[Mailman-Users] Dissapearing messages

2001-11-26 Thread David Ball
Hi there Some of our users never receive messages from the list, despite the fact that I can see the message leaving our system as normal. This always affects the same users, and there are no error messages or bounces received by us or them. Messages sent from the console arrive correctly, and o

Re: [Mailman-Users] slight technical hitch...

As the error message indicates, it's not thrilled with the GID that it you're running the mail wrapper with. Fixing this requires that you rerun ./configure with the --with-mail-gid= and set it to the same GID that your mailer uses (check your sendmail.cf...look for DefaultUser= and use t

It looks as though it may be something as small as a missing Alias/Scriptalias in your httpd.conf for Apache. Check the install docs at http://www.list.org/install-final.html to be sure that's all good to go. David On Wed, 10 Oct 2001, Sharif Islam wrote: > > Sorry about not giving mu

I have experienced the same problem recently (v2.0.6), and ended up having to disable the Mailman web interface as Python2.1 procs were taking down my machine (a mere P75 w/16MB or ram, which may account for the problem). Unless I killed the processes immediately, all daemons would eventua

[Mailman-Users] machine lockups anyone ?

2001-07-04 Thread David Ball
First time poster, long time reader I haven't determined the exact cause, but since I've started using mailman 2.0.3 on my RedHat 6.2/Sendmail 8.9.3 machine, I've had at least 3 machine lockups in as many months. /var/log/messages says very little, except for VM killing all my

Hi Susan. If you're the list administrator, you should be able to enter the administrative interface (http://some.url.com/mailman/admin/listname), select the Membership Management, then just remove the checkmark from any users wishing to be unsubscribed. That same page allows you to mass

The only time I've ever seen that error is when there was no entry in either sendmail.cw or the virtusertable in Sendmail for that domain. Not sure why you'd be able to send to them right from the box though...unless perhaps you have something in /etc/aliases for the username you'r

Re: [Mailman-Users] wrapper not available for sendmail programs?

2001-04-18 Thread David Ball
Your sendmail is configured to use smrsh (likely via your sendmail.mc and hence sendmail.cf), and your cgi wrapper for mailman isn't included in the directory that holds executables allowed to run under smrsh. There are basically 2 ways to get around thisdisable smrsh in sendmail (not

I was about to compose an email about the very same thing. I've been fighting with the Admin part of the interface for a few weeks now. I can get in to see the emails that are pending approval, but at the bottom of that same page, there is usually the "We're sorry, we've hit a bug!". Aft
