The error seems self explanitory. The file system containing
/usr/local/mailman/qfiles/ is mounted read-only.

If for some reason that isn't the answer, I suspect some kind of SELinux
or other security manager issue.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman problem after upgrade

[Chris Schwehm]

Hi,

I upgraded our mail server to the Fedora 26 and mailman stopped working.  Here 
is the error that I get:

-
This is the mail system at host mail.eng.lsu.edu.

I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.

For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.

If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
delete your own text from the attached returned message.

   The mail system

If checked all of the ownership and permissions on that folder 
(/usr/local/mailman/qfiles/in) both with the tool and manually and can't find

Any ideas what may be causing this issue?

You got it Mark!
I didn't think to check those paths, and in fact they were wrong.
The error in the log was misleading me, nothing to do with virtual users 
and mysql...

I should have started with the simplest things...
Thanks a lot, I hope this thread can be useful to CentOS users.

Hi Mark,
the router is the first of the list; I paste it here:

mailman_router:
  driver = accept
  domains = +mm_domains
  require_files = MAILMAN_LISTCHK

and the transport follows:

mailman_transport:
  driver = pipe
  command = MAILMAN_WRAP \
'${if def:local_part_suffix \
  {${sg{$local_part_suffix}{-(\\w+)(\\+.*)?}{\$1}}} \
  {post}}' \
$local_part
  current_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
  home_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
  user = MAILMAN_USER
  group = MAILMAN_GROUP


I copied both from one of the many tutorials on the web, and adjusted 
only the variables in capitals...


Thanks again for your support

What is your definition of mm_domains?


   require_files = MAILMAN_LISTCHK


What are your defininitions of MAILMAN_LISTCHK, MAILMAN_HOME,
MAILMAN_USER and MAILMAN_GROUP


   local_part_suffix_optional
   local_part_suffix = -bounces : -bounces+* : \

The list above should probably also include -confirm, -subscribe and

There should be

domainlist mm_domains=aips.it

or maybe

domainlist mm_domains=aips.it:other.list.domain:...

in your configuration. Your OP showed your list mail was using the
transport 'address_pipe', not 'mailman_transport'. If your
mailman_router is first and you are still seeing the same errors with
the address_pipe transport, some condition in your mailman_router is
not being met. Either, your mm_domains domain list does not include
your list domain(s) or your MAILMAN_LISTCHK macro doesn't expand to
the correct /path/to/lists/LISTNAME/config.pck.

Note that if you installed Mailman from a RedHat/CentOS rpm, most
examples on the web won't work because the mail wrapper mail/mailman
and the lists/ directory are not in the same MM_HOME directory. I.e.
the wrapper is /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman and the list directory is
/var/lib/mailman/lists/.

[Mailman-Users] mailman problem with exim

[Lorenzo Coronati]

hi all
I'm trying to make mailman work with exim (on a centos server) but I'm 
facing a problem:
when a subscriber posts a message, it isn't forwarded to the other 
subscribers, and no error message is sent back to the sender

this is what I find in the /var/log/exim/main.log:

what I understand is that exim (which is configured to manage the email 
addresses stored in a mysql database) tries to expand the mailing list 
looking for subscribers via sql, instead of letting mailman to do this

am I right?
and then, what do I have to do to fix this?

thanks in advance

And make sure your routers are ordered the way you wish them to have
precedence (read from the top)

Thanks Mark,
I've read that page and followed the examples, but still I can't make 
things work.
I wonder if all instructions I've found are based on the assumption that 
exim works with real unix users...

Check your exim logs. If your list mail is not using the
mailman_router router, you need to move that router closer to the
front of the routers section, at least ahead of the router it is
using. The mailman_router router uses the mailman_transport
transport, not the address_pipe transport in the messages in your OP.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman Problem: Some URLs are wrong

[Ralf Hildebrandt]

Today I created a new list, and all over a sudden, some (not all!)
links are wrong.

