Update a member's display_name
by Nick Wynja July 8, 2020

July 8, 2020

Hi all, I want to update some list member's display_name either with mailman shell or mailmanclient. These mostly aren't users in Postorius so I only want to operate on the subscribed list member. I've tried everything I can find in the docs and am stuck. I've tried using `user_manager.get_user()` and then updating `user.display_name` followed by a `commit()` but it doesn't seem to persist the change. The `absorb_existing` flag for mailmanclient's `User.add_address()` looks promising but the docs read "It will import the existing user into the current one, not overwriting any previously set value." which in some cases, the member already has a display_name set. I haven't tried this yet. I'd appreciate any help pointing in the right direction. Thanks, Nick

Error after HyperKitty 1.3.x upgrade
by Florian Schulze July 6, 2020

July 6, 2020

Hi! After upgrading to HyperKitty 1.3.x I get the following error for qcluster: File ".../lib/python3.7/site-packages/django_q/cluster.py", line 300, in pusher task = SignedPackage.loads(task[1]) File ".../lib/python3.7/site-packages/django_q/signing.py", line 31, in loads serializer=PickleSerializer) File ".../lib/python3.7/site-packages/django_q/core_signing.py", line 38, in loads return serializer().loads(data) File ".../lib/python3.7/site-packages/django_q/signing.py", line 44, in loads return pickle.loads(data) AttributeError: Can't get attribute 'process_task_result' on <module 'hyperkitty.tasks' from '.../lib/python3.7/site-packages/hyperkitty/tasks.py'> How do I recover from that? It seems like there are still persisted tasks in the qcluster queue using the old code from 1.2.x with the old locking implementation. Regards, Florian Schulze

Using external services for deliverability?
by tom＠gather.coop July 4, 2020

July 4, 2020

I have a Mailman 3 server up and running but I'm terrified to migrate to it from my existing Mailman 2 provider for fear that services like Gmail will randomly start blacklisting my IP with little I can do about it. I have SPF records set up so I'm hoping I'll be Ok but I'd like to have a backup plan. Has anyone ever tried using an external service like Mailgun or Sendgrid as a relay? I tried both but couldn't get either to work due to their sender authentication mechanism. They want all 'From:' headers to be from domains that are pre-authenticated as senders. But Mailman keeps the 'From' header from the original sender so it won't match any authenticated domains. Right? Is there anything to be done here or do I just have to migrate and pray?

Example Logrotate files for Mailman3
by Andrew Hodgson July 3, 2020

July 3, 2020

Hi, Does anyone have any usable Logrotate files for Mailman3 (especially for the web stuff)? Will look to create my own if no one comes forward but if anyone has anything they are willing to share it would be fab. Thanks. Andrew.

clarifying configuration
by trewtus+200629maitr＠gmail.com June 30, 2020

June 30, 2020

Hey Team, I'm new to Mailman and after some failed attempts to install from git on CentOS8, I have just installed it on Ubuntu 20.04 using mostly aptitude. But it's not quite working and I want to increase the log level to better understand the problem. I did see another post that suggested that I add to /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg [logging.template] level: debug But that doesn't work for me. For example, after using that `mailman conf` doesn't list and debug values and as far as I can tell, the service, even after restarting, is not logging any more than it was. On the other hand, if I add [logging.smtp] level: debug Invoking `mailman conf` will reflect that new loglevel. This started me down the path of trying to figure out the configuration system of mailman in hope that that will save me time down the road. I have read https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/config/docs/config.html but that doesn't seem to agree with what I'm seeing. For an additional example, my mailman.cfg file has a "logging.debian" section, but I don't see that section listed in the `mailman conf` output. Why would that be? I don't see in the documentation if `mailman conf` only sees values after the service is restarted. Nevertheless, restarting mailman hasn't helped. What guidance can you give?

Moderation of posts via email is not working in mailman 3
by Shashikanth Komandoor June 30, 2020

June 30, 2020

Hi Team, In mailman 2, few of my users used to approve the held messages through the mail by writing Approved: header and the password of the list in the first line of the reply mail to the "confirm" attachment in the mail notification of the held messages. But after I started migrating my distribution lists from mailman 2 to mailman 3, my users are complaining that they could not approve the posts or the held messages through the mail as they usually do while they were browsing their lists in mailman 2. Is there any bug or limitation in mailman 3 or if I am doing any wrong at the server side? Please suggest. -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936 <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

Server 500 error for just one list, just one page
by kelly.close＠lrewater.com June 28, 2020

June 28, 2020

I am having a curious problem with just ONE list management page for ONE list on my server. Every other list I've checked, and every other management page for this affected list, seem fine. But when I go to the Subscribers page for this one list I get a Server 500 error, and I can't find anything in the apache or mailman logs to give me a clue (granted I'm not sure I know for sure where all the different logs are). So specifically this page: https://udfcd-lists.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/alarms-all.udfcd-lists.org… For a list called "alarms-all" obviously. Any ideas? I'm able to review the list, it's members, etc in the PostsgreSQL tables and I'm not seeing any members with funky characters in their address - the one thing I could think of to check. Thanks, ~Kelly

Null sender?
by tom＠gather.coop June 28, 2020

June 28, 2020

Does Mailman generally send email with a null sender? This is what I see in the log: Jun 28 02:37:45 2020 (14588) ('127.0.0.1', 52726) handling connection Jun 28 02:37:45 2020 (14588) ('127.0.0.1', 52726) Data: b'LHLO mail.example.coop' Jun 28 02:37:45 2020 (14588) ('127.0.0.1', 52726) Data: b'MAIL FROM:<>' Jun 28 02:37:45 2020 (14588) ('127.0.0.1', 52726) sender: <> Jun 28 02:37:45 2020 (14588) ('127.0.0.1', 52726) Data: b'RCPT TO:<techque-bounces(a)example.org>' Jun 28 02:37:45 2020 (14588) ('127.0.0.1', 52726) recip: techque-bounces(a)example.org Jun 28 02:37:45 2020 (14588) ('127.0.0.1', 52726) Data: b'DATA' Jun 28 02:37:45 2020 (14588) ('127.0.0.1', 52726) Data: b'QUIT' Notice the empty MAIL FROM. Sendgrid seems to be choking on that because it needs to check if sending domain has been validated. If there is no sending domain it seems to reject. Why does Mailman do this? Can it be changed? I've been trying to find the relevant section of the code to no avail.

Hyperkitty 403 Forbidden Error
by Phil Thompson June 25, 2020

June 25, 2020

I'm in the process of setting up mailman3. The only problem I seem to be having is getting Hyperkitty to archive messages. Rather than the authorisation problems people have previously asked about on the list, I am getting a 403 error... Aug 05 15:38:40 2019 (10229) HyperKitty failure on http://localhost/mailman3/hyperkitty/api/mailman/urls: <html><title>Forbidden</title><body> <h1>Access is forbidden</h1></body></html> (403) Aug 05 15:38:58 2019 (10222) HyperKitty failure on http://localhost/mailman3/hyperkitty/api/mailman/archive: <html><title>Forbidden</title><body> <h1>Access is forbidden</h1></body></html> (403) Any suggestions would be appreciated. Phil
