[Mailman-Users] passwords
Hi All... I'm new to using Mailman on my websites, so I have a lot of questions. I set the option for sending monthly password reminders, thinking this sound like a good idea. Then the reminder arrived last night and lo and behold it had a different password. What's up with this? Seems funky and will be totally confusing for my users. So, I'm turning it off unless someone can explain to me why it works this way. Thanks. -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman.Errors.NotAMemberError from passwordreminder cron
I had this problem a while back. Barry tracked it down to being a user
without a password. Thanks again Barry!.
Upgrade to 2.1.2. There are patches that were rolled onto 2.1.2 to deal
with this situation a little more gracefully.
Barry also sent me the following bin/withlist function to test fo
missing passwords. Save this to ban/verify.pl then invoke it as
'bin/withlist -r verify listname' (where listname is, of course, the
name of your list). Find you user with a null password and then set one
for them you'll all fixed.
def verify(mlist):
members = {}
for m in mlist.members.keys():
members[m] = None
for m in mlist.digest_members.keys():
members[m] = None
for m, p in mlist.passwords.items():
if not members.has_key(m):
print 'password for non-member:', m
else:
members[m] = p
for m, p in members.items():
if p is None:
print 'no password for member:', m
print 'done'

[Mailman-Users] Virtual Host - adding to Mailman
Greetings, I've been through a ton of messages, the README-POSTFIX, alternate regexp approach mentioned in there, and the alternate (by Dax Kelson) mentioned in that. It's left me confused. I have had Mailman running with Postfix for a couple of years, it currently is at 2.0b3. (I will be installing 2.1.2 as soon as I send this message.) All of the lists are standard, listname@virtuoso.domainvanhorn.com mail addresses, with admin pages at that host as well. For political reasons, a customer wants their seven lists to appear only in their own domains. (cust-main@lists.customer.dom, [EMAIL PROTECTED]customer.dom, etc.), and they would like the subscriber info pages and archives to be in their domain as well. As a possible complication, it would be best if the current domain continues to work so they don't have to deal with bouncing mail while all employees update their address books. So what's my best plan? How about the best documented? Van -- -- Sign up now for Quotes of the Day, a handful of quotations on a theme delivered every morning. Enlightenment!

Re: [Mailman-Users] upgrade from 2.1beta3 to 2.1 final
Well, that was reassuring, so I ran ps aux | grep mail to dig out the syntax for mailmanctl, and stopped it with /usr/bin/python2 /home/mailman/bin/mailmanctl -s -q stop I went to /usr/scr/mailman.2.1.2 and ran the exact same commands I used last October to install 2.1b3. (Yes, I keep these things around, I hate haveing to figure them out every few months.) ./configure --with-mail-gid=99 --with-cgi-gid=99 --prefix=/home/mailman --with-python=/usr/bin/python2 make install When I restarted mailmanctl I get [EMAIL PROTECTED] templates]$ /usr/bin/python2 /home/mailman/bin/mailmanctl -s -q start Site list is missing: mailman The web interface appears to be running fine, but ps reports no mailman processes, and messages are not being processed. I realized that I was running as root when I did the install, so I did chown -R mailman:mailman * from /home/mailman, and got the same result. I then reconfigured and reinstalled. I had a couple of permission problems in foreign language template directories, didn't see any other errors, but I still come up with the same error on startup. Mailman is totally down, so if anybody has a hint I'm standing by! Van Barry A.

Re: [Mailman-Users] MySQL?
Ideally, the MySQL bridge would be an option or add-on, much like say, the htdig search tool, the Mhonarc hook, etc. Organisations such as yours would not be obliged to use it. So long as it didn't ONLY support MySQL, and supported PostgreSQL, etc. (I think cursor's would be pretty much essential) then I wouldn't complain.
