General question mailman3: message sender acceptance "always"
by Wikinaut 23 Oct '23

23 Oct '23

I received one mail from a sender who's not a member for moderation (=ok). Mailman2 had the moderation option "allow this sender to sender further mails" (I call this: to add this sender to the additional "white list" of white-listed addresses.) I could not find such an option (in the moderation dialog) in Mailman3 (only "accept" or "reject" and "discard", but "accept and add to white-list = accept always"). Is it a bug or feature?

pip install -U mysqlclient

no access to Postorius web pages after upgrade
by David Newman 22 Oct '23

22 Oct '23

Upgrading to MM3 3.39, Postorius 1.3.10, Hyperkitty, 1.3.8, Django-mailman3 1.3.11, and Mailman-web 0.0.8 in a venv all seemed to go OK. Mailman3 lists work as expected, and admins can log in via Django. However, any attempt to reach lists, domains, users, etc. now returns a 404 Not Found error. All the Postorius stuff worked as expected before the upgrade. In the nginx server logs, any Hyperkitty and Postorius URLs are now appended to /opt/www/roundcubemail, which is this web server's root directory but not the root for Mailman3 (I run Roundcubemail and MM3 on the same server; don't judge me :-). Here is the nginx error, with obfuscation of client and server info: 2023/10/22 10:43:24 [error] 2264140#2264140: *135 "/opt/www/roundcubemail/postorius/domains/index.php" is not found (2: No such file or directory), client: 1.2.3.4, server: lists.example.com, request: "GET /postorius/domains/ HTTP/2.0", host: "lists.example.com", referrer: "https://lists.example.com/mailman3/listinfo" And here are the relevant bits of the Nginx config. Again, this worked before the upgrade. server { listen 443 ssl http2; server_name lists.example.com; root /opt/www/roundcubemail; # begin mailman3 stuff location /static/ { alias /opt/mailman/web/static/; } location /mailman3/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; } location /archives/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; } location /accounts/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; } location /admin/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; } location /mailman/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; } location /user-profile/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; } # end mailman3 stuff } Also, I'm not sure if it's relevant but after upgrading, the migrate command throws a warning like this: (venv) mailman@mail10:~$ mailman-web migrate System check identified some issues: WARNINGS: account.EmailAddress: (models.W036) MariaDB does not support unique constraints with conditions. HINT: A constraint won't be created. Silence this warning if you don't care about it. account.EmailAddress: (models.W043) MariaDB does not support indexes on expressions. HINT: An index won't be created. Silence this warning if you don't care about it. 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. Thanks in advance for clues on getting all Postorius/Django links working again. dn

[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.

[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?
