[Mailman-Users] Mailing list server transaction history

2008-07-23 Thread Maickel Pandie
Hi Friend...

I have some research about mailman... I changed Mailman scheduling policy
form FIFO to size based. To analyzed it I need transaction history from
mailing list server that already running in the internet. I don't need
detail transaction history of your server because that is your company
secret, I just need how many email that your mailing list server received in
one day and also the size. Maybe like this:
250 email around 12 kB
10 email around 5 MB
7 email around 10 MB

Please, Help me
Thanks

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman and virtual mailhosting (postfix)

2008-07-23 Thread Jens Meyer

Hello Mark,

thank you for your further reply.

The problem are not the virtual hostnames or the advertisements of the 
listnames.

My problem is the internal handling:

Is it possible to change Mailman's internal usage (target for internal 
redirections) from @hostname.com to @mail.hostname.com (because 
@hostname.com is used for virtual emails on this server actually).


Kind regards,

 Jens

My system accepts mails for [EMAIL PROTECTED] without

redirection from mailman to [EMAIL PROTECTED] without (internal) 
postfix-warnings because the domain myserver.de is used by the virtual 
mailhosting also (see my last post).


So one solution would be to ask mailman to redirect all emails not 
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but to [EMAIL PROTECTED]



I don't think I understand what you want to do. If you want the Mailman 
list to 'advertise' itself as [EMAIL PROTECTED], all you need to 
do is change the list's host_name attribute on the General Options admin 
page to mail.myserver.de if it isn't already.


If what you are asking is for Mailman to create virtual alias map 
entries for Postfix of the form


[EMAIL PROTECTED]   listname
...

You need to set

POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['mail.myserver.de']

in mm_cfg.py instead of what you have, and then run Mailman's 
bin/genaliases to generate Mailman's data/virtual-mailman* files with 
the appropriate entries. You also need to reference this file in 
Postfix's virtual_alias_maps.


This is what I tried to say below.

Our postfix-mailserver hosts several domains (virtual mailhosting,

The primary domain myserver.de is a virtualized domain also. So 
this domain is not listed in mydestination:

--
myhostname = mail.myserver.de
mydomain   = myserver.de
myorigin   = $mydomain

mydestination = $myhostname, localhost
--

As far as I understand mailman forwards all emails to the primary 
domain (mydomain) and mailman is only working if I add $mydomain to 
mydestination.



This is the assumption of Mailman/Postfix integration.


But when doing this there are warnings from postfix that it is not 
allowed to list the domain in the virtual aliases (mysql-database) 
and in relay_domains.


Is there any possiblity to configure mailman to forward the emails 
in ./data/virtual-mailman not to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]?


My actual config is:
--
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mail.myserver.de'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'lists.myserver.de'
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/mailman/'

MTA = 'Postfix'
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['lists.myserver.de']
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
--



I don't understand your configuration. The above Mailman config items
say that lists.myserver.de is a postfix virtual domain and that
Mailman lists whose host_name is lists.myserver.de will get
virtual_mailman entries of the form

[EMAIL PROTECTED]   testliste2

(i.e. map the virtual domain address '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to
local name 'testliste2' where it will be handled by the 'testliste2:'
entry in aliases).  However, your setting of DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST =
'mail.myserver.de' says lists will be created with a host_name of
'mail.myserver.de', so no virtual_mailman entries will be created at
all.

Something is clearly wrong. From your description, I think if you change

POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['lists.myserver.de']

to

POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['mail.myserver.de']

And run Mailman's bin/genaliases, you will get what you want. I.e., you
will get virtual_mailman with entries like

[EMAIL PROTECTED]   testliste2

which will map the virtual domain list address
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to the local name 'testliste2' which
will be delivered to Mailman according to the 'testliste2' alias in
Mailman's data/aliases.

[Mailman-Users] MailMan Pending Requests not being removed.

