Archive import fails: "IndexError: list index out of range"
by Johannes Rohr 06 Jan '24

06 Jan '24

I am now importing the archives of my old mailman2 installation. Unfortunately, with some of the larger and older lists, import fails halfway through, with an exception, the last message of which is IndexError: list index out of range Below is an example. This means that the last few years are missing from the archive in several lists. Are there any suggestions what I could do to still get them importet? 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.

Archive search failing on one list
by Mark 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

Hi, I have several lists all happily running with private archives. They all use the one domain name. A new list was added recently and although mail delivery and archiving are fine, this new list's search function is failing. For example, on searching for the word "Derbyshire" (which is mentioned in one of the archived messages) the results page displays: "Sorry no email could be found for this query." The logs show: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ /var/log/mailman3/web/mailman-web.log +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [pid: 1156|app: 0|req: 55/55] 2001:8004:5310:2405:ce66:5ff:41fc:60db () {76 vars in 1537 bytes} [Sat Sep 23 23:57:43 2023] GET /mailman3/hyperkitty/search?mlist=LISTNAME-1%40DOMAIN.COM&q=Derbyshire => generated 13752 bytes in 3188 msecs (HTTP/1.1 200) 5 headers in 164 bytes (1 switches on core 0) 23:57:51 [Q] INFO Process-1:1 processing [rebuild_mailinglist_cache_for_month] 23:57:51 [Q] INFO Process-1:2 processing [rebuild_mailinglist_cache_recent] 23:57:51 [Q] ERROR Failed [rebuild_mailinglist_cache_for_month] - MailingList matching query does not exist. : Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django_q/cluster.py", line 421, in worker res = f(*task["args"], **task["kwargs"]) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/hyperkitty/tasks.py", line 79, in _rebuild_mailinglist_cache_for_month mlist = MailingList.objects.get(name=mlist_name) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/db/models/manager.py", line 82, in manager_method return getattr(self.get_queryset(), name)(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/db/models/query.py", line 406, in get raise self.model.DoesNotExist( hyperkitty.models.mailinglist.MailingList.DoesNotExist: MailingList matching query does not exist. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On all the other lists, which all have successful search results, the logs shows examples like so (searching for "Farnborough") ... ************************************* [pid: 1156|app: 0|req: 486/486] 2001:8004:5310:2405:ce66:5ff:41fc:60db () {76 vars in 1531 bytes} [Sun Sep 24 00:38:24 2023] GET /mailman3/hyperkitty/search?mlist=LISTNAME-2%40DOMAIN.COM&q=Farnborough => generated 141638 bytes in 11039 msecs (HTTP/1.1 200) 6 headers in 333 bytes (1 switches on core 0) ************************************* ... which seems to be pretty much the same but with out the "MailingList.DoesNotExist" error.

Where is the username that a user uses to login on the postorius web page stored? I checked the postgres table public.user and while the display name is there, the username is not. I can't find it anywhere in the database.

Mailman issues after re-boot
by Paul Rubin 06 Oct '23

06 Oct '23

*<< I sent this to the mailman3 issues on gitlab and Mark replied but asked me to move to this list, so I copied everything and inserted responses. I hope this makes sense and someone can help me.>>* After a lengthy power failure I had to reboot a machine that has been running for several years. the WEB-UI does not seem to be able to see mailman-core. I have looked for log entries that might explain what the issue is and I am stumped to even find logs that will update when I get an error on the browser. Mailman is definitely running, postgres is running and mailman web is running. if I go to the lists page I see lists, if I try to access a specific list I get Server error: An error occurred while processing your request. I looked in /var/logs/mailman /opt/mailman/web/mailmanweb All I can find is: django.urls.exceptions.NoReverseMatch: Reverse for 'list_unsubscription_requests' not found.

