It sounds to me like qrunner is failing to process the queued files. Can you
test-run the cron job, exactly as it's entered, to ensure that it works?

If the queued files are in the mailman/qfiles/in directory, then I'd guess
that qrunner is unable to get to them. If they're in the
mailman/qfiles/shunt directory, then qrunner had an error processing them.
There should be something in your logs that will give you a clue about the

I successfully use mimefilter -- see the FAQ and list archives for

Please see the FAQ for how I do this under PHP:

I assume Nicolas wants a solution that only allows registered users
to post to the list using the web.  I have a similar need.

 > Might be harder to stop spammers with this one...

Exactly.  I have a simple form and a CGI written in Perl that allows
anyone to send mail as long as they know a password.  Unfortunately,
the only way for the entire list to use this is to broadcast the
password to the list (which is NOT a Good Thing(tm)).  What I would
like is a CGI that would look up the password in Mailman's user DB.
Has anyone done this?  If not, I will put on my programming hat and
learn python.

withlist changepw.py help

Hello,

I'm not a python programmer, but I can get around.  Anyway, I started to 
play with the "/bin/withlist" program to get a command-line method to 
change passwords.  My changepw.py program looks like:

import string

def changepw(mlist, addr, newpasswd):
        addr = string.lower(addr)
        if mlist.passwords.has_key(addr):
                mlist.passwords[string.lower(addr)] = newpasswd
                mlist.Save()
        else:
                print 'No address matched:', addr

and when I run it:

[mailman <at> server bin]$ ./withlist -l -r changepw list addr newpass
Loading list: list (locked)
Importing changepw ...
Running changepw.changepw() ...
Unlocking (but not saving) list: list
Finalizing

So why doesn't it save the changes to the list after the password is 
changed??

Thanks,

setting up Mailman

Morning everyone,

I just started setting up Mailman on a Debianserver using apt-get install

Can anyone tell me where I went wrong ???

*some* subscribers don't get mail

Mailman 2.0.13 / Sendmail

I've set up a Mailman list which all seems to work fine.

I subscribed myself [me <at> mydomain.tld] as the first subscriber, sent and
received a test message. Sure everything was okay I subscribed more
people using the 'auto-subscribe' feature. Those people got mail and replied.

But me <at> mydomain.tld didn't get their replies, or any mail. I subscribed
another address at mydomain.tld, unsubscribed the me <at>  address and
resubscribed it. So I now have to subscriptions to mydomain.tld. So I
should get two copies of all posts - the 'membership options' confirm my
settings.

But I don't, I only get one copy. And I don't know to which account as my
host seems to have stripped out the 'to' or 'for' line from my headers.

My maillog shows mail being sent out to all subscribers, including both
my addresses at mydomain.tld

This seems odd to me and makes me worry that not all subscribers might be
receiving mail although as far as I can see they should be.

Is there a bug or did I do something wrong/stupid?

Spaces Were Put in New List Name - How Do I Delete It

Re: Spaces Were Put in New List Name - How Do I Delete It

This comes up often enough that I think it's in the FAQ.

Basically you can delete the directories associated with the list and
that's that. The following directories are created when you create a
list:
  ~mailman/lists/≤listname>
  ~mailman/archives/private/≤listname>
  ~mailman/archives/private/≤listname>.mbox
  ~mailman/archives/public/≤listname>
  ~mailman/archives/public/≤listname>.mbox

If you delete those directories, then you have deleted the list! One of
the nice things about Mailman is its simplicity.

Good Luck!
