Reduction of spam - FROM_LOCAL_HEX
by Kyriakos Terzopoulos 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

Hi, After fixing all issues with mailman I want to reduce the chance for email being marked as spam, especially from Gmail. I have added SPF and DKIM records and I am now using dkimvalidator to debug the emails being sent. Here is what I'm getting from spam evaluation: *0.3 FROM_LOCAL_HEX From: localpart has long hexadecimal sequence* My guess is that the From address is very large, for example: mylist-confirm+3eafa5bd24e52738c900e2e3fd05e366b7ea7580(a)myproject.eu Is there any way to mitigate this problem?

psycopg2 error?
by Odhiambo Washington 30 Oct '23

30 Oct '23

This is the first time I am seeing this with MM3 so maybe it's something new in the latest releases? Using the virtualenv method to install MM3 in a fresh Debian 12 VM, I have run into an error while starting the mailman3 service. I cannot figure out what this error means. <CUT> root@debian12:/home/wash# systemctl status mailman3.service × mailman3.service - GNU Mailing List Manager Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/mailman3.service; enabled; preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2023-10-26 09:36:41 EAT; 8s ago Process: 1893842 ExecStart=/opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) CPU: 789ms Oct 26 09:36:41 debian12.wash.lan mailman[1893842]: dbapi = dbapi_meth(**dbapi_args) Oct 26 09:36:41 debian12.wash.lan mailman[1893842]: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Oct 26 09:36:41 debian12.wash.lan mailman[1893842]: File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/sqlalchemy/dialects/postgresql/psycopg2.py", line 690, in import_dbapi Oct 26 09:36:41 debian12.wash.lan mailman[1893842]: import psycopg2 Oct 26 09:36:41 debian12.wash.lan mailman[1893842]: File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/psycopg2/__init__.py", line 51, in <module> Oct 26 09:36:41 debian12.wash.lan mailman[1893842]: from psycopg2._psycopg import ( # noqa Oct 26 09:36:41 debian12.wash.lan mailman[1893842]: SystemError: initialization of _psycopg raised unreported exception Oct 26 09:36:41 debian12.wash.lan systemd[1]: mailman3.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Oct 26 09:36:41 debian12.wash.lan systemd[1]: mailman3.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

(Custom) Plugins: Proper file path(s) for adding a handler?
by Thomas Ward 25 Oct '23

25 Oct '23

I want to add a custom handler that implements customized thread IDs in the system. I already have the DB logic worked out, but the documentation for plugins is NOT clear on how to define a handler in a plugin, nor does the example plugin in the documentation on Gitlab have any custom handlers. I'm looking to add a custom handler so that the private pipeline for threaded-subject-list can use thread-subject (the custom handler) instead of subject-prefix (builtin). I'm unclear how to add this properly in a plugin that would be read properly by Mailman, though. Any tips on the filestructure needed for the Python code/plugin package in order to properly be set up and work? Thomas

rDNS issue? Helo name contains an IP address (HELO was [127.0.0.1]) and not is valid
by Kyriakos Terzopoulos 25 Oct '23

25 Oct '23

Hi all, I'm on the latest mailman installation in a HestiaCP server. The past few days I have been investigating some spam issues and by using dkimvalidator.com I found the following: 0.1 DKIM_SIGNED Message has a DKIM or DK signature, not necessarily valid -0.1 DKIM_VALID Message has at least one valid DKIM or DK signature -1.0 MAILING_LIST_MULTI Multiple indicators imply a widely-seen list manager* 3.2 HELO_DYNAMIC_IPADDR Relay HELO'd using suspicious hostname (IP addr 1)* Note the last line on the above debug information which raises the spam score of the email. Some research showed me that I needed a rDNS entry in my server. I'm on a Hetzner cloud VM so I used the Hetzner console to change the rDNS entry from: static.XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.clients.your-server.de to my initial server hostname for example: *hestia.myserver.com <http://hestia.myserver.com>* However, after some propagation, I found today that even though I can send email to any normal address created in the server's control panel, mailing list emails do not get sent. I see the following in the logs: Mailman SMTP log: Oct 24 14:17:47 2023 (3759611) <169814622178.3759638.4589434779084932533@localhost> *response exception: (550, b'Helo name contains an IP address (HELO was [127.0.0.1]) and not is valid'*, 'testlist-bounces+myusername=myproject.eu(a)myproject.eu') Oct 24 14:17:47 2023 (3759611) <169814622178.3759638.4589434779084932533@localhost> smtp to testlist(a)myproject.eu for 1 recips, completed in 45.07745146751404 seconds Oct 24 14:17:47 2023 (3759611) <169814622178.3759638.4589434779084932533@localhost> post to testlist(a)myproject.eu from testlist-confirm+07d3315fa11a75588857fc93d1832ba74fb09fdd(a)myproject.eu, 1633 bytes, 1 failures Oct 24 14:17:47 2023 (3759611) <169814622178.3759638.4589434779084932533@localhost> delivery to myusername(a)myproject.eu failed with code 550, b*'Helo name contains an IP address (HELO was [127.0.0.1]) and not is valid'* Exim4 log: 2023-10-24 14:17:47 H=([127.0.0.1]) [XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] rejected MAIL <testlist-bounces+myusername=myproject.eu(a)myproject.eu>: *Helo name contains an IP address (HELO was [127.0.0.1]) and not is valid* The weird thing is that when I do a mailman-web sendtestemail this email is sent successfully. Also please note that before the rDNS change I did not have an issue with mail sending. Last but not least, after some search I set in Exim4 the following: PRIMARY_HOST_NAME = *hestia.myserver.com <http://hestia.myserver.com>* Any help would be greatly appreciated. *Kyriakos Terzopoulos *Web developer / e-learning expert *Tel:*+30 211 213 9858 *Mobile:* +30 694 526 4512 * E-mail: *kyriakos.terzopoulos(a)gmail.com * Skype:* kyriakos.terzopoulos Find me on Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/cirrus3d> Follow me on Twitter <http://twitter.com/#%21/cirrus3d>

