[Mailman-Users] Can I use my ISP's SMTP server?
Hello all, I've recently upgraded to mailman-2.1.6 from an older version. I currently host lists via a dynamic IP address, and because of reverse DNS lookup, many IPS's will not accept mail from my server because it is a dynamic IP. Is there any way to configure mailman to use my ISP's mail server instead of my own sendmail smtp MTA? Thanks!

[Mailman-Users] finding list members
My organization uses Mailman to manage approximately 40 mailing lists, with up to 1000 members each. Occasionally I receive email from a user who is getting duplicate messages which have been sent to multiple lists. Is there a unix-based command that will tell me which lists contain a given email address? I know I can dump addresses from a list, but this isn't efficient since we have so many of them. I'd rather search all of the lists for the needed patern. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

[Mailman-Users] Slow Performance on Mailman, Next Steps?
Dear all, We moved our mailman list over from yahoo to my server this week. No a painless move but it went OK. (This is some pretty good software!) My big issue is performance. Our list has 2300 subscribers and we do about 20 to 50 e-mails a day, nothing too big. Messages were taking 3 to 4 hours to be sent. I went through the FAQ on performance and have done the following to get down to 30 to 90 minutes: 1: Put in a DNS server on my machine with caching (pdnsd) 2: Used the following mailman settings: DELIVERY_MODULE = 'SMTPDirect' SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 3 SMTP_MAX_SESSIONS_PER_CONNECTION = 100 3: Turned off the logging Some other facts: a: I'm running RedHat 9 Linux b: We are getting lots of bounces: 258 have been put on hold because they went over their bounce score c: I'm using a 2+GHz AMD machine. Lots of horse power and it seems like I'm not using much. CPU is sitting at between 5% and 10% So, my obvious questions are: I: Any suggestions on my mm_cfg.py settings? II: Anything else you can recommend? III: My assumption is that since I'm using SMTPDirect it doesn't matter if I use the default stuff that comes with Redhat or should I load something better? IV: Is it the bounces that are my problem? Thank you in advance for any advice!

[Mailman-Users] Return to performance
Dear all, In my last post on performance you gave me a lot of good advice. Some things that helped: Set SMTP_MAX_RCTPS back to default of 500 (I found a posting that said 3 to 5 was better, must have been an old version) Upped my RAM to 1.5 GB Rearranged how the machine saw the internet so my firewall was less of a choke on flow. I implemented all that I could and my send times are now down to from 5 to 30 minutes. I'd like to see better. Some facts on my setup: OS: Redhat 9 Mailman Version: 2.1 Hardware: 2.5 Mhz Athlon Drive: Single 40 GB MTA: sendmail (default with Redhat) (SMTPDirect) DNS Helper: pdnsd Network Connection: Full T1 from Sprint Usage: Average 12 Messages a Day, 8 in a four hour window from 6AM to 10AM Pacific Standard Time Subscriber: Around 2000, around 1/2 overseas When I check times I look at the time from when Mailman received the message till it shows up on my company mailserver (different machines on two different networks) 99.9% of my recipients are outside my LAN I am looking at disk utilization and see if that is hurting me as well. Something else that puzzles me is that some of the recipients seem to have very slow mail receivers, especially in India and China. Is there a way to find slow connections and group them together so they don't slow down everyone else? Thank you in advance for any and all advice!

[Mailman-Users] Mailman and Darwin and SMRSH, Oh My
I've got mailman 2.0.8 up and stumbling on a Mac OS X (10.1) box. Along the way, I ran into the smrsh problems that others have been reporting to this list. The problem appears to be that smrsh is "dotcatenating" the wrapper arguments to the name of the wrapper executable before searching the authorized directory. So, for a list named "mylist", when a message arrives, it looks for /usr/adm/sm.bin/wrapper.post.mylist -- and fails when it can't find it. My ugly workaround is to satisfy it by creating a shellscript in the sm.bin directory whose name matches the dotcatenated string it's searching for (above), of the form: /usr/adm/sm.bin/wrapper.post.mylist #!/bin/sh /usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper post mylist - I have to create three of these for each group (post, mailcmd, and mailowner). I don't like this solution but it's working. Does anyone know if this is correct behaviour for smrsh?

