Re: [Mailman-Users] Apache, mailman and ScriptAlias - not as documented
On 25/06/2008, at 4:52 PM, Vidiot wrote: I've looked at the installation page over at the Wiki and there is nothing regarding the problem I've run up against. See page 6 of the Installation Manual (pdf). It states the following should be added: ScriptAlias /mailman/ $prefix/cgi-bin/ I already have ScriptAlias defined: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/home/httpd/cgi-bin/" One is not allowed to have multiple ScriptAlias lines. It almost appears that the instructions assume that no other ScriptAliases exist. Not likely. The instructions have no workaround if Apache already has cgi-bin defined. Is there a workaround? Thanks for any pointers? Hi again. Actually, you are allowed to have multiple ScriptAlias lines within your httpd.conf (or any of your vhost.conf files if you have multiples. So long as they only point to a specific directory & separate path you'll be fine. One of the servers I manage has maybe 14 different aliases running - I am sure there will be others who have many more. What the part of the manual you are referring to is saying is that when someone calls /mailman, Apache knows that scripts within that path are to be executed instead of being served straight up. It's an addition to your existing cgi-bin rather than a replacement. Hope that rather simplistic explanation serves to help you understand it a little better.

Re: [Mailman-Users] mailman not working
My mailman program just quit working - the mail is sent back undeliverable after over a year of working just fine Anyone else have this issue. I did nothing different and none of my lists work Hi again, Stab on the dark here, but I would say that your mailman daemon or queue runner has unexpectedly crashed & not picking up mail or a corruption issue in your mailman lists is causing the issue - your mail server log should provide at least some idea, as should the bounce message. -- Bye for now, Terry Allen ___ hEARd Postal Address: hEARd, 26B Glenning Rd, Glenning Valley, NSW 2261, Australia Internet - WWW: http://heard.com.au http://itavservices.com EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: Australia - 02 4388 1400 / International - + 61 2 43881400 Mobile: Australia - 04 28881400 / International - 61 4 28881400 --- Non profit promotion for new music - since 1994 --- -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp

[Mailman-Users] Changing base URL for HTML GUI
Hi again, Just a quick question in this one. I've been running Mailman for a long time (2.1.5 patched to 2.1.6 from memory) on one of my servers. In the administration & general GUI HTML pages, if I go to the URL & enter the password, it will then redirect me to a different URL that starts with the hostname of the server - for example: http://domain.com/mailman/admin/listname (then I log in to the Mailman admin interface) Click a link such as General Options which will redirect to: http://hostname.domain.com/mailman/listname/general (also prompting me to relogin with password details) I wonder if someone could direct me as to where to correct this so it doesn't redirect to the server's hostname - all other lists on the server work fine. I am guessing this will be somewhere within the config for the list but I don't want to be playing around & ruin something. Many thanks for any assistance. -- Bye for now, Terry Allen ___ hEARd Postal Address: hEARd, 26B Glenning Rd, Glenning Valley, NSW 2261, Australia Internet - WWW: http://heard.com.au http://itavservices.com EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: Australia - 02 4388 1400 / International - + 61 2 43881400 Mobile: Australia - 04 28881400 / International - 61 4 28881400 --- Non profit promotion for new music - since 1994 --- -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp

Hi again,
Seriously, pick any Linux distribution -
Ubuntu may be a good bet for you as the user
community is quite good for support.
Personally, I run Mailman on OSX - it
took some time for me to get it working, but it
was actually quite easy once I figured out the
terminology. I used the Postfix MTA that I
already ran for Mailman & found it easy enough to
get it going using that.
I wrote a guide for setting up Mailman on
OSX, part of which is contained here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/node50.html
Hope this helps you somewhat.

Hi again,
I'm not overly clear on what you want here - are you saying
that the client has their hosting already running Mailman? If this is
the case, then there is no need for you to do anything on your local
machine.
The typical web interface is something along the lines of:
http://www.domain.com/mailman/admin
The ISP should be able to provide you with login details for
creating the list. I hope this is of at least some use for you.

