did step 13 in the installation instructions - Create your first
mailing list. The fourth bullet is
o Check your email for a message from Mailman informing you that
your new mailing list was created.
The web page after I had clicked on "Create List" had this text:
Mailing list creation results
You have successfully created the mailing list mmtestlist1 and
notification has been sent to the list owner [EMAIL PROTECTED]
You can now:
* Visit the list's info page
* Visit the list's admin page
* Create another list
There was no mail from my mailman/postfix system. I see nothing in
/var/log/syslog
from postfix. Yesterday I did step 8 (Create a site-wide mailing list);
the last piece is
You should also subscribe yourself to the site list.
I did that, and there also was no mail from mailman/postfix.
I do see in logs/vette one line for each of my attempts:
May 08 13:43:07 2006 (16295) mailman: held subscription request
from .....
Where do I look to see what the problem might be? Thanks.
And Patrick Bogen replied:
Check your web interface, logging in with the moderator/admin
password, and approve the subscription request. Then, try re-sending a
message to the site list.
And Mark Sapiro replied:
Your held subscription requests can be approved as Patrick notes. They
are being held because Privacy options...->Subscription
rules->subscribe_policy is set to "Require approval" or "Confirm and
approve".
I approved the subscription request, and there still is no e-mail from
mailman to postfix and back to me. When I run
bin/show_qfiles qfiles/retry*
I see ten mail messages queued. There is no indication of why they
are queued, and there is no evidence from the postfix
/var/log/syslog
that the mail was even sent to postfix. In the logs directory I have
errors - one error report from a few days ago when I ran a command
before I started the qrunner
subscribe - One line for a subscription via admin approval
vette - Three lines for subscription requests held pending
approval
There are zero-length files in that logs directory
post
qrunner
smtp
smtp-failure
I have not sent any test mail to the site-wide list or to a test list
I created yesterday. If I have 10 messages queued, I assume (maybe
incorrectly) that new mail will also remain queued.
The ten pieces of queued mail are:
01) The mailing list `mailman' has just been created for you.
02) Your authorization is required for a mailing list
subscription request ...
03) Your authorization is required for a mailing list
subscription request ...
04) You are not allowed to post to this mailing list ...
(I sent a "help" e-mail to mailman at zeus.)
05) You are not allowed to post to this mailing list ...
(I sent another "help" e-mail to mailman at zeus.)
06) You are not allowed to post to this mailing list ...
(I sent another "help" e-mail to mailman at zeus.)
07) Your authorization is required for a mailing list
subscription request ...
08) The mailing list `mmtestlist1' has just been created for you.
09) Welcome to the Mailman at zeus.it.anl.gov mailing list!
10) .... has been successfully subscribed to Mailman.
Where else do I look to determine what the problem might be? Thanks.