[Mailman-Users] Mailman
I've just had a number of sites migrated to a new server using the Mailman list software. The new software has a lot of nice features, but I'd like a more basic list program. I just need for people to be able to subscribe and unsubscribe. I'd like the list administrator to be the ONLY one to be able to email the list, reaching all the list subscribers and the admin. being the only one who can read the list and make changes to subscribers. Subscribers are NOT allowed to post to the list. This would now be a discussion list or even a forum, with the admin. being able to control the postings. This is too much. I need a simple list program on this new server. Can you help? Do you have stripped-down version? Can I tweak the current version of Mailman (2.0.8) on this server? Thank you.

[Mailman-Users] Reply-to address is missing hostname.
I am currently using mailman version 2.01. I am set up on a Linux box (Redhat 7.0): say foobar in domain mydomain.com Everything is woking pretty much OK. I can post by sending to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The problem is that when I do a reply (replis are configured as to 'this list'), the reply goes to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] When I want them to go to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I can get around this by setting an explicit return-to address, but this doesn't work for the -owner etc. lists. Is there something dimple that I can do? Something I've overlooked? Some documentation I haven't read? (If RTFM, which manual?)

[Mailman-Users] Problem with bounced mail going to Postmaster (Postfix + MySQL)
Mailman users: I've recently setup Mailman 2.0.6 on RH 7.2 with Postfix 20011121snapshot using MySQL for user verification (with the virtual features). I host a handful of different virtual mail domains on this machine, and setup a Mailman list called Natlpower for one of these virtual domains for a client. They started using the list, and everything seems to be setup properly (that is, people received the messages, and can subscribe and unsubscribe with no problems). However, they recently subscribed a large list of addresses. When they sent out the first confirmation of this switch, I as postmaster for the local host received a dozen "Postmaster Copy: Undelivered Mail" messages, saying that this user is over quota, that this user doesn't exist, et cetera. An example bounce is below, along with my Postfix configuration. I do not want to receive these e-mails every time someone on the list sends out a message and the Postfix server gets these bounces. However, I can't redirect all bounces to them, as most bounces won't be for their list. I know that Mailman is supposed to handle these bounces and take action on them. What am I supposed to do? How can I configure Postfix to direct these bounce error messages to the "Errors-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" address that appears in the Mailman message headers? Or do I have to run a filter program to filter these bounce messages and redirect them to the 'natlpower-admin' alias? And if the wrapper for this alias receives this bounce message, will it take the appropriate action according to its settings in the "Bounce" admin panel? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Eric Ward And example bounce is below: --=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--= Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from tempest.uarc.com [166.70.102.73] by 166.70.102.66; Sat, 23 Mar 2002 18:42:45 -0700 Received: by tempest.uarc.com (Postfix) id DC54A74535; Sat, 23 Mar 2002 18:42:42 -0700 (MST) Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: by tempest.uarc.com (Postfix) id 8EB5074540; Sat, 23 Mar 2002 18:42:42 -0700 (MST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Mail Delivery System) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Postmaster Copy: Undelivered Mail Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sat, 23 Mar 2002 18:42:42 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/report; report-type=delivery-status; boundary="9E9417453F.1016934162/tempest.uarc.com" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Description: Notification Content-Type: text/plain <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: host mx09.hotmail.com[64.4.49.71] said: 552 Requested mail action aborted: exceeded storage allocation Content-Description: Delivery error report Content-Type: message/delivery-status Reporting-MTA: dns; tempest.uarc.com Arrival-Date: Sat, 23 Mar 2002 18:42:32 -0700 (MST) Final-Recipient: rfc822; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Action: failed Status: 5.0.0 Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; host mx09.hotmail.com[64.4.49.71] said: 552 Requested mail action aborted: exceeded storage allocation Content-Description: Undelivered Message Headers Content-Type: text/rfc822-headers Received: from tempest.uarc.com (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by tempest.uarc.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9E9417453F for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sat, 23 Mar 2002 18:42:32 -0700 (MST) Subject: Welcome to the "Natlpower" mailing list From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-No-Archive: yes X-Ack: no Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Errors-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-BeenThere: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.6 Precedence: bulk List-Help: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=help> List-Post: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List-Subscribe: <http://www.wearepower.org/mailman/listinfo/natlpower>, <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=subscribe> List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: <http://www.wearepower.org/mailman/listinfo/natlpower>, <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe> List-Archive: <http://www.wearepower.org/pipermail/natlpower/> Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sat, 23 Mar 2002 18:42:32 -0700 (MST) --=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--= [root@tempest root]# postconf -n alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases command_directory = /usr/sbin daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 default_destination_concurrency_limit = 10 default_privs = nobody default_transport = smtp home_mailbox = Maildir/ inet_interfaces = all local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2 luser_relay = [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail_owner = postfix mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail maps_rbl_domains = blackholes.mail-abuse.org mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, mysql:/etc/postfix/transport.cf mydomain = uarc.com myhostname = tempest.uarc.com mynetworks = 127.0.0.1 myorigin = $myhostname notify_classes = resource,
[Mailman-Users] Add to wishlist
I am a List Manager on a Lyris produced mailing list. There are Spam attacks frequently occurring due to a loophole in the subscription routine. A Spam artist trawls the Internet and discovers both the subscription address and the posting address of the group. The Spammer prepares an identical message to sell goods or services and sends one to the subscription address and a short time later to the posting address (this is my deduction so details could vary). Members suddenly get a Spam message, which sends them ballistic and they write message of annoyance to the list. I intervened and required all new subscribers to be approved. That's when I saw the server's advice on a new subscription. I scrolled down the subscription request and read the Spam message. POINT: It would be GREAT if a mailing list server would reject any subscription request which contained more than the "subscribe ..." commands. I believe our site administrators are interested in the Mailman software. I am hoping that the SPAM scam can be defeated with your software.

