[Mailman-Users] There are no pending requests
The Mailman web page to approve messages held for approval always has the message: There are no pending requents, even when there are messages in /var/lib/mailman/data/heldmsg-mynewlist-1.pck Running Mailman 2.1.15 under Debian Wheezy with a new list that has never existed on any local machine. 1) Mail that does not require approval is posted to the list normally. 2) All web pages with the exception of the one below function normally. 3) Mail from moderated subscribers produces the usual notice to the list admin, but when the page: http://myserver.net/cgi-bin/mailman/admindb/mynewlist is visited, this message appears: There are no pending requests. Click here to reload this page. Reloading the page makes no difference. I tried the hold_again script from here: http://fog.ccsf.edu/~msapiro/scripts/ When the hold_again script is run, this is the result: root@ /usr/lib/mailman/bin# ./hold_again -n -v -l mynewlist Requeueing message from file heldmsg-mynewlist-1.pck The held message is in the data directory: root@:/var/lib/mailman/data# ls -l -rw-r- 1 root list 41 May 3 2013 adm.pw -rw-rw 1 root list 1997 Nov 6 2012 aliases -rw-rw 1 list list12288 Nov 6 2012 aliases.db [...] -rw-rw-r-- 1 list list 775 Mar 25 16:11 heldmsg-mynewlist-1.pck [...] -rw-rw-r-- 1 root list 10 Jul 13 2012 last_mailman_version -rw-r--r-- 1 root list14100 Jun 16 2012 sitelist.cfg -rw-rw 1 root list 1831 Nov 6 2012 virtual-mailman -rw-rw 1 list list12288 Nov 6 2012 virtual-mailman.db The hold_again command results in a new notice to the list admin re the held message, but revisiting the web page shows the same There are no pending requests message. Responding via email to the list admin message with an Approved: listadminpswd header results in a copy of the sent message being sent to the list admin, but no action re the held message; it's still held, with the same timestamp. The server is running apache 2.4.6-3. The mailman.conf file in /etc/apache2/sites-available has: # Sample configuration for Debian mailman with Apache # We can find mailman here: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/mailman/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/ # And the public archives: Alias /pipermail/ /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/ # Logos: Alias /images/mailman/ /usr/share/images/mailman/ # Use this if you don't want the cgi-bin component in your URL: # In case you want to access mailman through a shorter URL you should enable # this: #ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/ # In this case you need to set the DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN in # /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py to http://%s/mailman/ for the cookie # authentication code to work.

[Mailman-Users] handler to auto detach attachment and link it to a website?
Hi, I've a project to setup a mailman for newsletter. I've found many interesting links about it. I will post them as a reminder at the end of this message, as it can help someone else. My question is: Is there any handler that I can setup in the pipeline to: * detach an attachment * post it to a webservice (or run a script uploading it to an online storage) * modify the content of the mail, linking it to the online stored attachment ? Or a good base to program it. The goal to achieve, is to permit restricted sender to write mail with attachment but do not replicate it to all member of the list. Also for non technical writer, uploading the attachment and linking may be too painful. Regards, Sylvain.

Possibly the link or URL you are following/visiting to get to the admindb interface for this list is somehow accessing a different Mailman installation. Possibly there is some other issue with this list's request.pck or pending.pck in the /var/lib/mailman/data/mynewlist/ directory. Is there anything in Mailman's 'error' log? Do the scripts at http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/list_pending when run with the -m option and http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/list_requests show the held message? The -1 in heldmsg-mynewlist-1.pck is curious as this number should increment with each new held message. -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] building a new mailman server
We are currently running an old mailman instance and am planning to bring up the newest version of mailman and migrate to it. Current system uses sendmail. Since I now have a chance to change things, what is the best mail server to run on my mailman box? It will be talking to an exchange 2010 frontend server (current mailman system is doing that now). I can install sendmail or go with postfix or ??? This is running on a debian box.

Re: [Mailman-Users] building a new mailman server
It seems the 3 most popular MTAs are sendmail, Exim, and Postfix. All do the job well if you're running just a standard install of mailman without much fuss. sendmail is still widely used, and if I were you, I'd just stick with what works unless you have you a particular need that sendmail wasn't filling.

Disclaimer: I am not an MTA expert. This is all personal opinion based on possibly limited experience. I would go with either Postfix or Exim. Both integrate well with Mailman; http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html and http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node12.html. I have used both in Mailman environments, but Exim only in a Mailman development environment, Postfix both in development and on a production server handling both Mailman and other mail. My impression is that if you want to do esoteric things, it's easier (at least for a coder like me) with Exim's routers and transports than with Postfix, but I've always been able to accomplish whatever I've wanted with Postfix. I have little experience with sendmail, and while it is possible to hijack Mailman's Postfix integration to use with sendmail, on the whole it seems 'clunkier' to configure, and I see no reason to chose sendmail over Postfix. I'd be inclined to chose Postfix over Exim simply because Postfix is more popular, and new things (e.g. Mailman 3) tend to be implemented first for Postfix. -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

This happens to this list and not any others, though the option is the same for all lists I manage. Should Mailman convert text/html parts to plain text?

(Edit convert_html_to_plaintext)http://lists.wcasa-blog.org/admin.cgi/regional_ta_sc-wcasa-blog.org/?VARHELP=contentfilter/convert_html_to_plaintext No Yes Wondering if anyone has any solutions. I suspect the issue is that your users are sending multipart/alternative messages and your collapse_alternatives setting is Yes. Either that or you don't have text/html in pass_mime_types. You need at least multipart text/plain text/html in pass_mime_types and collapse_alternatives = No. -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
