[Mailman-Users] virtual host
We have a mailman 2.1.5 server that's on a host we cname to listserver. When mail goes to mailman, it comes back exposing the actual hostname in the URL in the mail message rather than the cname. As per faq 4.29, I've added to mm_cfg.py something like DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'listserver.mydomain.ru' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'listserver.mydomain.ru' VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear() add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) and restarted the qrunners Yet the name still bleeds thru in the advertised URL. Is there something else that needs to be done?

[Mailman-Users] list bounced addresses
Is there an easy way to list which addresses on a list in mm215 have bounces pending? On the membership page, I'd have to go to each letter of the alphabet that has subscribers to see if nomail has a ? next to it. Doable, but a pain. Likewise, I could grep the bounce logfile but that would include addresses that may have already been unsubscribed and are thus now irrelevant TIA =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- generated by /dev/dave -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= David SternUniversity of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
[Mailman-Users] converted 2.0 moderated to 2.1.5
I'm converting a few dozen lists from an older install (2.1.12) to
2.1.5 and came across an interesting bug. We have some lists that
were moderated in the old style of 2.0 ie restrict-post-to-members
was set to NO and special people were added to the
Addresses-of-members-accepted-for-posting-to-this-list-without-implicit-
approval window.
After copying everything across as detailed in the archives and running
withlist and genaliases on the new server, I noted that the lists was
not set up as moderated and I had to do it manually.
* Is this a bug? feature? Is there a way around it?
* Alternatively, is there a relatively painless way to at least identify
such lists on the 2.0.12 side for manual conversion? (I'm guessing probably
dumpdb and some snazzy grepping. Since this will cross lines and thus be
a bit of a pain to script)
* BTW, the instructions for web redirections are flawed as the pattern-
match is not specific enough: If you move over a list called, mine
but leave a list called mine-friends, guess what happens to the web
page redirection for the latter...
The way I've converted lists was:
---On old listserver--

[Mailman-Users] wrapper busted
I've got an old install (2.10.12) where, while mail to the lists goes thru, the daily reminders do not ie the cron /usr/local/bin/python -S /fs/mailman/cron/checkdbs produces ...to=|/fs/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner mylist, ctladdr=[EMAIL PROTECTED] (1/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, pri=139995, dsn=5.3.0, stat=unknown mailer error 2 From searching the archive, I believe this is often caused by bad gid but the logfiles aren't indicating this. More importantly, this install has been up and working correctly for a while but I believe an operator whacked a few files (including wrapper) an restored it from the install. Perms and ownership on the file look ok (2755, root:mailman) . I may be screwed, I may need to try to reinstall the build or find an older backup. Anyone have any ideas on further diagnosing this. This'll probably just force the users to finally go to the newer (2.1.5) install TIA =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- generated by /dev/dave -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= David SternUniversity of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/

[Mailman-Users] covert/modify config dump to pickle
In moving lists from one host to another (older MM2.0 to 2.1) I noticed that while update will convert lists, it leaves bad remnants of the old host within the config.pck ie the hostname. This includes the web_page_url and hostnames of umbrella lists if you have sublists. The result being once I reach the admin page of a list on the new host, passing the cursor over various options (eg membership) shows the links point to the old host. I found a brute force way to modify this using the vim editor to do global substitutions but there must be a cleaner way to completely convert things. If not, consider this a wishlist for something to take dumpdb output and push it into a config.db/pck =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- generated by /dev/dave -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= David SternUniversity of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/

I want to move lists from one machine (mailman 2.0.x) to a newer 2.1.x
installation. Assuming I
- tailor new host http.conf as needed
- set mmsitepass on new
- modify mm_cfg.py,
- use web redirects from the old to the new
- redirect aliases on old to new
- scp $MAILMAN/archive/private/LISTNAME{.mbox to new host
- genalias on new host
- run $MAILMAN//bin/update -f on new host
I still need to copy over and convert $MAILMAN/lists/LISTNAME*
right? I presume the big deal is {config|request}.db. I can use dumpdb to
get that to ascii, how do I load it into the new as config.pck?

copy $MAILMAN/archives to the new machine,
copy $MAILMAN/lists to the new machine,
copy $MAILMAN/Mailman/{Default|mm_cfg}.py* over also.

