[Mailman-Users] Converting majordomo archives to pipermail
I've got 360MB of ASCII majordomo archives, all files in the form listname.MM. I'd like to grandfather them into the pipermail archives our list will be creating, once it's run by mailman. How do the monthly text archives from majordomo correspond to the files down in archives/private? I tried concatenating the first six months of majordomo archives into archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox, then running 'bin/arch listname'. It looked like it worked, but it's slow. I had to iterate the process a couple times, because some old messages were misinterpreted as very recent. (February 2002, instead of late 1996) Is the mbox file just one giant text file that keeps growing? Did I do it the right way? Is there any documentation for the version of pipermail that comes with mailman? Morgan -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users

Could someone please tell me what the proper combination of settings would be in the General Posting Filter section under the Privacy Settings in the Administrative Interface? - Must posts be approved by an administrator? [yes or no] - Restrict posting privilege to list members?

The sourceforge site is down right now, I'll report this when its up.

patches:
mailman-2.0.8-plaintext-0.16.patch
indexing-2.0.6.patch
htdig-2.0.8-0.1.patch
The mbox has some older messages for which pipermail apparently punts,
setting their date to February 2002. I will look into a work-around which
splits and then rebuilds the mbox with better date formatting. Not sure how
to go about that..
The list has been served by majordomo for six years, with the archives
parsed and displayed by mhonarc and searchable by glimpse via wilma. We're
switching to mailman, and I'd like to try pipermail+htdig.
Can pipermail be expected to parse such a large archive? The machine has
lots of CPU, RAM and disk space.
Any advice?

I'm using a directory structure like /var/mailman/domain. Qmail is configured to point lists.domain1 to user 'mailman' and lists.domain2 to user 'mailman1'. I then user qmail-to-mailman.py.

So when I went looking for the problem, I noticed that the link inside public archives was red (meaning that wasn´t liking anything). Is this beacause of nfs exporting or because when trying to make the aliases the file that it should update is not the one on the webserver but the one on the MTA machine. I really don´t understand how this should be done, because I must have to separated machines! So, anyone can help me?

[Mailman-Users] Mailman + Mohnarc
I'm not to fond of Mailman's archiving system and would like to use Mohnarc (which I am already familiar with) instead. Has anyone used both these together? If so, how?

[Mailman-Users] Mailman Wishlist
I was looking over the Mailman website and came across this page: http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/MM21/todo.html I noticed that in every section of the todo list it actually repeats the entire todo list from the very beginning to the end of that section... as opposed to from the beginning of the section to the end of the section. Take a look and I think you'll see what I mean. I've taken the liberty to correct the issue myself and attached is the html file. Please note that I didn't actually make any changes of the items in the todo, I just changed the format so that it didn't repeat the same thing over and over. It's still the 11 July 2001 list. Feel free to contact me for any other help. Take care, Neal E.

