[Mailman-Users] OutgoingRunner hangs and messages not delivered to mail lists

2006-11-03 Thread João Sá Marta
Greetings,

 

I have a problem with all of the mailing lists in our server.

Every day the qfiles/out directory gets hundreds of *.pck files not posted
to the mailing lists.

Manually, one can stop the master qrunner through mailmanctl stop and start
it again using mailmanctl start . But every time I ‘ve done that there’s a
lock and I  manually removed the locks and issued the mailmanctl start .
That worked .

But , analysing the processes on the system I have noticed that are several
OutgoingRunner ‘s , and the only way to get the messages posted to the
mailing lists is killing those processes.

 

 

All the archives works well –that is: the messages are archived but not
posted – I know that the archiving process is separated from posting.

It’s quite unusual because it’s the first time (3 weeks ago) this is
happening after several years of using mailman.

I am managing about a hundred of mailing lists with thousands of users.

I am using:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4

Python 2.3.4

mailman 2.1.9

sendmail-8.13.1-2

 

I’ve searched through the mailman FAQ’s and I’ve not found any clue.

 

I made a shell script in order to minimize the problem when I am on weekends
and have inserted on the cron (running every 10 minutes):

#!/bin/sh

/home/mailman/bin/mailmanctl stop

ps auxwf|grep python

ps ax |grep python|grep -v grep|gawk -F'{print $1;system(kill -9
$1)}'

/home/mailman/bin/mailmanctl  -s start

 

 

I would appreciate any help on this issue,

 

   Joao Sa Marta

That's because you are force starting Mailman when it hasn't fully
stopped. Lock files have a reason.

See FAQ
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq04.068.htp.

It appears there may be some queued message in the out/ queue causing a
problem. There may also be a problem between Mailman and Sendmail.
What is in Mailman's 'smtp' and 'smtp-failure' logs and also
Sendmail's logs?

Is this a Debian Mailman and Python package? If so, see a couple of
threads in the mailman-users archive. One thread begins at
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2006-October/053942.html
(the link above) and is a single thread in the archive. The other
thread is broken in the archive because of many off-list replies, but
in subject sequence, it is those messages with subjects

[Mailman-Users] can't get mailman and exim4 talking on my debian 3.1
[Mailman-Users] slow processing
[Mailman-Users] Still can't send out from Mailman

If there is no problem evident in the smtp or smtp-failure logs, look
for an older message in the out/ queue and try moving it aside.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Duplicate attachements saved in archive directory?

 List's attachments seemed saved twice with different names in archives

 Whether or not this happens depends on the setting of scrub_nondigest
 and whether or not the list is digestable. If scrub_nondigest is Yes,
 the original message is scrubbed and attachments are saved and
 replaced by URLs in the original message. Then when the message is
 archived and the digest (if any) is produced, there are no
 attachments, only links.
 
 If scrub_nondigest is No, the original message is sent with
 attachments. The message is scrubbed for the archive and attachments
 are saved and replaced by URLs. If the list is digestable, the message
 is also put in the list's digest.mbox with attachments and when the
 plain digest is produced, it is scrubbed again and duplicate copies of
 the attachments are saved with different names and replaced by URLs.
 Thus each saved attachment has two copies, one of which is referenced
 by the archived message and the other of which is referenced by the
 message in the plain digest.

Ah thanks for the clear explanation. I'd never thought this had to do
with list digest policy. Our system wide scrub_nodigest is False,
default value from installation, and my test list is digestable, like
most lists on our systems, hence the two copies of same attachment. If I
make mylist nodigestable, then only one copy of attachement is saved.

 What's in Apache's logs for these GETs?

 Do you have any public archives? If so, do public archive URLs work?

 You could do some tests. Try manually entering URLs in your browser like

 http://example.com/bad/path/to/thread.html

 http://example.com/mailman/noscript/nolist/thread.html

 http://example.com/mailman/admin/thelist/thread.html

 Is there a way to manually get the debug info from smtplib

Temporary SOLUTION.

After placing a bug report in debian, i have been given two files to
make debug information work.

replacements for /usr/lib/python2.3/smtplib.py
and /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Logging/Utils.py that will enable
smtplib-debugging to work (you still have to patch SMTPDirect.py) 

I went in and renamed smtplib.py to smtplib.py.1
put the new file in and deleted smtplib.pyc ad smtplib.pyo
Then renamed /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Logging/Utils.py to Utils.py.1
(make sure its this one...there is at least 5 files called Utils.py)
put the new file in and deleted Utils.pyc and Utils.pyo

then
/etc/init.d/mailman restart
tail -f /var/log/mailman/error

while i was watching this i sent an emial to my testing group, etc.

Long story short. I replaced these files, removed pyc and pyo and
suddenly everything works like magic again. No more timeouts.
I'll try to get originals back in place and see how that works. I'll
keep you posted.

You can get the files from
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=395493

 And, why they stop is what we're trying to figure out, and I can't tell
 you any more than I already have without additional information.

I have looked at the bug report and the two files. I now see I was
mistaken in that I was all along looking at the Python 2.4 smtplib.py.
It turns out that Python 2.3 smtplib.py does write debug output to
stdout, not stderr which explains why you weren't seeing it.

The change to Logging/Utils.py only affects logging of stderr, thus I
wouldn't expect this to affect the original issue.

It would be interesting to see the differences between the original
smtplib.py (now named smtplib.py.1) and the replacement. Do they only
add import sys and replace print with print  sys.stderr,, or
are there other changes. If there are no other changes, I am guessing
that the real problem is some kind of corruption in the .pyc or .pyo
files that you deleted.

