Re: [Mailman-Users] Setup an announce list
Jan, I found the answer off of the Mailman FAQ search engine. I am in the process of implementing this solution.

[Mailman-Users] Preferred Language
I'm a newbie to Mailman so be easy on me First of all, thanks to all of the developers. The setup of 2.1.1 was relatively simple. Good docs and test scripts! Thanks I want to make sure I understand a button on the list information page. If you subscribe it askes Which language do you prefer to display your messages? English (USA) If I set up a list with multiple languages and the chooser picks a different language than the sender posts to the list -- wouldn't the message appear garbled? There is no translation inherent to Mailman 2.1.1, is there?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Help! Problems :(
Nicole, For months now, AOL subscribers have been complaining about lost emails from mailing lists. AOL has a very aggresive anti-spam policy. This sounds suspiciously like one of their cases, especially if you moved the list to a IP address AOL has tagged as a spammer. You can find more info at a lot of places, but here are some starters: http://www.plaidworks.com/chuqui/blog/000118.html#000118 http://www.mailinglists.org/aol/ http://topica.com/lists/topica-insider/read/message.html?mid=1711351060 I have personal examples of a single address email not arriving (multiple times) to my boss's email box. The ugly thing about this problem, is that AOL automatically deletes the email with no notification to the sender or the AOL user. They just disappear. George Halley I resell hosting space, the fella who owns the server is on vacation. The person who is supposed to answer is not around either. so here I am all by myself with a frustrated client. Hello, PLEASE HELP We moved the list from another server She didn't know to back it up there so see mass subscribe about 50 people. Looks like we are having problems with some AOL email addresses not getting emails. Has anyone seen this issue before? We are running version 2.0.13 of mailman. Please help my client is losing her mind!! And me too. I wonder if it's some kind of setting on the server She had no problems on the other server.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman Newbie having set up problems
Howdy, Upgraded my RH 8 to Python 2.2.2 and Mailman 2.1.1 Now I'm trying to get my test lists to work. Currently, I am receiving no email from Mailman. Emails going into Mailman are received. After my initial tests and 3 days of debugging, the Sendmail logs seemed normal and all of the QFiles had a backlog. So I thought, maybe a qfile was jamming the system. I moved the qfile files to temporarily directory. Then tried subscribing through the user website and my virgin qfile has 10 files in it (nothing in the other qfiles). I have not received any type of confirmation email and am not listed on the admin subscription page. Any ideas what is preventing the completion of Mailman? Could it be a security or interface problem with Sendmail? Could it be a problem with the Mailman database or within the program? Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated -- I've came to the limit of my knowledge and the docs.

Re[2]: [Mailman-Users] Mailman Newbie having set up problems
Thanks for the help, OK mailmanctl was not running. I started it up and got a confirmation message. It should have been running, as the the Mailman init.d files are already set to run. Is mailmanctl daemon always on? Should I see it with ps -e at all times? What is its purpose? I thought the Mailman wrapper was the major program -- is this just a traffic manager and logger? or does it do greater functions?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Help Newbie trying to get working..
John, I just set up Mailman on RH 8 -- not an expert, but I can help. One important consideration you need to make up front. The latest, stable Mailman release is 2.1.1 which requires Python 2.2.2, both not in the RH 8 release. 2.1.1 has enough changes in it that I decided to make the update. Here are the keys to complete the installation. 1) Download the new releases and install them. I think Mailman had a RPM available and Python was a GZip .tar. Installation was straightforward for both. 2) The mailman install directory had excellent READMEs. Look at README, INSTALL, README.LINUX, and README.SENDMAIL Print out the INSTALL one and use it as your template. a) Conifguring Apache is easy. Just move the file Httpd-Mailman.conf from the /etc/httpd/conf directory into the /etc/httpd/conf.d directory. Any .conf files in this directory are included in the apache configuration. Edit the files correspondingly. b) We didn't have to make any configuration changes with Sendmail, but you will have to set up a boatload of aliases. When you run Newlist process it will tell you what aliases to include. c) Watch you directory permission settings and what groups your applications run as. The docs will send you in the right direction, if you need more help, ask back on this board. In my case, Sendmail ran as the mail user/group and Apache ran as the apache user/group. In the configuration I set the --with-mail-gid and the --with-cgi-gid d) The most lacking part of the READMEs is the value of the mailmanctl script. The readme's still reference cron jobs. I set them up, but with 2.1.1 the majority of the cron work is done by mailmanctl, a continually running daemon and its python sub-processes. In my case, my qfiles were backing up and I was getting no responses from Mailman. This was fixed when I ran the mailmanctl script. See the recent emails titled "Mailman Newbie having set up problems" f) Finally, you may want to set up Mailman to run at boot up. I don't remember if RH already had a script in init.d or if it came in the install. But I did have to add this into the boot sequence. If this isn't good enough, keep writing the list, and we will try to help you with individual parts.

