Time Zone Problem In Postorius
by Brian Carpenter 13 Jan '22

13 Jan '22

I have the server TZ set to EST. I have the TZ for Postfix set to EST. I have the following set in my settings_local.py file: TIME_ZONE = 'America/New_York' USE_TZ = True However messages showing up in the pending moderation queue box shows UTC date. I am seeing this behavior in Affinity as well so I figured it is either a Mailman core setting or perhaps database? Can anyone shed light on that? Brian

Questions regarding message acceptance
by Pawel Grzywaczewski 11 Jan '22

11 Jan '22

Hello, I have few questions regarding usage of Mailman3: 1) We have list1 and list2 with members. Can we specify that all members of list1 can post messages to list2? We could potentially write a script that would synchronize members of another list to “Accept these non-members” of another list, but with thousands of lists it will be difficult to maintain lists in synchro. So perhaps there is a concept of adding another list to “Accept these non-members” and mailman real-time evaluate membership of another list upon message arrival? 2) In explanation of “Accept these non-members” it’s written: “While non-regexp addresses can be entered here, it is preferred to add the address as a nonmember and set the nonmember's Moderation to Default Processing”. I noticed that if someone posts to a list then he is added automatically to non-members. Which means that next time he will be able to post. My understanding is that it’s better to use the feature “Accept these non-members”. Am I correct? Thank you, Paweł

Postorius & multi domain
by Gelpi Andrea 06 Jan '22

06 Jan '22

Hi, on a fresh debian 10 (mail server) I added mailman3 with: apt-get install mailman3-full dpkg-reconfigure mailman3 dpkg-reconfigure mailman3-web The server name is webserver-A Then I log in in webserver-A/mailman3 as a superuser I created a domain for webserver-A and domain-A The I created a list-A Then I created a second domain for webserver-B and domain-B Then I added to apache config a virtual host for webserver-B I log in webserver-B as the some superuser of webserver-A and I created a list-B But when I list the lists I can see both under webserver-A and webserver-B. The some problem with archiving hyperkitty. I search internet for a while and I discovered that using FILTER_VHOST = True seems to solve the problem. >From posotrius config page: FILTER_VHOST Filter the list of available lists in Postorius and Hyperkitty depending on the domain they are being currently served from. Mailman 3 supports multiple domains in a single installation. But it doesn't work. I got err 500 form apache. Were can I find an explanation or a how to configure the system to have 2 webserver with different domains working on the some server as it was with mailman 2? P.S.: I upgrade postorius to V. 1.3.2 and djando V 2.2.12 using the packages in testing distribution. The debian 10 official postorius package is too old (1.2.24) and does not support FILTER_VHOST Thanks in advance - -- Gelpi ing.

Postorius fails to show list because of a large message being held
by Gilles Filippini 22 Dec '21

22 Dec '21

Hi, Recently a member of one of our private lists sent a message with a picture attached. Because of the large message size (23MB) it was put into the moderation queue. But since then postorius fails to open the list's page with this error: Something went wrong Mailman REST API not available. Please start Mailman core. The database logs show that it processed a request related to the held message just before failing: LOG: statement: SELECT message.id AS message_id_1, message.message_id AS message_message_id, message.message_id_hash AS message_message_id_hash, message.path AS message_path FROM message WHERE message.message_id = '<CAEcCghAdp+20jiG19jNGX06xhJ-iYvZGyyV8b-toW7LqCSv5JQ(a)mail.gmail.com>' LIMIT 1 Mailman Core logs: [2020-07-14 10:41:21 +0000] [36] [CRITICAL] WORKER TIMEOUT (pid:49) [2020-07-14 10:41:21 +0000] [49] [INFO] Worker exiting (pid: 49) [2020-07-14 10:41:22 +0000] [50] [INFO] Booting worker with pid: 50 How should I proceed to unblock the situation? Thanks, _g.

Negative number for digest size
by Gila Halpern 19 Nov '21

If I set the digest size threshold to -1, will that make the digest size unlimited, and it will send once per period specified in the digest frequency setting?

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

Broken web interface Ubuntu 20.04
by Simon Brown 01 Oct '21

01 Oct '21

Hello, Whilst I wasn't looking something has broken the web interface to mailman on our list server. On the list index page I get the Postorius header, but no list index, instead a Page not found error. Curiously the Postorius header is also broken, the links point to https://host/mailman/(postorius/lists|hyperkitty) not https://host/mailman3/(postorius/lists|hyperkitty) like it should I've poked around and I can't find any useful errors and I don't know exactly when this happened, but I think it was this week. Mailman itself is running happily underneath. Any suggestions as to what might have gone wrong? Simon P.S. Hopefully I've got the right list this time. -- Simon Brown System Engineer EISCAT Scientific Association P. O. Box 812, SE-981 28 Kiruna, Sweden simon.brown(a)eiscat.se

Upgrading mailman 3 venv installation
by Morris Jones 30 Sep '21

30 Sep '21

Congratulations on the new release for Mailman 3 Core! I'm not a daily pip/python user, so I'm probably behind on the safe and proper way to update my installation (which is working pretty well). In my virtual environment, I ran `pip list -o` and got a significant list. I noticed that all of the mailman packages seemed to be "Type sdist" and the framework packages "Type wheel". (Dunno what "Type" means in this context.) So I tried `pip list -o | grep sdist` and got a smaller list: (venv) mailman@mail:~$ pip list -o | grep sdist atpublic 2.1.1 2.3 sdist django-allauth 0.43.0 0.45.0 sdist django-mailman3 1.3.4 1.3.7 sdist flufl.i18n 3.1.3 3.2 sdist flufl.lock 5.0.3 6.0 sdist HyperKitty 1.3.3 1.3.4 sdist lazr.config 2.2.2 2.2.3 sdist mailman 3.3.2 3.3.5 sdist mailmanclient 3.3.1 3.3.3 sdist mysqlclient 2.0.1 2.0.3 sdist postorius 1.3.3 1.3.6 sdist Is this a reasonable list of the packages that I should update? Are there framework updates I should be concerned with? I'm remembering that a specific non-current version of django was required for mailman. The one I have installed is 3.0.11, with 3.2.7 listed as Latest. My plan is to archive the virtualenv directory, upgrade the packages listed above. If something breaks, I should be able to restore the archived virtualenv. I'm running a single server, Ubuntu 18.04.6, with Zimbra running alongside.
