Newbie Wants To Know About Multiple Lists
by Christopher Garwood 19 Dec '18

19 Dec '18

Howdy, I am new to Mailman and there are so many things I would like to know. Before I try to find out how to install and configure the software, I need to know if, how and what is required for us to set up this software to deal with more than one email list. I am working with a plan to setup a CentOS VPS on which Mailman will be hosted. The objective is to host and administrate mailing list for the 3 entities that I am directly involved with. These lists must function completely unrelated to each other including the email addresses from which the emails & news letters are sent from. If this is possible can I be given information or a link to how it can be done and what is required?

copying a question already made here last year "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." at the time Mailman 3 was in version 3.1, today we are in 3.2. is this option available?

Hyperkitty archives - new list not archived
by vaarcilal＠eafit.edu.co 12 Dec '18

Hi!! I'm running mailman 3.2 on Ubuntu server 18.04. Installed it via pip inside a conda virtual environment. I'm having problems related to hyperkitty on which I'd really appreciate some help. When I try to access the archives of a mailing list named 'test-nov' it redirects me to 'example.com/hyperkitty/list/test-nov@example.com/', where a 404 appears and a 'No archived mailing-list by that name.' message is thrown by hyperkitty.views.mlist.overview. I'm not very experienced with django, so I could have made a mistake on any configuration. I have not configured an MX for my mail server yet, so I'm able to send emails but I can't recieve emails for my lists. Is this somehow related to a misconfigurated MTA? Which logs should I take into account? Regards, Vincent.

Mailman3-Web lots of database queries
by Stefan Tatschner 10 Dec '18

10 Dec '18

Hey! I recently set up a mailman3 instance and it works quite nice. I use the debian packages from buster. After running the thing for a few days, I realized an unexpected network load (my postgres database is on a separate machine). Turning the postgres log on revealed that mailman3 constantly queries the database: [...] 2018-11-17 16:33:15.417 UTC [8304] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:15.385901+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:15.663 UTC [8305] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:15.621505+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:15.664 UTC [8306] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:15.624011+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:15.908 UTC [8308] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:15.870547+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:15.910 UTC [8307] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:15.871611+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:16.152 UTC [8310] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:16.116762+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:16.154 UTC [8309] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:16.114878+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:16.390 UTC [8311] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:16.358211+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:16.393 UTC [8312] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:16.359704+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:16.634 UTC [8313] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:16.596602+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:16.636 UTC [8314] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:16.598296+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:16.882 UTC [8315] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:16.842795+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:16.884 UTC [8316] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:16.841916+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 [...] Is this behaviour intended?

What is the difference between Mime Digest and Summary Digest in Mailman 3.2.0?
by Henrik Rasmussen 05 Dec '18

05 Dec '18

Having tried both Outlook and Gmail, there doesn't seem to be any visible difference between Mime Digest and Summary Digest. Of cause Gmail shows both index and all posts inline while Outlook shows both index and all posts as attachments, but overall the two digest types doesn't seem different from each other. Is that corrent or did I miss something? /Henrik Rasmussen

Mysql issue in django migrations

Hi, I have seen others having below problem: File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/django/db/migrations/recorder.py", line 57, in ensure_schema raise MigrationSchemaMissing("Unable to create the django_migrations table (%s)" % exc) django.db.migrations.exceptions.MigrationSchemaMissing: Unable to create the django_migrations table ((1064, "You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '(6) NOT NULL)' at line 1")) But haven’t been able to find a proper solution. It’s not a syntax problem. Can anyone help ? Best regards Peter Sørensen/University of Southern Denmark

HyperKitty/Mailman3 issues
by Florian Schulze 04 Dec '18

04 Dec '18

Hi! I tried setting up Scheduled Tasks as described in <http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-web.html#scheduled-tasks-required> but the "runjobs" command can't be found. I see the hyperkitty and mailman commands when using "help". The "qcluster" service is working. Using Django 2.1.1 and HyperKitty 1.2.1. Maybe related to that, I have two issues with archives. 1. Changing the archiving setting in the Web-UI to something else than public seems to have no effect. The already archived messages are still accessible in public. 2. Related to 1., how can I remove a list archive without affecting other lists? Regards, Florian Schulze
