RE: [Mailman-Users] Migrating from one server to another

2005-01-10 Thread Kevin W. Gagel
 I am working on a similar task, in that I have created a
 new server to host my lists.
 
 I have Mailman installed and configured to work fine and I
 copied over my lists to the appropriate folder. The issue
 I am having is that when I go to Mailman/admin I am not
 seeing any of my lists. If I go to a specific list by name
 I see that all the information is there.
 
 Am I missing a step in letting mailman know about the
 lists?

Have you looked at this?

Re: [Mailman-Users] How to 'export' mailman subscriber list

2004-12-15 Thread Kevin W. Gagel
About six months ago there was a huge thread about rates of
email to hotmail on the postfix list. A search in their
archives should reveal what your looking for.

 This is a very important thread here.  I just sent 1200
 emails and none of my hotmail subscribers seem to have
 gotten their emails and I think this is exactly why.
 
 So does anyone know how to address max mails per
 transaction in Postfix?  I'm going to go and add this
 question on that list. 
 Thanks Mark

 Hi Evan,
 
 Take look at the sample-rate.cf file which should be
 located in the directory as the main.cf file.  The
 default_destination_recipient_limit parameter is probably
 what you  are looking for here.  Although the
 default_destination_concurrency_limit may need some
 tweaking if the ISP is just measuring total number of
 messages coming in.
 
 However, Hotmail probably won't divulge such details. 
 They seem to randomly block/discard/cutoff messages from
 the Mailman on the server I admin.

 I don't want to sign up with SourceForge so here's a bug
 report right here.
 
 Sometimes version 2.1.5 lets a user A edit the options of
 another user B  as follows.
 
 User A consults the member list (using his name and
 password normally).  Here A picks an email address of user
 B. User A returns to the main  page, enters address of B
 in the Edit options slot and presses Edit  options.
 Normally Mailman requires a password, but sometimes IT
 DOES NOT  and goes straight to the editable options list
 page.
 
 I'd like to know if somebody else has experienced this
 behavior.

 Hello,
 
 I created a small list of about 10 members to start and tested it for a
 couple of days... changing settings to make sure all goes the way It should.
 Then I finished loading the email address and I have almost 5000. I tried
 today to send my first newsletter and it looks like it's not being
 distributed (I know because I have several addresses that I own and that I
 keep checking). I made sure the maximum kb per email was set high enough
 also the recipient filter is set to 1 recipients. so it should work
 just like when I sent the test emails to 10 people.
 
 I spend several hours on this and cannot figure out why it isn't working...
 
 Any ideas... ? 
 
 Thanks .

Re: [Mailman-Users] Problems with relocating a list

2004-09-21 Thread Kevin W. Gagel
You probably followed some of my instructions. I've not had a chance to get
back to update them. In the mailman list directories you'll find that there
are links to the archives. I had the same issue after I did mine, it took a
bit to figure it out but simply deleting the links and making new ones to the
correct location on the new machine fixed it for me.

 -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
 Hash: SHA1
 
 Moving a Mailman list from one server to a new one has been a *very*
 smooth process for the most part, but I'm noticing some small quirks in
 the wake.
 
 Here's an account of how I accomplished this.
 
 1. Installed Mailman 2.1.5, Postfix 2.1.4, and Apache 2.0.50 on the new
server.  These versions exactly match the ones on the old server.
 
 2. Went through the process dictated in FreeBSD-post-install-notes,
INSTALL, README, and README.POSTFIX, which essentially involved
editing main.cf, httpd.conf, adding MTA = 'Postfix' to mm_cfg.py and
creating the mailman list.
 
 3. Under the direction of section 3.4 in the FAQ Wizard, I copied the
data, archives and lists directories from the old server to the new
one.  But rather than clobbering the pre-existing directories, I
copied only the *relevant* directories from archives and lists
(i.e. archives/private/listname* and lists/listname).  Nothing was
copied from data and the mailman list was not copied.
 
 4. Ran withlist -l -r fix_url listname  genaliases
 
 5. Started postfix and qrunner.
 
 6. Configured Apache on the old site to proxy and Postfix to relay to
the new server while DNS changes propagated.
 
 Now, the aforementioned quirks:
 
 1. The old lists are not advertised on the new Web site.
 
 2. Apache will not let me access the public archives (that were private
before the move) and I get a 403.  I'm sure this has to do with
Apache 2's default deny policy, but not entirely sure how to deal
with it (I'm still somewhat of an Apache 2 newbie, but I've had a few
years experience with 1.x).
 
 Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
 
 Cheers!

 So I used the config_list command with the siteconfig.cfg file to have

From this point on your new members will not have the moderation bit set.
Meaning they will not be moderated.

 But still its not working? Is there anyway to make sure that member
 moderation is turned off??
You still have not turned off the moderation bit for old members. Go to the
members listing and set the mod bit off for all members.

I see what you mean. There does not seem to be an easy way to do it from the

I have no other suggestions and not enough knowledge of Mailman to be of further

 The best thing would be to get Netwin to fix their software so 
 that it sends back RFC-compliant Delivery Status Notifications -- 
 Mailman already knows how to deal with those.  Indeed, most 
 mail-related programs on the Internet already know how to deal with 
 those, so by fixing this problem they'd make themselves much more 
 compatible with the entire rest of the world.
 Otherwise, you need to take the bounce message format and write 
 some Python code to properly parse that, and then submit that code to
 the Mailman developers.

