[Mailman-Users] Uncaught runner exception: regular_exclude_lists

2009-09-24 Thread Adam Nielsen
Hi all,

I've followed the FAQ to move some lists across to a new server, but now
on the new machine any message posted to a list gets passed to Mailman
and then disappears.  The Mailman error log says this:

Sep 24 10:34:18 2009 (5311) Uncaught runner exception: regular_exclude_lists
Sep 24 10:34:18 2009 (5311) Traceback (most recent call last):

1253752458.0181279+c9484331c59781f0d3cf0af775ece9b9c88a6b43

I can't find any reference to this exception, so I'm a bit stuck where
to look next.  Any ideas?

The new server is running a fresh install of Mailman (it didn't have any
lists before I moved these ones across) and the move went from Slackware
to Gentoo so many of the paths have changed, just in case these are
saved in the list data.  (I have run the fixurl script as per the FAQ,
and the lists do appear in the Mailman web UI.)

Many thanks,
Adam.

[Mailman-Users] not receiving pending moderator's emails

2009-09-24 Thread John Adamski
We recently migrated to a new server and newer version of mailman and all our 
moderated lists have stop receiving the notice of pending posts.

We are now on 2.1.11 version of mailman and came from 2.1.4.

Should the list moderators get immediate notice of new requests, as well as 
daily notices about collected ones? Is set to yes.

If I run checkdb manually nothing happens.

The sender get a notice that the emails is on hold pending the moderator 
approval.  The moderate can send email or approve pending ones and they go.  
Just the notice to the moderator not getting to them.

We are on suse Linux 2.6.27.29-0.1-pae

Anyone got an idea why or what to do?

John

[Mailman-Users] Mailman silently discard messages

2009-09-24 Thread Chris Miller

I have a mailing list that suddenly died, theoretically without any
changes being made. I've seen some posts about this behavior, but can't
figure out what's happening. I modified Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py
as described here :


http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg48582.html

In my log I now see :

Sep 21 16:50:13 2009 (10277) Message discarded by Approve, msgid:
4ab81105.1090...@invalid.com

I've scoured the settings and don't see anything obvious. I also enabled
forward_auto_discards, but nothing is sent to the moderator address.
Unfortunately Python is not my strong point, so I don't know where to go
from here.
http://lists.nextspace.us/mailman/admin/nextspace-chatter/?VARHELP=privacy/sender/forward_auto_discards

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

[Mailman-Users] Digest Headers

2009-09-24 Thread Bob Fishel
So I recently had a member of our list ask that the headers about
sending and receiving messages be put at the end of the email, and I
happen to think it's a good idea as that is a standard format that
people are used to seeing. However my header field is blank, though I
do have a custom footer. My question is how can I move this text to
the bottom of the email? In case it is unclear I've included the
portion in question below.

Thanks

[Mailman-Users] problem with unwanted moderation

2009-09-24 Thread Daniel Billotte

Hello,
I have a list setup with all default configuration except that I have 
the generic nonmember action setting set to Accept. The mailing list 
address is:
dl_supp...@foo.com. I have an email setup, supp...@foo.com, that is 
forwarded to dl_supp...@foo.com. If I send a message to 
dl_supp...@foo.com it goes out to all the members, but if I send an 
email to supp...@foo.com, it ends up in the moderator queue. Is this 
supposed to work this way? If so, is there a way to change it?


thanks,
Daniel

[Mailman-Users] Question about Troubleshooting Mailing List Issues

2009-09-24 Thread Emmett Rahl
One of the administrators of our Mailing List (and I also tried it myself) 
tried to send out a message on one of our lists.  The policy on this particular 
list is that any mailing list member can send out a message as long as it is 
under 100K in size.

After a couple of hours, the message bounced back to him and it said something 
like Try again later.  I also tried to send a message (I am also an 
administrator (but am not in charge of the list) and member.) and I haven't 
gotten any response yet myself.

The server that our website and the Mailman program reside on is the same, and 
I am able to log in and make changes to the information on our website, but I 
am not able to send any messages, nor do I know of a way to see if there is 
something wrong with Mailman (it doesn't seem to be the server...).  I also 
checked the documentation at list.org, but there isn't anything to this effect.

I am also wondering... in the future, if there is a way to manually send 
e-mails out to the list (i.e. from within the Mail List Administrative area)?

