The corresponding list for Mailman 2.1 is https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ That said, your issue is because the list is adding a message footer (or possibly header or both) to the delivered message. This is discussed in the FAQ at https://wiki.list.org/x/4030707 That FAQ says there are Mailman configuration things you can do. Exactly what you do depends on the requirements of your list and whether this is Mailman 2.1 or Mailman 3. If you don't require that HTML or other non plain text parts be delivered, you can adjust content filtering to remove them and create a simple plain text message which won't have this problem. Or you can ensure that no message header/footer is added. How you do these things depends on your Mailman version. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

This is possibly unrelated to Mailman, and possibly happening because Outlook.com and Hotmail are both owned by Microsoft, and both are flagging your server as a spam source. You can verify this by checking your mail server's logs. Usually a big service like Hotmail or Gmail will embed a URL in the error message where you can go to apply to be whitelisted. If this is the problem, you may need to take additional steps (again outside of Mailman3) to be a good email server citizen, such as adding DKIM and SPF records in your domain's DNS. Unless you have both, Microsoft or Google may block your server. It might also be a Mailman problem, but since some subscribers do get postings, I'd start with this first. dn

I am responsible for the mailing list of a local church. Recently the church was moved to using Mailman for this. When a simple message is created and sent to the mailing list most email addresses received it correctly but those with an Outlook or Hotmail account received attachments and not the message. There are three attachments and one of them has to be opened to view the message. Am I missing some setting? John McDonald

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?

apache2 security for mailman3 admin
by Lars Schimmer 22 Dec '21

22 Dec '21

Hi, I know it is not the perfect place to ask, but if onyone has a good idea, example, I would be happy. I do run mailman3 with apache ProxyPass in front. I did set: <IfModule mod_proxy_uwsgi.c> ProxyPass /mailman3/favicon.ico ! ProxyPass /mailman3/static ! ProxyPass /mailman3 unix:/run/mailman3-web/uwsgi.sock|uwsgi://localhost </IfModule> as given as example to set it up. Now I want to limit the mailman3/admin area to a defined IP range. Anyone has a working example to limit only the /admin area to a IP range in Apache2, but everything else as it is now?

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.

restricting public lists per virtual domain
by David Newman 17 Dec '21

17 Dec '21

Can lists set to be viewable on the index page be limited to the virtual domain they are a part of? Let's say I have two virtual domains: lists.dom1.tld lists.dom2.tld Currently, if any list in either domain is set to be viewable on the index page, it's viewable in both domains, not just the one it's a part of. How to restrict access on a per-domain basis? I searched the archives and found something about disabling archives per domain [1], but that's a different question. This seems like a standard problem and may have been asked a different way before, and I may have missed it. Thanks in advance for config clues. dn [1] https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/search?mlist=mailman-users%40mailman3.o…

Strange problem in user lists
by Gelpi Andrea 16 Dec '21

16 Dec '21

Hi, I have a strange problem in one list. when I add a memebr I use the form "Name Surname" <email(a)domain.tld> I cant' understand why, but I have two members with the wrong name. "A B" <C(a)dom.tld> "D E" <F(a)dom.tld> My problem is that A and B must be associated with F(a)dom.tld and vice-versa. I tried to delete the user member and recreate it, but it has always the wrong name. Is it possible to correct those errors? How? Thanks in advance -- Gelpi ing.

File in /var/lib/mailman3/queue/bounces/
by Andreas Barth 12 Dec '21

12 Dec '21

Hi, in my local installation there is a file in /var/lib/mailman3/queue/bounces/ since a couple of days. Any hint how to get rid of it? 'mailman unshunt' doesn't do it, but also, it's in queue/bounces and now queue/shunt. Andi

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 |
