[Mailman-Users] Configuration for lists subscribed to other lists?

[McGuire, Tommy M. (MSFC-IS90)[EAST2] via Mailman-Users]

Suppose you have two lists: sou...@example.com and destinat...@example.com and 
that you want destination to be subscribed to source. In addition to making 
destination a member of source (so source sends email to destination), what do 
you need to put as a non-member in destination?

Should it be 'sou...@example.com' or 'source-boun...@example.com'?

Email that source sends out has a from address of "source-bounces@..." but is 
the "-bounces" stripped off before the moderation processing?

Yes, I'm trying to figure out why one particular sub-list isn't getting email.

Thanks!

This Mailman has been configured with the "--with-cgi-ext=.cgi" option.

In Defaults.py you will probably find

CGIEXT = '.CGI'

Putting

CGIEXT = ''

in mm_cfg.py should fix that.

But, see below.

By changed it, do you mean in Defaults.py. If so see
. You should be putting overrides in
mm_cfg.py. If there is a setting for CGIEXT in mm_cfg.py, changing it in
Defaults.py will have no effect.

Also, did you restart Mailman after this change?

If this doesn't explain it, it's some Mac package thing. Look at the
definition of ScriptURL() in Mailman/Utils.py. This is where those URLs
are generated.

[Mailman-Users] Configuration Challenge with Apache and Mailman on OS X Server

[Timothy Jasionowski]

Hello!

Long time, happy mailman administration, first time poster.

The last implementation I did of mailman was on OS X 10.9 Server and it went 
relatively well, but my current attempt at implementing it on a box to replace 
it running OS X 10.11.5/Server 5.x has driven me batty, specifically related to 
the .cgi prefix presentation in the URI.

On the previous implementation of 2.1.15, the URI would be constructed as:

https://server.domain.tld/mailman/admin/mailing_list/members/add

However, in trying to update my implementation of 2.1.22 in the new server, I’m 
getting:

https://server.domain.tld/mailman/admin.cgi/mailing_list/members/add

In the initial implementation, I was using a ScriptAlias to direct mailman to 
the folder, but no rewriting rules.  

ScriptAlias /mailman/ "/usr/local/libexec/mailman/cgi-bin/"

In the new implementation, I’m using an config Include file in the apache 
configuration, as suggested by MacPorts:

Include /opt/local/etc/httpd/mailman.conf

Which reads:

# Mailman configuration file fragment for Apache


ScriptAlias /mailman/ "/opt/local/libexec/mailman/cgi-bin/"
Alias /pipermail/ "/opt/local/var/mailman/archives/public/"
Alias /mailman-icons/ "/opt/local/share/mailman/icons/"



Options Indexes Includes MultiViews SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
Order allow,deny
Allow from all



Options none
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
Order allow,deny
Allow from all



Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
Order allow,deny
Allow from all


I’ve read the wikis and the Apache documentation and, have fiddled with the 
CGIEXT setting in Defaults.py, which currently reads

# CGI extension, change using configure script
CGIEXT = '.cgi'

I have changed it to ‘’ with no success.

Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Timothy

[Mailman-Users] Configuration

It seems that a lot of my emails are being converted to attachments and I was

See the FAQ at .

In addition to the information there, Mailman will convert every message
to an attachment if the General Options -> from_is_list setting is Wrap
Message and will convert messages From: domains with DMARC policy of
reject and possibly quarantine if Privacy options... -> Sender filters
-> dmarc_moderation_action is Wrap Message.

[Mailman-Users] Configuration question..

[Steve]

Hi -

I have recently taken over a webpage that was moved to Wix (which does not
offer email accounts) while opting to keep email at the original host -
Hostgator.  The domain is blpoa.com and is working properly for web and
email. The email is on gator3227.hostgator.com

Mailing lists are another story however.  When I provide
http://gator3227.hostgator.com/mailman/listinfo/members_blpoa.com page to
people to subscribe, Mailman returns
http://blpoa.com/mailman/confirm/members_blpoa.com (and a confirmation
key).  The problem is that when this link is clicked - it sends the user
to Wix - and simply displays the webpage.  The sign up process can not be
completed. I have searched all over but can not seem to find an answer.
Changing *host_name *to gator3227.hostgator.com made no difference. We're
using Mailman 2.1.17.  Thanks in advance - Steve

You need to set the list's web_page_url attribute to
'http://gator3227.hostgator.com/mailman/'. Unfortunately, you can't set
this via the web admin GUI. There are several ways to set it, but they
all require access to a command shell on the host which you probably
don't have. Possibly you can convince hostgator support to do this for you.

Perhaps the most straightforward way to do this on hostgator's cPanel
Mailman is something like:

#!bin/sh
cd /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman
file=`mktemp`
echo 'web_page_url=http://gator3227.hostgator.com/mailman/'  $file
bin/config_list -i $file members_blpoa.com
rm $file

Which server has Mailman installed?

It looks like W.

This can work, but I might install Mailman on P and configure Postfix on
P per http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node12.html.

