[Mailman-Users] unable to get Mailman posts out
I am the owner of a new mail list, [EMAIL PROTECTED], which is running at level 2.0.10. There appears to be at least intermittent problems in being able to send messages. For example, I posted a message about noon last Thursday which did not appear in the archive list until a little after 6 pm. Specifically, the last message was sent from my system [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:waverly%40mail.tfn.net[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu, 27 Feb 2003 12:13:47 -0600 With the mailman archive information as follows: Last message date: Thu Feb 27 18:13:47 2003 Archived on: Thu Feb 27 17:04:24 2003 I have not received this message and on inquiry to two subscribers learned that they also had not seen them. The webmail system being used by tfn is Horde. Is there some setting in Mailman that I am missing that is causing mail not to go out?

[Mailman-Users] Re: ht://Dig error
I am running Mailman 2.1 - fresh install last week All qrunner processes are running under UID mailman. On the face of it this looks OK. What I am puzzled by is that the symlinks are owned root:mailman. I would have expected them to be owned by mailman:mailman. Ths links are normally automatically created as mail posted to the list is being dealt with by Mailman and I would expect the process concerned to be running under the mailman uid. What version of MM are you running? If MM 2.0.x is the qrunner cron job running under the mailman user? If MM 2.1 or 2.1.1 how are you starting mailmanctl? Htdig came preinstalled with my Slackware install. It was initially installed in /opt/var .. but I am old skool and prefer my www in /var/www. I moved reqd htdig to /var/www/htdig. /var/www/htdig/conf does contain config files, but where do I check to see if CONFIG_DIR is set to that location How did you install htdig and can you confirm that the installation's default CONFIG_DIR is /var/www/htdig/conf? Yes ...

Also that, following nightly_htdig they contain files like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mailman/run/archives/private/rbtest/htdig ls -l total 20 -rw-rw-r--1 mailman mailman 2048 Feb 25 17:45 db.docdb -rw-rw-r--1 mailman mailman 2048 Feb 25 17:45 db.docs.index -rw-rw-r--1 mailman mailman 128 Feb 25 17:45 db.wordlist -rw-rw-r--1 mailman mailman 2048 Feb 25 17:45 db.words.db -rw-rw-rw-1 mailman mailman 3879 Feb 25 17:38 rbtest.conf -rw-rw-r--1 mailman mailman 0 Feb 25 17:45 rundig_last_run Tried your recommendation, I can verify that all the files are cleared with blowaway, and the serachform is removed from TOC. After sending a msg to the list, the search form is available again and the respective files have been recreated. Running the nightly cronjob within the mailman crontab - gives me the following errors though: Subject: cron: /usr/local/bin/python -S /usr/local/mailman/cron/nightly_htdig mailman. Note the last line - it is still pointing to the old /opt/www/htdig location. Can that be changed in config file or is that compiled into htdig. Maybe I just need to recompile htdig to my preferred location.

The error message is: Unable to read configuration file You could try the following and see if it has any beneficial effects: 1. Select one of your lists and run /usr/local/mailman/bin/blowaway_htdig for that list 2. The search form should now be gone from the list's TOC page 3, Send a message to the list 4. The search form should now be back on the list's TOC page. The /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/listname/htdig/listname.conf file should be back and alone in the dirctory. Also the symlink in /usr/local/mailman/archives/htdig/ should be back. 5. Run nightly_htdig -v listname to rebuild the list's search indexes and confirm the script says it is doing so. This should add the extra files to /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/listname/htdig/ and update the list's TOC page. 6. Searching should now work. Thank

Re: [Mailman-Users] Installing Mailman
Definitely install it on your Linux box. If you read the dependencies you will see that the box needs to have a Mail-server running on it (Sendmail or Postfix work just fine). You also need Apache (the web-server) configured and running - the standard configuration should work just fine. You will need Python version 2.2.x running on the box for the latest version of Mailman to work (version 2.1.1.). You should also make sure that your Linux server is defined properly in DNS and that it's host name resolves properly on the box as well as locally (use the hostname command to figure out what it thinks it's host name is). With all that in place and working (which is not a lot since most of that is standard), then you can download and install Mailman from source very easily. Down load Mailman from Sourceforge. It will come as a big file named something like: mailman_2.1.1.tar.gz Expand the file using the following command: tar -xzf mailman_2.1.1.tar.gz This will create a directory named mailman: cd mailman Now read the file INSTALL it will tell you to create a user on your system named mailman and a group on the system named mailman, and then it will give you two commands to run: ./configure make install You may need to add some switches to ./configure if you are running some odd variants of a Mail-server or web-server. For specific instructions on various Mail-servers read the README files that are in the same directory as the INSTALL file.

[Mailman-Users] Failures after Sendmail upgrade
Just upgraded to Mailman 2.0.13 from 2.0.8 a couple of weeks ago. Last week I upgraded Sendmail from 8.12.3 to 8.12.7. I got a bunch of these back today (after the monthly reminders were sent out). Is this a Mailman issue or sendmail?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Failures after Sendmail upgrade
Depending on how you upgraded, it might be checking the wrong directory for smrsh information. There is a note in the Archives discussing this. === From Keith Steward === When CMDDIR is not defined by the OS, then in smrsh.c it defaults to /usr/adm/sm.bin/ . Even though RedHat7.2 already has an /etc/smrsh/ directory (including a link entry there for slocal), the Sendmail (at least the 8.11.6 version I downloaded and installed) was not using that directory. Instead, it was looking for the default /usr/adm/sm.bin/. The /etc/smrsh/ directory was a red herring! Once I created the /usr/adm/sm.bin, and chmod 755 (recommended by the smrsch/README within Sendmail), and then set up the symbolic link in there: mailman - /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman the problem disappeared. === HtH - Jon Carnes On Sat, 2003-03-01 at 20:57, Bob Sully wrote: Just upgraded to Mailman 2.0.13 from 2.0.8 a couple of weeks ago.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Failures after Sendmail upgrade
Jon: I upgraded via the 8.12.7 tarball, not rpm; the old 8.12.3 version was rpm'd. Nope...that wasn't it. There's no directory sm.bin anywhere on the server. I was able to get working by disabling smrsh altogether (removing the line enabling it in sendmail.mc, then recreating sendmail.cf); the mailing lists are now functioning as they were before. However, I'd like to find a better fix than this, if possible; smrsh does serve a security function, I suppose! Thanks again. -- Bob -- On 1 Mar 2003, Jon Carnes wrote: Depending on how you upgraded, it might be checking the wrong directory for smrsh information.

[Mailman-Users] Starting mailman with daemontools
Has anyone ever written the run doc for starting mailman with DJBNS daemontools. I tried this: #!/bin/sh exec 21 exec envuidgid mailman \ rm -f /usr/local/mailman/locks/* \ exec /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/mailman/bin/mailmanctl start but it doesn't seem to be starting mailman properly.
