HyperKitty: Thread matching query does not exist
by C. R. Oldham
Greetings,
I have an active list for which I am trying to debug some deliverability
issues. When a user tells me that folks aren't getting their postings, I
check the archives first. In this case, I am getting a traceback saying
"thread matching query does not exist" when I try to go to the HyperKitty
page for the list. How can I debug this?
I am using Mailman 3 via the Docker containers documented here:
https://asynchronous.in/docker-mailman/
The container versions appear to be 0.1.

Acceptable aliases defaults to []
by Henrik Rasmussen
* Docker-mail 0.1.1
* Mailman 3.1
* Postorius 1.1.1
* Hyperkitty 1.1.1
Minor issues:
Settings -> Message Acceptance -> Acceptable aliases has a default of [] resulting in "An error occured: [u'[]']" when saving. This fiend should be empty by default or at least accept the default when saving.
To me the description right under the Acceptable aliases field is not user friendly. It doesn't explain the purpose of the field, but is meant for the Mailman sysadmin, not the list admin who can't be expected to understand this. A much better description would be the ones used for MM2:
* http://www.list.org/mailman-admin/node23.html
* https://wiki.list.org/DOC/What%20does%20%22message%20has%20implicit%20des...
On a second note: Where I can change the field and message descriptions in MM3, like the /usr/lib/mailman/messages/[sprog]/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.po in MM2?

Only first message displayed... sometimes
by Cameron Smith
(With the hope that someone on the list can help me diagnose this problem, I’m posting a copy of the HyperKitty issue that I opened a few days ago: https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty/issues/151.)
Testing MailMan3, installed using the Docker containers 0.1.1 (with HyperKitty 1.1.1):
I have two lists with several discussions in each. The participants/comments stats for all discussions show multiple participants and multiple comments. (Note that the numbers are wrong, as discussed in #149.)
However, when I open a discussion, some of them only display the first message. Others display all messages, one displays only some, but not all, of the messages. In one case, the discussion showed the top two messages, but when a new message was added, it briefly showed and then it and the second message suddenly disappeared, leaving only the first message. In another case, the discussion only showed the top message, but then, for no apparent reason, the rest of the messages appeared.
——
I decided to start all over, removing the Docker containers and images, as well as the existing database... all gone.
With the newly created system and database, I created two new lists and three member-subscribers. I then created new threads and added several messages to the new threads. The messages came from all three of the members and were entered via email and HyperKitty. One thread was created from within HyperKitty.
All of the newly created threads are displaying the same behaviour: all of the subscribers received, via email, all of the messages, but only the first message of each thread is displayed in HyperKitty.
Suggestions for how to trace/diagnose the problem would be appreciated.

Re: Which documentation to follow for installation
by Ruben Ibanez
Hi Abhilash,
Finally we decided to install Mailman through the docker images provided by you (https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman).
The deployment was very quick, and it works flawlessly, so we will keep this solution.
On the side I will try to deploy Mailman 3 through its independent modules, just for fun :)
Many thanks!
Cheers,
R.

There are production environments running Mailman 3.1 right now if that is your
questions, see https://lists.mailman3.org. Although, I guess you already saw
that when subscribing to this list ;)

It would be helpful if you send in those errors here. It will help us debug
your problem and also improve the guide for the people using it in future.
One small problem about the configuration, off the top of my head, can cause
some problems in the "Mailman Suite Installation" Guide[1]. I have that
on my todo to fix. But, apart from that everything else should work!
[1]: http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/prodsetup.html
You would have to do some additional configuration for the web frontend to work
and for the mail servers to talk to Mailman and Frontend separately, both of
which is also mentioned in the documentation under "Configuring Mailman Core"
and "Configure Web Frontend".
Contributor's guide is not focused on deploying but just setting it up locally
to play with and modify the source itself.
> Have you tried to deploy Mailman 3.x strictly following the documentation?
I think people have used it in past to successfully deploy Mailman 3.x, but
without looking at the errors you are facing I don't have any clue as to why it
doesn't work for you!

Bounce processing
by Mark Ziranski
Hello,
I read that mailman3 supports 'bounce processing' but I do not know how
to configure it. I want to delete members automatically from a mailing
list if the delivery has failed after a certain time of attempts
because his mailbox has been removed or his mail server has been
shutdown etc. There is also the case that an users mailbox is full
(mailbox limit exceeded). Is possible to deal with this case too?
Thanks.

HyperKitty misreporting statistics
by Cameron Smith
Mailman 3, container images 0.1.1
HyperKitty 1.1.1 is showing incorrect numbers for the number of participants and the number of discussions.
(All messages referred to below were submitted in August.)
In one list, I have two threads. In one thread, I have three messages, each from a different email address, all submitted via email (as opposed to replying from within HyperKitty). The month page (clicking on “August”) of that list however, shows that thread as having one participant and no messages. Opening the list shows the same stats: “1 participants”, “0 comments”; all three messages are displayed.
The other thread in the same list also shows one participant and no messages; it has two messages in it, one submitted via email, the other submitted via HyperKitty by a different subscriber. Opening the list shows both messages.
The front page of that list shows zero participants and two discussions.
A second list also has two threads with three email-submitted messages from different addresses. The monthly stats show one thread as having one participant and one message, the other as having one participant and zero messages. The front page shows one participant and one discussion.

Users, members, accounts and subscribers
by Cameron Smith
Oh my!
In an attempt to introduce a friend to MailMan3, I had her subscribe to a couple of lists that I set up and we exchanged a few messages via the email interface.
Then I introduced her to the web interface and we were both confused when she could not log-in/sign-in and was told that her email address was not recognized.
It was only later that I realized that while she was a subscriber, she hadn’t yet signed up for an account.
What is the point of “accounts"? Why can someone become a subscriber, but not have an account?
I find the user/member/subscriber explanation at http://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/architecture.html to be very confusing.
