400 error on held messages
by Dan Caballero Oct. 5, 2023

Oct. 5, 2023

I've got a couple of lists throwing this error when attempting to view "Held Messages" HTTP Error 400: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'oAAAANSUhEUgAACfYAAAiVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAACfYAAAYKCAIAAAAQvT9CAAAACXBIWXMAAC4jAAAuIwF4pT92AAAg\r\n' Any ideas on what could be causing this? Database corruption of some kind? Dan Caballero Caltech

Mailman 3 Privacy Policies, GDPR, etc and social logins
by Jered Floyd Oct. 5, 2023

Oct. 5, 2023

Greetings, I host a variety of lists for social, community, and software projects, and updated my infrastructure from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3 last year. As part of this, I enabled Django allauth modules to simplify login and management for subscribers. Recently, Facebook notified me that they would be disabling the "application" because it failed to provide a sufficient Privacy Policy. Previously I had linked the app to [ https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/privacy.html, | https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/privacy.html, ] but they have said: Platform Terms 4.b: Your privacy policy must comply with applicable law and regulations and must accurately and clearly explain what data you are Processing, how you are Processing it, the purposes for which you are Processing it, and how Users may request deletion of that data. During testing, we found that your privacy policy doesn’t explain how users can request data deletion. Update your privacy policy to include this information before you submit an appeal. This is a bit of a headache. Do we have a draft of a community Privacy Policy for a vanilla Mailman 3 install that meets Facebook's requirements? Is this going to be a constantly unraveling thread of future GDPR and Right to Be Forgotten troubles, since there doesn't seem to be an easy way to scrub a subscriber from Hyperkitty archives if they request so? How have others addressed this situation? Regards, --Jered

All list messages shunted due to mailman core database lock
by Ryan Curtin Oct. 4, 2023

Oct. 4, 2023

Hi there, I have been trying to debug a git commit development list for a project I maintain: http://lists.mlpack.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/mlpack-git@lists.mlpack.or… The list is run on mailman3 as provided by Debian. Messages are successfully received---you can see all the test messages in the archives I just linked to if you want to click on it. However, no messages are actually relayed to subscribers. I spent a while digging into logs and found that every message sent to the list results in an error like this in /var/log/mailman3/mailman.log: ``` Oct 02 17:01:26 2023 (2957556) Uncaught runner exception: (raised as a result of Query-invoked autoflush; consider using a session.no_autoflush block if this flush is occurring prematurely) (sqlite3.OperationalError) database is locked [SQL: UPDATE mailinglist SET last_post_at=?, post_id=?

Most threads I have read appear to be related to the Django interface encountering a locked database, but this looks different---it seems mailman core is having the problem, not anything having to do with mailman3-web or Django. Does anyone have any thoughts on things I can do to fix this error? I am not a mailman3 expert (and to be perfectly honest I don't want to be one, I just want to post things to the list :)). One extra caveat: rebooting the machine I am using is not a realistic option. Thanks in advance for any help. Ryan -- Ryan Curtin | "Not like this... not like this." ryan(a)ratml.org | - Switch

parallel processing of out queue messages
by Dan Caballero Oct. 4, 2023

Oct. 4, 2023

Hello, I have tried increasing the number of runners to alleviate a backlog of messages in the "out" queue. I increased the out runners to from 32 to 64. However, I'm not seeing a significant increase in the processing of "out" messages. I've seen at most 12 ".bak" files in the out queue after increasing the runner instances. Is there another configuration needed beyond the number of runner instances to get more messages processed at once? Thanks as always for your help! -- Dan

Postorius is not working (throws "Error 500" suddenly after changing POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL and changing back)

Templates via Webinterface are i) not set, and ii) set templates (files) are not shown in the Webinterface
by Wikinaut Sept. 30, 2023

Sept. 30, 2023

I use mailman3 since a while, for some of my lists I have been using - list:member:digest:footer.txt - list:member:regular:footer.txt When I go to "Vorlagen" (LC: DE) (templates) in the web interface, I do _not_ see these two templates! When I got o my newest mailing list and when I setup templates via the Webinterfaces, these are shown there, but are neither working nor seen as files. What's wrong here? Is that a problem of the localisation language (DE)? Bug, feature or misunderstanding of myself?

Is there a way of recording bounce messages?
by Andrew Hodgson Sept. 28, 2023

Sept. 28, 2023

Hi. I recently had an incident of all gmail.com members being bounced off one email list (around 180 subscribers). The messages recording the bounce don't include the original DSN. Is there a way of getting the DSN recorded? I'm sure it will give me some nonsense Gmail refusal message but I would like to identify if messages are bouncing for specific users, or if I am harming my reputation by sending to disabled accounts etc. Thanks. Andrew.

Mailing list name with capital letters?
by mrl＠psfc.mit.edu Sept. 26, 2023

Sept. 26, 2023

How can I create a mailing list with capital letters? Right now, only the first letter can be capitalized. Some of my mailing list names in mailman 2 had capital letters. When I migrated them to mailman 3, the capital letters remained. So it should be possible to create new ones? Thanks. - Mark

Mailman 3 - Header Filter
by Thomas Lehker Sept. 25, 2023

Sept. 25, 2023

I am a Mailman neophyte and need help with filtering posts based on the subject field. We have a few list owners that want 'Out of Office' replies discarded. When using the below syntax in Postorius/Header filter the post is not discarded but ends up in 'Held Messages'. Is there any syntax I am missing or a setting in the lists that needs to be disabled/enabled to get these posts dropped? Any help is much appreciated.

Issues with @gmail.com addresses
by Mohsen Masoudfar Sept. 25, 2023

Sept. 25, 2023

Hi, since 8/1/2023 I get complains from users with @gmail.com addresses, that they are not getting any emails. I checked the logs and I see that the emails are going out: to=<xxxx(a)gmail.com>, relay=email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com[35.169.171.20]:587, delay=0.46, delays=0.03/0.06/0.13/0.24, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Ok xxx ) But it seems the users are getting email delivered to them. I’ve advised them to check their spam, promotions, and social folders and to add the list address to their email safe-senders lists, but still no success. Is there any way to help this list members? Thanks
