Re: [Mailman-Users] New FAQ entry: broken autoresponders

2001-12-10 Thread Steve Lay

More simply, if the return path of a message is ever null (), it
should be bounced from wrapper post.

Which is the same as what I went on to say I think...

Mailman (post 1.1) does this bounce detection - presumably by looking at
the envelope sender in the first instance.  I think I'm arguing for
envelope senders of postmaster[@domain] and mailer-daemon[@domain] to
be treated as failure messages by bounce detection code too.  People with
broken autoresponders would then get treated as if their address was
failing while they took a vacation.  This appeals to me as the punishment
gets inflicted on the trouble maker, not the innocent list admin or (even
worse) the other subscribers.

Out of interest, where in the mailman code does this test get done?

Re: [Mailman-Users] exporting / importing users

Subject: [Mailman-Users] exporting / importing users


 Hi there

 I'm wondering if it's possible to import or export subscribers of a
 particular list (without using the web interface). I've got three specific
 questions:

 1. How would I go about importing a comma separated list of 12,000 email
 addresses into an existing mailman list?

bin/add_members can be used to add a list of email addresses to a list.
This
utility wants to see one exactly one email address per line, so you'll
probably
need to use some simple scripting or shell commands to extract the
appropriate
data from your CSV file.

 2. How could I export email addresses of users from an existing mailman
list
 into some standard format (e.g. CSV, XML)?

bin/list_members will output a list all of the subscribers to a list, one
address per
line.  You can run this output through a script to add commas, XML tags,
etc.
as needed.

 3. How does mailman store this stuff anyway?

In lists/listname/config.db, which is not directly readable.  I'm not
involved
with Mailman's development effort, but I would recommend using the utilities
mentioned above, to maintain compatibility with future releases.  If you
wrote
code to use the database file, it might not work right with the next
release, or
your code could accidentally kill your list by damaging the database.

Hope this helps,
  Dave Melton

Re: [Mailman-Users] help..

2001-12-10 Thread Jon Carnes



Obtain the software from:
 http://sourceforge.net/projects/mailman/

I recommend that you download v 2.0.8 as this is 
the current stable version.
I also recommend that you install it on a Linux 
box. If you use a standard distribution like Mandrake, you will find that 
it comes with an earlier version of Mailman. Previous versions of Mailman 
had a bug that would cause them to stop delivering if they received a malformed 
bounce email, so you will want the 2.0.8 version.

4000 email addresses is not a problem for Mailman - 
if you run it on a fairly decent machine with adequate internet 
access.

Once you have installed Mailman, and followed all 
the install directions, then you will create a list and subscribe your email 
addresses to that list.

No.  There's lots of other software out there for filtering viral email

Before going any further, you might as well get the latest version of 
Mailman, which is 2.0.8, from 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103release_id=63078

Getting Mailman going is a 2 phase process. Assuming you have 
mailman-2.0.8.tgz in your home directory:

1. First you unpack the .tgz file into the 'build' directory. Execute the 
following commands while logged on as you, not as root.

 cd
 tar zxf mailman-2.0.8.tgz
 cd mailman-2.0.8

2.  You then go into that directory to configure Mailman and then run the 
make install which copies the configured, executable version of Mailman 
into the directory from which it is normally run.

 From what you say, you have unzipped and untarred the .tgz file and 
created a build directory as /home/business/mailman-2.0.7. If you wanted 
the build directory somewhere else then you could use the UNIX mv command 
to move it or delete it and unzip and untar the .tgz file in the directory 
under which you want to put the build directory; I usually put the build 
directory under my home directory.

Once you have got the build directory where you want it then you will want 
to change to that directory. Now follow the instructions in 
mailman-2.0.8/INSTALL.

Per the mailman-2.0.8/INSTALL file you will want to have created the UNIX 
user ID and group ID which will run mailman: the user named mailman and 
group called mailman before you configure Mailman.

If you intend to run Mailman from /home/business/mailman then make sure to 
supply this as the --prefix parameter to configure. Also make sure you know 
the mail group ID and cgi group ID and supply these as the --with-mail-gid 
and --with-cgi-gid parameters to configure.

You will then run the make program in the build directory to install 
Mailman in the directory from which you intend to run it.

I do not mean to be rude but if what I've said above isn't making much 
sense and you are struggling with the INSTALL instructions you may need to 
upgrade your Linux/UNIX administration skills before embarking on using 
Mailman. Without some Linux/UNIX adminstration skills you are going to find 
operating Mailman and your MTA may produce problems you will struggle to 
cope with.

can you supply me a command line that will unpak
it into the correct directory...

Thanks

 heard about using defered mode to bypass local DNS lookups with Sendmail and
 Exim... Can anyone tell me how I can do this with Postfix? Is it configured
 this way to start with? If not can someone tell me what change I need to
 make in the main.cf file for this.

There is an option in main.cf called disable_dns_lookups, but I've got
it set to no with no problems.

You are all but subwidgets in a composite container whose logical tab
group I have registered the traversal order of.  I can merely point at you
and your popup dialogue will be unmapped unless XmNautoUnmanage is False.

 I imagine a tar -zxvf mailman.tar.gz would work wonders...
if not, you may need to re-download the tar file.

On non-gnu unix (example solaris) you need to have gzip available in the 
path. 

gzip -dc mailman.tar.gz |tar xfv -

[Mailman-Users] Newbie Help, No Mail Sent

2001-12-10 Thread Joel Barnum

I use a web hosting service that's running Mailman 2.0.6. I've setup
a few lists in the past couple of months and they were working
fine. But in the last week or so, the lists stopped working --
emails sent to the list address don't bounce, but are not forwarded
(the proverbial bit bucket). I tried setting the ack setting to
on, but that didn't work either (no ack sent). But if I subscribe a 
new email address, the welcome message is sent.

I opened a support ticket with the hosting service, and they assured 
me that We have checked the mail list server and it is sending out 
emails at this time. 

My question is: what can I tell the support people to check so they
can fix the problem?
