[Mailman-Users] mailman not sending [remote host address is thelocal host]
I am trying to set up mailman on through a virtual domain. I have the everything working except that no mail is going out. I set masquerading with: MASQUERADE_AS(`neighborsunited.org')dnl FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl in sendmail. I have looked through the faq and all of the obvious stuff is working (alaises, qrunner, etc...) I am getting a repeated error message in /var/log/exim/mainlog that reads: 2003-08-06 10:48:31 H=localhost.forestry.umn.edu (lorax.forestry.umn.edu) [::1] sender verify defer for [EMAIL PROTECTED]: remote host address is the local host Does anyone recognize this error Thanks Kirk -- 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] no mail... looks like an exim config problem
I need to configure exim for a virtual domain. The uname of my machine in lorax.forestry.umn.edu, the virtual domain that I want to run mailman to/from is neighborsunited.net. Here is the exim log error: 2003-08-06 12:14:53 remote host address is the local host: neighborsunited.net (while verifying [EMAIL PROTECTED] from host localhost.forestry.umn.edu (lorax.forestry.umn.edu) [::1]) If I add the domain neighborsunited.net as the primary hostname, will that take care of it? # primary_hostname = primary_hostname = neighborsunited.net or do I also need something here? domainlist local_domains = @ domainlist relay_to_domains = hostlist relay_from_hosts = localhost Lastly, how does one HUP exim?

[Mailman-Users] very weird behavior
So here is the deal (with a fresh outlook and a good night sleep). I am convinced that I did get everything working yesterday. I took some futzing around with the exim config file, sendmail.cf and apache. The reason that I thought things were working was that I created a new list 'testlist' and it worked fine (i.e. allowed me to subscribe, sent me notice that I had subscribed, let me post, sent the post, etc...) But when I tried to use the old (imported) list, I got the error about: Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group mailnull, or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=mail'. So I tied re-configuring mailman with gid=mail, that got me the error message Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group mail, or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=mailnull'. This is clearly a loop... So this morning I go back to the 'testlist' and start poking around. It seems that everything works fine unless I turn on moderation, or aproval in the required for subscription field (anything that requires a message to be sent to the moderator/admin), then I'm back to the error: Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group mailnull, or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=mail'. Any idea what is going on here?

Re: [Mailman-Users] error log reports miss spelled listname?

What you are in fact doing is running the Mailman mail delivery program wrapper which is intended to be called by the MTA to deliver messages to Mailman. This wrapper checks the egid it is called with is that specified by the --with-mail-gid value from the ./configure during installation. As this condition is not being satisfied when you are running it from the command line you get an error reported to that effect. If the gid wheel is a problem, then why do newly created lists work fine? I tied changing the group with: chgrp -v -R -L mailnull /usr/sbin/sendmail then restarting sendmail and mailman. But it has no effect. What else does the message 'try tweaking your mailserver to run the group mailnull mean I should try... obviously I don't know what is meant by the term 'tweaking' I get this error: Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as group mailnull, but the system's mail server executed the mail script as group wheel. Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group mailnull, or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=wheel'. It just doesn't make sense that there would be a real gid error if the testlist does all the right stuff (ie subscribes sends mail, accepts mail etc...) Ideas? -- Kirk R.

[Mailman-Users] changed domains, need to change list url
I need to change the url on a list (we have switched domains and I want the list web pages to reflect that change). I have tried the fix_url.py script, but it just wants to set the list url to the name of the local_host (probably getting it from uname or something). I have changed 'ServerName' in httpd.conf to the new domain name, also changed DEFAULT_HOST_NAME in mm_cfg.py. What else needs to be done so that fix_url can change the list url?

[Mailman-Users] ip_addresse rather than hostname in forms?
How can I configure a list to use an ip address in its listname instead of the hostname?

Re: [Mailman-Users] ip_addresse rather than hostname in forms?
What would happen if I simply changed the Host name this list prefers for email. (Details for host_name) line, on the administrative interface page? On Thu, 2003-07-31 at 14:11, Richard Barrett wrote: SMTP mail addressing is done in terms of domains, that is the FQDN of mail hosts. For instance MX records are usually specified in respect of FQDNs with nary a IP number in sight. This, for instance, this allows mail hosts on private IP numbers to function so long as some publicly IP numbered mail relay with access to that internal network will relay mail for the privately IP numbered mail host. Most MTAs check the acceptability of domains in mail addresses by doing DNS lookup. I do not think using IP numbers instead of FQDNs is going to work but I am open to being corrected.

[Mailman-Users] moving a list to new server
I am trying to move a list (archives intact) to a new server. Trouble is that when I call up the listinfo page, the old server name is still intact. But, setting up a new testlist on the new server shows the correct servers name in listinfo/testlist. I tried a grep for the two server names and got: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:148 grep -r fireweed * | egrep -v 'logs|archives|qfiles' Mailman/mm_cfg.py:DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = 'fireweed.org' Binary file Mailman/mm_cfg.pyc matches Binary file lists/neighborsunited/config.db matches Binary file lists/neighborsunited/config.db.last matches Binary file lists/neighborsunited/config.pck matches Binary file lists/neighborsunited/config.pck.last matches Binary file lists/mailman/config.pck matches Binary file lists/mailman/config.pck.last matches [EMAIL PROTECTED]:149 more Mailman/mm_cfg.py [EMAIL PROTECTED]:147 grep -r lorax * | egrep -v 'logs|archives|qfiles' Mailman/Defaults.py:DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'lorax.forestry.umn.edu' Mailman/Defaults.py:DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'lorax.forestry.umn.edu' Binary file Mailman/Defaults.pyc matches Binary file lists/testlist/config.pck matches Binary file lists/testlist/config.pck.last matches locks/master-qrunner:/usr/local/mailman/locks/master-qrunner.lorax.forestry.umn.edu.77379 locks/master-qrunner.lorax.forestry.umn.edu.77379:/usr/local/mailman/locks/master-qrunner.lorax.forestry.umn.edu.77379 fireweed is the old sever name (lorax is the new one), so I went ahead and changed mm_cfg.py to the new hostname (I must have copied the old mm_cfg.py file over when I moved the list). However, I'm still getting the old server name in /listinfo/oldlist, therefor I'm figureing that the binary files that are associated with the oldlist-oldservername need to be regenerated. Does anyone know how to do this?

[Mailman-Users] moving a list from one server to another?
I am trying to move a mailman list from a gentoo linux box to a freebsd box. I have installed exim, apache13, mailman, and added the user mailman on the freebsd box. I have moved the old list and placed it in the proper location for freebsd (/usr/local/mailman/. Here's my trouble... If I open a browser and try to get to the list I can see the listinfo page for the moved list, but it has all the information concerning the archive and where to post messages from the old gentoo sever. Obviously I missed some configuration file somewhere.

[Mailman-Users] virtual domains and mailman
I would like to set up a list on my office machine to be accessible to the outside world without using my machine's domain name (bla.bla.bla.umn.edu). Is it possible to: 1. create some kind of virtual domain like whateverdomain.net that the outside could type into a browser and find my machine at bla.bla.bla.umn.edu? 2. Configure a mailman list to use that virtual domain in it's list name instead of http://bla.bla.bla.umn.edu/mailman/listinfo/whateverlistname Any and all advice on this would be greatly appreciated, Kirk -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
