[Mailman-Users] Re-creating lost mailman archives from GMail account using Gmail API
Hello all, I've recently had an unfortunate data loss - a mailing list which I run was lost in a server outage, and for some reason my hosting company was unable to locate the archive backups. However - I have been running then entire list admin through a GMail account, and I do in fact have every single post made to the list, and I can easily recover all of the posts from there. What I'm contemplating doing is writing a python script to a) Recover all of the posts in their original form using GMail api b) Reconstitute the archives somehow from this data Now - without getting too much into the details of how the python side of things would work, does anyone know how I would go about re-creating the archives? Would it be possible just to re-send every single mail and somehow fake the headers to make mailman index them correctly ? Or, better still, is there an existing script/utility/commandline switch that I could just run on a directory of email files? Any input would be most appreciated, Sincerely, Alias Cummins -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

Re: [Mailman-Users] closely related lists - using users from a different lists
David Cake wrote: I have two lists that are effectively low and high traffic lists designed to serve the same constituency. So that a large number of people do not need to be subscribed to announcements that go out on the low traffic list, the high traffic list is also subscribed to the low traffic list. The only problem is that this means almost no one is subscribed to the low traffic list, and virtually none of the people who might post to it are, so almost every message is moderated. Is there a way to allow people who are subscribed to a second list to be accepted as subscribers to the first? Cheers David (Warning: I'm a novice. I'm replying only because I see your query has not been answered after five days.) You can subscribe the members of the larger list to the smaller list: First export the subscribers using the list_members command from the server command line: /usr/lib/mailman/bin/list_members your-list-name filename-for-member-list Then import those addresses into the smaller list. I believe there are two ways to do this: --You can use the mass subscribe feature of the smaller list to import the addresses. Paste the exported addresses into the mass subscribe page on the admin web interface. Any duplicates will be ignored. This method allows you the option of sending invitations rather than arbitrarily subscribing them (based on your current setting in the admin interface). If you send invitations, your invitees get the option of choosing between regular and digest subscriptions. --You could also use the add_members command from the server command line. I believe this arbitrarily subscribes them without the option of invitations: /usr/lib/mailman/bin/add_members -r filename-for-member-list your-list-name The -r subscribes them as regular members -d as digest members. Hope that helps.

You're going to have to identify one of the delayed emails and look at it's headers to see where it was held up. You might also look at /var/log/maillog and the /var/log/mailman/smtp logs to see if and when the suspect messages were processed. Missing mail may have also bounced. Once your MTA hands off a set of mail to a destination SMTP server a whole host of things can happen to it that has nothing to do with your server. Your best bet is to verify from the logs the mail left your server when you expected it to. -- John Dennis [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

[Mailman-Users] Moderator can't post, vette log entry instead
I have a new set of lists for a non-profit group running on a fresh install of RHEL 4.1 (Mailman 2.1.5 running with Postfix 2.1.5 [sic]). All seems to be working fine now with the minor exception that the list moderator (who runs the group) cannot post to the lists!! Instead, an entry is made to the vette log. He has a hotmail account. He is subscribed as a regular member to the lists. The only difference in his setup (that I can find) is that I have unchecked his moderation flag (i.e. everyone is moderated but him). When he posts to our announcement list, I can see his message arrive on the postfix log: Jul 10 17:35:43 tiger postfix/smtpd[18286]: connect from bay106-f6.bay106.hotmail.com[65.54.161.16] Jul 10 17:35:43 tiger postfix/smtpd[18286]: E30C9D01D5: client=bay106-f6.bay106.hotmail.com[65.54.161.16] Jul 10 17:35:44 tiger postfix/cleanup[18289]: E30C9D01D5: message-id=[EMAIL PROTECTED] Jul 10 17:35:44 tiger postfix/qmgr[19608]: E30C9D01D5: from=[EMAIL PROTECTED], size=3823, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jul 10 17:35:44 tiger postfix/smtpd[18286]: disconnect from bay106-f6.bay106.hotmail.com[65.54.161.16] Then the virtual domain name trnaslation takes place and the post wrapper is run: Jul 10 17:35:44 tiger postfix/local[18290]: E30C9D01D5: to=[EMAIL PROTECTED], orig_to=[EMAIL PROTECTED], relay=local , delay=1, status=sent (delivered to command: /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post lmr-announce) Jul 10 17:35:44 tiger postfix/qmgr[19608]: E30C9D01D5: removed But the message doesn't get posted.

If html filtering is on and there's no plain text part, the resulting empty message is discarded in the manner you described. Dan Dan Phillips Associate Professor of Horn, University of Memphis site administrator: music.memphis.edu That would certainly explain it. I do have filtering on and I have noticed that his hotmail arrives as html only -- no alternatives. I had convert_html_to_plaintext enabled and thought that would take care of things, but upon closer examination I realize I am filtering out the text/html before that conversion can take place. Looks like I need to add text/html to the pass_mime_types list. Thanks very much!

All seems to be working fine now with the minor exception that the list moderator (who runs the group) cannot post to the lists!! Instead, an entry is made to the vette log. He has a hotmail account. He is subscribed as a regular member to the lists. The only difference in his setup (that I can find) is that I have unchecked his moderation flag (i.e. everyone is moderated but him). When he posts to our announcement list, I can see his message arrive on the postfix log: Jul 10 17:35:43 tiger postfix/smtpd[18286]: connect from bay106-f6.bay106.hotmail.com[65.54.161.16] Jul 10 17:35:43 tiger postfix/smtpd[18286]: E30C9D01D5: client=bay106-f6.bay106.hotmail.com[65.54.161.16] Jul 10 17:35:44 tiger postfix/cleanup[18289]: E30C9D01D5: message-id=[EMAIL PROTECTED] Jul 10 17:35:44 tiger postfix/qmgr[19608]: E30C9D01D5: from=[EMAIL PROTECTED], size=3823, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jul 10 17:35:44 tiger postfix/smtpd[18286]: disconnect from bay106-f6.bay106.hotmail.com[65.54.161.16] Then the virtual domain name trnaslation takes place and the post wrapper is run: Jul 10 17:35:44 tiger postfix/local[18290]: E30C9D01D5: to=[EMAIL PROTECTED], orig_to=[EMAIL PROTECTED], relay=local , delay=1, status=sent (delivered to command: /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post lmr-announce) Jul 10 17:35:44 tiger postfix/qmgr[19608]: E30C9D01D5: removed But the message doesn't get posted.

Mike == Mike Avery [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Mike The key seems to be the line, admin(82489): UnicodeError: Mike ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range(128) Since spammers (and Russians and Japanese for that matter) regularly put non-ASCII into headers, I have to wonder if this is due to the header breakage. Ie, you'd think we'd see this problem all the time. I'm surprised we're still seeing this in 2.1.6. :-( Mike Does anyone have a better workaround? If it is in fact the 8-bit content in the headers, and you're sure that nobody you want to get mail from would ever do such a thing, you could add [\x80-\xFF] to the shoot-on-sight portion of your spam filtering rules. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of TsukubaTennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can do free software business; ask what your business can do for free software. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
