Re: [Mailman-Users] cant't create lists within the webinterface

2005-02-03 Thread Markus Darges
Thanks John!
But that was not the only problem between SELinux and mailman. With 
SELinux turned on I couldn't import a list of new members. I got the 
error that no usable temporary file could be found.
And I wasn't able to change the html sites:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File /usr/lib/mailman/scripts/driver, line 87, in run_main
   main()

John There is a possibility you may have run afoul of SELinux ...
Markus ok I disabled set selinux=0 in grub.conf and all works fine
FYI, I've created the following bug entry to track this problem.

[Mailman-Users] Discarding stripped messages and rejecting implicit declaration posts.

2005-02-03 Thread Lars Bungum
I have two Mailman lists and a problem for each.
1.  On the first messages with disallowed attachments are stripped of 
these, but not held for moderator approval.  I would like to see them 
held for such, how do I accomplish this?

2. On a different list messages that are posted either with implicit 
declarations or with to many recipients are being held for moderator 
approval.  I would like them to be discarded.  How do I do this?

I've tried to look up and down the administration interface to find the 
correct options, but can't seem to find the right mix.  On the first one 
I thought selecting filter_action discard would be of use, but this 
had no effect.  The remainder of the message was still sent to the list.

[Mailman-Users] RE: Question about Mailman feature

2005-02-03 Thread CHANG,HENRY
Hello,

I had a question about a particular Mailman feature.

There is an option that states “preserve message for site admin…”  Until
yesterday I was under the impression that this meant the messages in the
pending request queue would remain there untouched.  But I was testing it
out with this option checked and the messages are always deleted from the
pending requests page unless you select the defer option.

When they specify that a copy is kept for the site administrator do they
actually mean that the pending message is deleted from the page but saved
on the machine housing the list messages?  Is this only accessible only by
those with direct access to the hardware it's stored on and not the list
admin/mods?

Hopefully you can clarify things for me a bit.  Thank you for your time!

Re: [Mailman-Users] mailman isn't sending the posts out.

2005-02-03 Thread Samuel Gabel
Hi Bryan,

i am having more or less the same problem. I send messages to my lists,
they are given over to the wrapper/mailman. They are even archived, but
they do not get sent. Nothing in the MTA-logs. Just the bounces for the
subscribers get also filed in the smtp-failures log.
This is after a new install on SUSE OpenExchange, postfix as MTA.
I searched through the FAQ already, but i cannot find the answer.
Somehow i have the feeling it lies with the right hostname and so on,
but i am not sure.

check filter content of mailman to avoid unwanted stripping rules
check if there is in your local MTA a content manager like amavis (it
has an option to block some kind of attachment by file extension)

Try to zip word file and increase size_limit in mailman, and test again

An umbrella list is a list whose members are other lists rather than

any filters set up for content. Please help. Thx. 

you can also limit the size of a message. default is no limit afaik.
otherwise it may also be the mta with some filter (amavis e.g.) that

[Mailman-Users] Mailman on UML?

2005-02-03 Thread Todd Slater
I'd be interested in knowing if anybody is successfully using Mailman
under User Mode Linux and what sort of specs this requires. I am trying
it with 64MB RAM and have memory errors, but I'm also running Apache and
Dovecot for IMAP mail. httpd and python seem to use the most memory.
That's running on Fedora Core 2.

FAQ 1.24:
In theory, Mailman should work on any hardware/operating system that
fully supports the current version of Python (e.g., 2.3), and includes
compatible web and mail servers. This does include virtual machine
configurations.

I believe you're assumption is correct, mailman should run fine in a
virtual machine. When you say you're getting memory errors I assume you
meant you've exhausted virtual memory and swap space in your VM, if
that's correct I don't think there is much you can do aside from improve
your VM. I don't personally have any experience with UML but I can tell
you that virtualization is getting a lot of attention here of late and
the preferred technology is Xen, not UML, info on Xen can be found here:

	They're probably in the MTA queue.  Mailman has already handed 
those messages off to your mail server, and they had not yet been 
delivered.  Now they are.

	When you want to clean up the queue of a mailing list server, you 
have to take care of both the Mailman and the MTA queues.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman/VERP problems.

2005-02-03 Thread Aaron Crosman
After several months of a nicely functioning Mailman server, I opted to
enable VERP yesterday. We're running MM 2.1.4 on SuSE with exim.  Since
then most everything has worked fine, until an announcement only list of
4000 sent a message earlier this afternoon.  Of the roughly 4000
messages, about 1600 are now frozen in the exim queue.

The exim queue has lots of entries like this:
2005-02-03 12:27:31 1CwklP-0002Rm-5i =
[EMAIL PROTECTED] H=localhost (server.org)
[127.0.0.1] P=esmtp S=47504 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

T=remote_smtp: SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT
TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: host mxb.earthlink.net [207.217.125.26]: 550
[EMAIL PROTECTED] unknown
.
.
.
2005-02-03 12:27:32 1CwklP-0002S1-Rp ** [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] R=mailman_router
T=mailman_transport: 
Child process of mailman_transport transport returned 6 from command:
/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman

Resulting in the following from syslog:
Feb  3 12:27:32 list Mailman mail-wrapper: Illegal command:
bounces+namepart=domain.tld


It seems that suddenly large numbers of addresses are suddenly bouncing.
Mailman is then chocking on the bounces.  I followed the instructions
from http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html#verpin when I setup VERP.
I'm not carefully reviewing those changes to check for mistakes.

