[Mailman-Users] bounce log: couldn't get list lock; endless queue

2003-03-27 Thread NOW Website Coordinator
Mailman seems to still be processing bounces from a mailing we sent out. It's taking forever (days) and all unsubscribe/subscribe requests are piling up. When I look at the bounce log, it says: Mar 27 15:41:16 2003 (11742) now-summary: couldn't get list lock Mar 27 15:41:28 2003 (11742) now-su

2003-02-21 Thread NOW Website Coordinator
I was trying to stop an outgoing message and wasn't quite sure where to do it. I deleted two files in the qfiles/commands directory which seemed to be relevant, but it was too late, the message was on its way out. I've accepted that fact, now my questions are: 1) What problems could I have cau

[Mailman-Users] long subjects wrapping in Mailman

2003-02-16 Thread NOW Website Coordinator
When we send out a message with a long subject using Mailman, in some mailers the subject wraps on to a second line (thus invisible in the subject index of mailers like Eudora). We didn't have this happen in Majordomo. If the subject was long, at least you saw the beginning part of it. It wra

[Mailman-Users] Solaris 8 and Mailman 2.1 users -- are you having memory leaks?

2003-02-07 Thread NOW Website Coordinator
We're looking into patching our Solaris 8, since I haven't found any other cause of our Mailman 2.1 problem (it uses up as much memory as it can -- we've upgraded RAM twice and it just uses up more -- it's currently using up over 400 meg for relatively small lists). As I work with our ISP on th

[Mailman-Users] Manually marking users as bouncing/bad addresses?

2003-02-02 Thread NOW Website Coordinator
I'd like to come up with a way to deal with the users who are not being handled by the bounce processor besides just unsubscribing them. Basically, I want to be able to give our membership department a list of bad email addresses, which I figure I can somehow get out of the bounce log. If I j

We just created a list that we compiled from other lists, and I've sent one message to it, and our Sun Netra X1 with 512 meg RAM is having a very tough time. What really concerns me when I do a "top" is how much RAM the various mailman processes are taking up right now: PID USERNAME THR PRI NI

I'm trying to send some HTML email (yes, I know it's evil but that's how we want to send some stuff) and I'd like to personalize it (really to make it easier for people to unsubscribe with a personalized link). I can throw my whole message in the header or the footer, and it works... in Eudora.

We need a sendmail replacement (for Solaris) that is fast. Someone had tried to get Qmail working with Mailman, but did not have success. What sendmail replacement are you using for your Unix (preferably Solaris) machine? Is it reliable? Fast (how big are your lists)? Not too hard to config