I did change the footer using the web interface, but it didn't screw up anything except add the & into the footer. Out of interest, if I use the method you describe above, does it alter any other lists, or only the one you apply to the list you issue the command on? I guess the other minor question I have is - what if I then wish to apply other footers to other lists? Should your command actually read: /bin/config_list -i footer listname instead of : /bin/config_list -i foot listname I'm only guessing that the command needs the name of the file - in which case I'd name the file 'listname_footer' or something similar.

[Mailman-Users] Insert character to footer
Hi all,
I'm not really having any problems as such with Mailman
currently, but I do have a minor question that some searching has not
revealed an easy answer to.
I wish to insert an ampersand (&) into the footer, but when I
use plain &, it generates & into the footer. Should I enclose it
in some way?
Also, I am running 2.1.5 with the security update. Could
someone please outline the easiest way to update to 2.1.6?
I am currently running Mac OSX 10.4.1 if that's of any
consequence. Many thanks.

Re: [Mailman-Users] OSX config.pck.last problem possible resolution

Re: [Mailman-Users] help with mailman on bluehost.com

You need to use the program "patch" to apply the patch as provided. Note that Python is sensitive to indentation and the use of tab characters versus spaces, so you can't just cut-n-paste what you see. You either need to make sure that the indentation perfectly matches what is present in the files being modified, or you need to use the program "patch" to do that for you. If you have stored the security patch in a file called "patchfile", and you have placed that file in the appropriate directory, it should be as simple as this: # patch < patchfile And the program should be able to figure out the rest by reading the patchfile and applying that to the code in the appropriate places.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman / OS X server
Hi all, Does anyone happen to know if there's what amounts to an Idiot's Guide to getting mailman running on the OS X server? I understand from reading this list that Apple modified mailman, so I assume even when I see similar problems here the solutions might be different. I'm an old techie, but tech work isn't my primary job anymore. I'm just trying to get a small web server and mail list software running for my academic dept. I haven't been able to find an OS X server equivalent of this list and . . . well . . . I just can't get the mail lists to work. TIA, Tery Hi again, I wrote an 'idiots' guide following my installation on OSX - I did forward it to Barry Warsaw to see if it could be housed somewhere on the Mailman site, but he instead asked for a modification which will apparently be included in edited form within the Mailman docs. I still have unedited version specifically for OSX (it was the 'client' version but that shouldn't make much difference), if you'd like it. I think it would be a great idea to have some of these types of guides available on the Mailman site in a specific area called 'walkthrough' or something similar, once they've been checked by someone knowledgeable. At least they'd be in a central location. At the moment it's very hit & miss to find something specific for your own platform. Thoughts on the Mailman site section would be interesting if you would like to post to this list - I think this is a good idea. -- Bye for now, Terry Allen ___ hEARd Postal Address: hEARd, 26B Glenning Rd, Glenning Valley, NSW 2261, Australia Internet - WWW: http://heard.com.au http://itavservices.com EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: Australia - 02 4388 1400 / International - + 61 2 43881400 Mobile: Australia - 04 28881400 / International - 61 4 28881400 --- Non profit promotion for new music - since 1994 --- -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
Re: [Mailman-Users] It seems Postfix is not the problem...
After checking and re-checking, it seems I was wrong in thinking Postfix might be the problem. Somehow, I think I've broken Mailman to some extend. Let me elaborate: I was testing mailman by sending messages to the list owner. Nothing, the list owner didn't recieve them, and the sendmail queue was empty. I send a test message to the list. Nothing, the sendmail queue was still empty. Not knowing what else to do, I reboot the Linux server and try to start mailmanctl. It gives me the "stale pid" error so I start it with mailmanctl -s. So far, so good, I think. But still no message recieved. I check the logs, and nothing gives me a clue. Then I find this directory: /usr/local/mailmal/locks. When I do a ls, it gives me lots of .lock files with the name of my list. Deciding I had nothing to lose, I delete them all. Voilá, the list owner starts receiving mail I send 3 days ago and the sendmail queue starts to fill with the test message I send sever or eight hours ago! Tomorrow I'll send another test message (I'll wait for this to finish sending), but what I'd like to know, if someone actually has a clue, is what just did happen, or is happening, and more importantly, will it happen again? I think it has something to do with stale locks, but I can't be sure. So, if someone has an idea, please tell me. Hi again, In looking, I think you are correct - a lockfile problem. Hopefully this won't happen again. Maybe a full system reboot might be in order to clear all the processes. -- Bye for now, Terry Allen ___ hEARd Postal Address: hEARd, 26B Glenning Rd, Glenning Valley, NSW 2261, Australia Internet - WWW: http://heard.com.au http://itavservices.com EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: Australia - 02 4388 1400 / International - + 61 2 43881400 Mobile: Australia - 04 28881400 / International - 61 4 28881400 --- Non profit promotion for new music - since 1994 --- -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailing list emails just disappear to nowhere