E.g. the archive link on the admin page points to 
http://charite.de/mailman/private/gyn-online-tumorkonferenz/
instead of
http://mailman.charite.de/mailman/private/gyn-online-tumorkonferenz/

Same for the held message:
http://charite.de/mailman/admindb/gyn-online-tumorkonferenz?sender=dza%40alcedis.de
instead of
http://mailman.charite.de/mailman/admindb/gyn-online-tumorkonferenz?sender=dza%40alcedis.de

Why is that? There were NO mailman updates or changes at all... Which
setting (global or list specific) is responsible for these?

For Mailman 2, I suppose so ;-), but virtual hosting is proposed as a
feature of Mailman 3.  If the admin has already configured charite.de
as a virtual domain, I would think

newlist gyn-online-tumorkonfer...@charite.de

is a very natural way to specify list and virtual host at the same
time.

Your original group mismatch error in the original post said the
expected group was 'daemon' and the actual group was 'nobody'.

It looks like there are no actual aliases in /var/lib/mailman/data/ so
where is Postfix getting your list aliases?

Also, you should probably do

  cd /var/lib/mailman/data
  chown list:daemon *

also, it's not clear what the file named 'chown' is. Its name is
clearly a mistake, but whether it's a spurious creation or a spurious
renaming of something else, I don't know.
  
Now if Postfix were actually getting it's aliases from
/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases.db, and if
/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases.db were user:group list:daemon, one fix
for your original group mismatch error would be to make the primary
group of the 'list' user the 'daemon' group.

Do one of the two things it says in the error message.

Note that Postfix will run the pipe as the user:group of the owner of
the aliases.db file in which it found the pipe alias. Note also, that
the group is the primary group of the owner of the file, not the group
of the file.

See http://wiki.list.org/x/tYA9 for more information.

Write them where?

If you mean put the individual recipient's name in the To: header or the
msg_header or msg_footer of that recipient's email, see
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq03.015.htp.

If you mean something else, I don't understand.

Do you have any ideas what can be wrong?

[Mailman-Users] mailman problem

[Uthra Rao]

I have configured mailman on a linux (fedora core 4) machine and set up a 
mailing list. I have 4 users subscribed to this mailing list. I am the 
owner of this list and when I send a test messages to this list, the users 
are not getting the test email but I am getting one. As list admin my email 
is different from the email I have as a subscriber. It is working for me 
but not for others?

I also I noticed that /usr/lib/mailman/archives/public directory is empty.

I think I have two cron jobs running one  in /var/spool/cron/mailman and 
another one in /etc/cron.d/mailman

Please let me know how I can troubleshoot this problem.

Thank You.

Are you getting the post as a subscriber or an owner notification at
the owner address?


I also I noticed that /usr/lib/mailman/archives/public directory is empty.



Does your list have public archives? If not, the directory should be
empty. In any case, it contains only symlinks to things in the
archives/private/ directory.


I think I have two cron jobs running one  in /var/spool/cron/mailman and 
another one in /etc/cron.d/mailman


You should have only one. Our standard install instructions tell you to
install cron/crontab.in using crontab as the mailman user. This puts
it in /var/spool/cron/mailman. RedHat rpms install a slightly
different crontab (contatining userid) in /etc/cron.d/mailman. You
want one ot the other, not both.

[Mailman-Users] mailman problem after 2.1.5 - 2.1.7 update

[Hauke Fath]

Hi,

I am seeing a problem with mail/mailman after updating an existing 
2.1.5 installation to 2.1.7nb1. This is a NetBSD pkgsrc setup; an 
update leaves changed config files and the lists database around and 
installs the new binaries, scripts etc., just like you'd do a manual 
update.

Basically, both the .../mailman/listinfo and .../mailman/admin pages 
have the URLs to the existing mailing lists wrong. They look like

a 
href=https://www.spg.tu-darmstadt.de/mailman/listinfo/rt2-praktikum;strongRT2-Praktikum/strong/a/td

-- note the extra pair of quotes between the base URL and the list 
name. Browsers ignore the part after the quote pair.

I haven't found a way of tweaking this and assume that the list URLs 
are made up dynamically by the cgi script (rather, binary).

Does anybody else see this? Any pointers?

