Re: [Mailman-Users] Huge List
I run a list of 8,000 contacts and I ran out of memory. My virtual server was a bit older -- and the ceiling was very low. I've since been in the upgrade / migration to a new server. So, I hope to be running again soon. But, there was a problem with memory errors. However, it sounds (rookie guess) that you'll be okay given the box you described. Ta.

[Mailman-Users] stuck trying to install Mailman on virtual server at buehill.com
HI All, I've a long-time webmaster and mailman list owner -- but I stink at installs. I need some help. Generally I just do a vinstall mailman at the shell prompt. Bingo. Done. But, that isn't an option. I've got two accounts now at Bluehill.com. I'm upgrading to a new box. By the way, in my other, older FreeBSD box, my 8,000 contact list exceeded the memory chunk for the virtual box. It crashes and sends out fail messages. I've tried this: % su -l root pkg_add -r mailman Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.7-release/Latest/mai lman.tgz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access ) pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages- 4.7-release/Latest/mailman.tgz' by URL Then I tried this with the longer URL. pkg_add -r ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i366/packages-5-stable /Latest/mailman.tbz Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4 .7-release/Latest/ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i366/packages-5-stable/L ates t/mailman.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages- 4.7-release/Latest/ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i366/packages-5-stable/ Late st/mailman.tbz' by URL rauterkus ~# - - - HELP.

[Mailman-Users] New install on virtual server -- and TWIG is full of MSQL errors
Hi All, I've got a FreeBSD virtual server. I had a MM meltdown -- yanked the old version. Then did vinstall for a new version of MM. Great. Love it. Splendid new features. However, my older version of TWIG is now not able to work. http://www.informationgateway.org/ TWIG give me lots of errors with MSQL. Could these be related or NOT? TWIG is also an older version. That needs to be upgraded as well. Anyone have any insights? I'll go to the TWIG group next. Thanks. Ta.

[Mailman-Users] Part one -- broken lists
Hi All, FreeBSD, Mailman 2.0.10, Virtual Server, hosted at Bluehill.Com. Mailman broke. ??? I've been running Mailman for a couple of years. But there has been some weirness in the past week. First, after a lot of spam and very idle lists, the usr/local/mailman/logs/errors grew like a weed. Some lists had up to 300 spam messages waiting for moderator approval. Ouch. So I did a lot of clean-up -- but something broke. Web pages work. But, mail sent to server arrives and then nothing else happens. All the files in the /logs do not move. Nothing with vette, smpt, subscribes, etc. I've got a back-up of my archives and my main subscriber files. So, I'm looking for trouble-shooting insights -- or else I might just NUKE the Mailman and then do the Virtual Server Install off the ISP's command: vinstall mailman But, it seems as if the vinstall mailman keeps Mailman at version 2.0.10. Sorry so vauge. Ta.

[Mailman-Users] Update from older versions (newbie will patch)
Hi All, Newbie alter to *nix. I'm trying to go from 2.0.9 to more recent versions. I get the file mailman-2.0.9-2.0.10-diff.txt I then changed its name to drop the .txt for no reason.

[Mailman-Users] help with bin/remove_members with 2.09
Hi All, I goofed and nuked the bin/remove_members, in Mailman 2.09. (Virtual server with FreeBSD, hosted at Bluehill.com.) A friend sent me the file for Mailman 2.13. I've put it back into the proper director, but no luck. At the telenet: % virtual bin/remove_members --fromall [EMAIL PROTECTED] virtual: unable to execute bin/remove_members: No such file or directory Yet other tools in the /bin work like above, listmembers, find_member, and so on. Perhaps the wrong verion matters? Perhaps because the remove_members was from a Linux install and not a FreeBSD install? So, if anyone can help, I'd love to use remove_members without needing to unpack the entire distro. Ta.

[Mailman-Users] Which functions???
Hi, How do you NUKE an address from ALL the lists on your server? Is there an Unsubscribe ALL trick? And, rather than looking at a dozen lists -- for one address -- is there a way to find out (as a SYSTEM ADMIN with Root) what lists an address is subscribed to??? - - Presently I'm going list-by-list snooping via the web interface. There has to be a better way. Presently, many of our church subscribers are not yet used to opting in and out of lists on their own. So, I get a message -- please unsubscribe me (email) from all the lists -- etc. I have little clue as to what list they might be on now. Thanks. Ta.

[Mailman-Users] best practices for pipermail archives -- look and feel touch ups
Hi All, What are the best ways to slightly jazz up the web display of the archives?

[Mailman-Users] Case Matters in http://rauterkus.com/mailman/listinfo
Hi All, The /mailman/listinfo page on my set-up is case sensative --- in the domain name. http://rauterkus.com/mailman/listinfoand http://Rauterkus.Com/mailman/listinfoare different. Bug or feature? :) I couldn't find the blasted list of lists -- and then when I did, it was by mistake, it was hard to find again. I've never seen a matter of case making a difference within domain name. Because the domain is my name, I have a habit of making it capitalized. I did so in all my Mailman forms. Virtual server, FreeBSD, Mailman = 2.0.9 Ta.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Not creating users?? (new install question)
Hi, Grant asked: What have I missed that allows Mailman to create users?? aliases. I do this: On telnet session: % newlist -o LISTNAME Then a set of lines like this appears in the telnet window and an output file is made in the same directory. - - - snip starts - - - ## LISTNAME mailing list ## created: 23-May-2002 username LISTNAME: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper post LISTNAME LISTNAME-admin: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner LISTNAME LISTNAME-request: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd LISTNAME LISTNAME-owner: LISTNAME-admin - - - end snip - - - Then, that info needs to be put into your sendmail file, aliases. Then, you need to run vnewalises. Then it should work. My question for the *nix pros --- How do you easily patch the contents of the output file (-o) into the aliases file? The cut and paste is a drag with pico, and the word wrap is a pain. Ta.