Thanks,

Emmett Rahl

[Mailman-Users] Postfix Mailman VERP

2009-09-24 Thread Δημήτριος Καραπιπέ ρης

Hi there

I am using Mailman -2.1.9-4 amd Postfix 2.6.5-1
on a Red Hat EL 5 box.

I am trying to configure VERP in some of my mailing lists but Postfix 
keeps complaining
about the addresses that do not exists in sender or recipient maps 
(virtual).


In fact they do not , but is there a way to convince it that they do 
exist but in VERP style form (+ delimiter)?

[Mailman-Users] more info

2009-09-24 Thread ivan messina

hi, hi was reading the features of mailman.

I still can't understand if is possible to use it in the way I need.

sorry if I bother you, but I really can't figure it out.

I need to set a form, and the subriscriers will receive the mail in  
the order I decide (like a sequential autoresponder), so everyone will  
receive soon the mail N°1, two days after the registration the mail N°  
2 and so on.


but I also need to send sometimes mail like a mailing list (for  
example today i wanna invite them to  frre teleconference)


is this possible with mailman?

list written in python, and several list members have written to me to say
that they're not receiving copies of my email blasts.  Three of those four

[Mailman-Users] Mailman : too fast when small ressources, how to make it slower

2009-09-24 Thread Kevin

Hello,

I use mailman for around 3000 subscribers on a small VDS (virtual server 
under Virtuozzo).
I've configured postfix to fork no more than 10 times to avoid aving to 
many process (no more than 128 ... or my system become instable).
But It seems mailman is too fast to generate mails so that it use a lot 
off kernel memory, too much for my VDS which cause a non sending of many 
emails, memory is not allocate by Virtuozzo to my Vds.

Of course I can't reconfigure Virtuozzo parameters, so here is my point :

it there a way to configure mailman to send emails to a list slower than 
normal ?


I was thinking of sending mails per packets, for example 100 by 100, in 
a predifined period of time, but I haven't found how to configure 
mailman for that ...


I'm quit new in mailman by I haven't found the answer yet, usually 
people want that mailman generates and sends mail faster ... That is not 
my case :(


Thanks for your precious help.

[Mailman-Users] Admin interface not recording changes (not the FAQ)

2009-09-24 Thread Matthew Miller
We have mailman up and running successfully, in as far as it forwards
e-mails to the list and shows the interfaces for /listinfo and /admindb.
However, when I go into the web interface to configure list settings, it
accepts the input but doesn't record the change when I click Submit.  We're
running OS X Server v10.5.8, using mailman v2.1.9.

Before you leap on the redirect default e-mail, I have read the FAQ.  I
_did_ have a redirect going, because our root site URL was redirecting to
the webmail interface for the server. I have corrected that, and restarted
both the webserver and mailman.  I'm now going directly to the site, but the
behavior hasn't changed. (I'm sure of this, because I removed the redirect
first to find out why it was there - the admin interface was failing because
the root of the site was redirected to /webmail and the webadmin just
redirect mailman back, which of course didn't work well.  That has been
resolved so there is no root site redirection any longer, and thus the
mailman redirect isn't needed either and was removed as well.)  I don't
_think_ any of the other situations referred to in the FAQ are involved, but
I'm not a UNIX/Linux guru, so I may well have missed something due to
ignorance.
I suspect this is may be OS X related because everything looks good in the
mm_config.py and other config files (per the instructions on the mailman
wiki), so I posted on my usual Mac/OSX forums as a first step, but haven't
gotten any helpful answers (yet).

Anyone have any ideas?  I'm about ready to pull out all 3 of my remaining
hairs.

Thanks in advance!

[Mailman-Users] Treat post from non-member mail addresses like join request?

2009-09-24 Thread Markus
Hi,

this is roughly what I want to achieve, with a list that allows posts
from members only:

- when a member mails to list@domain, the message should be posted
as usual

- when a non-member mails to list@domain, this should be treated
like a subscription request, i.e. as if he had mailed to
list-join@domain

I could not figure out how this could be achieved, and now I wonder
whether it is so an unreasonable behaviour?

Sure I could reject the non-member mails and in the reply tell them that
another mail address must be used to join, but this would be more effort
and multiple addresses to communicate.

Ideally, the initial submission would be held until the sender address
is confirmed and then posted to the list.

I have even thought of copying all mails to post and join, but then
legitimate posts would get a reply you are already subscribed for
which I found no switch to suppress.

Regards
Markus

[Mailman-Users] digests without 'message #n...

