[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lock/mailman/mailman-cfg
by David Newman Nov. 20, 2021

Nov. 20, 2021

Greetings. I am attempting a complete Mailman 3 installation on a Debian 10 system that already runs Mailman 2, following this documentation: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html Even following this guide, I'd had a lot of issues with permissions, where directories and files were owned by list rather than mailman. After correcting those issues, I then got to the point of checking mailman3's status, and systemctl shows this error: Nov 19 20:09:57 [REDACTED] mailman[1463]: Error in atexit._run_exitfuncs: Nov 19 20:09:57 [REDACTED] mailman[1463]: Traceback (most recent call last): Nov 19 20:09:57 [REDACTED] mailman[1463]: File "/usr/lib/python3.7/logging/__init__.py", line 2038, in shutdown Nov 19 20:09:57 [REDACTED] mailman[1463]: h.flush() Nov 19 20:09:57 [REDACTED] mailman[1463]: File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/mailman/core/logging.py", line 67, in flush Nov 19 20:09:57 [REDACTED] mailman[1463]: if self._stream: Nov 19 20:09:57 [REDACTED] mailman[1463]: AttributeError: 'ReopenableFileHandler' object has no attribute '_stream' There is an October 2019 thread on this error [1] but I think it's in a different context, where the OP already had mailman3 running, and was trying to migrate Mailman 2 lists. Also, regarding those permissions issues above, it matters which "layout" value is in /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg. I'd tried "dev" because I saw a post from Mark Sapiro recommending that, but then mailman3 wanted me to create a bunch of directories under /etc, even though $var_dir was set to /var/lib/mailman3. Things seem to go better, except for the confusion between lists/mailman ownership, when I set layout to "debian", which was the default. Thanks in advance for clues on addressing the ReopenableFileHandler error above. dn [1] https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/…

Hyperkitty messages stuck in spool
by Andrew Hodgson Nov. 19, 2021

Nov. 19, 2021

Hi. I am seeing an issue whereby messages get stuck in the /opt/mailman/var/archives/hyperkitty/spool directory. I can sometimes clear these by restarting mailman-web and sending another message through to the list but I am having trouble identifying the root cause. This is something that started happening moving to a new host running latest Debian. Using venv rather than Debian packages. Any suggestions? Thanks. Andrew.

Negative number for digest size
by Gila Halpern Nov. 19, 2021

Nov. 19, 2021

If I set the digest size threshold to -1, will that make the digest size unlimited, and it will send once per period specified in the digest frequency setting?

Problems with signed messages from Apple Mail
by Rainer Herbst Nov. 18, 2021

Nov. 18, 2021

Dear all, after upgrading his Mac to MacOS 12.0.1 Monterey, one of our users can not send send signed messages to lists using Apple Mail v. 15.0 (3693.20.0.1.32). mailman3 denys the delivery of the mail with error message: host 172.19.0.4[172.19.0.4] said: 501 Message has defects (in reply to end of DATA command) I.e. mailman does not process the message, but rejects it already in the incoming smtp session. Is that a known issue? We use mailman3 docker installation, version info: GNU Mailman 3.3.4 (Tom Sawyer) Python 3.8.10 (default, May 6 2021, 06:30:44) Viele Grüße, Rainer Herbst Leiter IT-Service Phone: +49 331 7499-257 e-mail: rainer.herbst(a)aip.de https://www.aip.de ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leibniz-Institut für Astrophysik Potsdam (AIP) An der Sternwarte 16, 14482 Potsdam Vorstand: Prof. Dr. Matthias Steinmetz, Wolfram Rosenbach Stiftung bürgerlichen Rechts Stiftungsverzeichnis Brandenburg: 26 742-00/7026 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________ Mailman's content filtering has removed the following MIME parts from this message.

Bulk update of members' moderation settings
by Alex King Nov. 18, 2021

Nov. 18, 2021

I imported a list from mailman 2.1 using https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/migration.html. It happens that emergency moderation was set on the mailman 2.1 list, and this has resulted in all members having Moderation set to Hold. I now want to change that to Default Processing for all members. Is there a way to achieve that in bulk without clicking through the members options for each member in Postorius? Thanks, Alex

'str' object has no attribute 'token_type'
by Marco Marinello Nov. 16, 2021

Nov. 16, 2021

Hi everybody, I'm sorry for being always the strange guy with strange errors here but for some reason... I am. On a Mailman installation that was doing just fine for more than a year, I started receiving error messages per email. It happens when mailman daemon archives a messages. Although the messages is correctly archived, this exception is thrown by Hyperkitty: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/exception.py", line 47, in inner response = get_response(request) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 181, in _get_response response = wrapped_callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/django/views/decorators/http.py", line 40, in inner return func(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/hyperkitty/views/mailman.py", line 118, in _decorator return func(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/django/views/decorators/csrf.py", line 54, in wrapped_view return view_func(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/hyperkitty/views/mailman.py", line 164, in archive add_to_list(mlist_fqdn, msg) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/hyperkitty/lib/incoming.py", line 79, in add_to_list from_str = header_to_unicode(message['From']) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/email/message.py", line 391, in __getitem__ the values matching a header field name.