If Mailman is on W, you have to configure Postfix on P to relay list
mail to W and have some kind of MTA/MDA on W to deliver that mail to
Mailman.

If Mailman is on P you need to share Mailman's file system or at least
$var-prefix via NFS or whatever between W and P.

Either way, you need to set SMTPHOST in Mailman/mm_cfg.py to point to R.

If your only issue is P's user unknown in relay recipient table see
user unknown in relay recipient table for how to get Mailman to write
it's virtual-mailman file which can be used as relay_recipient_maps on P.

[Mailman-Users] Configuration of New Mailman Instance

[Paul Crown]

Greetings,

This is my first experience with installing and setting up Mailman.  My
servers are all Ubuntu 12.04.  Mailman was install to install from
repositories.

I could use some pointers to where on Wiki, Docs or Archives describing
configuring Mailman.  Most of the help I am reading is for Mailman,
Apache2 and Postfix to all be running on the same server.

My scenerio:

Server W is running Apache2, and my initial config has
http://lists.mydomain.com letting me login as admin and create new lists.
Server P is running Postfix
Server R is my mail-relay for outbound SMTP traffic unique to this domain

No messages are being sent out through R or any other server for that
matter.
No messages are being received by P.  (5.1.1 list-email address
rejected: user unknown in relay recipient table.

Any pointers appreciated.

Paul

oh damn... I never even thought to look there.  I really do need to

The ipv6 localhost address was the second line in the hosts file and 
ipv4 was the first.  I thought the first line would have taken 
precedence unless mailman is specifically asking for the ipv6 localhost 
first.


Either way, I've cleaned that up now too.  Thanks!

How is Mailman delivering mail? If it is delivering to a local MTA on
localhost, how it identifies itself in HELO to this MTA is irrelevant as
it is this MTA, not Mailman that is attempting delivery to the recipient MX.



I could understand this with the move to the new server except every
where I know to configure this (both postfix and mailman) I have the

works fine from that box, just mailman is having a problem sending.

In the normal case, Mailman relays mail through the local MTA (Postfix).
How Mailman identifies itself to this MTA is irrelevant as long as the
MTA accepts the mail from Mailman (does it)?

If the local postfix can deliver mail, but not Mailman's mail, the only
thing I can see that would affect this is the envelope sender which
would be LISTNAME-bounces@HOSTNAME where HOSTNAME is the list's
host_name attribute.

Damn... that was fun.  It took two things to get it working again.  I 
needed to rename the server to something with a mx record, in this case: 
email.marmot.org vrs what it was.  AND I had to turn off ipv6 on the 
interfaces.  Mailman and postfix are on the same box.  Somehow the 
mailman messages where picking up the ipv6 localhost address as the 
source of the original message and it appears that being rejected by 
receiving servers.  Once I renamed the server and ditched ipv6 the 
messages started delivering again.

[Mailman-Users] configuration glitch causing mail delivery fail

[Steve Lindemann]

I recently moved my email server (with mailman) onto a new server with a 
different host name.  In previous moves the server name was always 
email.marmot.org (which has an mx record).The server it's on now has 
a different name and does not have an mx record.  I did add the old IP 
address to the public interface so DNS still points to that box as the 
mail server and by the name email.marmot.org and I have that in /etc/hosts.


Unfortunately when mailman sends messages they fail to deliver to most 
of the list subscribers and the maillog shows that the helo used is the 
actual name of the server, not the name of the email server.  Naturally 
the receiving server disconnects when the names isn't right.


I could understand this with the move to the new server except every 
where I know to configure this (both postfix and mailman) I have the 
name email.marmot.org configured as the URL of the host.  Regular email 
works fine from that box, just mailman is having a problem sending.

Re: [Mailman-Users] configuration of mailman with postfix - SOLVED

[Eric Smith]

The issue was that as of 12.04 ubuntu upgraded to ipv6 support.
My mailman install required relaying of mails by postfix but
because the system was now ipv6 enabled, this 
was not possible until add following to mynetworks
 [::1]/128
Thanks to Mark Sapiro on the mailman list for persisting
and finding the answer. 

Maybe this will save someone else the time that it cost me.

Is the cause of this type of issue my ignorance alone?
Why (else) do these things happen?

[Mailman-Users] configuration of mailman with postfix

[Eric Smith]

Hi

I have the following versions mailman 1:2.1.14-3 on postfix 2.9.1-5 and Ubuntu 
12.04 LTS

When I configure post install with the following instructionsi such as this one:
http://free-electrons.com/blog/mailman-howto-ubuntu-10-04/

My installation is for lists on virtual domains
NOT foobar.fruitcom.com
but complete virtual domains, in  this example
foobar.com

Postfix reports a warning:
warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf: unused parameter: 
mailman_destination_recipient_limit=1

Mails sent to one of the list commit...@foobar.com give the following error:
|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post committee@fruitcom.com
(expanded from
commit...@foobar.com): unknown user: |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post 
committee

Is there a suggestion to address this particular issue which I
think is the expansion to `committee@fruitcom.com' ,
alternatively, are there other instructions 

Thanks.