2009-09-24 Thread Rob Lingelbach

one of my mailing lists is sending out digests without the usual
in-line separator of Message 1...  Message 2...  between the  
messages,

after the Table of Contents.

It is set to send MIME-type digests.

for control purposes I have the Mailman default mailing list set to  
the same Digest options, and yet it sends digests out with the  
separator Message #n   etc.


Mailman version is 2.1.12

Thank you in advice for any help.

[Mailman-Users] command line administration.

2009-09-24 Thread Rob Lingelbach
I'm preparing for a time soon when I'll have to administer a large  
active mailman list via a very limited connection (don't ask, but  
thank goodness for PuTTy and internet over cel networks deep in  
Brasil).  I've read the FAQ 3.61 and will examine Skip Montanaro's  
mmfold.py script; in the meantime I'm also re-familiarizing myself  
with all the scripts in {mailman}/bin.Also am testing the mailman  
GUI with command line browsers w3m, lynx, and links.


I'd be interested in hearing of experiences doing this (am running  
2.1.12).


The archives on one list go back to 1994 (SmartList!)  and are  
extensive.   Education of subscribers as to how to keep quoting to a  
minimum (I contributed a module way back when to SmartList that would  
kick back overquoting), top-posting, etc., have mostly been in vain -  
including kicking back the postings and asking for trimming-  so for  
some years now I have moderation enabled, and a few times a day I  
review the posts and trim them myself.   It's radical but it works.   
Helps as well with the search indexing for the list done every night  
(used to use htdig; now using webglimpse; might switch to swish-e).


In order to edit the postings I have this in mm_cfg.py:

# this is to be able to edit held messages to kill advertising
# remember to insert blurb that msg was edited
# messages will now be held as .txt  (less efficient)
HOLD_MESSAGES_AS_PICKLES = No

..and I run a command that aliases to vim path_to_held_messages/ 
*.txt


thanks to the maintainers and creators of Mailman.

[Mailman-Users] Error when list Moderator deals with pending requests

2009-09-24 Thread Mark Ryan
Hi All-

 

We're running Mailman 2.1.12 on a Ubuntu server, version 9.0.4. We've run
into an issue when a list moderator takes care of pending requests.what
happens is when the moderator takes an action for the request and hits the
Submit Data button, it throws the we hit a bug message. I looked through
the error logs and found this entry which I've copied and pasted below. I'm
the owner for all of our lists and I don't encounter this when I take care
of the pending requests, it only happens to the moderators. Can anyone give
me some insight as to what may be going on?

 

Thanks!

Mark

I can't find any reference to this exception, so I'm a bit stuck where
to look next.  Any ideas?


It appears that the new server is running 2.1.10 or later with the
sibling lists feature, and the old server from which the lists were
moved did not have this feature, so the lists did not have the
corresponding regular_exclude_lists and regular_include_lists
attributes.

However, that doesn't explain what is happening, because the first time
the moved list is instantiated on the new server, Mailman should
detect that the list's data_version is less than the installation's
DATA_FILE_VERSION and update the list's attributes. So, the question
is why didn't this happen, or if it did, why weren't the
regular_exclude_lists and regular_include_lists attributes added?

Did the old installation have patches that increased it's
DATA_FILE_VERSION?

http://ronaldknox.org/mailman/listinfo does work so this appears to be

If this is a hosted Mailman, you will have to pursue this with the

If this is your own server, you may be able to look at the
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/cgi-bin/ directory and see if the
'create' wrapper has the same ownership and permissions as the others.
You may also be able to gett additional information from the web

as it is under 100K in size.

After a couple of hours, the message bounced back to him and it said something 
like Try again later.  I also tried to send a message (I am also an 
administrator (but am not in charge of the list) and member.) and I haven't 
gotten any response yet myself.


The Try again later. response didn't come from Mailman. It most
likely came from The MTA because it doesn't know how to deliver list
mail.


The server that our website and the Mailman program reside on is the same, and 
I am able to log in and make changes to the information on our website, but I 
am not able to send any messages, nor do I know of a way to see if there is 
something wrong with Mailman (it doesn't seem to be the server...).  I also 
checked the documentation at list.org, but there isn't anything to this effect.


Who administers this server. Is it your organization or a hosting
service. Whoever it is, they need to make sure that the mail server
can deliver to Mailman.


I am also wondering... in the future, if there is a way to manually send 
e-mails out to the list (i.e. from within the Mail List Administrative area)?


