1. Regular mail is not being delivered.
Are you sure the qrunner is being invoked by cron every minute? Are there no clues in the logs/* files? Or in your mail server's logs? Are the messages still in the qfiles/ directory?
The systems admin who is NOT a unix expert thinks the drive is seriously
corrupted. So, I need to pull off the subscriber list and rebuild the drive.
If you save the contents of the ~mailman/lists directory you will be able to recreate your lists using them. (You will also want to backup your ~mailman/archives directories (if you find out why the files have gone missing) and things like any customizations you've made in mm_cfg.py.)
Can anyone help me? I am in the process of moving everyone over to digest
mode so that I can send them all a message explaining the problem.. Is there
a way to do that easily? Right now I am going through all the screens in the
Membership Management area clicking digest on every name. Its taking
forever.. Is there an easier, more global way?
If you have shell access, you can use ~mailman/bin/withlist to set everyone to digest mode:
1. Create ~mailman/bin/alldigest.py containing:
### alldigest.py
def alldigest(m):
for member in m.GetMembers():
print member
m.SetUserDigest(member, 1)
m.Save()
### alldigest.py
2. Run it with the 'withlist' framework on your list
./withlist -l -r alldigest yourlistname
If you don't have shell access, you can write a script that acts like a (fast) web browser. Some Mailman 2.1.x-oriented examples are at http://starship.python.net/crew/jwt/mailman/#throughtheweb
It would be better to solve the real problem. And/or upgrade to 2.1.x. But if you do choose to proceed with the "set everyone to digest mode" method, backup the list first so that when the problem is eventually solved, you will have a record of who really wanted digest mode.
