[Mailman-Users] Mailman and virtual domains
We have 2 domains, foo.com and bar.com, that are physically hosted on the same machine. We'd like foo.com/mailman and bar.com/mailman to list completely separate lists; we'd like people who email [EMAIL PROTECTED] to get a little note at the bottom of their emails saying that if they want to unsubscribe, they should visit foo.com/listinfo/listname, whereas bar.com users get a note in their messages that points to bar.com. Is there any way to do this other than installing two separate copies of mailman? I.e., does mailman do virtual hosts? (Obviously my MTA handles its own virtual hosts, but I'm talking about virtual hosts for mailman-specific functions.) -- Stephen R.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman shuts down silently under FreeBSD
I'm running Mailman out of FreeBSD's 'ports' collection, and for some reason qrunner shuts down silently every now and again. Today, for instance, I created a mailing list through the Mailman command-line interface, then tried to send that list a test message. Nothing arrived at the subscribers' mailboxes. Having noticed this behavior before, I restarted qrunner via /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mailman.sh start It restarted, and the queue cleared; all the messages that should have been delivered were delivered. The machine hasn't restarted; 'uptime' on that end reads 2:58PM up 21 days, 12:43, 0 users, load averages: 1.98, 2.10, 1.99 So can anyone think of why qrunner would have shut down?

[Mailman-Users] Apache errors causing user-management problems
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I've recently had some Apache problems, which started when I encountered this bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=155939repeatmerged=yes I used the hack that they mentioned at the bottom of that bug, then upgraded to the latest unstable build of Apache when it came out. This fixed Apache, which I can now use to load my Website (http://www.laniels.org/ , if you want to confirm it). At least one problem is left: I'm having troubles now subscribing new members to my lists. When I try to do that, I get the mailman message that we've hit a bug; when I look in the error log, the following looks like the relevant error: admin(5271): [- Mailman Version: 2.0.12 -] admin(5271): [- Traceback --] admin(5271): Traceback (most recent call last): admin(5271): File /var/lib/mailman/scripts/driver, line 98, in run_main admin(5271): main() admin(5271): File /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py, line 154, in main admin(5271): ChangeOptions(mlist, category, cgidata, doc) admin(5271): File /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py, line 899, in ChangeOptions admin(5271): digest, send_welcome_msg) admin(5271): File /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py, line 1097, in ApprovedAddMembers admin(5271): Utils.ValidateEmail(name) admin(5271): File /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Utils.py, line 160, in ValidateEmail admin(5271): realname,str = rfc822.parseaddress(str) admin(5271): AttributeError: 'rfc822' module has no attribute 'parseaddress' I think the problem is that somewhere along the line, I downgraded libc6 back to an earlier version to fix my Apache problems, and apt *removed* some of my packages; I must have keyed too quickly through apt-get when it did this. I think it probably removed some package that's important to mailman. I tried reinstalling mailman (apt-get install --reinstall mailman), and apt did as I said. I still get the same problems, though; I still can't subscribe new members. Any idea what might be the problem? It looks like the rfc822 module got downgraded, or removed, or something. But a quick scan through apt-cache doesn't show any package where rfc822 and python appear together. Might this be the problem?

Hi folks, Thanks for your help. It turns out that I needed to make user mailman a member of group list, and I needed to give the list group write permissions on the mailman locks directory. Once I did that, all was fixed. Then I had a problem accessing the list archives, but that was easy: I needed to force Apache to follow symlinks. Once I did that, again all was well.
