[Mailman-Users] Pending subscriber.db with Apache UID
System conf: OS RH7.1 Mailman 2.0.6-1u70_1cl.i386.rpm Sendmail 8.11.2-14 Apache 1.3.19-5 Python 1.5.2-30 - >From web page when I add a member to the list, a file get created in /mailman/data called pending.subscriber.db or something like that, UID is Apache and GID is mailman. But when the subscription e-mail goes out to the member, it contains few lines of error and at the end of the mail say something about the .db permission denied with flag "w" I assume it means write. debugging of this message tells me that the pending file with UID of Apache is not editable by the script, To prove that the message is telling me the truth I change the UID of the pending subscribers to mailman and let qrunner to do it's job again. This time subscription e-mail goes out to the member without any error. Do you know where is wrong? I run check_perms and tells me no problem. The obvious logic is that the pending subscriber file is created by Apache in the first place, when entering e-mail address and password and click on subscribe. But I can't understand why mailman is not taking back the ownership of the pending data file. Please let me know if there is anything else I should check. Thanks.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Problem
If it's site pass just run "mmsitepass" and enter the new password If it's list pass for admin then here what I would do: hack it :) 1-create a new site call it test 2-enter the password for the list 3- open the config.db of the test list and search for "password" 4- in front of it you will see something like this "QI35687p7U193s" write it down . 5- now open config.db of the site you forgot the password, and overwrite the password with the above string you wrote down. Now the password of your site should be same as test site.

How do you advertise your mailing list? On your web site? To get to the "Welcome" page "listinfo" still people have to know about it. cheers -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
Re: [Mailman-Users] why can't people see my lists?
The only way public can find your mailing list is by: 1- Placing it in your web site 2- Advertise it on other public newsgroups 3- Mail the URL to all of your clients http://www./mailman/listinfo/ will reveal nothing Unless you edit the "~/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/listinfo.py " file and add your lists URL dodgy but it will work. Better option is to put the list on your web site with full link like this http://www./mailman/listinfo/doc http://www./mailman/listinfo/examples http://www./mailman/listinfo/programming and so on here is an example of a html page Mailing List Page Mailing List http://www.host/mailman/listinfo/dev";>dev http://www.host/mailman/listinfo/examples";>examples http://www.host/mailman/listinfo/programming";>programming Cheers - Original Message - From: "Joshua S.

If the member is from internal network it will register and send subscription note to the user. I checked the setting of the httpd.conf and all correct according to the example. All file permissions are correct according to check_perms Aliases also are correct according to the output of newlist I also add the symbolic link for wrapper in /etc/smrsh And to make sure all the scripts get permission to execute I also added symbolic link for post and mailcmd in /etc/smrsh I check my defauld_domain and url all correct and are FQDN Please tell me what is wrong?

[Mailman-Users] TrendMicro Interscan Virus Wall for Linux
Hello, OS RH7.1 Mailman 2.0.6-1u70_1cl.i386.rpm After fiddling with everything in Mailman and reading every python scripts and checking for typo and so on, I found no problem at all with the mailman, In fact the python source files are written so cool and informative. Now to the problem; All the subscription from internal network for internal users were accepted All the subscription from outside network for outside users were rejected. Sendmail Mail log was telling me error 554 mail relay rejected. All that is cool I can live with it, After getting deep involved in the way wrapper, post and mailcmd are treating the package I was convinced that there isn't any problem with any of them. Last think I could think of was to disable the Interscan VirusWall from (Trend Micro). This time everything worked well. No is there anyone out there using Interscan? I called tech Trend Micro support and so far there is no work around. Do you know of any? As far as I can comprehend; when Interscan is active, it disable the domaintable, access.db, trusted-users.db, IP_allow and mailertable.db and instead uses it's own intscan.ini file to recognise domains, mailertable, trusted-users and ip_allow. I don't see anywhere talking about access. In the access file there are hosts that are allowed to RELAY. okay, end of my gasbagging :)) Please let me know if there is other approach. Thanks.
