URL-lines in templates get folded
by Frank Steinberg Oct. 18, 2022

Oct. 18, 2022

Hi, I’ve added links to some templates to give owners and moderators shortcuts to the postorius UI for moderation tasks, e.g., I’ve added https://lists.xxx.de/postorius/lists/$list_id/held_messages <https://lists.xxx.de/postorius/lists/$list_id/held_messages> Unfortunately those lines seem to exceed a certain limit and get folded, so that they appear as, e.g. https://lists.xxx.de/postorius/lists/$list_id/held_ <https://lists.xxx.de/postorius/lists/$list_id/held_> messages (or similar) and are not directly useful. Do you have any suggestion for this situation?

I run mailman but do not admin the lists. Is there a way for me to see all the held messages for all the lists?

Upgrading packages
by Eggert Ehmke Oct. 13, 2022

Oct. 13, 2022

Hello Mark & all, I have the venv installation on my Debian 11 system running. I followed your suggestion to upgrade all packages. When upgrading hyperkitty by this command: pip install --upgrade git+https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty@master I noticed that mistune-2.0.0rc1 was upgraded to mistune-2.0.4. All packages were upgraded fine. I applied the patch to venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/hyperkitty/lib/renderer.py to change the mistune import line. When I run now mailman-web migrate I get: *CommandError: Conflicting migrations detected; multiple leaf nodes in the migration graph: (0017_auto_20220628_1132, 0018_alter_emailtemplate_language in postorius).* *To fix them run 'python manage.py makemigrations --merge'* However, when I run the suggested command as: $ python ./venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/mailman_web/manage.py makemigrations -- merge No conflicts detected to merge. Can I just ignore this behavior? At the moment, I don't dare to carry out these steps on my production system. Would be nice to shed some light on this. Eggert

Debian 11 mailman3 installation question
by William Oliver Oct. 13, 2022

Oct. 13, 2022

I have had an installation of mailman3 running for a year or so with no problems. This was a manual installation. I ended up having to change machines, so I decided to install using the debian 11 package. It seems to have gone well except.... when I restart mailman3 service, I get the following fail and error message: oot@emergenis:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled# systemctl restart mailman3 Job for mailman3.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mailman3.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. root@emergenis:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled# systemctl status mailman3 ● mailman3.service - Mailman3 server Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mailman3.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2022-10-11 15:09:45 EDT; 8s ago Docs: man:mailman(1) https://mailman.readthedocs.io/ Process: 1056 ExecStart=/usr/bin/mailman -C /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg start --force (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) CPU: 9.193s Oct 11 15:09:43 emergenis.com mailman3[1056]: File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/commands/cli_control.py", line 109, in start Oct 11 15:09:43 emergenis.com mailman3[1056]: call_name(config.mta.incoming).regenerate() Oct 11 15:09:43 emergenis.com mailman3[1056]: File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/mta/postfix.py", line 133, in regenerate Oct 11 15:09:43 emergenis.com mailman3[1056]: raise RuntimeError(NL.join(errors)) Oct 11 15:09:43 emergenis.com mailman3[1056]: RuntimeError: command failure: /usr/sbin/postmap /var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_lmtp, 1, Operation not permitted Oct 11 15:09:43 emergenis.com mailman3[1056]: command failure: /usr/sbin/postmap /var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_domains, 1, Operation not permitted Oct 11 15:09:45 emergenis.com systemd[1]: mailman3.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Oct 11 15:09:45 emergenis.com systemd[1]: mailman3.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

I assume there's some posfix config I haven't done right, but I am clueless as to what it is. Thanks in advance for any pointers. billo

Oct. 12, 2022

Hi, Where and how do I set the default setting of "Delivery status" to be "Enabled". I'm not seeing any clues in mailman3-web/settings.py At the moment, a new subscriber is neither "Enabled" or "Disabled". Thanks, Mark

Performance issues with Mailman 3
by Wong, Wesley Oct. 8, 2022

Oct. 8, 2022

Hi, I am having some performance problems with Mailman 3 (version 3.3.5) when it sends out a lot of messages to people. We recently migrated from our old Mailman 2.1.x system to Mailman 3.x about 3 months ago. We host about 350 lists with membership counts varying between 10 to 1500 members on some of the lists. I noticed that outbound messages from Mailman to our outbound SMTP are getting delayed up to an hour when Mailman is processing a lot of messages going to lists. I was wondering if there are good performance tuning tips to be considered for Mailman 3 (i.e. OS, database and/os Mailman Core). I am running the setup on a VM. Here is my configuration for VM and OS: VM config: ESX 6.7 (CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6242) 4 CPU 8 GB SLES 15 SP3 Python 3.9.10 MariaDB 10.5.17 Mailman 3.3.5 Thanks. wesley Wesley Wong Senior Systems Engineer Anderson Computing & Information Services | ACIS 310-206-2571 [ucla-logo---new_smaller] ___________________________________________ Mailman's content filtering has removed the following MIME parts from this message.

Mailman2 CLI commands for Mailman3
by Dave Hall Oct. 5, 2022

Oct. 5, 2022

Hello. Sorry if this is an old topic. I'm in the process of migrating from 2.1 to 3.2. In my use case one of the advantages of Mailman 2.1 vs services like Google Groups has been the ability to manage lists from the command line. Things like using sync_members to update the list for a committee when the membership of the committee is updated one a year, or like using find_members and remove_members to remove a user from all mailing lists when they leave the organization. Even the ability to script mailing list creation. So far I haven't found these commands in Mailman3. I hope there is a plan to add these soon. Thanks. -Dave -- Dave Hall Binghamton University kdhall(a)binghamton.edu

Django site - how to create programmatically - new install
by daniel.botting＠codethink.co.uk Oct. 3, 2022

Oct. 3, 2022

Hi all, I've mainly setup mailman3 to replace our mailman 2.1 install using Ansible, a point I could do with some assistance on is setting the fqdn used programmatically. I've been doing alot of reading before creating this thread. To create a domain I currently navigate to: https://serverfqdn.com/postorius/domains/ and click 'Add Domain'. I believe this is setting the name of the Django site, please accept my apologies if I'm wrong and the SITE_ID=1 is then used, I am only planning to use one domain only. I'm using Postgres and when I check the contents of the Django_mailman3_maildomain table as below afterwards: mailman3web=# TABLE django_mailman3_maildomain; id | mail_domain | site_id ----+--------------------------------------+--------- 1 | mailman3-test2.guest.codethink.co.uk | 1 Many thanks Daniel

Upgrade Mailmam Core from
by sascha.rissel＠gmail.com Oct. 3, 2022

Oct. 3, 2022

Hello, I have newly set up Mailman 3 on Ubuntu 20.04. Sending and receiving mails between list members does work, but I am currently experiencing two issues: 1) a lists non-members who send mails to the list don't get notified about the message being held for moderation. Moderation itself doesn't seem to work. The moderation list is always empty. 2) Archiving is activated within list settings, but there isn't any archive created. I found this thread, where the first of these issues is also described: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… Here there is an incompatibility between Mailmain 3 and Python depicted, which also seems to affect me. I am running Mailman 3.2.2 on Python 3 .8.10. So I need to either upgrade Mailman Core or downgrade Python. I already did > apt-get upgrade > apt-get update Unfortunately this didn't upgrade Mailman Core's version. Which steps do I have to undertake to upgrade Mailman Core? Regards, Sascha.
