Finding a user to delete them
by Quanah Gibson-Mount March 17, 2020

March 17, 2020

Due to a bug in mailman3, I have an incorrect user that's been created via github auth that has no confirmed email address yet. I've been poking around the user manager documentation (why is there no UI for user management???), and after adding in bits that are missing from the official documentation (<https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/model/docs/usermanager…> is missing "from mailman.testing.documentation import dump_list" despite using dump_list repeatedly in its examples) I can't find the user. I have the confirmation email mailman3 sent out, that tells me the username mailman3 created for the incorrect account is "quanah98", but the user manager documentation doesn't detail how to find a user by their username, only their email. And apparently if the email hasn't been confirmed (and I *do not* want it confirmed), you can't find them by email. Suggestions on how to track down this user so I can delete them would be much appreciated.

Add old email address
by Quanah Gibson-Mount March 14, 2020

March 14, 2020

We've recently migrated our project's email lists from mailman2 to mailman3. Given the project has been around for a few decades, many people have used different email addresesses over the years, some of which they no longer have access to. However, it would be useful to still be able to associate those emails with a given account. Is there a way that I can do this as an administrator of the mailman3 system?

Using REST api to subscribe member
by Brian Carpenter March 11, 2020

March 11, 2020

I have a development server that only has Mailman core installed on it. I used a virtual environment to do the installation but I did not install Postorius or Hyperkitty as I am currently working on developing a custom u.i. for Mailman 3. My programmer said the following: "I have a problem with mailman on development server ... I was trying to add member to a list using REST api, but to no avail. After I tried all possible and impossible things, I finally looked at the logs. Error I found in log file is: IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/mailman/templates' I guess mailman was looking for a template for welcome mail, and failed for some reason. I also guess this has something to do with locale or language settings I tried googling, but couldn't find anything" The log that gave the error was /opt/mailman/mm/logs/mailman.log My programmer tried it on another server that has both Postorius and Hyperkitty working and the api call worked, i.e. added the member to the list and sent out a welcome email. So what else do I need to install to be able to use the api to add members to a list using a non-postorius interface? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks, Brian

Help on removing moderators
by sean_sullivan＠rhoworld.com March 4, 2020

March 4, 2020

Hello Mailman-users. I was hoping someone more experienced than myself would be able to help me with an issue I am currently experiencing. I have created a function to add moderators which works great, but I have also been trying to remove moderators as another function, but I am running into some issues. When I use the mailman shell based upon the documentation, it works great: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailmanclient/en/latest/src/mailmanclien… everything works as expected. However, if I try and bring that in as a function that can be used with mailman withlist, I am consistently getting errors, and being that I am not very experienced in python, it has me scratching my head to say the least. from mailmanclient import Client from mailman.interfaces.member import MemberRole, AlreadySubscribedError from mailman.testing.helpers import subscribe addresses = ['test1(a)example.com', 'test2(a)example.com', 'test3(a)example.com'] client = Client('http://localhost:8001/3.1', 'restadmin', 'restpass') def set_owners(mlist): for email_addr in addresses: try: member = subscribe(mlist, '', email=email_addr, role=MemberRole.owner ) print (member) except AlreadySubscribedError as err: print (err) def remove(mlist): my_list = client.get_list(mlist) # print(my_list.fqdn_listname) # for email_addr in addresses: # my_list.remove_owner(email_addr) The errors I am getting are: ./bin/mailman withlist -r set_owners.remove -l it-test-b(a)lists.rhoworld.com Traceback (most recent call last): File "./bin/mailman", line 8, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 764, in __call__ return self.main(*args, **kwargs) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 717, in main rv = self.invoke(ctx) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/bin/mailman.py", line 68, in invoke return super().invoke(ctx) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 1137, in invoke return _process_result(sub_ctx.command.invoke(sub_ctx)) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 956, in invoke return ctx.invoke(self.callback, **ctx.params) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 555, in invoke return callback(*args, **kwargs) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/decorators.py", line 17, in new_func return f(get_current_context(), *args, **kwargs) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/commands/cli_withlist.py", line 293, in shell r = call_name(dotted_name, m, *run_args) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/utilities/modules.py", line 70, in call_name return named_callable(*args, **kws) File "/opt/mailman3/bin/set_owners.py", line 24, in remove my_list = client.get_list(mlist) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailmanclient/client.py", line 347, in get_list 'lists/{0}'.format(fqdn_listname)) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/connection.py", line 112, in call error_msg, response, None) urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: 404 Not Found So, I am wondering, is it possible to do something like this or am I completely misunderstanding the documentation, and why do I get a 404 here, when in the shell everything works as expected. I know I must be missing something, but cannot for the life of me figure out what that is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sean

Mailman web Stopped working after upgrade
by David Krantz March 3, 2020

March 3, 2020

Hi. I have a VERY strange behaviour. I upgraded mailman3 and mailman web this weekend. It works fine (apart from ARC which don't work correctly in my setup but that is ok). But tonight the web user interface stopped working and I have not been logged in since it worked last time so something very strange is going on. I get the dreadful error message about psycopg2._psycopg is missing although it is installed both in ubuntu and in pip in the venv I run mailman. Mailman core still works fine, it is just Django being flaky. I think that this might be due to some kind of python misfeature where compiled code behaves slightly differently to interpreted code, that might explain the delay in it working initially before breaking. I have no idea of how to solve this. I have tried to uninstall and reinstlall psycopg2 in different versions without any luck. Any ideas? Logs below. I get the following in the web server error log (removing the web things that frankly are not interesting): mod_wsgi (pid=4488): Target WSGI script 'MAILMANROOT/bin/mailman-web20200229.wsgi' cannot be loaded as Python module. mod_wsgi (pid=4488): Exception occurred processing WSGI script 'MAILMANROOT/bin/mailman-web20200229.wsgi'.

Running customized version of Mailman 3
by Alan Kelm March 3, 2020

March 3, 2020

Since 2005, our organization has been running a customized version of Mailman 2 with extensions that meet our particular needs. The main novelty is support for /fixed subscription lists/, in which the list members are predetermined (corresponding to a "committee"). Fixed list subscribers are not offered the opportunity to unsubscribe, nor can others add themselves to the list. A further enhancement is /hybrid lists/ which, for example, have both a fixed and opt-in part. (This is implemented as a fixed list residing within an opt-in one in a way which is transparent to users). Our customizations consist of code adjustments (patches) to 23 files. We are considering moving to Mailman 3 and would like to do this in a way which makes it possible to periodically upgrade our installation to the newest Mailman version, without clobbering our customizations. Thus, I do not think that installing via "pip" is the right approach for us. While I'm relatively new to git and GitLab, they seem to be ideally suited to this situation. If I understand the developer documentation correctly, I start out by creating a "fork" and can later "fetch" changes from the master branch and "rebase" to bring them into our branch. I would welcome comments on what we are doing. I also wonder whether others might be interested in support for "fixed lists", if they are done in a way which can be "contributed" back into Mailman. I extend our "thank you" to the developers of Mailman who have provided the robust system which has served us well for 15 years and provides the possibility to extend this into the future. -Alan -- Alan Kelm Manager, Electronic Services Canadian Mathematical Society Tel: +1 (613) 733-2662 ext. 799 Please consider the environment.

