How to change the language in mailman3
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

Error when disabling signup
by Rainer Herbst Aug. 17, 2021

Aug. 17, 2021

Dear all, over the last couple of weeks, I have installed and configured mailman3 using the docker containers. It took me some time, but now it works quite well. At last, I wanted to disable the sign-up because only LDAP users should be able to login. As described in django_mailman3/views/user_adapter.py, I added the following line to my settings_local.py: ACCOUNT_ADAPTER = 'django_mailman3.views.user_adapter.DisableSignupAdapter' After that, an error is thrown: ModuleNotFoundError at /accounts/login/ No module named 'django_mailman3.views.user_adapter' What could be the reason for that and how to solve it? Thanks in advance! Rainer Here is the traceback: Environment: Request Method: GET Request URL: https://mailman.aip.de:1443/accounts/login/?next=%2Faccounts%2Flogin%2F Django Version: 2.2.19 Python Version: 3.8.5 Installed Applications: ['hyperkitty', 'postorius', 'django_mailman3', 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.sites', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', 'rest_framework', 'django_gravatar', 'compressor', 'haystack', 'django_extensions', 'django_q', 'allauth', 'allauth.account', 'allauth.socialaccount'] Installed Middleware: ('django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware', 'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware', 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware', 'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware', 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware', 'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware', 'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware', 'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware', 'django_mailman3.middleware.TimezoneMiddleware', 'postorius.middleware.PostoriusMiddleware') Traceback: File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/handlers/exception.py" in inner 34. response = get_response(request) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py" in _get_response 115. response = self.process_exception_by_middleware(e, request) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py" in _get_response 113. response = wrapped_callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/views/generic/base.py" in view 71. return self.dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/utils/decorators.py" in _wrapper 45. return bound_method(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/views/decorators/debug.py" in sensitive_post_parameters_wrapper 76. return view(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/allauth/account/views.py" in dispatch 146. return super(LoginView, self).dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/allauth/account/views.py" in dispatch 74. response = super(RedirectAuthenticatedUserMixin, self).dispatch( File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/views/generic/base.py" in dispatch 97. return handler(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/allauth/account/views.py" in get 90. response = super(AjaxCapableProcessFormViewMixin, self).get( File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/views/generic/edit.py" in get 133. return self.render_to_response(self.get_context_data()) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/allauth/account/views.py" in get_context_data 173. signup_url = passthrough_next_redirect_url( File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/allauth/account/utils.py" in passthrough_next_redirect_url 444. next_url = get_next_redirect_url(request, redirect_field_name) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/allauth/account/utils.py" in get_next_redirect_url 45. if not get_adapter(request).is_safe_url(redirect_to): File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/allauth/account/adapter.py" in get_adapter 535. return import_attribute(app_settings.ADAPTER)(request) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/allauth/utils.py" in import_attribute 155. ret = getattr(importlib.import_module(pkg), attr) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/importlib/__init__.py" in import_module 127. return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>" in _gcd_import 1014. <source code not available> File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>" in _find_and_load 991. <source code not available> File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>" in _find_and_load_unlocked 973. <source code not available> Exception Type: ModuleNotFoundError at /accounts/login/ Exception Value: No module named 'django_mailman3.views.user_adapter' Viele Grüße, Rainer Herbst Leiter IT-Service Phone: +49 331 7499-257 e-mail: rainer.herbst(a)aip.de https://www.aip.de ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leibniz-Institut für Astrophysik Potsdam (AIP) An der Sternwarte 16, 14482 Potsdam Vorstand: Prof. Dr. Matthias Steinmetz, Wolfram Rosenbach Stiftung bürgerlichen Rechts Stiftungsverzeichnis Brandenburg: 26 742-00/7026 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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?

Avoiding non-members to be saved.
by Guillermo Hernandez (Oldno7) Aug. 9, 2021

Aug. 9, 2021

Hi all: Yesterday I had a problem with a private list. A spammer sent a mail forging one address that was a non-member (in fact was an "accept this no subscriber mails" from mailman 2.1 import) with very bad intentions and it was distributed. There were no list of "accept this non members" in the Postorius config (but I'm sure that that address was "accepted" in 2.1). To avoid this from any other non member address I deleted ALL non-members. I think it is solved now (deleting all and putting to hold just the non-members addresses that I would want to pass messages on) The fact is that any sender address of mails sent to the list is saved as a "non member", and it make me nervous as it will grow despite it is a legitimate message or not. Anybody knows if there is a per list config to avoid saving all that addresses as non members? o a overall config? I couldn't find anything about this in the config pages (or googling it) Thanks in advance. --

I need professional help to get virtualenv Mailman3 installation running
by John Seifarth Aug. 9, 2021

Aug. 9, 2021

Hello, I have been running Linux mailman2 servers for about 10 years, and sendmail/postfix servers for over 20 years. I have a client who wants to upgrade to Mailman 3 from their current Mailman2 system. I wanted to avoid the disruption of an upgrade, so I implemented a series of test servers with different names (leaving the mailman2 server in production at its historical address) running Ubuntu 18 and Ubuntu 20, using the mailman3 packages (3.1and 3.2 respectively). I sort of got it running with mailman 3.2 on Ubuntu 20, but couldn’t get Hyperkitty archiving to work. Plus the fact that mail bounce handling isn’t implemented prior to mailman 3.3.2, I decided to install the latest mailman version available in a venv environment, using the instructions at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html I followed the instructions carefully using the same paths, and tracked down and fixed errors as each step progressed. I finally set up a WSGI server according to the instructions, searched for and found (fragmentary) instructions for setting up the Apache configuration, started the mailman3 and mailman web services, and now have no errors in the /opt/mailman/web/logs files, the /var/log/apache files, and in syslog. But when I try to connect via the Web, I get the message "Server error An error occurred while processing your request.” in my browser. No other clues. I’m completely stuck, and I need help to conclude this rapidly, the client really needs the new service up and running ASAP. I’m at the limit of my competence. I’ve been learning Python on and off (insufficient available time), and I installed Django and ran the tutorials. I still am woefully unskilled in the subtleties of a complex Python project like Mailman/Posterious/Hyperkitty, and I really need the help of an expert who can log into the server and see for themselves where the problem(s) are, and fix them. What I need is an experienced Python programmer, who has installed, run, and upgraded venv mailman3 installations. Of course, I will pay for this expertise, and charge it to the end client. In other words, I will pay you directly, and then I will worry about getting paid myself later. I am ready to pay €60/h for your skills, paid directly to your bank account, after receipt of your invoice. It shouldn’t be all that much work, since everything has been installed according to instructions, I’m just not a good enough Python programmer to get all the parts to work together correctly. It’s important to note that the end client is an organisation of European political parties, the virtual machine running the Ubuntu 20 server is hosted at OVH in France. Thus the professional with whom I would work should preferably also be based in the EU, and subject to EU law. Practically speaking, if anyone is interested, please send me a direct email with your email address and phone number, and then we can discuss how to do this practically in terms of SSH access, passwords, etc. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope some Python Mailman pro can come to my aid.

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?

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
