Language confusion in held mail notifications
by Henrik Rasmussen Sept. 28, 2021

Sept. 28, 2021

I just upgraded from Mailman 3.2.0 (La Villa Strangiato) to Mailman 3.3.4 (Tom Sawyer) - Docker Mailman v0.3.12. As the language is not possible to set, and the default language is English, I set my user profile to Spanish and the list config to German, to figure out where the changes would take affect. After sending a mail to the list as the moderated list user, the resulting notification returned to the users email address is mostly in German, but the reason indicated is in Spanish "El mensaje proviene de un miembro moderado". > Ihre Nachricht an 'testlist@mailman' mit dem Betreff > > Test 202109221045 > > wurde zurückgehalten, bis eine Moderator*in sie freigegeben hat. > > Der Grund dafür ist: > > El mensaje proviene de un miembro moderado > > Ihre Nachricht wird entweder an die Liste zugestellt, oder Sie werden > über die die Entscheidung der Moderator*innen benachrichtigt. I would expect that Mailman would respect the user's language setting (in case the user have a profile) or otherwise the list language setting (if no user profile). /Henrik Rasmussen

Docker-mailman 0.4.0 release
by Abhilash Raj Sept. 23, 2021

Sept. 23, 2021

Hey Everyone, I tagged and released 0.4.0 version of container images for Mailman. This release includes several fixes that have been accumulating in the repo for how Mailman is setup in the containers. This release does not include any mailman component version bump from 0.3.12 release. More specifically, the major change is that we no longer require static IP configuration in the container images (like previously) and can handle dynamic addresses that are allocated to the containers by Docker. This should help simplify the setup for folks using Kubernetes or other setup than the provided docker-compose files. The migration steps are documented here[1]. Please checkout the release in Github[2] for more details on the changes made in this release. If you are having issues with upgrading your setup to this release, please open an issue on the issue tracker[3] for help.

disable body transcoding
by Markus Schaaf Sept. 23, 2021

Sept. 23, 2021

Hi, I have disabled all message modifications and filtering from within the webUI, and created empty header and footer template files. Still, some list messages get their body encoding changed to base64, breaking DKIM. What can I do to prevent this? (I'm a newbie to mailman3, so please give somewhat complete commands. I have read other threads with similar questions, but did not understand some shortened configuration commands.) BR

Username being set to givenname for socialaccount login
by cfarley＠iastate.edu Sept. 22, 2021

Sept. 22, 2021

I have a new mailman3 install setup with Okta as a social application. This is working well for logins and data comes through as expected, but for some reason the username is being set at to a lowercase version of the given_name. The Extra data on the social users in the admin interface looks good, so I don’t think it’s a problem with the attributes coming from Okta. We have tried a number of variations on the below setting, but that all of them other than the default of “username” end up with the username being empty. ACCOUNT_USER_MODEL_USERNAME_FIELD = “email” Any direction would be welcome. Thank you!

Django primer for Mailman admins
by Abhilash Raj Sept. 20, 2021

Sept. 20, 2021

Hey Everyone, This weekend I wrote some documentation[1] that I thought would be useful for Mailman admins when dealing with Django, since it is a frequent topic on -users list. The intent was to add only required information for admins to work with Mailman installs and provide enough pointers to right places, wherein more information can be found instead of duplicating them in Mailman's docs since it it often goes stale. Since the most common theme of questions are configuration (settings), management commands and deployment (running), I distributed the whole page in those three sections. If you as a system admin had to spend some time figuring out certain things about Django, it would be good to respond on this thread or just open a MR with additions to the page[1]. [1]: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/django-primer.html I also made a small architecture diagram of the various components in a typical Mailman 3 install[2] since we didn't had any such existing diagram. Suggestions to this are also welcome. [2]: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/architecture.html -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

Mailman3 subscribe over command line
by tibor.molnar＠waltoninstitute.ie Sept. 20, 2021

