maintenance (bounce etc)

the mlmmj-maintd daemon is run every 5 minutes to handle all the maintenance via crontab

crontabs

$ cat /usr/local/etc/cron.d/mlmmj
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
*/5     *       *       *       *       mailman /usr/local/mlmmj/bin/webarchives.sh
*/2     *       *       *       *       mailman /usr/local/mlmmj/bin/mlsubscriptions.sh
*/5     *       *       *       *       mailman /usr/local/bin/mlmmj-maintd -F -d /usr/local/mlmmj/lists

archives

Archives are run via hypermail if a mailing lists have at its root directory a file named noarchive, then the incremental upgrade will stop running The configuration is done in hmrc

/usr/local/etc/hmrc

folder_by_date = "%Y-%B"
usegdbm = "1"
indextable = "0"
reverse = "1"
reverse_folders = 1
describe_folder = "%B %Y"
require_msgids = 0
discard_dup_msgids = 0
gmtime = 1
monthly_index = 1
message_pattern = %.6d
file_by_thread = true
href_detection = true
thrdlevels = 2
monthly_index = 1
yearly_index = 1
thread_file_depth = 1
append=1

ihtmlheaderfile=        /usr/local/etc/hypermail/index-header.hyp
mhtmlheaderfile=        /usr/local/etc/hypermail/msg-header.hyp
ihtmlfooterfile=        /usr/local/etc/hypermail/index-footer.hyp
mhtmlfooterfile=        /usr/local/etc/hypermail/msg-footer.hyp

Regenerating from scratch the archives

Do this as user mailman

$ hypermail -c /usr/local/etc/hmrc -o append=0 -a "/index" -m /usr/local/mlmmj/mboxes/freebsd-test.mbox -l "freebsd-test: Test posting area" -u -x -d /usr/local/mlmmj/webarchive/freebsd-test

Incremental updates

The incremental updates are performed by crontab via the webarchives.sh script

It will take all untreated files from /usr/local/mlmmj/lists/ml/archive and pass them through mexport (from the mblaze package) to generate a mbox formatted output which will be piped to hypermail

The untreated files are the files which filename is a number higer then the last number recorded in the lastindex file

As a result the mbox of the mailing will be prepended with the new mails and the html archives updated

The script runs every 5 minutes

mlmmj-webview

Small CGI to handle subscription and links to archive It should run as user ***nobody***

It takes /usr/local/mlmmj/list as an entry file to determine what it should show to the user

The subscription will be written in files in /var/spool/mlmmj-webview/subscribe The unsubscription will be written in files in /var/spool/mlmmj-webview/unscubsribe

a crontab will every 2 minutes look at new (un)subscriptions here and dedup them and proceed The script being /usr/local/mlmmj/bin/mlsubscriptions.sh