Has anyone had any experience with really large lists on really small machines? My guess - RAM. Add more Ram - lots more RAM. Mailman loads the entire list into memory when processing it. Your larger list requires a larger hunk of memory. Look at the servers utilization when trying to send to that list. You should be able to pinpoint the limiting factor. What sort of disk subsystem do you have? SCSI or IDE? If your moving a lot of traffic or have really large lists, SCSI is a must. We've discussed large lists a lot in the archives. If you can not add more RAM then I suggest you break the larger list down into several smaller list. Good Luck - Jon Carnes Thanks for your help. The memory on this beast is maxed out at a screaming 512Meg. It's an IDE structure but we just put in an emergency PR for a 15Krpm scsi disk for /var/spool/mqueue and found a source for cheap scsi cards. I've also made it a cache-only nameserver. If these things don't resolve it, I'm gonna have to break it up into perhaps 26 sublists (A-Z) and make the main list an umbrella list.

[Mailman-Users] umbrella lists
We've had probs with nested lists in the past. I think the issue had to do with private lists (ie only members can post) for both the sublist(s) and the umbrella list. If set, how could a member of a sublist post to the umbrella list unless either the umbrella list was unrestricted or the user was also on the umbrella list? As I understand it, an umbrella list should *ONLY* be a list of lists and have no users. But that still wont allow a sublist member from posting to the umbrella, right? So one option we've entertained is to wipe and rebuild superlists each night (ie dump sublist member addresses, wipe and reload them into superlist instead of having nested list). This also makes employee-exit procedures harder (how to find all lists a person is a member. I wrote a script that lists_lists and recursivesly list_members and greps, kinda slow for many lists. OTOH, superlists guarantee someone isn't on two sublists and thus gets two iterations of lists. What have others done on this issue? Another concern is; what happens if someone sends to a superlist during a list rebuild? Is sync_members robust enough to at least always keep one list of addresses around?

Otherwise, my feeling is it's not worth it to do it this way =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- generated by /dev/dave -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= David SternUniversity of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

[Mailman-Users] mailman and spamassassin
Seeing how others have asked about this, I've gotten an older version of mailman (2.0.12) and spamassassin (2.1) working together. Let's say the list in question is called mylist - add to you aliases file mylist: /usr/local/bin/procmail -m /etc/procmailrc - /etc/procmail include things like :0fw | /etc/SpamAssassin/spamassassin -P -c /etc/SpamAssassin/rules :0: * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes /tmp/Likelyspam :0: |/etc/mailman/mail/wrapper post mylist Now it would be nice if the /etc/procmailrc file could be universal for all lists. Anyone know how to set a variable to fighure out from which list the message was coming? (worst case scenario, I'll have to write up a procmail rule to parse the ^To: address but I was wondering if there's an easier way?

Does anyone have any idea how to force sendmail to pipe ALL mailman messages to procmail and set up a rule to remove the tabs before sending the message to the users, but after it has already mangled the subject line? thanks, sumeet. set procmail as your LDA (local delivery agent). This can be done by modifying the .mc file to include: FEATURE(`local_procmail') The resultant sendmail.cf will have a line containg something like: Mlocal, P=/usr/local/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9, S=EnvFromL/Hdr FromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=procmail -Y -a $h -d $u Here's where it gets tricky (or cool). Now you can create a systemwide procmailrc eg /etc/procmailrcthat contains what you want to execute but to have this take affect, you'll need to have a .procmailrc in all users accounts (eg in the mailman account?) containing something like: INCLUDERC=/etc/procmailrc Thus users will have their own procmailrc and run the systemwide one. This can be done automatically on solaris by putteing a template .procmailrc into /etc/skel. Sound complicated? You're right. Probably, a better way to handle this might be to set up a sendmail ruleset that automatically does this without the need for procmail. But writting sendmail rulesets (even if they are only three lines or so) can be scary.

Try cleaning out the cookies on the client machine. There have been

Sounds like a good idea. How is this done? I presume you're not talking
about the subscribers cookies in ~/.netscape/cookie. I see
$PREFIX/Mailman/Cookie.py
$PREFIX/Mailman/Handlers/CookHeaders.py
Do these need to be modified or do they access some DBfile?

[Mailman-Users] mm2.0.X to 2.1.1 upgrade, spamassassin
Regarding the problems I had where the tracedump was complaining of authentication/cookies, I was able to resolve the problem by unprotecting things some (chmod g+w in $PREFIX/logs, $PREFIX/archives/private) and then re-running check_perms. Interesting that check_perms ran successfully previously Looking at the options now, I'm not sure I'll upgrade. I do like the privacy--sender-filter option: Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit action is defined. (previously, I used a cron to wipe mail sent to lists held for moderator and add mailfilters for moderators to not see notifications of held messages. But I'm disappointed that there aren't any obvious/simple hooks to have this play with spamassassin.

