[Mailman-Users] Attachment size limit (or max_message_size)
Hello, Running mailman 2.1.13 on RHEL5. From what I've read, the max_message_size setting in a list will be the max size for the message text (body) plus attachment. Therefore, max_message_size setting of 1000 would be approximately a megabyte for the message and any attachments. I've set that for all my list, but can still get a 5MB attachment to go through no problem. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks!

Re: [Mailman-Users] Attachment size limit (or max_message_size)
Ah, I see what's going on. So for the particular lists were working on, all messages to the list are held for moderation. So, it seems clicking Accept will accept the message, even if the message size is too big. We recently (4 months ago) upgraded from Debian 4 to RHEL5. On the previous box, I believe we were running Mailman 2.1.12 (not sure), messages over the max_message_size limit would not hit the list and bounce back to the user with that message. The company I'm working with is hoping the system can kick back messages over the max_message_size before it hits moderation. Is that possible? Would adding GLOBAL_PIPELINE directives to mm_cfg.py get that done? Thanks!

I've set that for all my list, but can still get a 5MB attachment to go through no problem. Is there something I'm missing? The setting of 1000 should cause any message whose raw size is over 1 MB to be held for moderator approval with reason Message body is too big: bytes with a limit of 1000 KB. This will not occur if the message is pre-approved with an Approved: password header or first body line, but should occur in other cases. Of course, if a moderator approves it, it will go to the list. If you are sure it isn't working in your case, we'd need to see an actual example message to figure out why. You could send me one off list if you wish. -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman server consuming entire Internet pipe (dual T1)
Was scrolling through the maillog just now, nothing out of the ordinary other than list traffic that I can tell. So no, all inbound mail comes to the Barracuda, gets cleaned and sent to the Mailman server. Each day about 600 inbound junk mails get blocked and around 50 legit emails. It is hosting just lists only, no other inbound or outbound mail. Outbound does get sent directly out the Postfix and is not sent through any smart host. Good question on the verifying recipients - not quite sure the exact answer - I think the mailman server is processing bounces because I'll see bounced emails in the log to johnsm...@lists.mydomain.com does not exist. So invalid recipients do seem to hit the Mailman server. Maybe filtering recipients at the Barrcuda could help? On the note of the traffic - today everything is fine. Not sure why for 5 days it was consuming the pipe, but have not found any indication of an open relay or malicious intent. We did throttle back the simulaneous connections, maybe that will help a bit. My Postfix maillog shows a ton of these: (lost connection with spool.santarosa.org[216.222.240.7] while sending end of data -- message may be sent more than once) and (conversation with mail.laguna-hills.ca.us[68.203.215.26] timed out while sending end of data -- message may be sent more than once) 11,968 matches of (lost connection) and 9202 matches of (conversation with) in a log file covering 4 days (Nov 21 01:18 - Nov 24 9:07). One thing that did change was the internal DNS servers on the network, I almost have to assume it has to do with that. -Original Message- From: Andrew Hodgson [mailto:and...@hodgsonfamily.org] Sent: Wednesday, November 24, 2010 10:34 AM To: Scott Race; mailman-users@python.org Subject: RE: [Mailman-Users] Mailman server consuming entire Internet pipe (dual T1) Scott Race wrote: [...] I've done some basic testing for open relays, so far I have not found anything indicating it's an open relay.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman server consuming entire Internet pipe (dualT1)
Thanks for the reply. So it sounds like my iptables rule: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j REJECT also blocks outbound mail too. Is there a preferred way to secure mailman SMTP traffic with iptables? In our case, we would just need an inbound filter that only accepts mail from a few hosts, I thought this would do it, but mailman wouldn't send mail with rules like this: # accept mail from two hosts, drop the rest iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.1.245 --dport 25 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.1.246 --dport 25 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j REJECT For the queues - I guess it's fine today - still reviewing the logs, and I will use those bin utilities to see the messages, that will be helpful...thanks!!

