Time Zone Problem In Postorius
by Brian Carpenter 13 Jan '22

13 Jan '22

I have the server TZ set to EST. I have the TZ for Postfix set to EST. I have the following set in my settings_local.py file: TIME_ZONE = 'America/New_York' USE_TZ = True However messages showing up in the pending moderation queue box shows UTC date. I am seeing this behavior in Affinity as well so I figured it is either a Mailman core setting or perhaps database? Can anyone shed light on that? Brian

Questions regarding message acceptance
by Pawel Grzywaczewski 11 Jan '22

11 Jan '22

Hello, I have few questions regarding usage of Mailman3: 1) We have list1 and list2 with members. Can we specify that all members of list1 can post messages to list2? We could potentially write a script that would synchronize members of another list to “Accept these non-members” of another list, but with thousands of lists it will be difficult to maintain lists in synchro. So perhaps there is a concept of adding another list to “Accept these non-members” and mailman real-time evaluate membership of another list upon message arrival? 2) In explanation of “Accept these non-members” it’s written: “While non-regexp addresses can be entered here, it is preferred to add the address as a nonmember and set the nonmember's Moderation to Default Processing”. I noticed that if someone posts to a list then he is added automatically to non-members. Which means that next time he will be able to post. My understanding is that it’s better to use the feature “Accept these non-members”. Am I correct? Thank you, Paweł

Postorius & multi domain
by Gelpi Andrea 06 Jan '22

06 Jan '22

Hi, on a fresh debian 10 (mail server) I added mailman3 with: apt-get install mailman3-full dpkg-reconfigure mailman3 dpkg-reconfigure mailman3-web The server name is webserver-A Then I log in in webserver-A/mailman3 as a superuser I created a domain for webserver-A and domain-A The I created a list-A Then I created a second domain for webserver-B and domain-B Then I added to apache config a virtual host for webserver-B I log in webserver-B as the some superuser of webserver-A and I created a list-B But when I list the lists I can see both under webserver-A and webserver-B. The some problem with archiving hyperkitty. I search internet for a while and I discovered that using FILTER_VHOST = True seems to solve the problem. >From posotrius config page: FILTER_VHOST Filter the list of available lists in Postorius and Hyperkitty depending on the domain they are being currently served from. Mailman 3 supports multiple domains in a single installation. But it doesn't work. I got err 500 form apache. Were can I find an explanation or a how to configure the system to have 2 webserver with different domains working on the some server as it was with mailman 2? P.S.: I upgrade postorius to V. 1.3.2 and djando V 2.2.12 using the packages in testing distribution. The debian 10 official postorius package is too old (1.2.24) and does not support FILTER_VHOST Thanks in advance - -- Gelpi ing.

Postorius fails to show list because of a large message being held
by Gilles Filippini 22 Dec '21

22 Dec '21

Hi, Recently a member of one of our private lists sent a message with a picture attached. Because of the large message size (23MB) it was put into the moderation queue. But since then postorius fails to open the list's page with this error: Something went wrong Mailman REST API not available. Please start Mailman core. The database logs show that it processed a request related to the held message just before failing: LOG: statement: SELECT message.id AS message_id_1, message.message_id AS message_message_id, message.message_id_hash AS message_message_id_hash, message.path AS message_path FROM message WHERE message.message_id = '<CAEcCghAdp+20jiG19jNGX06xhJ-iYvZGyyV8b-toW7LqCSv5JQ(a)mail.gmail.com>' LIMIT 1 Mailman Core logs: [2020-07-14 10:41:21 +0000] [36] [CRITICAL] WORKER TIMEOUT (pid:49) [2020-07-14 10:41:21 +0000] [49] [INFO] Worker exiting (pid: 49) [2020-07-14 10:41:22 +0000] [50] [INFO] Booting worker with pid: 50 How should I proceed to unblock the situation? Thanks, _g.

list footer web customization procedure
by Philippe B 20 Dec '21

20 Dec '21

I am new to Mailman 3 and I've been reading all the documentation that I could find, but I haven't been able to figure out how a list owner can use the web interface to customize the footer that appears at the end of each e-mail from the list. We're actually after something much simpler (in theory), which is to eliminate the built-in footer altogether for some of our lists. Could someone share the instructions for doing that? Thanks.

Hyperkitty - 'MySQL server has gone away'
by dancab＠caltech.edu 10 Dec '21

10 Dec '21

I just deployed Mailman3 last night. This is the first error message I've encountered from Hyperkitty. It looks like a MySQL configuration issue. I've done some tuning to the wait/timeouts but I'm still getting the error message. I suspect the root cause is the size of the message. mailman qfile shows the message has 84746 lines and the .pck file is 6.9M. Let me know if there's more specific tuning that needs to be done to cover larger messages. My MySQL wait/timeouts are set as follows: MySQL [mysql]> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "%timeout%"; +-----------------------------+----------+ | Variable_name | Value |

SMTPSenderRefused - howto enable STARTTLS for local mail drop
by Stefan Bauer 07 Dec '21

07 Dec '21

Dear users, how can we configure mailman3, to use STARTTLS when dropping mails to local postfix for final delivery? Mailman seems to not support this. Even the web-interface complains: SMTPSenderRefused at /accounts/login/(530, b'5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first', 'postorius(a)lists.mydomain.tld')Request Method: POST Request URL: https://mm3.mydomain.tld/mailman3/accounts/login/ Django Version: 2.2.12 Exception Type: SMTPSenderRefused Exception Value: (530, b'5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first', 'postorius(a)lists.mydomain.tld')Exception Location: /usr/lib/python3.8/smtplib.py in sendmail, line 880 Python Executable: /usr/bin/uwsgi-core Python Version: 3.8.10 Python Path: ['.', '', Thank you.

Renaming a server after building
by Philip Colmer 27 Nov '21

27 Nov '21

We're getting closer to migrating from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3. In preparation, I want to get new servers built ready to accept the migrated data from our old MM2 servers before we shut them down. So, the new servers will be something like "new-lists.example.com" to complement the existing "lists.example.com" servers. When we are ready to do the migration, we'll rename the MM2 servers to "old-lists" and rename the MM3 servers to "lists" and then migrate the data. Looking at the settings in the Django admin interface, I *thought* I had figure out how best to do this: - Under /admin/sites/site/, click on the existing domain name and change it to match the correct FQDN. - Under /admin/django_mailman3/maildomain/, click on the exist mail domain and change the mail domain to match the correct FQDN. However, although the above works, if I then go back to the *Mailman* interface and go to /mailman3/domains/, the web interface recreates a domain for the original domain name that was in place when the server was created, i.e. we end up with "lists" and "new-lists". We've tried deleting that "new-lists" domain, rebooting and trying again but "new-lists" keeps on being created again. What am I overlooking here? Is there a better/approved way to achieve what we want to achieve? Thanks. Philip

Hyperkitty: Error when rebuilding Index
by M4tze 26 Nov '21

26 Nov '21

Dear list members, if there is any Hyperkitty expert here, I have issues in Hyperkitty (just updated Maxkings Docker images) when rebuilding the Index. Unfortunately, there are more than 25,000 mails and I do not know which one is/might be broken. Does the error mean that the rebuilding process is incomplete or does it simply skip the erroneous message?