Other installations with same specs I'm managing to do not encounter this problem. Any clue of what could have happened, why and how to fix it? Thanks in advance, Marco

Race condition when mass subscribing same email addresses to two lists?
by Alan So Nov. 14, 2021

Nov. 14, 2021

We are testing the latest Mailman core 3.3.5 and Postorius 1.3.6. My colleagues reported that some email addresses cannot subscribe to the lists when two of them are using mass subscribe feature to add email addresses to the list. Then I try whether I can repeat the same issue. I did this: 1) Create two lists with default setting 2) Prepare a list of 1000 fresh email addresses not added to the system before 3) Mass subscribe both lists of these 1000 email addresses around the same time with all three Pre (confirm, approved, verified) checked There are quite a lot of similar errors in mailman.log. Did not study the code yet. Which part is causing the issue? SQLAlchemy 1.3.24 psycopg2-binary 2.8.6 [2021-10-28 08:38:30 +0000] [20141] [ERROR] Error handling request /3.1/members Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gunicorn/workers/sync.py", line 136, in handle self.handle_request(listener, req, client, addr) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gunicorn/workers/sync.py", line 179, in handle_request respiter = self.wsgi(environ, resp.start_response) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/database/transaction.py", line 51, in wrapper config.db.commit() File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/database/base.py", line 52, in commit self.store.commit() File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sqlalchemy/orm/session.py", line 1046, in commit self.transaction.commit() File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sqlalchemy/orm/session.py", line 502, in commit self._assert_active(prepared_ok=True) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sqlalchemy/orm/session.py", line 296, in _assert_active code="7s2a", sqlalchemy.exc.InvalidRequestError: This Session's transaction has been rolled back due to a previous exception during flush.

Bug in 2.1.36?
by Joel Lord Nov. 12, 2021

Nov. 12, 2021

I'm not sure if this is a bug or something about the new CSRF fix doesn't get along with something I have (mis)configured, but this definitely seems to be related. Sadly the script I use to backup mailman before upgrading I recently stopped backing up the lists themselves, so going back to 2.1.35 doesn't seem to be an option due to the .pck file version bump. Here's the trace I get: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/mailman/mailman-${domainslug}/scripts/driver", line 117, in run_main main() File "/mailman/mailman-${domainslug}/Mailman/Cgi/admindb.py", line 342, in main print doc.Format() File "/mailman/mailman-${domainslug}/Mailman/htmlformat.py", line 352, in Format output.append(Container.Format(self, indent)) File "/mailman/mailman-${domainslug}/Mailman/htmlformat.py", line 267, in Format output.append(HTMLFormatObject(item, indent)) File "/mailman/mailman-${domainslug}/Mailman/htmlformat.py", line 53, in HTMLFormatObject return item.Format(indent) File "/mailman/mailman-${domainslug}/Mailman/htmlformat.py", line 445, in Format % csrf_token(self.mlist, self.contexts, self.user) File "/mailman/mailman-${domainslug}/Mailman/CSRFcheck.py", line 53, in csrf_token mac = sha_new(secret + `issued`).hexdigest() TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'NoneType' and 'str' Running Python 2.7.5 . -- Joel Lord

Filtering signed mails
by Rainer Herbst Nov. 12, 2021

Nov. 12, 2021

Dear all, today I recived a user complain that his messages were rejected with error "The message's content type was not explicitly allowed" I checked the list and indeed, it was configured to filter content and to allow only a very limited number of content types, namely application/pdf and image/jpeg. After some experiments, the problems seems to be the s/mime signature. The messages contain a signature: <snip> Content-Type: application/x-pkcs7-signature; name="smime.p7s" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="smime.p7s" <snap> I added this type to the allowed MIME content type, but signed messages are still rejected. What do I miss?

Moderation Action Changed After Import
by Brian Carpenter Nov. 12, 2021

Nov. 12, 2021

I migrated a Mailman 2 list using import21 and the list's config.pck into a Mailman 3 list. The list owner reported back that about 98% of the list members had their moderation setting changed to Reject (with notification). He said the previous moderation was the list's default which was hold for moderation. Is such a thing possible with an import job? Is this perhaps a bug that has been reported previously? -- Brian Carpenter Harmonylists.com Emwd.com
