This is almost certainly a Postfix problem. The feature that recognizes additional data in the mailbox name (ie, the +9cb3f11e... confirmation code) is apparently turned off. Or it's possible that your aliases are configured incorrectly so that bbmodels-confirm is not recognized as a local address. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

Re: [Mailman-Users] Problem with Installing Mailman 2.1.9 on Solaris 10
Hank, I'm still not succeeding in building Mailman. I'd like to follow another path. Can you explain why Tcl/TK don't build? The Python make install command fatals there, and doesn't complete copying some of the modules into the right places. Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The esteemed David Devereaux-Weber has said: Hank, Thanks for your help! I installed Python 2.4.4. I did receive errors that tcl and something else didn't install. Now, the Mailman install script still finds /opt/csw/lib/python2.3/distutils/dist.py:213 . Can you tell me where Python 2.4.4 puts the distutils? Dave If you built python 2.4.4 to install in /usr/local, you should have a /usr/local/lib/python2.4 directory that has the distutils in it. I assume you're building Mailman 2.1.9 from downloaded source; if not, I recommend you do that, rather than using somebody else's prebuilt source. Make sure the correct python is in your PATH. If you've already built Mailman with the /opt/csw python2.3, do a make clean, rerun configure, make, and make install on Mailman. As I've said, /opt/csw is not a Solaris 10 directory, but is used by one or more of the package prebuilders. I would do an audit on what is in that directory and pkgrm anything you don't actually need on your system. Using the Solaris release sendmail and apache works well, but I'd build Python 2.4.4 and Mailman 2.1.9 from source. The default gid for sendmail is other and for apache is nobody, for the Mailman configure script on Solaris 9/10. Hank -- David Devereaux-Weber, P.E.

[Mailman-Users] No hitches
Debian just marked Debian 4.0 (etch) as stable, so I upgrade my Debian 3.1 (sarge) colo box to Debian 4.0. Along the way, it upgraded Mailman from 2.1.5 to 2.1.9. Just wanted to let anybody else contemplating such an upgrade that it went without a hitch. The stage where it says Updating old qfiles takes rather a long time, but it eventually finishes.

[Mailman-Users] Locking mailbox files
Hi, Does Mailman need to lock Mailbox files? If so, how does it do so? My hosting company runs Mailman. I'm writing a script which modifies my mailbox files to delete old messages, and I need to be able to lock the files before I do so to stop any other process from trying to modify them at the same time. The way that Mailman does this may give me a clue how to do it...

[Mailman-Users] Privacy policy
Juno and NetZero are refusing email from my mailing list server because they think that 25 messages over the course of 3 days makes me some sort of spammer. They're refusing to whitelist me until I can provide a link to a Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

The way that Mailman does this may give me a clue how to do it... Locks are generally implemented as lock files. I.e. to lock a file named /a/b/c, attempt to create /a/b/c.lock (or some other file whose name is a function of /a/b/c). If that file doesn't already exist, you can access /a/b/c and then remove /a/b/c.lock when you have commited your changes. If it does already exist, the resource is locked by another process; you have to wait and retry. This scheme relies on every process wanting access to the resource obeying the same rules and using the same lockfile name. Fortunately, this is usually the case for Mailbox files.
