Flushing/syncing hyperkitty with mailman
by Eric Abrahamsen June 20, 2019

June 20, 2019

I've got mailman running on Ubuntu 14.04, with systemd service files to govern the mailman and hyperkitty qcluster processes. I notice in the systemctl status call for the qcluster command that there are a bunch of errors like: [Q] ERROR Failed [rebuild_thread_cache_votes] - Thread matching query does not exist. [Q] INFO Process-1:1 processing [rebuild_email_cache_votes] [Q] ERROR Failed [rebuild_email_cache_votes] - Email matching query does not exist. [Q] INFO Process-1:2 processing [rebuild_thread_cache_votes] [Q] ERROR Failed [rebuild_thread_cache_votes] - Thread matching query does not exist. [Q] INFO Process-1:3 processing [rebuild_email_cache_votes] [Q] ERROR Failed [rebuild_email_cache_votes] - Email matching query does not exist. [Q] INFO Process-1:4 processing [rebuild_thread_cache_votes] [Q] ERROR Failed [rebuild_thread_cache_votes] - Thread matching query does not exist. Is there something more I should be doing to sync hyperkitty's database with mailman? I've got the crontab file in place, and that appears to be running without error. Anything else? Thanks, Eric

Django error - External IP

June 20, 2019

I am seeing this error frequently: Subject: [Django] ERROR (EXTERNAL IP): Internal Server Error: /archives/list/jackrail(a)list.jackrail.org/message/new Internal Server Error: /archives/list/jackrail(a)list.jackrail.org/message/new Error at /archives/list/jackrail(a)list.jackrail.org/message/new error 14 from memcached_get(:2:User:11:subscriptions) Request Method: GET Request URL: https://list.jackrail.org/archives/list/jackrail@list.jackrail.org/message/… ... followed by many many pages of settings information, none of which is informative to me. What does this signify? I am trying to bring my list to a go live state, but this does not bode well. I can send the full diagnostic (long) if need be. Andrew

Is there a simple possibility to join a mailinglist besider writing a mail to list-join(a)example.com? I know you can register and then join a list, but thats only possible for public lists and I would like to have such a very simple webform for a specific list where you just enter your email address and then get the confirmation mail. I guess there was something like this with mailman2

Is there a way to have list archives only visible to list subscribers? Presently, they are world visible - unless I have configured my site incorrectly.

Domain owner functionality?
by Derek Lambert June 14, 2019

June 14, 2019

I noticed there's a "domain_owners" table in the mailman core database. If I add a user and domain id to this table will it grant the user owner permissions for all lists in a domain? Will they be able to create lists? Thanks! Derek

Invalid FilterAction: discard. Treating as discard
by Henrik Rasmussen June 12, 2019

June 12, 2019

Having set the Filter content to Yes - regardless of other setting in the "Alter Messages" tab, make a HTML message come out empty. I can replicate this on my test list. I have tried debugging by changing each setting one-by-one and sending the user's mail, but no change makes the mail come out with a content. However setting "Filter content" to "no" makes the mail come out okay. With "Filter content" set to "Yes", sending another HTML mail is okay, so something in the user's mail may not be right, but I wonder why setting "Filter content" to no "solves" the problem. Afte all this setting is switching all other settings on and off, so I can't just ask the user to turn it off.

Postorius performance with over 1000 pending users
by Nick W June 11, 2019

June 11, 2019

I've got a couple things I need help with: The Symptom and The Problem. The Symptom: Postorius has gotten quite slow to load, taking more than 30s to load the Subscription Requests tab. Having zero pending subscription requests (I'm on v1.2.5), I started investigating unconfirmed subscriptions. I followed the commands from here[1] and got this: mailman shell -l your.list.id util = getUtility(IPendings) print(len(list(util.find(mlist=m,pend_type='subscription')))) 1816 Wow, 1816 pending subscription requests. I can say for certain that my list is not popular so these requests must have been submitted by bots. Let's get there in The Problem. How can I "purge" this list? I'm willing to assume that none of these requests are valid and would reject all unconfirmed user requests. The Problem: How might this activity be happening? Running cat /opt/mailman/core/var/logs/mailman.log | grep POST returns a lot of 202 and 409 responses for `POST /3.1/members`. Could it be that these requests are being submitted through Postorius? I'd assume there would be some sort of honeypot input to prevent abuse. I'll continue investigating and follow up with any insight I can on the cause of The Problem. Thanks, Nick [1]: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message…>

WSGI: gunicorn and uwsgi
by andrew.bernard＠gmail.com June 9, 2019

June 9, 2019

Using the Ubuntu 19 packages for all the mailman suite, uwsgi is the Python WSGI server included. I have now switched over to a full build from current source from gitlab, following Mark Sapiro's excellent instructions. It would appear that the current code has the use of gunicorn built in. Is gunicorn the preferred way now to run the mailman Django apps? Is it worth spending time converting everything to use uwsgi, or should I go with the flow and use gunicorn? What are the advantages of gunicorn over uwsgi?
