Hi,

As of 0900 JST (+0900),
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2003-January/date.html
shows 12 messages archived but it also says there are 311 messages.

Looks like all the messages before Wed Jan 8 13:55:56 EST 2003 (in
January 2003) are gone !


I think the HTML messages are there but the archive index page generation 
is going wrong, although new messages are being added to the truncated list 
on the index page. That said the gzipped text file of the archive is 
consistent with the index page.

What happened ?

Tokio


Maybe related to the problem I've been seeing but maybe not; according to 
message headers on some mail coming from the list the time from the mailman 
server receiving posts to sending them out has been very lengthy (see 
headers below from one message). Before the list's index page was screwed 
up messages were appearing in the archives long before they were passed to 
the mail.python.org MTA for distribution to the list members.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Install issue on Mac OS 10.2.3

[Jean-Michel Biraghi]

Right, it's now OK with that change. Thank you.

My only problem now is with Sendmail :

sudo newaliases
/etc/mail/aliases: line 1: alias line too long
/etc/mail/aliases: 0 aliases, longest 0 bytes, 0 bytes total

Everything seems to be OK with the alias file :
– it's a plain text file
– 1st line is a comment
– 1st uncommented line has 23 chars (root: [TAB] username)

and also with the sendmail.cf :
O AliasFile=/etc/mail/aliases

I really don't understand what's wrong in that stuff...
I've sent a question to the Sendmail newsgroup but nobody answered.

Did somebody get this problem ?

Thanks for your help... (I'm quite stubborn... I WANT to finish it.. :-

Try setting this one to:

text/plain

Hi David,

Thanks for your reply. Even though it would bring me back to my default
settings I gave it a try again and after a lot of error and try I found
out that the messages using OE6's template were discarded because they
included images. However, if I simply type a message and tell OE to send
it as HTML, then Mailman seems to do the conversion indeed the right
way.

Now what I need to find out next is if I could set Mailman 2.1 to strip
these attachments instead of discarding/rejecting the message in a
whole

Well, using Mailman 2.1 to restrict plain text seems to be abit harder
then using a patched Mailman 2.0.x but with some more error and try I
should probably succeed. :-)

Thanks so far. And if anyone has some more suggestions, I'm all ears.
;-)

Kind regards,

Guido

Re: [Mailman-Users] Problem using "newlist"

[Jean Berthold]

Hello Raquel,
This error was due to the fact I had my :
root@atlanta # cat /etc/hosts
#
# Internet host table
#
127.0.0.1   localhost
172.16.16.2    atlanta  loghost
Only with the hostname ...
And the nsswitch.conf:
like that:
hosts: files dns
Instead of:
hosts:  dns files
Then I modified nsswitch.conf to user DNS and now all is ok !
Sorry for this newbie's error ...
Thanks again for your help and have a nice week-end !

[Mailman-Users] Kicked out of archives

[Ivan Van Laningham]

Hi All--
A user has an Imac power book and IE 5.0.  Her security setting for IE
indicates that all cookies are accepted, yet she cannot view the
archives.  She logs in with her address and password just fine, sees the
page listing the months and ways of viewing that month's archives, but
as soon as she clicks on "Thread", for example, she is kicked out and
sent back to the authorization page.

Mailman version:  version 2.1rc1

Any suggestions?

Metta,
Ivan

[Mailman-Users] admindb - "Add [email] to a sender filter"

[Bryan Fullerton]

Howdy,

When I approve a message and also select "Add [email] to a sender 
filter", is it supposed to add them to the non-member filter lists 
under the admin/[list]/privacy/sender web interface? I just approved a 
message and selected that option, but they're not listed in the sender 
filters.

Thanks,

Bryan

Return chars were not understood as "new line" with the BBEdit default

[Mailman-Users] Error after install with "newlist"

[e. wu]

Sorry for the newbie question...can anyone help me interpret this? I just installed 
Mailman 2.1 on OS X with postfix using a combination of directions off the web.

Everything seems to install fine, but when I create a new list I get this:


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bin/newlist", line 219, in ?
main()
  File "bin/newlist", line 160, in main
mlist.Create(listname, owner_mail, pw)
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 437, in Create
self._full_path = Site.get_listpath(name, create=1)
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Site.py", line 59, in get_listpath
_makedir(path)
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Site.py", line 34, in _makedir

  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/os.py", line 203, in makedirs
mkdir(name, mode)
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/mailman/lists/test'

It seems to be some sort of permissions problem but as far as I can tell I have proper 
permissions on everything, and check_perms reveals no problems.

Ed

Re: [Mailman-Users] What's wrong with the mailman-users archive?

[Barry A. Warsaw]

We had some problems with mail delivery on python.org/zope.org.  We
now believe it was a SpamAssassin process that was hanging Exim
delivery.  We've got a stop gap measure in place which is getting mail
flowing again.  Looks like the hosage affected the archives.  I'll
attempt to rebuild them.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Red Hat install

check the doc's that are included.  Specifically the README* and INSTALL files.

Another good resource when you get stuck is the FAQ (See URL below) and list archives 
(again URL below).  Most questions (especially for Redhat 8.0) have already been 
answered are either in the docs/faq/archives.

I would first check the id you are using when you run newlist from the 
command line and if it isn't mailman is that id a member of the mailman 
group. check_perms will normally have given mailman:mailman write 
permissions over the list directory.

[Mailman-Users] OS X StartupItems folder

[Mailman-Users] Confirmation Cookies

I have just installed 2.1 and in testing the subscibing function in the
test list, the email is going to me and when I go the web page in the
confirmation email, I get to the enter confirmation cookie no matter what
I enter, it will not accept anything, including the confirmation number
included in the email. I have looked to see where I can turn that feature
off, and can't find it. When I subscibed to this list, it showed me the
same pages EXCECT the cookie confirmation.

What am I doing wrong?

I am running RH 8.0.

[Mailman-Users] No route to host

[Lou Fox]

I'm using: 
redhat 8
mailman-2.0.13-3
postfix-1.1.11-5

I've made the following changes to postfix's main.cf file:
myhostname = foulox.com
mydestination = $myhostname, 127.0.0.1, $mydomain
mydomain = foulox.com
myorigin = $myhostname
inet_interfaces = all
mynetworks_style = host
relay_domains = $mydestination
local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps unix:passwd.byname
alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
ail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail

I've made the following changes to my mm_cfg.py file:
DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = 'foulox.com'

I've created a new list, and copied the information into
/etc/postfix/aliases file, ran newaliases, then pressed enter so it
continue owner verification.

I never receive an email.  My mail log doesn't even show an attempt being 
made to send an email.  The smtp file shows the following error repeated
over and over again:

All recipients refused: (113, 'No route to host')

Now I poked around a bit, and I found this.  If I attempt to telnet to
localhost 25, it actually tries to go to localhost.com, and is
unsuccessful.  If I try to go to foulox.com 25, I have no problem.  Is
this the problem?  If so how can I correct it.  And if not, do you have
any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might offer!
