Confusing mailman user model
by Gilles Filippini July 19, 2020

July 19, 2020

Hi, I'm trying to understand the Mailman user model, and I'm confused about the respective roles of tables 'auth_user' and 'user'. Both have an 'id' column referred to as 'user_id' when used as a foreign key. But there seems to be no relation at all between them as they use different ids for the same user. Our mailman server was migrated from mailman2 to mailman3 about 1.5 year ago, and there is an inconsistency I'd like to fix: 2 of our users have a registered Mailman account with their respective email addresses in table 'auth_user', but these very same addresses in the 'address' table are linked to another old admin account in the 'user' table. Then if add one of these addresses as a domain owner, it it the old admin address which is selected instead. How could I fix that? Thanks in advance, _g.

Creating new lists

Hi, I'd like to delegate lists creation to a couple of other users. I've added their email addresses as domain owners, but still they don't have the "Create New List" button available. Which condition a mailman user has to fulfill to be allowed to create new lists? Thanks, _g.

Also deleted website example.com

Hi there, i also deleted the website example.com, while I tried to configure my mailman 3 site. Now I get a Server-error, when I try to open my mailman3 sites: "An error occurred while processing your request" I tried to fix this problem by changing the SITE_ID=2 in my settings_local.py. But nothing helped, also the SITE_ID=0 did change nothing. I made a "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart" to ensure, that the settings are loaded again, but it didnt help. Is there anything I can do, besides reinstalling all django and mailman 3? Mailman Version 3.2.1, Python 2.7.16, Django 1.11.28 Thanks for any hints :-) Wolfgang

The Use of Hyperkitty as a Forum and Archiver
by Brian Carpenter July 15, 2020

July 15, 2020

Dear Mailman 3 Users, Since Mailman 3 includes a forum feature via Hyperkitty, I would like to know the following: - Has the forum feature (Hyperkitty) of MM3 been received well by your list members or is it mostly ignored? - Do you see an increase in the use of HK as a forum from your list members? - What kind of feedback have you received from your list members considering the forum function of MM3? Positive or negative? - Do you think HK is received well by your list members as an archiver and do you think it provides a better user experience for viewing/searching archives vs Pipermail of MM2? Thank you for anything you shared. I am very curious to know the state of Hyperkitty among the Mailman 3 user community. -- Please let me know if you need further assistance. Thank you for your business. We appreciate our clients.

Re: Using external services for deliverability?

Thank you both for the help. I have SPF and reverse DNS setup. But I thought DKIM is no help because Mailman rewrites the email headers?

mailman3 does not send to the members of the lists
by maszap＠tin.it July 12, 2020

July 12, 2020

Goodmorning everyone, I'm setting up a mail server to manage a mailinglist. I installed mailman3-full and configured everything. I can create a list, add members to the list, but when I create a new thread, I only get it on the email from the same domain as the list. While all the other members of the list, they do not receive the thread. I tried to check the logs, but I don't see anything significant. What can I check? Thank you in advance Max

Mail control not given from Mailman 3 to postfix
by Shashikanth Komandoor July 12, 2020

July 12, 2020

Hi Team, I am currently running Mailman 3 with version 3.3.1 and in built postfix version 2.10.1-6 on RHEL 7.5 in production environment from the past 2 months almost. Recently I observed a peculiar case. There is a list say testlist(a)lists.testdom.com has a non member say testuser(a)testdom.com whose Moderation attribute is set to "Accept immediately (bypass all other rules). This testuser(a)testdom.com has sent a mail to testlist(a)lists.testdom.com and postfix of my Maliman 3 received the request and handed over to Mailman at 0.0.0.0:8024 socket running on the same machine and the same is logged in /var/log/maillog. Since the user has the moderation attribute set to Accept, the /var/lib/mailman/mailman/var/logs/vette.log also displayed "ACCEPT" on searching with the same message id. At this point, to my expectations, there should be 2 entries for this message id in smtp.log one for smtp and one for post. But I don't find any log records with this message id in smtp.log and of course the mail is not delivered even. Could you please help me out if I have missed any point or improperly understood the mail flow while using the mailman 3? Please also let me know if I need to see any more log files for tracing the issue. -- 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>

ARC
by David Krantz July 11, 2020

July 11, 2020

Hi, A completely different question: Is there anyone that has a working non-naive setup for ARC signing of mail list mail in mailman? I've tried both the built-in version but it was not usable in the version I tried for the case where there are several domains with different selectors and keys and where the outgoing mail also is DKIM-signed. This might be that the documentation is lacking but a very shallow look in the source gave me the impression that the implementation is limited to one domain which is not enough for my use case as I have lists in several domains. I use DKIM on outgoing mail with a setup where each domain has its own keys and selectors. As discussed here earlier, the DKIM signature should be added before the ARC signature. I have tried to use rspamd after a tip here for this but without luck so far, but this is somewhat off topic for mailman although related of course. rspamd seems very good for other purposes and solves my other problems with greylisting, DKIM-signing and spam filtering. That said, ARC seems difficult to get to work for forwarded mails there also... cheers // David