Hello all and sorry for the bother :) A little background to my problem: I had a main hard disk problem with my web/list server and though I had some backups I decided to install a fresh (and newer) installation of Linux. Now everything else is working fine except Mailman(and/or postfix). It knows the lists I had built earlier fine, but sending mail to the lists doesn't work. After trying to handle the problem myself, I got until so far: In /var/log/mail I have a lines for the mail: Jan 7 14:07:44 rbm postfix/cleanup[4820]: 2534CE585: message- id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Jan 7 14:07:44 rbm postfix/smtpd[4802]: disconnect from unknown[10.0.1.21] Jan 7 14:07:44 rbm postfix/qmgr[4799]: 2534CE585: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=699, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jan 7 14:07:44 rbm postfix/local[4822]: 2534CE585: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED] toolbox.net>, orig_to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent (delivered to command: /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post hn-l) Jan 7 14:07:44 rbm postfix/qmgr[4799]: 2534CE585: removed So it would look quite all right . except that the mail doesn't appear anywhere. I am quite frustrated so far... any relief available? Otherwise postfix seems to work all right Hi again, Someone else may correct me here, but that last line of the log looks to me like Postfix has delivered the mail to the piped mailman command - if the mail is not showing up from there, it would indicate that either: a: Mailman is broken or b: Mailman is configured incorrectly. Our Mailman installation has a separate aliases file for Mailman, which I think is the normal Mailman setup when used with Postfix. Maybe post something to the Mailman list for assistance from there. -- Bye for now, Terry Allen ___ hEARd Postal Address: hEARd, 26B Glenning Rd, Glenning Valley, NSW 2261, Australia Internet - WWW: http://heard.com.au http://itavservices.com EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: Australia - 02 4388 1400 / International - + 61 2 43881400 Mobile: Australia - 04 28881400 / International - 61 4 28881400 --- Non profit promotion for new music - since 1994 --- -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
Re: [Mailman-Users] Getting started
Hello, I used to have a list with mailman, but someone else set it up for me. When I changed servers I no longer used mailman. I would like to get another list set up through mailman again, since my current server is limiting my list options. Please let me know how to get started with a new list using mailman. Thank you, Brenda Hi again, It's really going to depend if your server has Mailman installed firstly - do you host your own website? If not, do you have access to configure applications on the server. We're a little limited in what you've given us thus far.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Edited pages
I have recently come across a problem which I need your help on please. First let me say that the installation of Mailman which I use is NOT available to me - it is shared server-wide with many other users who are hosted on the server. As admninistrator of a list I am setting up, I edited the html of two of the only webpages available to be edited to add some degree of personalisation, namely the "subscription results" page and the "user options" page. Everything was working well until yesterday when I was testing a few things out, and found that for some unknown reason the old mailman-generated pages had come back. Now, luckily I had backed up the html of my customised pages and was able to sort it out quite quickly, but it was only because I happened along by fluke that I noticed the problem, and I want to avoid it ever happening again. I don't want my users to be browsing my pretty, personalised webpages to be suddenly confronted by two rather ugly mailman pages in the middle of my site! My webhost can't think why it happened, and is reluctant to blame an upgrade or restoration of some backup or other. I think what I need to find out from you, is the usual location of both the two original mailman generated pages, and also the location of the two pages after I have edited them (if different). Thanks in advance. Pete Bell, UK Hi again, Looking at your post, it would be hard to place the fault of the problem at the feet of Mailman. Pages simply do not change unless something has changed them. Despite protests from the host provider, I would be thinking either upgrade or system restoration or similar. I would be thinking that they stuffed up & are reluctant to admit it. Wouldn't be the first time this has happened. If the host is providing multi-user mailman environs, then the locations may well be different. I am guessing that the pages you are seeking would be in /usr/local/mailman/templates/en - however, this depends largely on the paths the person who set Mailman up with used. Hope this helps. -- Bye for now, Terry Allen ___ hEARd Postal Address: hEARd, 26B Glenning Rd, Glenning Valley, NSW 2261, Australia Internet - WWW: http://heard.com.au http://itavservices.com EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: Australia - 02 4388 1400 / International - + 61 2 43881400 Mobile: Australia - 04 28881400 / International - 61 4 28881400 --- Non profit promotion for new music - since 1994 --- -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman contractors
Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="=-qS2V15l762cHWhkko8jd" From time to time I get requests for Mailman installation or customization help, often for compensation. This is not something I do so I usually have to turn people down cold, or tell them to email these two mailing lists. However, such requests are coming in more often these days, so I wonder if it makes sense to try to collect a list of people willing to provide Mailman services. I would not be willing to recommend anyone specifically, but I would be happy to point such requests at say, a wiki page where people can self-register. What do you think? We can either use the FAQ or we can use the Python.org wiki. I'd rather not be in the loop so I don't want to use the static list.org pages. I think we as a community can self-regulate this list. -Barry Hi again, I think this is a good idea - since getting our own Mailman installation working, I have recieved requests for help installing.