[Mailman-Users] Setting up an announce only list
Greetings! I'm new to Mailman and I've read the various documentation, FAQ's and scanned the archives, but I don't see a definitive answer to setting up an "announce only" type list. I can't quite come up with the solution I want, and perhaps there isn't with this version. Ideally what I'd like is this: When members (or anyone) try to send to the list, they receive the message back in the "autoresponse_postings_text" variable but *NOT* the short message indicating that the post is being held pending administrative approval (as it won't ever get approved). In this case, the list administrator would only need select "discard" from the "tend to pending administrative tasks" page instead of having to word a reply for each posting. Unfortunately setting "Send mail to poster when their posting is held for approval?" to no also seems to disable the autorespond text. Setting the above to yes then sends *both* messages - the short one indicating the message is being held for approval and the autorespond text. The problem is the messages conflict - one says the message is being held for approval and the other says no posts to this list are allowed. Another possible solution would be to change the short message to indicate no posts are allowed, but I don't see any method of doing so from the web interface. Is there a way? I'd also like to change the "Welcome to the list" e-mail text, is there a way to do this - other than just adding additional text? If anyone has a better method for setting up an announce only list, I'm all eyes. Any suggestions are appreciated.

[Mailman-Users] Global footers and other issues...
Has anyone had any experience with global footer? I need to be able to place html code or php code as a global footer to all the lists on the server and/or a method to place footers based on the list, but in addition to what the list adminsitrator has control over. This is so that a virtual-domain owner or a subscribed list-owner cannot disable certain code that would be placed on their lists - banner ads, site promotion and such... Of course, I need to be able to remove it on list-by-list basis so that a list-owner or domain holder can pay or make other arrangements to have the code removed for their lists. Also, some lists may need to have special code in place for specific issues... Has anyone done this? Also, has anyone intergrated Mailman into phpNuke or MyphpNuke? Also, does the current release-beta (2.1b2) have capabilitiies to update both the aliases file and the domainaliases file? And if so, what about automaiting a call to newliases and makemap so that they are properly updated for automatic list generation in a virtual-domain environment. Currently, I am upgrading my servers OS to RH7.2 from RH5.2... then, if I still need to, I will upgrade Perl to the latest release, since my current Perl is too old for the latest beta-release the stable release works fine... I have the email lists working under virtual domains, setting all the aliases manually in both files... but I am having trouble getting the web-interface to work under the virtual domains... the root domain on the server seems to reference the alias and scriptalias fine, but the other domains don't... I'm not sure why... Any ideas The answers to these questions and others are greatly appreciated... Eric Sandquist Systems Engineer - IHMS.net

I have used majordomo for over 5 years and need more options than it can provide. Mailman and Sympa seem to be the strongest competitors for this type of service.

