Re: searching list archives

Replacing cPanel's Mailman is probably tricky, and if you actually have
lists of the same name in more than one domain, that's not supported in
standard GNU Mailman.

I think the indexing/htdig patches would port fairly easily to cPanel,
but the only way to know is to try.

Re: searching list archives

Hello,
Thanks for your response!  The only issue here is that my mailman 
install is running under cpanel.  Is it possible to apply these patches 
to a cpanel modified mailman install?  If not, is my only alternative to 
replace cpanel's provided mailman version?
I have access to root on the server.

Your localhost is connecting via IPv6.

sending a notice to the list moderators and Postfix won't relay to those

I assume this is really mm_cfg.py, but I don't think any of it is

uerj.br is not a local domain and the originating server is not in what

There are various ways to fix this.

1) add either localhost or ::1 to mynetworks.

problems with the first (old) system and it is running ok.

 

 

           At the second system we
have installed and configurated Mailman and Postfix. Also, we

Re: moving archives before migration

Mark Sapiro — 2013-05-24T21:43:03


You don't need to move the entire archive. You probably need to rebuild
the archives on the new server anyway to fix things like links to
scrubbed attachments, so with one important exception, all you need are
the archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox files which are used to
rebuild the archives on the new server with 'bin/arch --wipe'.

The exception is if any lists have scrub_nondigest = Yes, any
attachments were scrubbed during incoming message processing and are not
in the LISTNAME.mbox file. Thus, for those lists if any the
archives/private/LISTNAME/attachments directory needs to be moved and
some process run to fix the links in archived messages.




I think this could work and as I say above, at most you only need to
ultimately move the LISTNAME.mbox files and maybe some attachments/
directories.




Presumably, you're OK with not having archives for the time the move takes.

Here's what I'd do.

1) Put ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX = 1 in mm_cfg.py on the old server and restart
Mailman and don't forget to

moving archives before migration

Jason Fayre — 2013-05-24T18:10:14

Hello,
I am in the process of migrating data from a server to a new vps. The 
server is hosting around 200 lists.  The mail archives on this server 
are around 30GB.
The only way I can get the data to the new server is over the internet.  
Due to the speed of the DSL link (700k upload), I need to turn off the 
mail server in order to migrate data at any sort of reasonable speed.
What I would like to do is move the list archives out of the mailman 
directory temporarily while we migrate everything else over.  Then, once 
we have the new server set up, move the archives.
cPanel is doing the migration, and they cannot selectively exclude 
directories.  They need to move the account with the mailing lists as 
one package.
If this makes any sort of sense, can someone point me in the right 
direction on how we might accomplish this.  If we can't do the archives 
later, I'm going to need to have the mail server down for about a week 
while the data moves over.  I'm trying to avoid this, since some of our 
lists are

External web access problems

Donny Brooks — 2013-05-23T12:58:46

I have setup mailman on my centos 6.3 server using yum. Everything was working with the exception of external web access due to the way our agency has to go through the state firewall. So in order to have the ability for people to subscribe/unsubscribe themselves I have set it up with a proxypass statement on our web server being that it already had http(s) access. Accessing the site works now on the inside and outside. However it is still trying to go to the mail servers URL which is only accessible via http inside our network. I got to looking at the mm_cfg.py file and noteiced I had the URLs backwards:

DEFAULT_URL_HOST   = 'mail.mdah.state.ms.us'
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mdah.state.ms.us'

so I changed them around and restarted the mailman service. Now when I go to create a new list on the web interface, internally or externally, I get the error: 

Error: Unknon virtual host: mail.mdah.state.ms.us.

I have to change it back to the original for it to work and then it only works internally. When any subscribe

Re: anonymous_list not working

Is there a 'post to LISTNAME from SENDER anonymized' entry in Mailman's

Does 'bin/dumpdb lists/LISTNAME/config.pck | grep -A20 pipeline' show

anonymous_list not working

Sebastian Lillo - Yahoo — 2013-05-22T00:31:51

Hi, I'm migrating from:

mailman        1:2.1.12-2ubun 

postfix        2.6.5-3


to

mailman           1:2.1.14-3ubuntu0 

sendmail          8.14.4-2ubuntu2    


and I'm having problems configuring the anonymous_list. I have that flag on, and reply-to-address set, but the message still shows the actual sender's address instead. It worked ok in the old environment. Any clues ??

Thanks in advance.

Joomla 2.5 bridge for Mailman

Jurgen Gaeremyn — 2013-05-21T20:01:32

Hey,

I'm having a Joomla component being developed to interface between the
Joomla membership list and the Mailman subscriber list (using docman for
the extra fields). If it's done, I'm going to GNU/GPL (v3) it.

I expect it to be ready somewhere halfway next week. I'm looking for a few
sets of eyes to look into the code and to catch possible bugs. Anyone in
here already working with Joomla 2.5 and/or interested in looking into the
code?

Please send me a note and I'll shoot you a mail and the installer as soon
as I get it.

Grtz,
Jurgen.

Re: SMTP problem after recovering from disk full, clues?

Mark Sapiro — 2013-05-20T20:20:06



Possibly you had previously set

SMTPHOST = 'localhost.localdomain'

or something similar in mm_cfg.py, and this got dropped reverting to the
Defaults.py

SMTPHOST = 'localhost'

Re: SMTP problem after recovering from disk full, clues?

David Josephson — 2013-05-20T19:41:12

Thank you. /etc/hosts contained a line

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain

Previously that was enough for Mailman. Adding 'localhost' on that line 
fixed the problem. What would have changed to cause this?

searching list archives

Jason Fayre — 2013-05-20T18:44:59

Hi,
Wondering if someone can point me in the right direction.  I am trying 
to set up a system to allow searching of individual list archives, as 
well as a global search.  I currently have this set up with swish-e.  
However, I would like something that will automatically create the 
indexes and config files for a list as it is created.  Is there any sort 
of turnkey solution for this?

Yes, but read the FAQs and do some of the tests outlined therein and in

Re: SMTP problem after recovering from disk full, clues?

David Josephson — 2013-05-20T18:05:39

Yes... but nothing changed on the server in /etc ... it worked fine a 
couple of days ago, then there was a disk full, now it doesn't. Nothing 
has changed in /etc for several months, and regular mail client works.

This issue can have several different underlying causes including things
like permissions on /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf. See the FAQs at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/-IA9> and <http://wiki.list.org/x/AoE9> and some
posts linked therefrom for various tests and debugging techniques you
can use to help find the cause.

Maildir delivery to Mailman is experimental and rarely used. It is not
related to the OP's problem anyway, as in his case, messages are being
processed through the pipeline, and it is only the final SMTP delivery
in OutgoingRunner that's failing.
