what process creates webui tables (mailmanweb db)?
by tflatley＠gmail.com Sept. 27, 2022

Sept. 27, 2022

hello again, running a venv installation i think the tables in 2 databases (mailman/mailmanweb) were initially created by running mailman-web migrate - this wrapper is not available in a package install - so i think i need to run something like this after editing my settings.py file python3 manage.py migrate Operations to perform: Apply all migrations: account, admin, auth, contenttypes, django_mailman3, django_q, hyperkitty, postorius, sessions, sites, socialaccount Running migrations: No migrations to apply. Your models have changes that are not yet reflected in a migration, and so won't be applied. Run 'manage.py makemigrations' to make new migrations, and then re-run 'manage.py migrate' to apply them. i do see tables in the mailman db but mailmanweb is empty - is there a different flag i need to run to seed the mailmanweb db? Thanks

by chris＠mehl.one Sept. 27, 2022

Sept. 27, 2022

Hi, I am running Mailman3 on Debian 11 with Apache and MariaDB. Single installation. When I edit a footer from the WebUI templates, it doesn't show in the messages. Could it be an issue with the related DB? If so - what do I need to change? Many thanks in advance for any leads! Chris

invalid parameter response of the rest-api
by Jacob Sievert Sept. 22, 2022

Sept. 22, 2022

Hello, Since a few days we get an error response from our automated membership script. We use the following code to control the membership for some lists: ``` def mailinglist_manage(list_address, members): """ make sure all 'members' are present on the list and no remove everyone else list_address : mail address of mailing list to manage addresses : mail address that are supposed to be on the list """ print("[*] update subscriptions for {}".format(list_address)) ml = mmc.get_list(list_address) # make sure we dont spam users ml.settings['send_welcome_message'] = False ml.settings.save() addresses = set(members.keys()) ml_members = ml.members ml_addresses = set((x.address.__str__() for x in ml_members)) for addr in ml_addresses - addresses: print("unsubscribe {} from {}".format(addr, list_address)) ml.unsubscribe(addr) for addr in addresses - ml_addresses: print("subscribe {} to {}".format(addr, list_address)) ml.subscribe(addr, members[addr], pre_verified=True, pre_confirmed=True, pre_approved=True) ``` Since Tuesday without any update performed by us we get the following error from the script when it's running: ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "./mail_user_control.py", line 423, in <module> mailinglist_manage("XXX(a)EXAMPLE.COM", members) File "./mail_user_control.py", line 412, in mailinglist_manage pre_verified=True, pre_confirmed=True, pre_approved=True) File "/root/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailmanclient/restobjects/mailinglist.py", line 339, in subscribe response, content = self._connection.call('members', data) File "/root/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/connection.py", line 112, in call error_msg, response, None) urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: Invalid Parameter "subscriber": . ``` If you have an idea why that code now returns this. I would be thankful. regards Jacob Sievert

Help understanding why some users don't receive emails
by Stephen Daniel Sept. 22, 2022

Sept. 22, 2022

Mailman3 people --- I'm a novice at running mailman, so any advice would be appreciated. I manage a few small lists using a mailman3 server. A few of my users complain they do not receive emails. Looking at one user in particular, I see in /var/log/syslog that postfix is sending the email. There is nothing in bounce.log. They are the only user who uses that particular email domain (embarqmail.com ). Is there anything I can do to debug why they do not get the emails? Or is this up to them and their email provider? Thanks! -- Steve Daniel

Hyperkitty displaying example.com
by Mark Dale Sept. 22, 2022

Sept. 22, 2022

Hi On a new installation I'm seeing "example.com" displayed at the top of the HyperKitty pages. I was expecting to see "lists.mydomainname.com", so I think I've missed something somewhere. Also, when a user signs up, the confirmation email reads as: ////////////////////////// SUBJECT: [example.com] Please Confirm Your E-mail Address FROM: postorius(a)lists.mydomainname.com BODY: Hello from example.com! You're receiving this e-mail because user yogibear has given your e- mail address to register an account on example.com. To confirm this is correct, go to https://lists.mydomainname.com/mailman3/accounts/confirm-email/NQ:1obAI3:Yw… Thank you for using example.com! example.com ////////////////////////// Any clues greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mark

Hi I've just installed Mailman 3 using the Debian 11 package. Mailman-Version: 3.3.3 HyperKitty version 1.3.4 Postorius Version 1.3.4 The first list that I've added is receiving and sending mail okay, however the messages are not being archived. The logs report a HyperKitty error. I've copy-pasted that in at the end of this email. I've checked the following: ============================== /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg contains: [archiver.hyperkitty] class: mailman_hyperkitty.Archiver enable: yes configuration: /etc/mailman3/mailman-hyperkitty.cfg ============================= The list has archiving configured on in Postorius. - Archive policy: Private archives - Active archivers: hyperkitty ============================= /etc/mailman3/mailman-hyperkitty.cfg has: [general] base_url: https://lists.mydomain.com/mailman3/archives #base_url: https://lists.mydomain.com/mailman3/hyperkitty/ api_key: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ============================= /usr/share/mailman3-web/settings_local.py contains: ALLOWED_HOSTS = [ "localhost", '*' ] MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_KEY = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa' ============================= The headers of the emails received from the list show blanks for Archived-At and List-Archive: X-Mailman-Version: 3.3.3 Precedence: list Archived-At: <> List-Archive: <> ============================= /var/log/mailman3/mailman.log The errors in the log contain messages (that I'm clueless about) regarding HyperKitty.

How to delete non-users
by Allan Hansen Sept. 17, 2022

Sept. 17, 2022

Hi all, This is a bit of an emergency: I am getting a bunch of complaints from potential list members of my lists that they can't subscribe and they don't get messages. Apparently, the issue is that they are non-members. I have never created any non-members but looking at the docs it seems that if someone sends a message to the list, they automatically become non-members. For individuals I have been able to delete their non-membership and they then could subscribe properly. I have looked at some of my most popular lists and they have hundreds of non-members! It will take me an awful amount of time to remove each one manually, and not doing it - handling each as they complain - is also a lot of waste of time and cause of frustration for all involved. I have tried scripting it with delmember, but it does not take the '-r nonmember' option ('findmember' does!). Can anyone help me find out how to a. delete all non-members of all my lists b. prevent MM3 from creating new non-members in the future (so I don't have to keep removing them) Any help with this is appreciated. Yours, Allan I'm still at Mailman Core Version GNU Mailman 3.3.3 (Tom Sawyer) Mailman Core API Version 3.1 Mailman Core Python Version 3.7.3 (default, Jan 22 2021, 20:04:44) [GCC 8.3.0] My system used to be kept up to date by EMWD, but since Brian died have not been able to get it updated, and I'm too scared (from my attempts at installing MM3) to attempt it myself. If the above can only be solved via an update, I'd appreciate a referral.