If anyone has insight into why so many addresses are suddenly bouncing,
and why mailman is chocking on the bounces I would very much appreciate
it.

The other detail worth mentioning is that several smaller lists are
continuing to function properly.  This list was transferred some time
ago from another server.  There were some minor changes I had to take
just after the migration to deal with odd settings that came in when the
lists were moved.  Everything seemed to be fine, but now I wondering if
I missed something during the move.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman on UML?

 I'd be interested in knowing if anybody is successfully using Mailman

 it with 64MB RAM and have memory errors, but I'm also running Apache and
 Dovecot for IMAP mail. httpd and python seem to use the most memory.
 That's running on Fedora Core 2.

Yes, I have it working on a UML instance with only 64mb ram, and 256mb
swap. But you do really have to watch your memory consumption with
Mailman. I've never run Dovecot (I run Courier-IMAP), but so long as
your not running anything else besides what you've mentioned (Dovecot,
Apache, and Mailman), you should be cutting it just about even. I'd
look into cutting some of the un-used modules out of Apache.

 I believe you're assumption is correct, mailman should run fine in a

 meant you've exhausted virtual memory and swap space in your VM, if
 that's correct I don't think there is much you can do aside from improve
 your VM. I don't personally have any experience with UML but I can tell
 you that virtualization is getting a lot of attention here of late and
 the preferred technology is Xen, not UML, info on Xen can be found here:

Yes, Xen is currently faster, but I've recently heard this from Jeff
Dike a couple days ago:
Also, I'm getting UML help from other people at Intel, and those
patches have started going into my tree. We're separating out the
userspace code from the kernel code in preparation for a ring 0 port
of UML.
Which I believe should put UML back in the running right alongside Xen
with no overhead.

Personally, I'm rooting for UML, but that's probably mostly because
that's what I'm currently setup with. It's come a long way, and it's
sitting pretty stable. Xen isn't nearly as mature, but I love watching
the progress of both of them. Both are really great projects.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman CGI error!!!

2005-02-03 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi All,

I'm getting the following error after I configured mailman as per
instructions. Can someone please shed light on this? I can give you
system details -- please just ask.

Many thanks,
jim


Mailman CGI error!!!
The Mailman CGI wrapper encountered a fatal error. This entry is being
stored in your syslog:

Failure to lookup via getgrgid() the group info for group id -1 that
this Mailman CGI wrapper is executing under.
This is probably due to an incorrectly configured system and is not a
Mailman problem

[Mailman-Users] Digest mode attachment URL is bad

2005-02-03 Thread Larry McMahon-Padolski
Hi,
When a user attaches a non-txt file, Mailman provides a URL pointing to  
the attachment.
This seems only to apply to digest mode.

For example:
/pipermail/test_domain.com/attachments/20050201/d8f9df80/ReneeSUMMERSCOURSESCAPP.doc
However the proper URL is:
http://www.domain.com/pipermail/test_domain.com/attachments/20050201/d8f9df80/ReneeSUMMERSCOURSESCAPP.doc
Is this the fix?

Larry

I saw a lot of people saying this is why I strip attachments.  I saw 
Stephanie's (very helpful) post, but when I checked the box she referenced 
I found it empty, as I expected.  I found that even the list owner's mod 
bit (who the virus spoofed) was set, and the list owner in turn scanned 
his own machine for virii right after this got out.  Nada.

I checked the vette log.  The message isn't even in there.  Some of the 
auto-replies to it are (i.e. message rejected, it's a virus).  And the 
message shows in the pipermail archives.

In the end, this group I'm working with has had a lot of unsubscribes as a 
result of this, and are switching to a different system that I'm not 
hosting, so I'm a bit apathetic about the whole deal.  I'm still sure 
there's something I'm missing, and if someone wanted to try and give me a 
clue as to how this happened, I've saved that day's sendmail logs, and 
I've got all the following:

Hi myself ;-)

Martin Mewes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote :

 apparently I forgot to set that I do not want double message filtered
 out, so I just want to say that the answer given to this post did the
 trick :-)

After I did PUBLIC_MBOX = Yes in mm_cfg.py and did a bin/arch --wipe 
listname afterwards I installed a new list.

Well totally empty at the beginning, but after some messages I checked 
if the mbox-download is available and there was none. Then I waited for 
the nightly runs of mailman-cron's thinking they will be enalbled then, 
but in the end I had to do this for this list again in order to have 
the mbox-download.

Bug or feature?

Hi,

Mailman 2.1.6 has a nice feature for those who can't strip attachments; 
the new spam filter 'header_filter_rules' checks attachments' headers 
recursively. So, messages which have executable attatchments can be 
held, rejected, or discarded by your configuration. Regex patten like:

content-.*name.*\.(exe|com|cmd|bat|pif|vbs|scr|zip)
can match most of the current virus messages.
Mailman 2.1.6 beta 2 can be downloaded from
http://mm.tkikuchi.net/mailman-2.1.6b2.tgz