Not from the web interface. There is a Mailman tool, bin/inject, that
can queue a message for Mailman from the command line in a shell.

Those files were apparently updated by something and postfix's

This you can do. Mailman is a mailing list manager so it does resend
posts to a mailing list. It doesn't do automatic mailings (but it will
send mail generated automatically by some other process), and it
doesn't filter recipients based on how long ago they subscribed.

Assuming it is only some list members not receiving posts, and assuming

This is something that has to be pursued with the recipients ISPs.

Moderator actions such as approving or rejecting posts posts are
already logged in Mailman's vette log. Subscription approvals, but not
all subscription actions, are logged in the subscribe log.

Mass (un)subscribes are also logged in the subscribe log.

List admin changes to the list configuration are not logged by Mailman,
nor are admin or moderator log-ins. You could possibly extract some of
this information from the web server logs.

 Mailman doesn't do this.

However, with a bit of $scripting_language and the subscribe log (or,
indeed, making the back-end of your form stash to a database), it
shouldn't be too difficult to work out who's joined the list when, and
then to send a mail to their email address directly. Script + messages
to mail + Cron, bingo.

Natch, that assumes (a) competence to script, (b) access to the logs,
(c) ability to run script, (d) space to store (or fetch) the mail
messages, (e) ability to create cronjobs.

a predifined period of time, but I haven't found how to configure 
mailman for that ...


The only control is SMTP_MAX_RCPTS which sets the maximum number of
recipients in one transaction or the VERP options which will result in
one recipient per transaction, but there is no control over how fast
Mailman generates messages to the MTA unless you build a delay into

of course the MTA itself has some control over that (I speak of exim,

should be something similar in others) - remote_max_parallel comes to

The moderator password is the password set for the moderator in the

Re: [Mailman-Users] Treat post from non-member mail addresses like joinrequest?

this is roughly what I want to achieve, with a list that allows posts
from members only:

- when a member mails to list@domain, the message should be posted
as usual

- when a non-member mails to list@domain, this should be treated
like a subscription request, i.e. as if he had mailed to
list-join@domain


You could do this with a custom handler that would be in the pipeline
ahead of Moderate. It could do the same membership test as Moderate,
and then if it is a non-member post, queue it in the commands queue
with tojoin=1 in the metadata.

You could also let the pipeline continue and hold the non-member post,
but automatically approving that post when the poster becomes a member
is trickier. You could make a script that checks all posts held for
'post by non-member' and if the poster is now a member, approves the
post, and run that script periodically with cron.

There seems to be a few warning about .db files being older than their source. 
 Which I'm not sure how that happened.


Those files were apparently updated by something and postfix's
postalias and postmap commands were not run to update the .db files.

Subject: [Mailman-Users] digests without 'message #n...
   From: Rob Lingelbach r...@colorist.org
   Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2009 23:32:13 -0300
 To: mailman-users@python.org

one of my mailing lists is sending out digests without the usual
in-line separator of Message 1...  Message 2...  between the  
messages,
after the Table of Contents.

It is set to send MIME-type digests.


MIME vs. plain format digest is a user option not a list option. The
list option only sets the default for new users.

Plain format digests have messages inline separated by the RFC 1153
separator line (30 hyphens) followed by selected headers and the
scrubbed message body.

MIME format digests have each message as a separate MIME message/rfc822
part with partial headers and the MIME message body.

The Message: n line is aadded by digest processing as a message
header. Which headers appear in plain and MIME format digests is
controled by the settings MIME_DIGEST_KEEP_HEADERS and
PLAIN_DIGEST_KEEP_HEADERS, both of which include Message: by default.

However, what you actually see in the MIME format digest depends almost
entirely on the MUA used to view it.

The Postfix whose log excerpt you posted is not delivering mail to
Mailman. It received this message from mailman

Sep 23 14:35:08 lister postfix/smtp[21961]: DD7E063FE8:

mailman.241.1253734506.22214.lamon...@graceland.edu Queued mail for 
delivery)

and relayed it to mail.graceland.edu for delivery to the graceland.edu
domain. Whether this is the correct behavior or not depends on whether
mail.graceland.edu knows how to deliver this mail to Mailman and
whether that is what you want.

If this is not correct, it is a Postfix configuration issue.