ARC issues
by David Krantz March 2, 2020

March 2, 2020

Hi! I have now tested ARC signing of messages a bit more and have found (I think) all settings so that it works in that it generates the signed headers that ARC is. But the signature is not accepted; gmail says "body hash mismatch" and hotmail says "arc=fail (47)". I have set the following settings under the [ARC] section. I have tried both with the sig_headers set as displayed below and with it commented to lean against the defaults. I use the same key and selector as for DKIM-signing with the server's domain. The DKIM-signature is accepted. Is there any known issues with ARC that I should be aware of? I run the latest release of mailman (3.3.0 of core) on Python 3.7.6 and I use postfix as MTA. enabled: yes privkey: <my key path> selector: <my selector> domain: <my server's domain> dmarc: yes dkim: yes authserv_id: <my server's domain> trusted_authserv_ids: <my hosted domains> #sig_headers: From, Sender, Reply-To, Subject, Date, Message-ID, To, Cc, MIME-Version, Content-Type, Content-Transfer-Encoding, Content-ID, Content-Description, Resent-Date, Resent-From, Resent-Sender, Resent-To, Resent-Cc, Resent-Message-ID, In-Reply-To, References, List-Id, List-Help, List-Unsubscribe, List-Subscribe, List-Post, List-Owner, List-Archive I hope that this is something simple that I have forgot.

How to run 'manage.py update_index_one_list' command.
by Frank van den Heuvel Feb. 26, 2020

Feb. 26, 2020

I am importing old archives mbox files from Mailman2. I have fixed the archive mail address to reflect the address of the destination import. These are the steps: 1. sed 's|oldlist@oldexample\.org|testlist@example\.org|g' mbox > mbox.testlist 2. /opt/mailman/mm/bin/django-admin hyperkitty_import --since 01/01/1990 -l testlist(a)example.org mbox.testlist The output of the last command is: Computing thread structure Synchronizing properties with Mailman Warming up cache The full-text search index is not updated for this list. It will not be updated by the 'minutely' incremental update job. \ To update the index for this list, run the 'manage.py update_index_one_list testlist(a)example.org' command. The result is that the e-mail's are imported but not indexed. To finalize this process I am seeking manage.py that will execute the update index command. I am on a Debian 10 with Mailman3 in /opt. locate manage.py returns: /opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/conf/project_template/manage.py-tpl /opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/example_project/manage.py /opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/falcon/bench/dj/manage.py None of these python files can execute the needed command. What can I do to get the newly imported posts indexed? Regards, Frank

Mass unverified subscriptions end up as pending user confirmation instead.
by hansen＠rc.org Feb. 26, 2020

Feb. 26, 2020

After mass subscribing with these settings: Pre confirm: Yes, Pre approved: Yes, Pre Verified (sic): No the addresses appeared in the list's 'Pending user confirmation' list. They were pre-confirmed. The addresses did not appear in the Django Admin's non-verified addresses list. They were not verified. Also why does Postorius lists just 'Pending Approval' and 'Pending Confirmation' but not 'Pending Verification'? Yours, Allan

leaving Sympa for MM3
by rance.hall＠esu10.org Feb. 21, 2020

Feb. 21, 2020

Our shop is an educational shop and left mailman many years ago for Sympa because of features in Sympa not in mailman. Currently Sympa is showing its age, and is relying on perl modules that have been EOL's and the Sympa community has not discussed (within in ear-shot of me at least) what to do about it. We found that we are not using the extra features Sympa provides anymore and with MM3 already dockerized it seems that MM3 is a much better fit for our organization for the foreseeable future. So I got a dockerized setup up and running in a test environment and am pleased with the results except for now I have to start thinking about migration from Sympa to MM3. The API is useful in this effort as there are python wrappers already done and I didn't have any trouble scripting list creation with the API tools to migrate list owners, moderators and users. Now for the question/hard part. Migrating list archives. In Sympa the list archive is just a maildir format directory structure reflecting month/year. In MM3 the Archive is stored in the db with attributes that are likely only available as the message is processed. I'd really rather not loose the archive data if I can help it. Does anyone have any thoughts on how I could perhaps import this?

Advice on migrating to Mailman 3
by Christoph Groth Feb. 20, 2020

Feb. 20, 2020

Dear Mailman 3 users, Currently we are hosting the website [1] and mailing list [2] of our free software project with a shared hosting plan of a webhosting company. As such there is no dedicated server, but we do have SSH access (as a regular user) to the shared server. The mailing list software (Mailman 2) is administrated separately by our hoster on a dedicated machine. We are rather happy with this setup: we pay about 10 USD per month and have only little administration work to do. The only problem is that our list runs on Mailman 2. We would like to move to Mailman 3, but this does not seem to be that simple. Perhaps someone here would be so kind to give us advice? The number of (shared) hosters who offer Mailman 3 seems to be very limited [3]. Would it be a good idea to book a virtual private server (VPS) somewhere, that runs, say, Debian, and simply install Mailman 3 through the distribution’s package system? I’m already running a small personal box with nginx on it, and this is very little work, but running Mailman would require sending out up to a few thousand email messages per day (our list has a few hundred subscribers). Is this something that one is commonly allowed to do on a VPS system? Most VPS offers that I see are silent about mail. If we setup such a system, can we assume that it will silently operate without causing much administration work most of the time (like my nginx server)? Or is maintaining a Mailman 3 server a significant burden ([2] seems to imply that)? If yes, are you aware of organizations that propose Mailman 3 hosting for open source projects? Python.org seems to host some lists for third party projects, but otherwise I haven’t seen much. Thanks Christoph [1] https://kwant-project.org/ [2] https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/kwant-discuss [3] https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/…

Email verification
by Allan Hansen Feb. 19, 2020

Feb. 19, 2020

Some members cannot get past the email verification when they create their accounts. They insist that they have looked in their spam folders. Their email addresses they entered are correct - the are able to log into their accounts with the right email address. But they get the message saying that a confirmation message was sent and if they don’s see it to contact us. 1. Who is ‘us’? My members are asking... 2. How do I help them? I tried subscribing them to a bogus list with pre-verified email, but that did not work, so both they and I are stuck. Tried finding help in archive, but did not see anything. Yours, Allan Hansen hansen(a)rc.org

Installing MM3 via pip fails…
by Patrick Ben Koetter Feb. 18, 2020

Feb. 18, 2020

Has anyone managed to install MM3 recently using pip on Ubuntu 18? I followed the instructions at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#virtualenv-inst…. As soon as I get to the Django part things get hairy. It seems Django requires something that was removed from it.