[Mailman-Users] Two Questions
I'm having the following two problems: 1) How do I set up the pipermail feature? I have a /pipermail folder in my root, but I'm missing something, because when I try to view archives, it says it's not available...How do I generate the archives so their viewable from the /pipermail folder? 2) I had a user complain today that my new list generated 154 of the same messages in one day to the same user! I imported the list from my old Majordomo list en masse, and it turns out that one of the subscribers email account doesn't exist, so I got a ton of cron job emails in my inbox when I woke up today... Could this be causing the message to be resent 154 times? Thanks!

[Mailman-Users] Mailman on a shared server???
Hello Mailman Users, I've been a member of the list for about a week now and have not seen anyone post this question: Can Mailman run on one of Alabanza's shared servers? I have a shared hosting account on one of those servers and I need a mail management system like Mailman. I was wondering if this is possible without having ROOT on that server.

[Mailman-Users] Segmenting subscribers
Title: Message Hi, quick question - I'm looking into adopting mailman to handling some annoucement lists, but I need a way to "segment" users-- that is, when folks subscribe, they would be able to mark themselves as part of group A, group B and/or group C. Then, when sending out an annoucement to the list, the person sending should be able to specify which groups it should go to (for example, "all the people in groups A and C"). Bounces and so forth should be handled normally since ultimately it's just one big list on the back end, not three separate lists. Can Mailman do this, or can anyone refer me to a system that can? best Eric Mueller http://themepark.com

Re: [Mailman-Users] newlist don't make aliases
marco- I too noticed this. When I run newlist, the aliases are generated, but only in stdout. What I do is simply highlight them and copy, then immediately go to my aliases file and paste them at the end. (Of course, remember to run newaliases -- or, for me, vnewaliases) I could not find any stubfile anywhere with the aliases in it. In the end, you need something like the following list of aliases: ## listname mailing list ## created: 12-May-2001 webbalah listname: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper post listname" listname-admin:"|/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner listname" listname-request: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd listname" listname-owner:listname-admin I actually find the Mailman aliases much more neat and easy to deal with than those required for Majordomo. -Eric marco wrote: > > Hi everybody > I'm very new with mailman and mail serving in general > > I run mailman on a linux redhat 7.0 box, with sendmail 8.11.0-8. > Mailman seems to work fine but the problem is when I create a list > (test) > there is no aliases list displayed... > The list exists but when I reply to confirm my subscription the server > response is that user test-request don't exist... > I would like to create them by myself at command line but I don't know > what kind of aliases i must create. > Could someone help me ? > > thanks > marco > > -- > Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
[Mailman-Users] big lists, big messages
Does anyone have any experience in using Mailman with very large lists? I have a newsletter that goes out to 10,000 people each week, and each issue is about 30K. Majordomo seems to be tripping over itself, and many of my subscribers are not receiving their newsletter. This is Very Bad, especially when the advertisers find out! :-( I'm thinking of trying the same list through Mailman. Any thoughts? -Eric -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
Re: [Mailman-Users] big lists, big messages
Zowie! I seem to have started a major thread here! Thenks everyone for all the advice. I can't pretend to understand everything, since I'm not exactly an e-mail god, but I appreciate the suggestions and will try some. I too had considered going to an "abstract format" for the newsletter, but it looks like that might 1) not solve my problem, and 2) have troubles of its own. Would definitely mean more work for me, the webmaster. (My wife actually writes the newsletter.) I'll look into the use of other MTAs. I have a question in to my tech support people about that. I run a virtual server, and I'm not sure what is available in the way of alternative MTAs. I may be stuck with sendmail. We'll see. All that being said, I do think Mailman is going to be the way to go, just for its robust feature set and ease of use and configuration. I've already figured out how to place rotating ads in the headers and footers, and I appreciate the way it dynamically generates interface pages for users and list admins to configure their subscriptions and lists. Very cool! Again, thanks everyone for *all* the help!