Sept. 20, 2021

I would be looking to be able to subscribe people to multiple lists through command line. Mailman 2.1 did have an add_members script we used but I'm not able to use this module in mailman3. Can anyone suggest a script or approach to this issue? Thank you, Tibor

very few moderation capabilities for moderators
by Guillermo Hernandez (Oldno7) Sept. 19, 2021

Sept. 19, 2021

Hi all: I need to provide the list moderators a way to change the moderation flag for users from whichever it is (normally "list default processing") to "hold for moderation" and viceversa (to "list default" or to "accept") I understand that it could be done via console script (That's the way I did on mailman2: I made two commands using "withlist", one to hold, moderar.py, and other one to accept, desmoderar.py. I show you below) But I think I'm not the only one that could use as an improvement a way to do this on postorius/web. Before to trying implementing them on mailman3, I beg you to tell me if they could do that on mailman3. Thanks in advance. ****************** (moderar.py) #! /usr/local/bin/python # # script via withlist para moderar a pelo # """moderar un miembro. Save as bin/moderar.py Run via bin/withlist -r moderar <listname> <member> """ from Mailman import mm_cfg def moderar(mlist, member): if not mlist.Locked(): mlist.Lock() mlist.setMemberOption(member, mm_cfg.Moderate, True) mlist.Save() mlist.Unlock() ****************** (desmoderar.py) #! /usr/local/bin/python # # script via withlist para desmoderar un miembro # """desmoderar un miembro. Save as bin/desmoderar.py Run via bin/withlist -r desmoderar <listname> <member> """ from Mailman import mm_cfg def desmoderar(mlist, member): if not mlist.Locked(): mlist.Lock() mlist.setMemberOption(member, mm_cfg.Moderate, False) mlist.Save() mlist.Unlock() --

mm3mod: command line moderation tool
by David Bremner Sept. 18, 2021

Sept. 18, 2021

Because we're not running postorius, and the moderate-by-mail change is not available in the older version of mailman3 we're running, I needed a tool to moderate lists from the command line. I found mailman-tools, but wasn't able to get them working with python3, so I started from scratch. Maybe someone else will find it useful https://git.tethera.net/mm3mod.git/about/ It's a work in progress, but I am running the version from that repo in production. Like any program using the REST interface, in principle this has complete administrator access to your mailman site, so you need to to trust both this code and the users you let run it. I do run it in "kiosk mode" via ssh command="/home/listmod/.local/bin/mm3mod" ssh-rsa blahblah in .ssh/authorized_keys. This is more of a keeping-honest-people-honest kind of thing.

Controlling Mailman3 from the Linux commandline
by Allan Hansen Sept. 18, 2021

Sept. 18, 2021

All, Not versed in Python, I found using the Python gateway to Mailman3 commands rather cumbersome for the few and very simple interactions I have with the shell. So I implemented a set of .bash scripts that I use instead. They all have this from, where the last part is the Mailman shell command (in this case the command for adding members in file $1 to the list $2). #!/bin/bash exec /opt/mailman/mm/venv/bin/mailman -C "/opt/mailman/mm/mailman.cfg" members --addmembers $1 $2 To invoke it: . addMembers.bash <FILE_OF_EMAIL> <listname> I have other scripts for commands such as: List all lists List all members on all lists (with a sort -u) Send an email with a given list's members to a given address Delete members from a list Delete members from all lists Help Count members on a list Note the one that sends the member list to a given email address. It does this: #!/bin/bash exec /opt/mailman/mm/venv/bin/mailman -C "/opt/mailman/mm/mailman.cfg" members $2 |grep -v -e "has no members"|sed -e 's/.*/\L&/'|mailx --subject=$2 $1 This one I use a lot because the system has a bug that does not allow moderators to see the list of members on the list they are supposed to moderate. My lists are set up to allow this, but it does not work. The moderators send me an email with the request, I log on and run this script. I hope this is helpful. Yours, Allan
