Re: [Mailman-Users] Bounce Log file
Thank you Mark again. I administrative some lists in an Linux RH8 with mailman-2.1.1-5 ver. It seems to be problem with one of the lists with only 10 users. The most of them sudenly doesnot recieve mails from the list and they get a bounce score (1 or 2). The rest normally get emails. Is that strange? The list stop sending mails to scored users? bounce_score_threshold is 5 and bounce_info_stale_after is 7 Thank you again -Original Message- From: Mark Sapiro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 23, 2005 6:49 PM To: nikos; mailman-users@python.org Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Bounce Log file nikos wrote: Do also know what cause the bounce.

[Mailman-Users] Easing the unsubscription
Hi, I'd like to know if there is a way to include on each post the member's address to make the unsubscription easier. I receive too many unsubscription mails from addresses that are not members, just because the member of the list is an alias of these non-members, then I have to contact those people for asking if they want to unsubscribe the alias or their single address (will be their admin's work of course), and finally find the alias in the memberlist which fortunately will have the same domain as the people who are trying to unsubscribe. Is it possible to attach a message like This mail was sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you want to unsubscribe, please email us to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and from [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Thanks a lot.

[Mailman-Users] How do I link into the archive page to control access
I have a site with multiple email lists (all private). It's easy to keep unwanted persons from posting to the lists, but I would like to tie into/replace the main archive page for each list with a php script tied into the site which uses the user information/privileges that are already built into the web site to control access to the list. The web site uses the users email as their account and it is password protected. I have a privilege mechanism set up on the site to grant users access to various functionality. I'd like to use that same mechanism to grant privilege to viewing the lists. Is there a way that I can replace the default archive page with a php version which I could tie the existing privilege/security mechanism that already exists on the web site and control access to viewing the list through it?

Now apache is tossing a 500 (internal server e) and the error log reads: Premature end of script headers: admin I'm almost positive this started when I ran check_perms -f, if has anyone seen this kind of error before or has any ideas what could be the cause I'd really appreciate it.

Re: [Mailman-Users] How do I link into the archive page to controlaccess
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a site with multiple email lists (all private). It's easy to keep unwanted persons from posting to the lists, but I would like to tie into/replace the main archive page for each list with a php script tied into the site which uses the user information/privileges that are already built into the web site to control access to the list. The web site uses the users email as their account and it is password protected. I have a privilege mechanism set up on the site to grant users access to various functionality. I'd like to use that same mechanism to grant privilege to viewing the lists. Is there a way that I can replace the default archive page with a php version which I could tie the existing privilege/security mechanism that already exists on the web site and control access to viewing the list through it? If I understand it, you want to replace Mailman's private archive access control with your own php based one. I think you could make the archives public and add your php to the archtoc.html and archtocnombox.html templates, but this would allow people to bypass your validation by going directly to a message or lower level page. You might be able to do it effectively by modifying more templates, but I'm not sure. See http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq04.048.htp for info on modifying templates. After you modify an archive template, you have to rebuild the archives (normally just bin/arch --wipe listname ) to get the modifications into existing pages. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Re: [Mailman-Users] check_perms -f leads to cgi error
Rob Scott wrote: I'm fairly certain this problem was caused by my running check_perms -f when troubleshooting another issue, since resolved, but right after fixing that when attempting to access the web interface I got a 403 for everything. admin, listinfo, etc. What was in your web server error log when you were getting the 403's? I went to a backup of the site and copied the permissions for the cgi_bin and public_html (which contains symlinks to the actual cgi scripts.) Now apache is tossing a 500 (internal server e) and the error log reads: Premature end of script headers: admin check_perms wouldn't have done anything in public_html because it doesn't know about it, and anyway, the permissions on a symlink itself should be irrelevant. Assuming you have sufficient access to read the symlink, it's the targets permissions that count. I'm almost positive this started when I ran check_perms -f, if has anyone seen this kind of error before or has any ideas what could be the cause I'd really appreciate it. Unless there's something wrong with MAILMAN_USER and/or MAILMAN_GROUP in Defaults.py/mm_cfg.py (or MAILMAN_UID and/or MAILMAN_GID in mm_cfg.py if this is a RedHat rpm) I don't know how check_perms -f would break anything. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] Monitor qrunner
Hi list, I am somewhat new to mailman, so please bear with me. I currently have 5 lists running, all configured differently, and when it is working, I love mailman. I have now encountered 3 situations where the qrunner stops or quits. We don't know that the system is not running correctly until our clients let us know (VERY BAD). I have one client in particular that I could loose if this happens again. So here is my question: Is there a way to monitor qrunner to see if it is running? Is there a way to start it automatically if it is not? I am running Mac OS 10.3 Server, on an XServe, 250GB HD, 3Gigs of ram. Any help ASAP would be so greatly appreciated.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Monitor qrunner
Jess Mooers wrote: So here is my question: Is there a way to monitor qrunner to see if it is running? If it is running, you will find its pid in data/master-qrunner.pid and there will also be two files in locks/, one named master-qrunner and containing the line master-qrunner.host.example.com.pid And the second named master-qrunner.host.example.com.pid and having the same contents where host.example.com is the actual host name and pid is the actual pid of the master qrunner process. Thus there are three files that if present will give you the pid of the master qrunner. Of course, if it died a horrible death, the files might be left behind, so you also have to check if the pid is running and is a mailmanctl process. If the files are missing or the pid doesn't exist or is not a python process invoked with a mailmanctl command, then the master qrunner isn't running. Is there a way to start it automatically if it is not? You can test all of that in a fairly simple shell script which will run bin/mailmanctl -s -q start if the master isn't running and then execute that shell script every 5 or 10 minutes with cron. Or you can just run bin/mailmanctl start periodically with cron, but that will generate an error each time it is done with the master already running. And don't do bin/mailmanctl -s start without testing first or you'll start multiple masters and qrunners. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
