[Bug 682920] New: strange defaults in mailman
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=682920 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=682920#c0 Summary: strange defaults in mailman Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: jmatejek@novell.com ReportedBy: suse-beta@cboltz.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Beta-Customer Blocker: --- (partly copied from http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-November/058954.html after seeing the same problem on 11.3) I called "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/newlist mailman" to create the master mailing list. Doing so resulted in the error Bad owner email address: mailman@(unused) The openSUSE Mailman package sets DEFAULT_URL_HOST and DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST to '(unused)' in Defaults.py, which causes this problem. Please use a default without parenthesis - according to the mail I linked above, this should display the "correct" error message about an invalid list address. Of course it would be even better to have an error message that says DEFAULT_URL_HOST and DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST need to be set - but that's probably something for upstream. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

(so i'm lowering the severity to minor.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
