best pratice - set default MM settings and make them update-save
by Stefan Bauer 17 May '22

17 May '22

Dear mailman-experts, we're running Mailman Core Version 3.3.5 Mailman Core API Version 3.1 Mailman Core Python Version 3.10.4 on Ubuntu 22 with a python venv. Until now, I modified several files manually to adjust mailmans behavior and have to check several boxes when new lists are created. Is this still the only way to go or are there ways i can make all this more update "save" and kind of default settings? a, I removed content of /opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/mailman/templates/de/list:member:generic:footer.txt b, I set ... in /opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/mailman/styles/base.py mlist.default_member_action = Action.discard mlist.default_nonmember_action = Action.discard mlist.subscription_policy = SubscriptionPolicy.moderate mlist.send_welcome_message = False mlist.archive_policy = ArchivePolicy.never c, I always have to check the follwing manually in mailman web-interface on new lists: Settings-->List Idendity -> remove Subject Prefix Settings-->Message Acceptance -> accept immediately DMARC-Mitigation -> replace from ... unconditionally YES Thank you.

Upgrade-path from Ubuntu18LTS to recent mailman release
by Stefan Bauer 15 May '22

15 May '22

Dear Users, we are very happy mailman3-users but suffer from very old packages in Ubuntu 18LTS. Unfortunately due to some python-restrictions¹, mailman3 is broken in Ubuntu20LTS and gone² in Ubuntu 22LTS, so we do not have any working upgrade-path :/ What do you recommend? Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance. Stefan ¹ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mailman3/+bug/1877701 ² https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=mailman3-full

Can login at /admin, but cannot login at the account/login page.
by pabsta＠gmail.com 11 May '22

11 May '22

Hi All, thanks for your contibution to opensource softwares. I have done the installation walkthrough on the wiki page (thanks to Brian Carpenter) and I am almost there. I can run the three services and they provide the relevant web interfaces (admin, postorius, hyperkitty). In comparison to the walkthrough, I did two changes; First, I used different port numbers , as it would otherwise conflict with other services on the server. Second, I disabled the social accounts authentification mechanisms. I am still running on sqllite, as I am still testing things (one task at a time). Using my "superuser" credentials, I can log to the admin section in a fraction of a second. The server response time is less than one second. Once logged in, I can navigate through all the site as an authenticated user, including in the postorius pages related to list management. The services work normally. However, if logout and attempt to login from the postorius website, I get a « 502 bad gateway » error after roughly 30 seconds. The logs in Systemctl for gunicorn register a "DIGEST-MD5 common mech free" error message and the nginx error logs just show a connection drop: 2021/08/12 18:11:09 [error] 26026#26026: *31 upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream, client: [ip redacted], server: [domain redacted], request: "POST /accounts/login/ HTTP/2.0", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:8006/accounts/login/", host: "[domain redacted]", referrer: "https://[domain redacted]/accounts/login/?next=/mailman3/lists/" Two additional clues may help understanding what is going on: 1- If I attempt to login with improper credentials, the services respond normally, and I get the expected red box with "invalid credentials" message on the postorius page. It is only when proper credentials are given that the connection fails. 2- If I attempt to register a new email adress, the services also fail to respond (although with no DIGEST-MD5 message registered). It thus seems to be a post "POST" problem, but what puzzles me is that it is not an issue for the admin page. Below the relevant sections of my settings.py page. The skipped ([...]) sections are as in the walkthrough files. In particular, the AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS, the EMAIL_BACKEND are as is and the "USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST" is still commented. ##Settings.py [...] # SECURITY WARNING: keep the secret key used in production secret!

How can I remove anything added by Mailman 3 to the forwarded email
by gscaglia＠ksdata.it 09 May '22

09 May '22

I need to use Mailman 3 exclusively for forwarding emails to my customers divided by type. The emails must arrive exactly as they are, without any additions, and the lists are managed only by me: the customer ignores that he is subscribed to a list and receives the message as if it were one to one. How can I remove anything added by Mailman 3 to the forwarded message, therefore also the links for managing my membership (unsubscribe and modify)? Thanks a lot, Luca

Pb with archive display
by Pierre Malard 05 May '22

05 May '22

Hello, We have a fully installed mailman3 on our Debian 11 (mailman3-full 3.3.3-1). We imported our old mailman 2.1.29-1 lists with no real problems :-) On the other hand Mailman3 does not seem to take into account the display of the archives. The contributions are indeed in the directory "/var/lib/mailman3/archives/hyperkitty/spool" but HyperKitty does not take them into account when displayed on the Web interface.

Spam in Hyperkitty archive
by Eggert Ehmke 04 May '22

04 May '22

I have my mail server set up with spamassassin/amavis that seems to work reasonable. One particular mailing list is open for non-members, so spam is to be expected. However, even spam to this mailing list that is filtered and moved to the quarantine folder, shows up in the archive! How can I set up the spam filter so that does not happen?

add custom styles to postorius list creation menu
by Michael Hazan 03 May '22

03 May '22

Hello, When creating a list via postorius, i can see 3 style appear (announce, discussion, private). Is it possible to either create a new style and add it to that list or modify one of those style ? I’m using the virtual env setup and i have been trying to manipulate via the mailman-web shell but it doesn’t work when adding a new style. I need to delegate list creation to admins and I don’t want them to have to redo every list settings for every list they create when they are the same style. Also, coming from mailman2, you could directly set the members post moderation action when subscribing, now you can only do it via the user menu, is there a way to automate this in mm3 ? Thanks for the help. Michael

Templates do not work
by Eggert Ehmke 03 May '22

03 May '22

I created some templates in Postorius to get personalized notifications when there are moderator requests. The notifications I get seem to be the standard texts. When I look into mailman/ mm/var/templates the directory is empty. Nevertheless, the templates I create in Postorius seem to be stored (where?), they just do not work.