Re: [Mailman-Users] configuration of mailman with postfix

When I configure post install with the following instructionsi such as this

Please see the FAQ at http://wiki.list.org/x/OIDD.


My installation is for lists on virtual domains
NOT foobar.fruitcom.com
but complete virtual domains, in  this example
foobar.com

Postfix reports a warning:
warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf: unused parameter: 
mailman_destination_recipient_limit=1


This is only applicable if you are using a 'mailman' transport with
postfix_to_mailman.py. It should not be included in main.cf if you are
delivering via aliases.


Mails sent to one of the list commit...@foobar.com give the following error:
|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post committee@fruitcom.com
(expanded from
commit...@foobar.com): unknown user: |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman 
 post committee

Is there a suggestion to address this particular issue which I
think is the expansion to `committee@fruitcom.com' ,
alternatively, are there other instructions 


The actual alias should not have the '@fruitcom.com' bit. Where does
this come from? Did Mailman generate it in data/aliases or did you
manually edit Mailman's data/aliases or /etc/aliases?

See the installation manual at
http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node12.html.

[Mailman-Users] configuration problem

[Russell L. Carter]

Installing on debian testing, all packages up to date.

Ok, it complicated maintenance a bit too much in my net to dedicate an
IP address to lists.domain, so I thought I would try the exact
approach as detailed in the install manual with postfix, namely using
alias_maps and virtual_alias_domains, etc., leading to a postfix
main.cf containing:

-
# http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_REWRITING_README.html#masquerade
masquerade_domains = lists.pinyon.org pinyon.org
# http://www.postfix.org/virtual.5.html
virtual_alias_domains = lists.pinyon.org
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman

alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
--

And that worked great!  Using the suggested initial 'mailman' list
I was able to add subscribers and send/receive, etc.  Perfect.

I ran into a permissions problem with apache and the private archives,
so I thought I would stop at that point, purge the installation, and
carefully recreate the configuration from scratch so that I could
document the exact steps for mailman installation on my site properly.

So I do (leaving the postfix previously working main.cf untouched):

$ apt-get remove --purge mailman
$ /bin/rm -rf /var/lib/mailman /usr/lib/mailman
$ cp [my-saved-working-copy-of-mm_cfg.py] /etc/mailman
$ newlist mailman
  [exact same stuff as before]
$ /etc/init.d/mailman start
$ /var/lib/mailman/bin/genaliases
$ /var/lib/mailman/bin/check_perms -f

and I notice that:

$  ls -lt /var/lib/mailman/data
total 36
-rw-rw 1 root list  1132 Jan 26 18:06 aliases
-rw-r- 1 root list 12288 Jan 26 18:06 aliases.db
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root list10 Jan 26 18:04 last_mailman_version
-rw-r--r-- 1 root list 14100 Oct 21 22:40 sitelist.cfg

Ok, first problem.  Where's virtual-mailman (and virtual-mailman.db)?

I go to the web interface http://lists.pinyon.org, but there is
no 'mailman' list.  I try to create the 'mailman' list in the web
interface, and I get:

Error: List already exists: mailman

So... what should I do?

Many thanks,
Russell

You didn't need to dedicate an IP address. All you needed was to
replace your

with

How did you re-install Mailman. apt-get? Source install? ???

In order to get a virtual-mailman, you first need an mm_cfg.py in the
place Mailman is looking for it. This is only /etc/mailman in Debian
and certain other packages, not a source install.


I go to the web interface http://lists.pinyon.org, but there is
no 'mailman' list.  I try to create the 'mailman' list in the web
interface, and I get:

Error: List already exists: mailman

So... what should I do?


The list exists, but it's not in the lists.pinyon.org domain. This
means that DEFAULT_URL_HOST and DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST are not
'lists.pinyon.org', at least not in the mm_cfg.py that Mailman is
looking at. This could also explain why no virtual-mailman assuming
there is

POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['lists.pinyon.org']

in mm_cfg.py.


Which of the following are you using. The changes in mm_cfg.py.works
look OK except the domains in
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'lists.Pinyon.ORG'
and
DEFAULT_URL_HOST   = 'lists.Pinyon.ORG'
should be all lower case.

And, I have no idea what lines 74-93 are.

Also, see the FAQ at http://wiki.list.org/x/lYA9.

has mailman any log or other mechanism to store changes in list

No. (except that obviously, it does save the changed configuration, but
it doesn't track the changes)

Before any changes are made, do

 bin/dumpdb lists/LISTNAME/config.pck  base_config

Then do

 bin/dumpdb lists/LISTNAME/config.pck | diff -u base_config -

to see changes.

Or possibly capture the http POST transactions to the list admin web
page in your web server or on the wire.

Yes, it is a work-around, not a true solution.