Random characters in "The results of your email commands" e-mail
by Jeffrey D Feb. 18, 2020

Feb. 18, 2020

Hi, Today I sending an e-mail to "mylist-request(a)domain.tld" with the subject "help" and I received the expected e-mail with the following content; confirm - Confirm a subscription request. echo - Echo back your arguments. end - Stop processing commands. help - Get help about available email commands. join - Join this mailing list. leave - Leave this mailing list. stop - An alias for 'end'. subscribe - An alias for 'join'. unsubscribe - An alias for 'leave'. No such command: -- No such command: vriendelijke Only I think my mail signature broke something in Mailman (see the No such command). Because every e-mail with a subject like "help", "stop" or "join", gives a reply with random characters. The Mailman logs doesn't show any error, so I'm not sure what is wrong. Deleting the mailinglist and create a new one won't fix the issue, also restarting Mailman doesn't help. An example of the random characters: Nzzf&ju[zZ0:v,jzkb^}nJyazZCj}{m5t5Cx<{iysG5o[w}jgn+g[lrwf*mzrLk)rjwliazZZnjyW(fvrh{aXXWj+&j)b b-'jX+zwl&v{rx &~y6.r(fu4:' Is this a bug in Mailman?

Mailman stopping message distribution because of SMTP errors
by Victoriano Giralt Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Hi list, I have recently migrated some lists from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3. Users have been added using the mailman client as pre-verified addresses so the migration happened "silently". Thus, there was a dozen "bad" addresses (domains that did not exist anymore). Unfortunately, Mailman got some of the "bad" addresses in the first message batch for sending out, so, Postfix closed the connection because of "too many errors" and this stopped the process completely, i.e. Mailman did not continue sending messages to the rest of the list over 600 addresses. There was no more information in the logs than the Postfix error messages in smtp.log. Once the "bad" addresses were removed, the list started working as expected. I consider this a bug. The bouncing addresses should have been marked as "non deliverable" and the subscriptions "paused" and the rest should have been delivered. Or, the list owner should have been notified that there was a problem with message distribution. None of these happened. Thanks! -- Victoriano Giralt CIO University of Malaga +34952131415 SPAIN ================================================================== Note: signature.asc is the electronic signature of present message A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure ? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email ?

How to get rid of footer (Mailman3)
by tarmokumar＠gmail.com Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Hi, I have read multiple posts in this forum that you should be able to get rid of the footer completely but I am unable to. I have tried: - adding the footer template to a list and not adding any "Data" to it. Result was a attachment with some "dfgdfgdfgdfg" text in it. - adding/creating a blank "list:member:generic:footer" document to /var/templates/site/en, var/templates/lists/LIST.ID/en/ and var/templates/domains/DOMAIN/en/. Result is that the sent e-mail still has the original unsubscribe text in the footer (as an attachment) - removing all the files from /mailman/src/mailman/templates/en, still no change We are running Mailman within Docker on these versions: maxking/mailman-core:0.3.2 maxking/mailman-web:0.3.2 When searching the docker for example "list:member:generic:footer" file, there isnt one (except the one I created) and when I search the file for text "unsubscribe", then it is only included in the postfix_lmtp file, but this doesnt seem to be it since it is overwritten every time.

Your Dashboard
by Torge Riedel Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Hi, everytime I receive a mail for moderation it says: At your convenience, visit your dashboard to approve or deny the request. So, I am wondering where this "dashboard" might be. We are managing 11 different lists (small scenario I think) and currently we have to navigate to each list and its page of mails to moderate. I like the idea of a "dashboard" were you can see a summary of mails to moderate and other stuff to have an eye on. And directly do this from this dashbard. Which is convenience. If it is already there, where do I find it? If not, do others also find such a dashboard helpful? Best regards Torge

Cannot setup announce-only mailing list
by Alberto Granzotto Feb. 8, 2020

Feb. 8, 2020

Dear all, I don't understand how to set up an "announce only" mailing list using Postorius Version 1.2.4. What I do is the following: - Click on "Create New List" - From "List Style", select "Announce only mailing list style." - Fill all other fields in the form - Click "Create list" At this point people can subscribe to the newly created announce mailing list. If they add themselves they end up in "List Members", and if they email the announce mailing list, their email is relayed to all other members, just like a normal mailing list :/ Moreover, subscribers get this message, inviting them to post to the announce only mailing list: > Welcome to the "Test-announce" mailing list! > > To post to this list, send your email to: > > test-announce(a)lists.dist0rtion.com Of course, I want to keep this mailing list "read only" for members, and I want only selected people to post to that mailing list. Any idea on how to achieve that? Best, Alberto

Attachement processings questions
by Lars Schimmer Feb. 7, 2020

Feb. 7, 2020

Hello, I got some questions about attachements in MM3 mailinglists and HyperKitty. Hard to find any real documentation about this in the huge load of links out there. Short: Debian Stretch system with MailMan 3.2.1-1 packages (Postorius 1.2.4, HyperKitty 1.2.2). In a mailinglist it seems some mails are not forwarded to a member, but is listed in archive in hyperkitty. That mail did include a PDF attachement, but HyperKitty does not list any attachement. All I found was "convert HTML to plaintext", but does this setting remove attachements? Is there any generel documentation about attachement processing in MM3? I would like this mailinglist to accept mails with attachements, send it to the members and archvie the attachments in HyperKitty, to. Any idea where to look? Thank you so far.

Hi Sir, I came to know that the held messages can be restricted to be processed after a specific no of days or can be discard after some days using the parameter *max_days_to_hold*. But I could see that parameter value configurable on MM2 GUI interface in General Options but I don't see the same on the MM3 GUI interface. Could you please help me if I am missing something? -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936

Deliverability and Spam Filtering
by tom＠gather.coop Jan. 30, 2020

Jan. 30, 2020

Hi folks! First time poster, long time Mailman user. I am setting up a new Mailman 3 instance, and am super excited about the REST API. I plan to use it to enable tight integration with a separate web app that I maintain. As I am setting up the mail server, I am wondering about two related things: deliverability (for outgoing mail) and spam filtering (for incoming mail). What solutions have folks used for these? I know it is generally common now to outsource this critical task to a cloud provider like Mailgun or etc. Have folks needed this or is running ones own incoming and outgoing mail not a big deal? So many horror stories out there... As far as Mailgun goes, I think it should be straightforward to configure it for outgoing mail, but I'm not sure how I'd use it for incoming. Mailgun can forward mail via HTTP or to another email address. Neither I think would work out of the box. It would be great if there were a REST API endpoint for incoming mail, but I don't think such a thing exists, right? Perhaps I could add one? Another thought I had was that I could write a simple HTTP server that receives mail from Mailgun and forwards it to Mailman via LMTP. But it seems simpler to go right to Mailman's core API given that one exist already. Or am I thinking about this all wrong? Are there other more suitable services out there? I looked for cloud MTA providers but didn't turn up much except for in the large enterprise space, which I'm sure I can't afford. Thanks for any thoughts!

