Django site - how to create programmatically - new install
by daniel.botting＠codethink.co.uk 03 Oct '22

Hi all, I've mainly setup mailman3 to replace our mailman 2.1 install using Ansible, a point I could do with some assistance on is setting the fqdn used programmatically. I've been doing alot of reading before creating this thread. To create a domain I currently navigate to: https://serverfqdn.com/postorius/domains/ and click 'Add Domain'. I believe this is setting the name of the Django site, please accept my apologies if I'm wrong and the SITE_ID=1 is then used, I am only planning to use one domain only. I'm using Postgres and when I check the contents of the Django_mailman3_maildomain table as below afterwards: mailman3web=# TABLE django_mailman3_maildomain; id | mail_domain | site_id ----+--------------------------------------+--------- 1 | mailman3-test2.guest.codethink.co.uk | 1 Many thanks Daniel

Upgrade Mailmam Core from
by sascha.rissel＠gmail.com 03 Oct '22

03 Oct '22

Hello, I have newly set up Mailman 3 on Ubuntu 20.04. Sending and receiving mails between list members does work, but I am currently experiencing two issues: 1) a lists non-members who send mails to the list don't get notified about the message being held for moderation. Moderation itself doesn't seem to work. The moderation list is always empty. 2) Archiving is activated within list settings, but there isn't any archive created. I found this thread, where the first of these issues is also described: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… Here there is an incompatibility between Mailmain 3 and Python depicted, which also seems to affect me. I am running Mailman 3.2.2 on Python 3 .8.10. So I need to either upgrade Mailman Core or downgrade Python. I already did > apt-get upgrade > apt-get update Unfortunately this didn't upgrade Mailman Core's version. Which steps do I have to undertake to upgrade Mailman Core? Regards, Sascha.

All addresses in a bounced list posting seem to be considered as bouncing
by Andy Smith 01 Oct '22

01 Oct '22

Hi, I noticed this happened (bounce.log): Jul 09 12:46:51 2022 (71506) Member xxxxx(a)xxxxx.force9.co.uk already scored a bounce on list users.mailman.bitfolk.com today. Jul 09 12:46:51 2022 (71506) Bounce message for a non subscriber: Email users-leave(a)mailman.bitfolk.com is not a subcriber of users.mailman.bitfolk.com Jul 09 12:46:51 2022 (71506) Member andy(a)bitfolk.com on list users.mailman.bitfolk.com, bounce score = 1. Jul 09 12:46:51 2022 (71506) Bounce message for a non subscriber: Email users(a)mailman.bitfolk.com is not a subcriber of users.mailman.bitfolk.com What happened here is that a reply to one of my posts was rejected by subscriber xxxxx(a)xxxxx.force9.co.uk at smtp time (Exim mainlog): 2022-07-09 12:46:13 1oA9qc-007qOx-0T ** xxxxx(a)xxxxx.force9.co.uk R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp H=mx.avasin.plus.net [212.159.8.200] X=TLS1.2:ECDHE_X25519__RSA_PSS_RSAE_SHA256__AES_256_GCM:256 CV=yes DN="businessCategory=Private Organization,jurisdictionOfIncorporationCountryName=GB,serialNumber=03279013,C=GB,L=Sheffield,O=Plusnet plc,CN=mx.avasin.plus.net": SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data: 552 Spam Message Rejected The message contained my email address (andy(a)bitfolk.com) in quoted text, since it was a reply to a message of mine, and also contained addresses from the list's footer, which accounts for the log messages about users-leave(a)mailman.bitfolk.com and users(a)mailman.bitfolk.com. I'm concerned that Mailman seems to have scored my address as bouncing even though it isn't, merely because it appears inside a message that was rejected. Is that expected? Is there any way to avoid it? I see that Mailman has a bunch of heuristics to parse bounce messages. In this case though, there shouldn't have been a bounce message received to users-bounces@, as this was an SMTP-time rejection. Mailman seems to have parsed addresses out of the actual mail it was sending, rather than only scoring the subscriber address it was trying to send a list posting to. Cheers, Andy

