[Mailman-Users] Mailman 2.1
Any recent timeframe on betas or final, are we still looking at the end of Q1 2002 for a final 2.1 release? I patiently await the new features, especially finally getting rid of subscriber passwords for unsubscribes. Thanks, Ben -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
[Mailman-Users] 2.1 Date Feature Question
Two questions about Mailman 2.1: 1. When is 2.1 estimated to be finished, in general is fine ie. a couple of months, 6mos. Or a year 2. Would it be possible to write in a feature to allow either the list administrator to turn off subscriber passwords for a specific list or a site administrator to disable them for the entire site. I understand the security user passwords provide, but it can be a hassle to have people emailing the list admins wanting to get off the list and either not know their password or not know they even had one. Thanks for a great product! --Ben Franske CCNA -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
[Mailman-Users] Designing a PHP interface
I know this isn't a PHP support forum, but I thought that some of you
might have some ideas for me. I'm working on a PHP front end to the
command line commands for Mailman. I've been working on this for quite a
while and can't seem to get it, must be missing something. I've tried
using the backtick, the system() and exec() functions and more, but this
just doesn't seem like it's working because the list is never created, I
haven't even gotten to the aliases part... What I'd like to do is run
the command:
/bin/su -c /home/mailman/bin/newlist $list_name $owner $passwd1 | grep
: | grep -v file:
I also need to send a \r (CR) after $passwd1 before the first grep and I
need to capture the output of it and append all that to a sendmail
aliases file. It would be nice to be able to remove the list as well it
involves running: /bin/su -c /home/mailman/bin/rmlist -a $list_name
and then removing the aliases (for that list) from the sendmail file.
PERL snippits that accomplish this are included below.
Thanks for your help! --Ben
The PERL code (for adding) is below:
sub createNewList {
if ($_[2] eq ) {
error($text{erArgs});
}
$listName = $_[0];
$adminEmail = $_[1];
$listPassword = $_[2];
#this command is a cludge, if they change the output it may
#mess the whole thing up
$commandLine = su -c '.$config{newlist_exec}. $listName
$adminEmail
$listPassword' .$config{exec_as_user}.| grep : | grep -v file:|;
#this will only add the newlist to mailman, we still need to
#add the aliases
open(RESULT, $commandLine ) || return 0;
print $text{txtAlias}.br\n;
while (RESULT) {
$line = $_;
$line =~ s/\/\/;
$line =~ s/\\n/\/;
$line =~ s/\n//;
system(echo \'$line\' $config{aliases_file} );
print $linebr;
}
close(RESULT);
system(su -c '$config{newaliases_command}' );
# system($config{newaliases_command});
}
The PERL code (for removing) is below:
sub deleteList {
if ($_[0] eq ) {
error($text{erListName});
}
$listName = $_[0];
$delArchives = $_[1];
if ($delArchives) {
$cmdLine = su -c '$config{rmlist_exec} -a $listName'
$config{exec_as_user};
} else {
$cmdLine = su -c '$config{rmlist_exec} $listName'
$config{exec_as_user};
}
open(OUTPUT, $cmdLine | )||error($text{erExecution});
while (OUTPUT) {
print $_br;
}
close(OUTPUT);
$cmdLine = cat $config{aliases_file} |grep -v $listName:| grep
-v
$listName-owner:|grep -v $listName-request:|grep -v $listName-admin:
$config{aliases_file};
#we need to backup our old alias file
system(cp $config{aliases_file} $config{aliases_file}.backup);
system($cmdLine);
system(su -c '$config{newaliases_command}'
$config{exec_as_user});
# system($config{newaliases_command});
print $text{txtBackup}.$config{aliases_file}.backup;
}

RE: [Mailman-Users] ./configure error
Where is python *supposed* to be, ie.
