The following is the message I keep getting. When I go to unsubscribe, it says that it is nonexistant. Can you help? How do I stop receiving this message? Mailing list membership??? However, I can't find a way to unsubscribe. Betterwaypress is no longer in existance. Can you help? From: listserver2-ow...@betterwaypress.com Subject:betterwaypress.com mailing list memberships reminder my emails to the above keep bouncing back as mail delivery failure Thank you. rm...@rochester.rr.com This is a reminder, sent out once a month, about your betterwaypress.com mailing list memberships. It includes your subscription info and how to use it to change it or unsubscribe from a list. You can visit the URLs to change your membership status or configuration, including unsubscribing, setting digest-style delivery or disabling delivery altogether (e.g., for a vacation), and so on. In addition to the URL interfaces, you can also use email to make such changes. For more info, send a message to the '-request' address of the list (for example, listserver2-requ...@betterwaypress.com) containing just the word 'help' in the message body, and an email message will be sent to you with instructions.

Mailing list membership??? However, I can't find a way to unsubscribe. Betterwaypress is no longer in existance. Can you help? Betterwaypress may no longer be in existence, but the betterwaypress.com domain registration is still valid through 21-Dec-2010. It appears to be currently hosted at lunarmania.com/lunarpages.com. There is a mailman installation at the current http://betterwaypress.com/mailman/listinfo and also at http://lunarmania.com/mailman/listinfo, but as you have discovered there appears to be no http://betterwaypress.com/mailman/listinfo/listserver2_betterwaypress.com list. There are a few possibilities. betterwaypress.com could have been previously hosted elswhere and there could still be a listserver2_betterwaypress.com list on that other server. You need to look at the Received: headers in the password reminder email you received and find out what server originated it. The other possibility is the current Mailman installation at http://betterwaypress.com/mailman/listinfo is broken and is still sending reminders for the non-existent list. Either way, you have to contact the operators of the server that is sending you these notices and you can find that server in the Received: headers of the notice. If you need help with this, you can forward the entire notice to me as an attachment so it includes the full headers, and I can tell you where it came from.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman 3.0 wishlist: imap protocol support
On Jan 31, 2010, at 10:05 PM, Karl O. Pinc wrote: As long as I'm requesting features, it'd be nice if the mailman archive was able to support access via the imap protocol. Yes, that's something I definitely want to do. I would think it would make more sense to structure the archive in such a way that any old imap server could be used rather than build imap protocol support into mailman itself, but that's not for me to say. There's no way I'm going to build (or maintain!) an imap server for Mailman. Although details should be discussed on the mailman-developers list, my plan is to provide something like the current archiver interface to allow Mailman to 'send' messages to some service that would process the messages for a particular imap server. For example, there might be an implementation of that interface for dovecot via maildir, or for whatever Twisted's imap server wants. The tricky part IMO is access control. For example, a list's imap folder should generally be world readable, except for private mailing lists, but only list and site admin should have write access to the folder. I'd also like to support a use case where list moderation could be handled through the imap interface. E.g. instead of a web page, a moderator could approve or discard messages just by moving them between imap folders for the list. -Barry signature.asc Description: PGP signature -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
[Mailman-Users] Possible Bug in 2.1.13 sync_members
I think I may have uncovered a bug in Mailman 2.1.13. I have not completed my research. I have a script that refreshes the subscriber list via: /usr/lib/mailman/bin/sync_members -w=no -g=no -d=no -a=no \ -f /etc/mailman/generated_lists/LISTNAME LISTNAME where /etc/mailman/generated_lists/LISTNAME is a file that contains a possibly updated mailing list. In that file there is a line: ssm...@example.com(XYZ, 012345, Smith, S.A. (Sam)) and after I run the sync_members, every line below this one is ignored; the e-mail addresses in those lines are unsubscribed from the list. This has happened with two lists since I installed Mailman 2.1.13 (replacing 2.1.11 - I never installed 2.1.12 in production). The third list that contains this e-mail address has a different format: ssm...@example.com(Smith, S.A. (Sam) :012345) and that list has no problems. I have not yet checked for changes in the sync_members source from 2.1.11 to 2.1.12 to 2.1.13. I am running on Ubuntu dapper with packages I built from the SourceForge source. The only patches are 1) one from Ubuntu to place files in the proper directories 2) one from Mark Sapiro to allow multiple owner addresses on /usr/sbin/newlist -- Barry S.

[Mailman-Users] Moving a list from one domain to another
Hello, I realise this is probably a FAQ, but I couldn't find anything specificly about this in the FAQ. I need to move a list from one domain to another. The domains are both hosted on the same machine so there's no need to *physically* move anything. I figure I don't need to worry about the multiple domain restrictions, as I don't expect there to be name clashes (I admin all the lists and the server). I figure I have to change the host in the list configuration, and also add the new domain to mm_cfg.py. Apart from running bin/fix_url.py, do I need to do anything else? Can I run gen_aliases to fix the aliases (using Postfix) or is it better to change them by hand?

I have not yet checked for changes in the sync_members source from 2.1.11 to 2.1.12 to 2.1.13. There are no changes in sync_members. What has changed is in 2.1.11, Mailman used its own email package (version 2.5.8) installed in Mailman's pythonlib directory. Beginning with 2.1.12, Mailman uses the email package of the installed Python which depends on version. The difference is almost certainly in email.Utils.getaddresses() which is used to parse the lines of the input into 'address' and 'display name + comment' parts. I think the problem is that the addresses ssm...@example.com(XYZ, 012345, Smith, S.A. (Sam)) and ssm...@example.com(Smith, S.A. (Sam) :012345) contain comments within comments and email.Utils.parseaddr() used by email.Utils.getaddresses() can be confused by this. However, email 4.0.1 which is in most recent Python versions parses those into name: 'XYZ, 012345, Smith, S.A. Sam', address: 'ssm...@example.com' and name: 'Smith, S.A. Sam :012345', address: 'ssm...@example.com' respectively, so that should be OK. Also email 3.0+ from python 2.4.2 gives the same result. In any case, I am surprised at the result. If sync_members finds any member addresses in the input file that appear invalid, it reports these and quits before doing anything to the list, and if it throws an exception while updating the list, it quits without saving the updated list. What's in Mailman's error log? What's in the output from sync_members? -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

You need
add_virtualhost('new.web.domain', 'new.email.domain')
in mm_cfg.py if it's not already there
Then you need to run
bin/withlist -l -r fix_url listname -u new.web.domain
That moves the list.
For Postfix, it depends on whether new.web.domain is virtual or local
and likewise the old domain.
If both old and new domains are local, you don't need to do anything
more.
If either old or new domain is virtual:
if new domain is virtual:
make sure new.email.domain is in POSTFIX_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS
in mm_cfg.py
if you don't already have data/virtual-mailman in Postfix's
virtual_alias_maps:
add it
if you don't already have new.mail.domain in Postfix's
virtual_alias_domains:
add it
run bin/genaliases
(the above is intended to be Pythonic pseudo code)