Help addressing some issues with mailman 3 docker images
by Clark Boylan 01 Oct '22

01 Oct '22

Hello, Some of us at opendev.org are looking to migrate to mailman 3 for our list servers. We've got about 98% of things sorted out using maxking's docker images (thank you for publishing those along with excellent documentation). There are however a small number of things that we've run into that we'd like to address before we take this to production. * Mailman 3 relies on lynx to convert html email to txt email. Lynx isn't currently installed in the docker images, but I've pushed a PR to add it to the images. https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/pull/552 * There are some user and group inconsistencies between the images. Not a deal breaker, but would be good to understand if these are intentional or if they can be changed without massively impacting people. https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/issues/550 * Issues with ALLOWED_HOSTS settings making assumptions about the environment and its inputs. We've worked around these by bind mounting in our own settings.py with these problems addressed, but it would be good to address them in case anyone else has run into this too. Details in these github issues: https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/issues/548 https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/issues/549 Ideally we'd avoid forking the images downstream and modifying them ourselves, but it seems the docker image repo is not getting a ton of attention recently. Totally understand that this may not be the biggest priority. We're happy to help address these by writing fixes and sending pull requests, but guidance would be appreciated before we head too far down that road. Once again thank you for the great documentation and images. They have already gotten us most of the way to production and the issues we've found are relatively minor. Clark

serving /static-content within /mailman3-web-Folder - change in recent mm release
by Stefan Bauer 30 Sep '22

30 Sep '22

Hi Folks, during our migration to latest MM we noticed, that nowadays, the static content is not served from within mailmans base directory, but from outside. old MM3: domain.tld/mailman3/static/django-mailman3/js/main.js new MM3: domain.tld/static/django-mailman3/js/main.js Is there a chance to change it to the old behavior? We are running an additional nginx-proxy in front of mailman-server and dont want to forward /static, but only /mailman3. Thank you.

2 postfix instances and 1 mailman instance possible?
by charlie derr 29 Sep '22

29 Sep '22

Greetings, We will be (temporarily) splitting our single postfix instance and running two separate instances on our email server. Can we configure mailman to listen to one of them and send to the other? If so, please do direct us towards how we would go about configuring mailman to do this. versions: mailman: 2.1.15-30.el7_9.2 postfix: 2.10.1-9.el7 (both via rh/centos repo(s)) thanks so very much for any assistance/direction you're able to provide, ~c -- Charlie Derr Director of Instructional Technology Bard College at Simon's Rock https://simons-rock.edu Encryption key: http://hope.simons-rock.edu/~cderr/ 413-528-7344 Pronouns: he/him/his

Start thread with list-address instead of own
by Stefan Bauer 29 Sep '22

29 Sep '22

HI folks, latest mm3, when starting a new thread via mm3-webinterface -> Archives -> select List -> Start a new thread. It creates the thread with _my own_ personal address. How can i set the "sender" address as the list-address? IIRC with an older mm version, it had a different behavior. Any help is greatly appreciated. thank you. Stefan

what process creates webui tables (mailmanweb db)?
by tflatley＠gmail.com 27 Sep '22

27 Sep '22

hello again, running a venv installation i think the tables in 2 databases (mailman/mailmanweb) were initially created by running mailman-web migrate - this wrapper is not available in a package install - so i think i need to run something like this after editing my settings.py file python3 manage.py migrate Operations to perform: Apply all migrations: account, admin, auth, contenttypes, django_mailman3, django_q, hyperkitty, postorius, sessions, sites, socialaccount Running migrations: No migrations to apply. Your models have changes that are not yet reflected in a migration, and so won't be applied. Run 'manage.py makemigrations' to make new migrations, and then re-run 'manage.py migrate' to apply them. i do see tables in the mailman db but mailmanweb is empty - is there a different flag i need to run to seed the mailmanweb db? Thanks

27 Sep '22

Hi, I am running Mailman3 on Debian 11 with Apache and MariaDB. Single installation. When I edit a footer from the WebUI templates, it doesn't show in the messages. Could it be an issue with the related DB? If so - what do I need to change? Many thanks in advance for any leads! Chris