Many new features have been added to Mailman 2.1 (still in alpha as of this writing 11-Jul-2001), so what's left will probably end up in a Mailman 3.0. Please also see the Mailman design notes wiki at http://www.zope.org/Members/bwarsaw/MailmanDesignNotes/FrontPage Email Handling Use VERP or DSN for address tracing, perhaps tied to the monthly password reminders, or VERPing the occasional regular message. Re-implement bulk mailer the Right Way: an asynchat/asyncore server to do DNS lookups and remote MTA delivery directly (optional). Documentation A detailed feature list A user's guide A site-admin's guide A list-admin's guide More on-line documentation and UI help A developer's guide w/ architecture and API information manpages for the scripts in bin and cron Integrate Christopher Kolar's documentation General Web UI NO DEAD ENDS and every web page is reachable. All web UI must be configurable so that it more easily integrates into an existing site's design. Probably means using a template language/system like Zope's Presentation Templates, Quixote, or PHP. Default UI should add a navigation sidebar to all web pages. Web pages should never mention disabled features. List Administration Allow the moderator to edit posts being held for approval (make it evident, either through a header or other means that the message was edited by the moderator). Allow the list-admin to require approvals for unsubs Allow the admin to disable option settings by users Ability to set defaults for the various user settings from the "Membership Management" page. Allow admins to control and set individual headers, adding, removing, or overriding those in the original message (sometimes very useful, but could be dangerous!) New moderation choice: archive but don't send to list. New moderation choice: annotate and send to author for resubmittal. Make it easier for an admin who manages multiple lists to handling pending requests sitting on all those lists. Ability to ban specific troublesome users (from posting, subscribing, etc). Posts from banned users would be discarded. Better integration with moderated newsgroups (and allow some addresses to bypass even that moderation and be delivered to a secondary channel, like [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Add an option to include Reply-To: header in the membership test for a members-only list posting List Membership Allow the user to be excluded from postings if they're getting them in the to: or cc: headers. Be smarter about filtering out duplicate deliveries. Have one account per user per site, with multiple email addresses and fallbacks. Allow them to subscribe whichever address they want to whichever list, with different options per subscription. Allow the user to get BOTH normal and digested delivery (but I still don't understand why someone would want this) More flexible digests: index digests (subject and authors only, with URLs to retrieve the article) Timed vacations, allowing a user to postpone or discard email for a certain number of days or weeks. Site Administration Allow the site admin to define list styles or themes, and list admins
[Mailman-Users] Mailman configuration problems
I have a problem with configuring Mailman. I am installing Mailman 1.1 because I do not have the latest version of Python and there is a ripple effect if i need to upgrade the software. So I decided to go with Mailman 1.1 with a compatible version of Python. I need support for virtual hosts. I was wondering if Mailman 1.1 supports it. Also, I successfully installed Mailman and created a test list. I got an email to my account with a link to the mailman administrator site. When i check the link http://www.openmp.org/mailman/admin/satheeshtest it says Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request... Mu suexec_log is as below - [2002-02-15 12:05:55]: info: (target/actual) uid: (ompweb/ompweb) gid: (ompweb/ompweb) cmd: index.cgi [2002-02-15 12:06:14]: info: (target/actual) uid: (ompweb/ompweb) gid: (ompweb/ompweb) cmd: index.cgi [2002-02-15 12:06:57]: info: (target/actual) uid: (ompweb/ompweb) gid: (ompweb/ompweb) cmd: index.cgi - I have no idea whats has gone wrong. But I do not find the directory mailman/admin/satheeshtest in www.openmp.org. Who creates it? It is a named virtual host. Any help on this would be appreciated.

[Mailman-Users] Problems Installing Mailman
Hi, I'm attempting to install Mailman 2.0.8 on Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 and am having problems. The install seemed to go smoothly up until I created the test list. That seemed to go ok and I got an email from mail-owner about the new list including the URLs of the two web pages. However when I try and go to them I'm told that the page is not found. When I try and send a help command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get the message shown below. I'm rather new to Linux. It seemed like the Apache install went OK because I can get to the standard info page. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! Bruce --- This message was created automatically by mail delivery software. A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients.

[Mailman-Users] md5 passwords
Hi, I'm trying to locate where mailman stores the md5 password hashes for the subscribers to the list so I can use the list to authenticate other tasks (share the same password hash file).

[Mailman-Users] news-mail gateway not working
Hi,
I have got mailman to post the mail-news messages but any messages that
are sent to the newsgroup do not get posted to the mailing list.
The cron job returns this message...
Subject: Cron mailman@gloria /usr/bin/python -S
/home/mailman/cron/gate_news
Traceback (innermost last):

raise NNTPTemporaryError(resp)
Mailman.pythonlib.nntplib.NNTPTemporaryError: 411 No such group flt.acm
But I know for a fact that the newsgroup works, and plus mail-news *is*
working fine. What can be wrong with the news-mail part?
The newsgroup has no user restrictions.
Thanks,