Re[2]: [Mailman-Users] Help Newbie trying to get working..
John, Comments are in-line with your questions. BTW How Newbie are you with Linux? Its hard to tell from your EMails -- Sounds like you are brand new to RH8, but do you have experience with other releases? I will modify my explanations depending on your knowledge. For example, I've played around on RH 6.2 box for two years as a part time job. > Thanks for your info George.. > A few more questions. > 1.

Good -- and you should have a mail user and group for Sendmail and a Apache user and group for Apace. All three users are needed for Mailman to run properly.

(I hate having to move simple icons -- so I skipped it!) > The apache installed a little different then I am use to and being a newbie > it has confused the hell out of me. Have you configured Apache before? If not, there are a bunch of questions to resolve about how you do your webserver. We may be able to do those questions over the phone. If you have configured Apace before, I was also surprised by Apache 2. I had time to learn it though as I was migrating the websites from my RH 6.2 box. Overall, the configuration files are simpler. The RH 8 install placed all of the Mailman config files in the file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd-mailman.conf file. All you have to do for the setup, is move this file into /etc/httpd/conf.d/ directory. Oops, I did uncomment the one line which is suggested in the file. > In /var I have a www folder - and in /etc/ I have what looks like all of the > configuration files. Correct. I didn't dwell into the /var/www folder, but it is where you can find the apache documentation and where RH expects you to put CGIs and websites. > I am assuming I need to edit the httpd.conf as I don't think the redhat > install took it that far. The RH install provides the default configuration.

Those you will need to hand poke. I suggest the program emacs, if you don't have a favorite way to do this. The changes are really pretty simple -- its a text file, with three pieces. # Comment lines and then the email address and its relay, typically in the form George: [EMAIL PROTECTED] which would send all email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to my email account. This gets a little stickier if you are using multiple domains and we will not get into this in this email. After hand poking the changes, you will need to type "newaliases" on the command line. You will get a statement back showing the db has been updated. And then you need to restart sendmail by "services sendmail restart" This will cause the changes to be received. > 2. How do I change the @localhost.localdomain convention to specify the > domain I want? This is a little trickier question. I'm guessing you might need to do some more network configuration for the box. Did you set a local name in the /etc/sysconfig/network file? If not, you need to set this up. If I remember right, there is good documentation in the RH 8 Reference Guide. Red Hat has pdf and html versions of it on their website. When I started learning Red Hat, I used those guides alot. They are not exhaustive by any means, but they will get you going. Then the man or info commands and the readme's have almost everything else. > 3.I do not want anyone to send email to this box - I just want it to be able > to send out daily newsletters.

Typically Mailman uses confirmation emails for new subscriptions. You will have to go through the configuration files and turn off this capability. Mailman by default is not set up as a Newsletter list, but rather as a Discussion list. There are default settings, you will want to change for it to work this way. My primary purpose is also as a Newsletter list. FAQ 3.11 describes the basic changes you need to make. I'm in the process of implementing it. > 4. That being the case (#3) do I need to setup external DNS with MX records > for this server? not sure. I use DNS to direct traffic to my website and to route emails to the server. If you completely turn off in-coming emails and you can get around the web traffic necessary, you can probably turn off DNS. But, I'm not an authority in this area. You might want to try a separate post with different heading to this list and the RH 8 list. > Thanks for your help... And on the second email... > Ooh one other thing - > 1. How can I test that Mailman is working with sendmail correctly? You can check Sendmail, by making a change in the alias file to send to you and then trying it.

Re[2]: [Mailman-Users] mailman not posting (using postfix w/ RH 8)
Howdy Paul, There are a number of routes to go, and I probably don't have them all in mind. Check FAQ 3.14 -- it was helpful in my situation Also, when I initially set up, my aliases were wrong. Just sent out a post to another question with example aliases in it. (I'm doubting this is your problem, though) I have no experience with Postfix, but it sounds like a Mailman problem. This symptom: >> > - non-list members may not post messages but nobody gets a bounced message can be turned off or on in the administration panels if I understand it properly.

Re: [Mailman-Users] moderation question
Howdy Neil Under Membership list options, you can set all users to moderate. Then un-set yourself and the moderators. In another config panel you set what happens when messages are received from moderated members. On my Newsletter lists, I set the members posts to discard with notification to admin (several buttons). I think you will find this sufficient.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Hotmail problems
Howdy David Moderate the offending incoming email address. There is also an Emergency Moderation flag, which will moderate all users. Then delete the caught email.

Re: [Mailman-Users] New Mailman list administrator
Howdy Melissa I'm not positive, but I think this will work. Every web pages is made up of smaller python routines. Your webhost can give you copies of the html pages and probably the python routines. After modifying these files put them in the /lists/listname/en directory. I know this will work for straight HTML replacements and it may work for the smaller python routines. For example, if one list changes its list info page, the changes will be stored in that directory as listinfo.html. When requested for that list, this modified version overrides the system defaults. Maybe the real guru's on this list can give more insight. Peace, G --- 10:58:52 AM, you wrote: > Hello, > My webhost has recently transitioned my majordomo lists to Mailman version > 2.0.13.