Missing Base64 encoding from control message reply

Dear all, I have a setup with GNU Mailman 3.3.8 where a user tried to subscribe. When replying to the "confirm" message, the user received a completely garbled response, like so: N�z˥��ʋ�zf��&��j��u�[zZ0:��v��,j�z֢��k�e�0 4Dҹ��r�^b��r�ߊ��*'��yם��{ax�L�X��0:��v��,j�z֢��k�d�m�-��zz�rn��l]y+��-E�( �^N��'��M��tۯ��Mz��^i��׮��}�o�\ӷ��6sN�zf��ݮ��r��z˥��b�{h��݉��f�r�ne== (The line above contains numerous unprintable characters, etc.) The user then forwarded the .eml file to me, which clearly shows the contents of the mail as plain text while being announced as base64 (Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64): START OF EML Return-Path: <LISTNAME-bounces(a)lists.DOMAIN.COM> Received: from DOMAIN.COM ([144.76.173.241]) by mx-ha.USERDOMAIN.NET (mx06 [IP]) with ESMTPS (Nemesis) id 1M27WV-1qhRFk39Sr-00AQcR for <USER(a)USERDOMAIN.NET>; Thu, 21 Sep 2023 19:10:37 +0200 Received: from localhost (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by DOMAIN.COM (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4058B3BD5EEF for <USER(a)USERDOMAIN.NET>; Thu, 21 Sep 2023 19:10:37 +0200 (CEST) Received: from DOMAIN.COM ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (DOMAIN.COM [127.0.0.1]) (amavis, port 10024) with ESMTP id x0ngnlRnGraH for <USER(a)USERDOMAIN.NET>; Thu, 21 Sep 2023 19:10:37 +0200 (CEST) Received: from [IP] (unknown [IP]) by DOMAIN.COM (Postfix) with ESMTP id DC8603BD5EEE for <USER(a)USERDOMAIN.NET>; Thu, 21 Sep 2023 19:10:36 +0200 (CEST) Subject: =?utf-8?q?The_results_of_your_email_commands?= From: LISTNAME-bounces(a)lists.DOMAIN.COM To: USER(a)USERDOMAIN.NET Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Message-ID: <169531623416.29.5762261018677554285@mailman-core> Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2023 17:10:34 +0000 Precedence: bulk X-Mailman-Version: 3.3.8 List-Id: <LISTNAME.lists.DOMAIN.COM> List-Help: <mailto:LISTNAME-request@lists.DOMAIN.COM?subject=help> List-Owner: <mailto:LISTNAME-owner@lists.DOMAIN.COM> List-Subscribe: <mailto:LISTNAME-join@lists.DOMAIN.COM> List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:LISTNAME-leave@lists.DOMAIN.COM> Envelope-To: <USER(a)USERDOMAIN.NET> X-Spam-Flag: NO The results of your email command are provided below. - Original message details: From: USER <USER(a)USERDOMAIN.NET> Subject: Re: Your confirmation is needed to join the LISTNAME(a)lists.DOMAIN.COM mailing list.

Mailman 3 Privacy Policies, GDPR, etc and social logins
by Jered Floyd 05 Oct '23

05 Oct '23

Greetings, I host a variety of lists for social, community, and software projects, and updated my infrastructure from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3 last year. As part of this, I enabled Django allauth modules to simplify login and management for subscribers. Recently, Facebook notified me that they would be disabling the "application" because it failed to provide a sufficient Privacy Policy. Previously I had linked the app to [ https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/privacy.html, | https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/privacy.html, ] but they have said: Platform Terms 4.b: Your privacy policy must comply with applicable law and regulations and must accurately and clearly explain what data you are Processing, how you are Processing it, the purposes for which you are Processing it, and how Users may request deletion of that data. During testing, we found that your privacy policy doesn’t explain how users can request data deletion. Update your privacy policy to include this information before you submit an appeal. This is a bit of a headache. Do we have a draft of a community Privacy Policy for a vanilla Mailman 3 install that meets Facebook's requirements? Is this going to be a constantly unraveling thread of future GDPR and Right to Be Forgotten troubles, since there doesn't seem to be an easy way to scrub a subscriber from Hyperkitty archives if they request so? How have others addressed this situation? Regards, --Jered

Postorius is not working (throws "Error 500" suddenly after changing POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL and changing back)
