Postorius & multi domain
by Gelpi Andrea Jan. 6, 2022

Jan. 6, 2022

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.

Hipperkitty failing to archive messages in a list
by Guillermo Hernandez (Oldno7) Jan. 6, 2022

Jan. 6, 2022

First of all, best wishes and Happy New Year for everybody. Two days ago I had to reinstall all mailman3 related apps in a mailman 3 server (I tried to upgrade just hipperkitty, but it went bad). At first, all seemed running as before, but I just noted that the messages are not being archived. I did not change any config. Now the log is showing ERROR 2022-01-03 12:22:15,654 7165 hyperkitty.views.mailman The MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_KEY was not sent as the Authorization HTTP header. ERROR 2022-01-03 12:22:15,674 7165 hyperkitty.views.mailman The MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_KEY was not sent as the Authorization HTTP header.

Re-enable member after bouce processed disable
by Henrik Rasmussen Jan. 5, 2022

Jan. 5, 2022

Recently I upgraded Mailman to GNU Mailman 3.3.4 (Tom Sawyer) (Postorius: 1.3.5 and HyperKitty: 1.3.4) which is now processing bounces. When a member have been disabled due to bounces, how is the member re-enabled? I would guess it would be under the "Users -> Members -> Member options -> Delivery status", but theses are both (Enabled and disabled) unchecked, not indicating whether or not the member is either or. How do I or the list admins re-enable a bounce-disabled member? Regards, Henrik

Healthchecks and Django
by Philip Colmer Jan. 5, 2022

Jan. 5, 2022

Hello We have a number of Mailman 3 servers running on AWS infrastructure. To help us maintain that, we're using Route 53 Health Checks to alert us when something stops responding. For the MM3 servers, we're probing "/mailman3/lists/". We've observed that when a server gets patched during a maintenance window, it will get rebooted and there is a phase where Django responds to web queries but the underlying MM3 services aren't quite in place yet. As a result, we then get emails from Django telling us about the service not being available. Given the number of AWS health checkers, that can result in quite a few emails ... Is there another URL we could use to check the health of a MM3 server without triggering the emails during service startup? Or, if not, is there a way of stopping Django from sending out the emails? We'd get alerted of a problem via AWS anyway, so I'm not too worried about not receiving the Django emails. Thank you. Philip

If you delete a list but not the HyperKitty archive
by Philip Colmer Jan. 5, 2022

Jan. 5, 2022

It seems that if you delete a list from the "Delete" option on a list's management page, the corresponding HyperKitty archive does not get deleted. That seems fair enough ... but now I wondering how HyperKitty manages visibility access to the archive when the list was private. HyperKitty certainly *seems* to have some knowledge of who was subscribed to a list as attempting to access a private archive with an account that wasn't subscribed prior to the list being deleted does deny access with "This mailing list is private. You must be subscribed to view the archives." But logging in as the server admin, going to the archive URL and then clicking on "Manage subscription" gives me a "Page not found" error ... which isn't too surprising as the list has been deleted. It suggests, though, that it isn't possible to manage access to the *archive* after the list has been removed. So ... should the archive be deleted when the list is deleted and it is a bug that it isn't? Or is it expected that access to the archive is "frozen" once a list is deleted? Many thanks. Philip

is there a mailman command/setting to periodically clean archives?
by William Oliver Jan. 4, 2022

Jan. 4, 2022

Thanks to everyone's help, mailman3 is up and running for me on two servers with three lists, and they all work as far as I can see. I'm sending out invitations to users tomorrow. Yayy. Up until today, I had been stuck using a plugin in Joomla, which was not the best solution. I'm tickled pink, and my users will be, too. Now I'm just playing and tinkering a bit. I'd like to delete all my archives that are more than a certain age, e.g. more than a week old. I can easily do that with a cron job, deleting old files in /opt/mailman/mm/var/archives/prototype/testlist(a)example.com/* which is, as far as I can see the only place archive emails live. However... I was wondering if there was some mailman command or config variable that would accomplish this without using cron. billo

Strange behaviour when SSL (https) is activated
by fr-mm3＠tourde.org Jan. 4, 2022

Jan. 4, 2022

Hi, I do a fresh install of Mailman3 and Mailman3-web on Debian 11 and all seems working fine using non-ssl access. But if I activate SSL on the web server, I'm unable to login. I go to the /admin, prompted for the user/pass, and got a Firefox error page saying "Échec de la connexion sécurisée". Main django account was created with: mailman-web createsuperuser --username XXXX --email xxxx(a)xxxx.xx extract of /var/log/mailman3/web/mailman-web.log : [pid: 103142|app: 0|req: 40/40] 192.168.200.252 () {48 vars in 1039 bytes} [Mon Jan 3 11:26:32 2022] GET /accounts/login/ => generated 9321 bytes in 37 msecs (HTTP/1.1 200) 7 headers in 429 bytes (1 switches on core 0) Mon Jan 3 11:26:40 2022 - uwsgi_response_write_headers_do(): Broken pipe [core/writer.c line 248] during POST /accounts/login/ (192.168.200.252) OSError: write error [pid: 103142|app: 0|req: 41/41] 192.168.200.252 () {54 vars in 1008 bytes} [Mon Jan 3 11:26:40 2022] POST /accounts/login/ => generated 0 bytes in 704 msecs (HTTP/1.1 302) 9 headers in 0 bytes (1 switches on core 1) All is working fine on non-ssl connection. Any hint appreciated ;)

HyperKitty failure
by horvath.arpad.szfvar＠gmail.com Jan. 2, 2022

Hi, I try to connect mailman3 to hyperkitty, but there is no success so far. You can see the details below. How can I solve the problem? As I have several domain name (like lists.xxx.hu, xxx.hu, yyy.hu) on the same server, so I guess localhost won't work.

signup / registration error - permissions and cert chains
by David Newman Jan. 1, 2022

Jan. 1, 2022

I'd like for regular (non-admin) list subscribers to be able to manage their subscription preferences and view list archives. However, when new users attempt to create logins from the Postorius "Sign Up" page, the server returns the error pasted below, and displays a "server error" page to users. If I'm reading the error correctly, this is related to an inability to verify the cert chain. The /etc/mailman3/settings.py file points to the same cert and key files used by Nginx, Postfix, and Dovecot. Since TLS works OK with these other services, it appears the cert and key are valid. (Viewing the cert in a web browser also supports this.) The keyfile has 0400 permissions. I tried changing this to 0640 and making the keyfile owned by root:mailman. Even after restarting mailman3 and mailmanweb the same error occurs. (Permissions in the cert and key directories and above are not blocking access.) The etc/mailman3/settings.py file includes these settings: EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' EMAIL_HOST = 'localhost' EMAIL_PORT = 25 EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'dnewman(a)networktest.com' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'wouldnt-you-like-to-know' EMAIL_USE_TLS = 'True' EMAIL_SSL_CERTFILE = '/etc/ssl/certs/myhost.crt' EMAIL_SSL_KEYFILE = '/etc/ssl/private/myhost.key' But this might only be for email, not Postorius/Django. I checked the Mailman Web docs and settings reference but didn't see anything relevant on either page. https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-web.html https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman-web/en/latest/settings.html What additional configuration is needed to allow regular users to create and manage their own accounts?
