[Mailman-Users] Multiple/Redundant Mailman servers
What's the Best Current Practice for running Multiple or Redundant Mailman servers? I have a distributed mail system - centralized local message store, and many SMTP/POP heads. I'd *like* to be able to run Mailman on all of them, with the same lists and configs. Currently I NFS mount the configs for many other software packages, and it works well. I've tried NFS mounting /usr/local/mailman, and making qfiles a symlink to a local directory on each machine. This doesn't work; I get messages shunted because of Stale NFS filehandles and permission errors, even though check_perms says I'm good. If this simply isn't possible, I can shunt all of the mail to a central list server, and just back-up mailman so I can bring it up elsewhere if necessary. But I'd love to have a way to do this. -- Charlie Watts Brainstorm Internet 970 247-1442 x113 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.brainstorminternet.net/ -- 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] The causing a problem
I'm getting more confused by the second... I've removed the list and re-created it without the in the name. What happend is I'm transfering from an old server to a new mailman server. The list created just fine and displays just fine. It seems postfix is recieving the list name seperated as two names instead of a single name. Messages to the old list server using the list name with the in it are not a problem with postfix. But mailman must be doing or not doing something with postfix that caused the error. - Original Message Follows - While this is all true to some degree, don't overlook something even more obvious with regards to mailman, the web interface in trying to display that list name would actually be trying to display a page that takes a parameter.

Morgan Fletcher A problem that has been throughly discussed in archives sometimes goes unanswered when asked for the umpteenth time The first time that you access each list after an upgrade, Mailman will see that the list is an older 2.0 version and will automatically update the lists and the information in the list. The old config files will still be there, but now there will be new .pck configuration files that are used by Mailman 2.1. In general, you should go into each of your lists using the web-admin after an upgrade and make sure that the defaults used on that list are the ones that you want and need. Most of the problems occurring at this point are due to your not editing the new ~mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py file and adding the new sections that it expects (browse the Defaults.py file for a clue as to what you need to add to this file after the upgrade). If you don't like the upgrade defaults (and most folks don't), and you then change the defaults so that they are more to your liking, then rename the generated .pck files and let mailman regenerate them again. You can also simply go into the web-admin for the list and make any changes there. The most commonly mis-understood upgrade item is the way that virtual domains are now done. You must explicitly identify your domain and any virtual domain that you use with any list. The domain information consists of the domain name used for mail and the web-address used for the web-administration of the list.
