[Mailman-Users] help on converting Lyris archive
Hi,folks Does anyone have experience of converting a Lyris mailing list archive to mailman? I am trying to convert a mailing list from Lyris to Mailman. I used exp-arc.pl(which came with Lyris) to extract archive to a .mbox file and strip those CR/LF. I created a list in mailman with the same name and put this .mbox under archives/private/hdfnet.mbox/hdfnet.box,then I run arch command from mailman/bin like this ./arch hdfnet /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/hdfnet.mbox/hdfnet.mbox I got such error message Updating HTML for article 182 Updating index files for archive [2002-December] Date Subject Author Thread Computing threaded index Updating HTML for article 183 Pickling archive state into /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/hdfnet/pipermail.pck Traceback (most recent call last): File bin/arch, line 186, in ? main() File bin/arch, line 174, in main archiver.processUnixMailbox(fp, start, end) File /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/pipermail.py, line 544, in processUnixMailbox m = mbox.next() File /usr/lib/python2.2/mailbox.py, line 33, in next return self.factory(_Subfile(self.fp, start, stop)) File /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Mailbox.py, line 79, in scrubber return mailbox.scrub(msg) File /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Mailbox.py, line 99, in scrub return self._scrubber(self._mlist, msg) File /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py, line 132, in process dir = calculate_attachments_dir(mlist, msg, msgdata) File /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py, line 93, in calculate_attachments_dir datedir = safe_strftime(fmt, now) File /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py, line 77, in safe_strftime return time.strftime(fmt, floatsecs) TypeError: argument must be 9-item sequence, not None and in mailman web interface, I only got monthly archive up to 2002 Dec. anyone can help me? thanks a lot in advance! -- Best regards, Zhang mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 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
[Mailman-Users] mm_cfg.py
I've just updated to MM 2.1.2. All now working as expected - thanks to those who helped! I'd like to add personalisation to the mail footer (as this list does). As I understand it I have to edit the mm_cfg.py file. Looking at it, it appears to be an old version from my MM 2.0.x perhaps. Anyway there's no lines about VERP_PERSONALIZED_DELIVERIES = 1 which I expected. I think the mm.cfg.py is not updated - correct? Whatever, do I have a correct version to replace the old one with? What should I be doing? I assume when I find these lines and enable them I'll see a change in the web interface?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Approving messages
Cindy, You are correct. Unfortunately, the exact step-by-step instructions will depend on the MUA (Mail User Agent or email program) you use. What Mailman does is send out the confirmation mail with two attachments. The first attachment is the original message so you can read it and be informed. The second attachment is the message you need to reply to if you want to approve or discard the message. If your MUA allows you to reply to the attached message, the instructions are reasonable. If your MUA does not allow you to do this, you have to compose a new message and copy the Subject: of this attachment and make sure you send it to the listname-request address. Here is a more complete example: First, the second attachment message: Subject: confirm 390a5be57d976cd1b3954224f81d9e3c520e0e97 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you reply to this message, keeping the Subject: header intact, Mailman will discard the held message. Do this if the message is spam. If you reply to this message and include an Approved: header with the list password in it, the message will be approved for posting to the list. The Approved: header can also appear in the first line of the body of the reply. Second, you want to approve the message. Your message back to Mailman should look like this: To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: confirm 390a5be57d976cd1b3954224f81d9e3c520e0e97 Approved: MyPassword Where MyPassword is the list administrator's or moderator's password. If your MUA allows you to make it part of the header, do so. If it doesn't make absolutely sure it is the first line of the text of the message. Third, you want to discard the message. Everything is the same except you don't put in the Approved: MyPassword line. Hope this helps.
