[Mailman-Users] mailman with fetchmail, ISP smtp, blocked port 80
Dear Folks, I have just moved to a new ISP which blocks ports 80, 25 incoming. I have hosted (and hope to continue to host) two mailing lists, which worked fine till the change. I also have access to a web server pointed to by dns A record nicku.org on which I cannot install mailman, but on which I can install redirects, use mod_rewrite, and configure apache on. Postfix listens on port 25 on www3.nicku.org and can send mail via ISP mail server. An MX record for nicku.org points to mail.nicku.org, which in turn points as an A record to an email hosting service. www3.nicku.org is the new address of this machine hosting mailman. I would like to ask: 1. Any suggestions on a good way to configure mailman in this situation? My current method (dns points to this machine, www3.nicku.org, apache listening on port 8080, redirect from remote nicku.org to www3.nicku.org:8080) seems not right yet; attempts to click on the "Submit All Data" button on the admindb page just return the same page, without any apparent action having taken place. 2. I am running fetchmail as root, with a .fetchmailrc as shown below. Does that look correct? Any suggestions? 3. the /var/log/mailman/smtp-failure log shows multiple (failed) attempts to send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]; how do I persuade mailman to send to the correct address? 4. Are there any special settings I need for mailman to match this arrangement better? Currently the changes to my mm_cfg.py are: DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www3.nicku.org:8080' DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'nicku.org' add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) Note that people access the web pages via http://nicku.org/mailman/listinfo/camwest-discuss and http://nicku.org/mailman/listinfo/camwest-announce. set daemon 180 set syslog set postmaster nicku set no bouncemail set no spambounce poll mail.nicku.org proto pop3 user user01 pass passwordxxx is nicku here user user02 pass passwordxxx is auser here user user03 pass passwordxxx is anotheruser here user user04 pass passwordxxx is mailman here user user05 pass passwordxxx is mailman-admin here user user06 pass passwordxxx is camwest-announce here user user07 pass passwordxxx is camwest-discuss here user user08 pass passwordxxx is camwest-announce-admin here user user09 pass passwordxxx is camwest-announce-bounces here user user10 pass passwordxxx is camwest-announce-confirm here user user11 pass passwordxxx is camwest-announce-join here user user12 pass passwordxxx is camwest-announce-leave here user user13 pass passwordxxx is camwest-announce-owner here user user14 pass passwordxxx is camwest-announce-request here user user15 pass passwordxxx is camwest-announce-subscribe here user user16 pass passwordxxx is camwest-announce-unsubscribe here user user17 pass passwordxxx is camwest-discuss-admin here user user18 pass passwordxxx is camwest-discuss-bounces here user user19 pass passwordxxx is camwest-discuss-confirm here user user20 pass passwordxxx is camwest-discuss-join here user user21 pass passwordxxx is camwest-discuss-leave here user user22 pass passwordxxx is camwest-discuss-owner here user user23 pass passwordxxx is camwest-discuss-request here user user24 pass passwordxxx is camwest-discuss-subscribe here user user25 pass passwordxxx is camwest-discuss-unsubscribe here where userxx is the username configured on the email hosting service, to which dns A record mail.nicku.org points.

[Mailman-Users] Authenticate mailman subscribers to wiki
Dear Folks, I'm sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but my search through the archives hasn't turned anything up yet. I want to use the same email address and passwords used by mailman to authenticate users of an Apache 2.x driven web site to particular web pages. In particular, I thought I'd set up some Moinmoin wikis for mailman subscribers for corresponding lists to be able to edit. Any pointers to how to go about that? Can mailman easily export/make available its email addresses and passwords for use by Apache? -- Nick Urbanik RHCE http://nicku.org nicku(at)nicku.org Proud ex-member of Dept. of Information & Communications Technology in Hong Kong IVE (Tsing Yi), Home of Visual Paradigm: Jolt Productivity Award winner, programmed by ICT's own graduates!

[Mailman-Users] htdig search patch #444884: What symlinks are required?
Dear Folks, I have built a mailman RPM for FC3 as mentioned earlier. It seems to be working except for this item on http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=444884&group_id=103&atid=300103 (the htdig patch #444884). On that page it is written: This patch integrates htdig with Mailman and provides: [snip] 5. automatic creation, deletion and maintenance of htdig configuration files and such. Beyond installing htdig and telling Mailman where it is via mm_cfg you do not have to do any other setup. Well not quite you do have to set up a single per installation symlink to allow htdig to find the automatically generated per list htdig configuration files. THE QUESTION: What symlinks are required from what to where? Sorry to be such an idiot, but I really haven't worked it out yet, and would really appreciate some further hints. I'm new to mailman and htdig administration. -- Nick Urbanik RHCE http://nicku.org nicku(at)nicku.org Proud ex-member of Dept. of Information & Communications Technology in Hong Kong IVE (Tsing Yi), Home of Visual Paradigm: Jolt Productivity Award winner, programmed by ICT's own graduates!

Are there any caveats with using utf-8 instead of us-ascii?

[Mailman-Users] Redirect subscription requests to announce list?
Dear Folks, Subscription requests to an existing newsletter are managed manually. I am proposing to host this as a Mailman list on this machine. However, the existing setup requires that users send an email to a particular existing email address on another existing machine over which I have no administrative control, though simple sysadmin requests may be supported. The existing email address is used for other purposes too. If an email to this address has a subject or body containing the word "SUBSCRIBE", it should be subscribed. Can anyone suggest any techniques to implement a smooth transition? I'm happy to write some Perl (sorry, not Python yet!) to solve this if anyone has any suggestions. -- Nick Urbanik RHCE http://nicku.org nicku(at)nicku.org Proud ex-member of Dept. of Information & Communications Technology in Hong Kong IVE (Tsing Yi), Home of Visual Paradigm: Jolt Productivity Award winner, programmed by ICT's own graduates!
