Question about adding addresses using the REST API
by Stephen Daniel Jan. 16, 2022

Jan. 16, 2022

Mailman3 experts -- It is clear from many aspects of the documentation that mailman3 may have addresses in its database that are not connected to any user. I would like to create such addresses using the REST API. The REST API documentation does not suggest this is possible, nor does trying an obvious POST request to the addresses collection work (returns a 405 error). The only way I've found to create addresses with the REST API is to create users. The only way I've found to create a standalone address (not linked to any user) is to create a user with that address, unlink the address, then delete the user. Is there a more straightforward way to just create an address with no user? Thanks! -- Stephen Daniel

nginx configuration on a multitasking server
by David Newman Jan. 16, 2022

Jan. 16, 2022

Couple of questions about the sample nginx configuration given in the venv doc and the Mailman Mailman Suite Documentation v. 3.3 PDF: server { listen 443 ssl default_server; listen [::]:443 ssl default_server; server_name MY_SERVER_NAME; location /static/ { alias /opt/mailman/web/static/; } location / { proxy_pass 127.0.0.1:8000; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; } ssl_certificate /path-to-ssl-certs/cert.pem; ssl_certificate_key /path-to-ssl-certs/privkey.pem; } 1. At least on my system, the proxy_pass statement will only run without errors if I change this to a fully formed URL, e.g., 'proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000'. Is this a typo in the docs? 2. What document root(s) and alias(es) to use for Postorius and Hyperkitty and the Django admin on a server that also runs other services (e.g., Postfix for non-list mail and Roundcubemail)? With MM2, I use location statements with their own root and aliases: location /mailman { root /usr/lib/cgi-bin; fastcgi_split_path_info (^/mailman/[^/]+)(/.*)$; fastcgi_pass unix:///var/run/fcgiwrap.socket; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME \ $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info; } location /images/mailman { alias /var/lib/mailman/icons; } location /icons { alias /var/lib/mailman/icons; } location /pipermail { alias /var/lib/mailman/archives/public; autoindex on; } What is the MM3 equivalent way to do this? I think root would be somewhere under /opt/mailman but don't know exactly where, or which locations to point to. Many thanks! dn

under which uid should uwsgi/manage.py run?
by Axel Rau Jan. 14, 2022

Jan. 14, 2022

My current setup has uid = www gid = www in uwsgi.ini For DB access, I’m using client certs, where the key is only readable for owner, so I have 2 cert locations. One is configured in settings per OPTIONS in DATABASES The other uses the default location .postgresql und the mailman home. Looking at var, I see: (mailman_33) [root@lists5 /usr/local/mailman3/var]# ls -l total 46 drwxr-xr-x 2 mailman www 2 13 Jan. 17:32 archives drwxr-xr-x 2 mailman www 2 13 Jan. 17:32 cache drwxr-xr-x 2 mailman www 2 13 Jan. 17:32 data drwxr-xr-x 2 root www 4 13 Jan. 17:32 etc drwxr-xr-x 3 mailman www 3 13 Jan. 22:22 lists drwxr-xr-x 2 mailman www 4 14 Jan. 10:02 locks drwxr-xr-x 2 mailman www 7 13 Jan. 17:32 logs -rw-rw---- 1 mailman www 6 13 Jan. 17:32 master.pid drwxr-xr-x 2 mailman www 2 13 Jan. 17:32 messages drwxr-xr-x 14 mailman www 14 13 Jan. 17:32 queue drwxr-xr-x 2 mailman www 2 13 Jan. 17:32 templates I could allow write access for group www, but I suspect other problems.

Issues with importing archives from a particular list
by Prasanth Nair Jan. 14, 2022

Jan. 14, 2022

Hello, We are trying to import archives from Mailman2 to Mailman3. For a particular list, it is not importing all of the messages. We can see that Mailman2 has archives from 2015 to 2022. But, it only imports messages from 2018 to 2022 to the Mailman3 server. It was not giving any errors while importing. All other lists are imported successfully. Any idea what was causing the problem? Kind regards, Prasanth

REST API authorization failed
by Axel Rau Jan. 13, 2022

Jan. 13, 2022

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 Jan. 13, 2022

Jan. 13, 2022

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 Jan. 13, 2022

Jan. 13, 2022

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

(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.

Issues with international characters (replaced by ?) when mail is send as text/html
by Michal Soltys Jan. 12, 2022

Jan. 12, 2022

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 Jan. 11, 2022

Jan. 11, 2022

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