SUBSCRIBE_FORM_SECRET in MM3?
by Gila Halpern Jan. 30, 2020

Jan. 30, 2020

I've been looking into ways to prevent spam on my company's list, and one thing I came across was the SUBSCRIBE_FORM_SECRET option in the Mailman configuration, which embeds a CSRF token into the form, and prevents it from being submitted until five seconds after it renders, to keep bots from subscribing. Unfortunately, the information I found pertained to Mailman 2. Does this option exist in MM3 as well, or is there a similar option?

Mass subscribe gives HTTP Error 500 when using custom template
by Jeffrey D Jan. 30, 2020

Jan. 30, 2020

Hi, I have some issues with the Mass Subscribe option on Mailman 3.2.1.

DMARC Munging
by Allan Hansen Jan. 30, 2020

Jan. 30, 2020

All, The munged From: header in MM3 still says 'name' via ‘listname’ <‘listaddress’> This caused me and my subscribers a lot of grief in MM2: Some mail clients use the first part up to the From for future key-ahead for new email to ’name’, hiding the address, so what they think is a personal message for ’name’, instead goes to the entire list. Red faces all around. Stephen Thurnbull earlier suggested further munging by replacing the list address in the From: header like this: 'name' via ‘listname’ <‘whoopsieaddress’> Which will return an automated reply explaining the issue. I like this option. How can I get that in? Yours, Allan Hansen allan_hansen(a)icloud.com PS: I always use sender in Reply-To.

Cron of Mailman notify is not working
by Shashikanth Komandoor Jan. 29, 2020

Jan. 29, 2020

Hello, With your help, I was able to setup mailman 3.3 on my RHEL 7.5 machine and running well and good. For daily notification I have added the below line in the crontab: 00 08 * * * /var/lib/mailman/venv3/bin/mailman notify But this cron job is not working while I was able to run the same command manually at my CLI. Please help if there is any issue with mailman 3.3 or cronjob. -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936

DMARC Mitigation Wrap
by Allan Hansen Jan. 27, 2020

Jan. 27, 2020

All, After a reinstall I’m back to thinking about the MM3 DMARC mitigation issue. Until munging can be improved, I will be using the option to wrap: MM3 has the option to wrap the main message with a wrap_message. It appears, however, that MM3 is oblivious to all my attempts to include whitespace, in this case a <cr>. When the enclosed message is automatically unwrapped by the receiving client, this causes the wrap and enclosed message's From: header to butt up against each other, which is rather ugly. I tried many tricks, but none worked, such as, <cr>, SPACE+, TAB+, <BLANKLINE>, SHIFT-RETURN, two RETURNS, \r\n and UTF-8 codes. They all either got ignored or copied as entered to the output message. Here’s an example. I just want to put a divider after the wrap_message main text. The From address of this message has been replaced with the list address, while the From name has 'via list' appended. Please be careful when using 'via list' addresses later for new emails, as they will be sent to the whole list.\r\n -------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n From: Allan Hansen <allan_hansen(a)icloud.com <mailto:allan_hansen@icloud.com>> Subject: [Testlist] wrap with divider and BLANKLINE Which coding option am I missing? I have searched for one online. Yours, Allan Hansen allan_hansen(a)icloud.com

Header and footer templates in MM3
by Gila Halpern Jan. 26, 2020

Jan. 26, 2020

I read the earlier message from Peter Mueller about message decoration, and where the templates are in the file system. However, when I edit the header and footer templates in Postorius, those templates do not appear in the location specified. Should I be looking somewhere else? (I intend to write a program to rotate though several headers/footers, so I need to know where to have it write to.) Gila Halpern

Can I install Mailman 3.3 on RHEL 8 ?
by Shashikanth Komandoor Jan. 25, 2020

Jan. 25, 2020

Hi Team/Sir, Can Mailman 3.3 be installed on RHEL 8? I got this query because while I was trying to install the prerequisites for Mailman 3.3 as per the website http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/devsetup.html I found nodejs-less is also to be installed. But I don't find the nodejs-less as part of BaseOS packages or the AppStream modules. Please suggest how to go ahead. -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936

Cannot see the cron jobs for Mailman 3 Installed
by Shashikanth Komandoor Jan. 24, 2020

Jan. 24, 2020

Hi, I have setup the Mailman 3 on my RHEL 7.5 box and found it was working fine. But I found that I am not getting daily summary notifications for which I learnt after browsing through different websites, there should be an entry of *checkdb* in the cron job list. But I did not find any such nor I don't find any cron job updated after the installation of mailman 3. So, please guide how to get those cron jobs of mailman 3 installed again without disturbing the already installed setup. Thanks in advance. -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936

start_chain not present in migrated lists
by Paul Honig Jan. 21, 2020

Jan. 21, 2020

Hi, Please let me know where I can post my question if this list is not the right place. I'm configuring a mailing list server, migrating from Mailman 2.1 to 3.2.2, and I can't get the migrated mailing lists to work. When I create new mailing lists there is no problem. Here are the versions of Mailman I run : mailman 3.2.2 mailman-hyperkitty (1.1.0) django-mailman3 (1.2.0) postorius (1.3.2) mailmanclient (3.2.2) HyperKitty (1.2.2) The command line I use the migrate the mailing list: /opt/mailman_venv/bin/mailman -C /opt/mailman_venv/var/etc/mailman.cfg import21 mltest(a)test.domain /var/vmail/mig/data/lists/mltest/config.pck When I send an email to a migrated list, of which I made myself a member, no mail is sent, and I get the following stack trace in the log: ==> /var/log/mailman/mailman.log <== Jan 21 15:02:37 2020 (15948) Uncaught runner exception: None Jan 21 15:02:37 2020 (15948) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman_venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 173, in _one_iteration self._process_one_file(msg, msgdata) File "/opt/mailman_venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 266, in _process_one_file keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/opt/mailman_venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/runners/incoming.py", line 79, in _dispose process(mlist, msg, msgdata, start_chain) File "/opt/mailman_venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/core/chains.py", line 40, in process chain = config.chains[start_chain] KeyError: None Jan 21 15:02:37 2020 (15948) SHUNTING: 1579615357.5331464+c5918e305ec281d47ef0caaed070c8c4bde26ee3 It seems like the start_chain has value 'None' and that prevents the mail from processed, but I can't find where to correctly set the start_chain.

