Template URI gets written incorrectly
by Mark Dale 24 May '23

24 May '23

Hi, When I create a template, it writes the URI incorrectly into the template table in the mailman3 database and the list stops working. For example, it writes: http://localhost/mailman3/postorius/api/templates/list/markslist.lists.post… When I correct it like so, all is well: https://lists.postmark.io/mailman3/postorius/api/templates/list/markslist.l… Have I missed a config setting somewhere, or is this a bug with the older Debian Mailman 3.3.3 ? /Mark

Multiple server replicas
by Dave Hall 24 May '23

24 May '23

Hello. Our Mailman 2.1 setup included 4 replica servers, all with Mailman, Exim4, Apache, etc. The configuration for the 4 mailman server instances were synchronized by linking most of the directories in /var/lib/mailman to an NFS share that is mounted on all 4 servers. Cron jobs were staggered such that an hourly job would run every 4 hours on each server, yet still get run hourly. With Mailman 3 we would like to keep the same kind of setup. However, things have changed quite a bit. Having both mailman and mailman-web instances all share their respective MySql/MariaDB databases is the easy part. For /var/lib/mailman3 it is a little less clear. So far I have symlinked messages, archives, lists, data, and templates onto the NFS share. I'm wondering about cache, locks, queue, and web/fulltext_index. Is there any standard or documented way of doing this? Thanks. -Dave -- Dave Hall Binghamton University kdhall(a)binghamton.edu

Apache shows No Lists
by ceo＠sartrack.nz 24 May '23

24 May '23

Running Debian 11. I have 6 mailing lists, but Apache2 says there are no lists. I have not been able to set up Postorius because nowhere is any information on *where* the configuration file is supposed to be located. I have found an example in /usr/share/doc/python3-django-hyperkitty/examples/settings.py But I don't know if this example is the right one, and I have no idea where the final file should go...

mass remove pending confirmation
by Jens Günther 23 May '23

23 May '23

Running Mailman 3.3.8 with docker. ----- Since we migrate some lists from mailman2 to 3, there are a lot of new users/subscribers and an admin made the mistake to not checkbox the 3. option that the users don't need to verify their address. Now we have a long list of pending confirmations in different lists. Is there an easy way in the shell to mass remove these pending mailaddresses so that we don't have to do that one by one? That would be awsome. Regards, Jens.

Mailman3 / Exim4: Router fails
by ceo＠sartrack.nz 22 May '23

22 May '23

After updating my Linux server, my old Mailman 2.1 was wiped out. I now spend 2 full days desperately trying to get Mailman3 to work with Exim4 (and Apache2) Nothing works so far. At this point I am stuck with a failing Exim4 "Router" I have set Mailman3 to use Exim in the config. In Exim4 I have set all required Mailman3 options. But it fails with this: MM3_LISTCHK=/var/lib/mailman3/lists/${local_part}@${domain} (Email to: templist(a)sartrack.nz - The list exists in Mailman3) Exim4 debug: 19:15:47 100472 --------> mailman3_router router <-------- 19:15:47 100472 local_part=info domain=sartrack.nz 19:15:47 100472 checking domains 19:15:47 100472 sartrack.nz in "sartrack.nz"? yes (matched "sartrack.nz") 19:15:47 100472 data from lookup saved for cache for +mm_domains: key 'sartrack.nz' value 'sartrack.nz' 19:15:47 100472 sartrack.nz in "+mm_domains"? yes (matched "+mm_domains") 19:15:47 100472 checking require_files 19:15:47 100472 ╭considering: /var/lib/mailman3/lists/${local_part}@${domain} 19:15:47 100472 ├──expanding: /var/lib/mailman3/lists/${local_part}@${domain} 19:15:47 100472 ╰─────result: /var/lib/mailman3/lists/info(a)sartrack.nz 19:15:47 100472 ╰──(tainted) 19:15:47 100472 file check: /var/lib/mailman3/lists/${local_part}@${domain} 19:15:47 100472 expanded file: /var/lib/mailman3/lists/info(a)sartrack.nz 19:15:47 100472 stat() yielded -1 19:15:47 100472 errno = 2 19:15:47 100472 mailman3_router router skipped: file check Can somebody please help.

Is there a correct way to remove the "Are you sure you want to logout" screen?
by Mark London 21 May '23

21 May '23

Hi - Is there a correct way to remove the "Are you sure you want to logout" screen, after I select to logout? It seems so impossible to accidentally logout. And even if I did, it's just very easy to log back in. I did hack logout.html, and used jquery to automatically click the button. But that feels like a real hack. Although it does work. :) - Mark

Heads Up - Downtime
by Mark Sapiro 20 May '23

20 May '23

We are moving the server that supports this list and that which supports our wiki to a different cloud VPS. In conjunction with this, there will be some time beginning around 16:30 UTC and continuing for about an hour when lists.mailman3.org, www.list.org and wiki.list.org will be unavailable. During this down time, mail to <mailman-users(a)mailman3.org> should be queued in the respective MTAs and delivered when service is restored. Nothing should be lost. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

spf/dkim/dmarc
by Christian 20 May '23

20 May '23

How does Mailman handle spf/dkim/dmarc? Specifically, does it re-signature originating sender emails not caring whether or not the originating email has proper spf/dkim/dmarc signatures? Or does it NOT re-signature originating sender email, i.e. just pass them through without alteration?

Hyperkitty using wrong email address in archive view
by peter＠chubb.wattle.id.au 18 May '23

18 May '23

Hi Folks, I notice that for people with multiple email addresses, the email address that appears as the 'FROM' address in the hyperkitty archive is not the primary address, nor is it the address that the email actually came from, but the address that was created first. (Hyperkitty version 1.3.7) When I click on that from address in the archive view, I see all the email addresses for the user -- these do not match up with the ones in the django admin screen from .../admin/account/emailaddress/ When I see 'User profile for Fred Frog' it shows obsolete addresses (not subscribed, not in the Django profile for the user). How can I as administrator get rid of bogus addresses? Or do I have to ask each user to do this? and how can I ensure that the email address displayed in the archive is the primary address, not some address that no longer works? Peter C