2008-07-23 Thread Gunville, Vincent
Mailman running on RHEL4  version 2.1.5

 

Problem.  Daily email from cron lists 26000 pending requests.

You go into the GUI and there are like 10.  Clear the 10, and the GUI
lists no more pending requests.

Have run check_db and check_perms.  No errors produced.

Nothing other than normal messages in the logs.

Interesting thing is that if you run the cron job that produces the
pending requests email by hand... it lists the correct number.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks, 

 

Vincent

I do not understand your question. I think you do not understand 
Mailman's processing.


Internally, Mailman uses only the list name. Mailman doesn't do 
'internal redirections'


For incoming mail, the MTA handles mail according to its configuration, 
but ultimately, for mail destined to Mailman, pipes the mail to 
Mailman's wrapper to be posted to a list via a pipe like 
|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post listname. Only the listname is 
involved at this point. No domain is involved.


If you want mail to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to be handled as though it 
were addressed to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' you have to do that in 
Postfix, but I don't think that is your issue.


Answer these questions:

How do you want list mail to be addressed? I.e., to list@ what domain?

Is this domain a virtual domain in Postfix?

I think the answers are mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (not 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]), and yes, hostname.com is a virtual domain in 
Postfix.


If this is correct, you want something like

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'hostname.com'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'lists.hostname.com'
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/mailman/'

MTA = 'Postfix'
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['hostname.com']
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

in mm_cfg.py, and in your Postfix configuration

alias_maps = ...  hash:/path/to/mailman/data/aliases

and

virtual_alias_domains = ... hostname.com

and

virtual_alias_maps = ... hash:/path/to/mailman/data/virtual-mailman

Roberto Gherardi wrote:

I'm trying to understand your question. Perhaps this will help.

Mailman sends mail with envelope from, Sender: and Errors-To: equal to 
the listname-bounces address. Except in the case of really broken MTAs, 
bounces will be returned to this address.


If the list's bounce_processing is set to No, mail to this address is 
ignored.


If the list's bounce_processing is set to Yes, an attempt is made to 
recognize any messages to the listname-bounces address. If they are 
recognized as 'non-fatal' they are ignored. If they are recognized as 
fatal and the bouncing address is a list member, a bounce is scored for 
the member. If the address is not a member, the message is ignored.


If the message is not recognized, and the list's 
bounce_unrecognized_goes_to_list_owner is Yes, the message is forwarded 
to the list owner. if the list's bounce_unrecognized_goes_to_list_owner 
is No, the message is discarded.

Cron is saying that there are 26000 pending requests.
But when you go into the gui there are 10, or however many come in that
day.
Most of them are junk, so you remove them.

The next day cron sends and email saying there are 26010 requests.

This is happening for only one list.
The rest of the lists are working fine.

This problem comes up on the Mailman-Users list from time to time, and 
in every case for which a resolution is reported, the notice is coming 
from a different Mailman instance.


It may be that you have a unique stiuation. The fact that the number 
increments is certainly unusual but my guess is still a parallel 
installation that may also be receiving posts to this list.


Check the Received: headers in the notice to see at what host it 
originates. Then as root on that host, do


find / -name checkdbs -print
find / -name request.pck -print

To see if you can find where these messages are coming from.

You could try to move the lists/listname/request.pck file aside for 
this list in case there is some possible corruption there that's causing 
this. It's OK to just move it aside. It will be recreated.


I really doubt that there is any problem with this request.pck. If there 
were, it would show up when you run cron/checkdbs by hand.

That implies their client is misconfigured and that should be their problem

I would urge caution about paying too much attention to a vocal minority, to 
the potential detriment of the majority who aren't complaining.


Now, if this was being driven by 508 compliance for accessibility and there 
simply were no other viable options, it would be more difficult for me to

Actually, all existing clients are pretty much broken, since they
don't allow you to enforce your own CSS.  But I guess they figure that
nearly all existing users are broken, 'cause they can't write their
