[Mailman-Users] qfiles?
Hi all, We're having some problems with our mailman-based mailinglists, everything worked fine until some time ago, when a problem started where mails sent to the lists sometimes get lost. We have no idea yet whether this is due to smtp setup problems or something or mailman itself. I'm looking into this problem but my knowledge of mailman is limited so I have questions, one is: what is the qfiles folder for? Is it normal for this folder to contain about 1 .msg and 1 .db files? Based on the name I would assume this is the queue of unsent messages, and I would expect it to only contain messages that still have to be sent, the fact that there are files still in there might explain or missing mails option, though it's not like 1 messages got lost ... but still, what is qfiles for then and does it really need to be so big?? -- 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] Formatting
Hi guys Does anyone know how mailman formats the emails? I'm getting the text files down from the server and inserting it into our local database, but having trouble formatting the text.

Re: [Mailman-Users] running Mailman on mail server, not web server

www.abc.com:8112.
You have to put
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s:8112/mailman/'
in mm_cfg.py and then run fix_url to update the existing lists. fix_url
is a withlist script. Run bin/fix_url.py stand alone for instructions.

Mark,
I'm having another problem with the above. I had to rebuild my mailserver
and now I cannot remember how to completely set this up.
I added the DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN to the mm_cfg.py. And ran the fix_url
script. The problem I'm having now is some of the url are point to the
wrong url.
Here is what I have in my mm_cfg.py script.
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'nebraskaultimate.com'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.nebraskaultimate.com:8122'
add_virtualhost('www.nebraskaultimate.com:8122', 'nebraskaultimate.com')
add_virtualhost('www.atomicxterra.com:8122', 'atomicxterra.com')
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s:8122/mailman/'
ALLOW_SITE_ADMIN_COOKIES = 1
The problem is when I go to my atomicxterra list it has links to those
lists but it is using the nebraskaultimate.com URL. I guess I can't
remember if I need to have the DEFAULT vars set.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Troy

[Mailman-Users] message shunted
Hello,
I've got 2.1.6 installation that has been working perfectly for
several months, but today a message was shunted, and I had to unshunt
it manually.
What can be the reason of the following errors? The last line
(trailing garbage) appears when I run bin/unshunt.

You've clearly got a serious problem with your MTA, and with this many files in your qfiles subdirectory, that means you now have a problem just listing the directory contents or accessing any one particular directory entry. You need to flush the queue, and get these messages delivered. Or, you need to move them aside, and just live with the fact that you had problems in the past, and that there was nothing you could do about them. But one way or the other, if you want to return to any kind of normal operations, you've got to get these queues cleared. Moreover, once they are clear, you should stop Mailman, move the directories aside and create new ones by the same names (with the same ownership and permissions), and restart Mailman. The reasons are somewhat complex, having to do with the nature of the way that filesystems are implemented on computers.

In theory, there are unsupported third-party patches to allow Mailman to use various back-end database member adapters, but that is beyond the scope of this mailing list or this message.

There's absolutely no way you can guarantee this. Sure, you can set headers that tell clients to do whatever you want, but that doesn't mean that the client will actually do what you ask. It is possible to modify the Reply-to: header, but this is almost always a really bad idea. See the Mailman FAQ Wizard for more. * A web page where members can read current messages and archives. Mailman does include a web archive function, but does not provide a web message board feature. You can read messages on the web, but that's it. There are unsupported third-party patches to integrate Mailman into web message boards, but you will need to contact their respective authors for more information. * The ability to customise which messages members can opt to receive to include the following options: * No Messages I will read all messages on the web. * Level 1 Delivery 'Special Messages' only i.e. messages from the List Manager(s) * Level 2 Delivery 'Special Messages' plus new questions from othermembers. * Level 3 Delivery All messages. No. Mailman does provide a topic function, and all messages posted to the list which match the topic would be sent to the person who subscribed to that topic. Mailman also provides the ability to remain subscribed to the list but not receive any messages, as might be typical if you were to go on vacation for a while. I should be most grateful if someone could let me know which of these features Mailman provides as it stands and which it might be possible to provide by suitable mods.