The OP says the +tag format described in RFC3696
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3696) allows for this format. I don't
know if RFC 3696 is the intended reference, but I see nothing in that
RFC regarding the semantics of a local part containing a '+' (or a '-'
which is sometimes used for the same purpose.

Both RFC 2821 and it's successor RFC 5321 say

  Consequently, and due to a
  long history of problems when intermediate hosts have attempted to
  optimize transport by modifying them, the local-part MUST be
  interpreted and assigned semantics only by the host specified in the
  domain part of the address.

Thus, I think it is ultimately up to the user to specify what other
local parts are equivalent to that of the delivery address, and it is
not up to Mailman to guess this.

Note that Mailman 3 will make this much easier as it will have a single
user record with the ability to specify multiple addresses.

I see examples of the user+detail in RFC 3696, but like you I don't see 
any reference as to how it is to be interpreted, just that it is allowed.

I can see how you come to that understanding.  (Further I don't have any 
problems with that understanding.)


The only thing that I see (and experience) is that it would be nice if 
Mailman did something (even if it was non-standard) to support 
user+detail format addresses.  What that /something/ is or should be, I 
have no idea.


Note that Mailman 3 will make this much easier as it will have a

I think this will fill the bill quite nicely.

I have already given my opinion on this in another thread, but I note
that the above is not really correct. I think it's more complicated
than that. It is possible under the RFCs that the addresses
part0+pa...@example.com and part0+pa...@example.com belong to
different people.

[Mailman-Users] Configuration Question: Regarding mailfilter based email addresses

[David Walker]

Sorry if the subject is not quite clear, but I have a question on
configuring mailman.  I set up a list for a group I'm apart of, and one
person uses easier to filter on email addresses.  I guess I'll jump to the
example it'll make sense then

Suppose I had an email:  per...@world.com

However, for the purpose of mailman-users list I want to register my email
as: person+mmus...@world.com person%2bmmus...@world.com

As we all (or at least most may) know, the +tag format described in RFC3696
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3696) allows for this format.  However
mailman, doesn't.  Since the registered user person+mmusers exists and is
all good, when person sends a message to the list it gets bounced.

So my question is: how can I configure mailman to allow person to post when
he registered as person+mmusers

Thanks!

 So my question is: how can I configure mailman to allow person to post when

I'd probably use list_members, diff, awk, and with_list as a cron'd
job.

(or list_members  file.new, diff file.new against file: if there are
changes; pass the appropriate localpart plus an appropriate wildcard
regexp [1]via awk to an outfile, and feed the outfile to with_list
assaulting 'accept_these_nonmembers', or if no changes, bail out).

I've not got anything written for that purpose, but it shouldn't take
too long to work out a quick script to do that. Saying that it
shouldn't take too long does assume some knowledge of scripting, and
awk, not always the friendliest ways. And, natch, does require the
abilitity to run/create cronjobs on the machine where Mailman's
installed/accessible to.

An easier option may be to wildcard accept people's domains, but that
could be rather pointless, say with non-(personal|vanity|corporate)
domains and en-masse email hosting providers (gmail, hotmail, c)

[1] http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg51929.html

I personally ran in to that very issue a while ago.  My (sub-optimal) 
solution was to subscribe both person and person+mmusers to the 
mailing list.  I have person subscribed, but set to not receive 
deliveries, for the sole purpose of recognizing when I send emails from 
person.


I don't know if it is still the case, but last I messed with this, this 
was the only trivial solution that I found.  Since then I have done it 
multiple times on multiple different lists and it works out quite well.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Configuration Question: Regarding mailfilterbased email addresses

 So my question is: how can I configure mailman to allow person to

I personally ran in to that very issue a while ago.  My (sub-optimal) 
solution was to subscribe both person and person+mmusers to the 
mailing list.  I have person subscribed, but set to not receive 
deliveries, for the sole purpose of recognizing when I send emails from 
person.

I don't know if it is still the case, but last I messed with this, this 
was the only trivial solution that I found.  Since then I have done it 
multiple times on multiple different lists and it works out quite well.


That is the user based solution. The list admin based solution is to
add per...@example.com or ^person(\+.*)?...@example\.com to
accept_these_nonmembers.

[Mailman-Users] Configuration problem - virtual domains URL

[Marc Perkel]

I'm trying to figure out how to do a slightly unusual configuration. 
Normally mailman wants to use URLs like http://www.domain.com/mailman . 
But what I want to do is have url's that look like 
http://mailman.domain.com.

So - in my config file I have:

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'ctyme.com'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'ctyme.com'
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://mailman.%s/'

Seems to work for managing the list but when I try to use /create or 
/listinfo instead of http://mailman.ctyme.com I get 
http://mailman.mailman.ctyme.com

What I don't understand is why the double mailman and how do I fix it?

Thanks in advance.

It is somewhat complicated, but the bottom line is it will work the way
you expect if you set

VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = Off

in mm_cfg.py.

In a Mailman virtual host environment (the default), the host name that
is plugged into DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN is in some cases obtained from the
host portion of the URL that invoked the CGI. This clearly doesn't
work if DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN has more than just %s in the host portion.

If VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = Off, the host name used is DEFAULT_URL_HOST.

Thanks - that gets me a lot closer. listinfo works now. Create is 
broken, but it's not as broken as it was. It used to go to an invalid 
url. Now it just doesn't work. But I'll look into that. Thanks for your 
help.

This is the standard Debian repository version of mailman.  Any debian

The installation of your package is trying to run something on the
order of

bin/withlist -a -r unicodify_archives

[Mailman-Users] Configuration check

[David Southwell]

Hi

Is there a mailman command that dumps the current running configuration 
options?

I have been having trouble with the --with-mail-gid=mailman option and errors 
reports. I am wanting to check whether I am getting the errors messages. This 
means either --with-mail-gid=mailman is not set OR something else is going 
wrong. I believe the latter to be the case OR something is not correct with 
the compile.

If you mean the options specified to configure when the software was
initially configured, the answer is No. Some options are evident in
certain settings in Defaults.py, but --with-mail-gid isn't one of them.


I have been having trouble with the --with-mail-gid=mailman option and errors 
reports. I am wanting to check whether I am getting the errors messages. This 
means either --with-mail-gid=mailman is not set OR something else is going

Did you configure and make Mailman? If so, the configure command line
should be available in config.log in the directory you configured in.

If this is a package, be aware that various packagers use various
tricks to enable setting of the expected mail group at run time.

[Mailman-Users] Configuration Question

[Jay Chandler]

Greetings.

I'm a bit new to Mailman, as I've yet to actually install it on anything.

We currently have a majordomo server that's aging, and I'd prefer to 
replace it with Mailman for a number of reasons.

Is there any reason I can't run Mailman on our outbound SMTP server, or 
would I want to locate it somewhere else?  I'd like to avoid giving it 
its own dedicated box if at all possible, but I also don't want it to 
complicate the sending of generic mail, either in terms of hostnames or 
in overhead.

FreeBSD 6.1 and Postfix are the relevant pieces.

Thanks very much in advance.

Well, a lot will depend on your specific mail server and mailing list 
configuration, but I certainly don't see any reason why you can't run 
them both on the same machine.  I think that this is the most typical 
type of installation, anyway.

It works in both directions.

[Mailman-Users] Configuration back to to ascii config file?

[Mauricio Tavares]

   Let's see if I make sense. I know I can create a mailing list config 
file as an ascii file and then feed it in (I forgot the name of the 
command so I am not going to worry about it) to the mailing list to 
create its binary config file.  When I go to the admin page, I can also 
change its settings. But, let's say I come up with really neat settings 
and would like to apply them to a few more mailing lists. Is there a way 
I can save the configuration of a given mailing list back to an ascii 
file so I can do any minor changes and feed it to the other lists?

  bin/config_list --help

It works in both directions.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Configuration back to to ascii config file?

[Jeff Pflueger]

So then: Are the command line scripts the best way to create a duplicate 
set of configurations, mailing list lists, and list members on another 
mailman running on another server, or is it possible (and preferable) to 
figure out which mailman files should be copied over to the second 
server to create the duplicate settings, lists, and members?

If I were automating this process would I rsync the specific files, or 
write a cron script to run the various python scripts, send them over to 
the other server and then have the other server run a cron script to 
import the settings, lists and members

Thanks,
Jeff

This is a different question. The original question was how to transfer
the settings from one list to another. Your question, is if I
understand, how best to back up a Mailman installation on another
server.

If I were automating this process would I rsync the specific files, or 
write a cron script to run the various python scripts, send them over to 
the other server and then have the other server run a cron script to 
import the settings, lists and members

I'm not sure of the best way to do this. You could just sync the files
in the lists/ and archives/ directories. This may be sufficient, but
you may also want to consider qfiles/

[Mailman-Users] configuration files

[Thomas Krichel]

  Hi,

  I work as a volunteer for NEP: New Economics Paper, see 
  http://nep.repec.org. We have a lot of lists. All have
  identical setup, bar the name, title, and owners. I need
  to automate the configuration. But that does not seem to
  work. It has not been working for months. I wrote to
  the Debian maintainer but I have no response.  I am in dispair.

  I run the version of mailman distributed with the testing
  verison of Debian

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /home/admnep/mailman/bin/version 
Using Mailman version: 2.1.4

  I can create a test list

sh-2.05b$ /var/lib/mailman/bin/newlist testlist [EMAIL PROTECTED] testpass
To finish creating your mailing list, you must edit your /etc/aliases (or
equivalent) file by adding the following lines, and possibly running the
`newaliases' program:

## testlist mailing list
testlist:  |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post testlist
testlist-admin:|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin testlist
testlist-bounces:  |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces testlist
testlist-confirm:  |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm testlist
testlist-join: |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join testlist
testlist-leave:|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave testlist
testlist-owner:|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner testlist
testlist-request:  |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request testlist
testlist-subscribe:|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe testlist
testlist-unsubscribe:  |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe testlist

Hit enter to notify testlist owner...

