mass subscribers disablement!?
by Christian Stalberg 26 Nov '21

26 Nov '21

I added the additional hosts to ALLOWED HOSTS in settings_local.py and mailman is distributing mail to subscribers again. However, I then received many emails of valid users subscriptions being disabled. What would cause that? Can subscriber management be done via command line?

Post-installation documentation?
by David Newman 26 Nov '21

26 Nov '21

Is post-installation documentation available for a full Mailman3 installation on a new Debian 11 machine? I am looking for a high-level "do these steps next to get a list working" document rather than an API command reference. I followed the venv documentation and the installation went ok, but still have questions about what to do next, e.g.: - why do the venv docs and admin FAQ give different nginx configs for the reverse proxy? https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/faq.html#confirmation-emails-to-users-h… https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#nginx-configura… - Does the 'Secret_Hyperkitty_API_Key' need to go anywhere else besides /opt/mailman/mm/mailman-hyperkitty.cfg? - For Django (presumably in /etc/mailman3/settings.py, but the docs don't say), what values to use with Postfix to set up the email back end? I have a working test list, but am not altogether sure it's set up correctly. Thanks in advance for pointers to docs beyond the installation steps. dn

List in list, mutiple reply-to addresses
by Stefan Bauer 26 Nov '21

26 Nov '21

Dear List, we habe observerd the following behavior, when a list is member of another list, the reply-to-address has multiple entires: list iu-all@mydomain member: iu-int@mydomain list iu-int@mydomain member: john@mydomain Case) Sender: mike@mydomain To: iu-all@mydomain john receives following mail: from: iu-int@mydomain reply-to: mike@mydomain, iu-all@mydomain If john now hits reply in mailclient, mail goes to ALL instead of just the from-address, as mailman extended the reply-to header. How can this be changed? thank you. Stefan

Unsubscribe all (any plan to use mass-subscription API?)
by Alan So 22 Nov '21

22 Nov '21

Tested that "Unsubscribe all" in Postorius1.3.6 is not making use of mass-subscription API while mass removal of a list of addresses already make use of the API. Any plan to change to use the API in 1.3.7? Thanks.

AttributeError: ,> 'ReopenableFileHandler' object has no attribute '_stream'
by David Newman 22 Nov '21

22 Nov '21

((reposting with correct subject line -- sorry!)) 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/…

Equivalent of listadmin Perl script for Mailman 3?
by Philip Colmer 20 Nov '21

20 Nov '21

Hi We're preparing to migrate about 4 Mailman 2 servers to Mailman 3. In doing so, one of our list administrators has informed us that he uses "listadmin" (Petter Reinholdtsen: listadmin, the quick way to moderate mailman lists - nice free software (skolelinux.org) <http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/listadmin__the_quick_way_to_moderate…> ) Does anyone know if there is an equivalent tool that works with Mailman 3? Thank you. Regards Philip

Hyperkitty messages stuck in spool
by Andrew Hodgson 19 Nov '21

19 Nov '21

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 19 Nov '21

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 18 Nov '21

18 Nov '21

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.
