run_queue just hangs...

Mail man seems to be running OK now, but 'run_queue' does nothing but
hang eveytime cron runs it. I woke up this morning a 'ps' tree full of them.

I can't find and error's directly and if I run it as the mailman user (list) it
does nothing. The most I can get is this when I Ctrl-C out.

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/cron/run_queue", line 31, in ?
    OutgoingQueue.processQueue()
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/OutgoingQueue.py", line 88, in processQueue
    lock_file.lock()
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/flock.py", line 182, in lock
    time.sleep(self.sleep_interval)
KeyboardInterrupt

Eh? It's sleeping on a lock file??

smtplib

It looks like Mailman does:

    MAIL FROM:mailman-owner <at> sws1.ctd.ornl.gov

instead of:

    MAIL FROM:<mailman-owner <at> sws1.ctd.ornl.gov>

I wonder what other SMTP corners were cut.

Hi ...

this is actually a re-post of a problem I sent
earlier, but I've still haven't managed to solve
it.

I set up a demo mailman installation at my
server. Everything goes fine, I got my lists out,
subcription work OK, admin page is cool, etc.

However, the problem is my archives page. My
current archives isn't accessible with a message 
 "You don't have permission to access
/pipermail/sme/1999-May.txt.gz on this server."

The previous week's archives are ok. 

You can have a look yourself at 
http://listserv.mysmac.com/pipermail/sme/

So if anyone has a clue, SOS me!!! please :)

Thanks in advance

Feisal

Not entirely true.  If you allow locahost (127.0.0.1) to be an open
relay (which can be a totally acceptable configuration) mailman is
quite happy.

If you read further down in my mail, this problem was because
USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER = 0. It had nothing to do with it coming from localhost.

For some reason allowing 127.0.0.1 makes me warry some hole will be opened to
allow a spoof. (Call me paranoid) Infact I just changed the SMTPHOST
to my actual host name and removed the localhost allowence.

Dropped SMTP Connections

I've been getting the following errors on certain mailing lists I
manage:

May 25 15:23:21 1999 TrySMTPDelivery: Mailman.pythonlib.smtplib.SMTPServerDisconnected  /
Connection unexpectedly closed  (dequeued)

Any ideas what could be causing this and what I can do to fix it?

Oh, and before I forget, I'm running the following:

OS:      FreeBSD 3.2
MTA:     Exim 2.12
Python:  Python 1.5.2
Mailman: Mailman 1.0rc1

Thanks in advance...

archives: not splitting at correct date

I've got an archive for one of my mailing lists:

http://lists.schulte.org/pipermail/pptp-server/

The archive is supposed to branch off at the end of the month and start a
new one.

For some reason the new JUNE archive started with messages that were posted
at the end of May.

http://lists.schulte.org/pipermail/pptp-server/1999-June/thread.html
http://lists.schulte.org/pipermail/pptp-server/1999-May/thread.html

You'll see what I am referring to.

Any ideas?  Many thanks.

Did it work before? Maybe problems with standard conformance? I had such 
problems with mailman and zmailer where zmailer wasn't happy with mailman 
being sloppy.

Do you have any logs from exim?

Get rid of Apparently To?

My boss just sent out a notice to our customer list using mailman 1.0rc1
and wrote "this new list software sucks" because it included an
"apparently-to:" line for each of our customers in the header.  I had
never noticed this before because I use various unix mailers and have
most headers turned off.  He apparently uses Eudora which shows those
apparently to's by default.  Is there any way to get rid of it so that the
membership list isn't divulged every time mailman sends out a message (or
more likely did I screw something up when I configured the mailing list?)