Without being logged in, at least one mailing list - flagged as no-show - is listed in https://mydomain/hyperkitty/

The list is not yet used (i.e. "inactive"), but clearly flagged as " Show list on index page = no" I regard this as a bug.

More Mailman releases!
by Abhilash Raj 24 Oct '23

24 Oct '23

Hello Everyone, I am pleased to announce several new releases for GNU Mailman project. Thanks to all the contributors for making these releases possible! 1. Postorius 1.3.10 [1] 2. Hyperkitty 1.3.8 [2] 3. Django-mailman3 1.3.10 [3] 4. Mailman-web 0.0.7 [4] All the releases are published to PyPI and you can find links to all the PyPI projects: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/ A full list of change logs are available below: [1]: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/postorius/en/latest/news.html#news-1-3-10 [2]: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/hyperkitty/en/latest/news.html#news-1-3-8 [3]: https://gitlab.com/mailman/django-mailman3/-/blob/master/README.rst [4]: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-web/-/blob/master/README.rst Do note that for Postorius, I released 1.3.9, but I forgot to update dependency metadata to require `django-mailman3>=1.3.10` (which is required for the new bootstrap 5 upgrade across packages) and so I also released Postorius 1.3.10 just after. Installation documentation is available at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/install.html and if you are upgrading an existing virtualenv install you can refer https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/upgrade-3.2.html If you find any issues, you can report them at the respective bug tracker for the projects. The links to issue trackers are available at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/. Finally, similar to Mailman Core, note that PyPI doesn't accept signatures anymore so each packages' release page now has the tarball uploaded to them along with the signature: Django-mailman3: https://gitlab.com/mailman/django-mailman3/-/releases/v1.3.10 Hyperkitty: https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty/-/releases/v1.3.8 Postorius: https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/releases/v1.3.10 Mailman-web: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-web/-/releases/0.0.7 -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

Gmail bounces as a result to high send rate
by Mohsen Masoudfar 24 Oct '23

24 Oct '23

I managed to receive the bounced emails to my mailbox and I can now see the stated reason for th eissue, the bulk of the emails are marked as "expired" due to the following response: "smtp; Message expired: unable to deliver in 840 minutes.< Our system has detected an unusual rate of unsolicited mail. To protect our users from spam, mail has been temporarily rate limited. Please visit https://support.google.com/mail/?p=UnsolicitedRateLimitError to review our Bulk Email Senders Guidelines." The issue is exclusive to Gmail, no other email provider responded with a comparable message. I followed their recommendation, but I am not sure how to reduce the rate on Postfix side. Can I do it per list? or once per server? Thanks.

Internal Server Error: /mailman/accounts/fedora/login/
by Kilian Kilger 24 Oct '23

24 Oct '23

Hi mailing list, I own a mailman box. I regularily (many times a day) get mail with an internal server error. I am using Debian and the included mailman3-full package. I guess someone tries to hack my instance. But I don't understand why this leads to the internal server error. I am also wondering why the request URL is /mailman/accounts/fedora/login, as I am using Debian (understandable if the request happens via an outside trigger). I have no clue about the internal workings of mailman though. I use Debian 11 bullseye and thus version 3.3.3. I can trigger the internal server error by myself by visiting the request URL. Despite these emails the instance seems to work fine. Best regards, Kilian.
