Postorius fails to show list because of a large message being held
by Gilles Filippini Dec. 22, 2021

Dec. 22, 2021

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.

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?

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

by maszap＠tin.it Aug. 19, 2021

Aug. 19, 2021

Hi everyone, from here: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/gnu-mailman/hyperkitty/it/ I see that there is a way to change the language of mailman3, postorius and hyperkitty But I don't find how. I read that you can download the .po files for the chosen language, but I didn't understand how to use these files. Could anyone show me how to do it? Thank you in advance. Max

Mailman3 Issue with Sending Mail to Yahoo/AOL
by chris＠zimmerman.to Aug. 11, 2021

Aug. 11, 2021

Hi everyone. I have a dedicated Ubuntu box that is running mailman3. I have a single email list on it. The subscriber base is about 350 users. There is a good chunk of these users that are aol.com or yahoo.com users. I've been getting complaints from the Yahoo people that mail is delayed at times, or messages that come out of order. Looking at the mailq on the box, I can see there are plenty of emails stuck in the queue. I have all sorts of messages like this ... -Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient------- 3576C540CB4 9917 Tue May 11 11:27:13 pcho-bounces(a)pchochat.com (host mta6.am0.yahoodns.net[67.195.204.74] said: 452 Too many recipients tnmpmscs (in reply to RCPT TO command)) <removed list of email addresses> (host mta6.am0.yahoodns.net[67.195.204.74] said: 421 [IPTS04] Messages from 74.112.73.65 temporarily deferred due to unexpected volume or user complaints - 4.16.55.1; see https://postmaster.verizonmedia.com/error-codes (in reply to end of DATA command)) <removed list of email addresses> 10932540D16 32765 Tue May 11 18:34:13 pcho-bounces(a)pchochat.com (host mta6.am0.yahoodns.net[67.195.228.111] said: 421 4.7.0 [TSS04] Messages from 74.112.73.65 temporarily deferred due to unexpected volume or user complaints - 4.16.55.1; see https://postmaster.verizonmedia.com/error-codes (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) <removed list of email addresses> (host mx-biz.mail.am0.yahoodns.net[67.195.204.83] said: 421 4.7.0 [TSS04] Messages from 74.112.73.65 temporarily deferred due to unexpected volume or user complaints - 4.16.55.1; see https://postmaster.verizonmedia.com/error-codes (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) <removed list of email addresses> (host mx-aol.mail.gm0.yahoodns.net[67.195.228.84] said: 421 4.7.0 [TSS04] Messages from 74.112.73.65 temporarily deferred due to unexpected volume or user complaints - 4.16.55.1; see https://postmaster.verizonmedia.com/error-codes (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) (host mta6.am0.yahoodns.net[67.195.228.111] said: 421 4.7.0 [TSS04] Messages from 74.112.73.65 temporarily deferred due to unexpected volume or user complaints - 4.16.55.1; see https://postmaster.verizonmedia.com/error-codes (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) <removed list of email addresses> So it seems that Yahoo/AOL keeps detecting my mailman3 server as either spam, sending too much email, or too many recipients. This email server is for our neighborhood community. Its moderated to join, and we know every single user on this list. We know it's not being reported as spam by our users. Anyone anyone shed some light on how to appropriately solve this issue?

[MM3-users]Is it possible to grant all users the ability to Create List
by Carrie Knox July 13, 2021

July 13, 2021

Hello, Our company is evaluating mailman3 as an option for company internal list serving. One of the requirements is that anyone with access to the list server be allowed to create and manage lists. Is this possible? If so, how? Is there a "create list" role that can be added for all registered users? Thanks

List rename
by Joel Lord July 7, 2021

July 7, 2021

I'm in an odd situation where I need to rename a bunch of lists. They were all created on mailman2 originally and migrated to mailman3 (very successfully, TYVM) but the names were all originally discuss-<foo>@domain and it's very confusing to be sure you're always sending to the correct <foo>. We want to completely rename the lists to <foo>-discuss@domain. These lists do not keep archives, so if I have to resort to extracting the subscriber lists and the configs and building new lists, I'm completely fine with that. Problem is, I'm really used to MM2 and config_list and could do this without thinking using those tools... that I don't have. Running MM3 3.2.2 trying to make this happen. Any assistance I could get will be greatly appreciated. THANKS! -- Joel Lord Web Administrator, Alpha Psi Omega Grand Cast etc... etc... etc...

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'settings'
by Michela June 18, 2021

June 18, 2021

Hello! I've just set up Mailman 3 with Hyperkitty and Postorius in venv via pip by using the guide at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#virtualenv-inst… on Oracle Linux 8.3 with Python 3.6.8. The process seemed to go smoothly and without errors. The log file, /opt/mailman/web/logs/uwsgi-error.log, contains the following stack trace, however. Note the bit toward the bottom: "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'settings'" Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 224, in fetch_command app_name = commands[subcommand] KeyError: 'qcluster' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web", line 8, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/mailman_web/manage.py", line 30, in main execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 401, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 395, in execute self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 231, in fetch_command settings.INSTALLED_APPS File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 76, in __getattr__ self._setup(name) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 63, in _setup self._wrapped = Settings(settings_module) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 142, in __init__ mod = importlib.import_module(self.SETTINGS_MODULE) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/importlib/__init__.py", line 126, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 994, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 971, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 953, in _find_and_load_unlocked ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'settings' [uwsgi-daemons] throttling "/opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web qcluster" for 245 seconds [uwsgi-daemons] respawning "/opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web qcluster" (uid: 1002 gid: 1002) Mailman and mailman-web do start without errors when I run them via their systemd unit files and Postorius serves up pages (without styles and such, which I'll fix later). SELinux is disabled, at least while I work through this issue. I've gone over the configuration files, and everything appears to be in order as written in the installation instructions, but that's likely not the case. :) My configuration files outside of the Mailman virtual environment are in /etc/mailman/: (venv) [mailman@host ~]$ ls /etc/mailman3/ mailman.cfg __pycache__ settings.py uwsgi.ini When searching the web about this, I only found one result, on this very list, but it didn't have quite enough information for me to solve my issue. It might also not quite be the same problem: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… Might you be able to point me in the right direction on solving this issue? Please tell me if there is any more information I can provide to that end. Best, Michela

How to store additional information about lists?
by Andreas Barth May 30, 2021

May 30, 2021

Hi together, I need to add custom attributes to the mailing lists: "responsible department": Free text field who is responsible from an organisational pov (not a person but an entity) Enhance the boolean public to a tri-state: public, restricted audience and private (restricted audience means: some people could subscribe themself - how that works is a different topic but w/o the information this can't be achived) - of course this could also be implemented as a second boolean that e.g. splits "not public" into "restricted audience" and "private" (means: nothing goes wrong for code that doesn't know this difference). Any hints how to do that best? Is it possible to store custom attributes, or should that be stored elsewhere? Andi
