[Mailman-Users] question about strange Mailman glitch

Hello, A while back I encountered a strange problem with Mailman, which we eventually got resolved, but I don't know why. Although Mailman is working fine now I'm still wondering what the real nature of the problem was and I'm hoping that some of the Mailman experts on this list might be able

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman stopped delivering mail

This is very interesting. I took your suggestion and deleted the SMTPHOST statement from the mm_cfg.py and Mailman immediately started working. I don't know why this would make a difference. I know that we had this same SMTPHOST statement in the mm_cfg.py file for quite a long time, years eve

Re: [Mailman-Users] can't create a list

We're running Python 2.2.2. It occurs to me that this version of Python might not be compatible with the latest version of Mailman. I'm in the process of trying to upgrade our Python. Thanks... Eric >What Python version is this? > >It appears that your email.Headers.Headers class does not sup

[Mailman-Users] can't create a list

Hello again, My difficulty with trying to get Apache to access the Mailman admin webpages now seems like it is caused by a more basic problem, which is that when I try to create a new list, the newlist program crashes. Here's the output that I get when I run newlist: Traceback (most recent ca

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman stopped delivering mail

>What if anything do you have in mm_cfg.py for SMTPHOST and SMTPPORT? If >nothing, Have you perhaps changed them in Defaults.py (Nothing in >Defaults.py should ever be changed)? The mm_cfg.py contains SMTPHOST = '<128.253.175.139>' which is the IP address of the server that is running Mailman. Th

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman stopped delivering mail

I tried running this python script, and interestingly enough it does cause a message to be delivered correctly. So why does this script work but I get "host/servname not known" errors when I try to send a message to my list through Mailman? Very mysterious. Eric >See the post at >

Re: [Mailman-Users] having trouble getting webpages to come up

Right after I first installed Mailman I created a new list called mailman. I would think that then I should be able to access the Mailman admin page for this list by using a URL like http://my.host.com/mailman/admin/mailman/ Is that right? When I do this I get an "Internal Server Error" mess

Re: [Mailman-Users] having trouble getting webpages to come up

Hello again, >And did you restart Apache so it would reread its configuration? Yes. >Are you getting a 404 "Not Found" error? No, when I try to connect to the Mailman admin web page with my browser, I get a generic Apache page instead of the Mailman admin web page. >Do you have any rewriting

Re: [Mailman-Users] having trouble getting webpages to come up

Yes, the ScriptAlias is properly defined in my httpd.conf, as specified in the installation instructions. I still can't get the Mailman admin webpage to come up, just the Apache page instead. If anybody has any further troubleshooting ideas about this I'd appreciate hearing them. Thanks a lot

[Mailman-Users] having trouble getting webpages to come up

Hello, I think I've finally gotten my Mailman installation setup, but when I try to access the administrative webpages through my browser I get the generic Apache page coming up instead of the Mailman admin page. I would assume that DocumentRoot has to be set in the httpd.conf, but to what? T

Re: [Mailman-Users] Can't run qrunner because of permissions problem

Thanks for you response, Mark. However, I've tried running mailmanctl both as root and as mailman and it still fails with the permission denied error on the pid file. So now I'm wondering if there is some kind of incompatibility between the new version of Mailman and Solaris 8? We have run M

[Mailman-Users] Can't run qrunner because of permissions problem

Hello, Because I was having so much difficulty with my old, established Mailman installation on one of our Suns, I decided to try installing Mailman on a different machine to see if I get better results there. I've installed the latest version of Mailman but when I try running mailmanctl to st

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman stopped delivering mail

Mark, thanks very much for your suggestion. I did read the suggested page and tried the little diagnostics suggested there. They indicate no discrepancies, and yet I still can't get Mailman to deliver any messages. I also modified our resolv.conf as suggested, but still no success. It seems

[Mailman-Users] Mailman stopped delivering mail

Hello, I have a perplexing problem and I was hoping someone might be able to give me some advice. I've been running Mailman for several months with no problems, and a few days ago Mailman stopped delivering mail for no apparent reason. In Mailman's smtp log file I see messages that say "all

[Mailman-Users] mailman installation confusion

Hi, I hope that someone out there will be able to offer me some guidance. I'm trying to install mailman on a Solaris machine, with apache, and I'm tremendously confused. To begin with, what would you recommend as appropriate values to use for the configuration options --with-mail-gid and --w

[Mailman-Users] Installation problem again

Hi, I'm still unable to install Mailman, and as someone pointed out to me yesterday, it is because of a Python problem. When I run configure, a module called conftest.py tries to import a module called pwd, which unfortunately is not present, anywhere. Does anyone know where this mysterious

Hi, Yes I am in fact using Python 2.2, but unfortunately I still can't get configure to run. This is very frustrating. If anybody has any further suggestions on how to get this thing to work, I would really appreciate hearing them. Thanks.... Eric Evans >it sounds to me like you

[Mailman-Users] Installation problem

ut configure: error: * No "mailman" user found! * Your system must have a "mailman" user defined This is puzzling because I most definitely do have a mailman user defined. Can anyone help me figure out what the problem is here? Thanks very much. Best wishes, Eri
