[Mailman-Users] Custom handler error
I am trying to implement a custom handler and referring to http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=editfile=faq04.067.htp for doing so. I insert the GLOBAL_PIPELINE.insert(GLOBAL_PIPELINE.index('Moderate'), 'MyHandler') line in mm_cfg.py and restart the qrunner as /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl restart However the handler does not get inserted in Defaults.py I am using RHEL FC7 and mailman is installed in /usr/lib and /var/lib.

Thus, nothing you do in mm_cfg.py is going to get inserted into Defaults.py. -- Brad Knowles [EMAIL PROTECTED] LinkedIn Profile: http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
[Mailman-Users] Seeking Advice on Managing Mailman Lists (Organizational side not technical)
Our government agency has 40-50 Mailman lists which have sprung up over the years as various needs arose. We have a wonderful couple of guys handling the tech side of things and each list has an owner - usually not too technical - that handles the day to day memberships, postings, inquiries, etc. We don't really have any central management of the process and face the common problems of no standards, lists that die out but no one is notified so they don't get removed, inconsistent wording or look and feel, new owners left pretty much to figure things out. Do any of you have good practices you could share about the organizational management of the lists? We don't want to go too big brother-ish, but perhaps things like: ** Form to request or deactivate a new list ** Examples of general policies every list owner should follow (not HOW to do it, but perhaps a checklist of organization requirements: each list must have a description, a footer, sample welcome message). I'm not looking to re-create the user manual. ** Do you have periodic meetings of your list owners (again, non-technical folks)? How often? We can create these things from scratch, of course. But I wanted to check with Mailman community to see if any of you have advice to share. I'm aware of the user manuals, FAQs, and this list. I did some searching for this topic, but couldn't quite hit a match. I'm interested in corresponding with some of you in similar circumstance.

[Mailman-Users] Making sure MailMan is running...
Hi Everyone... I have looked around on the web and haven't found any info that I understand about making sure that mailman is receiving and sending e- mail that is sent into it. I just had a situation where on my site (With real low volume lists) that it was not sending mail since the 11 of december... Would it be best to watch for the qrunner process and make sure that's running? Or is there a better way? I'm planning on writing this into a Widget (For all you Macintosh people out there) if I can find a good way to make sure this is up and running. Thanks for taking the time to read and post any info you have! :) -- Jason Pruim Raoset Inc.

It's not clear although you made the reference to Macintoshes above. I don't know anything about writing OS X widgets but as I've had an issue with Mailman not starting reliably under Leopard, I set up a cron job to run hourly and let me know if all the qrunners aren't there. It's pretty simple: #!/bin/sh QRUNNERS=`ps -efw | grep -v grep | grep -c Python | awk '{ print $1 }'` if [ $QRUNNERS != 9 ] ; then { echo Mailman qrunner problem | /usr/sbin/sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] } fi Note that despite the sendmail command used there, that's really Postfix as Postfix used the command sendmail (for Sendmail compatibility) as a means of injecting mail. Note also that as written, the mail message will be missing all RFC required headers but as it's going to myself, I don't care. You could, of course, do something else there to provide notification. -- Larry Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

The server in question is a Mac OS X Server 10.4.11(Tiger) server. I will definitely look into that code, and see if I could incorporate that into my widget (Writing widgets in Leopard is pretty easy if you know what you want to do!) -- Jason Pruim Raoset Inc.

Thanks for taking the time to read and post any info you have! :) I monitor 12 different mail systems (including one Mailman system) from one Unix mailer. I have a script for each mail system that, every 15 minutes, sends a mail message to the system. For Mailman, the mail is sent to a Mailman list that I have created. That list has one subscriber - the e-mail address from which the test mail originates. The mail, if Mailman is working properly, will receive the posting and then send it back to the single address. The script, after sending the mail, waits up to 10 minutes for the return mail to appear in the Unix mailbox. If the mail does not appear in 10 minutes, the script sends alert pages to the Mailman support personnel. If I start getting pages from many of the 12 mail system watch crons, I know that either there is a big networking problem or the mail system from which I send the crons is having problems. For Mailman, the return mail usually returns within 1-3 seconds. -- Barry S.
