Hi all, I’m going to do a mailman2->3 migration in a FreeBSD jail. I installed mailman3 in an venv from pypi, along with nginx, uwsgi and exim. The above error happens when I try to open the base url of my server with a browser (is redirected to postorius/lists/) (no errors on admin/ and hyperkitty urls) Same passwords and users in mailman.cfg: [webservice] hostname: localhost port: 8001 use_https: no admin_user: restadmin admin_pass: ??? and in settings.py: MAILMAN_REST_API_URL = 'http://localhost:8001' MAILMAN_REST_API_USER = 'restadmin' MAILMAN_REST_API_PASS = ??? Its a long password, created as secret key by manage.py Axel --- PGP-Key: CDE74120 ☀ computing @ chaos claudius

One bounce, 5 bounce counts
by Henrik Rasmussen 13 Jan '22

13 Jan '22

I recently upgraded Mailman to GNU Mailman 3.3.4 (Tom Sawyer) that once again handles bounces. Thank you. In my setup, Mailman is with Maxking's Docker image maxking/mailman-core:0.3, and a Postfix outside Docker handling incoming and outgoing mails. Since the upgrade some list administrators have expectedly complained about every time they reenable subscribers, they are disabled again. I have explained to them why they are disabled and why they may be disabled again when re-disabled. My problem, though, is that some subscribers may be disabled even they are able to receive mails (confirmed with sendmail -bv), and I have been looking at one subscriber in particular. 1. Can there be (i'm not saying there are, maybe it's my lack of knowledge) somthing regarding Mailman? 2. And what would the appropeiate per list bounce settings, if not default? Actual example: * Mailman sent seemly 6 mails to a member on January 6th. * I see one bouce message D1426CE22A in Postfix log that was delivered back to Mailman * I see that Mailman is counting the bounce score from 1 to 5, one at the time, but that was day after receiving the bounce, and no other mails have been sent to the user on the 7th nor received as bounce on the 7th. I suspect that it must have been in the Postfix queue until then, but I wonder why that could be - but could be. * The bounce would be in the Postfix queue until sent to Mailman and thus removed from the Postfix queue. == /var/log/maillog == Jan 3 09:05:42 lstapp01pl postfix/smtp[10293]: EA1CC73105: to=recipient(a)example.com<mailto:heidi.ryssel@regionh.dk>, relay=rghhehspamfw001.regionh.dk[185.211.204.236]:25, delay=2.2, delays=0.14/0.03/0.1/1.9, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Ok: queued as 16A9084006E) Jan 3 11:27:35 lstapp01pl postfix/smtp[27118]: 0AD2F73117: to=recipient(a)example.com<mailto:heidi.ryssel@regionh.dk>, relay=rghhehspamfw002.regionh.dk[185.211.204.237]:25, delay=0.79, delays=0.14/0.03/0.15/0.47, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Ok: queued as C2CCDF20052) Jan 6 09:09:45 lstapp01pl postfix/smtp[2132]: EFAA673126: to=recipient(a)example.com<mailto:heidi.ryssel@regionh.dk>, relay=rghhvhspamfw002.regionh.dk[185.211.204.239]:25, delay=0.31, delays=0.09/0.01/0.07/0.14, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Ok: queued as 38094120005E) Jan 6 09:10:41 lstapp01pl postfix/smtp[2132]: 33F6373126: to=recipient(a)example.com<mailto:heidi.ryssel@regionh.dk>, relay=rghhehspamfw001.regionh.dk[185.211.204.236]:25, delay=0.35, delays=0.08/0/0.06/0.21, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Ok: queued as 86A0B840075) Jan 6 13:37:31 lstapp01pl postfix/qmgr[28946]: D1426CE22A: from=recipient(a)example.com<mailto:heidi.ryssel@regionh.dk>, size=11551, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jan 6 14:06:43 lstapp01pl postfix/smtp[16749]: 89A68D5699: to=recipient(a)example.com<mailto:heidi.ryssel@regionh.dk>, relay=rghhvhspamfw001.regionh.dk[185.211.204.238]:25, delay=0.35, delays=0.09/0/0.07/0.2, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Ok: queued as D97EC37C0072) Jan 6 15:04:23 lstapp01pl postfix/smtp[6124]: A46527312C: to=recipient(a)example.com<mailto:heidi.ryssel@regionh.dk>, relay=rghhehspamfw002.regionh.dk[185.211.204.237]:25, delay=0.65, delays=0.12/0.03/0.03/0.48, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Ok: queued as 44ABBF2008C) == /opt/mailman/var/logs/bounce.log == Jan 07 03:36:38 2022 (25) Member recipient(a)example.com<mailto:heidi.ryssel@regionh.dk> on list listname.lists.example.com, bounce score = 1.

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

Re: [Mailman-Users] Re: Member posting to a list but address not in membership list.