Handling of SPAM mails in mailman3 - Check for X-Spam Header
by Torge Riedel Jan. 19, 2020

Jan. 19, 2020

Hi, we migrated successfully to mailman3 so far. I have some questions regarding handling of SPAM mails in mailman, this is the second question: Such SPAM mails are currently hold for moderation with reason "not from a list member". Is there no check for the "X-Spam: Yes" header or is this check done later? I would prefer that a check for such a header is done first and is reported as the reason. Which is IMHO a very important information. Or maybe show "This is detected as SPAM" in big bold red letters in a new column in the list of mails to moderate for such a mail. Maybe there is more eye-candy solution for it. Sometimes mail accounts of allowed users are hacked and we do not want spread SPAM accidently. On my setup all mails are checked by rspamd before local delivery and I see that the "X-Spam" header is set for such mails. So even mails from allowed members with header "X-Spam: Yes" should be hold for moderation. Maybe this is already the case, did not gave it a try yet. Best regards Torge

Handling of SPAM mails in mailman3 - Do not append original mail to moderation mail
by Torge Riedel Jan. 19, 2020

Jan. 19, 2020

Hi, we migrated successfully to mailman3 so far. I have some questions regarding handling of SPAM mails in mailman, here is the first, second comes in a separate post: The list moderator currently receives a copy of the original mail in the info mail he gets for moderation. This is bad in case it was a SPAM mail, cause we have seen that such an info mail is detected also as SPAM. That might rise problems cause other mail servers might block the info mail as SPAM and if this happens too often blocking the whole server. I fear. At least I see that my rspamd starts learning the info mail as SPAM. I don't want that to happen. I searched mailman web interface for a setting to disable adding a copy to the info mail. But have not found it. Is it missing or where do I have to look? Best regards Torge

Mailman runners missing - nothing in logs

Hi, since migration from mailman2 to mailman3 I had twice the following, last time today: When sending a mail to a list I get the following reply from postfix after a while: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:8024: Connection refused Searched on that and found some posts, where the following shell command is named to check what is running: ps -fwwu mailman And I get this as output: UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD mailman 1166 1 0 Jan07 ? 00:00:01 /opt/mailman/core/venv/bin/python3 /opt/mailman/core/venv/bin/master -C /opt/mailman/core/mailman.cfg mailman 1180 1166 0 Jan07 ? 00:03:09 /opt/mailman/core/venv/bin/python3 /opt/mailman/core/venv/bin/runner -C /opt/mailman/core/mailman.cfg --runner=rest:0:1 mailman 1212 1180 0 Jan07 ? 00:01:10 /opt/mailman/core/venv/bin/python3 /opt/mailman/core/venv/bin/runner -C /opt/mailman/core/mailman.cfg --runner=rest:0:1 mailman 11039 11036 0 06:25 ? 00:00:03 /usr/bin/uwsgi-core --ini mailman3.ini mailman 11064 11039 0 06:25 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/uwsgi-core --ini mailman3.ini mailman 11065 11039 0 06:25 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/uwsgi-core --ini mailman3.ini mailman 17257 1180 0 Jan12 ? 00:00:37 /opt/mailman/core/venv/bin/python3 /opt/mailman/core/venv/bin/runner -C /opt/mailman/core/mailman.cfg --runner=rest:0:1 Lots of expected runners are missing.

I checked all the logs prior to restarting the service in directory /opt/mailman/var/log, but I do not see any errors. And the master was still running, I would expect that the master will start / restart a runner in case it died? Fun fact: First time of this problem was two weeks from now, which was two weeks after migration to mailman3. I'm excited if it will happen in two weeks again. Installed packages for core: mailman (3.3.0) mailman-hyperkitty (1.1.0) Any suggestions where I should have a deeper look and maybe find the root cause of this problem? Thanks in advance Torge

Another set of new releases
by Abhilash Raj Jan. 19, 2020

Jan. 19, 2020

Hi Everyone, Hope everyone had a great weekend! I am pleased to announce new set of releases: - Postorius 1.3.2 - Django-mailman3 1.3.2 - Hyperkitty 1.3.2 This release was required as it turned out 1.3.1 releases did not includes translations in the tarballs that I created and uploaded to PyPI. They do include a couple of bugfixes and more translations. - Hyperkitty (https://hyperkitty.readthedocs.io/en/latest/news.html#id1) - Postorius (https://postorius.readthedocs.io/en/latest/news.html#id1) All three of these releases also officially drop support for Django 1.11. Although, there hasn't been any code change that breaks compatibility with 1.11. It has just been dropped form our CI machinery since our dependencies no longer support 1.11. All the releases are available on PyPI, as usual! -- Thanks Abhilash Raj

Adding a domsin
by Allan Hansen Jan. 13, 2020

Jan. 13, 2020

Hi all, I’m still working on setting up my lists in a domain that was added after MM3 installation. It’s mostly working but the Postorius page and the ‘noreply’ emails still sport the old domain name. I hav looked at all the py and cfg files where the old name appeared, and they no longer hold the old name. My coadmin now tells me that the database has a table with the old name. Any suggestion as to whether that can cause the issue and if it’s safe to change the table. Yours, Allan Hansen P.O. Box 2423 Cypress, CA 90630

Default values for new lists
by Sten Aus Jan. 11, 2020

Jan. 11, 2020

Hi I haven't found out where I could choose or edit default list values (when creating new list). For example I would like that all new lists would be with *private archive* (and change this when it is needed). This is great that I can choose not to advertise list in Index (which I can choose from list creation interface) but I would like to choose other options too. Right now only solution is to create list and then choose Archiving and then select "private archives". Another thing is that I would like to choose default subscription policy to "Moderate". If anyone has encountered this problem, let me know! All the best Sten

bounce processing on this list
by Mark Sapiro Jan. 9, 2020

Jan. 9, 2020

I have just installed the latest Mailman core for this list. This version now actually processes bounces. As a result of the huge backlog of unprocessed, queued bounces, some members may receive one or more bounce probe messages. As long as the probes don't bounce, your subscription will be unaffected and you can ignore the probe message. Sorry for the noise. Hopefully it's just a one time catch-up. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

FILTER_VHOST for 3.2.1 not working after install
by Élodie BOSSIER Jan. 8, 2020

Jan. 8, 2020

Hello, I'm using Mailman 2.1.29 since several years and all was perfect except the virtual_host which was "faked" : it was possible to have several mailing list by domain linked to their own domain and url but not same mailing list name for multiple domains. Example (with lighttpd) : - at http://ml.bossier.fr/listinfo we can see ONLY mailing list "test2@", "Test3@" and "Test4@" for @ml.bossier.fr - and at http://ml.franceserv.fr/listinfo we can see ONLY mailing list "bar@", "newsletter@" and "test@" for @ml.franceserv.fr Each url_host have their "own" mailing list. It's the main reason I would like migrate and use Mailman 3 and be able to have "test(a)ml.bossier.fr" and "test(a)ml.franceserv.fr". So I installed Mailman 3.2.1 and I have set "FILTER_VHOST = True" into /etc/mailman3/mailman-web.py then : mailman create --language fr --owner admin(a)franceserv.fr --domain test(a)ml.franceserv.fr mailman create --language fr --owner admin(a)franceserv.fr --domain test2(a)ml.bossier.fr And I have this result (with nginx as front) : - at http://ml.franceserv.fr:81/postorius/lists/ we can see mailing list "test(a)ml.franceserv.fr and test2(a)ml.bossier.fr" - and at http://ml.bossier.fr:81/postorius/lists/ we can see mailing list "test(a)ml.franceserv.fr and test2(a)ml.bossier.fr" (same result) And it's my problem, I would like be able to see the linked mailing list to their own url. I would like with Mailman 3.2.1 see into : - "example1.com/postorius/lists/" only the mailing list related to example1, - and into "example2.com/postorius/lists/" only the mailing list related to example2 as Mailman 2.1.x do it. I don't understand what I missed, could you help me please ? Best regards, Élodie PS. Sorry for my english language I'm french.

