Re: [Mailman-Users] Help with Relay Spammers

2002-03-25 Thread Greg Rees


Hi Ashley,

Thank you for the reply. I've been doing some research on the relaying problem
that I have to no avail.

I have tried to verify the setup again and again but I cannot find anything
wrong, except maybe the permissions, I don't know what permissions should be
where.

Can you point me in the right direction or shed some light on somewhere to look
regarding permissions. I tend to think that we are on the right track.

Thank you

Greg

 Sendmail does _NOT_ need relay enabled for Mailman to work. We'd have a big 
 problem on our hands if that was the case.  Verify your setup again,
 specially permissions.

2002-03-04 Thread Greg Rees


Thanks Jon and Ashley, I've made the changes you recommended and I'll test to
see if it will work.. I know it should never come to that, but there has never
been a problem until now.

Thanks again

 Linuxconf is not an ideal tool for manipulating Sendmail  You should make 
 sure that you are using an up-to-date version of sendmail and then you will 
 need to setup your sendmail so that it knows all the local names that are 
 used for you mailserver.  
 After that, you can setup allowed relays via the file: /etc/mail/access.  If 
 you have problems at that point put in your ip address and the key word 
 ALLOW.  Of course Ashley is right, it should never come to that!

  Hi,
 
  I have just been bombarded with those dreaded relay spammers.  My setup is
  RedHat 6.1, Sendmail with Kmail front end, and Apache.
 
  To get Mailman-2.0.8 working on my setup, I had to enable relay control
  in Sendmail so that mailman would be able to send out messages to the list.
  Things have been working as expected with messages sent to the list and
  messages going out to the members of the list.
 
  Today I had to go into Linuxconf and to the Sendmail part to disable relay
  control, by doing this, all messages sent to the list are killed off
  because Sendmail thinks the messages are spam messages (which they really
  are) but not those dreaded relay spam messages that some people take
  enjoyment to send around.
 
  I have read most of the documentation to find no mention of this occurance,
  maybe I skipped over the part without knowing or maybe it is not mentioned
  anywhere.
 
  Does anyone know how I can get arround this problem with Sendmail or
  Mailman.
 
  TIA
 
  Greg

[Mailman-Users] Editing HTML files

2002-02-26 Thread Greg Rees


Where do I find the html files that you see when you connect to the list, not
the file that mailman offers you to edit so that the appearance of the
displayed page can be changed, dramatically.

[Mailman-Users] More problems

2002-02-20 Thread Greg Rees


When subscribers try to subscribe to the list, a confirmation message is sent
but they are not added to the list, hence when they send their confirmation
back, they are still not added and there is no welcome message sent out.

If you go to the web page as an administrator, you can add users to the list,
manually and a welcome message is sent to the new users.

When a message is sent to the list, the list doesn't sent out the message to
the subscribers list.

Yes, I ran check_perms and it reported no problems found

The /home/mailman/logs/error are clean (empty). No problems there.

 Just a question, did you run bin/check_perms to make sure all the permisions
 on the files are fine? What do the logs say? Anything in the log/errors that
 could give you a hint about what's going on?

 does your logs/subscibe show the subscribe requests?

All requests are set for PENDING

 
 if not, does your mail server log show the request mail coming in to your
 server and being accepted?

Where are the mail server logs found. 

 
 does logs/smtp show outbound mail successfully sent?

Log/smpt show everything is completed

but the logs/post show a failure

[Mailman-Users] Still having Problems

2002-02-17 Thread Greg Rees


Hi

I've just install mailman-2.0.8 on RedHat 6.1.

It seem that users can partially subscribe, that is, connect and subscribe,
receive their email in return to send confirmation, send confirmation and never
receive their welcome message.

Anyone with any ideas on what is happening.

Regards

Greg

[Mailman-Users] Mailman Setup

2002-02-14 Thread Greg Rees


I've just recently installed Mailman-2.0.8 with Python 1.5.2 on RedHat 6.1.

The installation went great until users try to subscribe.  Users can subscribe
OK via the web page but no confirmation email is sent and they are not added
to the list. The only email received by the user is an error message.
 
Any ideas on what I may have not carried out during the installation.
