    I had a server corrupt some data on the disks, hasn't worked right since.

    One of the users brought to my attention their mailman list errors when they want to administrate it.

    Bug in Mailman version 2.1.6

    We're sorry, we hit a bug!
    Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs.

    I tried transferring the site to another cPanel server, and the problem followed them.

    On the new server which works fine for everyone else, this transferred account can't admin their lists. I tried deleting all of their lists, and just create a new one. The new list also gave the error on the new server.

    Does anyone have any idea why this problem transferred from one server to another? Is there soemthing about the account I can look for that would cause the mailing lists feature in cPanel to not work right for this one customer only?

    I tried also running the checkdb command from mailman on the broekn lists, and it found no problems, check_perms, no problems etc. I just don't know what in their cPanel account would cause the lists to not work.

    Thanks,
    Chuck

    Now that Chuck's gotten the web interface to work again, the lists still aren't working quite right. Mail to them gets back an error as pasted below (real domain names concealed). If I create a new list via cpanel, there are no issues with sending email to it & web admin interface. Anyone have any hints as to what the issue is or how to track down what the issue is? I'd like to get it fixed without losing archives/having to restore archives if possible. Thanks.

    Running "/scripts/reinstallmailman" should take care of this issue for you. If it doesn't then log a ticket with your support provider. On some systems and update of Python is necessary (but don't casually update Python, it may cause more harm than good).

    Chuck doesn't seem to want to do this because he says it will affect the working mailman lists that are on the server for other accounts. Is this true?

    Creating a new list works perfectly fine, it's just my already existing lists that are having that wrapper bounce error. Is there some part of the mailman list creating script that could be manually run to resolve this? Or is there a way to put the older archives in after recreating the lists?

    Thanks.

    How do you reinstall python? I think that is the problem I am facing with mailman.
    See this error:

    Code:

    Fixed by downgrading to STABLE and reinstalling mailman.

    What version of Python is your server running?

    Python 2.4.2

    Has anyone else had this issue?
    Has it been fixed?

    I'm a little hesitant to move back to CURRENT.

    Fuzzy, I am seeing the exact same error as you. I am running WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.8.2-C92 with Python 2.3.4 running the CURRENT build. I'm going to try going to STABLE and see if it helps me, too.

    I opened a ticket too...and asked about going back to CURRENT. They said to wait until a patch is out.
    Good luck.

    The wrapper file doesn't exist is the forst problem I've found with this error.

    /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/mail/wrapper
    /bin/ls: /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/mail/wrapper: No such file or directory

    root@cpanel [/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/mail]# ls
    ./ ../ mailman*


    Where is this pipe to the mailman wrapper being called from, I have not found anything with wrapper in it in the /etc /etc/vfilters /etc/vdomainaliases /etc/valiases /scripts

    I checked 2 of my other cPanel servers, and there's no wrapper program in that mailman/mail directory.

    Finding out where this pipe is coming from and fixing it may take care of all the problems.

    Thanks,
    Chuck

    OK, I think I've got it figured out.

    One the old server, I believe MailMan was upgraded and the upgrade was interrupted or broken. For some reason, all of the aliases and apparently the wrapper command do not work from the old version to the new one. Something in the upgrade must have fixed the old list aliases.

    I have successfully fixed one list so far by comparing the /etc/valiases/<domain> file with the old list aliases and the new one.

    I changed /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/mail/wrapper in there to /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/mail/mailman

    I also had to change the accompanying command that follows...

    /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd

    is now

    /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/mail/mailman request

    And so on...

    I hope this helps you guys.

    Thanks,
    Chuck

    Hello, if the problem is only when a user want to administrate their pending requests, the solution is to delete the empty file /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/lists/<list>/request.pck
