Re: [Mailman-Users] Error when list Moderator deals with pending requests
Following up on my own post, I think I found the problem. One of the subscribers that was added to one of our moderated lists had an email address that wasn't legitimate. The domain name the person submitted was @domain.s when it should have been @domain.us there (having just one character there certainly won't work!) - the moderator didn't catch it. After I unsubscribed that address from the list, I haven't seen the bug appear again so far.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Error when list Moderator deals with pendingrequests
Many thanks to Mark for his assistance. I sent a reply back to the list earlier today thinking I had figured it out (found a subscriber on one of the moderated lists with a bad email address format) but apparently it was much bigger than that!

Yes. This is a Python 2.6 incompatibility in 2.1.12. It only occurs when the moderators do the approval because only the moderators are checking the 'Preserve messages for the site administrator' checkbox when handling messages. (You might want to check Mailman's spam/ directory to see how many preserved messages are there.) Here is a patch to fix the incompatibility. --- Mailman/ListAdmin.py 2008-09-21 18:59:44 + +++ Mailman/ListAdmin.py 2009-08-01 00:40:36 + @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -# Copyright (C) 1998-2008 by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. +# Copyright (C) 1998-2009 by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. # # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or # modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License @@ -202,7 +202,7 @@ cPickle.dump(msg, fp, 1) else: g = Generator(fp) - g(msg, 1) + g.flatten(msg, 1) fp.flush() os.fsync(fp.fileno()) finally: @@ -251,7 +251,7 @@ outfp = open(outpath, 'w') try: g = Generator(outfp) - g(msg, 1) + g.flatten(msg, 1) finally: outfp.close() # Now handle updates to the database -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.net The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
