Here is my gift to the Mailman community.I have created a PHP script to display Mailman logs via an HTTP interface. (I used PHP because it is what I know best, Python is still too new for me).
It was developed to aid list owners on a server running Plesk with very restricted access policies. Most of those list owners have not been given shell access and they have no other way to access the logs.
This script allows you to view any of the mailman logs and apply filter criteria to them such as by date, by e-mail list or by a text string you are looking for (such as an e-mail address or message-id, you can use Perl-compatible regular expression syntax). It also allows you to view the entries in default chronological order (earliest to latest) or in reverse chronological order.
The filtering is highly useful when you have very large log files or only care about certain entries.
To use this script, un-tar the attached file and follow the instructions in the README.txt file.
I highly recommend putting this in a location that requires authentication for access and you may also wish to use encryption (https).
The script and all associated files are distributed under the GNU GPL. No warranty of any kind is given or implied.
Anyway, I hope some of you will find this useful.