The URLs are made dynamically, but not by the binary wrapper. They are
made by the scripts Mailman/Cgi/admin.py and Mailman/Cgi/listinfo.py.

This doesn't seem to be a DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN or list web_page_url
attribute problem. If it were the extra quotes would be between
'mailman' and 'listinfo', not between 'listinfo' and the list name.

The code that makes the
https://www.spg.tu-darmstadt.de/mailman/listinfo part of the URL is
the ScriptURL() function in Mailman/Utils.py and the code that puts it
together with the list name is the GetScriptURL() method in
Mailman/MailList.py, and various methods in Mailman/htmlformat.py make
the actual link, but I don't see anything in this that would add
quotes other than the ones around the whole URL.

I'm puzzled, but perhaps you can look at the specific areas I mention
and see that there's something strange in your version.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman problem

[Matthew R Anderson]

Hey guys-

I don't mean to give you such a tough problem but I really need some expert
help here.  I've moved my mailman install across a few servers and as of
recent it's been exhibiting some strange behavior.

Key Problem - Monthly reminders aren't being sent out to some lists; I have
several configured to do so.  I've checked logs/smtp, logs/smtp-failure, and
logs/error and I can't even see an attempt to mail reminders, let alone any
errors to provide an explanation.  In all other regards, lists seem to be
working wonderfully, and I've really not begun to tackle this problem after
2 months because I've been so blessed.

The one thing I can see that seems to coincide with the trouble is that any
action on these lists isn't being properly logged in logs/smtp.  Whereas I
would properly see something logged like so:

Jan 31 00:47:35 2005 (1192) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
smtp for 538 recips, completed in 1.197 seconds

...when I see activity on the questionable lists, I see this:

Feb 01 02:01:36 2005 (1192) n/a smtp for 22 recips, completed in 2.479
seconds

n/a?  :)  I can't seem to locate any explanation for this.  Help!

Furthermore, is there a way to manually generate password reminders?  I'd
like to be able to manually kick out a reminder once I get this all fixed
up.

My configuration of Mailman is v2.1.5, upgraded a few minor revisions after
a more-or-less filewise rsync from the previous host.  It is talking and
receiving mail via some horrible qmail/vpopmail system, and mail is
delivered to the lists via .qmail-list-function aliases in my lists.iddx.net
virtual mail domain.  It works pretty nice, I guess, if it weren't qmail I'd
be happier. :P

Any information you can provide is warmly received and I appreciate the
effort.  Best regards,

-Matt

Yes. Just run cron/mailpasswds. In fact, to try to diagnose this
further, what happens if you manually run

cron/mailpasswds --listname=list

where list is one of the problem lists?

Yes, there's an ID on the outbound posts on the list.  I'm willing to ignore
this for now, though.

 Yes. Just run cron/mailpasswds. In fact, to try to diagnose this
 further, what happens if you manually run
 
 cron/mailpasswds --listname=list
 
 where list is one of the problem lists?

This led me to discover my crontab for user mailman was broken in a very odd
manner.  Wiping it out and installing from crontab.in fixed the problem.
I'm sorry for this being mundane, I half expected the crontab entries to be
managed from mailmanctl and didn't look deeper than seeing if crontab -l
looked as expected.

Big problem solved!  Everyone knows their password now.  Best regards,

-Matt

[Mailman-Users] Mailman Problem URGENT!

[OneSunnyJem23]

A client of mine (a PR agency) has Mailman for all of their media 
distrubution lists. Today there was a big problem and somehow people subscribed to a 
list 
somehow sent mail out to it, even though the list is set to only allow mail 
to be sent from 5 designated addresses. A lot of people were not happy, thus 
they kept replying and thus more mail was getting sent out through the list.

I went through and checked the list settings, and I'm 99% sure I have things 
right. I have 5 admin email addresses and set replies to go to the poster. Am 
I missing something?

I set-up a test list, using all of the same settings as the other lists, and 
was able to send mail to the test list from an address subscribed to it even 
though it is not an admin email address. I replied to it and that mail got 
through, too. When trying to send from an address not subscribed and not an admin, 
it was rejected - which is good.

