The thing I was a bit concerned about was the move from one machine to the other. Seemed to work fine though.. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but building from source can sometimes be a good way to go here. It's not very hard, and you learn more about the package you're building. This can help a lot of something goes wrong because then you don't see the program as a closed box. Plus, with complicated programs, when you build them yourself, you know exactly what options you use, which you can then document for your group. Once you've done this, then it makes moving to other machines, and maybe other distributions, easier. I know this isn't the way some people like to operate, and I often debate this with people I work with, but this approach has worked well for me, including my recent installation of Mailman. Cordially, Well Jon, I do the builds, then I install them.. :) SUSE doesn't provide latest-version packages, therefore I create them myself, and put them online for others to use if they want. -- Anders Norrbring Norrbring Consulting -- 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] How to move a list from 2.1.2

Re: [Mailman-Users] How to move a list from 2.1.2
Thanks Mark, A very easy to go by description! I was thinking in these lines, but wanted to check first. Again, thanks. Anders. Mark Sapiro skrev: Anders Norrbring wrote: I have a bunch of lists that resides on an old 2.1.2 installation.. I want to move these to a newer machine with Mailman v2.1.7. I'd like to move both lists and archives. On the mailman web site, a script called move_list is mentioned, but that script doesn't exist on any of my systems... The move_list script was for Mailman 2.0.x. It is not in Mailman 2.1.x. The process is fairly straightforward, but it is complicated a bit if the domain names for web access and/or email are different on the new machine. There are many discussions of this in the archives of this list and there is a FAQ at http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq03.004.htp but it too is out of date. The basic procedure assuming domain names change is the following: 1) move the lists/listname/ directory and contents for each list. 2) move the archives/private/listname.mbox/ directory and archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file for each list. 3) run fix_url on each list to update its host_name and hidden web_page_url attributes. fix_url runs under bin/withlist. Run bin/fix_url.py for instructions. 4) run bin/arch on each list to build the archives with correct links to the listinfo page. If domain names don't change, you can skip steps 3 and 4 and add to step 2 - move the archives/private/listname directory and it's contents for each list. You don't need to move the archives/public stuff as it is checked and created/deleted as necessary each time the list is accessed. Mailman will automatically update the list data as needed from 2.1.2 to 2.1.7 when the list is accessed. The above assumes there aren't held messages. If there are, they should be dealt with on the old machine before the move. Also, if there is the possibility of incoming posts during the move, it is a good idea to stop the MTAs to keep things from hitting Mailman during the move. -- 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

While this is theoretically possible ('all' the mailman executables
need is to be able to access the configuration files and access the
qfiles), you're basically just installing mailman on your mail server,
with extra, needless, layers of complexity.
The best way, really, to do this is to either (a) use fetchmail, or
(b) set up your real mail server to forward the appropriate mail
(i.e., the mailman messages) to the MTA on the mailman machine. (a)
will be simpler, maybe (I've never actually done that.) (b) seems like
a 'better' solution, to me.
Hmm.. Forwarding should do it I guess. The goal I'm aiming for is to
split off all webserver activity from the mail host..
I guess that's clearly doable, I think the only thing would be to set up
the Postfix on the webserver to use a subdomain for the lists, otherwise
everything would loop back to the first SMTP. At least in my theory.. :)

You could try using bin/withlist to set the value of the welcome_msg
string. As the mailman user:
$ bin/withlist -l mylist
print m.welcome_msg
m.welcome_msg = '''This is the new welcome text
... that will be prepended to the message sent to
... new subscribers.'''
m.Save()
{ctrl-d}
But I am suspicious that the encoding might be occurring on the
way out rather than the way in. Please try. :-)
I did it the way I described, I dumped the config with config_list -o and
edited the config file. Every Swedish character in the file was encoded in
a format I haven't seen before. :) The character ä was coded as \xe4 and
the ö was presented as \xf6. So I simply swapped the encoded strings for
the Swedish characters in a text editor, reloaded the config with
config_list -i and the outgoing e-mails are correct.
So, the problem should be when the texts are entered in the web page
configuration I think. Since it works fine when imported from the config
file...

[Mailman-Users] Problems after system update.
Hiya all! I just made a system update, and restored the files I had saved, /usr/lib/mailman/* and all subdirs. However, there must be something that was stored elsewhere, because now nobody can log on to the list created... Is there a way to fix this without a complete list recreation? Not even I as the admin can log on to the list's admin pages.

RE: [Mailman-Users] Annoying messages...
Thanks a lot Richard, That was exectly the problem... I had a 2.0 installation from the SuSE distribution that I installed right over with the 2.1.3 from source. After wiping out the old 2.0 via rpm and re-installation of 2.1.3, everything works perfectly well!

[Mailman-Users] Feature request..
Hiya! Would it be to much to ask for a language specific request? Both I and my users think a function to post different messages to different users depending of their language choice would be great! F.x. I run a news/info list that both English and Swedish users are hooked up to, if I write an English-only mail, that should go out to users who chose English only, and the same for Swedish, and then some feature to make messages go to both (all) if it's a multi-language message.

I see this as impossible. To the best of my knowledge, there is no definitive way to tell which language a message is written in. There is a large overlap between words in different languages, and I expect this problem to grow over time. I'd suggest that you run one list for your English users and one for your Swedish users. The sign up instructions shouild be clear which one the users should use. If you sent the confirmation instructions via an e-mail in Swedish, I would expect your English users to not reply to that e-mail. Oh well, half of my mail was lost in some way? Perhaps my Outlook Beta. However, my suggestion was to use either the first line of the mess OR a keyword in the subject line to define the language.

Hi everybody,
I hope somebody can help me out with a small problem, when accessing the
'listinfo' page, the admin address line gets wrong, it shows 'Send questions
or comments to [EMAIL PROTECTED]' where the correct address of
course should be the domain name WITHOUT the leading 'www'. I can't seem to
find the point to adjust..
My mm_cfg.py looks like this:
def _(s):
return s
add_language('en', _('English (USA)'), 'iso-8859-1')
del _
DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = 'the-server.net'
DEFAULT_URL = 'http://www.the-server.net/mailman/'
MAILMAN_OWNER = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' % DEFAULT_HOST_NAME

RE: [Mailman-Users] Define stuff per list or language?
Alright, thanks.. :)
I haven't tried it yet, I'll do it as soon as my server comes up again.
However, that's not as nice as I should prefer.. Isn't there a chance to
have separately defined messages for each list or language? That would be
really good to always have all messages, mails and web pages in the users
chosen language. With the solution you propose here, I still need to make
the outgoing e-mail a dual language one.
Later,

[Mailman-Users] Trouble in getting incoming mail right...
Hello out there! I'm absolutely fresh to mailman, and of course I'm in deep trouble.. I have the SuSE distributed v2.1.1 installed on SuSE SLOS8, based on United Linux 1.0. The mail system on the server is Postfix, Cyrus-IMAP and Cyrus-SASL and the back end is LDAP. All is well when using only the web interface, and all mails are sent out from the system just as it should. But, no incoming mail are routed to mailman, so nothing sent to it gets where it should go. I guess the problem is Cyrus in some way, but I don't know how I should be able to fix it. I can't find any documentation on this, so please help me out! Thank you!

RE: [Mailman-Users] Access problem..
Well, my preference when it comes to my 'big production' server based on SuSE's SLOX on top of United Linux 1.0 is to never compile by myself but always trust the distributions. However, this particular installation is on a beta server and I guess I'll have to go compile..
