Moderate first postings of new members
by c.buhtz＠posteo.jp 03 Nov '22

Hi, I'm looking for a feature but not sure if I missed it or if it isn't really there. By default, I accept all messages of list members without moderating them. What I want is that I would like to moderate the messages of new subscribed members until I set them to auto-accept all messages. I want to see what a new member is posting before it is send/accepted to the list. Is this possible? Kind Christian

Mailman upgrade results in page not found error
by Andrew Hodgson 03 Nov '22

Hi. Just doing the Mailman suite upgrade on my small installation I use for test purposes. Steps include: Run backup script Stop services Mv venv venv-old python3 -m venv --system-site-packages --symlinks venv source venv/bin/activate pip install -U pip pip install mailman mailman-hyperkitty hyperkitty postorius whoosh deactivate ./bin/Django-admin collectstatic ./bin/Django-admin migrate At this step I got an error regarding the import of URLs, a quick Google suggested this was because the new venv has upgraded to Django 4.0. I downloaded the urls.py from the mailman-web Git repo (I should migrate to this at some point I know) and replaced my version with this one. This allowed the migrate to run correctly. Once services were up everything worked as expected except for the web page. If you go to https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org you get a Postorius page not found error, however if you click on the Mailman logo you get to the correct place. I think this is a problem with the new urls.py I downloaded, what is the best way to restore the old behaviour of having https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org going to the correct place?

How to add new lists?
by fstltna＠yahoo.com 03 Nov '22

03 Nov '22

I have been able to get the web interface up and the default "mailman@" address is there and appears in the list of lists, but when I add a list from the command line with a command like "mailman create foo(a)ourlists.gameplayer.club" it does not return a error and using "mailman lists" lists it as existing. However there is no new entries in the /etc/aliases file and the new list doesn't appear in the web interface... Any ideas?

Adding list via web form

Trying to add a list using the web form but I get this: "Error: You are not authorized to create new mailing lists". Do I need to log in somewhere? I thought I was logged in as admin but maybe not?

Start a new thread and Reply buttons don't work on web interface
by mcashdollar＠anl.gov 01 Nov '22

Hi, I'm planning on upgrading some of our mailing lists from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3. I setup a test server to try Mailman 3. I notice that when I go to "Archives" in the web interface and choose "Start a new thread" or "Reply" to post a message on my test list, it says successful, but the message never shows up. Looking at the logs, I don't see any errors. I can see the HTTP POST in the log and it seems like everything works: [pid: 70249|app: 0|req: 41/93] 127.0.0.1 () {46 vars in 1223 bytes} [Tue Nov 1 21:03:25 2022] POST /archives/list/discuss(a)lists.chicagohpc.org/message/ATXUU5VT NBT6TIF72T7WNNHDIJNOROIF/reply => generated 949 bytes in 104 msecs (HTTP/1.0 200) 8 headers in 258 bytes (1 switches on core 1) I'm using nginx as the http server. location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; } location /static/ { alias /opt/mailman/web/static/; autoindex off; } Does anyone have an idea of why posting messages from the web interface never shows up? I turned on all the debug logs but can't find an error. Thanks

No DBA password when installing Mailman3 with remote database server
by Markus Ludwig Grandpré 01 Nov '22

01 Nov '22

Dear Mailman3 list, I try to install the Mailman3 software 3.3.3-1 on a Debian 11 system with a remote Postgres database server. During the installation process dpkg is asking for the DBA password that our DBA team would not provide to me. So what can I do?
