Moderation Action Changed After Import
by Brian Carpenter 12 Nov '21

12 Nov '21

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

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 11 Aug '21

11 Aug '21

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 13 Jul '21

13 Jul '21

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 07 Jul '21

07 Jul '21

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...

Hi Mark, We are facing the same issue. My postgres database is growing too fast and I would need to do some creaning of old archives dated from 2001 and keep only the last, lets say... 5 years. Could you please help us with the development of such a script? I have no experience in python. Thanks a lot in advance, Lucia

I do not have a list named "MailingList".

Hi Joel, I know it's been a while since you found your work around but can you give the exact steps prior to the update SQL commands you provided? I am getting a syntax error on the first one and I have not been able to figure out how to move forward.

Help with some 'withlist' configuration changes
by David Partain 23 Jun '21

23 Jun '21

Hi, Firstly, a repeat that I have a relatively broken (and soon to be fixed, I hope) installation of mailman3 based on Ubuntu 18.04 distrib packages (3.1.1-9) that stumbles along by me dealing with a bunch of things by hand that I hope'll go away once I'm up to the current version. In this set-up, I get a fair number of items shunted. Since I have this wonky version where stuff isn't always exposed in the web interface, I have to fix these things by hand. An example is that something gets shunted because of too many recipients, where I do: sudo -u list mailman withlist somemailmanlist m.max_num_recipients = 0 commit() sudo -u list mailman unshunt I've managed to find a number of these, such as m.max_message_size, m.require_explicit_destination, and m.administrivia. My questions are undoubtedly foolish, but here goes: 1. Is there any way to print the entire 'm' structure? If so, I'd perhaps be able to figure out the answers to my other questions. 2. Is there a way for me to correct the following shunt-ing issues with 'withlist'? I've been unable to figure out how... a. 'moderation_reasons': [ 'Message has no subject'] / 'rule_hits': ['no-subject'] b. Some things get caught as 'rule_hits': ['nonmember-moderation']. However, if I look in the (web-based) config, it shows that non-members should be accepted but the messages are shunted nonetheless. I don't know what to look for in 'm' or how I might clear these messages. 3. I have no idea what these are telling me to do about digest messages. Suggestions? This is the entire info I get from 'mailman qfile': ------------------------------------------------------snip snip---------------------------------------------- [----- start pickle -----] <----- start object 1 -----> <----- start object 2 -----> { '_parsemsg': False, 'digest_number': 457, 'digest_path': '/var/lib/mailman3/lists/somelist/digest.31.457.mmdf', 'lang': 'en', 'listid': 'somelistid', 'version': 3, 'volume': 31, 'whichq': 'digest'} [----- end pickle -----] ------------------------------------------------------snip snip---------------------------------------------- 4. I have some that have 'rule_hits': [] (it's empty) but are shunted nonetheless. I can't see anything weird other than one of the messages has a utf-8 subject. Any ideas? 5. Some messages that were sent to -request addresses (e.g., subscribe messages, confirm, approve messages) are being shunted. What should I do with these? Thanks for your patience. Cheers, David