[Mailman-Users] Illegal list name: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello, Seems like this topic comes often in the newgroup, but since I could not find an answer to my particular problem, I figure out I could -also- send a request about this problem. So I am trying to install mailman, I read and followed instructions from: http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install.pdf since I have a running postfix installation (gentoo box), I just modify the few main.cf options needed, basically: owner_request_special = no and alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases, hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases I did generate the aliases using genalias (under root), and then chmod to mailman: $ ls -al /usr/local/mailman/data -rw-rw 1 mailman mailman 357 Oct 3 16:22 aliases -rw-r- 1 mailman mailman 49152 Oct 3 16:22 aliases.db And finally here is the /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py I am using. It is attached to this email. Does anyone knows what is going on ? Is there a way to make mailman more verbose on why this mailing list is 'illegal'.

I believe you will need to perform a URL rewrite which special cases the component mailman when following the lists component. This type of functionality is available in the mod_rewrite module. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html Practical examples here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html Be aware that mod_rewrite is not an easy module to master, at a minimum you will need a solid understanding of regular expressions. I think what you need to do is craft a rule which first attempts to match /lists/mailman and if that matches terminate the rule processing outputting the matched URL, else continue to process and rewrite the URL to the per list URL.

[Mailman-Users] Command-Line Interface
Hello Everyone, I'm new to the list, but I've been using mailman for several years. We recently moved our mailman server to a new machine and decided not to install apache, but instead went with lighttpd. Needless to say, I'm having a difficult time getting the mailman web interface to work with it, but the lists are running. My question is, since I can not currently access the web interface, is there a way to approve/reject mail being held through the command line? Thanks for any help.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Emails are being moderated...
Johnny Schlaack wrote: We've set up a list that primary works as an announcement list instead of a discussion list. Almost everyone on the list is setup to be moderated. Only a handful are not setup to be moderated. This is not a very secure way to run an announcement list because the list members can easily figure out who is able to post and can spoof those addresses to post themselves. It is better to moderate everyone and post via an Approved: header/body line. Go to the FAQ wizard at http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py and search for announcement. But for some reason emails will not go to the list unless approved by the list owner of a certain unmoderated individual. Now the only thing I can think of that might be causing a problem is that the email this individual sends out every Friday is a html newsletter. The newsletter is like a webpage with tables and text. (The enewsletter is not an attachment but sent in the body of the email.) Would this cause her emails to be moderated to be approved by the list owner? Mailman tells you why the message is held for approval. What does Mailman say the reason is? Is there a way that her emails can go through without approval? If you use the Approved: method to post, this won't be a problem. Otherwise, you first have to determine why the message is being held. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Mark,
I'm having another problem with the above. I had to rebuild my mailserver
and now I cannot remember how to completely set this up.
I added the DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN to the mm_cfg.py. And ran the fix_url
script. The problem I'm having now is some of the url are point to the
wrong url.
Here is what I have in my mm_cfg.py script.
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'nebraskaultimate.com'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.nebraskaultimate.com:8122'
add_virtualhost('www.nebraskaultimate.com:8122', 'nebraskaultimate.com')
add_virtualhost('www.atomicxterra.com:8122', 'atomicxterra.com')
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s:8122/mailman/'
ALLOW_SITE_ADMIN_COOKIES = 1
The problem is when I go to my atomicxterra list it has links to those
lists but it is using the nebraskaultimate.com URL. I guess I can't
remember if I need to have the DEFAULT vars set.
You've got the :8122 in too many places for one thing. If it's in
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN as you have it, then you don't want it elsewhere.
I suggest the following for the relevant part of mm_cfg.py:
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'nebraskaultimate.com'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.nebraskaultimate.com'
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
add_virtualhost('www.nebraskaultimate.com', 'nebraskaultimate.com')
add_virtualhost('www.atomicxterra.com', 'atomicxterra.com')
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s:8122/mailman/'
The VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear() entry removes what was put there by the
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) that's in
Defaults.py. This isn't strictly necessary but it insures you have no
spurious entries in your VIRTUAL_HOSTS dictionary.
After fixing this and restarting Mailman, you'll need to run fix_url on
the existing lists. I think that will do it.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Bounce messages coming in after restart
Aaron wrote: I'm running Mailman 2.1.5 on FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE-p10 with Postfix. I actually have the same setup on two different servers and have been having the same problem on both. Every time Mailman gets restarted (pretty much only happens when we reboot), tons of bounce notifications get sent out to list admins. It's like Mailman was holding them and old released them upon restart. It could be lots of things and it's difficult to even begin without more info. Check Mailman's logs. One guess is for some reason the BounceRunner dies and then starts after a restart and processes all the backlogged bounces. The 'qrunner' log might show this. Also check the 'error' log Also check the queues in qfiles. Particularly qfiles/bounces. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
