[Mailman-Users] Probe message bounce bounced (with qmail)
I'm getting a failure notice message when a mailing list probe message generates a bounce. It seems that I haven't configured qmail properly. Here there are details of my configuration and the error messages: The failure notice message I receive is: Hi. This is the qmail-send program at myserver.mydomain.foo I tried to deliver a bounce message to this address, but the bounce bounced! [EMAIL PROTECTED]: ... In the Defaults.py file I have: # VERP format and regexp for probe messages VERP_PROBE_FORMAT = '%(bounces)s+%(token)s' VERP_PROBE_REGEXP = r'^(?Pbounces[^+]+?)\+(?Ptoken[EMAIL PROTECTED])@.*$' And I have the files: .qmail-default with: |preline /usr/bin/python /usr/local/mailman/bin/qmail-to-mailman.py .qmail-mylist-bounces-default with: |preline /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces myslist I have mailman-2.1.5 and qmail-1.03 running. So, I see that the bounces are counted properly until the probe message is generated. I suppose that the user that causes the bounce message will not be disabled, because mailman don't receives the probe message bounce. Can anyone help me, please??

I think the setting itself should be right.
Do they receive other mail from the list?
Kind regards,

Can someone who has gotten this working give me a shout and let me know what the gotcha is? Many thanks in advance. This has nothing to do with mailman, it is a postfix configuration issue. Postfix can be configured to reject mail if the receipient is not local. You have this configuration setting in effect. I suspect your problem is that you don't include $alias_maps in the local_recipient_maps parameter in postfix's main.cf. This is very clearly documented in the comments in main.cf and the LOCAL_RECIPIENTS_README file that is part of the postfix distribution and available on www.postfix.org. You need the alias_maps because that is where you've defined mailman's email addresses. -- 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

By default, Python will only access modules in the Python libraries and the directory that contains the current module. Modules in the bin/ directory for example get around this by importing 'paths' which is the bin/paths.py file which sets some additional directories in the search paths. The easiest way to make this work for testing purposes is just to store your test file in the $prefix directory, i.e. the directory that contains the Mailman/, bin/, etc. directories. Presumably this is pseudocode. It's not Python. Python might be for name in listnames: if name in notshowns: continue mlist = MailList.MailList(name, lock=0) if mlist.advertised: snip ... A key thing in Python code is indentation because that's how Python determines block structure. It is critical that things be indented consistently and that either tabs or spaces but not a mixture be used for indentation. The above snippet, properly indented looks like for name in listnames: if name in notshowns: continue mlist = MailList.MailList(name, lock=0) if mlist.advertised: It is critical that if name in notshowns: is indented exactly the same amount as mlist = MailList.MailList(name, lock=0) and that other indentation be preserved exactly as in the original. Tha goal is to avoid clutter and subscription attempts. I think modify the admin.py file as you suggested might be a better option. Maybe require authentication to access the admin page. Presumably you will have the lists' subscribe_policy set to 'Require approval'. I am only guessing, but I think that not showing the lists on the listinfo page would reduce the spurious subscription attempts to a level where manually rejecting them would not be too burdensome. I would guess there would certainly be no more subscription requests than non-member posts. What I'm saying here is that authenticating access to the admin overview page could be tricky (what password(s) would be used?) and may not be worth the trouble. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] embedded hostname in lists confirmation message
To protect our listserver, we disallow smtp to it from outside of our domains and push all mailman addresses (list-request, list-admin...) to our border. People then can address our lists as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Our borders have all the addresses for all the lists and, being within our domain, are able to forward the mail to the listserver. The prefered hostname is a cname that points to the actual host. This causes problem for those trying to subscribe themselves as the confirmation message tells them to reply to this address which has the restricted host address embedded within. Clicking on the webpage however does work. So one hacky way to fix this would be to rework the confirmation message to only include information about the weblink. It seems that changing the Host name this list prefers for email to just the domain name will fix this. But will this conflict with anything else? If not, is there an easy name to script it for all lists using withlists (ie what is the raw withlist command)?

This setting on the General Options page only controls the default for
new members. For existing members, you have to look at the 'not metoo'
setting in the Membership List.
Also, if the member cc's herself in her own post and has 'nodupes' set,
she will not receive the post from the list.

I must be missing something in your description of your configuration, but I don't understand why you are only concerned about the email domain in the subscription confirmation message. Don't you have the same problem with, for example, the list posting address on the listinfo page, the addresses in the RFC 2369 headers, etc.? In any case, there may be an issue in Mailman 2.1.5 and below if you just change a list's host_name and that host name is not an email host in an add_virtualhost() line in mm_cfg.py, because the Mailman.Archiver.Archiver.GetBaseArchiveURL() method inverts the VIRTUAL_HOSTS dictionary and looks up the list's host_name to get the corresponding url host. This is not an issue in 2.1.6 because it is done differently there, and in any case, it only affects public archives and only if there is more than one url host (i.e. if there actually are virtual hosts. Is there some reason why you don't want to change DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST in mm_cfg.py? If you were to do this, you could then run fix_url.py (via withlist) to change all the host_name attributes. If you really want to just change the host_name for all lists via withlist and make no other changes, you can make a file, say changehost.py in the bin/ directory containing (Warning!! untested use at your own risk) def changehost(mlist, hostname): if not mlist.Locked(): mlist.Lock() mlist.host_name = hostname mlist.Save() mlist.Unlock() and then run bin/withlist -a -r changehost new_host_name -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Then I don't know why your post had no content other than a -- line, but it did have a X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.6 indicating that there was a non text/plain part removed. Both the original message and the message to which I'm replying indicate User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.9i and the latter message is a single text/plain part, so I can't explain what happened with the original. Here's what I had posted: I have Mailman version 2.1.5 on my debian 3.1 system. I can mail OUT to list members, but if they attempt to reply back to the list, or to the administrator, they (I included myself here) get an error message telling that the address is untraceable or unroutable, i.e., that th name of the list, for example [EMAIL PROTECTED] is unroutable. If I manually run 'adduser test59' to create a 'user' on my system with that name, then that error is eliminated, but I still do not get any incoming list email upon replies to list mailing. There is some issue with the configuration of the incoming MTA. If you are saying you can post to the list by mailing to [EMAIL PROTECTED], then presumably you have something (aliases) in the MTA that can pipe this address to Mailman, but it seems that perhaps whatever it is only works for mail originating from the localhost and not from outside. If you create the test59 user, then presumably the mail is delivered to that users mailbox, but that doesn't get it to Mailman. Does any reference exist that tells the pathway of a message from send to receive and then from Reply on recipient's end back to the mailman machine serving this all up? Comments at the front of Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py give a rough idea of the flow of messages through Mailman. In addition to what's there, are the facts that a message to be sent out from Mailman is delivered via SMTP to the outgoing MTA and then by the MTA to the recipients. A reply back to the list is received by the incoming MTA and piped to the mail wrapper with the appropriate action and listname arguments. It is this last bit that apparently isn't working in your case, at least for mail originating outside localhost. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
