[Mailman-Users] Mail interface for moderator administration?
Does Mailman allow moderators to use email interface for moderator tasks? For example, for the list [EMAIL PROTECTED], regular subscribers can unsubscribe by sending a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with the word 'unsubscribe' in the subject or body. Can a moderator similarly send a command, for example to reject or approve of a message sent to a moderated list? If so, where can I find information on how to operate Mailman this way, including a listing of existing moderator commands? I am considering to 'migrate' from ezmlm, and one strong side of ezmlm is that it can be operated completely via email interface by moderators. It would greatly facilitate the migration if Mailman could be accessed in similar fashion.

[Mailman-Users] Auto-resending mails to sublists
Hi, I'd like to have a couple of lists: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], ..., [EMAIL PROTECTED] And when someone sends mail for example to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it'd be resent automatically to year3, year4 and year5. Is it doable with standard mailman (preferably 2.1.5), or does it need some changes to the code? Would it be easy to implement or not? Or maybe mailman has some kind of modules/plugins?

[Mailman-Users] case problems when customizing pipermail templates
Hello, I'm trying to customize a Pipermail archive template to contain the name of the list which is used in URLs, in other words, completely lower case. From the list config, I thought it was this variable: # list_name - The name by which the list is identified in URLs, where # case is significant. So I tried putting %(list_name)s in my Pipermail templates, but the upper-case name keeps getting substituted when archives are generated. How can I substitute the lowercase name to generate a URL for list info? Note that I cannot use %(listinfo)s because we override the list info page with a custom web application. - Julian -- -- Julian C. Dunn, B.A.Sc, P.Eng.

If John Dennis doesn't show up shortly with an answer, I recommend you write to Red Hat support and ask about large file support in Python. Sorry, I was lurking because I don't have any definitive information at my finger tips. The answer has two components, the max file size of the file system and the max file size python can handle. I'm assuming the installation is on an ext3 partition. The max files size on ext3 depends on the block size, it ranges from 16GB to 4TB on a 32bit CPU. However python and other software has to be able to manage file pointer offsets, which without any direct knowledge I suspect are 32 bit representations on a 32 bit CPU. I suspect that probably limits practical file sizes using python to 4GB. But like I said, I don't know this as a fact, just guessing. Bottom line, I don't think you're likely to have a problem any time soon just based on file sizes. The time to process an archive of that size, the likelyhood of corrupted individual emails in an mbox of that size, and the utility of that much data are other issues. -- 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

Re: [Mailman-Users] Virtual domains
Forrest Aldrich wrote:
From what I gather, my scenario will require
add_virtualhost('www.ourdomain.com', 'newdomain.com')
Do not do this. As I have tried to point out in two previous posts in
this thread including the one you quote below. This will not work. If
you add the above in mm_cfg.py, it will REPLACE the
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
entry, which is effectively
add_virtualhost('www.ourdomain.com', 'ourdomain.com')
with the entry
add_virtualhost('www.ourdomain.com', 'newdomain.com')
because the keys ('www.ourdomain.com') are the same. What you want to
do is just leave
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
as the only entry and create the user-discuss list and after it is
created, go to its General options admin page and change Host name
this list prefers for email. (host_name) from ourdomain.com to
newdomain.com.
If you do put
add_virtualhost('www.ourdomain.com', 'newdomain.com')
in mm_cfg.py, all subsequently created lists will be created with a
host_name of newdomain.com.
Since our server name will not change... it will be:
http://www.ourdomain.com/lists/user-discuss
but the MAIL side of it will need to be [EMAIL PROTECTED],
bidirectionally.

In the first case use

This will not work. add_virtualhost() is defined in Defaults.py and
what it does is add a key:value pair to the VIRTUAL_HOSTS dictionary
where its first argument is the key and the second is the value.
[...]
add_virtualhost('www.ourdomain.com', 'newdomain.com')
will simply change the value associated with the 'www.ourdomain.com'
key in the VIRTUAL_HOSTS dictionary from 'ourdomain.com' to
'newdomain.com'. It will not make a second entry - Python dictionaries
do not support multiple entries with the same key.
In the first case, what you do is just keep the default
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
only and change the host_name attribute of the users-discuss list to
newdomain.com as I suggested in my previous post in this thread
(http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-August/046174.html).

[Mailman-Users] migrating from sourceforge list archive to mailman
I wanted to migrate a list stored on sourceforge.net to mailman kept on my site. It's about 300 messages. It seems that there is no easy way of doing that, and I'll have to open each mail stored on sourceforge.net, copy it's contents, sender, and date, and send it to a new mailman installation (with the appropriate From:, date, and subject/body) - all 300 mails manually. Did anyone already migrate from a list stored on sourceforge.net, and if so, could somebody give me some hints on how to do it best? -- Tomek http://wpkg.org -- 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] Trouble with Lost Messages
I may have not expressed this well. All our lists work perfectly except one. The list that is having problems is configured to be fully moderated and has, until recently, worked without a problem. Recently, we've found that when we approve a number of messages from the Moderated list, only the first will go out. The rest will simply disappear -- no archive and nothing in the digest. I'm just about at wits end trying to figure this one out. Does anyone have any suggestions where to look or how to go about figuring out what's REALLY happening to the lost messages? Thanks, in advance, for your responses. --- /\---/\ Eric J Fox / o o \ http://fox.phoenix.az.us/ \.\ /./ --- \@/Of course it runs NetBSD. .

It's a fully moderated list, and when the Admin approves several messages from the moderated queue, they get sent out fine to the immediate-deliver users, but only the first one will show up in the archives or go out in the digest. All the other lists appear to be working without problems, just the one list looses messages. I've been pounding my head against the table on this one for a while.
