Re: [Mailman-Users] config.db missing
Thanks for the advice, I figured out the problem. The Exim configuration file (directors) were pointing to 'config.db' while this did not exist. I changed this to point to 'config.pck'. Shouldnt we have a not somewhere on the HOWTO detailing this problem? especially for Mailma2.1 newbeez like me :-) regards, Joe On Mon, 3 Feb 2003 10:38:59 +0300 Odhiambo Washington [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: * Joseph Okech [EMAIL PROTECTED] [20030203 10:28]: wrote: Hi All, Have a situation where in the lists' folder the file 'config.db' and config.db.last' are missing.

It's not the cause of your problem. If you read the code for check_db, you will see the following remarks: [] Check a list's config database file for integrity. All of the following files are checked: config.pck config.pck.last config.db config.db.last config.safety It's okay if any of these are missing. config.pck and config.pck.last are pickled versions of the config database file for 2.1a3 and beyond. config.db and config.db.last are used in all earlier versions, and these are Python marshals. config.safety is a pickle written by 2.1a3 and beyond when the primary config.pck file could not be read. [] So as you can see, the check for config.db and config.db.last is really cosmetic! If you send the bounce message you get when you send e-mail to the list, maybe it will give more clues. cheers - wash +--+-+ Odhiambo Washington, [EMAIL PROTECTED].

Re: [Mailman-Users] mailman configuration
Very common problem with first time installations, have to admin, but it is because of the configuration options given. Your mail group ID seems to be 6, but the option for --with-mail-gid during your installation must have been 26. Reconfigure with mail-gid of your system (most likely 6) and all will be ok. regards, Joseph Okech - Original Message - From: Banoba Ezra [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2002 5:08 PM Subject: [Mailman-Users] mailman configuration i've installed mailman on my server andset up a test list. but when i try to subscribe to the list, and reply the subscription confirmation, i get back the mailer deamon. my maillog returns something like this; Failure to exec script.

Re: [Mailman-Users] hi resource usage
Im experiencing this problem too, I have about 12 lists and this works perfectly, but whe I add my other lists, Python takes up about 70% cpu usage, but this is a very critical box.
