Re: [Mailman-Users] Unable To Create Mailman Lists

2009-11-09 Thread Krishnadas Kossery

Regarding point 2. 

Open the Command line interface,

Cd $prefix/mailman
bin/mmsitepass new passwd

Now try again to create new mailing lists with this passwd.

Subject: [Mailman-Users] Unable To Create Mailman Lists

I just installed Mailman 2.1.9-4 on my Linux mail server and
configured it according to the online guide straight from the Mailman
site. It appears to be working fine and I get hit the main page via
Apache and see the only pubic list available called 'Mailman'. Now I
selected the 'Admin Overview Page' and it takes me straight to the
'Admin' page with out any credentials for password or anything. Is
this normal Mailman behavior? Should anyone be able to simply hit my
Mailman public page and walk right into the 'Admin' page with put any
credentials?

Secondly - since I am in the 'Admin' page, I then attempt to select
the link that says create a new mailing list which takes me to a new
page for adding all the criteria for the new list I would like to
generate. At the very bottom, it has a blank field box for List
creator's (authentication) password: and I simply have no idea what
that is. If I leave it blank or type in the password for the only
Mailman list I have called Mailman, I get an error when creating the
new list that says: Error: You are not authorized to create new
mailing lists

Can someone please tell me what I did wrong?

Thanks so much!

-Carlos

Re: [Mailman-Users] Cannot send mail to mailing lists

2009-10-21 Thread Krishnadas Kossery
Thanks Adam,

Logs - I meant by MTA logs as well as mailman logs (under 
/usr/local/mailman/logs)
Yes - bin/mailmanctl is running and test mails/list creations were done after 
querunner was started. 

Is archiving for the lists switched on? Yes - they are. 
Are messages being delivered to the archives? - No they aren't (It's here I'm 
stumped) (Nothing under /usr/local/mailman/archives/{public,private} either)

How do you see the mails being sent? From the command line interface running 
tail -f /var/log/messages; mail -v l...@domain

I just installed another machine and I can see the same problem. It's some 
setting I may have missed to configure. :(

[Mailman-Users] Mailman archives

2009-10-21 Thread Krishnadas Kossery
When messages are archived in mailman, they are losing their original format.  
Tables appear as text and are not readable. I would like to retain the original 
format as is.
Please suggest.

Krishna

Re: [Mailman-Users] Cannot send mail to mailing lists

2009-10-21 Thread Krishnadas Kossery
Finally we got mailman working. 

The problem was as simple as our server network interface not listening to any 
network interfaces other than loopback for SMTP requests. 

:(

Anyways we are up and running. Thanks for the help.

Lego

Re: [Mailman-Users] My question is: Is there a way to remove an archive?

2009-10-21 Thread Krishnadas Kossery
 cd /usr/local/mailman (cd $mailman_prefix)
 bin/rmlist -r listname

This removes the list and its archives.

What is the original format.

Please be more specific as to what is sent to the list, what is
received in messages delivered from the list and what is in the
archive.

I'm only guessing because of not having this information, but my guess
is your list does not filter content and the posts are
multipart/alternative with text/plain and text/html alternatives. You
see the HTML part in an email message, but in the archive you see the
text/plain part and the text/html part has been stored aside as
escaped 'raw' HTML.

[Mailman-Users] Cannot send mail to mailing lists

2009-10-06 Thread Krishnadas Kossery
Hi,

I have mailman version 2.1.9 running on a Centos 5.2 64 bit. (Python 
2.4.3/Apache 2.2.3/Sendmail 8.13)
I'm able to subscribe to newly created mailing lists/Get confirmation e-mails 
from Mailman on subscription.
I'm unable to send e-mails to these lists (which I can confirm by being a 
member of these lists and not receiving any e-mails when mails are sent to the 
lists)
The logs are clean. I tried to send an email from the command line interface of 
the mailman server and I can see the mails being sent. Any suggestions on what 
to check next would be greatly helpful.

Thanks a lot.

Krishna
