It’s not pretty, but works for me — pre-requisite, Mark’s very useful “non-members” script: http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/non_members

1. find who you need to work with:
   
mkdir ~/tmp/gmail && list_lists -b | while read L; do list_members ${L} | grep googlemail > ~/tmp/gmail/${L}; done

2. Zap annoucement lists from the files, remove empty files, too.
3. Let them post!
   
/var/lib/mailman/bin$ ls -1 ~/tmp/gmail | while read L; do sed 's/@googlemail.com/@gmail.com/' ~/tmp/gmail/${L} | while read X; do ./non_members --list=${L} --filter=accept --add ${X} --verbose; done; done


(nb: the path (/var/lib/mailman/bin) is from a Debian machine — Mailman installed via packages — and in my case /var/lib/mailman/bin being in
my ${PATH} — so replace those as appropriate in your cases.)

Which seems to have done the trick.

Remove the crap from old installs, in your ~/.mozilla directory. And by crap, well, I mean:

• appreg
• mozver.dat
• pluginreg.dat
• plugins/

cd .mozilla
rm -rf plugins/
rm appreg
rm mozver.dat

cd firefox/
rm -rf pluginreg.dat

Astonishingly, by removing a couple of bits of pelt, the uploads worked for the guys.

Seeing as this is my blog, and people expect me to be miserable, here’s my whine: why the fuck don’t people SEARCH THE FUCKING ARCHIVES on forums before posting a new question? I gave up, and went back to old-fashioned testing.

Oh, and I should probably plug a fairly new site I recently discovered: stackoverflow — about all I can whine about with that is that is uses OpenID…

Expect irregular updates, rants, course language, sarcasm, vitriol, and general other blogosphere crap.

Occasional brokenness may happen too
