RE: Qmail/MailMan - Crashing Children with no cause.
I don't think that's the problem.. To quote Dan, The next version of preline will work just like a pipe from the shell: it will put the main command in the foreground, and it will die silently if it receives SIGPIPE. ---Dan I even to speculation, used the patch in the archives with still the same result. *pullig heair out* why can appy's just get along? -Original Message- From: MarkD [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 02, 2001 4:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Qmail/MailMan - Crashing Children with no cause.

Qmail/MailMan - Crashing Children with no cause.
This is an odd ball error: "deferral: preline:_fatal:_child_crashed/" I'm using mailman as a list agent (ezmlm is nice, but a bit short of my needs) and for some reason when passing info through preline this error pops up in the syslog. However if I pipe the mail message direct to the command itself without preline or qmail, I get a message just fine. the line in the .qmail- file reads: |/var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd timy As much as I would like to say it's all mailmans fault, I can't figure why it would die via only qmail, and not the command line. I'm on Solaris X86 ver 8 Using roaming users, and vchkpwd. Any ideas of things to try or how to debug would be very helpful and appreachiated -Alex

I see qmail happily > sending just 3 messages, nothing more. I have had a similar problem. In my case as well, I had never seen a problem before Mailman because all my other local apps sent mail via usr/sbin/sendmail or qmail-inject, and qmail was configured never to relay. Mailman wants to send mail via an SMTP connection to the local machine, so you might want to check if you allow connections from 127.0.0.1 to relay mail. Allowing relaying from localhost solved my problem. Regards, Kyle J.
qmail + mailman
Hi! I'm doing some testing with qmail and mailman, and i stumbled into this problem: I have this list with 20 members.. 3 of them have mail accounts on the same machine where i run qmail and mailman. The other 17 are around the internet. Problem is: only the local 3 receive messages posted to the list. Checking logs reveals that qmail completely ignores the other 17. I see qmail happily sending just 3 messages, nothing more. I'm posting this here because i do not believe this is mailman related, i think it's something with my mail subsystem configuration. I think i should note that i'm using Bruce Guenter's relay-ctrl package too, just in case. Using other programs to send mail to external addresses works just fine (i.e. local pine, users with outlook, etc) What could be the problem here? Thanks in advance.

For some, the web interface of mailman would be the reason for installing it. If you happen to like web interfaces (many users do), you would have to look long to find something as good as the mailman web interface. I've tried both, and qmail has no problem at all with either of these mailing list managers. -- SSM - Stig Sandbeck Mathisen Trust the Computer, the Computer is your Friend

why bother using mailman? try ezmlm, it works for a lot of real high
volume mailing lists ;-)
(or does mailman have some real features compared to exmlm-idx?)

If user "joe" has a .qmail file named "joe-default", it will control mail addressed to "joe-foo" and "joe-bar", but _not_ just "joe". His .qmail file named ".qmail" will control address "joe". `man dot-qmail` for details. I suspect that simply symlinking .qmail-default to .qmail will fix your problems.

Qmail + Mailman
Hello all. Although this may seem off-topic (regarding mailman) i think the problem here is more qmail'ish, so i thought of giving a try on this list too. I'm trying to make qmail work together with Mailman. Mailman comes with a python script for the purpose, that is called from a .qmail-default file under /var/mailman (mailman's user home dir), like this: |/user/bin/python /var/mailman/qmail-to-mailman.py. This script is supposed to eliminate the need to create any aliases files for the lists to work. Problem is, after any list created, i am able to receive administrative mail from the list (i.e. welcoming, password reminder, etc) and the addresses look fine, but when i send mail to the list, i see on the logs that qmail complains that it cannot found such mailbox ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), but i do receive mail from testlist-owner and testlist-admin. I created a virtual domain for the lists as u can see (lists.domain.com) and added that domain to rcpthosts and an entry like this to virtualdomains: lists.domain.com:mailman. So, i'm not sure what the problem is and would appreciante some help, if any of you has mailman working with qmail using a virtual domain. (i didn't get any reply about this on the Mailman list :( TIA, Rodrigo Borges Pereira
Calling all qmail / mailman admins ...
[previously posted to the "mailman users" list] Try as I might, I still don't have qmail and mailman playing nice together. If anyone has pulled this stunt off, or is currently trying to figure it out (like I am), could you please contact me? I'd like to discuss in an offline e-mail thread all the nuances (above and beyond what's in README.QMAIL) and then post what will hopefully be the definitive "steps to configure" for qmail/mailman. Not that I object to discussing it here (I don't) but if it will help keep the signal/noise ratio down ... :-) -- Joe D'Andrea AT&T Laboratories
