Bounces address spammed
by Enrique Terrazas 28 Feb '19

28 Feb '19

Greetings, I hope everyone is having a good day. We have a highly visible list that is being spammed with join requests from spoofed addresses. When the confirmation email is sent a bounce is received by the list owner. The count is in the 100’s of bounced emails/hour. We noticed they are all coming from one particular domain, this may help if we are able to filter/block the domain. What would be the best way to handle this? Is there a way to handle this granularly at the list level? Thank you as always for your assistance. Enrique

Member occur in Subscription Requests when Subscription Policy = Confirm
by Henrik Rasmussen 27 Feb '19

27 Feb '19

When Subscription Policy is set to Confirm (only), new potential subscriber appears in Subscription Requests until they have confirmed that they actually want to subscribe. As expected, the new potential subscriber receives a mail with a link to confirm. And also as expected, since moderation is NOT needed, the admin does not receive a mail about authorisation. Why does the new potential subscriber appear in Subscription Requests until confirmed by the subscriber, when the admin doesn't have to appove anyway? Is that by design? /Henrik Rasmussen

Archives visible to all
by worik 25 Feb '19

25 Feb '19

When I load my new mailing list system, before I log in, I can see the archives of all the lists. Without logging in. Even lists with archives set to private archives. What can I do about that? Worik -- If not me then who? If not now then when? If not here then where? So, here I stand, I can do no other root(a)worik.org 021-1680650, (03) 4821804 Aotearoa (New Zealand)

Is logging.subscribe working in /etc/mailman.cfg?
by ktso＠cuhk.edu.hk 25 Feb '19

25 Feb '19

I have put the following in /etc/mailman.cfg and restart mailman. An empty file can be created but nothing can be logged when admin or non-member subscribe/unsubscribe. Anything I have missed? So far I can only see log appear in mailman.log and smtp.log. Thanks. [logging.subscribe] path: subscribe.log level: debug

Changing delivery mode for ALL subscribers on a SINGLE list using REST
by Henrik Rasmussen 25 Feb '19

25 Feb '19

While in Mailman Settings a user can change delivery mode for either Global (all subscriptions regardless of address or list), Address based (regardless of list name) or List Based (regardless of address). The list admin can change a user's delivery mode setting on a single list (affecting only that address and only that list), but only one subscriber at the time on the list. Changing a user's delivery mode can also be done using REST[1], but I asume this will affect the user's subscription on all the lists where she subscribed using the same address. How do I change ALL the subscribers[2] on a _single list_ to a certain delivery mode, using REST? [1] https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/rest/docs/preferences.… [2] Most likely by iterating through all subscribers, one at the time, on the list in question.

Tracking from gravatar
by worik 19 Feb '19

19 Feb '19

Privacy badger reports one tracker (for which it disables cookies) on my Mailman installation. It is: secure.gravatar.com What is this for and how do I get rid of it? I looked at the site and it seems like some sort of take a avatar any where. I do not want that on the lists I am managing for this group of users. cheers Worik -- If not me then who?

Turn off social logins?
by worik 18 Feb '19

How do I turn off the social logins? I looked in the admin manual but They are not working, but I absolutely do not want them for now. Maybe one day, but my users will be allergic to even the hint.... Worik -- If not me then who? If not now then when? If not here then where?

hyperkitty failed to create a thread
by Danil Smirnov 17 Feb '19

17 Feb '19

Hi all, What could be a reason of HyperKitty failing to create a thread from chained emails? For example, see "RECENTLY ACTIVE DISCUSSIONS" on page https://wlug.mailman3.com/hyperkitty/list/wlug@lists.wlug.org/ "Openvpn and Network mapping" discussion displayed as five threads instead of only one... Any ideas how to improve HyperKitty ability to detect threaded messages? With my best regards, Danil Smirnov

Logging of unsubscribe process
by Johannes Winter 16 Feb '19

16 Feb '19

Dear MM3 list, I was wondering whether the unsubscribe process is logged. One user accidentally hit "unsubscribe all" aborted the process but is now unsure whether he accidentally deleted users. Is there a easy way to check? Best regards, Johannes Winter

15 Feb '19

Dear MM3 list, A address with false syntax got added accidentally to one of our lists. The smtp server now rejects the mail with the following error codes found in mailman.log: Feb 15 11:36:55 2019 (34) <bbd7a3da-32e7-ad12-4b5b-e250b3447639(a)domain.tld> recipients refused: {'l3s3105p7(a)91.55.218.102': (401, b'4.1.3 Bad recipient address syntax')} Feb 15 11:36:55 2019 (34) <bbd7a3da-32e7-ad12-4b5b-e250b3447639(a)domain.tld> smtp to xxx(a)yyy.com for 1 recips, completed in 0.031468868255615234 seconds Feb 15 11:36:55 2019 (34) <bbd7a3da-32e7-ad12-4b5b-e250b3447639(a)domain.tld> post to list from address(a)domain.tld, 767768 bytes, 1 failures Feb 15 11:36:55 2019 (34) <bbd7a3da-32e7-ad12-4b5b-e250b3447639(a)domain.tld> delivery to l3s3105p7(a)91.55.218.102 failed with code 401, b'4.1.3 Bad recipient address syntax' How to remove this mails from the queue? Removing the address from the list doesn't help. Best regards, Johannes Winter
