Database problem after system upgrade
by Lars Bjørndal 15 Nov '23

15 Nov '23

I've upgraded from Fedora 37 to 38, and the postgresql server will not start: nov. 14 23:22:18 dalen.lamasti.net postgresql-check-db-dir[1410]: An old version of the database format was found. nov. 14 23:22:18 dalen.lamasti.net postgresql-check-db-dir[1410]: Use 'postgresq l-setup --upgrade' to upgrade to version '15' nov. 14 23:22:18 dalen.lamasti.net postgresql-check-db-dir[1410]: See /usr/share /doc/postgresql/README.rpm-dist for more information. When I run `postgresql-setup --upgrade` I get: runuser: warning: cannot change directory to /opt/postgresql: no such file or directory * Upgrading database. /usr/bin/postgresql-setup: line 307: cd: /opt/postgresql: no such file or directory ERROR: pg_upgrade tool failed ERROR: Upgrade failed. * See /var/lib/pgsql/upgrade_postgresql.log for details. Why does the upgrade tool look for files in /opt/postgresql and not in /var/lib/pgsql? How to fix it? Thanks, Lars

Mailserver Log entries following through mailman?
by Andreas Barth 11 Nov '23

11 Nov '23

Hi, is there some way to find an ID to follow an email through mailman? In the exim logfile there is only something like C="250 Ok" (whereas in mails sent to another exim there is something like C="250 OK id=…"). (What I sometimes need to do is to follow an mail whether it is sent through mailman and to where.) Or should I raise an issue as whishlist request? Regards, Andi

I'm new to this list and newly a Mailman list administrator. I know I can customize message templates and have done so for my list's Welcome message. My problem is knowing what I'm replacing when I create a "new" template. How/where can I see he default content? Steve Brown

Template - "You can use these variables in the templates" - The variable for "leave" is missing
by Wikinaut 04 Nov '23

The current template input page shows this text: You can use these variables in the templates. $hyperkitty_url: Permalink to archived message in Hyperkitty $listname: Name of the Mailing List e.g. ant(a)example.com $list_id: The List-ID header e.g. ant.example.com $display_name: Display name of the mailing list e.g. Ant $short_listname: Local part of the listname e.g. ant $domain: The domain part of the listname e.g. example.com $info: The mailing list's longer descriptive text $request_email: The email address for -request address $owner_email: The email address for -owner address $site_email: The email address to reach the owners of the site $language: The two letter language code for list's preferred language e.g. fr, en, de I suggest to add the variable for leaving a mailing list here.

Mailman 3 deployment: ok to use same database instance for core, web, and hyperkitty tables?
by s.dobrau＠ucl.ac.uk 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

Hello, We are currently working on a migration plan for Mailman -> Mailman 3. We have around over 3000 mailing lists with a total of 50K members and 500 worth of archived data. Our plan is to have core+web (instance 1) and Hyperkitty (instance 2). With the archives on the FS local to the Hyperkitty. And all 3 tables (core, web, Hyperkitty) pointing to the same database on a remote SQL (mysql-enterprise) instance. Using class mailman.database.mysql.MySQLDatabase (and whatever necessary on the Django/Hyperkitty instance). Is this feasible, if so what would be the recommended compute/storage requirements. If not what other alternatives have we got ? A remote or local PostgreSQL instance is also possible if recommended. Thank you very much in advance and all the best ! Regards, Serban

Immediate notification to the administrator
by pau.baiges＠csuc.cat 02 Nov '23

02 Nov '23

Hello In Mailman, I have all the lists marked with the "Immediate notification to the administrator" option. Should list moderators receive immediate notification of new requests as well as daily reminders about the pending ones? List moderators (and list administrators) receive daily reminders of pending requests for approval, such as subscriptions to a moderated list or submissions that are held for some reason. Enabling this option results in immediate notifications being sent upon the arrival of new requests. When there's a message being held because it needs approval, it automatically sends an email to the list owners. However, it also states that it sends a daily reminder if the email remains unapproved, but it's not doing that. I'll show you how I have /etc/postfix/transport configured. I receive the first "owner" email, but not the daily one. list-owner(a)llistes.csuc.cat relay:[ip]:25 list(a)llistes.csuc.cat .. list-admin(a)llistes.csuc.cat ... list-bounces(a)llistes.csuc.cat ... list-confirm(a)llistes.csuc.cat ... list-join(a)llistes.csuc.cat ... list-leave(a)llistes.csuc.cat ... list-request(a)llistes.csuc.cat ... list-subscribe(a)llistes.csuc.cat ...

Weird behavior with Outlook and any MM3 List
by Thomas Ward 01 Nov '23

01 Nov '23

I'm seeing some *really* odd behavior with Mailman 3 and Microsoft Outlook clients (even Outlook Web Access). When messages come in with a subject prefix, of any way shape or form, Microsoft Outlook seems to *completely strip* the prefixes from any "reply" sent, which could be problematic. While the "In-Reply-To" header is still intact and such, Microsoft just seems to 'strip' prefixes from subject lines and that causes a problem in some cases. Has anyone observed this behavior before? If so, have you found any workarounds? Thomas
