Hi Everyone, we have mailman 3.3.8 venv test installation which in general works fine however our mysql error log is filled up with messages below because they are so frequent. 2023-02-24 0:31:30 199567 [Warning] Aborted connection 199567 to db: 'mailman' user: 'mailman' host: 'localhost' (Got an error reading communication packets) 2023-02-24 0:36:30 201063 [Warning] Aborted connection 201063 to db: 'mailman' user: 'mailman' host: 'localhost' (Got an error reading communication packets) 2023-02-24 0:41:31 202559 [Warning] Aborted connection 202559 to db: 'mailman' user: 'mailman' host: 'localhost' (Got an error reading communication packets) 2023-02-24 0:46:31 204056 [Warning] Aborted connection 204056 to db: 'mailman' user: 'mailman' host: 'localhost' (Got an error reading communication packets) As suggested here https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… I tried to correlate with error logs and /opt/mailman/web/logs/mailmanweb.log shows some hyperkitty.lib.utils Failed to update the fulltext index: (2002, "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111)" /opt/mailman/web/logs/uwsgi-error.log Message: OperationalError(2013, "Lost connection to MySQL server at 'handshake: reading initial communication packet', sy stem error: 104") but they have not such frequency so unsure if they are related. Thanks for the suggestions

Recaptcha for subscription requests?
by Jered Floyd Dec. 3, 2024

Dec. 3, 2024

Hello Mailman3 users, I've seen a massive uptick in bogus subscription requests with real addresses, either being used to DDoS outside mailboxes or just for intrusion/scanning. (It looks like a lot of fake random strings for name and then valid addresses like scanning/scamming tools like Acunetix generate.) When these hit thousands of gmail addresses they get classified as spam and hurt our overall deliverability. Has anyone yet built a CAPTCHA integration for the Subscription/Sign Up path? Regards, --Jered

Suggeested change to the venv installation instructions
by Bill Oliver Nov. 30, 2024

Nov. 30, 2024

Well, I'm now on my third installation of mailman3. I ran into a problem I had forgotten about but once I figured it out, *then* I remembered running into it last time. Configuration: Ubuntu 24.04 ib a vos, It's this. I'm a mysql person, not a postgres person, but I installed postgres for this installation just so I could follow the instructions directly. Whenever I tried to start the mailman service, I got the error that mailman didn't have permission to do whatever needed to be done. The error was: psycopg2.errors.InsufficientPrivilege: permission denied for schema public After a little searching, I found out that mailman needs to be made the OWNER of the database, not just granted all privileges. After adding the commands: ALTER DATABASE mailman OWNER TO mailman; ALTER DATABASE mailmanweb OWNER TO mailman; I suggest adding those two lines to the instructions for "Setup Database" at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html billo

Moderated unsub requests are not provided by mailman3 service
by Joachim Schrod Nov. 30, 2024

Nov. 30, 2024

Hello, I'm new to Mailman3; being in the process of moving some mailing lists from an ancient Mailman2 installation to a new host. (These lists are not big; they are used to organize a yearly holiday of roughly 50 persons.) As part of the migration; I'm testing out actions that were done on the previous Mailman2 instance. Currently, I stumble over confirmation of unsubscribe requests. Unsubscribe policy of the list is "Moderate". I subscribed an email address and used "Mass operations - Mass removal" in Postorius to unsubscribe it. (Actually, since it didn't work at first, I used that dialog twice.) Now I, as the mailing list owner, get a daily email vom Mailman3 that there are pending unsubscription requests that I shall approve. (Both unsubscription requests for the same email requests are listed in that email; doublettes are not handled properly.) The unsubscriptions requests are not shown in the web interface. I suppose they should appear in the UI section "Subscription requests", either as "Pending Approval" or "Pending Confirmation". (Frankly, I don't understand the difference between these two options at all.) Tracing the communication between Postorius and mailman3 service, I see that Postorius asks mailman3 about pending unsubscriptions with the following requests: 1) GET /3.1/lists/MBOX@DOMAIN This returns list information. 2) GET /3.1/lists/MBOX@DOMAIN/requests?token_owner=moderator This returns a JSON structure with properties "start" 0 and "total_size" 0. 3) GET /3.1/lists/MBOX@DOMAIN/requests/count?token_owner=moderator This returns a JSON structure with count 0. 4) GET /3.1/lists/MBOX@DOMAIN/held/count This also returns a JSON structure with count 0. When one wants to see the "Subscriptions pending user confirmation", there is also a GET to get the requests of token_owner=subscriber; returning the same result as the request for token_owner=moderator above. Looking at the mailman3 database, there are 2 records in table `workflowstate' that are in step `unsubscribe_from_restore' who describe the open unsubscribe requests. I could not identify any other database records that are obviously relevant to that issue. (Since this is a fresh test setup, the database is small enough that I can still look at any record in the database.) Why does Mailman3 have no info in its JSON responses about the unsubscription requests that I get informed about daily? Any hints where I could look further are dearly accepted. System information: mailman3 3.3.3; Postorius (mailman3-web) 1.3.4; both on Debian 11 (bullseye). I know that this is out of date; thus a definitive info "this is fixed by now" is quite OK for me. (Debian upgrade is planned as the next action after getting Mailman3 to work for that use case.) Hope that someone can guide me towards a solution, Joachim PS: The list configuration that I actually want is something completely different: mass unsubscription by the mailing list owner without moderation; but moderation for individual unsubscription requests. This is a mailing list where every year all subscribers are setup anew. Subscribers are email-illiterate users who may know WhatsApp at best, which brings its own problems. No person (un)subscribes herself or himself; all is done by the list owner. Unsubscription would mean cancelling the holiday participation -- the list owner must then ask if that's really wanted... -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Joachim Schrod Email: joachim(a)schrod.org Roedermark, Germany ``How do we persuade new users that spreading fonts across the page like peanut butter across hot toast is not necessarily the route to typographic excellence?'' -- Peter Flynn

