Problem with redirection when entering alias without a / at the end
by Jens Günther 31 Mar '22

31 Mar '22

Hey there, I'm using Apache2 as the webserver, configured https://mailman.xyz.de as Web host. When I want to get to Mailman Starting Page now I need to Enter the following URL: https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman3/ to be directly redirected as expected to https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman3/postorius/lists/ -> works. Problem: When leave out the slash at the end and I ONLY enter the following URL: https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman3 -> then I'm wrongly redirected to a page, taht does not exist: https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman/postorius/lists/ -> 404 Where can I change this misbehaviour? In Apache-conf everything seems as it'S in the docs, for the vHost I do not have any other custom settings. Thank you in advance. By the way: Is there an easy way to redirect directly from https://mailman.xyz.de to https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman3/postorius/lists/ -> what would be a possibility for that?

Docker-Setup: example.com in test mails
by Bjoern Franke 29 Mar '22

29 Mar '22

Hi, we are running a docker setup with mailman-web and mailman-core. To our confusion, test mails testing for bounces are sent from example.com From: Mailman <mailman(a)example.com> To: Mailman Bounces <mailman-bounces(a)example.com> instead of the list domain and are therefore often considered as spam. The list domain should be lists.ffnw.de. Did I miss some setting? Best Regards Bjoern

ARC
by David Krantz 20 Mar '22

20 Mar '22

Hi all, Is the documentation correct that ARC should be as simple to configure in mailman 3 as to add the private DKIM key and restarting mailman? (https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/handlers/docs/arc_sign…) I've tried that without finding any effect in my so far limited tests. I have not found anything in logs although I might have missed looking in one. Are there any known limitations? I have previously a working DKIM signature on outgoing mail as well as correctly set up SPF in DNS and SPF-checking on received mail. The verification on incoming mail adds a few headers but I do not think that that should be an issue, neither would the DKIM signing change anything should mailman add new headers. I now run Mailman 3.2.3 (La Villa Strangiato) on Python 3.7.4. Cheers // David

list footer questions
by Mohsen Masoudfar 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

Hi, This seems to me like basic simple questions, I have tried FAQ and other resources, with not much success. I have two questions: 1. When I send an email to a list, in gmail and yahoo I see the following text with the links at the end of the email body: _______________________________________________ Testlist_dmark1 mailing list - listname(a)domain.tlb<mailto:testlist_dmark1@newlistserv.aaas.org> To unsubscribe send an email to listname-leave(a)domain.tlb In<mailto:listname-leave@domain.tlb%0b%0bIn> outlook this is added as an attachment in the form of a TEXT file, when you open it, you see the same text. Question: Is there a way to change this, that it looks in outlook the same way as it appears in gmail/yahoo? I know MS does it own stuff sometime and we have no impact on that, but I was thinking maybe we might change the footer in a way that outlooks sees that as part of email body. 2. How may I change the format and the text in footer? I was expecting it under list > setting, in postorius, but I could not find it.

Mailman3 not working following distribution upgrade from Debian 10 to 11.
by gordon＠dickens.com 06 Mar '22

06 Mar '22

I performed a distribution upgrade from Debian 10 Buster (which runs mailman 3.2.1) to Debian 11 Bullseye (which runs mailman 3.3.1) with the command "apt-get full-upgrade -y" and everything apparently worked properly except at the end of the upgrade when the following error dialog was generated by the mailman3-web and mailman3-full post-installation scripts: Setting up mailman3-web (0+20200530-2) ... Determining localhost credentials from /etc/mysql/debian.cnf: succeeded. dbconfig-common: writing config to /etc/dbconfig-common/mailman3-web.conf dbconfig-common: flushing administrative password sed: -e expression #2, char 77: unterminated `s' command dpkg: error processing package mailman3-web (--configure): installed mailman3-web package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mailman3-full: mailman3-full depends on mailman3-web; however: Package mailman3-web is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing package mailman3-full (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: mailman3-web mailman3-full E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Now, every time that I execute "apt-get upgrade" then I continue to get the above error dialog. Also, the command "dpkg-reconfigure mailman3-web" generates this output: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: mailman3-web is broken or not fully installed So, I am now stuck since apt-get is saying that mailman3-web is not configured yet, however, neither apt-get nor dpkg-reconfigure will successfully configure mailman3-web. Does anybody have any idea how to fix this? I would very much appreciate some suggestions. Thanks, Gordon

Mass un/subscribe optimization?
by Bryan Loniewski 28 Feb '22

28 Feb '22

Hi -- We've noticed slowness in mass un/subscribing users; looking through the issue(s) log we see both #419 [1] and #627 [2] open and related. From the cmd line we get better performance, but with the subscriber size on many of our Faculty/Staff/Students ad-hoc lists (think 1k-15K subscribed addresses) and with our number of lists (2600) and unique owners utilizing these actions it would be helpful to optimize the mass actions. We wanted to get some thoughts and guidance on what needs to be optimized/redesigned/fixed? Or is there already something in the works, but needs more time? We may be able to provide resources to encourage and/or assist with any development and/or testing... We run a split core/web setup with Apache,mod_wsgi and MySQL backend (AWS hosted).

Hi, all - At the moment I have a site that uses Sympa. It has more than 150 lists. Moving existing lists to MM3 looks doable the archives are a different story. Has anyone ever migrated archives from Sympa to MM3? Sorry if this is answered somewhere else... Thanks T Fillmore southern California The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens... - Baha'u'llah

Migrating archives from mailman2 to mailman3 with attachments
by bob B 28 Feb '22

28 Feb '22

So I see the process for migrating an archive from mailman2 to mailman3 https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/migration.html.................. i.e python manage.py hyperkitty_import -l foo-list(a)example.com $var_prefix/archives/private/foo-list.mbox/foo-list.mbox but does the migration handle attachments?? attachments are in ..../archives/private/foo-list/attachments. I assume this is if you are upgrading in place? I am migrating to a new server and my plan is to follow these steps but copy the config.pck. and .mbox files to the new server and import them, but then it looks like I need to copy the attachment directory? if so how do I import the attachments to mailman3?

sending messages in response to posts from non-members
by David Bremner 27 Feb '22

27 Feb '22

I'd like to turn off the "bounce messages" sent by mailman to non-members. My reasoning is that most such posts are spammers, and often use forged return-paths / From's, so I end of sending steady stream of backscatter to amazon.com etc... Is this configurable (without postorius) somehow? d
