400 Bad Request when administrator tries to selectively override member options
by ieso＠johnwillson.com 08 May '21

This is probably Design Intent, but I'd just like to confirm. When an administrator submits partial 'member options', it comes back with the details of a 400 - Bad Request, indicating essentially that all of the member options must be set. Screenshot: https://ibb.co/pzM5Z4m It would be a bit smoother to check that all values are selected before sending the request, and inform the administrator that they cannot selectively override member settings for their list. But most importantly, I would like to confirm that nothing is corrupt/broken in our implementation. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

[Mailman-Users] Web interface for users (not admins)?
by Stephen J. Turnbull 08 May '21

08 May '21

Hi Skip! First, a bit of admin. Mailman 2 is still in active use, so we've split out a separate list for Mailman 3: mailman-users(a)mailman3.org. Subscribe at https://lists.mailman3.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.mailman3.org/ You can use several common social media to authenticate yourself. You'll have to do the usual one-time key dance to verify your email address (sorry!) You will get good feedback from the users there (better than the OP list). ** Reply-To set, please use "reply to author" to follow up. ** Skip Montanaro writes: > So, I got to thinking... Are there any free web user (not admin) > interfaces which integrate with MM3? Yes. The HyperKitty archiver, which is part of the Mailman 3 suite[1], provides an interface for submitting posts as well as reading them, and has a few social media features (liking posts). > Something which when combined with MM3 could conceivably be an > alternative to Google Groups, (the now defunct) Yahoo! Groups, or > Groups.o? That's for your users to say. ;-) If you visit https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/ you can try it for yourself. To post, you'll need to sign up (you can do that with a Google account, and I think both GitHub and GitLab are accepted as well. > I poked around the archives a bit and browsed list.org for a few > minutes, but turned up nothing. Or rather, all I found related to > web interfaces was the admin interface. HyperKitty issues mostly have to do with importing archives. The webservice being effectively synchronous and centralized doesn't have a lot of problems as compared to email, and many feature suggestions go directly to the tracker for HyperKitty. I'm not surprised you don't find much about HyperKitty as Web UI in the list archives.

mailman3 exim4 and debian 1 problem fconnection lost

[Mailman-Users] mailman3 and exim4 problem in debian bullseye Good evening, I'm configuring mailman3 with exim4 on a debian 11. I followed the official documentation on mailman for exim. It seems to be all rights, but I have a problem: when I send a message to a new lists in exim logs I see that exim uses correctly mailman router and transport. Unfortunately in smtp.log in mailman3 log folder I have the following error: May 04 16:51:01 2021 (2337) ('127.0.0.1', 34746) sender: servizioinformatico(a)uicbs.it May 04 16:51:01 2021 (2337) ('127.0.0.1', 34746) Data: b'RCPT TO: <listtest-unsubscribe(a)uicbs.it>' May 04 16:51:01 2021 (2337) ('127.0.0.1', 34746) recip: listtest-unsubscribe(a)uicbs.it May 04 16:51:01 2021 (2337) ('127.0.0.1', 34746) Data: b'DATA' May 04 16:51:02 2021 (2337) ('127.0.0.1', 34746) Data: b'QUIT' May 04 16:51:02 2021 (2337) ('127.0.0.1', 34746) connection lost May 04 16:51:02 2021 (2337) Connection lost during _handle_client() This causes that messages are not sent from mailman to users. Have you an idea of the problem? Can it be a memory problem that causes that mailman responses are too slow and exim closes the comunication before the end? I have no other errors in other log files Thank you in advance -- Roberto Burceni Linux System Admin & PHP developer Esperto accessibilità siti web E-mail: roberto(a)robertoburceni.it Phone: +393358208080 P.iva: 04025840986mbre per il mat

Correct way to filter auto-replies to list?
by Gary Holman 06 May '21

06 May '21

I have seen a few messages on this list regarding handling 'out of office' auto-replies. However I do not see a final resolution. What is the best practice to filter auto-replies to list: header filter or postfix milter-reject or something else? We are running dockerized Mailman 3 version 1.3.4. A list user auto-replied their vacation message to list and then the listserv created a chain-reaction of continuously replying to auto-replies by that user. There isn't really a good header option to filter from, as the subject seems to be randomized. For example: From <SENDER ADDRESS> Tue May 4 19:02:29 2021 From: Sender Name <SENDER ADDRESS> To: <LIST ADDRESS> Subject: [electronics-daq] Re: 25ad Date: Tue, 04 May 2021 20:59:57 +0200 Message-ID: <A2FB195E-5261-4F26-AF19-7AFE0B0632A5> In-Reply-To: =?utf-8?q?=3C0101017937874647-cf4b59ca-737e-4db0-9a01-85d9d43c8?= =?utf-8?q?d68-000000=40us-west-2=2Eamazonses=2Ecom=3E?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============7283775935526227777==" --===============7283775935526227777== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Thank you, Gary

Mailman 3 Web Application Startup Time or Availability - 502 Bad Gateway and Postorius
by summersan＠nclack.k12.or.us 03 May '21

03 May '21

Hello, I've been setting up a new Mailman 3 installation earlier this year, and I think things have been going okay so far. I've noticed, however, that after a long amount of time passes (for example, a weekend), when I try to visit the local Mailman 3 web application (e.g., example.mailman.site/mailman3/lists/, where it says "Postorius" at the top left corner of the page and shows a list of mailing lists in the body of the page), I sometimes get a 502 Bad Gateway type of error (referenced from my notes). As far as I can tell, this looks like a normal web server (nginx?) error. If I try visiting the Mailman 3 server location again in a web browser shortly thereafter, I still might get a 502 Bad Gateway error. If I wait a while longer (maybe a minute or more?), the Mailman 3 web application appears to load as expected. I've tried looking at the gunicorn documentation (https://docs.gunicorn.org/en/stable/index.html) and searching online (including in this Mailman3 mailing list) to see if there's something that can be done to fix this issue. The closest thing I can find for now is advice for something that, while possibly being technologically unrelated, includes the idea of "warmup requests", which makes me think of simply setting up some sort of script to periodically load a page on the Mailman 3 web application in order to keep it more available for visitors (https://stackoverflow.com/a/57056170). Is there a setting or something in any of the Mailman 3 related programs that could help with keeping the Mailman 3 web application up and running more often without having to resort to making an ongoing, automated request to the Mailman 3 web application? Thank you. * Note: "Mailman 3" terminology is referenced from this page: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/
