[Mailman-Users] digest issues
Hi there, I just started a new list with mailman, and as it's a heavy traffic list (already) people have been going on digest. However, a lot of the digest email seems to be a mix of html tags and ascii, making most of the digest illegible. Is there a way I can get the digest to be legible without making everyone write emails to the list in plain text?

I'd like the Reply-To: address to point to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] but mails sent from the list appear to be from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] in spite of my efforts to specify the Return-To: settings through the mailman admin tools.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Crash when adding subscribers
Problem solved it seems. Let's recapitulate : I execute the add_members command to add members to the list 'test'. The file 'addresses' contains a few addresses (one per line). The '-w y' option triggers a notification mail to the new subscribers. nyiragongo:/home/jim/admin/mailman# add_members -r addresses -w y test Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/sbin/add_members, line 255, in ? main() File /usr/sbin/add_members, line 235, in main addall(mlist, nmembers, 0, send_welcome_msg, s) File /usr/sbin/add_members, line 135, in addall mlist.ApprovedAddMember(userdesc, ack, 0) File /var/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py, line 902, in ApprovedAddMember digest, text) File /var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Deliverer.py, line 78, in SendSubscribeAck text, pluser) File /var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Message.py, line 206, in __init__ errors='replace') TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'errors' I was initially quite puzzled, but I managed to relate the error to the last call. Line 206 in /var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Message.py is : self['Subject'] = Header(subject, charset, header_name='Subject',errors='replace') I changed it to self['Subject'] = Header(subject, charset, header_name='Subject') and my add_members command now executes fine although some error case that I don't quite understand is no longer handled. I wonder why I'm the only one to have encountered that problem. Good thing the source was there so I could fix it myself. Good thing that Python is interpreted so that I can fix the code directly without recompiling. I'm amazed that a non-programmer like me can fix that kind of problems. -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
Re: [Mailman-Users] newbie question
Hay Ed, What version of Mailman are you using? Guessing that you are using a recent version, you should be able to set the Mailing host (as opposed to the Web host) separate within the configuration file: ~mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py You would be setting up a virtual domain since the address is different from the default.

[Mailman-Users] Dealing with duplicate messages

In addition, the same people are subscribed to other mailing lists on the system. The problem is that they're complaining about duplicate messages whenever anybody cross-posts to these mailing lists and I was wondering if MailMan is clever enough to detect that this same person is receiving the same message and consequently only delivers one copy.

[Mailman-Users] mailing list vs. posting list
One of the features of majordomo was that you could separate the addresses on the mailing-list and the addresses which were able to post to the list (i think it was the restricted_posters= config option). In my case, I have an all-staff list and an all-faculty list. Sometimes our staff (not on the faculty list) sends reminder notices to the faculty (apparently they are old and forget things easily or something). The obvious thing to do is to open up the mailing list so _anyone_ can post to it --- great, but I don't want disgruntled students sending stuff to the list. Which used to happen a lot. :( The next obvious thing to do is to also add the staff to the faculty list, but mark them as disabled -- still subscribed, but they won't receive e-mail. Last but not least, the list (or site) admin can manually approve messages from the staff. ugh.

