How To Install Mailman 3 on Debian 10 (Complete Guide)
by Brian Carpenter Feb. 25, 2025

Feb. 25, 2025

I have finished my how-to install Mailman 3 on Debian 10 completed to the point where you can use it to get a fully functional Mailman 3 environment up and running. This is a comprehensive guide that walks you through installing EVERYTHING (currently!) that Mailman 3 needs to run. It also makes updating Mailman 3/Postorius/Hyperkitty very easy. I have not added the update directions yet but will very soon. I also plan on adding a section on setting up DKIM and Xapian with Mailman 3. I hope this helps those who wish to get a Mailman 3 server up and running quickly and brings a sense of sanity to the confusion regarding the various documentation out there concerning the installation of Mailman 3/Postorius/Hyperkitty. I intend to add a How-to for Ubuntu 20 at some point. Without further ado: https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Howto_Install_Mailman3_On_Debian10 I am sure the above guide can use improvements. Feel free to contact me off-list to point out mistakes/improvements, etc. -- Brian Carpenter Harmonylists.com Emwd.com

Hyperkitty performance problem
by Tobias Diekershoff Feb. 20, 2025

Feb. 20, 2025

Hey all, last week we caught some AI bots causing high LOAD on our mailman3 servers archive, that we blocked with nginx rules. I'm not sure if it is related to this incident, but we noticed this when analyzing the log files at the time. In the mailman.log hyperkitty is listed 10k times and more to archive a single mail over the time of 2h, seemingly all with the same process ID > (1186) HyperKitty archived message [...] The mailman3-web.log has matching log entries that the mail was archived > hyperkitty.views.mailman Archived message every 0.5 seconds. In the web interface to the archive, the mail is only listed once though. My suspicion is, that these archiving processes are now overloading the system, preventing a timely catching up work of the queued messages. I could not find anything in the Mailman3 nor Hyperkitty documentation to better distribute the system resources to the Mailman runner or prevent Hyperkitty to restart archiving a mail over and over again. Any hint about where to look for the reason of this is highly appreciated.

The paradox of VERP probe messages
by Jeremy Stanley Feb. 2, 2025

Feb. 2, 2025

tl;dr: Is there a way to have VERP probe messages not include copies of the bounce message that triggered them? Longer form... Some months ago I turned on bounce processing for a fairly large list with a long history, because I could see from the MTA logs that there were easily hundreds of old subscribers whose addresses had become defunct and this seemed like a great way to clean that up and make the server more conscientious at not repeatedly trying to deliver messages to sites that were just going to reject them. This worked really well. Until legitimate subscribers also started to get removed, that is, due primarily to false positives from overzealous spam filters. I had previously read about MM3's VERP probe message feature, which seemed to solve the main reason I had kept bounce processing disabled in the MM2 days, and thought it was on by default but clearly it wasn't. So I found the necessary config option and switched that on. This worked really well. Until legitimate subscribers started to get removed again, that is, due primarily to false positives from overzealous spam filters. See, I realized that the VERP probes were helpfully including copies of the most recent bounce for that user, and those NDRs quite often helpfully included their own copies of the messages which had been bounced. So if a subscriber's MTA was rejecting a message because the content looked like spam, then there was a good chance it would also reject the VERP probe message because it included the same content which had caused the earlier rejection. The VERP probe feature was essentially defeating its own purpose as a neutral confirmation that the subscriber hadn't been rejecting messages due to their content. This behavior raises a more significant concern as well. The MTA on the Mailman server in this case (Exim if it matters) wants to perform batch deliveries when there are multiple subscribers who all share the same remote MTAs. If multiples of those reject a list post, then the NDR back to Mailman aggregates those multiple rejections into a single message. If that incident triggers a VERP probe, the bulk NDR enumerating the addresses of all the subscribers who were rejected gets forwarded along as part of the VERP probe, disclosing a potentially sensitive litany of random subscriber addresses to other subscribers within that batch. I don't know whether this is a misconfiguration, or an unintended consequence of the intersection of Mailman and MTA features. While I understand that the inclusion of a bounce sample within a VERP probe may be a way to take some workload off list admins in that users can possibly see a message/rejection to explain the reason for the probe, the downsides of that choice make the feature unfortunately unusable for some lists that could otherwise have benefited from it. Am I possibly missing an existing switch that could make VERP probe messages *not* include copies of the bounces that triggered them? This is in some ways similar to the problems I've noticed with message hold notifications to moderators including copies of the held messages, since these are (at least in the case of the lists I manage) often spam, so has a tendency to cause the mail providers for the list moderators to start considering the mailing list server a spam source. If there were a switch to make message hold notifications to moderators *not* include copies of the messages themselves, I'd start allowing moderator notifications again. Suggestions welcome! Also willing to try to submit patches to enable some of these solutions if they don't already exist. And thanks to anyone who read this far! -- Jeremy Stanley

