Does Mailman 3 log subscribes and unsubscribes for each list the way Mailman 2 did? Brian

Questions regarding message acceptance
by Pawel Grzywaczewski Sept. 19, 2024

Sept. 19, 2024

Hello, I have few questions regarding usage of Mailman3: 1) We have list1 and list2 with members. Can we specify that all members of list1 can post messages to list2? We could potentially write a script that would synchronize members of another list to “Accept these non-members” of another list, but with thousands of lists it will be difficult to maintain lists in synchro. So perhaps there is a concept of adding another list to “Accept these non-members” and mailman real-time evaluate membership of another list upon message arrival? 2) In explanation of “Accept these non-members” it’s written: “While non-regexp addresses can be entered here, it is preferred to add the address as a nonmember and set the nonmember's Moderation to Default Processing”. I noticed that if someone posts to a list then he is added automatically to non-members. Which means that next time he will be able to post. My understanding is that it’s better to use the feature “Accept these non-members”. Am I correct? Thank you, Paweł

Disabled by bounce
by Allan Hansen Sept. 11, 2024

Sept. 11, 2024

Hi all, Apparently Google just started to get very aggressive about DKIM settings. Some hundreds of my subscribers have had their subscriptions disabled because of Google's bounces. I tried to 'Enable' some of them, expecting that their bounce scores would be reset, but when I list the users, the bounce scores are still 5. Please advise. Will enabling them without the bounce score being reset just cause the server to disable them again. Yours, Allan

Display the last post time for a list or all lists.

Does Mailman 3 have something similar to https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/last_post.py displaying the last post time for a list or all lists?

MM3 generates long lines?
by peter＠chubb.wattle.id.au July 28, 2024

July 28, 2024

I'm seeing emails being dropped when mm3 talks to the local smtp server, with log errors like: 2021-06-23 15:42:24 1lvvea-007r8u-VN H=localhost (<FQDN>) [::1] F=<announce-bounces@<FQDN>> rejected after DATA: maximum allowed line length is 998 octets, got 1036 The email itself did not have such long lines AFAICT. I can disable line length checking on the mailserver, but that sounds like a recipe for the next one along to drop the email. Peter C

Digests not working correctly
by Joel Lord June 8, 2024

June 8, 2024

So I seem to have problems with both periodic AND size-triggered digests. Size first, this is simpler. Just got one sent out, clearly triggered by a new email getting added to the queued up messages, but the setting for the list is the default 30KB and the digest came out at 23.2 KB. Is it measuring the accumulated queue as size on disk including metadata and filesystem block sizes or something, rather than the size of what the emailed digest will be? Periodic is much more complicated, even to explain. I have the cron job running nightly at 11:00 PM and it certainly seems to be working, except for one really odd thing. The list also definitely has periodic digests enabled in the web UI. This is a very bursty list, so it will go mad with traffic for a few weeks and then will go mostly idle for a month or so. The first digest of a burst is definitely size-triggered, but pretty reliably it has the last few messages from the previous burst in there. So the one I got today had three messages from today and one message from May 4th. But that May 4th message should have gone out at 11:00 PM on May 4th with the daily digest and then gotten flushed from the pending digest queue, right? -- Joel Lord

I need to set all the DMARC settings on are lists to "replace from with list address". Is there an easy want to do this via cli? I could do it by viewing the web interface but we have a lot of lists.

Welcome message template errors
by Mark May 1, 2024

May 1, 2024

Hi All I'm getting errors when a custom "Welcome message" template is in place [list:user:notice:welcome]. Case: Subscribing a new user via the admin "Mass subscribe". Although the new user is successfully subscribed, a welcome message is not sent and the following error message displays on the webpage. === HTTP Error 400: HTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=8000): Read timed out. (read timeout=5) === And the site-owner receives an email with ... ==== Internal Server Error: /mailman3/lists/ DoesNotExist at /mailman3/lists/ Site matching query does not exist. Request Method: GET Request URL: http://<REDACTED-PUBLIC-IPv4-ADDRESS>/mailman3/lists/ Django Version: 4.2.11 Python Executable: /opt/mailman/venv/bin/python3 Python Version: 3.11.2 ... etc ... === Regarding the second line in the email - my thinking is that it should be looking in "/opt/mailman/mm/var/lists" and not "/mailman3/lists/". If that's right, where would I look to change that directive? If not, any other clues would be greatly appreciated. The error doesn't occur if the is no custom "Welcome message" template - ie. the user is sent the default welcome message. $ mailman info GNU Mailman 3.3.9 (Tom Sawyer) Python 3.11.2 (main, Mar 13 2023, 12:18:29) [GCC 12.2.0] config file: /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg REST root url: http://localhost:8001/3.1/

Mailman with Python 3.12
by Andrew Hodgson April 26, 2024

April 26, 2024

Hi. What's the latest on Mailman with Python 3.12? Looking at Ubuntu 24.04 upgrade plans and realised it comes with Python 3.12. Ubuntu are shipping Mailman packages from Debian so not sure if they have made any changes to make Python 3.12 work. I don't use those packages myself. Andrew.