Or is it just me who couldnt do it? :) I think i will just swap the production machine for my test machine rather than do all that remotely. Many thanks Pete Richard Barrett [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/07/2003 09:21 AM To: Peter Russell [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject:Re: [Mailman-Users] Really Fustrating - Searchable Archives Peter I did the notes below for somebody else wanting to upgrade Mailman 2.1.2 installed from source. If you have installed Mailman from source on your test machine why not take a look at my notes and see what you think. Try adding the htdig integration to your test machine to see how much of a problem you find it. If you like I will take a look at a procedure for de-installing the RPM installed MM on your production machine and replacing it with MM from source. One thing you could do is send me the output from the following command: rpm -ql mailman I run Suse Linux rather than RedHat so I cannot readily check the exact details of the files RedHat's mailman RPM package installs. The command I've given provides that information. Regards Richard - The following notes are applicable to MM 2.1.2 installed from source. Phase 1 - Initial preparation of Mailman === 1. Download the following patch files and save them in the directory above your Mailman build directory. templates-2.1.2-0.1.patch from http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=728836group_id=103atid=100103 tcache-2.1.2-0.3.patch.gz from http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=730769group_id=103atid=100103 tz-2.1.2-0.2.patch from http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=732366group_id=103atid=100103 indexing-2.1.2-0.1.patch.gz from http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=444879group_id=103atid=300103 htdig-2.1.2-0.3.patch.gz from http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=444884group_id=103atid=300103 2. gunzip all of the patch files that are .gz suffix. For example use the command: gunzip indexing-2.1.2-0.1.patch.gz 3. With your MM build directory as current working directory apply the patches: patch -p1 ../templates-2.1.2-0.1.patch patch -p1 ../tcache-2.1.2-0.3.patch patch -p1 ../tz-2.1.2-0.2.patch patch -p1 ../indexing-2.1.2-0.1.patch patch -p1 ../htdig-2.1.2-0.3.patch 4. Run the Mailman ./configure using exactly the same command as you ran when you originally installed Mailman. 5. Use mailmanctl to stop Mailman's daemons. For example use the command: $prefix/bin/mailmanctl stop 6. Remove Mailman's crontab. For example use the following command as root: crontab -r -u mailman 7. Stop your MTA. For example you might run, as root, the following command if you were running sendmail: /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail stop 8. Stop your web server. For example you might run, as root, the following command: /etc/rc.d/init.d/apache stop 9. Run the Mailman make install: make install 10. Run the Mailman checkperms with $prefix as the current working director, re-running it with the -f option if any errors are reported: $prefix/bin/check_perms 11. Restart your web server. 12. Reinstall the Mailman crontab, which should now have an extra entry for running nightly_htdig in it. 13. Use mailmanctl to restart Mailman's daemons. Mailman should now be patched to support the use of Htdig for searching but nothing will be activated until Htdig is installed and some Mailman configuration variables have been set up. Check Mailman is working normally in all other respects. Phase 2 - Installing Htdig === I strongly recommend using Htdig 3.1.6. I have not tested my mailman-htdig patches with other than the latest stable release which is 3.1.6. RedHat seems to distribute htdig 3.2b3 as if it were a stable release and I have had several reports of people having problems of one sort or another with it. 1. Getting the htdig 3.1.6 source via this page http://htdig.org/where.html works for me. 2. Having unpacked the source package I then run commands, as root, to configure and install it, basically following the instructions here http://htdig.org/install.html, with the following commands: ./configure --with-cgi-bin-dir=/usr/local/httpd/cgi-bin --with-image-dir=/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/htdig make make install 3. In my case this installs htdig into the default /opt/www/htdig/ directory with some of the web related stuff under the ServerRoot directory for my Apache server. If ServerRoot in your Apache server's /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf is not /usr/local/httpd then change the ./configure line above to be what your system is setup for.

It really helps when you move those slow MTA's to the end of the line, they don't block the messages getting out to the quicker ones. That is another recommendation common to the papers by Kolstad, Chalup, Christensen, myself, etc Yes. Postfix. For you that would be a fairly easy change. RedHat 9 comes with an MTA changer that will move you over to Postfix automagically. I don't know the effect that will have on Mailman, but I've heard from third-hand sources that it works fine (which I find surprising). Out-of-the-box, postfix tends to be well-designed for use with mailing lists. With work (and some money), you can configure sendmail to outperform even postfix on the same box, but this is not trivial. BTW: I looked at the the other fellows recommend web-sites. This one seemed worth the trip, and a good recommendation for reading (though a bit dated). Most of it was general to any Mail server. http://www.jetcafe.org/npc/doc/performance_tuning.pdf Nick's got a good paper, but when it comes to mailing lists, don't ignore the papers by Kolstad or Chalup. -- Brad Knowles, [EMAIL PROTECTED] They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.

RFC 822 (and 2822) require that all CNAME aliases be resolved to their canonical name, before being put in mail headers. This problem cannot be solved by mailman, or your MTA.

Yup, mailman can do the same. The next obvious thing to do is to also add the staff to the faculty list, but mark them as disabled -- still subscribed, but they won't receive e-mail. You can do that. Or, you can add the staff members to the white list for the faculty mailing list, and all the specified e-mail addresses will be able to post, in addition to the subscribers.