  I can then output its configuration

/var/lib/mailman/bin/config_list  -o /tmp/testlist.conf testlist

  I can use the same testlist file to configure my list

/var/lib/mailman/bin/config_list  -i /tmp/testlist.conf testlist

  No error reported, but the list is missconfiguered and can not
  be accessed on the web interface. Here is what's happening, say
  if I want to configure again

sh-2.05b$ /var/lib/mailman/bin/config_list  -i /tmp/testlist.conf testlist
sh-2.05b$ /var/lib/mailman/bin/config_list  -o /tmp/testlist.conf testlist

[Mailman-Users] Configuration Question

[Justin W. Pauler]

To Whom It May Concern:

I'm trying to get my mailman configuration correct, but I'm having trouble
selecting the right options. 

More or less, I need to configure the list to allow anyone to post and then
receive a notice saying that the post was sent to the 'Support Team'. Only
those people whom I have subscribed manually will receive the message, but
most importantly, this message will forward directly to the list without
requiring moderator approval. I'm trying to set this up for users to forward
trouble tickets directly to our staff of volunteers.

Any ideas?

[Mailman-Users] Configuration problem...

[Anders Norrbring]

Hi everybody,

I hope somebody can help me out with a small problem, when accessing the
'listinfo' page, the admin address line gets wrong, it shows 'Send questions
or comments to [EMAIL PROTECTED]' where the correct address of
course should be the domain name WITHOUT the leading 'www'.  I can't seem to
find the point to adjust..

My mm_cfg.py looks like this:

def _(s):
 return s
add_language('en',   _('English (USA)'),   'iso-8859-1')
del _
DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = 'the-server.net'
DEFAULT_URL = 'http://www.the-server.net/mailman/'
MAILMAN_OWNER = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' % DEFAULT_HOST_NAME

Re: [Mailman-Users] Configuration

Add the following to your httpd.conf file and restart apache. Be sure and 
change the paths to match your setup. These are the paths that Redhat uses 
for Mailman install, but sounds like Mandrake is different.

ScriptAlias /mailman/ /var/mailman/cgi-bin/
Alias /pipermail/ /var/mailman/archives/public/
Directory /var/mailman/archives
Options +FollowSymlinks

Thanks a lot Richard:

It works now.

I added the content of  file named mailman.conf in directory
/etc/httpd/conf  to /etc/httpd/conf/commonhttpd.conf into the alias
section (at the end of the section)

I or somebody else may need to write a mini-howto Mailman-Mandrake

[Mailman-Users] Configuration (virtual domains) doesn't work

[Jos Elkink]

Hi,

I'm a bit at a loss what is going wrong, especially because there is
nothing reported in any log files. When I send an email, the
mail/wrapper exits with 1, without any other info on what goes wrong,
and when I go to the webpages of my mailman, it tells me there's a bug
and I should look into the log files, which do not say anything.

Below is my mm_cfg.py file - is there anything wrong with it?

Note that the binaries with mailman work fine - e.g. I can create a list
or add members, using 'addlist' or 'addmembers', after setting the
DOMAIN environment variable.

The documentation of Exim 4, which is what I use, says that Exim does
set the DOMAIN variable. And a PHP script to read HTTP_HOST also works
fine. So those environment variables also should not be the problem. But
what then is? :)

What could be wrong?
And is there a way to have mailman report much more in the logs? Some
debug setting?

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Jos

-mm_cfg.py---

###
#Here's where we get the distributed defaults.#

from Defaults import *

#
# Get domain-specific settings. #

import os
import string

def loadDomainDefaults ( name ):
definition =

exec definition in globals()

[Mailman-Users] Configuration assistance - virtual host?

[Sarah Baker]

I've read recent discussion and outline of the 
virtual hosting feature. But it's not 100%
clear to me it will work to reach my goal.

Mail in my land all only comes to a central server foo.org
who then directs mail to several servers 
(ie server1.foo.org, server2.foo.org, etc)
using virtual user tables. 

For example
[EMAIL PROTECTED]goes to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]goes to [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I want Mailman to play in this environment such that
[EMAIL PROTECTED] goes to [EMAIL PROTECTED] via 
virtual user table on foo.org
and
the list on mailmainserver.foo.org
uses the [EMAIL PROTECTED] name in mail headers, 
and the web pages reflect it without hand 
editting each page, etc.

Will virtual hosting met my requirements?
I get the impression it will, but before I go off
and try to set it up - I thought to check in.
Any gotchas?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Configuration assistance - virtual host?

[Jon Carnes]

Mailman will handle this type of virtual situation very well.

 I've read recent discussion and outline of the

 clear to me it will work to reach my goal.
 
 Mail in my land all only comes to a central server foo.org
 who then directs mail to several servers 
 (ie server1.foo.org, server2.foo.org, etc)
 using virtual user tables. 
 