Re: [Mailman-Users] big lists, big messages
Well, you guys are gonna kill me for this, but I seem to have solved my original problem. You may recall that I have a 10,000 member list which gets a 30K mailing each week, and many people were reporting missing issues. Um... it had nothing to do with the size of anything at all. Somebody managed to drop an address into the list that began with a colon (:). It seems that a colon is a control or routing character in majordomo, and that's what was screwing things up. Once I removed that offending address and sent out a test message, we got many replies saying the list is now working. This has turned out to be entirely off-topic, but I suppose there's a chance that Mailman would also choke on an address with a colon in it. Again, thanks for ALL the suggestions! -Eric (running for his foxhole!) -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users

[Mailman-Users] DEFAULT_HOSTNAME? (fwd)
I've just spent most of an entire evening trying to understand where Mailman (i.e., the scripts that build Mailman - configure & make - and Mailman itself) gets its identity from. I'm attempting to install Mailman on the host charlie. charlie is the web host for pretorious.net and funkymonkeybutt.com. A reverse-DNS lookup of charlie's IP address will return pretorious.net. Mailman will only be accessible via www.funkymonkey.com (once I get it installed and configured correctly). I've tried modifying the 'www' and 'url' values of configure and configure.in I've tried passing --host and --target to ./configure I've tried modifying Mailman/mm_cfg.py ...and nothing seems to work in a predictable manner. _Sometimes_ the values that the cgi scripts return (via HTTP) contain the hostname 'charlie' and _sometimes_ they contain one of the values set using the methods listed above. e.g., If I use `hostname www.funkymonkeybutt.com` to temporarily set the hostname env value, `make` begins using pretorious.net instead of charlie. And Mailman pretty much ignores the Mailman/mm_cfg.py values. Everyone seems to talk about Mailman like it practically installs itself and then goes about laying golden eggs.

Reverse-DNS returns pretorious.net for the server's _only_ IP address: 216.163.153.154.

Here are the system values that I set before configuring: `hostname www` `hostname funkymonkeybutt.com` Here are the settings I used to configure Mailman: --build=funkymonkeybutt.com --host=www --target=/cgi-bin/mailman ...and the values I used in Mailman/mm-cfg.py (Pay special attention to the capitalization of the values): DEFAULT_HOSTNAME=Funkymonkeybutt.com DEFAULT_URL=fUnkymonkeybutt.com Here are the only places that I'm seeing those values reflected: cgi-bin/admin: The banner across the top... Funkymonkeybutt.com cgi-listinfo: The banner across the top... www.funkymonkeybutt.com What strikes me is: 1. The two different values IN THE SAME LOCATION on the page. 2. The fact that I never used the entire string "www.funkymonkeybutt.com" during configuration. 3. grep'ing the $prefix directory recursively reveal only two instances of the string "pretorious.net" - Both are in Mailman/Defaults.py - yet the same string still finds it's way into the mailman-owner address.

[Mailman-Users] HTML interface still quirky (fwd)
The reason that I'm so keenly interested in Mailman is its Web-interface. The promise of a customizable Web-interface is what differentitates Mailman from all of the other MLM's. When I discovered last month that the Web-interface wasn't quite so robust (the subscribe script and the the handle_opts script both munge the HTML output.) I was crushed. But then patch-level 1 came out and the world seemed to be a better place (at least from the terminal that I stay chained-to 10 hours a day...) The patch worked - or at least I thought it did. For the first few passes, the HTML looked fine and then - BAM! - it started acting-up again. Now subscribe and handle_opts have gone back to putting " in front of any custom HTML. I've completely removed the mailman (`/bin/rm -r /opt/mailman-2.0.6-1/*` and `/bin/rm /opt/src/mailman-2.0.6-1/*`), re-unpacked the .orig.tar.gz and re-applyied the patch, re-configured, and re-installed but the problem persists.

Greg:
Thanks for the suggestions.
Before configuring Mailman this time, I used `hostname www` and
`domainname funkYmonkeybutt.com` to set these values. I also entered the
FQDN "www.fuNkymonkeybutt.com" in /etc/hosts. (Again, pay special
attention capitalization...)
Using the python functions that you used above, gethostname() returned
"www" and gethostbyname("www") returned the system's IP address.
Mailman, though, failed to take the bait and instead used the
pretorious.net values [from a reverse-DNS of pretorious.net I suppose] in
the blue banner across the top of the cgi-bin/admin page. From somewhere -
only God knows where - Mailman found the FQDN that I had intended and used
it in the blue banner across the top of the cgi-bin/listinfo page. (The
FQDN doesn't have any of the upper-case typing that I've been using in
order to identify where Mailman is getting its info so I am still
stumped!)
Thanks, again.

