UnpicklingError on mailman lists command
by Bryan Loniewski 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. Any guidance on further troubleshooting/debugging? Note that listing the members returns fine (at least for the handful of lists I just tested, i.e., /opt/mailman/mm/bin/mailman members bry_test(a)lists-test.rutgers.edu) $ /opt/mailman/mm/bin/mailman lists Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman", line 8, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 829, in __call__ return self.main(*args, **kwargs) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 782, in main rv = self.invoke(ctx) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/bin/mailman.py", line 68, in invoke return super().invoke(ctx) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 1259, in invoke return _process_result(sub_ctx.command.invoke(sub_ctx)) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 1066, in invoke return ctx.invoke(self.callback, **ctx.params) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 610, in invoke return callback(*args, **kwargs) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/decorators.py", line 21, in new_func return f(get_current_context(), *args, **kwargs) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/commands/cli_lists.py", line 78, in lists for mlist in list_manager.mailing_lists: File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/model/listmanager.py", line 100, in mailing_lists MailingList._list_id).all() File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sqlalchemy/orm/query.py", line 3246, in all return list(self) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sqlalchemy/orm/loading.py", line 101, in instances cursor.close() File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sqlalchemy/util/langhelpers.py", line 69, in __exit__ exc_value, with_traceback=exc_tb, File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sqlalchemy/util/compat.py", line 178, in raise_ raise exception File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sqlalchemy/orm/loading.py", line 81, in instances rows = [proc(row) for row in fetch] File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sqlalchemy/orm/loading.py", line 81, in <listcomp> rows = [proc(row) for row in fetch] File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sqlalchemy/orm/loading.py", line 589, in _instance populators, File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sqlalchemy/orm/loading.py", line 726, in _populate_full dict_[key] = getter(row) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sqlalchemy/sql/sqltypes.py", line 1708, in process return loads(value) _pickle.UnpicklingError: pickle data was truncated ________________________ Bryan Loniewski Rutgers University OIT:EAS:Messaging and Collaboration Services System Administrator

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

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?