(please keep the thread on the list) Then the address that's posting isn't what you think it is or something in your installation is broken. As I said, it could be that Reply-To: or Sender: is the list member, but depending on list settings, these things get overwritten in mail from the list, so you can't really know. If something is broken, you need to discuss this with your hosting provider who, unfortunately, may be no help. Many, not all, cPanel hosts offer mailman because it comes with cPanel, but actually know nothing about Mailman.

Issues with international characters (replaced by ?) when mail is send as text/html
by Michal Soltys 12 Jan '22

12 Jan '22

Hi, I have noticed that any mail send with text/html, e.g. with following headers: Content-Language: en-US-large Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit is slightly transformed by mailman3 - the body is put into its own part, but all the international letters are replaced by question marks. Having searched the list I tried: 1) adding following to mailman.cfg: [language.master] description: English (USA) charset: utf-8 enabled: yes [language.en] description: English (USA) utf8 charset: utf-8 enabled: yes 2) changing preferred language of a mailing list to something else via shell, e.g.: m.preferred_language = 'pl' 3) changed default_language to 'pl' in mailman.cfg 4) Ensured all relevant glibc locales are generated (not sure if that matters though in this case) None of this seems to have any positive result - all mails, whether under 'pl' or 'en' setting still get all non-ascii chars replaced with question marks (in html case, probably(?) in any case where it becomes multipart). Any ideas what to do so html mails are passed without filtering out their characters ? Do I have to recreate all mailing lists under new [language.en/master] settings ?

Mailman3 is wrongly display name a list member
by Allan Hansen 11 Jan '22

11 Jan '22

All, I got an issue with one subscriber (multiple lists). When I subscribe 'A' <a(a)foo.com>, Mailman3 changes it to 'B' <a(a)foo.com>. I went into Django and added the name 'B' to the subscriber's account (the name was empty). I then unsubscribed <a(a)foo.com> from the lists and resubscribed 'A' <a(a)foo.com>. The subscription again lists as 'B' <a(a)foo.com>. This brings up a previous discussion of display names on this list, but I have not been able to find any solution to the need to change Mailman3's display names for a subscriber. It is beyond weird that unsubscribing, setting the account display name and resubscribing the member fishes back up the old and wrong display name. What can I do to help this member? Yours, Allan

Howto: Mass import of nonmembers in several lists?
by Paul Paulchen 11 Jan '22

11 Jan '22

Hi MM3 community, got a, perhaps easy question. Following situation, got 8 lists and up to 20 nonmember users missing to the list. The massimport with postorius is only for members, as far as I can use it (Postorius Version 1.3.4). So without adding all nonmembers with postorius step by step 8x20 times, there is an easier way to do it. I thought so, because the import21 command did this as well when we migrated to mailman3. I read about the command "mailman addmembers" https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/commands/d… I am guessing, that I need to create a file like in the example of the addmembers, adding all my nonmember users with their email addy. But how can I add/ tell the command in this massimport that the new members are nonmembers in the existing lists?! Hope I explained my case properly. I appreciate your responds! Thanks in advance. - Paul

Newbie hyperkitty question
by Stephen Daniel 11 Jan '22

11 Jan '22

Mailman users -- I am setting up a new mailman3 installation, and this is my first experience with the suite. All of the software is up and running, but I cannot tell if hyperkitty is actually running. When I look at my test mailing list, two archive options are available, hyperkitty and "prototype", and both are enabled. I can see that my email is being archived, but I think "prototype" is what is doing the archiving. I see that a test message will end up in /opt/mailman/mm/var/archives/prototype/<LISTNAME>@<LISTDOMAIN.org>/new/164.... and nowhere else. This suggests that "prototype" is archiving, but hyperkitty is not. So, this opens up a raft of questions on hyperkitty: - How do I tell if hyperkitty is actually running? - Does hyperkitty have a web-UI for admins or users? How would I access it? - I can not find any documentation on hyperkitty, other than installation instructions and change logs. Does documentation exist? - How do I set policies on how long archives are kept? - Assuming I want to back up my archives, what do I need to back up? Thanks for your help! -- Stephen Daniel

Only held_messages for 1 (of 3) list has "Mailman REST API not available" message.
by Duane Raymond 10 Jan '22

10 Jan '22

Hi everyone, Today my stable mailman3 server started having web access problems. It specifically applies to only one of three lists on the mailman server (one of the others use the same domain name) and only to the held_messages page as admin. It displays the "Mailman REST API not available..." message despite the other two lists displaying it fine. I've rebooted the server and mailman core, but the problem remains (which is what I've seen suggested on this forum for the same error message so far). I've been running a stable mailman3 server for the last 9 months and only updating the security patches for the the underling OS (Debian 10 with postgresql and nginx), I've encountered a problem that just seemed to appear today (wish no recent changes on the server). Any suggestions or diagnosis to resolve it? Duane
