Ann: Mailman Core 3.3.5b1 is out
by Abhilash Raj 29 Sep '21

29 Sep '21

Hello Everyone, I am pleased to announce that Mailman Core 3.3.5b1 is now out. It is a pre-release for 3.3.5, which is slated to come out in 3 weeks from now. I am planning for a 2 week beta period, after which I'll release the first RC and then stable a week after. Right now I am not planning to release a second beta version, but if there are several changes in Core in the next week or so, then I might. This release includes a lot of bug fixes and some new features. It also includes a security enhancement that improves the authentication of REST API by adding resistance to some timing channel attacks. A full list of changes in this version can be found here[1]. [1]: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/NEWS.… We have also made improvements in the i18n workflow and now the email templates are updated from the translated messages in the .po files that we get from Weblate. Documentation for translators is available here[2] if you want to help translate Mailman into your native language. [2]: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/translation.html This is a pre-release version, if you want to test it with your setup, you can install it using: $ pip install --pre mailman==3.3.5b1 If you want to download a release tarball, you can do so from here: https://pypi.org/project/mailman/3.3.5b1/#files This release received a lot of contributions from community, which I am really happy about! I'd like to thank everyone who made this release possible! -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

Centralizing logging
by Odhiambo Washington 29 Sep '21

Hello crew, Installing Mailam3 on FreeBSD. In mailman.cgf, I have set: var_dir: /usr/local/mailman/var When I ran "mailman -C mailman.cgf info" it created the necessary directory tree. There is /usr/local/mailman/var/logs/ However, there is this process that *forced* me to create usr/local/mailman/*logs/mailmansuite.log *as opposed to it just writing to var/logs/ path above Is there a way to make it write its log $var_dir ? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft.", egrep -v '^$|^.*#' :-)

by Abhilash Raj 29 Sep '21

29 Sep '21

Hey Everyone, I am pleased to announce that Postorius 1.3.6b1 is now out. This is the first pre-release for 1.3.6, which is slated to release next week soon after Mailman Core 3.3.5 release. This release requires Mailman Core 3.3.5 release, so if you are trying out this release, please also upgrade Mailman Core to 3.3.5rc1 (which was just released today). This release includes several new features and bug fixes. A full list of changes is available here[1]. With this release, we have also improved on the localization of the interface, if you want to help out before the release of the stable 1.3.6, please see the instructions for translators here[2]. We use Weblate for translations, so if you are familiar with that, you can directly head over there[3]. Since this is a pre-release version, you can install this using pip via: $ pip install --upgrade --pre postorius django-mailman3 mailmanclient Please also ensure to run the post-install commands as per the upgrade documentation[4] (commands _after_ pip install, needs a post-install heading/anchor in there :-). A release tarball is available on PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/postorius/1.3.6b1/#files Finally, thanks to all the folks who helped with this release in any capacity and made it possible.

"this held message has been lost"
by Ethan Furman 29 Sep '21

29 Sep '21

I have now seen this message on two different occasions. Any ideas on what is happening? Happy to provide additional information if I am told what is needed (and how to get it -- I'm a web moderator for the list without access to the machine it runs on). :) -- ~Ethan~

DKIM and ARC - *anyone* got this working?
by Philip Colmer 28 Sep '21

28 Sep '21

Has anyone using Mailman 3 successfully got DKIM *and* ARC working? I don't mind which MTA you are using or which add-ons you are using to provide the support for DKIM and ARC. I'm just trying to see if there is actually anyone that has both pieces working. By working, I mean sending an email to a Mailman 3 list and receiving the email back from Mailman 3 and the receiving MTA confirms that both DKIM and ARC headers are valid. If you have got it working, please can you share which MTA you are using and the software you are using for DKIM and ARC. Thank you. Regards Philip

Language confusion in held mail notifications
by Henrik Rasmussen 28 Sep '21

28 Sep '21

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 23 Sep '21

23 Sep '21

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. [1]: https://asynchronous.in/docker-mailman/news/#upgrading-to-040-release [2]: https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/releases/tag/v0.4.0 [3]: https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/issues -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

disable body transcoding
by Markus Schaaf 23 Sep '21

23 Sep '21

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