[Mailman-Users] Mailman server consuming entire Internet pipe (dual T1)
Hello, Starting Friday this particular office started having massive Internet trouble (dual T1s). Running a speedtest shows 2.75Mbps download (fine) and about .09Mbps upload (not fine).

[Mailman-Users] Moved to new server - new mail not showing up in moderation
Hello, First, thanks for all the help with the htdig issues I had - finally resolved them, will post back shortly on what I found and did to correct. I am migrating lists from and old Debian server to a new Red Hat server, in the middle of it now and all lists are down til I can figure this out. I was able to move the lists successfully, the archives come up, they are searchable, list config works, etc. When posting to the list from a subscribed email, I receive an email back that the post is in moderation, which we expect. However, the message never reaches the moderation queue. Ive searched through the /mailman/logs and /var/log/maillog and havent found anything that jumps out at me. Rebooted the server and made sure mailmanctl was running….any ideas on something I can check? I feel lke I am missing something simple. FYI - new lists works fine, its just the migrated lists.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman not automatically updating its aliases file
Check the permissions and ownership of the aliases file (not in front of my install, but documentation tells you how it should be set - I believe on my install the group ownership is list) Also - I believe your Postfix main.cf file needs to have an entry pointing to an additional aliases file, instead of updating the /etc/aliases file. However, on a fresh install a few days ago (my first 2.1.11 install), I found that it's dropping the aliases file that it updates in something like /var/lib/mailman. That was new to me, but seemed to work out of the box. So go to your root directory and do a #find -name aliases and see if you have multiple aliases files, maybe it's hanging out in the mailman install directory. -Original Message- From: mailman-users-bounces+scott=916networks@python.org [mailto:mailman-users-bounces+scott=916networks@python.org] On Behalf Of Mark Ratcliff Sent: Friday, August 21, 2009 10:29 AM To: mailman-users@python.org Subject: [Mailman-Users] Mailman not automatically updating its aliases file Hi, I was recently tasked with setting up a new mailman server.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Trouble with some messages being scrubbed
Thanks for confirming Mark. I had read that this was a possible bug - so good to know that an upgrade/new install will likely cure it. Would the workaround you describe involve setting: convert_html_to_plaintext = 1 and filter_mime_types = [add html/text] ? One other question about upgrade/new install - I have read that upgrading an existing installation is rather difficult and might involve downtime, so the preferred method is to bring up a new server and move the lists over.

[Mailman-Users] VirtualDirectories and /var/www setup
Hello, Using RHLE 4 with Apache and Mailman on multiple domains on the same server. The two domains I've setup are working fine. The documentation on the Mailman site does not go into detail on how to setup Apache for Mailman, so I wanted to make sure I have setup my installation correctly. I inherited this setup, and it all seems to work, though I'm not quite sure how. I have VirtualDirectory directives in myhttpd.conf file for each mailman domain, though there's no /mailman directory there. As I look, seemes the cgi-bin directory in /usr/lib/mailman takes care of that. How does Apache know to route domain traffic to www.mydomain.com/mailman/create to the appropriate place? I'm mostly wondering this for a third domain setup, will I need a VirtualDirectory for the site, even if there's nothing in the root of the site? I'm guessing I will, but just wanted to verify the setup. Also wondering if domains on my server that are not hosting mailmain sites will also by default have /mailman/create directories, since it seems like it's applying it to all domains. Thanks!

