Mailman REST API not available. Please start Mailman core.

Okay, so I got the webservice of Mailman3 up and running, but when I go to mailman3/postorius/lists/, I get the following error: Something went wrong Mailman REST API not available. Please start Mailman core. When I logged in to the admin user, it threw a server 500 error, but I could refresh and see myself logged in. If I try to go to lists or mailman settings, however, I get the error above.

Mailman3 core didn't start after reboot, because mysql wasn't running yet.
by Mark London July 29, 2023

July 29, 2023

Hi - We had a power outage, and after my Ubuntu server rebooted , mailman 3 tried to start before mysql was running. I guess because it wasn't a clean reboot, the mysql server took much longer than normal to start, while checking databases. So mailman3 couldn't start. Normal reboots never had this problem. Should it have kept trying? In any event, mailman3 core didn't start, but mailman3-web did start. But it wasn't very happy, of course. And any time someone tried to access the mailing list website, it would send me an error message. I had hundreds of such emails in the morning., that started with the one below. Is there a way to configure my system to make sure this doesn't happen again? Thanks. - Mark Service Unavailable: /mailman3/ Report at /mailman3/ Service Unavailable: /mailman3/ Request Method: GET Request URL:https://lists.psfc.mit.edu/mailman3/ Django Version: 4.1.8 Python Executable: /opt/mailman/venv/bin/uwsgi Python Version: 3.10.6 Python Path: ['.', '', '/riusMiddleware')

Something wrong in Django admin interfaces
by Franklin Weng July 21, 2023

July 21, 2023

Hi, Since both Mark and Danil kindly told me that my wish to disable web anonymous account registering requires new version of mailman and django-mailman, I found that newest Debian bookwarm (12) has * mailman 3.3.8-1 (including mailman3-full and mailman3-web 20200530-2.1) * python3-django-mailman3 : 1.3.9-1 * python3-mailman-hyperkitty : 1.2.1 So I re-installed mailman3 (and took notes so that I could write a blog). After installing that, I found that it has problems in django admin page. When I clicked any features like users, Mail domains, Failed tasks... anyone, no matter New or Change, the web page was covered by the first page. All the configuration fields/labels are covered by the first page. Please see the screenshot: https://nextcloud.slat.org/index.php/s/e5KKEEbqDK6DpiN https://nextcloud.slat.org/index.php/s/nLgMRQ9ACyxCwoc It was not able to do the administration tasks. I looked at django-mailman issues https://gitlab.com/mailman/django-mailman3/-/issues but didn't find anything useful. Does anyone have similar issues? What can I do to solve this? Thanks, Franklin

Any possible way to reduce robot spam accounts?
by Franklin Weng July 21, 2023

July 21, 2023

Hi, I just installed a mailman3 instance, even haven't announced to anyone yet, there are a lot of spam robot accounts registering into my system. (See https://nextcloud.slat.org/index.php/s/WWHo7F3igYxn8LY for screenshot) I really have no idea how the robots find my system since I haven't told anyone the ip or URL of my mailman instance. And, they're registering on the system, not the mailing list since I have only one list for testing now and it wasn't assaulted by spam yet. No matter what, what I want to ask is that, is there a way to either * just let users join from email (lists-join(a)lists.url) instead of registering on the mailman instance? or * use a scheme like CAPTCHA to reduce the successful opportunity of robot registering? Any help is appreciated! Franklin

List mails blocked from GMX - web.de > Spamfolder
by itservice＠knut-krueger.de July 19, 2023

July 19, 2023

How can I configure Mailman3 so that Mails from the list will not be blocked by gmx.net I tried to send with the same user (mailman.cf) at my mail server, which will not be blocked by gmx. unfortunately, I get no bounce back message. They do just not appear in the mail folder of gmx. At web.de they go to the SPAM folder.

Import old mails into list
by franklin＠slat.org July 19, 2023

July 19, 2023

Hi, I just built a new mailman3 instance. I installed directly on Debian using mailman3-full and follow /usr/share/doc/mailman3/README.Debian to set up database/web. Then I'd like to import some old mail (in a mbox file) into this list. I searched for any documentation but all I got is Import list data (from 2.1): https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/release-3.0/src/mailman/comma… How do I import an archive into a new mailing list: https://wiki.list.org/DOC/How%20do%20I%20import%20an%20archive%20into%20a%2… The first is import list data, not list contents (mails). The second is very old, written in 2007, and now I even can't find bin/arch commands. Also, this post in this mailing list: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message… Which nobody replied yet. And when I tried `django-admin hyperkitty_import` it even told me "Unknown command: 'hyperkitty_import'". Could anyone please tell me how to import old mails from mbox file into a new mailing list? Thanks, Franklin

Configure administrative users via command line?
by kjohnson＠eclypse.org July 18, 2023

July 18, 2023

I recently migrated a mailing list from Mailman 2.x to Mailman 3.x. Sending messages to and receiving messages from the list seems to work well. The web interface archives seem to be working well. Xapian is configured as the search engine. With only 60K some messages, archive search seems very fast. How can I configure administrative users via command line? I need to process a moderation request. I have root access on the server. A pointer to the appropriate documentation would be more than welcome. Thank you to anyone who can provide help. Ken

where do I find the text of a bounce email ?
by Per Jessen July 1, 2023

July 1, 2023

All, I am trying to figure why a particular outbound message was bounced, so I'm looking for the text of the NDR that was sent - where do I find that ? Fyi, the outbound message was accepted by the first relay, and then presumably later bounced by the actual recipient server (Office365). Any and all hints much appreciated. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.6°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes

Is this possible? As of 1.3.2 I can't find it. Perhaps it's in a newer version? I'm working on upgrading. Thanks! -- Tom Smyth (he/him)
