good backup first.

Download a "diff" of the security-logging changes from this URL:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jimpop/mailman/security-logging/revision/1375?start_revid=1375

Copy the 1375_1374.diff file to your mailman/ home directory (the
directory containing Mailman/ bin/ cron/ scripts/ etc), and then apply
it with this command:

patch -p0 -b -V numbered < 1375_1374.diff

You will need to restart mailman afterwards, and then check
mailman/logs/errors (for any errors) and check to make sure
mailman/logs/security exists.  Then try a few failed login attempts on
one of your lists.

Hth,

-Jim P.

[Mailman-Users] adding a security log

[renaud courvoisier]

Hi all,
I just see the useful mailman fail2ban jail posted bu jimpop : 
https://code.launchpad.net/~jimpop/mailman/security-logging 

But I don't figure out how to add a mailman security log which will 
contain Authentication Failure entries,

and a web search don't return anything.

Can someone explain me how to do that ?
Thanks a lot.

[Mailman-Users] Google Groups Migration API?

[Joseph Brennan]

I wonder if anyone on this list can share a script to migrate Mailman 
archives to a Google group using the Groups Migration API announced about a 
year ago.


I'm actually looking to move mbox files made by 2 or 3 other software 
packages, but, same solution should work.

...I should have clarified: Her key problem seems to be moving from a 
screen where she used her Moderator password to successfully log in, to 
the "administrator interface". It asks her for the administrator password.


How is she supposed to manage subscriptions if she can't log in to the 
administrator interface?

Your user didn't email the list, but the bounce address of the list.
Tell him to use the proper email address without "-bounce" in the name part.

That message should normally only go to the list admin, you say HE got
it, is he an admin?

Was it a bounce message (attached)? IF so, what does the bounce message
say was the problem?

If not, did they send the message to listname-bounces instead of listname?