Migration from 2.1 to 3
by brunol＠agro.uba.ar Jan. 8, 2020

Jan. 8, 2020

Hi, I am in the process to migrate an old 2.1 installation to 3.2.1 (Debian 10.1) Following the 2.1 to 3 docs: - Create a new list - Use the import21 command The command runs successfully (at least no errors in stdout). There is a problem when sending an email to the newly imported list, the message never get send to the members. I do get moderation emails, and if i do a mass subscribe, the welcome email is received by the new members. In a fresh 3 new list (not imported from 2.1) this does not happen. I already tried looking for clues in the logs [logging.smtp] path: debug.log level: debug [logging.smtp-failure] path: debug.log level: debug [logging.error] path: debug.log level: debug But i haven't seen anything useful yet. Any hints on this?

This is because of the domain change. In settings(_local).py you have a setting for SITE_ID. Possibly, setting that in settings_local.py to a value one greater that the current setting will do.

MM3 shunting mails
by Anders Nilsson Jan. 3, 2020

Jan. 3, 2020

I'm running a Mailman 3.1.0 installation on a CentOS 7 machine. Using RPMs from https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/abompard/hyperkitty/el-7/x86_64/ I do have problems with some lists occasionally going into some kind of shunt mode, where alla mails sent to them gets shunted. In the Mailman log I get entries for each shunted email: Mar 17 11:54:11 2017 (6217) Uncaught runner exception: Multiple rows were found for one_or_none() Mar 17 11:54:11 2017 (6217) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 171, in _one_iteration self._process_one_file(msg, msgdata) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 264, in _process_one_file keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/runners/pipeline.py", line 37, in _dispose process(mlist, msg, msgdata, pipeline) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/core/pipelines.py", line 53, in process handler.process(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/handlers/rfc_2369.py", line 121, in process process(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/handlers/rfc_2369.py", line 70, in process archiver_set = IListArchiverSet(mlist) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/zope/component/hookable.py", line 33, in __call__ return self.__implementation(*args, **kw) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/zope/component/_api.py", line 156, in adapter_hook return sitemanager.queryAdapter(object, interface, name, default) File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/zope/interface/registry.py", line 348, in queryAdapter return self.adapters.queryAdapter(object, interface, name, default) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/database/transaction.py", line 85, in wrapper return function(args[0], config.db.store, *args[1:], **kws) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/model/mailinglist.py", line 607, in __init__ ListArchiver.name == archiver_name).one_or_none() File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/sqlalchemy/orm/query.py", line 2733, in one_or_none "Multiple rows were found for one_or_none()") sqlalchemy.orm.exc.MultipleResultsFound: Multiple rows were found for one_or_none() Mar 17 11:54:11 2017 (6217) SHUNTING: 1489748051.1949184+7a59df19c81493cb419306d620376efc0e381819 And so far my Google-fu hasn't been good enough to give me any useful answers to why this happens. If I dump one of the pickles using qfile I cannot see any complaints. Most of the times, if I remove and recreate a failing list and run unshunt the shunted emails get processed and sent.

Mark a list to prevent it being shown as inactive on HyperKitty
by Steven Maddox Jan. 3, 2020

Jan. 3, 2020

Lo Folks, Subject says it all really, is there anyway to mark a list as one which should never be shown as inactive on the HyperKitty web interface? We've got a list which we consider to be "active", it's just that there might be the odd month here or there which it won't show activity. Failing having such a setting (as described above)... maybe there is a way of changing what it considers to be 'inactive' (I'm assuming that it is 30 days?). At the moment (in order to counteract commit 156f4cda) I've dropped this into templates/hyperkitty/bottom.html to uncheck the "Hide Inactive" checkbox... but that doesn't actually stop HyperKitty from considering it inactive - just shows it in dark grey. <script> document.querySelector("input[type='checkbox'][value='inactive']").checked = false; </script> -- Steven Maddox Lantizia

Weekend releases
by Abhilash Raj Dec. 26, 2019

Dec. 26, 2019

Hi Everyone, Hope everyone had a great weekend! I am pleased to announce new set of releases: - Postorius 1.3.1 - Django-mailman3 1.3.1 - Hyperkitty 1.3.1 These are all bugfix releases and include several fixes each. The full changelogs are available at: - Hyperkitty (https://hyperkitty.readthedocs.io/en/latest/news.html#id1) - Postorius (https://postorius.readthedocs.io/en/latest/news.html#id1) Most notable fixes include a fix for PostgeSQL support in Hyperkitty, ability to delete a MailingList in Hyperkitty and list settings changes are immediately reflected in Hyperkitty (like making a List private). It also includes support for Python 3.8 and Django 3.0 in Postorius and Django-maialman3. Hyperkitty doesn't yet support either of them due to some dependencies not yet supporting Django 3.0 and a bug in Python 3.8.0 causing a test case failure[1]. I hope that we are able to support the latest and greatest as soon as possible, I am excited to be able to play with Django's aync capabilities. Finally, since our i18n workflow has been setup, we have lots of new translations coming in. This release also includes more parts of Postorius being translatable, including section headers. I am really happy to see Mailman 3 move closer to Mailman 2 in terms of i18n. If you want to help us improve the coverage, head on to Weblate[2]. All the releases are available on PyPI, as usual! [1] Fun Fact: The bug was due to a code that I contributed ;-). It is now fixed and will be soon out with Python 3.8.1 sometime this month.

postfix virtual domain and mailman 3
by work＠andrefincato.info Dec. 25, 2019

Dec. 25, 2019

hi everyone! i start by saying that i browsed through the archives in here for the past three days, and re-read the mailman 3 docs several times, as well the postfix docs. the thread closest to my problem is this one https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… ; i was not sure if it was good to re-open though. i have a postfix + dovecot setup using the "separate domains and non-unix accounts". problem: ``` postfix/smtpd[26356]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from wout1-smtp.messagingengine.com[64.147.123.24]: 550 5.1.1 <list-name(a)domain.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown; from=<some(a)email.com> to=<list-name(a)domain.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<wout1-smtp.messagingengine.com> ``` postfix main.cf relevant portion for virtual users ``` # deliver mail for virtual users to Dovecot's LMTP socket virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp # setup virtual domains and non-unix accounts virtual_mailbox_domains = /etc/postfix/vhosts virtual_mailbox_base = /var/spool/vmail virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmaps virtual_uid_maps = static:1001 virtual_gid_maps = static:1001 virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/valias ``` postfix `main.cf` mailman settings ``` transport_maps = regexp:/opt/mailman/var/data/postfix_lmtp local_recipient_maps = regexp:/opt/mailman/var/data/postfix_lmtp relay_domains = regexp:/opt/mailman/var/data/postfix_domains ``` question: i tried to add the `alias_domain` to mailman using Mailman Core REST APIs because I read about https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/mta.html#unusual-… ; entering the mailman console and doing `dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/domains/example.com/lists')` was giving me error that `dump_json` is not an available module. is that the way to go? should I add a an `alias_domain` to Mailman in order for it to output a `postfix_vmap` when doing `mailman aliases`? and then add it to postfix `main.cf` like so ``` virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/valias, regexp:/opt/mailman/var/data//postfix_vmap ``` or do you suggest as a simple viable solution to create a new unix account and setup postfix to use local domains? thanks and hopefully my confusion arose from reading all these threads will dissipate soon!

