Handling of spam
by Eggert Ehmke Dec. 5, 2022

Dec. 5, 2022

I have a mailing list that is open to nonmembers. Sometimes we get spam on that list. I have a working spamassassin/amavis spam filter on the system. Now comes the strange part: sometimes a spam message is put into a multi-part message and forwarded to the list owner (me). This multi-part message contains the message marked as spam, but is not marked as spam itself. The origin of those message is the bounces address of the list. So my first question is: where can those messages be generated? I can provide the message header, but it would contain a lot of details of my server. Cheers, Eggert

Is there an easy way to set Reply-To to a lists owner?
by Martin Lorenz Dec. 4, 2022

Dec. 4, 2022

Hi again, now, that Mailman3 is running smoothly I have a new question. We have a bunch of lists, which are only used for spreading news. Now the admin of theses lists (who happens to be my wife) asked me, if it was possible to change the settings such that all replys to one of these lists can only be sent to herself (i.e. the owner address) instead of being held for moderation. I thought of setting Reply-To to something like <list-owner> by "simply" entering a Variable into this field, instead of using the admins/owners literal email-address. Is this possible? Or is there another way of achieving the goal? TNX Greetings Martin

Weird startup problem after upgrade
by Odhiambo Washington Dec. 3, 2022

Dec. 3, 2022

I am facing an odd situation in which MM3 doesn't start successfully on reboot, but I can start it manually. This is a venv install. This started after I did an upgrade (pip install --upgrade mailman postorius hyperkitty mailman-hyperkitty) followed by the requisite collectstatic|compress|compilemessages|migrate post-update commands. Secondly, it appears that the upgrade did NOT change the versions for the upgraded components - postorius=1.3.6, hyperkitty=1.3.5, Mailman Core Version=3.3.5. I was expecting the version to all bump up to the latest. Thanks in advance for any insights into what could be causing this. wash@lists:~$ systemctl status mailman3 × mailman3.service - GNU Mailing List Manager Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/mailman3.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: timeout) since Fri 2022-12-02 18:58:13 EAT; 9s ago CPU: 25.241s Dec 02 18:58:12 lists mailman[1637]: File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 114, in signal_handler Dec 02 18:58:12 lists mailman[1639]: for atexit_call in reversed(_threading_atexits): Dec 02 18:58:12 lists mailman[1639]: File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 114, in signal_handler Dec 02 18:58:12 lists mailman[1637]: raise RunnerInterrupt Dec 02 18:58:12 lists mailman[1639]: raise RunnerInterrupt Dec 02 18:58:12 lists mailman[1637]: mailman.interfaces.runner.RunnerInterrupt: Dec 02 18:58:12 lists mailman[1639]: mailman.interfaces.runner.RunnerInterrupt: Dec 02 18:58:13 lists systemd[1]: mailman3.service: Failed with result 'timeout'.

Permission denied for fulltext_index

Hi, when trying to reattach a message thread in the Hyperkitty web interface, the following error occurs: > Internal Server Error: /archives/list/testlist(a)lists.eden.one/thread/T6MCILAVQYV5QIOGHJB3JNJ26Z7E2Z35/reattach-suggest > > PermissionError at /archives/list/testlist(a)lists.eden.one/thread/T6MCILAVQYV5QIOGHJB3JNJ26Z7E2Z35/reattach-suggest > [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'fulltext_index' The error occurs while haystack attempts to create a directory – > File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/haystack/backends/whoosh_backend.py", line 412, in search > self.setup() > File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/haystack/backends/whoosh_backend.py", line 133, in setup > os.makedirs(self.path) > File "/usr/lib/python3.10/os.py", line 225, in makedirs > mkdir(name, mode) > > Exception Type: PermissionError at /archives/list/testlist(a)lists.eden.one/thread/T6MCILAVQYV5QIOGHJB3JNJ26Z7E2Z35/reattach-suggest > Exception Value: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'fulltext_index' > Raised during: hyperkitty.views.thread.reattach_suggest > Request information: > USER: mailman – but the existing directory /opt/mailman/fulltext_index (and its contents) are readable and writeable by mailman:mailman: > drwxrwxr-x 2 mailman mailman 4096 Nov 27 08:00 fulltext_index/ > > -rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 4473 Nov 27 08:00 _MAIN_65.toc > -rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 15456 Nov 27 08:00 MAIN_bc0cs2aohovftat6.seg > -rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 15454 Nov 27 06:00 MAIN_brbo8i8edmlz0za4.seg > -rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 15462 Nov 27 07:00 MAIN_ewnemc7lsnodd3y7.seg > -rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 157324 Nov 27 04:00 MAIN_qag60g1rrumshtc2.seg > -rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 15459 Nov 27 05:00 MAIN_w6e0ohurasusy61d.seg > -rwxrwxr-x 1 mailman mailman 0 Nov 24 16:00 MAIN_WRITELOCK* I fail to see where haystack tries (and fails) to create the directory. FWIW, deleting threads is not a problem. Thanks, Jan