Can someone tell me if I am missing something? I need to set the lists so 
ONLY the admin addresses can send to the lists and no one else.

Thanks!

Hi,

I am really desperate. I have installed mailman on
SuSE 9.1 with postfix and I can create new mailing
lists with the web-interface. Then I can see on the 
listinfo-page the list I created, but I don't get
the Mailing list created confirm mail. when I try to
subscribe a mailing list I don't get  the subscription
confirm either. I thought it was because of postfix,
but I tried sendmail and exim and it still didn't
work. Besides I have a installed 
gforge, and when I create an account there I get a
confirm mail. So what do I do wrong? My machine isn't
connected directly to the internet, but I still 
should get the confirm e-mail at
[EMAIL PROTECTED], right? 
Anyone suggestions? Thanx!

[Mailman-Users] Mailman problem caused by machine crash. What's corrupt?

[Garey Mills]

Hi -

I've been running Mailman 2.1b2 for a year or so without a hitch;
but a couple of days ago the machine was literally inadvertently unplugged
from the wall (actually, they lost power to our whole data center with the
UPS offline). Since, the problem below has shown up. I'm sure that there
is some corrupt data, but I don't know where to start looking. Any
pointers?


Bug in Mailman version 2.1b2

We're sorry, we hit a bug!

If you would like to help us identify the problem, please email a copy of
this page to the webmaster for this site with a description of what
happened. Thanks!

	This is a problem with your MTA.  You need to fix that, so that 
the aliases will now work.  Instructions for doing this sort of thing 
with various popular MTAs are included with Mailman, in the 
appropriate README.WHATEVER files.

That looks the same as Debian Bug #226086

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=226086

I believe Debian users are better served by looking first at Debian
Bugs and bugging the Debian package before going upstream.  I am
under the impression that most Debian packagers prefer that and that
the Debian packagers will pass bugs upstream when appropriate.

In this case we have

the program told me that I am not authorized to create a new mailing list - what am I 
suppose to do?  Our organisation want to use this program and I will be the listowner.

 not sure what you are referring to.  I see a couple of website
 pertaining to mailman.  What is the offical website?

Look at the bottom of every email that comes from the list:
  http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py

 
  
  BTW: the FAQ is open source.  Feel free to adjust it so others who
  follow will have an easier time...
 
 Sounds great, I will.  However, I believe the developers should edit the
 new list script to tell the user to edit the aliases file so this list
 won't have so many posts about the same problem.  Since most new users
 to a mailing list such as myself, don't know how Mailman interacts with
 the MTA.  Now that I know, I will educate the other members of my Unix
 user group.  

RTFM... use: newlist -o /etc/aliases

Or substitute the newlist command with your own script:
  #! /bin/bash
  # newlst: script to run Mailman's newlist command
  # but automatically put the output into my aliases
  # file and then run newaliases
  # For this script to runs newaliases you must execute
  # it as root (or give mailman sudo access to newalaises)
  ~mailman/bin/newlist -o /etc/aliases $1 $2 $3
  newaliases

===
Here is the help information for the newlist command:
~mailman/bin/newlist -h

Create a new, unpopulated mailing list.

Usage: newlist [options] listname listadmin-addr admin-password

Options:

-q
--quiet
Normally the administrator is notified by email (after a prompt)
that
their list has been created.  This option suppresses that
notification and the prompting.

-o file
--output=file
Append the alias setting recommendations to file, in addition to
printing them to standard output.

-h/--help
Print this help text and exit.

You can specify as many of the arguments as you want on the command
line: you will be prompted for the missing ones.

Note that listnames are forced to lowercase.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman problem

[Johnathon B. Allread]

Hello all,

I just subscribed to the list and I am in need of some help.  I just
installed Mailman off of the Mandrake 9.0 disc set and went to
/var/lib/mailman/bin/ and executed newlist and added a list called test1. 
As list owner, I received an email stating that the list has been created.
 I added a couple of users.  I tried sending an email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and my mail server sent a reply unknown user.  I am
using postfix for my mail server.  Any ideas why I got this message
instead of it going to the list?

