Re: [Mailman-Users] Upgrade to 2.1.4 failed - user lost - recover via backup unsuccessful - any ideas?
Hi, then how about 'strings' ? Email-Addresses. A lot of them, although I can't see how many. But I fear something is not right as it (partly) looks as follows: --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] kJVe0ZnAr [EMAIL PROTECTED] John Doe [EMAIL PROTECTED] U Jane Doe [EMAIL PROTECTED] Janis Doe l ElikararU [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jim Doe llerr7U [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jack Doer9U U[EMAIL PROTECTED]:U Joey Doer;U --- The structure is obvious. But I don't understand why sometimes there is only the address and sometimes it begins with e.g. U and/or the name also sometimes has an rXU-combination attached to it. Some passwords are encrypted (at the beginning of the list), some addresses don't have any pw (which is fine AFAIK as that comes from old days) but some combinations seem rather mixed up, see above. I am not able to stop the output in time when I thought I also saw some kind of gap in the list. Other useful tool may be bin/check_db. Use -h option for usage. With both config.pck (the small, new one, and the old, big one) -v gives me okay. But: it alters my backup-config.pck to the new, small size. So apparently it dumps the information in there from some part on. print x ( gives you contents of database) Traceback (most recent call last): File stdin, line 1, in ?

[Mailman-Users] mailman wrapper + exim 4.22
hello. i have installed mailman 2.0.11-1woody8 from debian. MM working under exim
4.22, and working correctly except one thing.
i got a message from wrapper with error code 6, and message in syslog listed below
Mailman mail-wrapper: Illegal command: admin
this message appears, when coming mail to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.
exim debug show, that wrapper run with following arguments:
14:58:36 10644 direct command after expansion:
14:58:36 10644 argv[0] = /var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper
14:58:36 10644 argv[1] = admin
14:58:36 10644 argv[2] = news
so, this something like wrapper admin news. this configuration i got from internet,
and do not sure in it cleaness. so, what i need to seng via arguments to wrapper, when
mail to listname-admin received? may be i dont need to route mail to admins via
mailman router?
configuration:
-
MAILMAN_HOME=/var/lib/mailman

My host reset the disabled setting so that no more are getting disabled, but all the e-mail messages are still bouncing. You need to find out why they're bouncing. You need to check the log files on the mail server (not Mailman), and you need to take a look at the bounce messages that are coming back. This isn't really a Mailman problem per se, it's a problem of a system generating multitudes of bounces somewhere, and Mailman taking that and un-subscribing your users as a result.

I have asked this question already but got no answer
Thinking about this, one thing you might be able to do would be
set a forced reply-to header for the umbrella list, and then do not
set any reply-to header in any of the sublists.
I this case I have no reply-header when I send directly to the

Alternatively, you could have each of the sub-lists set their
reply-to header to point back to the umbrella list.
When I send directly to a sublist normally the replies should only
go to the sublist and not to any umbrella list
In theory, one of the other of those should have the desired effect.
Now I solved the problem with procmail using the FAQ:

[Mailman-Users] Wanted: Someone to set up Mailman on my server
From: Prodos (Melbourne, Australia), [EMAIL PROTECTED] Good morning. I am looking for someone who can help me to download and set up Mailman on my server. Also to install some of the available Mailman patches. I am awful with tech stuff and don't know any Python. My projects are all non-profit based and I don't have much money. But of course I expect to pay for any assistance. Can you help? How much would you charge? Please contact me off-list on [EMAIL PROTECTED] as soon as possible if you'd like to discuss further.