[Mailman-Users] New Mailman Installation - Can't Send Email to a New List

2006-11-03 Thread mcjathan
Greetings,

We've recently installed Mailman 2.1.9 on our server. We have installed 
and configured Mailman in a postfix environment that is using mysql (See 
our server configuration at the bottom of this email).  We can create a 
new list, log onto the admin and user web interface.  However, we are 
unable to send email to a newly created list.  When we try to send an 
email, the send process hangs with the following message:

Alert

An error occurred while sending mail.  The mail server responded:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: Recipient address rejected: User unknown
in the local recipient table.  Please verify that your email address
is correct in your Mail preference and try again.

We've followed the instructions in the pages below and still been unable 
to fix the problem:

http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq01.007.htp
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq03.014.htp

We've noticed that the .../data/virtual-mailman.db does not populate.  
Running genaliases populates the .../data/aliases and 
./data/aliases.db.  Adding a new list updates the aliases.db, but in 
either case, the virtual-mailman and virtual-mailman.db files have no data.

Questions:

1) Is our inability to send email to the lists due to the fact that the 
virtual db files aren't being populated?
2) If so, how do we fix this for our already created lists?
3) If so, how do we fix things so that lists we create from now on don't 
have this problem?

Regards,  Jeff

[Mailman-Users] debian/exim4/mailman

2006-11-03 Thread Eric Walker
hello all,
I am trying to setup a mailing list with mailman. Let me give you the 
background.
1) I have a website that I want to maintain a list for but my host provider 
charges me if I run a list through that hosts. So I figured  I could run a list 
from my own personal machine and use remote smtp to just mail to the list. ( 
its going to be an announcement list only). Well, I am running debian and home 
and I was able to finally get exim4 talking with gmail and use googles smtp 
servers. When I do a send from the command line I see the messages go out and 
they are received. The message has the headers and looks as if its comes from 
my websites domain. Now, I am trying to install mailman. I created a test list 
and here are a couple of things I can't do and need help.
1) When I create  a list I get a message saying a new list is created and here 
is the password to admin it etc. I follow the links in the page and it takes me 
back to my home machine and I see the mailman pages. I can admin and add users. 
I cannot send an email to the list though...
I have other things I need a different outlook on but lets get me mailing to 
the list first.

Thanks
Eric Walker

Maybe. Have you set up POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS in mm_cfg.py per
http://www.list.org/mailman-install/postfix-virtual.html


2) If so, how do we fix this for our already created lists?


If the problem is that you havent set POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS,
fix it and then run bin/genaliases.


3) If so, how do we fix things so that lists we create from now on don't 
have this problem?


Assuming you have set MTA = 'Postfix' and properly set
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS in mm_cfg.py, list creation should
update data/aliases* and data/virtual-mailman* automatically.

Why not just let Exim connect directly to the recipients' smtp servers?

You have at least two choices:

You can use bin/inject to put a post into Mailman's 'in' queue, or you
can set up Exim/Mailman integration (see
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq01.019.htp),
and set up an MUA (email client) to post to the smtp server on
'localhost' and send posts through it.

If you have both Exim and Mailman running on your own computer, Exim
can deliver incoming mail to mailman and Exim can accept outgoing mail
from Mailman and send it directly to the recipients without involving
an intermediate ISP.

If you don't have a domain name and/or a fixed IP address, it is a bit
tricky to get mail from the internet to your local Exim, but if all
you want to do is post to your own list from your own computer, it is
a simple matter to set up Exim to listen for SMTP connects on
'localhost' port 25, and it is also fairly simple to set up an MUA
(email client) to deliver its outgoing mail to the SMTP server on
'localhost' port 25. You then use this MUA
account/personality/whatever you call it to send a message to
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' and Exim can accept it and deliver it to Mailman
for 'mylist'.

On the outbound side, Mailman delivers the mail to Exim on 'localhost'
port 25, and Exim sends it to the recipients directly via SMTP
connections to the recipient domains. Your web host's SMTP server is
not involved at all. This may or may not work for you because some
remote servers will not accept mail from an SMTP server (MTA) that
doesn't identify itself with a domain name that resolves to it's IP
address, so that can be a 'gotcha' if you don't have a fixed IP
address that has a reverse DNS entry.

Also, please include the list in replies.

Ok,
This is what I am proposing to do with your new information.
1) I found out that godaddy(my hosting account) does allow at least 250 free 
relays per day from my exisitng email accounts. Thats great for the time being. 
Well, If I can get the exim to send mails to it, then I think I have half the 
battle done. so help me with this first. I have been using the telnet smtp 
server 25 test.
everytime it says 553 Sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts.
But, I configure my local (MUA kmail) and all goes fine. what am I missing to 
get a telnet test connection. Also, I think I need to autheticate to this smtp 
server but not sure how on the telnet command line.

Thanks

[Mailman-Users] REvising text of attachment scrubbed message?

2006-11-03 Thread Ken Winter
Is there any way to revise the text that is inserted into a message when an
attachment has been scrubbed?  Right now it reads something like:

 

-- next part --

A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Name: Captions 1.ppt

Type: application/vnd.ms-powerpoint

Size: 3889664 bytes

Desc: not available

Url :
http://lists.dhat.org/mailman/private/proto-announce/attachments/20061103/5
8c6b63a/attachment.ppt
http://lists.dhat.org/mailman/private/proto-announce/attachments/20061103/59
c6b63a/attachment.ppt 

 

The idea of making attachments available as an optional download is great,
but my non-techie users are never going to understand the first two lines of
the preceding message.  If something has been scrubbed, that would imply
to most people (or at least to me) that it has been washed away and is no
longer available.

 

~ TIA

Only by changing the actual message text which is coded in the
Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py module.
