I have just upgraded mailman from 1.1 to 2.0.5 - everything went smoothly, but I have
some minor issues though.
1) When the news gate service tries to connect to a down NNTP server, ugly messages
are logged in the error log. Maybe the fact should rather just be logged in the
fromusenet log? Here is an example:
Traceback (innermost last):
File "/home/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 222, in ?
main()
File "/home/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 203, in main
process_lists(lock)
File "/home/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 148, in process_lists
conn, first, last = open_newsgroup(mlist)
File "/home/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 75, in open_newsgroup
password=mm_cfg.NNTP_PASSWORD)
File "/home/mailman/Mailman/pythonlib/nntplib.py", line 111, in __init__
self.sock.connect((self.host, self.port))
socket.error: (111, 'Connection refused')
2) I get another funny error also from the news gateway. I cannot explain it though:
Traceback (innermost last):
File "/home/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 222, in ?
main()
File "/home/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 203, in main
process_lists(lock)
File "/home/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 148, in process_lists
conn, first, last = open_newsgroup(mlist)
File "/home/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 75, in open_newsgroup
password=mm_cfg.NNTP_PASSWORD)
File "/home/mailman/Mailman/pythonlib/nntplib.py", line 114, in __init__
self.welcome = self.getresp()
File "/home/mailman/Mailman/pythonlib/nntplib.py", line 180, in getresp
resp = self.getline()
File "/home/mailman/Mailman/pythonlib/nntplib.py", line 172, in getline
if not line: raise EOFError
EOFError
3) Something is funny with bounce detection. My test list has the following bounce
options:
Minimum number of posts to the list since members first
bounce before we consider removing them from the list = 3
Action when critical or excessive bounces are detected = Remove and notify me
The list also requires post approval from the moderator
I get this in the log when sending a couple of message to the list with a bogus
address that I added manually:
May 07 17:41:00 2001 (8803) Test: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - first
May 08 09:01:01 2001 (29662) Test: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 1 more allowed over 376799 secs
May 08 09:01:01 2001 (29662) Test: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 1 more allowed over 376799 secs
May 08 09:15:01 2001 (32675) Test: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 0 more allowed over 375958 secs
May 08 09:24:01 2001 (2018) Test: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 0 more allowed over 375418 secs
I don't understand the sequence of numbers - why 0 0 then 1 1? The address does not
get removed after three failures. I have sent more tests and they all say 0 more
allowed - what gives?
