Mailman3 stopped working after Upgrade to Ubuntu 21.04
by Thomas Möhle Aug. 8, 2021

Aug. 8, 2021

Hey, I have set up mailman3 with mailman3-web on my mailserver and after upgrading to Ubuntu 21.04 my setup stopped working. I can see repeating log entries of mailman trying to reach something within hyperkitty and getting an error. The same constant repeating cycle of log entries is visible in my log files. I have attached my config files as well as the logfiles for mailman3 and mailman-web. As you can see, I'm not really getting many errors, yet within 5 seconds there are almost 2000 lines of log entries where mailman tries to reach something within hyperkitty over and over and over again. One thing I did to create an error message is start up both services, then edit a test list, that I created, in the web interface. This is the error you can find in the logs then: ERROR 2021-08-07 12:50:26,932 2343625 postorius Un-handled exception: HTTP Error 404: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 113, in _get_response response = wrapped_callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/views/generic/base.py", line 71, in view return self.dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/postorius/views/generic.py", line 74, in dispatch return super(MailingListView, self).dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/views/generic/base.py", line 97, in dispatch return handler(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/postorius/views/list.py", line 301, in get primary_email = set_preferred(request.user, mm_user) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/postorius/utils.py", line 77, in set_preferred mm_user.preferred_address = primary_email.email File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailmanclient/restobjects/user.py", line 57, in __setattr__ super(User, self).__setattr__(name, value) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/base.py", line 131, in __setattr__ return super(RESTObject, self).__setattr__(name, value) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailmanclient/restobjects/user.py", line 145, in preferred_address response, content = self._connection.call(url, {'email': email}) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/connection.py", line 127, in call raise HTTPError(url, response.status_code, urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: WARNING 2021-08-07 12:50:26,938 2343625 django.request Not Found: /mailman3/postorius/lists/test.lists.example.com/ Can anyone here help me debug this? I'm working on this problem for days now and can't seem to find a solution. Thanks so much in advance, Thomas

remove non members from a list
by Guillermo Hernandez (Oldno7) Aug. 6, 2021

Aug. 6, 2021

Hi all: I need to remove all non members from a list. I know I can do it via Postorius, but it has to be done one at a time. (you can delete ALL suscribers but not all non members...) Anyone has a python recipe to do this? I've been searching and googling but I cannot find the way of doing it safely. And via DDBB there are more than one table involved and I'd rather not mess it all... Thanks in advance

UnpicklingError on mailman lists command
by Bryan Loniewski Aug. 4, 2021

Aug. 4, 2021

Hi all -- I'm getting the error below when trying to exec the "mailman lists" command. I've turned debugging on within my test mailman.cfg like so... [database] class: mailman.database.mysql.MySQLDatabase <snip> debug: yes [logging.database] level: debug path: dbmailman.log and can see a lot of info including the row(s) with each lists data returned in dbmailman.log.

web api
by Ethan Furman Aug. 4, 2021

Aug. 4, 2021

Greetings again! Is there a remote API I can use to manage a list? One of the lists I manage has 1800 or so users, the vast majority of which have never posted, and I need to remove them (preferably not one by one). The list is meant to be actively used, so going forward I want to be able to unsubscribe anyone who hasn't posted in the last year. Both of those would be much more nicely done with a python script on my computer if I had a means to communicate with the mm3 server remotely. Any and all help appreciated! -- ~Ethan~

at the finish line of mailman3 docker, but can't sign in.
by bob B Aug. 2, 2021

Aug. 2, 2021

I am trying to setup mailman3 in docker and have some questions, I can see the finish line :) i hope. I start my images and I can access the web,http://Servername.domain.com/postorius/lists/ and no list are there of course, but How do i sign in? I click the forget link and I have to enter in a email address. I put in the email address I added to the docker-compose.yaml but that does not wrok. I have these setup in the .yaml file. MAILMAN_ADMIN_USER: The username for the admin user to be created by default. MAILMAN_ADMIN_EMAIL: The email for the admin user to be created by default. I found this url http://Servername.domain.com/admin/login However I never set a password and here is no forget button, Basically once I have docker installed, and mailman3 up and no lists are available, How do I setup or/and sign in as admin? Also In docker how can I test sending mail? the command "mailman-web sendtestemail youremailid@domain" from the mailman-web container does not work. How can I make sure my containers can send and receive mail?
