 Hi,
 My organization just made the switch from Majordomo to Mailman. I am 
 most pleased with Mailman to say the least. I am, however, having one 
 problem. A user will subscribe to the list with the address 
 [EMAIL PROTECTED], but their address will actually be 
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mail sent to the expanded address (some.name) 
 will be received, but the person will be unable to post to the list 
 because the message comes from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Does that make 
 sense?

No, this doesn't make sense.  How are the users subscribing to the list? Via
e-mail or web?  It sounds to me like the user's MUA is misconfigured
- either your e-mail address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] or it's
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  You can't have it both ways - mailman should
correctly treat those as separate people since there is absolutely no way
for it to know the difference.  

If you're subscribed with some.name, then post from some.name.  If you want
to allow posting from other e-mail addresses, then configure mailman so that
non-list members are allowed to post.  If you restrict posting to list
members, then the client must be configured to post from some.name.

Actually, it makes perfect sense.  [EMAIL PROTECTED] is an alias.  SuSE
OpenExchange creates such aliases by default for users.  The simple way
around this (for the admin) is to explicitly allow [EMAIL PROTECTED] to post
to the list.  This way, you don't open the whole list up to spammers.  You
could also unsub some.user@ and then subscribe sname@  Hopefully, it would
be a rare occasion that you'd have to do this.

 The proper approach to this is to rewrite the From address on the outbound
address as well as aliasing the inbound.If the outbound e-mail is
some.user@, then all will work properly.  Allowing e-mail into the box to be
consistently different than e-mail out of the box is a misconfiguration
to me.

 There is no way for Mailman to know that the 2 addresses are equivalent
unless somebody goes in there and manuallyupdates the permissions list.

I disagree on your first point.  I don't see it as being a misconfiguration.
I see it a method of NOT exposing a username.  I have many servers with
email aliases that eventually get routed to me, but I don't have an email
account anywhere named [EMAIL PROTECTED]  That doesn't mean I can't
reply to an email sent to that address...but any reply would not come from
postmaster@

I do agree with your second statement...there is no way for Mailman to know,
which is why I said to make one of the suggested changes above.

RE: [Mailman-Users] Mailman / Sendmail horribly slowperformance..suggestions please?!?

2003-08-24 Thread Mike Kercher
This could be caused by a DNS bottleneck.  I would recommend you setup a
caching-only nameserver on your Mailman box and see if that helps.  Remember
to modify /etc/resolv.conf to add a line at the top:

nameserver 127.0.0.1

I'm currently running mailman-2.0.13-1 eith sendmail-8.11.6-25.72.  Posts 
are processed very fast, but delivery is more than slow.  It takes 1-2 
minutes per post to delivery mail.  Evaluating what is going on in the 
queue is a little more than cumbersome.  Over the course of 3-4 days mails 
have been piling up in the qfiles directory to the tune of 4000 mails and 
waiting.  There are mails 3 days old waiting to go out.  I'm looking for 
ways to evaluate what is in the queue, why it's in the queue, and how to 
tell qrunner to report more information on what it's thinking.  Like 
perhaps the msgid of the email it's trying to process at this time.

Hello I have a problem or question I suppose.  I setup my mailman using an
RPM.  It appeared to install with no issues.  The mailman.conf file is
correct and has been correctly configured to be called by httpd.conf.

The problem is that if I try to connect using
http://192.168.0.102/mailman/listinfo  I keep getting Forbidden errors.
Nothing with mailman will work.  Am I missing something or is there
something else I need to do.  Apparently it recognizes the pages or I would
get page not found errors instead.

Please give me the proper direction to head to fix this problem.

I did create a test list prior to trying to connect.  And I also tried
http://192.168.0.102/mailman/test/listinfo just to be sure and it also
produced Forbidden access error pages.

Please help.

Thanks,
Steve Smith

I cycle logs but keep a week of backlog for precisely this sort of

 mail server logs (? /var/log/maillog)
there was nothing in these logs to indicate a problem

Are you running

1. MM 2.1.x and if so have you run mailmanctl

2. MM 2.0.x and if so have you installed the mailman user crontab


 Give all that a whirl and then repost with a bit more detail,

How did you install what version of Mailman running with what 
version of Python under what operating system?

Have you followed all the instruction in the INSTALL text file in 
the
Mailman build directory and have you taken a look at:

 Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py

You can also add to the list of questions:

1. what did you add to your Apache httpd.conf

2. what URI returned the 404 response

As you initially posted to mailman-users, it is both courteous and
advisable to copy the list with your response so that other list 
members can contribute to finding a solution to your problem or learn 
about any problems you have found and possible solutions to them.

RE: [Mailman-Users] RE: Diagnosing duplicates [Was:Now MTA tweaking!]

Take a look at your maillog and grep the duplicate email address...see if your end 
actually sent the message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] more
than once.

Okay, this is a one way list, and I can't get hold of the dups. My email
didn't get any dups, so I can't check either, and I really DON'T want to
replicate it!! I'm going to assume that the problem is my end. If it's
mailman screwing up, how can I go about cleaning my list? And if it's my
MTA, how do I fix that??

Change in subject line - its a different thread...

 out what caused this?

The answer is you need to get at least 2 of the duplicates (ideally all
the duplicates that reached a single address), with the full headers -
specifically you need the received lines.

You then compare the received headers on each one and work out where the
paths of the 2 mails diverged.

This could be:-
  - the original poster sent several copies (happens quite often)
in this case you see the received lines are different
at every stage
  - the senders MTA duplicated it
(first - thats the bottom one in the message headers - received
line is exactly the same, the rest are different).
  - mailman duplicated it
(different received lines on the list delivery MTA)
  - the list delivery MTA duplicated it (subtly different)
  - someone's virus scanner reinjected it (they *must* die!!!)
  - someone's vacation mailer reinjected it (they must die and their
whole domain be blocked - actually same applies for the virus
scanner too).

There are other possibilities too... and never underestimate how
determined some idiots can be to loop your mail.

Nigel.

[Mailman-Users] Problem Upgrading to 2.1b3

2002-09-07 Thread Mike Kercher

This is the configure I ran:

./configure --prefix=/home/mailman --with-mail-gid=41 --with-cgi-id=48

No problems there, then I run make install and get the following:

Compiling /home/mailman/Mailman/htmlformat.py ...
Compiling /home/mailman/Mailman/i18n.py ...
Listing /home/mailman/Mailman/pythonlib ...
Compiling /home/mailman/Mailman/versions.py ...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File bin/update, line 47, in ?
from Mailman import MailList
  File /home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py, line 40, in ?
from email.Utils import getaddresses, formataddr, parseaddr
ImportError: cannot import name formataddr
make: *** [update] Error 1

gcc is 2.96
python is 2.2.1
RH 7.2

Anyone have any idea?  This was an attempt to upgrade from 2.0.13 non-rpm install.

Thanks!