Re: AW: AW: [Mailman-Users] Unable to get Mailman up and running withqmail/vpopmail
Terry, Mark and of course everybody else on the list, I didn't want to sound rude or being not thankful about what the mailman developers or ist community have done. I really like mailman. I am trying to get mailman up and running for the past two weeks and I am doing this in my sparetime for a hockey club for free. All I meantis that it is very difficult to know what to do when everybody and every tutorial is offering a different solution. I understand that it is possible to install mailman in any choosen location, but some basics should be the same, at least when we all talk about the same mail client. So when running mailman together with qmail/vpopmail the way is either to use is -with-cgi-gid=mailman or -with-cgi-gid=VCHKPW. Do you knwo what I am trying to say? When Jordi offered me his help and I really appreciate any help!!! He/she wrote -with-cgi-gid=apache. In this case it is absolutely no problem to understand that my Apache user/group is "nobody" so I would have to change it to -with-cgi-gid=nobody. So there I see differences on every system, but I am missing a main road to success. Why is that not possible? So I hope everybody got my point now. Thank you very much to all of you offering support for free!!! Alex Hi again, Indeed, I knew what you were saying, but the variants of so many operating systems makes it nigh on impossible to have things so easy. Like you, I have been struggling with Mailman & trust me, once you nail it, you will wonder exactly where you went wrong & why when it was so obvious. I found the combination of these 3 tutorials the best for my system (Mac OSX w/POostfix), but you'll need to substitute your system's paths in many places: http://www.afp548.com/articles/Jaguar/mailman21-new.html http://www.hesketh.com/publications/mailman_made_easy.html http://www.afp548.com/Articles/mail/python-mailman.html My suggestion is to get the command line way of creating lists working firstly, then look at fixing up the web interface - if I can help you out, I will try. -- Bye for now, Terry Allen ___ hEARd Postal Address: hEARd, 26B Glenning Rd, Glenning Valley, NSW 2261, Australia Internet - WWW: http://heard.com.au http://itavservices.com EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: Australia - 02 4388 1400 / International - + 61 2 43881400 Mobile: Australia - 04 28881400 / International - 61 4 28881400 --- Non profit promotion for new music - since 1994 --- -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
Re: AW: [Mailman-Users] Unable to get Mailman up and running with qmail/vpopmail
Bryan, what do you say about this? I believe qmail/vpopmail is a pretty wide spreaded configuration by now and I don't understand why the creators of mailman can't just say, that's the way to go, fullstop! Best regards, Alex Hi again, While it would be excellent to have everyone using the same, it's just never going to happen. Yes, qmail/vpopmail is relatively popular, but not even close to the extent of sendmail usage & also not close to Postfix either. Exim is also a popular choice, as are Courier-MTA & Communigate Pro along with qmail & a pile of others, so it's best to allow Mailman the extent of running with any mail server you care to run, depending on your configuration. The other problem developers also face is that people running a particular OS & MTA, such as your choice of qmail is that there are a myriad of configuration options for that, using different paths for directories & so on, such as the option of running Mailman in any directory so chosen, so I believe Mailman developers have don the best they can with what they have to work with. -- Bye for now, Terry Allen ___ hEARd Postal Address: hEARd, 26B Glenning Rd, Glenning Valley, NSW 2261, Australia Internet - WWW: http://heard.com.au http://itavservices.com EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: Australia - 02 4388 1400 / International - + 61 2 43881400 Mobile: Australia - 04 28881400 / International - 61 4 28881400 --- Non profit promotion for new music - since 1994 --- -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/

