Trying to configure a list (hosted)

Is there a how to on how to configure a list? For example, using a hosted option, I see this menu: Subscription requests Held messages Users Templates Settings Mass operations Banned addresses Header filters And cling on settings, for example. I have already removed my list from the list of lists on the server since I want my website users to only see my list. They can either do that here https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/postorius/lists/discuss.list.tokyoprogres… or here https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/accounts/signup/ I actually do not WANT people to join without being able to use the web interface because it is intended to be a discussion list. So the option to subscribe without creating an account. is confusing to me, which is why I prefer the latter. BUT...using a test of signing up myself (using 3 other email addresses I have), some using the subscription option and some using the bottom one (no account), all the email addresses end up in my members list and non end up in my non members list. (So I am wondering what a non member is. I had thought it was someone who signed up without registering (just name, no password), but if so i wonder why all 3 of my addresses end up in the members place. Lastly, I want to configure it as a discussion list. However, I do not see that option, which was clear in MAILMAN 2. (And I understand that if someone registers without making an account, I cannot set them myself to have an account enabling them to see the archives and post from the web? If it IS possible, that would be great, because the purpose of the archives in my case is to enable better discussions than if one has only to refer to their past emails.) That is about it for now, but I am stuck on this right now and a user manual for non techie people, if it exists, would be nice. I see one for list members but not administrators. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place? Thanks paul

I have subscribed to the following rss feeds to keep track of updates: https://libraries.io/pypi/mailman/versions.atom https://libraries.io/pypi/mailman-hyperkitty/versions.atom https://libraries.io/pypi/HyperKitty/versions.atom https://libraries.io/pypi/postorius/versions.atom https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-suite/commits/master?feed_token=yitiVdhX… but none of them was updated for half a year, is that actually the status? No current releases or updates for mailman3?

Status of hosting options after a year for non techies
by paul＠arenson.org 26 Aug '19

26 Aug '19

Hi all This is Paul Arenson in Japan. I temporarily dropped off the list year ago when it was clear there was no Cpanel Solution forthcoming. I thought I would check in again. I used to be on CPanel and I was advised it might be a wait. 1) I am now on Plesk. I heard Plesk might allow Docker and installation may be possible. Am I misinformed or a possibility? --->Assuming no, I guess jump to question 4. 2) Assuming yes, I see a list of people who can possibly help install. https://wiki.list.org/COM/Mailman%20consulting%20services Only a few people on it. Has anyone used any or can recommend someone. 3) There is also a Python list, but before I submit a request, is this something that works on general. For example, when a new version or bug release comes up, will I need to call on the person or persons again? Is it still better to wait? 4) Hosting services: Only a few listed at https://wiki.list.org/COM/Mailman%20hosting%20services are or Mailman 3. Has anyone used this: https://mailman3.com The site seems incomplete. Or this: https://maadix.net/en/servers Looks good. Might be a bit expensive for my use. Or this: https://www.mailmanhost.com/mailman-3-hosting/ Also looks good. A long time ago we corresponded. They seem reasonable. My list is about 700 people. These seem to be the same people: https://www.emwd.com/mailman-3-shared-list-hosting/ Any others I should know about? Thanks in advance. paul arenson japan

MM3 + Postfix + Dovecot + PostfixAdmin
by maztec＠gmail.com 20 Aug '19

System: Debian Buster Install: Functioning Postfix w/ Dovecot using PostfixAdmin for virtual domain and mailbox management Definitions: Host.TLD = my server's domain name; List.TLD = listserv's domain name; ListName = list's name. Issue: Postfix LMTP does not pass messages onto MM3:LMTP. Instead the behavior summary is as follows: postfix/lmtp[...]: ###: to=<mailman3:[127.0.0.1]:8024@Host.TLD>, orig_to=<ListName-confirm+###(a)ListServer.TLD>, relay=Host.TLD[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=439, delays=439/0.03/0.01/0.01, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (host Host.TLD[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 550 5.1.1 <"mailman3:[127.0.0.1]:8024"@Host.TLD> User doesn't exist: mailman3:[127.0.0.1]:8024@Host.TLD (in reply to RCPT TO command)) The problem appears to be that Postfix defaults the relay to being private/dovecot-lmtp and not the general lmtp protocol or the mailman3 dedicated lmtp protocol. ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Details: # cat /proc/version Linux version 4.19.0-5-amd64 (debian-kernel(a)lists.debian.org) (gcc version 8.3.0 (Debian 8.3.0-6)) #1 SMP Debian 4.19.37-5+deb10u1 (2019-07-19) ---------------------------------------- # postconf -n alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases append_dot_mydomain = no biff = no broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes compatibility_level = 2 debug_peer_level = 4 html_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix/html inet_interfaces = all inet_protocols = ipv4 local_recipient_maps = $virtual_mailbox_maps,regexp:/var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_lmtp local_transport = virtual mailbox_size_limit = 0 mydestination = localhost myhostname = rijr.com mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128 myorigin = /etc/mailname owner_request_special = no policy-spf_time_limit = 3600s readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix recipient_delimiter = + relay_domains = $mydestination,regexp:/var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_domains relayhost = smtp_tls_loglevel = 1 smtp_tls_security_level = may smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU) smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $mydomain smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_tls_security_options = $smtpd_sasl_security_options smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/private/vmail.crt smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/vmail.key smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1 smtpd_tls_received_header = yes smtpd_tls_security_level = may smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache smtpd_use_tls = yes transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport,regexp:/var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_lmtp virtual_alias_domains = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/virtual_alias_domains.cf virtual_alias_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/virtual_alias_maps.cf,proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/virtual_alias_domains_maps.cf,regexp:/var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_lmtp virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail virtual_mailbox_domains = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/virtual_mailbox_domains.cf virtual_mailbox_limit = 512000000 virtual_mailbox_maps = regexp:/var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_lmtp,proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/virtual_mailbox_maps.cf virtual_minimum_uid = 5000 virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 # cat master.cf [grep'd for lmtp and mailman3] lmtp unix - - y - - lmtp mailman3 unix - - - - - lmtp -o lmtp_send_xforward_command=yes -o disable_dns_lookups=yes ---------------------------------------- # cat mailman.cfg [mta section only] [mta] incoming: mailman.mta.postfix.LMTP outgoing: mailman.mta.deliver.deliver smtp_host: localhost smtp_port: 25 lmtp_host: 127.0.0.1 lmtp_port: 8024 configuration: /etc/mailman3/postfix-mailman.cfg ---------------------------------------- # cat /var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_lmtp # AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED BY MAILMAN ON 2019-08-06 06:39:21 # # This file is generated by Mailman, and is kept in sync with the binary hash # file.

Compression error
by Andrew Bernard 17 Aug '19

I did a git pull today. Now I get the following error and the archives wont display: compressor.exceptions.OfflineGenerationError: You have offline compression enabled but key "b5ae52a1ebb585c556edceb45a148cb948b2a2673d133a340a90cd02fdd34828" is missing from offline manifest. You may need to run "python manage.py compress". Here is the original content: Any clues?

qcluster CPU usage
by Andrew Bernard 17 Aug '19

17 Aug '19

Recently the qcluster program is engaging the CPU continuously at about 5% CPU. While that may not be much, previously it was not doing this. What could be the cause of this? I cant see any warnings in the logs.

Hyperkitty reply indent
by Andrew Bernard 16 Aug '19

16 Aug '19

Is there any way the indent in the thread view can be reduced or set to zero? My users are complaining that by the time you have a reply four or five deep the view on a mobile phone leaves only one or two words, because it does not wrap responsively correctly (have I set something wrongly?) Andrew
