Monthly mailman-web job using a lot of memory
by Andy Smith 04 Jul '22

Hi, Is it normal for the monthly job: @monthly www-data [ -f /usr/bin/django-admin ] && flock -n /var/run/mailman3-web/cron.monthly /usr/share/mailman3-web/manage.py runjobs monthly to use nearly 3½GiB of memory? PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 770203 www-data 20 0 4516756 3.4g 1.6g R 99.7 43.5 12:08.00 python3 /usr/share/mailman3-web/manage.py runjo+ I assume it's updating the full text indexes or something. There are around 250k messages in our archives. In the job list I see: appname - jobname - when - help -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hyperkitty - update_and_clean_index - monthly - Update the full-text index and clean old entries so I'm guessing it's that, but there is also: hyperkitty - update_index - hourly - Update the full-text index which hasn't been noitceably a problem so I wonder why the "and clean old entries" bit is so much more heavyweight, what exactly it dopes and if there's any way to make it lighter on resources? Thanks, Andy

Hi. Did anyone figure out the issue or have a working configuration with this: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message… I am getting the same error, with the same configuration. Issue: Postfix LMTP does not pass messages onto MM3:LMTP. Instead the behavior summary is as follows: Jul 3 11:56:30 mail1 postfix/lmtp[824956]: 5168B20017A: to=<lmtp:[127.0.0.1]:8024@domain.com>, orig_to=<testing(a)domain.com>, relay=mail1.domain.com[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=0.08, delays=0.03/0.01/0.02/0.01, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (host mail1.domain.com[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 550 5.1.1 <"lmtp:[127.0.0.1]:8024"@domain.com> User doesn't exist: lmtp:[127.0.0.1]:8024@domain.com (in reply to RCPT TO command)) thanks, Geoff

Emails about moderation are sent to list owners, want them sent to moderators instead
by Elias Rudberg 02 Jul '22

Hello, This is about GNU Mailman 3.3.3 (Tom Sawyer). For each list there are both "owners" and "moderators". As I understand it, the idea is that owners have the power to change configuration for the list, while moderators have more limited power, they can only moderate but not change configuration. When an email is sent from a non-member to a list that requires moderation in such a case, an email with subject like "[listname] post from [sender] requires approval" is sent to the list owners. I would like those emails to be sent to moderators instead. The reason why I want it to work that way is that list owners sometimes want to delegate the work of moderating to the moderators. List owners then want to keep the power to change list configuration, but they do not want to be bothered by individual moderation emails. Is there a way to configure mailman3 to make it send moderation emails to moderators instead of owners? Or, have I misunderstood the purpose of "owners" and "moderators"? If so, I would be grateful if someone could explain. / Elias