Thanks for the help.

Are you refering to aliases in the /etc/postfix/aliases file?  If so,
where should the alias for test1 point to?

Thanks for the help.

What version of Mailman do you use? 2.0 or 2.1?
I used to have some aliases for /etc/postfix/aliases - exactly 
those which Mailman told me to create. It's in the manual.

PS. Don't forget about newaliases command after adding aliases
to /etc/postfix/aliases.

I am using version 2.013.  I know the newaliases command.  You mention
manual, however, I can't seem to find it on the web.  A manual will help
a lot.

Well... from the manual (the INSTALL file):

- Running newlist will generate a list of aliases that must be
  added to the system.  If you are running Sendmail, you may add
  the lines output directly to the file /etc/aliases.  You may
  need to run the command 'newaliases' (all as root).  Now the
  mailing address for your list as well as its administrative
  addresses will be set up.  If you are not running Sendmail,
  consult your MTA's documentation for information on adding
  aliases.

[Johnathon B. Allread -]

 
 When you ran the newlist command, it should have generated a list of
 aliases, formatted exactly for the aliases file.  Did newlist generate
 this output on your system?

Now that you mention it:

Entry for aliases file:

## list2 mailing list
## created: 10-Nov-2002 root
list2:   |/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper post list2
list2-admin: |/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner
list2
list2-request:   |/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd list2
list2-owner: list2-admin

 If so, any particular reason why you
 ignored it?

I didn't ignore it, it states Entry for aliases file  It should read
Ensure you add the following information to your Aliases file for
mailman to work

  I'm not trying to be snide, 

Well, your comment seems pretty snide...  Mailman seems to be a great
program since I figured out what I needed to do.  The documentation
seems lacking, but I can't complain since there is a mailing list
devoted to it.

I'm just wondering if there's
 some way this step could be improved -- there are many many queries
 every week with people who ignore the alias-creation step, and I'm
 wondering why.  

Well the reason would be that the alias-creation step doesn't tell you
to edit the aliases file (see comment above).  I mentioned how to
improve the wording.  What would be a great help is to add this
re-occurring problem to the FAQ.  I looked and didn't see it.


As far as I know, there's nothing in the output of
 newlist that says alias-creation is optional. :-)

Then again, nothing says to edit the file either.  It looks as if it
just states alias information.  I am sure there is a way to change the
script to edit the alias file automatically.  Nothing is impossible...

BTW, thanks for the info...  It is what I needed to get Mailman to work.

Which comment seemed like that?  I explain the reason why I ignored

Sounds great, I will.  However, I believe the developers should edit the
new list script to tell the user to edit the aliases file so this list
won't have so many posts about the same problem.  Since most new users
to a mailing list such as myself, don't know how Mailman interacts with
the MTA.  Now that I know, I will educate the other members of my Unix
user group.  

Thanks for the insight.

I understand your point.  It should say something like You must now add
these aliases to your alias file instead of just stating that they are
aliases.  Hopefully some developer-types are listening and could
consider rewording this in a future version?

 I am sure there is a way to change the
 script to edit the alias file automatically.  Nothing is impossible...

Given the multitudes of MTAs, locations of alias files, etc, I'm not
sure that's such a good idea.  But for sysadmin's who create a lot of
lists, it might be feasible to develop a script to do such on your own
system.  (The aliases are pretty formulaic anyway.)

Sorry for my snide-ness... but glad this got things fixed for you!

Look at the very top of that web page, just below the header.  You'll
see a link marked See also the Mailman FAQ Wizard for more
information. -- links to http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py where
you can lookup the 3.14 question Jon referred to.

I agree that mailman does seem to have multiple FAQs and multiple web
sites -- list.org, gnu.org/software/mailman, the sourceforge project,
and various things are on python.org like this mailing list and the FAQ
wizard.  I think it would be less confusing to consolidate everything,
preferably to list.org.  But this is a volunteer project and people
contribute when they can!

