Beta 6

I noticed that the Mailman list is now on beta6. Just curious when it will
be released.

Thanks

Mailman 1.0b6

Ok, 1.0b6 is finally done.  I needed some info from Barry, and he sent
it this morning, then I wasn't around until a little while ago.  I'm
going to hold off about a day on a more widespread announcement, just
to make sure you guys don't find any big show-stoppers that we missed.

You can get it off the home page (http://www.list.org), or at:
ftp://list.org/pub/mailman/mailman-1.0b6.tar.gz

New in b6:

  - Archiving is (finally) back in.

  - Administrivia filter added.

  - Mail queue mechanism revamped with better concurrency control.

  - For recipients that have estmp MTAs, set delivery notification
    status so that only delivery failure notices are sent out,
    inhibiting 4 hour and N day warning notices.

  - Now expire old unconfirmed subscription requests, rather than keeping
    them forever.

  - Added proposed standard List-Id: header, and our own X-MailmanVersion
    header.                                 

  - Prevent havoc from attempts to subscribe a list to itself.  (!)

  - Refine mail command processing to prevent loops.

Re: archives

Which archives? 

This looks like a DocumentTemplate thing that shoulnd't be in there,
but it's inside an html comment, so it shouldn't really matter.

1.0b6 error

Here is the traceback from trying to call up the archives on any of my
lists:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/users/mailman/scripts/driver", line 98, in run_main
    pkg = __import__('Mailman.Cgi', globals(), locals(), [scriptname])
  File "/users/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/archives.py", line 82, in ?
    replacements[''] = GetArchiveList(list)
  File "/users/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/archives.py", line 72, in
GetArchiveList
    link = htmlformat.Link(os.path.join(list._base_archive_url, dir),
AttributeError: _base_archive_url

I upgraded from Mailman 0.95.

Also, I had to chmod 777 the logs and locks directory's to get things
to work.  Because the web server runs under www.www, it cannot write
to those directories.

Archive Issues

I have definitely found that the problems I was having come from
incompatibilities between 0.95 archiving and 1.0b6 archiving.
Archiving does have the following issues howver:

* there is no default archive page associated with a new list--no
  archive is created until the first email is sent to the list
* i have not found a meaningful way to upgrade existing archives--i
  had to do a lot of manual stuff to make my current archives even available

User management bug?

Here's a possible bug I found, on a list that has lots of users, the
Membership Management web page doesn't list everyone at once, but choses
to list chunks at a time. The problem is, I can only see the first chunk,
clicking on the next one (or any other one) will only bring me to the
first chunk.

Adding new users aren't affected (both web page or command line) but
changing user options definitely is since I can't see the options for the
users that come later in the list.

Installing

I checked the archives, and could not find the answer so I am sending it
to the list. 

I am trying to install mailman, but I get a error when I try to install
it. I was able to install Python with no problem, but get a Undefined
symbol error in the crt0.o file. If anyone has a idea on how to make this
work please let me know.

I don't have that file anywhere in my mailman installation or
distribution. Is it possible that it is an old file?