messages with attachments, without text discarded silently
by Schulz Feb. 1, 2025

Feb. 1, 2025

Using the current mailman version, I can reproduce the following: - send a text-formatted email with attachment but without text body to a list. - the msg will be received by mailman - the msg shows up in shunt, the log shows: ile "/usr/lib/python3.12/email/message.py", line 343, in set_payload payload = payload.encode(charset.output_charset, 'surrogateescape') ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 10-17: ordinal not in range(128) an attempt to unpickle the file leads to the same error. I know it's uncommon to send emails without txt but with attachments - but it may happen; at least we would welcome an error message.

Occasionally "The content of this message was lost."
by Frank Richter Jan. 30, 2025

Jan. 30, 2025

Hello, occasionally we face the problem "The content of this message was lost." when handling a message on hold. We use the mailman3 packages on Debian 12: 3.3.8-2~deb12u2 GNU Mailman 3.3.8 (Tom Sawyer) Python 3.11.2 (main, Nov 30 2024, 21:22:50) [GCC 12.2.0] with postgresql, exim and Apache httpd on the same machine.

No recent activity discussions and activity overview shown. Only a spinning wheel.

I have tried to find an equal issue, but could not find it. If so, sorry for the doubling... I have recently setup a fresh mailman3 installation on my debian12 box. It works fine.

Adding Mass Subscribe custom template error
by Arte Chambers Jan. 29, 2025

Jan. 29, 2025

I am trying to test some different templates however after adding a new template I get an error when adding new list members. The member is added to the list however the welcome message isn't sent to the user. I'm getting the following error when using mass subscription on a testing list with a custom template loaded for [list:user:notice:welcome] ``` HTTP Error 400: HTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=8000): Read timed out. (read timeout=5) ``` The template has the text "Testing Template" I'm not sure why it's timing out but when I remove the custom template it works as expected. The user is added to the list however doesn't get the custom welcome message. mailman.log: ``` [28/Jan/2025:20:22:47 +0000] "GET /3.1/lists/ testing.list.louisvillecommunitygrocery.com HTTP/1.1" 200 482 "-" "GNU Mailman REST client v3.3.5" Jan 28 20:22:52 2025 (1977989) deque: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 536, in _make_request response = conn.getresponse() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/urllib3/connection.py", line 507, in getresponse httplib_response = super().getresponse() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.12/http/client.py", line 1428, in getresponse response.begin() File "/usr/lib/python3.12/http/client.py", line 331, in begin version, status, reason = self._read_status() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.12/http/client.py", line 292, in _read_status line = str(self.fp.readline(_MAXLINE + 1), "iso-8859-1") ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.12/socket.py", line 707, in readinto return self._sock.recv_into(b) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ TimeoutError: timed out The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/requests/adapters.py", line 667, in send resp = conn.urlopen( ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 843, in urlopen retries = retries.increment( ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/urllib3/util/retry.py", line 474, in increment raise reraise(type(error), error, _stacktrace) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/urllib3/util/util.py", line 39, in reraise raise value File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 789, in urlopen response = self._make_request( ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 538, in _make_request self._raise_timeout(err=e, url=url, timeout_value=read_timeout) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 369, in _raise_timeout raise ReadTimeoutError( urllib3.exceptions.ReadTimeoutError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=8000): Read timed out.

mailman3-web postorious error "invalid request block size: 14056 (max 4096)...skip"
by Frederik Jan. 28, 2025

