[migration] to a another server - one year database apparently lacks fields for newer mailman3/django suite
by Wikinaut 22 Oct '23

22 Oct '23

As suggested by @Mark last week, I exported my databases mailman3, mailman2web of what was mailman 3.3.0 (or so) and imported these on my new working system. Apparently, a database migration step is needed to run the new mailman3 with some older databases: because when I want to login to view my mailing lists, I got "An error occurred while processing your request." in the web. Log files and error mail messages say inter alia: Internal Server Error: /accounts/login/ OperationalError at /accounts/login/ (1054, "Unknown column 'socialaccount_socialapp.provider_id' in 'field list'" and Internal Server Error: /archives/ OperationalError at /archives/ (1054, "Unknown column 'hyperkitty_mailinglist.archive_rendering_mode' in 'field list'") Please can you assist: How can I add the missing tables, is there an update script (running "python migrate.py" was not fixing this).

New messages are not archived - may be a path issue
by Wikinaut 21 Oct '23

21 Oct '23

(I read thoroughly https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… "New messages not being archived", but could not find what's wrong on my machine.) This is what I found in /var/log/mailman3/mailman.log : HyperKitty failure on https://mail.opteryx.org/mailman3/archives/api/mailman/archive: This page either doesn't exist, or it moved somewhere else. I have double checked all settings in the /etc/mailman3/ configuration files and are not able to get message archived. There is not REST error message any more, but perhaps a problem with the paths. I have no idea any more where to fix this.

(venv) mailman-web migrate (as explained) fails with "django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: allauth.account.middleware.AccountMiddleware must be added to settings.MIDDLEWARE"

[Bug] Archiver: when deleting an archive, the control flow is lost (return-to should go to https://example.com/archives/ but does not)
by Wikinaut 21 Oct '23

21 Oct '23

How to reproduce: When deleting an archive, the confirmation page for the requested delete action is (correct) https://example.com/archives/list/test@example.com/delete/ When you now click the button DELETE, then the web control flow ist lost. BUG Instead of https://example.com/archives/ the https://example.com is shown, which appears to be a bug. REMARK: The archive-to-be-deleted was indeed deleted. This behaviour was observed with both installations on a fresh server: - debian12 install (package mailman3-full) ; and - venv install (recommended on your page)

Message of migrated list showing "unsubscribe@%(host_name)s" in footer
by alex＠presland.net 21 Oct '23

21 Oct '23

Apologies if I've not found a previous post for this; I did look before starting a new thread. We migrated a number of mailman lists last weekend and I spotted this evening that an email from the list contained a footer along the lines of the following (all bits in CAPITALS were successfully representing the list. ===== LISTNAME mailing-list -- LISTNAME@DOMAIN To unsubscribe, email LISTNAME-unsubscribe@%(host_name)s ===== 1) I don't know why %(host_name)s hasn't been automagically substituted 2) I can't find anywhere to change this footer in the Mailman3 Postorius interface

After importing my old databases, the mail local_recipient map is suddenly not working any more
by Wikinaut 20 Oct '23

20 Oct '23

After importing old databases everythimng looks fine now. But the mail local_recipient maps are not working (/etc/postfix/main.cf looks fine, as before, and postfix was restarted). Mails to test(a)example.org rejected with Error 550 Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table /* as in your installation guide */ transport_maps = hash:/var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_lmtp local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps hash:/var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_lmtp relay_domains = hash:/var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_domains The files appears to be present: /var/lib/mailman3/data# dir 4 -rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 339 Oct 20 21:13 postfix_domains 8 -rw-r----- 1 mailman mailman 12288 Oct 20 21:13 postfix_domains.db 4 -rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 2714 Oct 20 21:13 postfix_lmtp 12 -rw-r----- 1 mailman mailman 12288 Oct 20 21:13 postfix_lmtp.db What else is needed to get the list-addresses working and not rejected? It worked before the import.

Memory issues on a small server with 2 GB RAM - Question: Has anyone a similar server up and running with mailman3 ?
by Wikinaut 20 Oct '23

20 Oct '23

I see that about every 15 minutes (or later), tasks are killed by the systems OOM-Killer (out-of-memory). Is there something wrong with the current Tom Sawyer version, or is this specific server's memory size too low? Remark: I already reduced the mariadb innodb-buffer pool to ~100 MB (because mariadb got killed now and then before this change). Now it is our lovely mailman3 which got killed as the program with the largest memory footprint... Any idea?

Mailman Core 3.3.9 Release
by Abhilash Raj 20 Oct '23

20 Oct '23

Hello Everyone, Mailman 3.3.9 is now published to PyPI! Thanks to everyone who helped make this release possible. Minimum supported Python version for this release is 3.9, we had to drop support for 3.7 & 3.8 due to incompatibilities with importlib-resources package. Maximum Python version supported right now is 3.11, we haven't yet added 3.12 to CI, so un-sure if there are any errors there. The full change log for the release can be found in the docs as usual: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/NEWS.… You can download the release via PyPI or via Gitlab Release: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/releases/v3.3.9 For those of you who need to verify signatures for packages, PyPI doesn't allow publishing signatures anymore so I pushed them to Gitlab Releases along with a copy of the same tarball uploaded to PyPI. I'll be working on the release for the web components tomorrow. -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

[Older bug, but still unsolved] When deleting one or more threads in an archive, django send error mails (based upon "Thread matching query does not exist")
by Wikinaut 20 Oct '23

20 Oct '23

I installed the venv version to scrutizine whether this old bug is still present (yes it is). How to reproduce: Delete one thread in via the archive - thread - view page. Remark: Thread is deleted as wanted. However, django complains via several (here: two) error mails: 1st mail: [Django] ERROR (EXTERNAL IP): Internal Server Error: /archives/list/test(a)example.com/top-threads Internal Server Error: /archives/list/test(a)example.com/top-threads DoesNotExist at /archives/list/test(a)example.com/top-threads Thread matching query does not exist. ... 2nd mail: [Django] ERROR (EXTERNAL IP): Internal Server Error: /archives/list/test(a)example.com/posted-to Internal Server Error: /archives/list/test(a)example.com/posted-to DoesNotExist at /archives/list/test(a)example.com/posted-to Thread matching query does not exist. ... I wish to fix this problem, how can I help, what can I do? Do you need the full error stack?

Mailman3 Development Related List?
by Thomas Ward 20 Oct '23

20 Oct '23

I have some technical questions around custom plugins for Mailman3, related to DB access, etc. within a specific custom plugin. Is there a dedicated list for that, or is this list proper for such questions? Namely, I'm searching for more information regarding existing interfaces, etc. that're exposed from different mailman.* python components and whether we can utilize those without having to implement extra psycopg2 instances/connectivity, etc. but don't want to bombard the users list with technical chatter unless it's intended to be used that way.
