[Mailman-Users] changing config.pck values? (I'm in a pickle)
I've been using mailman for a few years to manage a couple mailing lists, but I just now subscribed to this list. Over the weekend I moved my lists from one server to another. The process was fairly painless ... I just packed up the archives and lists directories and copied those over to a new server. I even upgraded from 2.1.5 to 2.1.6 at the same time. And the lists are functioning great in the new location but for one thing. The new server is configured using Plesk, and Plesk sets up the mailman admin pages on http://lists.mydomain.xyz On my old server I'd done it all myself, and they were set up on http://mydomain.xyz This means the config.pck file from my old server has this value: 'web_page_url': 'http://healership.com/mailman/', Whereas the config.pck file generated on my new server has this value: 'web_page_url': 'http://lists.healership.com/mailman/', I want to use the old config.pck because that's the one that has all my members and other settings. It looks to me that all I have to do is change the web_page_url value. One can easily dump the .pck file using this dump command, but I don't know how to "undump" it. I searched in the archives and found this answer: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2002-May/020222.html But the bin/move_list script doesn't exist. So, as that guy asked 3 yrs ago, how the heck do you undump one of these .pck files??? Oh, and I know nothing about Python ... so when the usage message for the dump command says it dumps a "python pickle" that doesn't tell me anything, and only makes me think of the old Arlo Guthrie song about "I don't wanna die, I just wanna ride my motorcy-le" ... Maybe there's something in python to deal with them pickle things, but I sure as heck don't know what it would be. - David Herron -- 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=show&file=faq01.027.htp
Re: [Mailman-Users] mailer error 1
Thanks to Jon Carnes I got on the right track. I wanted to send it back to the list for the public record. It was an smrsh problem as he suggested. Turns out there's an old version of mailman already installed on the system, and the symlink pointed to that old version. Further steps I had to take was: a) Change the aliases entries to be |mailman command list-name rather than the full path to the mailman command b) Then rerun ./configure with --with-mail-gid=mail The latter because then I *finally* got the expected incorrect group error that then told me which group ID to run under. Maybe I'll switch to exim... I despise sendmail anyway.

[Mailman-Users] mailer error 1
Hi, I'm just setting up mailman (2.1.3) for the first time and have a stumper that doesn't seem to be covered by the documentation, nor the discussion in this group. *) I can send mail to users on the system (RH9 w/ Sendmail) *) I have A and MX records pointing at the host in question *) If I execute, as user mailmain, /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post list-name and enter an email message by hand, it posts just fine. I've attached a sample bounce message. In the INSTALL doc it mentions a possibility that the group ID is wrong when the "mailman post" command is being executed. And, if I execute the same command as root it fails telling me to run it as the right group. However, in the INSTALL doc it mentions an explicit error message which is sent to syslog, but this message is not seen. Instead I get the following (in my syslog, "mail.*" is directed to /var/log/maillog): Jan 1 19:36:38 java sendmail[11845]: i01Jabrg011845: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=580, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, proto=SMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=pi.pair.com [209.68.1.29] Jan 1 19:36:39 java sendmail[11846]: i01Jabrg011845: to="|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post try", ctladdr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (8/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=prog, pri=30758, dsn=5.3.0, stat=unknown mailer error 1 Jan 1 19:36:39 java sendmail[11846]: i01Jabrg011845: i01Jadrg011846: DSN: unknown mailer error 1 Jan 1 19:36:39 java sendmail[11846]: i01Jadrg011846: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=31782, relay=pi.pair.com. [209.68.1.29], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (ok 1072985799 qp 92593) The lines are wrapped to make for easier reading. When I ran configure, I didn't specify any options as the defaults looked right for what I understood the system to require. Obviously there's a sensitivity to which group ID is used to invoke the mailman script. How do I determine which ID is being used when sendmail hands off to mailman? - DavidFrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jan 1 15:01:26 2004 Date: Thu, 1 Jan 2004 19:36:39 GMT From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Returned mail: see transcript for details The original message was received at Thu, 1 Jan 2004 19:36:38 GMT from pi.pair.com [209.68.1.29] - The following addresses had permanent fatal errors - "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post try" (reason: 1) (expanded from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) - Transcript of session follows - post script, list not found: try 554 5.3.0 unknown mailer error 1 [ Part 2: "Delivery Status" ] Reporting-MTA: dns; java.7gen.com Received-From-MTA: DNS; pi.pair.com Arrival-Date: Thu, 1 Jan 2004 19:36:38 GMT Final-Recipient: RFC822; [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Actual-Recipient: X-Unix; |/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post try Action: failed Status: 5.0.0 Diagnostic-Code: X-Unix; 1 Last-Attempt-Date: Thu, 1 Jan 2004 19:36:39 GMT [ Part 3: "Included Message" ] Date: Thu, 1 Jan 2004 14:36:37 -0500 (EST) From: David Herron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web site creation and hosting assistance available for spiritual healers and teachers.