Please update your Mailman installations: CVE-2019-19844
by Abhilash Raj Dec. 19, 2019

Dec. 19, 2019

Hey Mailman Users, A new Django vulnerability was disclosed yesterday[1] which can lead to account hijacks via password reset emails. The fix has been released as a part of Django 3.0.1, 2.2.9, and 1.11.27. We do not support Django 3.0.1, so, please upgrade to 2.2.9 or 1.11.27, depending on which version of Mailman components you are using. If you are using a virtualenv based installation, you can install the new versions using `pip` (venv) $ pip install -U django==2.2.9 or similar for 1.11.27. You can also upgrade django-allauth to 0.41.0, which also fixes this issue[2]. I hope distro packages will soon have updated packages with the fixes. I have also published new versions of Container Images, 0.3.2 (or, 0.3) both have been updated. See more details about updating the containers here[3].

Mass subscribe question
by Brian Carpenter Dec. 17, 2019

Dec. 17, 2019

Does mass subscribing bypass a list's subscription policy? I had a list owner mass subscribe a large number of invalid mailboxes which resulted in us terminating their service since Mailman 3 has no bounce processing that helps to clean a list up nor a mass invite function that a user can use instead of mass subscribing. If mass subscribing does bypass the subscription policy then I beg you to make mass inviting and bounce processing a HIGH priority. I am really disappointed that Mailman 3 did not come out with a bounce process feature right out of the gates. But the fact it still doesn't have one on Mailman 3.3 seems scandalous. Brian

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character
by Marvin Gülker Dec. 16, 2019

Dec. 16, 2019

Hi, I've accidentally sent from an unregisted address to one of my lists. Mailman correctly held the message back for moderation, but when I go to the page for held messages in postorios, I receive a 500 error. I've included an except from the log below. To me, it looks as if it errors on processing my last name (which has a non-ascii character in it). This is Postorius 1.1.2 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS from the repos. I've searched on the tracker for the problem and found one ticket[1], but it has something with logging so I suppose this is a different problem. Ideas? And how do I discard the message without access to the held messages page? Python version is 3.6.8. Log excerpt: Dec 09 13:21:04 2019 (3090) REST request handler error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/wsgiref/handlers.py", line 137, in run self.result = application(self.environ, self.start_response) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/database/transaction.py", line 50, in wrapper rtn = function(*args, **kws) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/rest/wsgiapp.py", line 214, in __call__ return super().__call__(environ, start_response) File "falcon/api.py", line 215, in falcon.api.API.__call__ (falcon/api.c:2872) File "falcon/api.py", line 189, in falcon.api.API.__call__ (falcon/api.c:2419) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/rest/post_moderation.py", line 167, in on_get resource = self._make_collection(request) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/rest/helpers.py", line 159, in _make_collection for resource in collection] File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/rest/helpers.py", line 159, in <listcomp> for resource in collection] File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/rest/post_moderation.py", line 157, in _resource_as_dict resource = self._make_resource(request.id) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/rest/post_moderation.py", line 78, in _make_resource resource['msg'] = msg.as_string() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/email/message.py", line 158, in as_string g.flatten(self, unixfrom=unixfrom) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/email/generator.py", line 116, in flatten self._write(msg) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/email/generator.py", line 181, in _write self._dispatch(msg) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/email/generator.py", line 214, in _dispatch meth(msg) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/email/generator.py", line 243, in _handle_text msg.set_payload(payload, charset) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/email/message.py", line 315, in set_payload payload = payload.encode(charset.output_charset) UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\ufffd' in position 269: ordinal not in range(128) Dec 09 13:21:04 2019 (3090) 127.0.0.1 - - "GET /3.0/lists/tsc-devel(a)lists.secretchronicles.org/held?count=10&page=1 HTTP/1.1" 500 59 -- Blog: https://mg.guelker.eu

I get the django administration login page at: https://mysite/admin/login/ Logging in with the admin credentials leads to: ``` This site can’t be reached The webpage at https://mysite/admin/login/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

Default moderation for new members
by Seth Seeger Dec. 11, 2019

Dec. 11, 2019

Hello everyone, I’m loving Mailman3 so far! Great work on it. I’d like to have new members who join my lists have their posting ability set to moderated. (After their first legitimate post, they would set to be unmoderated.) I haven’t been able to find this, though I’m suspecting the language has changed. Thanks, Seth

Also, another doc paragraph [Running the task queue (required)](http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-web.html#running-the-t…) talks about another required command "python manage.py qcluster"; so which one is it?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman 3 Ready?

When I tried > myself, I saw a lot of options that I really did not really care to > have because I did not know the consequences of each. I’m an > application programmer, not a systems programmer. It's email, there are no guarantees. I hate to say that, but that's the way it is. In particular, I'm concerned about the "iRedMail" integration, which may be a complete wildcard from my point of view. With respect to the relevant iRedMail components, I can say that Mailman 3 is perfectly happy with Postfix as MTA (it's the recommended configuration, although I use Exim4 for historical reasons), and I've been satisfied with a small-scale set of lists (about 10 active ones, with at most 20 subscribers total) using Apache+mod_swgi to host Postorius and HyperKitty. The problem would be if your friend (is that the Frank in the CC? hi, Frank!) really really wants to manage Mailman 3 through iRedAdmin -- that will get messy I suspect, and pragmatically speaking, we can't support it, we don't have the cycles. So he'd be on his own, especially since the iRedMail folks have their own bespoke mailing list manager. I would recommend avoiding iRedAdmin integration, and just using Postorius since the subscribers and non-site-admin moderators (if any) will need to use Postorius anyway. Ignoring the iRedAdmin issue, the absolute simplest is 1. Install any Linux distribution with a Docker package. 2. Install the distribution's Docker package. 3. Download and install Mailman Project's Mailman 3 container. 4. Upgrade the container manually (ie, download and reinstall) as appropriate. For reference, what I would recommend to my friends, who would give me hands-on access in emergencies: 1. Install the Debian distribution. (What I use.) 2. Pin the Mailman 3 packages to "experimental". The idea would be to get Mailman 3 upgrades as fast as possible, even at the risk of packaging issues. (My experience with default-to-experimental system for several years was that this happened at most once a year, and the three or four cases all got fixed within days.) 3. Install the Mailman 3 packages. 4. Adjust any dependencies that need non-"stable" versions. 5. Upgrade via apt or whatever occasionally. 6. When Mailman 3 is working well, downgrade the pins to a more stable level. Since you do have such a friend, there's probably a similar process that works for his distribution-of-choice. > The problem is that my MacOS users are getting tripped up by the > mangling, as it is hidden by the mail clients.