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman on multiple domains
Thanks, fixed the domain name in the mm_cfg.py to read ['second-domain.com']. Running the /bin/genaliases doesn't return an error, but doesn't generate the /data/virtual-mailman file. The mailman error logs don't show anything (no errors since Oct 22). Sounds like the virtual-mailman file missing is my main problem, huh?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman on multiple domains
Thanks for the reply - so this will be a multiple mailman domain.
Currently list working on first-domain.org, trying to get it working on
second-domain.org.
So yes, Host name this list prefers for email is correct as
second-domain.org.
My mm_cfg.py looks like this:
from socket import *
try:
fqdn = getfqdn()
except:
fqdn = 'mm_cfg_has_unknown_host_domains'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = fqdn
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = fqdn
# Because we've overriden the virtual hosts above
add_virtualhost
# MUST be called after they have been defined.
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
add_virtualhost('www.first-domain.org', 'first-domain.org')
add_virtualhost('www.second-domain.org',
'second-domain.org')
##
# Put YOUR site-specific configuration below, in mm_cfg.py . #
# See Defaults.py for explanations of the values.#
# Note - if you're looking for something that is imported from
mm_cfg, but you
# didn't find it above, it's probably in Defaults.py.
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['second-domain.org']
MTA = 'Postfix'
So, I might be getting somewhere now...so I have a virtual-mailman file
now, it's in /etc/mailman. It has the following entries:
# LOOP ADDRESSES START
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman-loop
# LOOP ADDRESSES END

And the virtual-mailman.db is present and current (same date and time as
the virtual-mailman file).
So, getting closer, but a test to the list still bounces:

seems like only my second-domain is in the virtual config.

Yes.
Go to the list's General Options page and look near the bottom at Host
name this list prefers for email.. Does this match second-domain.com?
What you ultimately need to do to configure all this depends on whether
or not you will have multiple Mailman domains or a single Mailman
domain.
If there is only a single mailman domain = second-domain.com you want
something like
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.second-domain.com'
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'second-domain.com'
add_virtual_hosts(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
in mm_cfg.py
and then run
bin/withlist -l -a -r fix_url
to fix the web_page_url and host_name attributes of all the lists.
If you have more Mailman domains, it's more complex, but until you have
the proper host_name for your lists, genaliases won't create/update
virtual-mailman.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman on multiple domains
Sorry bout that...yes, RHLE server.
/etc/postfix/main.cf has the following (in reference to the questions
below):
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_alias_maps
virtual_alias_domains = hash:/etc/postfix/mydomains
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/etc/mailman/aliases
With your direction, realizing I likely needed a reference to this
virtual-mailman file in my virtual_alias_maps, I added it, and my test
post went through!
Not sure if I need the reference to virtual-mailman in my alias_maps
too, didn't think so, and so I didn't add it.
Thanks a TON for the help!

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman on multiple domains
Now just hit one more slight snag, can no longer create new lists on the
second-domain.org.
Fails with the Bug in Mailman version 2.1.5 - We're sorry, we hit a bug!
Error.
/var/log/mailman error shows:
admin(14722): RuntimeError: command failed: /usr/sbin/postmap

I noticed that apache is now trying to own the virtual-mailman file in
/etc/mailman, didn't notice that before. Changing the ownership to
root:mailman doesn't work, when trying to create a list it fails and
apache takes ownership back.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman on multiple domains
Hello all, Question about using mailman in a virtual domain scenario. I currently have Postfix on a RHLE server with mailman installed working for a single domain. I am configuring Postfix for virtual domains, using the Virtual Mailbox Domain setup instead of alias domains since I'm assuming I am not going to have local user accounts for the virtual domains. I'm getting stuck in the virtual recipient maps section. I am not sure how I should setup my maps. Postfix wants me to map an email address to a virtual mailbox, but since mailman has multiple email addresses, do I need a mailbox for each email address? Thanks in advance!

If I add my mailman entries in /etc/aliases, email works. How can I tell Postfix to also check the /etc/mailman/aliases file, or is it better to tell mailman to write to the /etc/aliases file? Seems like I'd rather keep my malman aliases in /etc/mailman/aliases. Thanks!

Well, I actually just figured this out. I set Postfix back to work for just a single domain, reinstalled mailman and now it's working correctly. I'll just need to do the advanced config for the multiple domains.