 For example
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]goes to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]goes to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
 
 I want Mailman to play in this environment such that
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] goes to [EMAIL PROTECTED] via 
 virtual user table on foo.org
 and
 the list on mailmainserver.foo.org
 uses the [EMAIL PROTECTED] name in mail headers, 
 and the web pages reflect it without hand 
 editting each page, etc.
 
 Will virtual hosting met my requirements?
 I get the impression it will, but before I go off
 and try to set it up - I thought to check in.
 Any gotchas?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Configuration

[Jon Carnes]

Surely you haven't read the documentation...

To quote Jeremy Portzer:
To find out information about an RPM's maker, etc., run rpm -qip
filename.rpm .  If you run that command on the Red Hat Linux
mailman-2.0.13-1.i386.rpm, you'll see a bunch of EXTREMELY important
setup notes -- things you must do after installing the RPM.  Follow
those instructions!  Don't complain if you don't follow them and stuff
doesn't work!  *grin*

If that doesn't resolve your problems, then check out the FAQ entry:

Take care - Jon Carnes

[Mailman-Users] Configuration

[Edwin Humphries]

I'm a relative newbie, trying to set up Mailman on a RH7.2 box.

I've installed into the default locations, tested as suggested, and set up a test 
list. My 
mailbox receives the Your new mailing list message. Clicking on the links gets a 404 
message. 
I've enabled the execcgi in httpd.conf for the mailman/cgi-bin directory.

The apache error_log file shows:
[error] [client 144.137.89.83] File does not exist: /var/www/html/admin/test
[error] [client 144.137.89.83] File does not exist: /var/www/html/listinfo/test

Can anyone advise further?

[Mailman-Users] configuration

[Denis Heitbrock]

hi,

how can i setup (over the web-interface??) that the admin has to check every
mail which is send by a subscribed user / or not subscribed user to the
mailling list.

example:
user a (he subscribed to the list) want to send a mail to the [EMAIL PROTECTED]
newslist.

there is an admin tool (web-interface) where the admin then can defer,
approve, reject por discard this mail.
on the web interface the topic is: posting held for approval.

thxxx for help.

[Mailman-Users] Configuration problem

[Larry Chuon]

Hi everyone,

Yesterday, I posted a message stating that I had problem with configuring
mailman.  I finally resolved a pice of the puzzle.  Basically, it had to do
with my Sendmail configuration.  When I do a netstat, I show the following
now:
tcp0  0 0.0.0.0:25  0.0.0.0:*   LISTEN

Where as before, 0.0.0.0 was my IP address instead.  Now everything seems to
work, EXCEPT for one thing: I can't send anything to the list.  This problem
is two folds.

1. First, I subscribe to the list from the web. Then, I receive a
confirmation email.  When I reply, nothing happens.  My subscribe log shows
a pending.
2. I try to send a test email to the list.  Nothing happen either.  Then, I
did a little test.  I added myself to the list via admin tool.  After I I
receive a welcome message.  Follow that, I send another test email.  Nothing
happens again.

FYI, I ran newaliases after I added the list info in the aliases file.

Since I have a local account on the box, I am able to send and receive
email.  First thing in my mind was, it got to be Sendmail again.
Unfortunately, I  exhausted my rehaust.  Can someone help me please?

Larry

[Mailman-Users] configuration question

[Christopher Adams]

I inherited an installation of Mailman, v. 1.1. I can set up a new list
and subcribe. When I am asked for confirmation, I click on the link to
reply and get the message:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]: Command died with status 2:
/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd manouche

So, I went in and ran configure again (without any switches) and got the
same result.


So, I checked my syslog and it gives this message:

Mailman mail-wrapper: Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 12345, got  gid
60001. (Reconfigure to take 60001?).

So, I ran configure again with the switch:

 --with-mail-gid=12345. In my group file, the mailer (Postfix) is 12345
and nobody is 60001. The Docs say that the default for with-cgi-gid is
nobody. 

So, what next?

I see in the Docs that I don't have to be Root to install Mailman, only
to set permissions. However, I have to log in as Root to run configure.
Would this make a difference?

[Mailman-Users] configuration problems

[Michael Powe]

Hello,

I set up MailMan according to the instructions and it 'seems' to be
working.  But, it's not working correctly.  I have set it up on a
Slackware linux 7.1 machine, Apache  sendmail.  When I log into the
web interface and add some users, that seems to work.  The users that
I add all get the notification of subscription.  But, when one of the
users posts to the list, I'm the only one who gets a copy of the
mail.  

I think this may be because of the way my incoming mail is handled.  I
have a DSL connection w/domain and the mail goes to my ISP, from where
I download it via fetchmail.  Fetchmail hands it to sendmail on port
25 but it seems that the aliases are not invoked and it just goes into
my inbox instead of getting recycled.  I've set up two test lists and
the behavior is the same on both.  I did run 'newaliases' after adding
the aliases to the /etc/aliases file.  No procmail recipes are being
run on the incoming mail at this point.

I would sure appreciate any suggestions, as I need to get this setup
operational asap.

