Listing/Exporting member list error: Mailman REST API not available. Please start Mailman core.
by Thomas Lehker 17 Feb '20

17 Feb '20

Our MailMan3 server is extremely slow and when trying to list or export members for a larger list it is throwing 'Mailman REST API not available. Please start Mailman core'. In Mailman core logs I am seeing [27] [CRITICAL] WORKER TIMEOUT (pid:40) [43] [INFO] Booting worker with pid: 43 Has anyone seen this issue? Is there any way to increase 'timeouts'? Thanks for any help!

Mailman stopping message distribution because of SMTP errors
by Victoriano Giralt 12 Feb '20

12 Feb '20

Hi list, I have recently migrated some lists from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3. Users have been added using the mailman client as pre-verified addresses so the migration happened "silently". Thus, there was a dozen "bad" addresses (domains that did not exist anymore). Unfortunately, Mailman got some of the "bad" addresses in the first message batch for sending out, so, Postfix closed the connection because of "too many errors" and this stopped the process completely, i.e. Mailman did not continue sending messages to the rest of the list over 600 addresses. There was no more information in the logs than the Postfix error messages in smtp.log. Once the "bad" addresses were removed, the list started working as expected. I consider this a bug. The bouncing addresses should have been marked as "non deliverable" and the subscriptions "paused" and the rest should have been delivered. Or, the list owner should have been notified that there was a problem with message distribution. None of these happened.

How to get rid of footer (Mailman3)
by tarmokumar＠gmail.com 12 Feb '20

12 Feb '20

Hi, I have read multiple posts in this forum that you should be able to get rid of the footer completely but I am unable to. I have tried: - adding the footer template to a list and not adding any "Data" to it. Result was a attachment with some "dfgdfgdfgdfg" text in it. - adding/creating a blank "list:member:generic:footer" document to /var/templates/site/en, var/templates/lists/LIST.ID/en/ and var/templates/domains/DOMAIN/en/. Result is that the sent e-mail still has the original unsubscribe text in the footer (as an attachment) - removing all the files from /mailman/src/mailman/templates/en, still no change We are running Mailman within Docker on these versions: maxking/mailman-core:0.3.2 maxking/mailman-web:0.3.2 When searching the docker for example "list:member:generic:footer" file, there isnt one (except the one I created) and when I search the file for text "unsubscribe", then it is only included in the postfix_lmtp file, but this doesnt seem to be it since it is overwritten every time.

Sync Members of a MM3 Mailing List
by brian＠emwd.com 12 Feb '20

12 Feb '20

Does Mailman 3 have a feature/script/function that corresponds with the sync_members script that Mailman 2 has? I have a Mailman 3 client that wants to automate the process of keeping a MM3 list synchronized with a file on the server. Thanks, Brian

Hi! Since we do run roughly 40 mailinglists on mailman3, the schedules/cronjob task python3 /usr/share/mailman3-web/manage.py runjobs minutely uses 1 CPU core 100% all the time.

Your Dashboard
by Torge Riedel 12 Feb '20

12 Feb '20

Hi, everytime I receive a mail for moderation it says: At your convenience, visit your dashboard to approve or deny the request. So, I am wondering where this "dashboard" might be. We are managing 11 different lists (small scenario I think) and currently we have to navigate to each list and its page of mails to moderate. I like the idea of a "dashboard" were you can see a summary of mails to moderate and other stuff to have an eye on. And directly do this from this dashbard. Which is convenience. If it is already there, where do I find it? If not, do others also find such a dashboard helpful? Best regards Torge

Cannot setup announce-only mailing list
by Alberto Granzotto 08 Feb '20

08 Feb '20

Dear all, I don't understand how to set up an "announce only" mailing list using Postorius Version 1.2.4. What I do is the following: - Click on "Create New List" - From "List Style", select "Announce only mailing list style." - Fill all other fields in the form - Click "Create list" At this point people can subscribe to the newly created announce mailing list. If they add themselves they end up in "List Members", and if they email the announce mailing list, their email is relayed to all other members, just like a normal mailing list :/ Moreover, subscribers get this message, inviting them to post to the announce only mailing list: > Welcome to the "Test-announce" mailing list! > > To post to this list, send your email to: > > test-announce(a)lists.dist0rtion.com Of course, I want to keep this mailing list "read only" for members, and I want only selected people to post to that mailing list. Any idea on how to achieve that? Best, Alberto

Attachement processings questions
by Lars Schimmer 07 Feb '20

07 Feb '20

Hello, I got some questions about attachements in MM3 mailinglists and HyperKitty. Hard to find any real documentation about this in the huge load of links out there. Short: Debian Stretch system with MailMan 3.2.1-1 packages (Postorius 1.2.4, HyperKitty 1.2.2). In a mailinglist it seems some mails are not forwarded to a member, but is listed in archive in hyperkitty. That mail did include a PDF attachement, but HyperKitty does not list any attachement. All I found was "convert HTML to plaintext", but does this setting remove attachements? Is there any generel documentation about attachement processing in MM3? I would like this mailinglist to accept mails with attachements, send it to the members and archvie the attachments in HyperKitty, to. Any idea where to look? Thank you so far.

where to configure max_days_to_hold on MM3 GUI interface?
by Shashikanth Komandoor 06 Feb '20

06 Feb '20

Hi Sir, I came to know that the held messages can be restricted to be processed after a specific no of days or can be discard after some days using the parameter *max_days_to_hold*. But I could see that parameter value configurable on MM2 GUI interface in General Options but I don't see the same on the MM3 GUI interface. Could you please help me if I am missing something? -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936
