[Mailman-Users] Upgrade Mailman 2.1.13 to 2.1.16

2013-11-01 Thread Martin Hugo
Hi All,

We are running Mailman 2.1.13 (on Ubuntu) and have been for some time.  
Recently the SPAM bots have been hitting our subscription addresses so hard the 
bounces have tripped the filters at Microsoft and blocked a couple of lists 
addresses until I get them to unblock them.  It looks like an upgrade to 2.1.16 
might go some way to mitigate this.

Unfortunately, Mailman has been running so well for so long, I have forgotten 
most of what I did to install it in the first place :(

Can anyone point me at a good tutorial on how to upgrade from 2.1.13 to 2.1.16?

Thanks very much.

Marty

If you still have the original directory in which you unpacked Mailman
2.1.13, look in the config.log file for the Invocation command line.

Download and unpack 2.1.16 into a new directory.
Configure using the same command as before.
Stop mailman.
As root, run 'make install'.
Start mailman.

If you don't have the original configure command, you'll have to figure
out what options you used. First look in your installed
Mailman/Defaults.py. If PREFIX is other than '/usr/local/mailman', set
it with --prefix=. If VAR-PREFIX is other than the PREFIX value, set it
with --var-prefix=.

Likewise, use --with-mailhost= and --with-urlhost= to set
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and DEFAULT_URL_HOST.

See http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node7.html for more info on
configure options.

 Mark,
 
 Thanks very much.  Was able to update with no errors reported during the 
 process.  However, when I now go to the listinfo page I get the Bug in 
 Mailman version 2.1.16 page.  Also messages to lists are being returned 
 undeliverable.

What's in Mailman's error log? What's in the MTA logs regarding the
undeliverable messages?

If there are permissions issues, run Mailman's bin/check_perms.

If there are group mismatch errors, see http://wiki.list.org/x/tYA9.