Jan. 28, 2025

Until about one month ago, I had mailman3 and mailman3-web successfully running on Debian 12. However, when I access any page such as https://example.com/mailman3/postorius/lists/ now, I just get a 500 server error. /var/log/mailman3/web/mailman-web.log logs this at every request: invalid request block size: 14056 (max 4096)...skip I read somewhere that adding buffer-size = 65536 to uwsgi.ini might help. It indeed makes a difference, but unfortunately I just get another error instead: [pid: 4067215|app: -1|req: -1/1] () {256 vars in 14055 bytes} [Tue Jan 28 18:06:30 2025] => generated 0 bytes in 0 msecs ( 500) 0 headers in 0 bytes (1 switches on core 0) There are no other errors in the logs. I proxy mailman in Apache like this: Alias /mailman3/favicon.ico /var/lib/mailman3/web/static/postorius/img/favicon.ico Alias /mailman3/static /var/lib/mailman3/web/static <Directory "/var/lib/mailman3/web/static"> Require all granted </Directory> <IfModule mod_proxy_uwsgi.c> ProxyPass /mailman3/favicon.ico ! ProxyPass /mailman3/static ! ProxyPass /mailman3 unix:/run/mailman3-web/uwsgi.sock|uwsgi://localhost-mailman3/ </IfModule> and mailman3's uwsgi.ini looks like this: [uwsgi] uwsgi-socket = /run/mailman3-web/uwsgi.sock enable-threads = true chdir = /usr/share/mailman3-web wsgi-file = wsgi.py master = true process = 2 threads = 2 uid = www-data gid = www-data env = HOME=/tmp plugins = python3 attach-daemon = python3 manage.py qcluster logto = /var/log/mailman3/web/mailman-web.log buffer-size = 65536 Any idea what could be wrong or how to debug this further? I'm using mailman3-full 3.3.8-2~deb12u2 and mailman3-web 0+20240312-1 packages.

Filter response from Mailman3 held messages queue.
by Andy Matthews Jan. 28, 2025

Jan. 28, 2025

I'm working on an update to a portion of my team's application. It retrieves the held messages from Mailman and returns them to the client so that our admins can approve/reject them. At the moment it works as intended, but displays far too much information because Mailman is returning the entire email, with headers (see below). I've found some libraries which can parse the message property and extract the relevant bits, but I'd rather pass some sort of flag or filter to the initial Mailman 3 API call and get back less information. I've looked through the documentation but I'm not finding anything of the sort. Would this be useful? ``` { "request_id": "1", "original_size": 855, "sender": "dev(a)email.org", "subject": "Testing one two three", "hold_date": new Date(), "msg": "Received: from [127.0.0.1] (localhost [127.0.0.1])\n\t(using TLSv1.3 with cipher TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 (128/128 bits)\n\t key-exchange X25519 server-signature RSA-PSS (2048 bits) server-digest SHA256)\n\t(No client certificate requested)\n\t(Authenticated sender: dev(a)email.org)\n\tby mailman.default.svc.cluster.local (Postfix) with ESMTPSA id A48A33E9849\n\tfor <abc-announce(a)email.org>; Thu, 23 Jan 2025 21:24:11 +0000 (UTC)\nMessage-ID: <3ecbaccf-f65a-4ce5-bdfa-e08b5659dc32(a)email.org>\nDate: Thu, 23 Jan 2025 15:24:11 -0600\nMIME-Version: 1.0\nUser-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird\nContent-Language: en-US\nTo: abc-announce(a)email.org\nFrom: Dev Tester <dev(a)email.org>\nSubject: Testing one two three\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\nX-MailFrom: dev(a)email.org\nX-Mailman-Rule-Hits: nonmember-moderation\nX-Mailman-Rule-Misses: dmarc-mitigation; no-senders; approved; emergency; loop; banned-address; member-moderation\nMessage-ID-Hash: XM4OS47LU7DRYIO74WB5K4W345NPZ37O\nX-Message-ID-Hash: XM4OS47LU7DRYIO74WB5K4W345NPZ37O\n\nThis is a single line message body.\n\n" } ```