This is telling you that 'heard.com.au' is not a key in the

should be
add_virtualhost('heard.com.au', 'heard.com.au')
No "=".
Also, DEFAULT_URL is obsolete. You should be using DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN.
This should be OK from Defaults.py -
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/mailman/'
Also, use DEFAULT_URL_HOST and DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST. If these are correct
in Defaults.py, i.e. both = 'heard.com.au', then the only thing of the
above you need in mm_cfg.py is
OWNERS_CAN_DELETE_THEIR_OWN_LISTS = Yes
If these are not correct in Defaults.py, then, in addition, you need in
mm_cfg.py

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'heard.com.au'
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()

Hi again,
Many thanks for the reply there. The settings in my
Defaults.py had picked up the hostname, so I set it to the correct
name & everything's working now, including delete.
Regarding the permissions for aliases.db, chmod 664 has done
the trick. I think the issue that as posted a day or so ago regarding
being unable to delete a list using the web interface on OSX Server
is the incorrect permissions for that file as I had the same error
until I had changed the permissions for that file.
Thanks again for the reply.

Thnks again for your replies. -- Bye for now, Terry Allen ___ hEARd Postal Address: hEARd, 26B Glenning Rd, Glenning Valley, NSW 2261, Australia Internet - WWW: http://heard.com.au http://itavservices.com EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: Australia - 02 4388 1400 / International - + 61 2 43881400 Mobile: Australia - 04 28881400 / International - 61 4 28881400 --- Non profit promotion for new music - since 1994 --- -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
[Mailman-Users] Deleting a list
Hi again, I have a quick question that doesn't seem to be answered in any of the documentation I have found or the FAQs I have read. Is it possible to delete a list using the HTML pages in Mailman? If not, am I correct in that deleting a list requires running the rmlist command from the command line like this: rmlist listname Finally, many thanks to those who assisted me in getting Mailman up & running. -- Bye for now, Terry Allen ___ hEARd Postal Address: hEARd, 26B Glenning Rd, Glenning Valley, NSW 2261, Australia Internet - WWW: http://heard.com.au http://itavservices.com EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: Australia - 02 4388 1400 / International - + 61 2 43881400 Mobile: Australia - 04 28881400 / International - 61 4 28881400 --- Non profit promotion for new music - since 1994 --- -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/

This post and a subsequent one were just approved by the moderator and
delivered to the list. So far there's no sign of the earlier one.
These later two may have been held because you are not a list member
if that is in fact the case.
In installing on Mac OSX 10.3.6, I have encountered the
following errors:
[server:~mailman/bin] root# ./check_perms -f
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./check_perms", line 46, in ?
from Mailman import mm_cfg
File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py", line 45, in ?
add_virtualhost (heard.com.au, heard.com.au)
NameError: name 'heard' is not defined
The line which begins add_virtualhost is exactly as it
appears in mm_cfg.py
Could anyone point me in the right direction to try to get
this installation up & running please.
It should be
add_virtualhost ('heard.com.au', 'heard.com.au')

Hi again,
Many thanks for that - after editing that, then running
check_perms -f, it came up with no errors, so I'll be heading to see
what happens next.

[Mailman-Users] Installation problems
Hi all, I have been trying to get Mailman installed & have been attempting to post to the users list without success.