I think we talked about this on the #mailman irc channel. IIRC, I
mentioned stopping Mailman and examining/removing entries from the
out/ and/or retry/ queues and you determined that the delivery had all
gotten to the MTA anyway.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Error when list Moderator deals with pendingrequests

Mark Ryan wrote:

We're running Mailman 2.1.12 on a Ubuntu server, version 9.0.4. We've run

Submit Data button, it throws the we hit a bug message. I looked through
the error logs and found this entry which I've copied and pasted below. I'm
the owner for all of our lists and I don't encounter this when I take care
of the pending requests, it only happens to the moderators. Can anyone give
me some insight as to what may be going on?


Yes. This is a Python 2.6 incompatibility in 2.1.12. It only occurs
when the moderators do the approval because only the moderators are
checking the 'Preserve messages for the site administrator' checkbox
when handling messages. (You might want to check Mailman's spam/
directory to see how many preserved messages are there.)

Here is a patch to fix the incompatibility.

I have nothing to add to the subject topic, but I just want to point
out that the Python 2.6.x incompatibility I mention in the post at
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2009-September/067223.html
also affects holding messages when HOLD_MESSAGES_AS_PICKLES = No.

Just for information, Mailman versions older than 2.1.12 are
incompatible with Python 2.6.x. Mailman 2.1.12 was intended to be
fully compatible with Python 2.6.x, but we missed one change which
only affects preserving messages for the admin from the admindb
interface and holding messages as text files. A patch for this issue 
is in the above post. This does not affect Mailman 2.1.12 when used
with Python 2.4.x or 2.5.x. See the FAQ at
http://wiki.list.org/x/pYA9 for more detail.

In this case we have an email address hosted by Google's business mail

http://lists.nextspace.us/mailman/admin/nextspace-chatter/?VARHELP=privacy/recipient/acceptable_aliases
I setup a test forwarded and confirmed that Google is in fact added the
X-BeenThere: header. I'm assuming that Google just added this header a
few days ago, since the list worked fine before that.
http://lists.nextspace.us/mailman/admin/nextspace-chatter/?VARHELP=privacy/recipient/acceptable_aliases
Also email sent to the list's local address (not routed via Google) work
just fine.


Are you sure it is Google adding this header. I get mail forwarded from
Google mail and the only headers of this type it adds are

X-Forwarded-To: m...@msapiro.net
X-Forwarded-For: msap...@value.net m...@msapiro.net



We have *require_explicit_destination* set, with the Google hosted
email address 
http://lists.nextspace.us/mailman/admin/nextspace-chatter/?VARHELP=privacy/recipient/require_explicit_destination
listed in the *acceptable_aliases*.
http://lists.nextspace.us/mailman/admin/nextspace-chatter/?VARHELP=privacy/recipient/acceptable_aliases
 
I disabled *require_explicit_destination*
http://lists.nextspace.us/mailman/admin/nextspace-chatter/?VARHELP=privacy/recipient/require_explicit_destination
and removed the acceptable aliases, however the problem still exists.


require_explicit_destination is processed by the Hold handler. Approve
has deleted the message long before it gets there.


I'm not certain I'm reading the code correctly, but it appears that
Mailman (version 2.1.5) is only looking for the presence of the
X-BeenThere: header, not comparing the contents to the list address :

/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Approve.py:

# has this message already been posted to this list?
beentheres = [s.strip().lower() for s in msg.get_all('x-beenthere', [])]
if mlist.GetListEmail().lower() in beentheres:
raise Errors.LoopError


This code is correct. It says make a list, beentheres, of the values of
all the X-BeenThere: headers of the message (lower cased and stripped
of leading and trailing whitespace). Then if this list's posting
address (lower cased) is in that beentheres list raise the LoopError
exception which results in the message being discarded.


Thoughts?


It seems really strange that Google would add an X-BeenThere: header
with the forward-to address, but if in fact they are, you have to take
this up with them.

You could remove the code you quote above from Approve.py, but then you
run the risk of mail bombing the list if there is a real loop.

You could also change the name of the header from X-BeenThere to say
X-X-BeenThere. to do that, you would replace 'x-beenthere' in the code
you quote above from Approve.py with 'x-x-beenthere' and change the
line

msg['X-BeenThere'] = mlist.GetListEmail()

in Mailman/Handlers/CookHeaders.py to

msg['X-X-BeenThere'] = mlist.GetListEmail()

You'd also need to change 'x-beenthere' to 'x-x-beenthere' one place in
cron/gate_news if you are doing any usenet to Mailman gatewaying.
