[Mailman-Users] DEFAULT_SUBSCRIBE_POLICY

2007-04-16 Thread kalin mintchev
hi all...

i'm really tired of clients batching over the subscription confirmation:
but why?, nobody will do it and we goanna lose people?, it's to
difficult, can we do it without it?!, our list is special.., etc,
etc...

so i did change the settings in Defaults.py but it's still asking for
confirmation...  what am i doing wrong?

in the mm_cfg.py it says:

from Defaults import *

so that should take care of it if i change it in Defaults.py?!?

relevant section from Defaults.py:

#

Yes = yes = On = on = True
No = no = Off = off = False

# SUBSCRIBE POLICY
# 0 - open list (only when ALLOW_OPEN_SUBSCRIBE is set to 1) **
# 1 - confirmation required for subscribes
# 2 - admin approval required for subscribes
# 3 - both confirmation and admin approval required
#
# ** please do not choose option 0 if you are not allowing open
# subscribes (next variable)
### DEFAULT_SUBSCRIBE_POLICY = 1
DEFAULT_SUBSCRIBE_POLICY = 0

# Does this site allow completely unchecked subscriptions?
 ALLOW_OPEN_SUBSCRIBE = No
ALLOW_OPEN_SUBSCRIBE = 1  ### = i tried Yes, True, yes

 then restart the runners ..

how, if at all, can i do this per list and not for the whole site?!


thanks

Re: [Mailman-Users] join vs subscribe

2007-04-05 Thread kalin mintchev

i just got the emails - all of them at once - hours after the requests
were made...

and i'm seeing something in the maillog i haven't seen before:
timeout waiting for input from local during Draining Input

i just confirmed one. by replying. still not a member...

this has never happened before. i found this thread without a resolution
of the problem:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-July/045582.html

anyone knows how that story ended?

my mailman version is 2.1.5. it has been working fine so far except i have
to restart mailman with cron because the bounce runner crashes for some
reason...



 so then what does it mean when i sent 3 different email requests to
 subscribe to a list and nothing happens..

 the ways are: sending a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject and body 'subscribe'.
 mail log says:

 l350hXwM001076: to=|/var/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe list,
 ctladdr=[EMAIL PROTECTED] (8/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=
 00:00:01, mailer=prog, pri=30923, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent

 or in other words this is turned over to mailman.
 after A FEW HOURS this turns up in the mailman subscribe log:


 Apr 04 20:17:21 2007 (5670) list: pending [EMAIL PROTECTED]  [EMAIL 
 PROTECTED] Apr
 04 20:17:21 2007 (5670) list: pending [EMAIL PROTECTED]  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 20:17:25 2007 (5670) list: pending kalin mintchev [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 still i have not gotten the email where i'm supposed to confirm my
 subscription.

 my name is not in the queue?

 what's up with the delay?

 thanks

 They're spelled differently. Otherwise, none. listname-join is a synonym
 for listname-subscribe just as listname-leave is a synonym for
 listname-unsubscribe.

accepted.

i just get: Your message was rejected.  that's all. no explanation...

Re: [Mailman-Users] delate all bounces....

2006-06-08 Thread kalin mintchev
 I still don't know what the underlying issue is, possibly you have so
 many bounces that the bounce-events-.pck reaches some size limitation.
 What does the 'qrunner' log say about the deaths? What's in the
 'error' log.


well BounceRunner died apparently short after i restarted everything
again. from the qrunner log:

Jun 08 06:00:57 2006 (7641) BounceRunner qrunner started.

Jun 08 06:30:52 2006 (7639) Master qrunner detected subprocess exit

(pid: 8159, sig: None, sts: 1, class: BounceRunner, slice: 1/1) [restarting]
.(repeated 10 time i guess).
Jun 08 06:44:14 2006 (7639) Qrunner BounceRunner reached maximum restart
limit of 10, not restarting.



the output from the error log for the same times is a bit longer so i'm
attaching it. there are no other error log after these...

thanks...

Re: [Mailman-Users] delate all bounces....

2006-06-07 Thread kalin mintchev


 Are you talking about files in qfiles/bounces/ or files in data/ named
 bounce-events-p.pck?

the former. i don't see the BounceRunner in the mailman processes and will
start it through mailmanctl but i remember reading somewhere that that
daemon should run every 15 min?!?  by default?!

the latter are all from last year so they'll be all gone... pretty big
too

thanks

[Mailman-Users] no confirmation required?

