Any thoughts on what to do to correct this problem? 1) Contact SWSoft, the providers of Plesk 2) Provide a more descriptive error message, otherwise no one can possibly debug this for you. My best guess is that something in your apache config file (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf) changed that either has disabled the reading the /etc/httpd/conf.d/mailman.conf file which contains the ScriptAlias and Directory configuration for mailman, which in turn tells apache about the existence of the mailman cgi URL/commands and tells apache it has permission to execute this outside the document root. I believe there is also a global flag in that may be present in httpd.conf that enables or defeats cgi execution outside the document root. But really, this is not a mailman issue, its either an issue with Plesk or your apache configuration (I know very little about how Plesk works but I suspect it has a very strong interaction with apache configuration which is why since Plesk is in the picture you need to consider Plesk interaction). -- 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

Any thoughts on what to do to correct this problem? One more suggestion: If up2date installed something that broke your configuration then you might want to go looking for any files under /etc with a .rpmnew or a .rpmsave extension. When rpm installs a new config file for a package and it detects an existing config file that has been modified locally it will respect the local edit of the config file and install the new version of the file with a .rpmnew extension preserving the local edit. If rpm thinks it needs to overwrite a file it will copy the file with a .rpmsave extension. Looking for these files and comparing them may provide a clue as to what changed and induced the new behavior. The existence of either a .rpmnew or a .rpmsave could represent delta in system configuration that needs closer examination.

According to RFC 2822's grammar, that's not an un-quoted name part that includes a dot, that's a syntax error. The user who's sending that stuff should be advised to get a compliant MUA or fix their configuration. Note the quotes in my From:. That is NOT because of mailman; I've had several other programs do yucky things to my mail because of the unquoted dot. If you want your mail delivered reliably, it's worth conforming to this one.

[Mailman-Users] email commands for list owners or administrators (subsribe, unsubscribe)
I have read the archives and searched the documentation for information about this, but I wanted to see what others are doing about this. One of the list owners is blind. She is not that saavy with her screen reader, so using the Mailman web interface is not a good option for her. So, I am pretty much acting as the list owner. However, I would like to try to give her some control over the subscribing and unsubscribing of addresses. I understand that sending email commands for administrative purposes does is not that easy. As a list owner, I can send a subscribe command to the request address, along with a new password, using the syntax: subscribe password [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, if I want to have the subscription require approval, the list owner still would have to go to the web admin page to approve it, which is not desirable in this case. Maybe there is an email command that I am unaware of that a list owner can send to pre-approve the subscription. Also, the subscriber gets a message indicating that the message has been sent to the list owner for approval. Maybe I can turn this part off. Another idea I had was to initially subscribe the user list all using the same password, to make unsubsribing them easier for the list owner. When she adds new subscribers via email, she could utilize that same password. It would be nice if an Administrator could have superuser capabilities when adding users via email, utilizing the master system password. If I have missed something that has already been posted, I apologize. I am just fishing for ideas. -- -- Christopher Adams Library Systems Analyst Oregon State Library 503-378-4243 258 [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] other thoughts about email commands
I sent an earlier message about list owner commands for subscribing, unsubsribing, etc. I do see now where I can prevent a approval message being sent to the subscriber. However, it looks like I will probably just make myself the owner and have the list owner send the subscribe and unsubscribe commands to the request address. I will initially set the password for everyone to be the same and the list owner will use that password for future subscriptions and unsubscriptions. I will end up doing the approving of all these requests. However, I have another question about issuing email commands for subscribing. In the web interface, I can add information along with the email address, by using the syntax Joe Blow[EMAIL PROTECTED]. If I issue this by email, Mailman chokes on it. Here is an example. subscribe password address=Joe Blow[EMAIL PROTECTED]. Mailman seems confused by brackets and quotes.