 I am installing Mailman on a machine running Postfix. I put in Postfix's

 alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/var/chroot/htdocs/mailman/data/aliases

Since you are the moderator of the list go into the administrative interface.
Under the Members section locate your email address and then remove the mod
check mark. Then when you send to the list it will go out with out requiring you
to approve it.

As for sending at specific day or time, I don't the know the answer to it.
Perhaps someone more familiar with mailman can help.

what I did. Each time I try to get to the admin page of the mailman list I am
redirected back to the list index page for all of the lists.

Any ideas?

 What is wrong with this idea, is that it means Mailman is going
 against the  RFC that it currently obeys, to work with something
 that is broken.
 
 What should happen is get the broken package fixed, rather than make
 a  unbroken package broken.
I agree, in a perfect and ideal world that is what should happen.
Unfortunatly for all of us, we don't live in it.

I have no issue with a position that says we won't change it to work
with a broken client, nor with a position that says we will change
it to compensate for Outlooks defects.

I just think its sad that Mailman may be tossed because of a hardline
position, thats all.

At any rate, I get to much email from my lists. Lets kill this off as
Off Topic.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman drops extension of attachment

2003-12-23 Thread gagel
I tried searching the archives but found nothing about it. I guess my
search terms were not good enough.

It is not a problem with the mail client. I did debug tracing on the
clients to see what was being passed before I submitted a bug report.
The client identifies the attachment correctly as a pdf. The problem
is that the length of the attachment name seems to be to long for
mailman to process correctly.

Sending an attachment called:
PRESIDENT'S NEWSLETTER NO. 2 - 2003-2004 ACADEMIC December.pdf
Results in one called:
PRESIDENT'S NEWSLETTER NO. 2 - 2003-2004 ACADEMIC

The recieving client can still open the missnamed attachment if they
know what to select as a program to open it with. Its just that the
extension is missing and that only happens after going through
mailman. It does not happen if it is sent directly to a user.

- Original Message Follows -
 This *exact* problem was discussed in the archives awhile back. If
 memory serves me correctly the problem then was that the email
 client used a generic type of mime file type identifier rather than
 a more proper one that identified the file type properly as pdf.
 
 Mailman then treats this as a generic file and renames it with a
 generic extension.  A patch was generated so that Mailman no longer
 changed the file extension.  A look in the archives might prove
 useful to you.

 2003 archive and see if this is any help.
 

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2003-November/032634.html

Read through the thread. No it didn't help. I change the filebase,
ignore to filebase, ext like the thread indicated but I still end up
with the same thing. The problem is the mailman handles the file name
and the fact that users are using long file names. Its not a problem
with the extention as I thought. Mailman drops the last part of the
file name off, so a file name like this:
PRESIDENT'S NEWSLETTER NO. 2 - 2003-2004 ACADEMIC December.pdf

Becomes a file name like this:
PRESIDENT'S NEWSLETTER NO. 2 - 2003-2004 ACADEMIC

So the December.pdf part is lost. I've verified

Re: [Mailman-Users] Shell meta-characters

2003-12-23 Thread gagel
The question is simple enough, so I ask it again. Is the sendmail
interface safe from addresses that contain shell meta-characters?

I an unable to determine from the long list of messages or doing a
search in the archives whether or not the problem had been corrected.

The mailman code warns not to use the sendmail but use the smtp method
because sendmail is not secure. postfix users are warning me that
mailman can lead to a compromise if a meta-character is used in the
address. postfix users are also saying this should have been fixed by
now in mailman but I'd like some confirmation.

Anyone familiar with the code care to answer this?

 If this doesn't work, what is the best method to manage a mailman

Re: [Mailman-Users] HELP / Export Function?

2003-12-10 Thread gagel
Make sure you reply to the list on this as well. I'd like to know too.


- Original Message Follows -
 IS there an export function of latest version 2.1.3 ?
  
  
 If so, how can a user (admin) not server owner perform this export.
  
 I need this to copy, close and re-open list.
  
 Please respond to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  
 Many Thank You's in advance...

Re: [Mailman-Users] The causing a problem

2003-12-03 Thread gagel
I'm getting more confused by the second...
I've removed the list and re-created it without the  in the name.

What happend is I'm transfering from an old server to a new mailman
server. The list created just fine and displays just fine. It seems
postfix is recieving the list name seperated as two names instead of a
single name. Messages to the old list server using the list name with
the  in it are not a problem with postfix. But mailman must be doing
or not doing something with postfix that caused the error.


- Original Message Follows -
 While this is all true to some degree, don't overlook something even
 more  obvious with regards to mailman, the web interface in trying
 to display  that list name would actually be trying to display a
 page that takes a  parameter. Apache / IIS would be significantly
 confused for sure.  's are  not valid in HTML file names as they
 specify a part of a parameter list on  the url.
 
 It's always a good practice to stick with a-z 0-9 _-. only in names
 and  you'll never have any sort of issue with email servers or web
 servers.

 Just because the unix shell does something with  doesn't mean it
 is invalid for local part of email addresses.  The Mailman aliases
 should protect that in any case, because it could be used as a
 vector for attack, even if it does require sysadmin assistance ;-)

[Mailman-Users] Moderator bit

2003-12-01 Thread gagel
I have a set my site to default all new members of any list to be
moderated. One list wants it set off by default and has manually
switched each subscriber's mod bit to off. But it still requires the
subcribers messages to be aproved. Whats going on with that?

Tom,

 You have:
 
 local_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/users
 
 Does /etc/postfix/users contain test?

got me searching and found the problem. I was missing the $alias_maps
for the local_recipient_maps. 

Problem is resolved.