Log for the webpage: [- Mailman Version: 2.0.11 -] [- Traceback --] Traceback (most recent call last): File /fs/mailman/scripts/driver, line 71, in run_main immediate=1) File /fs/mailman/Mailman/Logging/StampedLogger.py, line 49, in __init__ Logger.__init__(self, category, nofail, immediate) File /fs/mailman/Mailman/Logging/Logger.py, line 40, in __init__ self.__get_f() File /fs/mailman/Mailman/Logging/Logger.py, line 55, in __get_f f = self.__fp = open(self.__filename, 'a+', 1) IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/fs/mailman/logs/error' [- Python Information -] sys.version= 2.1.2 (#1, Feb 5 2002, 12:02:08) [GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (release)] sys.executable = /usr/local/bin/python sys.prefix = /usr/local/bin/../stow/python sys.exec_prefix= /usr/local/bin/../stow/python sys.path = /usr/local/bin/../stow/python sys.platform = sunos5 [- Environment Variables -] DOCUMENT_ROOT: /etc/lists/htdocs SERVER_ADDR: 128.8.120.234 HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING: gzip SERVER_PORT: 80 HTTP_CONNECTION: Keep-Alive GATEWAY_INTERFACE: CGI/1.1 HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE: en REMOTE_ADDR: 128.8.120.123 SERVER_NAME: spam.umiacs.umd.edu TZ: US/Eastern HTTP_USER_AGENT: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; SunOS 5.7 sun4u) HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET: iso-8859-1,*,utf-8 HTTP_ACCEPT: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, image/ png, */* REQUEST_URI: /mailman/listinfo QUERY_STRING: SCRIPT_FILENAME: /fs/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo HTTP_HOST: spam.umiacs.umd.edu REQUEST_METHOD: GET SERVER_SIGNATURE: ADDRESSApache/1.3.26 Server at spam.umiacs.umd.edu Port 80/ADDRESS SCRIPT_NAME: /mailman/listinfo SERVER_ADMIN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SERVER_SOFTWARE: Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) PYTHONPATH: /fs/mailman SERVER_PROTOCOL: HTTP/1.0 REMOTE_PORT: 40973 When I send to the list, I'm also seeing: Jul 10 11:32:04 spam.umiacs.umd.edu genunix: [ID 809163 kern.info] NOTICE: wrapper, uid 1: setuid execution not allowed, dev=1170007 Jul 10 11:32:05 spam.umiacs.umd.edu sendmail[4329]: [ID 801593 mail.info] g6AFW41t004328: to=|/fs/mailman/mail/wrapper post mytest, ctladdr=[EMAIL PROTECTED] (1/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=prog, pri=30996, dsn=5.3.0, stat=unknown mailer error 1 Jul 10 11:32:05 spam.umiacs.umd.edu sendmail[4329]: [ID 801593 mail.info] g6AFW41t004328: g6AFW51t004329: DSN: unknown mailer error 1 We have a later version of sendmail with smrsh and links in /var/adm/sm.bin to the wrapper. So does mailman not allow automounts? what about suid? Also, I thought that this (2.0.11) is the latest non-beta version of mailman. Is that true? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- generated by /dev/dave -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= David SternUniversity of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py
[Mailman-Users] filtering with procmail
Anyone have any experience filtering with procmail with mailman2.0.8? The FAQ gives hints but seems to be incomplete. Given a list called test, with entries in aliases as test:|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post test test-admin: |/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner test test-request:|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test test-owner: test-admin the FAQ says to just modify test to be test:|/usr/local/bin/procmail -m MAILMAN=test /etc/procmailrc-mailman What about the other entries? does /etc/procmailrc-mailman need any special permissions?

[Mailman-Users] getting mailman to work at all
I've installed mailman-1.1 on a solaris 5.7 box with the latest apache and python. I can create a list and access, modify the config web pages but mail never goes through. While it passed check_perm, all files were installed root:mailman. I changed them to mailman:mailman but that didn't make a difference. What should ownership be? The ~mailman/logs/smtp-failures say: TrySMTPDelivery: To ['[EMAIL PROTECTED]']: TrySMTPDelivery:exceptions.TypeError / connect() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given) (dequeued) Any idea what might be wrong?
