[Mailman-Users] configuration problem
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.

[Mailman-Users] Configuration problem - virtual domains URL
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?

[Mailman-Users] Configuration problem...
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

[Mailman-Users] Configuration problem
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?

Re: [Mailman-Users] configuration problem
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. For instance I (and you) can accesst the page http://www.deangelus.com/mailman/admin. But when I click on the link to 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.

Re: [Mailman-Users] configuration problem
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.

I ask because I'm wondering if this is a problem with mailman, or with apache and hence only the web-interface to mailman. -arif -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Joe Copeland Sent: Monday, May 14, 2001 1:50 PM To: vijay Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] configuration problem 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. For instance I (and you) can accesst the page http://www.deangelus.com/mailman/admin. But when I click on the link to 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.

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.
