automation of mailman3 core startup
by Ralf Wiegand 27 May '20

27 May '20

|mailman# source venv-3.6/bin/activate| |(venv-3.6) [mailman@empire mailman]$ cd mailman| |(venv-3.6) [mailman@empire mailman]$ python setup.py develop| |(venv-3.6) [mailman@empire mailman]$ mailman info| | | |Hello Mark -| |Question: The above assumes that the user mailman will run the mailman3 core application. So the user "mailman" has all the correct permissions. The issue I have is to automate this part, so at start up mailman3 will be running, at shutdown, being shutdown properly. | | | |How can I do this?| | | |Ralf |

Mailman rewrite the Cc header incorrectly
by Alan So 27 May '20

27 May '20

I just notice that if I send an email to a list with a Cc header broken into multiple lines and the pair of double quotes are put in different lines, the email addresses afterwards will be wrongly rewritten. For example, CC: "ABC DEF (XYZ)" <name(a)example.com> It will become the following after going through the mailing list: CC: XYZ <"ABC DEF"@mail.server.name> It seems that Outlook often split the To/Cc header into multiple lines and they often add double quotes to the full name of the users. Is the rewriting of Cc header handled by Mailman's code or another Python class? Thanks. Regards, Alan So

Is there an Emergency Moderation function (similar to the one that Mailman 2 had) with Mailman 3 core/Postorius? Thanks, Brian

Migrating Mailman 3 lists
by Brian Carpenter 26 May '20

26 May '20

Hello Mailman users, I know how to migrate mailman 2 lists to a new mailman 3 server. However I do not know how to migrate a mailman 3 list from one mailman 3 server to another one. Are there any instructions or protocol on how to accomplish this? The Mailman 3 server I want to migrate *from* was setup using Docker. The Mailman 3 server I want to migrate these lists *to* was setup using a python virtual environment via pip. -- Please let me know if you need further assistance. Thank you for your business.

performance report - mailman 3.3.1rc1 / postorius 1.3.1
by sunil soprey 26 May '20

26 May '20

Hi all - I just wanted to share my perf-load results of Mailman3. Hopefully community finds helpful. I realized mailman3 cannot run on AWS t3a* ( 2cpu or 4cpu @ 8 gigs ) Specs: AWS EC2 - m5a.xl and c5.xl Version: mailman 3.3.1rc1 What: Duration load test of 30k emails across 200 lists. Some lists have a depth of 9k users, other lists have 100 emails address. * create 200 lists of random names Results * Postorius kept hanging on vanilla AWS LTS and LTS2 image. I had to tune the kernel settings ( somax, syslimits, tcp wmem) * gunicorn.cfg must be created and workers/threads property must be added. I noticed hanging python and tcp/socket errors * Total run time = 50mins for fresh-load

Postorius, Hyperkitty new release candidates
by Abhilash Raj 24 May '20

24 May '20

Hi Everyone, I am pleased to announce a couple of more releases: - Postorius: 1.3.3rc1 Changelog: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/postorius/en/latest/news.html#rc1 Download: https://pypi.org/project/postorius/1.3.3rc1/ - Hyperkitty: 1.3.3rc1 Changelog: https://hyperkitty.readthedocs.io/en/latest/news.html#rc1 Download: https://pypi.org/project/HyperKitty/1.3.3rc1/ - Mailmanclient: 3.3.1rc1 Changelog: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailmanclient/en/latest/src/mailmanclien… Download: https://pypi.org/project/mailmanclient/3.3.1rc1/ - Django-mailman3: 1.3.3rc1 Changelog: https://gitlab.com/mailman/django-mailman3/-/blob/master/README.rst Download: https://pypi.org/project/django-mailman3/1.3.3rc1/ Python 3.6+ and Django 2.0+ is supported for all of them. Django 3.0 support for Hyperkitty requires manually upgrading a dependency (django-haystack>=3.0b2, once a stable version of this has been released, it shouldn't require manually upgrading). There are tons of bug-fixes across the board and some new features. Biggest visible change is switch to Bootstrap 4, which has been long pending for us. Bootstrap 4 completely changes the CSS grid model using the new Flexbox. There might be some small changes or breakages when using on mobile. Please report such issues to us via Gitlab! Some other notable changes are in Postorius, which includes many more list settings exposed include content filtering settings, bounce processing (which was added in the previous release of Mailman Core) settings and some other ones. You can now also specify a reason when rejecting held messages. There was also a gnarly bug, which caused the name of some members to be the string "None". For the longest time, I couldn't figure out the reason for it, but it ended up being a simple fix in mailmanclient's json serialization of display_name, which would result in Python's None value being passed as string "None" to Mailman's API for subscription. There is also better support for filtering visible lists based on the current vhost, which I see a few people are already waiting for from mailman-users list. A full changelog has been added to each project in the top. These are still pre-releases and if you are installing via pip, you would need the `--pre` flag, for e.g. $ pip install --pre --upgrade postorius hyperkitty As with all other releases, these have also been running on mail.python.org and lists.mailman3.org for some time now, so it should be relatively safe to upgrade to. Stable releases for this is now scheduled in 1 week, hopefully, next weekend. -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

Updating from Ubuntu-20.04 LTE installation
by Peter Adebahr 24 May '20

24 May '20

Hi Mark, thank you for the fast solution of our subscription problem - which brings me to the next step: Our installation was done by "apt-get install" in Ubuntu 20, thus still running MM 3.2.2 (and python 3.8.2). Do you have any advise, how to upgrade from there to your current version? I know this might be a bit dangerous, but with today's VMs the risk is much less than it used to be: Do you think it would be possible, just to replace the code and library parts, keeping the database and config files as is? If not, what would you do when you have to keep the system running (except for maintenance time, of course)? Thank you again and and have a nice relaxed weekend Peter

Hyperkitty: remove discussions
by Peter Adebahr 22 May '20

22 May '20

Hi *, is it possible to remove discussions from the archives? As it were tests only, removing the complete archive would be ok, too. For the customer, we would like to start this list with a clean archive :) Thank you Peter

Subscribing by E-Mail
by Peter Adebahr 22 May '20

22 May '20

Hi *, on MM2 systems, we used to subscribe people via an external application by sending an e-mail to the request address with a subject of "subscribe address=user(a)example.com" This returns a "bad argument" in MM3 - any ideas how to solve this? We cannot set the actual from-address in a foreign application... Thank you Peter

OpenID Connect support
by Gilles Filippini 21 May '20

21 May '20

Hi, As I understand it the OpenID authentication mode available in Mailman3 refers to the now deprecated version 2.0 of the protocol. Am I correct? Is there any ongoing work to bring support for OpenID Connect? Thanks in advance, _g.