[Mailman-Users] Mailman problem with Python upgrade

[Kory Wheatley]

I've install mailman 2.0.11 on Red Hat 7.2 and it was working fine until
I upgrade to Python 2.1. Once I upgraded to this version everything
seemed fine for 5 hours. I was able to receive messages from my mailing
lists at our University. The Web Interface administrator options for the
lists all worked fine. Then messages started piling in qfiles and it
would not send anymore messages out. I moved them out of the queue and
started moving them back in one at a time and then again the messages
seemed to be sent properly, but then they started piling back up in the
qfiles directory again .   Here is the errors I received in the error
logfile. I'm not totally efficient on Python yet, so I would like some
help I would appreciate it. (Quite a few messages on CORRUPTED ARCHIVES
and module regex not found)

[Mailman-Users] mailman problem

[Graham Lillico]

Hi,

I have just install mailman 2.0.10 on FreeBSD and I seem to be having a 
small problem.

I have managed to get in install OK and I can send and receive messages from 
the lists I have created, but when I goto http://server/mailman/listinfo/ is 
says There currently are no publicly-advertised mailman mailing lists 
however looking at the privacy options f the lists I have created the 
Advertise this list when people ask what lists are on this machine is set 
to Yes, but when I goto http://server/mailman/admin/ is shows me a list of 
the publicly advertised mailing lists.

Does anyone have any idea why I cannot display these lists on the listinfo 
page?

Regards

Graham Lillico

[Mailman-Users] Mailman problem...

[Joseph M.]

Hello,

  We are 
currently using Mailman for a few months now, and we were just wondering if 
there is a maximun number of subscriber that it can handle, because right now we 
have one list that was corrupted and we do not know the cause. It gave us 
this error:
 Jan 28 17:00:02 2002 (8965) 
sweet db file was corrupt, using fallback: 
/home/mailman/lists/sweet/config.db.last Jan 28 17:00:04 
2002 (8966) sweet db file was corrupt, using fallback: 
/home/mailman/lists/sweet/config.db.last Jan 28 17:00:05 
2002 (8965) sweet fallback was corrupt, giving up

  And another 
thing, one of our list was mirrored to the other list which overite the 
list. Is there any backup of the list that Mailman generated? If not is 
there a way to recover lost data?

  







 Thanks,

This does appear to happen occasionally - rarely - and when it does its
a pig.  You need to either scrub config.db and rebuild your list, or
restore config.db from backup.

 And another thing, one of our list was mirrored to the other list which 
overite the list.  Is there any backup of the list that Mailman generated? If not is 
there a way to recover lost data?

Don't understand the question here.

 Don't understand the question here.

There may still be a config.db.last in the directory
~mailman/lists/listname/...  if so, you can copy it over the existing bad
config.db and you will once again be happy.  Though I do suspect that by now
you have made changes in the muggled list and saved them - thus overwriting
the config.db.last...

The moral - Backups are important.  How important?  Well, how important are
your lists?

Does anyone on the list have experience with the redhat mailman RPM 
install? I am having difficulty getting this working and was curious as 
to whether it was me or what?

I am running RedHat Release 7.2 Linux 2.4.9 with apache-1.3.22 
sendmail-8.11.6 mailman-2.0.8

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman Problem

[Jon Carnes]

You have an "I" (that's a capital letter i) in the 
aliases file where a "|" (that's the character for pipe) should be.

The actual line in your /etc/aliases file should 
read:
 testlist:"|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper 
post testlist"

The pipe character "|" tells sendmail to transfer 
control to a external program and send the email as data to that 
program.

If you have made an error this grave, you might 
want to look at hiring someone or bringing in a friend with a little more 
experience to help you out.

try 

test-request:|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test

It might be that the Sendmail 'newaliases' is rather picky. IIRC
the '/path/to/mailman/bin/newlist listname' gives the aliases with
the double-quotes included...

I've been using mailman for about a week, and it was working fine.  Now, all
of the sudden, all messages it receives for the lists get stuck in the queue
and never sent.  I'm running on Redhat Linux with sendmail.  Other sendmail
mail is delivered with no problems.
