Docker or virtualenv?
by Johannes Rohr 07 Jan '23

07 Jan '23

Dear all, I have noticed that Ubuntu's current LTS no longer contains packages for mailman2 and its mailman3 packages are incomplete. So, prior to upgrading the server, I will have to migrate from mailman2 / distro packages to mailman3 installed either in virtualenv or docker. I have got zero experience with virtualenv and some experience with Docker. Overall, the docker method looks easier. Is docker the default method by now? Thanks! Johannes

virtual_alias_domains
by Johannes Rohr 06 Jan '23

06 Jan '23

Dear all, I have to set up mailman3 in an environment where postfix uses virtual alias domains. This is described in https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/mta.h… I don't understand, though, what I need to do to have mailman generate $PREFIX/var/data/postfix_vmap I have tried to follow the instructions at https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/model/docs… with the purpose of setting an alias domain. However, things go sideways quickly: >>> from mailman.interfaces.domain import IDomainManager >>> from zope.component import getUtility >>> manager = getUtility(IDomainManager) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/zope/component/_api.py", line 165, in getUtility raise ComponentLookupError(interface, name) zope.interface.interfaces.ComponentLookupError: (<InterfaceClass mailman.interfaces.domain.IDomainManager>, '') >>> So, something is missing. But, being a complete python layman, I do not know what and how I fix it. Can someone give me a headsup? That would be greatly appreciated! Johannes

hyperkitty installation: Unclear instructions
by Johannes Rohr 06 Jan '23

06 Jan '23

Dear all, I just installed mailman and mailman3-web in virtualenv as described in https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html Next I moved on to set up hyperkitty as described in https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/hyperkitty/en/latest/install.html. I got confused by the instructions: "Install the code Install the HyperKitty package and its dependencies with the following commands: sudo python setup.py install" Obviously this is a python script in a package that has to be downloaded from somewhere. Why? Doesn't the command pip install mailman-web mailman-hyperkitty already do the job? Apparently, there is a second way of installing hyperkitty, using virtualenv, where you have to check out the code from gitlab and install from there. However, this still doesn't look right, as hyperkitty apparently can also be installed through pip install hyperkitty But then, hyperkitty seems to be already have been pulled in by mailman-web, looking at its dependencies. If that's the case, then neither the instructions at https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/hyperkitty/en/latest/install.html nor those at https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/hyperkitty/en/latest/development.html are correct. Can someone enlighten me on what the canonical way is of installing and setting it up in virtualenv? Thanks a lot in advance! Johannes

Re: Configure MM3 with separate IMAP Mailserver

Hi Mark, much appreciated! This is for sending messages, right? How about the recieving part…I read different things around that i need multiple mailboxes created, postfix installed, relays, ASMTPDirect etc…can you guide me a bit here, please? I havent found that one instruction that would solve this for me until now. Would just like to avoid to have to administer my own mailserver locally, if i have a perfectly configured one with my provider. CL

Extracting mailing list users
by Jan Eden 02 Jan '23

02 Jan '23

Hi, I would like to export users of my mailing lists including their full name (if present). The export button in Postorius creates a CSV with addresses only, and the tool bin/list_members mentioned in the [Mailman 2 FAQ] does not seem to be available in Mailman 3. I have full access to the server/database, so scraping the web interface with [Mark's script] seems unneccessary. Is there an SQL statement (or an equivalent of bin/list_members) to extract the data? Thanks, Jan [Mailman 2 FAQ]: https://wiki.list.org/DOC/How%20do%20I%20extract%20%28export%29%20a%20list%… [Mark's script]: https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/mailman-subscribers3.py