2006-02-17 Thread kalin mintchev

 hi all...

 i have a set up of mailman that hosts a lot of email lists. recently more
and more people want to have a list but a lot of them don't want their
users to go through all the subscription-confirmation-welcome messages
process. i took off the welcome messages but not sure how to avoid the
confirmation email.
as far as i can see the options in the admin are not allowing this.
i know what is the purpose of this confirmation and why it's
implementation but no matter how many times i explain it to the list
owners they don't want it. like a few of those clients are non-profit
cancer awareness groups and a wedding dresses selling company - they just
don't want it. i'd ratter use mailman than reinventing the wheel and there
is always the option to unsubscribe

so how do i avoid the confirmation? i would like to just send an email to
the list using a form and the address in the form should be added to the
list without further processing.
i also realize that this has been discussed before but i just wanted to
update it a bit...

thanks..

[Mailman-Users] bounce-events

2005-10-24 Thread kalin mintchev

hi all...


i found (and deleted) a bunch of relatively big bounce-events-* files
under the data directory.

on line i found a  posting citing:
- your bounce queue runner isn't running
as a possible reason for why these files are piling up there.

i do have the qrunner on but which one is the bounce queue runner?!

thanks

 There may be entries in Mailman's qrunner log noting when the bounce
runner died and there may be associated error log entries that might
help  determine why.

Re: [Mailman-Users] doesn't work...

2005-09-30 Thread kalin mintchev

 Are you saying that the above returns an empty list?? How can that be?

no, no...  there are all there - about 1600 or so...  but the john guy
isn't there...
i was just mentioning that i used the withlist as one way to delete the
john guy. i was just trying to add that address and delete it a few
different ways hoping that something in the pck file would get fixed...


 It doesn't get to that unless the address is in the mlist.getMembers()
 list and also passes the mlist.isMember(addr) test which means it is
 in either the mlist.members list or the mlist.digest_members list.

that's clear. then if grep isn't finding that particular string and is not
in m.getMembers() via withlist how's getMembers() via remove_members
finding it? where does it come from?
this doesn't really matter but - does getMembers() return all (digest and
not) members?


 That doesn't mean there aren't digest_members.

right. i was unclear. there are no digest_members on this list - they
don't exist..

 That's the point about dumping the configuration with bin/config_list
and  then restoring it later. This preserves all the customization.

ok...  i'll try that...   thanks

Re: [Mailman-Users] doesn't work...

2005-09-29 Thread kalin mintchev

 Because the method which is used to remove the member is more general
 than that.

aha...  ok.


 It appears something is messed up in the lists config.pck or perhaps
 there is a transparent character or something similar in the actual
 member address.

right. but grep didn't find it either... so it's not there.


 Try:

 bin/withlist aaac
 Loading list aaac (unlocked)
 The variable `m' is the aaac MailList instance
m.getMembers()

i used that to delete the address a few times. btw - is there a list
somewhere of all the commands that can be used while running withlist?

 and see what is returned (type control-D to the next  prompt)

 Or try bin/dumpdb lists/aaac/config.pck and look at the lists

 'members':

did that earlier... john is not there

 and

 'digest_members':

there are no digests on this list...

 If possible, do this from a terminal/console that can display
 'transparent' characters.

right... that was done too...

 OTOH, since you've already blown off the membership, why not just use
 bin/config_list -o to dump the configuration, and remove, recreate the
 list, and use bin/config_list -i to reconfigure the list?

because it's heavily customized and i'm just 'kinda helping' and there was
stuff that needed to be sent 'right away'...  like 'urgent'...

thanks...

[Mailman-Users] Privacy options

2005-06-21 Thread kalin mintchev


hi all...

i just upgraded to 2.1.5...

in the 2.0  version i had before in the Privacy options there was a
setting for every single message to be approved - doesn't matter if the
member was new or not. now i can't find this...  i see that there is a way
to turn that behavior for posts per member but that means that i'd have to
do it one by one?!? can i do that for all the members at once in 2.1.5?
looked at the bin but nothing looked like it...

thanks...

Re: [Mailman-Users] member_posting_only

2005-04-19 Thread kalin mintchev

 Because they're not on the list, their posts are held for moderation,
hence the notification.

right. but..  if they are not on the list they should not be approved - i
mean the posting is allowed ONLY to members (member_posting_only) so why
is mailman holding messages for approval that's not coming from members at
all?