[Mailman-Users] Read-only partition
Hello, All: I've installed and configured Mailman 2.1.4 "with a little help from [the list]" - to paraphrase the Beetles. Mailman was installed in /usr/local and works nicely there but - for security reasons - I prefer to mount the /usr partition read-only. This presents a problem, however, because Mailman needs to write to some of the subdirectories in /usr/local/mailman.

[Mailman-Users] Change user
Can I change the user that runs mailman? After installing mailman and Apache (and successfully running it for a few months), I have discovered that nobody is not a suitable user for this (PHP-Nuke isn't happy). Can anyone offer any suggestions short of reinstalling and migrating the existing list?

[Mailman-Users] Virtual lists with the same name?
Hello, All: I've searched the archives (http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/) but want to make sure that the answer that I found there is still true: Is it possible to use Mailman 2.1.4 to host multiple virtual lists with the same name? (i.e., [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be different than [EMAIL PROTECTED]) The previous posts on the subject hinted that this would only be possible if there are multiple installations of Mailman on the server. -- Eric P.

[Mailman-Users] Maintainer (Subset of Admin) Access to Web Interface
I have a list maintainer that is admittedly not very technical. He needs to be able to manage list membership, but gets confused (read: can cause damage) when presented with all the menu options on the admin web interface to MailMan. Is there a recommended way to control access to only a subset of the admin controls for certain users, say, who only want to see the Membership Management page without seeing the links to the other list configuration options? I know I can manually edit the python scripts, but I'm wondering if there isn't already a system in place to do this, or someone that's already done this.

[Mailman-Users] Question......
I use Mailman for three mailing lists - one of which is posting only by moderator and the other is posting only by members. However, I am being asked to approve all mail on all three lists. How can I make the two so that members can post without my approval? Thanks for any help you can offer. Warmly, Eric McGrath Rev. Eric McGrath, P.O.

[Mailman-Users] Just upgraded to 2.1.5, mail to list not being processed
Hi everyone, I've been using Mailman for a few years (since 2.0.x), but I'm newly subscribed to the list. Yeah, another guy who subbed because he needs some help! ;-) I've been using 2.1.2 since last Fall, upgraded this morning to 2.1.5. While this fixed a couple of problems I was having, it seems to have left me with a new one. Nothing posted to the list address is being processed by mailman. I have tested the aliases, and they are not the problem: ## test3 mailing list test3: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post test3" test3-admin:"|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman admin test3" test3-bounces: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces test3" test3-confirm: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman confirm test3" ...and so on. If I alias "test3" to another known e-mail address, it comes through with no problem. But with it set as above, it does not seem to get to mailman. I see no new heldmsg-test3-.pck file in mailman/data Permissions on /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman are: -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman 18396 Aug 3 16:03 mailman Couple more bits of information: First, when I installed it, I did that as root. I know the instructions said not to do that. I could not run 'make install' under another username. When I did run 'make install' as root, it ran through, all the way to converting the existing lists (and the web interface all works fine). But I did get an error at the end: Updating Mailman 2.1.4 pending.pck database Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/update", line 780, in ? errors = main() File "bin/update", line 704, in main update_pending() File "bin/update", line 553, in update_pending db = cPickle.load(fp) cPickle.BadPickleGet: 73 *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/local/mailman-2.1.5. If this information makes sense to anyone, and you have a suggestion, I would be much obliged. Obviously I'm willing to provide any other information needed.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Emails Not Getting Through?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Some people are reporting to me that they're not getting the emails from our group lately. Anyone know of any pitfalls I might have set incorrectly in my settings? Does this sound familiar? Familiar to me, but the most common cause I've found for that is my subscribers' spam filters. I believe that Mailman sends messages with bulk precedence -- at least by default. Some spam filters trigger on messages tagged as bulk. It's not always the case, but it's a good place to look. -Eric Schmitz -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
