[Mailman-Users] Confirmation problems
Hello all I made a new list and it seems to work OK, except that all the confirmation strings are invalid. Even if I answer at once, it says it's bad confirmation string and only suggests it has been expired. I have also checked that the time is all right on both ends. Any hints? I also added another virtual host to mailman, and this list uses it, could this cause this somehow?

[Mailman-Users] Mailman stagger script?
I was told by my hosting company that I need to pick a mailing list manager for my 14,000+ subscriber e-mail list that would stagger the sending of the email to something like 300 e-mails per hour to lower the impact on the server. I already have Mailman installed, and the entire list currently sits there. Is there any way to do this with Mailman? I hope someone can help!

Have you overridden PENDING_REQUEST_LIFE in mm_cfg.py? How are you confirming? Web or email? Does it fail both ways? What do the actual confirm strings look like? I also added another virtual host to mailman, and this list uses it, could this cause this somehow? Is it only this list that fails?

If you expect more than four messages per week to be sent to the list, then you can't do this with any mailing list manager.

I already have Mailman installed, and the entire list currently sits there. Is there any way to do this with Mailman? The short answer is no. You can set SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 300 in mm_cfg.py (default is 500) and modify the code in SMTPDirect.py to put in a timer and not send more that one chunk an hour, but I would definitely not recommend that as it would have all kinds of unintended consequences. Have you considered that at 300 per hour, it takes 2 days to deliver 14,000+ messages. If there are posts more often than 1 every 2 to 3 days, you'll get hopelessly backlogged. Where is this list hosted? Is it on your server or at the hosting company. If it's your box and you have your own outgoing MTA, this shouldn't be an issue for the hosting company other than the bandwidth on your connection if they provide that. If the list (Mailman) is hosted at the hosting company, isn't this their problem? Of course perhaps they are solving that by telling you you can't do that, in which case, it may be time to find a new host. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] Questions Regarding Command Line Commands
Please excuse this (potential) double post. My ISP is blocked from posting to this list, so I am trying again from a yahoo account. Sometimes I can get through from my ISP, other times not. So I am trying again! :( I have a mysql database with names and email addresses for our little league. I wrote a python scrip to pull the names and email addresses from our database and put them into groups for each team in each division. I want to bulk load these email addresses into mailman and create mailing lists for each team in each division. I know I can do this from the web interface, but I would rather do it from my python script (we have over 90 teams!). I have seen the documentation on what the command line commands are, but I am not sure how to issue those commands from a python script.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman, Postfix and MySQL-based virtual domains
Hi, first of all I have to say that I am a complete novice to both Mailman and Postfix. However my MySQL-based Postfix setup works just fine (on Gentoo) but I have a problem with getting Mailman to work. Beside virtual domains and users that work just fine, I created some mailing lists. But when I try to send a mail to one of them I get the following error message in my log file: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[62.8.A.B]: 550 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table; from=[EMAIL PROTECTED] to=[EMAIL PROTECTED] proto=ESMTP helo=mysystem.network.localnet Jan 25 22:52:54 myserver postfix/smtpd[6906]: unknown[62.8.A.B]: 550 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table My Postfix config file is as follows (digest): owner_request_special = no recipient_delimiter = + virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf, hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman virtual_gid_maps = static:211 virtual_mailbox_base = /home/virtmail virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_domains_maps.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_mailbox_maps.cf virtual_transport = virtual virtual_uid_maps = static:211 So according to http://www.list.org/mailman-install/postfix-virtual.html and what I have found on the web, Postfix should consult both /etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf and /usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman in order to handle the mail (the *.db file does exist in /usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman.db). However as one can see above, Postfix is unable to find the user in the virtual mailbox table.

[Mailman-Users] denying mbox AND txt archives
Hi, Is there a way to privatize archive txt files? I know that PUBLIC_MBOX prevents the mbox URL from appearing in thread.html, date.html, etc., and I can also block *.mbox at the server.

[Mailman-Users] i18n Question
I have created a patch for MM 2.1.7 that will allow MM to have your main site's headers/footers so that everything across the site has a consistant look. This is an extension of #1160353 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=1160353group_id=103atid=300103 You can see the patch in use at http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo I will be posting to sourceforge soon, but I'd like to know what it would take to make sure that it works for the languages that come preinstalled with MM. I've modified a lot of the hard coded text in the py files and most of the html files in the templates/en directory. What files, besides the html files in the templates/lang/ directories will I need to modify? Just the .po file and follow the instructions in the README-I18.en file in the source root? Would this question be more appropriate on the 18n or developers list?

Re: [Mailman-Users] denying mbox AND txt archives
OK, I solved my own problem with
this bit of Apache config:
RedirectMatch permanent /mailman/private/.*/.*\.txt /mailman/
RedirectMatch permanent /mailman/private/.*/.*\.mbox /mailman/
RedirectMatch permanent /archives/.*/.*\.txt /archives/
RedirectMatch permanent /archives/.*/.*\.mbox /archives/
this change to HyperArch.py:
*** Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py Wed Jan 25 18:04:16 2006
--- Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py.orig Wed Jan 25 18:04:13 2006

*** 817,824
else:
# there's no archive file at all... hmmm.
textlink = ''

- textlink = ''
return quick_maketext(
'archtocentry.html',
{'archive': arch,
--- 817,822
and minor changes to template/*/archliststart.html to remove language
specific references to Downloadable version.
I honestly think that Mailman should support properly chmod'ing
private/*/*.mbox and private/*/*.txt files when the site sets
PUBLIC_MBOX to No.
BTW, this was for MM 2.1.7

I'm guessing that you created the lists on the new installation before you finally got the old lists/ directories in the right place. Thus, you now have new config.pck and config.pck.last files with no members and old config.db and config.db.last files with members that aren't being used because of the presence of the config.pck. If this is the case, just delete the config.pck and config.pck.last. You can then run bin/update [-f], but you shouldn't have to as Mailman will update/convert the config.db when the list is accessed.

[Mailman-Users] Extracting membership list
I moved a few lists as part of a larger site-move and the lists aren't being recognized as valid recipients when list members email the lists (ie: an email to either list, ie: all@domain, get's returned with either a 503 or 550 error.) Yet the lists can be administered, show a membership list, etc, so otherwise, they look normal. I have 2 lists, one simple and one not so simple. After a lot of emails to cPanel (how I transferred sites), they've yet to be able to fix, so I deleted the smaller/simple list and recreated it just as I had it before, and now the all@domain functionality works as expected. I'd like to do this with the 2nd list but the membership list spans many, many pages. (so a copy/paste via browser to notepad isn't efficient) I have root on this box, and the config.pck file is available to me here: /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/lists/listname/* But the config.pck file isn't useful to me in a text editor when all I want are the email addresses of existing members. How does one extract the member data from a list like this if I'm the rightful admin?

A total novice. I suspect that you have neither shell access nor the ability to set up cron jobs on the host server, so the information in the above FAQ is not useful to you. The material you quoted pointed to a post from me which may help, but this comes up all the time and there are many posts in the archives of this list on this topic. In particular, see http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2006-January/048484.html for a summary of options that I think apply in your case. Of these options, scripting the web interface may be the best, but it will be slow for 14,000+ members. The email who command may do the job if you don't have hidden members. To use the web script, you have to install Python on your PC http://www.python.org/download/, and then you can just run the script. Another thing you might consider if this is just a one time shot is asking the host service to run 'bin/list_members' for you and put the result where you can download it or email it to you. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