You need procmail. fetchmail and sendmail are looking at the envelope
address, which is your mailbox.

Thank you for the reply.  

I'm not sure I see how to work this, though.  I know how to use
ENVELOPE_TO to forward mail; should I use it to pipe mail back to
sendmail?  Hmm.

[Mailman-Users] configuration restrictions

[Albert Agusti]

Hello

I'm testing mailman to substitute Majordomo. It seems to be more
flexible, with many more features and options and more user friendly, so
the choice is easy :-)
I need to create a relative special set of lists. I'm very interested
that people who owns a list (list moderator-approval), would be able to
add, remove people from the list and approve the postings if it's the
case, so I want them to access the web interface as list-owners.
In the other hand I DON'T WANT let them modify the configuration options
of the lists being managed. I want to create the list with a template
(all are closely the same) and pass the day by day operation of the
list, but with no choice of human error removing the lists, changing the
permisions for posting, filters, digest format, and so on.
Is this possible ?
It would be great if I can hide the options in the web interface, but is
enough if they are blocked.

Thanks in advance

access the test2 list, the webserver times out.

I think that the ScriptAlias directive in apache is doing it's job fine.

ScriptAlias /mailman/ /var/mailman/cgi-bin/

It must be since I am able to access the page
http://www.deangelus.com/mailman/admin and
http://www.deangelus.com/mailman/listinfo.

The breakdown appears when I try to administer the individual list or try to
subscribe to the individual list.  That is the information contained in
/var/mailman/lists/test2

Is there any way I can get some more information that may help resolve this
problem?  The error logs show nothing helpful.

What is interesting is if I go to try to administer a nonexistent list such
as http://www.deangelus.com/mailman/admin/no_such_list, I get a proper reply
from Mailman saying that the list does not exist and an error in the
../mailman/logs/error file.  But when I try to administer an existing list,
Mailman hangs on me.

Thanks for you help,

Joe

 Hello joe,

 webserver is unable to resolve your hostname or domainname, by
 default Mailman takes system configuration like hostname etc. Check you
 DEFAULT_URL in Mailman/Defaults.py. change it to your
 http://IPADDRESS/mailman.

  Hi,
 
  I'm trying to set up mailman but I'm not getting something right.
 
  When I go to my mailman site's admin page,
  http://www.deangeuls.com/mailman/admin, I can see a list of links that
  I
  have set up with the ./newlist command.  But when I click on one of the
  links to administer the list, I get nowhere.
 
  I'm Running RH7.1 and Apache.  Any ideas what's wrong?  I tried
  installing
  off the tarball and the RPM from Red Hat, but I can't get over this big
  hump.
 
  Joe

Re: [Mailman-Users] configuration problem

[Joe Copeland]

Ok, now I'm getting somewhere with this mailman installation.

I intstalled the mailman RPM on my laptop which has RH7.0 installed.  I can
now peruse the ../admin/testlist page.  I couldn't do that with the RH7.1.
So there's something about RH7.1 that prohibits mailman from working
properly.  One of the differences between RH7.1 and RH7.0 are some security
tweaks.

Figuring this one out is going to be a challenge for me since I'm no expert.
If anyone gets mailman working on RH7.1 please let me, and the list know how
you did it.

Thanks,

Joe

 Just out of curiosity, does the list itself work?  I ask because I'm
 wondering if this is a problem with mailman, or with apache and hence only
 the web-interface to mailman.

 I am able to access the admin and listinfo page fine.  The error comes
when
 I try to delve deeper into modifying the list information itself.

[Mailman-Users] Configuration questions

[Michael Neel]

Hi all,

I'm currently installing Mailman for announcement only Newsletter
style lists, and it will be used across several virt domains.  I have a few
questions that I haven't yet found the answer too...

Where/Can you change the from/to address to display the name of the
list, rather than email address (i.e. have mailman build the from line in
the form of From: The List [EMAIL PROTECTED])?  I have it set to hide the
sender, but I'd like to display a more user-friendly from and to address.

Can you change the templates (such as the subscribeack.txt) on a per
list basis?

I have my list setup in the normal way recommended for an announcement
only list (require admin approval, allow from these addresses) - but I'd
like to reject any posts not from select addresses automatically, and then
still require admin approval on those that can post.  This would prevent any
spoofing, and still give me a chance to defer the post and send it to some
one to proofread before it went out.

Anything to be aware of with 100,000+ lists?

Thanks,
Mike

[Mailman-Users] Configuration file for Virtual Account

[Thomas Speight]

I am using Mailman through a virtual account.  My list which has 1500 
subscribers has not emailed all of the members for a week some receive them 
but others do not.  Would there be a problem if the former hosting company 
did not shut down the old account?


My current hosting company says that the Mailman list setup for me does not 
have a configuration file [unsure if it is tad.cfg (tad being the name of 
the list)or what?].  This list has only members in the Digest mode.

It there a config file for each list and what is it named?

Thanks for your guidance.

Thomas