 I don't remember if you have an option to
 discard them in 2.0.13 - it's at least two years out of date. In 2.1.x,
you have the option of holding, rejecting, accepting or discarding posts
from non-members. Check under privacy options to see if those options
exist in 2.0. If not, then may I suggest an update ;-) ?

i expected that answer. thanks. i know. but unfortunately i do not have
the time to do it. i have other machines that run version 2.1.5. can't
move the list thought

 right. but..  if they are not on the list they should not be approved - i

 I would guess that the thinking was that since members often post from 
alternate addresses or aliases, in that case, a moderator can approve
the post and notify the member about the situation. This would be
preferable to the post being silently discarded, IMO. I don't remember
if it's a silent discard or if a rejection notice is sent to the poster
in 2.0.

thanks Dan. i disagree thought. i don't see how you'd recognize a member
of the list except by the email address. how'd you possibly know that the
email address that's in the From header on the message you are about to
approve belongs to one of that list's members if it's not on the list? ok
- unless the list is for your family members or closest friends and your
know all their alternative email addresses in 2.0 you can not even
relate names to addresses.

it just doesn't make any sense...  i mean it says 'member_posting_ONLY'

Re: [Mailman-Users] member_posting_only

2005-04-19 Thread kalin mintchev

 Yes, this means that I (or a moderator) needs to read through the
 held queue and rescue any stray messages, but it only takes a few
 minutes a day.

 I think holding questionable messages is the best default because it
 allows the list-owner to remedy the situation.  If the default was to
 discard, you might miss some gems.

 I know that a lot of folks out there are intimidated by Mailman, and
 so I try to make it easy for them.  If they make a mistake, I go ahead
 and take care of things, if I can figure out what they were trying to
 do.

i agree with most of this. this is exactly the case - a list that was set
up according to a client specifications so that they didn't have to deal
with configuration and set up but still wanted to approve the messages.
it's kind of a busy press site where information has to be revised and
approved before sending out to the list. they don't read headers. and
their problem is that specially over the weekend when the list is not
moderated it gets filled with crap. and i can understand them specially if
they have to deal with about 1 members to guess their alternative
email addresses - different companies, different countries even, etc...
just not possible...

my point was/is that the 'members_posting_only' is supposed to be for
members ONLY but it's not...

   Those messages aren't approved -- they're held.


ok, Brad. thanks. sure. they are held. held for approval. they are not
approved. true.

are they from subscribed members? some. most are not.

but the setting says members_postings_only = 'yes' (ONLY!)

ok.

but there are about 60-70% messages that come from non members. they are
held too. held for approval. or to be discarded. why?

i don't know. they are not members. they should not be held. at all.

in short the logic says: no, they should not even considered to be held
for approval. they are sent to the list by non members (spammers). the
list is restricted so that ONLY members can post. that means any post from
anybody not on the list doesn't matter - it's not important. shouldn't be
held for approval.

what is not clear in the statement members_postings_only='yes'?
'yes' or 'only'? i guess i'm hanging on only. wouldn't you?

sorry  thanks...

Re: [Mailman-Users] member_posting_only

2005-04-19 Thread kalin mintchev

 Most of those kinds of messages, on my lists, and I have over 60, are
 spam.  You can set Mailman to discard all held messages, so you won't
 ever see them.  They will also discard member posts from different
 addresses, etc., but this may be a small price to pay for not having to go
 through them.

thanks...  unfortunately the client in this case does want to approve
messages from members because they need to make sure the information is
relevant and correct. it's for a press company so fact checking is
important for them...

 I'm sorry, I don't know the answers.

 Sometimes when I've needed to debug Mailman, I've found it useful to
 put in custom logging statements.  For example, in
 /usr/lib/mailman/scripts/bounces, I'll put statements like

print  sys.stderr, _('KFF: reached here: %(listname)s')

 Then I watch /var/lib/mailman/logs/bounces, to see which of my
 statements get printed, and with what data.

 It helps to know a little Python, but you don't need to know much.

 Note the line

LogStdErr('error', 'bounces')

 at the top of the script.  The first part says to log standard error,
 the second part says which logfile to use.  Each script has a line
 like this near the top.

 Hope this helps you debug,
 -Karl

[Mailman-Users] email list into mailman list

2002-09-25 Thread Kalin Mintchev


hi all,

i had to upgrade to mailman from another list server (listar). listar uses
a text file for each list called dist that has all the email addresses
subscribed to that list to send the messages out to them. it looks like
this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
etc...
..

how can i port that list to a newly created list in mailman? i was looking
for a similar text file where mailman keeps the subscribers in the
directory of each list but there is nothing like it...
any help will be appreciated...

thanks...