Member name management by list owner
by mark＠suburbia.org.au Nov. 30, 2024

Nov. 30, 2024

Bottom line up front: site admins can do some of the things below via https://example.com/mailman3/postorius/users thanks to https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/issues/403 - I am going to include my original post, in case it helps for visibility should others come up against this in future: -- Continuing in my initiation in the MM2.1 -> MM3 migration. I will say that while the software overall seems good, and the support in here has been excellent. I don't recall a more frustrating experience migrating a service in a long time. One of my list moderators runs a closed list for their non-profit organisation, whose demographic is on the more 'wise' side of life. As such, the organisation's committee pretty much handles all the list management for members, who receive a distribution list newsletter. They don't promote the ability to subscribe/unsubscribe/manage list settings to their membership as for some, replying to emails can seem complicated. It's been seen, (and based on the thread at https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… appears to be expected) that once an email address is first associated with mailman3, that whatever that member's name is sticks, including if the name wasn't initially used. And, that if you want to change it, you need to have the member login to/created an account at https://example.com/mailman3/user-profile/. E.g. if I as list owner/admin: 1) Add via mass subscription a new member whose email has never been seen by Mailman3 before `Wrong Name <specificemail(a)example.com>` 2) Search members and see it listed as `"Wrong Name" <email(a)example.com>` 3) Unsubscribe the member from the list 4) Add via mass subscription a same member with a new name `Correct Name <specificemail(a)example.com>` When I look at the members list it still shows `"Wrong Name" <email(a)example.com>` If I'm mistaken about any of the above or that does seem like a bug, feel free to let me know. Otherwise, is there any way, without expecting the members themselves to do it, for a site admin or list admin to change the name associated with an email address? I guess in order of preference, I'd like 1) list owner/admin to be able to modify list member name through web UI 2) site owner/admin to be able to modify list member name through web UI 3) list or site admin to be able to modify list member name through command line 4) direct editing of the mariaDB database. (And if this is the best option for now, if you can tell me the name of the db/table to look at it would be appreciated) -- Back to post BLUF solution - I guess my next ask, since the site admin can modify any user's name - would it be possible for me to grant a list owner/admin the ability to change names of any user without giving them full site admin access, and perhaps add the `Manage` button to the list's members list for them?

Suggested enhancement
by Alain D D Williams Nov. 29, 2024

Nov. 29, 2024

The command: mailman members Shows who are member of a mail list - useful. It would be good if there was an option to show the mail list attributes for each user, eg: Delivery Status, Delivery Mode, Receive own postings, ... User type (member, moderator, etc) Have this printed one line/user with attributes on the line. A --json format option would be great. mailman addmembers being able to take the json format as input would be great. I have been playing with the REST interface but that is prolly to hard/complex for simple use.

New domain cannot set set host
by Alain D D Williams Nov. 29, 2024

Nov. 29, 2024

I have created a new domain - via postorius I want to set the 'Web Host' to be the same as the new domain but I cannot see that domain in the drop down list. Even if I save it and then edit the domain I still cannot see it. I went into mailman3-web/settings.py and added it to ALLOWED_HOSTS - no joy. I can see the domain in table mailman3.domain and mailman3web.django_mailman3_maildomain But it is not in table mailman3web.django_site Please how do I do this ?

Help with Configuring Mailman3 for Multiple Mailing Lists on a Single Server
by peterrflores＠hotmail.com Nov. 28, 2024

Nov. 28, 2024

Hello Everyone, I’m currently working on setting up Mailman3 on a server to manage several different mailing lists for a project. I’ve successfully installed Mailman3 and Postorius, and I can create and manage individual mailing lists through the Postorius web interface. However, I’ve encountered a couple of challenges that I need assistance with: Multiple List Management: I’m trying to configure Mailman3 to handle multiple lists for different projects. While individual lists seem to work fine, I’m unsure about best practices for managing multiple lists on a single server. Specifically, how can I ensure each list has its own distinct set of configurations (e.g., moderation settings, privacy settings, and membership options), but still manage them efficiently from the same instance of Postorius? Integrating with External Services: We plan on integrating Mailman with a few external services for better automation, including a CRM system and a custom registration platform. Does Mailman3 provide APIs or any documentation that can help with integrating mailing list functionality into other applications? If anyone has experience with these types of integrations, any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated. I checked this: https://lists.mailman3.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.mailman3.org/ https://www.igmguru.com/machine-learning-ai/generative-ai-training https://lists.mailman3.org/mailman3/lists/test2.mailman3.org/ Security and User Privacy: Since we’ll be dealing with sensitive data from subscribers, what security measures should we consider to ensure the privacy and safety of the mailing list subscribers? Any suggestions regarding encryption, access control, or secure email practices within the Mailman ecosystem would be helpful. I’d greatly appreciate any insights or advice the community can offer. Thanks in advance for your time!
