[Mailman-Users] no authorisation
Hi everyone, I am a newbie here, having subscribed only this morning. We spent yesterday setting up mailman on a FC3 web server that has been running for quite some time now. Everything has been running OK, except that today I find that I have no authorisation to create new lists. I had authorisation yesterday, and the only thing I can think happened in the meantime was a system reboot. Is there something else I should look at?

[Mailman-Users] Public Archives 403 Forbidden after Upgrade to 2.1.6
I have recently upgraded to MM 2.1.6 with the HTDig integration patches. I have noticed that since this upgrade that my public archives are inaccessible, I get a 403 Forbidden Error. I am running MM2.1..6 built from the tarball, Apache 1.3.27 and Python 2.3.4. Mailamn was configured with the following commande: ./configure --prefix=/var/mailman --with- python=/usr/local/bin/python --with-cgi-gid=apache --wit h-mail-gid=mail My Apache directives are: # # Configure Mailman's CGI scripts # From Mailman Users Archive # ScriptAlias /mailman/ /var/mailman/cgi-bin/ Directory /var/mailman/cgi-bin Options -Indexes -FollowSymLinks -Includes ExecCgi AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Allow from all /Directory # # Configure the public archives # Alias /pipermail/ /var/mailman/archives/public/ Directory /var/mailman/archives/public/ Options FollowSymlinks AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Allow from all /Directory The error in my Apache log is: 67.68.49.67 - - [15/Sep/2005:07:42:18 -0500] GET /pipermail/accessd/ HTTP/1.1 403 305 - Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en- US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 (No IDN) Firefox/1.0.6 There is nothing that I can see in the MM error logs. bin/check_perms shows no errors One thing is that if I treat the archive as a private archive by going to: http://example.com/mailman/private/listname/ I can log in and access the archives. I have tried making the archive private and then making it public again and it doesn't work. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can check next. I'm at a total loss as to what could be wrong.

[Mailman-Users] Synchronizing Mailman between two servers.
Hello, Any thoughts on what is the best way to synchronize mailman databases between to linux boxes? If my alias_maps are defined the same in /etc/postfix/main.cf are the same on both hosts can I just duplicate my /usr/lib/mailman and /var/lib/mailman directories?

If the fixes are not permanent, then something is fixing them. My memory of the thread says that this happens periodically. I've now forgotten what aspect of the fix isn't permanent in your case. If it is the setgid bit, then perhaps there is a periodic nanny process which removes dangerous setgid bits. If so, there probably is a these are OK list associated with the process. Traditionally, one looked carefully at what is run by cron...in some cases that no longer suffices...for example Apple has moved much of the periodic stuff out of cron into their launchd thing.

[Mailman-Users] Lock files and withlist?
Hello. I'm working with Mailman 2.1.6 and learning about the helpful
withlist tool. Disclaimer, I'm learning more about Python and Mailman so
it's very likely, I've made a fairly simple error. I've written a couple
scripts to make changes to a number of lists (like changing a number of
list's hostname or list owner). For example:
customchange.py is located at the root installation directory of Mailman.
It contains:
# Python function to make custom changes
def customchange(m):
curlist = m.real_name
curlist = curlist.lower()
print 'Current list is: ' + curlist
if curlist.startswith('apples'):
print 'Starts with apples! Current host_name is: ' + m.host_name
print 'Changing hostname now...'
m.host_name = 'lists.newlistname.org'
m.Save()
This script is then run with withlist:
./withlist -a -l -r customchange
After preforming this, I noticed that the web interface for lists are not
accessible and that the locks directory contains at least two lock files
for every list. For example a list called 'defaultdomain' contains the
following lock files similar to this:
-rw-rw-r-- 2 adrian mailman 73 Sep 15 2005 defaultdomain.lock
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 73 Sep 15 2005
defaultdomain.lock.lists.newlistname.org.20587.0
I've also noticed that these lock files appear to be cleared out the next
day when cron/checkdbs is run at 8 AM. The locks log contains entries
such as this (I realize the dates don't match the above example but the
results are the same for all lists):
Sep 14 08:00:07 2005 (17702) defaultdomain.lock lifetime has expired,
breaking
Sep 14 08:00:07 2005 (17702) File /Users/mailman/cron/checkdbs, line

84, in main
Sep 14 08:00:07 2005 (17702) mlist = MailList.MailList(name)
Sep 14 08:00:07 2005 (17702) File /Users/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py,
line 126, in __init__

line 306, in lock

line 416, in __writelog
Sep 14 08:00:07 2005 (17702) traceback.print_stack(file=logf)
If someone could help me to understand what is happening and/or how to
avoid this from happening, I would appreciate it. Also, is there a
safe/recommended method to remove the lock files so the lists can be used
again? Thank you,
-Adrian

[Mailman-Users] List suddenly stops working
Ok, I have two domains, example1.com and example2.com. All lists I've created using example1.com seem to be working fine. I created a new list but changed the domain for that list only to be example2.com. Well, the problem is that the new list works for a while and then magically stops. I delete the list, re-add it and add the members to it and it works for a while and dies again. The maillog shows a similar pattern. I see the message come in, I see the messages to the members go out and when it stops I see the message come in and then nothing. Any idea on the problem or how to diagnose? --Tony __ Yahoo!

[Mailman-Users] [Fixed] third-level domains
I was having issues with sub domains. (Sorry, not TLD, thinko). Here's
what I did so others might be helped by this:
mm_cfg.py:
MTA = Postfix
OWNERS_CAN_DELETE_THEIR_OWN_LISTS = Yes
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['lists.domain.com','lists.domain2.com']
add_virtualhost('lists.domain.com','lists.domain.com')
add_virtualhost('lists.domain2.com','lists.domain2.com')
Defaults.py (Just lists the following, and not for all domains, just 1
entry):
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mail.domain.com'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'lists.domain.com'
That got it to work. I hope this helps someone else, I'm sure that there
may be more elegant ways to do this. If I missed the point on something,
please correct me. Thanks.