I guess we could provide a setting where reply-to goes *only* to author, instead of to author *and* list as we currently recommend. But that is going to make you (or list owners) the focus of user ire because their intended replies to list go only to author. What do you think? tl;dr The rest is me blowing off steam. :-) > The fact that the mangling will continue is a disappointment. It's a disappointment to the sane people at the IETF, too, including the rep from Yahoo!, who's a very smart lady (I may be biased, she gave me a kitten once. ;-) Yahoo! is violating the original concept (DMARC "p=reject" was supposed to be used *only* for "transactional" mail, i.e., direct private communication between a business and its clients), but I see her point: when you've had a hundred million or so address books hacked and sold to spammers, and the spammers are sending literally millions of "recommendation from a friend" spams per hour for days on end, you use the tools to hand. > I’m inclined to tell all my AOL and Yahoo users and others in the same > boat to find another email service. I know the feeling. I'm lucky in that respect: the Ministry of Education prohibits use of yahoo mailboxes at Japanese universities. (Which is a WTF of a different kind: yahoo.co.jp is a franchise, not controlled by yahoo.com, and doesn't use p=reject at least at the time MoE issued that policy.) Mail is just hard. It was designed for a "friendly network of users", not for today's rather hostile open Internet, and even if they had envisioned this in the 70s when the message format and SMTP mail transmission protocol were designed, the fundamental problem is that pretty much everyone has a genuine need, even if only occasional, to receive messages from untrusted and even unknown senders.

Setting up From: field as list address
by Steven Maddox Nov. 25, 2019

Nov. 25, 2019

Hi folks, I'm trying to configure our mailman3 lists (via postorious) in a way that'll mean they'll behave in the way way that I've witnessed on another 3rd party list (one running mailman2). This is where (when receiving a message from the list) the From: is the list itself, and the person who actually sent it bizarrely appears as a CC:, for example... From: Steven Madox via Shropshire LUG <shropshire(a)mailman.lug.org.uk> Subject: [Shropshire LUG] Whatever To: shropshire(a)mailman.lug.org.uk CC: s.maddox(a)lantizia.me.uk At the moment our settings are the default/recommended... I *was* just going to set munging to 'Reply goes to list' which would just set a 'Reply-To' header... until I realised that... a) that won't help Thunderbird users as it just ignores Reply-To if it came from a list b) doesn't fix the issue with people having their own SPF/DKIM set on their mail domains So ultimately I'm starting to see why this 3rd party mailing list (another linux user group, a neighbouring one just south of us) does it this way... if anyone knows the mailman3 equivalent setting? p.s. I've read both the mailman2 and 3 notes related to why munging is not recommended, but I'd still like to know how this is done - to keep our options open more than anything. -- Steven Maddox Lantizia

[Mailman-Users] Mailman 3 Ready?

We have ARC support in Mailman 3, but (a) like most envelope manipulation, that should be done in boundary MTAs, not in Mailman, and (b) ARC implementation is not universal. *Very likely* some of your subscribers are going to lose mail if you depend on ARC, rather than munge from. > I need to get this done before they start on my already thinning > hair!

The obvious "turn-key" installation is to use the Docker containers, which Abhilash keeps fairly up-to-date. But see comment below about universal working solutions. Which distro do you have?

If your friend is the type to get his hands dirty with code, and has the time for development activity, mailman-developers(a)python.org would also be useful.

Adding / manipulating users
by Seth Seeger Nov. 19, 2019

Nov. 19, 2019

Hello, Thank you for your help with the moderation status. My next question - I have two lists from Yahoo to import. I’ve migrated them through groups.io and have a convenient export. I now have all the data in formats I can handle. (json file for members, mbox for archives.) What’s the best way to import hundreds of users, setting their mail delivery status and moderation status at the same time? (There doesn’t seem to be a command line option for adding members anymore where you can also set their delivery status.) I’ve looked at the documentation, but couldn’t figure out what to do. Thanks, Seth

postorius ssl-certificates for virtual hosts

Nov. 18, 2019

Hello, On my server are several virtual hosts running with different lists per host. The appropriate webaddress is in general: https://lists.[domain]/mailman3/postorius/lists/[listname].lists.[domain]. My domains: [domain-1] starts with a b* [domain-2] starts with a s* [domain-3] starts with a t* If I use the webadress https://lists.[domain-1]/mailman3/postorius/lists/[listname].lists.[domain-… and I do a click on the https-symbol in the address line of my browser I get the secury-information " every thing is ok" and the certificate-information is about the wildcard-certificate I just created for the right domain. Different result is for the webadress https://lists.[domain-2]/mailman3/postorius/lists/[listname].lists.[domain-…. In this case I get an information like "you are using a wrong certificate" clicking on the https-symbol references tot he certificate of [domain-1] I set in my apache2 configuration a symbolic link to apache.conf in the /etc/mailman3/directory and made this active. What did I wrong?? If I set use_https to yes in mailman.cfg I get on the website for all lists: postorius: Something went wrong Mailman REST API not available. Please start Mailman core.

Mailing lists sometimes do not honor moderation_action of non-members
by Alan So Nov. 14, 2019

Nov. 14, 2019

We notice that sometimes mailing lists do not honor moderation_action of non-members. Instead, it follows the default action of the lists. It looks like we can sometimes fix the issue by adding/removing the non-members or adding/removing them as owner in certain order but we are not sure about exactly what we have to do. So, it looks like that it is not caused by the list configuration. We have already verified from the web UI, mailman client and the DB table member that moderation_action of the corresponding non-members are set correctly. Any clues for us to provide further information to troubleshoot the issue and any recommended workaround to get around the issue? Thanks a lot.

Python error, debian package, again

Nov. 6, 2019

Hi! I did filed #248 in https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty/issues and tried to resolve this issue. Furst converted the database as noted in the ticket, no solution. Second search all unicode subject lines in DB for the specific mailinglist, and delete them all via hyperkitty web interface, no success, error still appears. As the error happens 10-12 time on strange times (6am 2:20 pm, 4:20pm), it does not look like a fixed cron job. Abhilash Raj (maxking) mentionend, it maybe a issue with mailman core trying to deliver the message to hyperkitty. But how can I remove those broken messages, or twitch hyperkitty to accept and discard them? Those 30-60 error messsages/day are really annoying and on the other side do not look fine for mailman3 to break at such a easy task. (could have discarded those messages, also). So, please, howto fix this? thank you.

When mass subscribing using format John Doe <john.doe@example.com>, "Members" show some with real name, others without.
by Henrik Rasmussen Oct. 30, 2019

Oct. 30, 2019

GNU Mailman 3.2.0 (La Villa Strangiato): A list administrator asked me why some people is subscribed with full name and some are not, when he is mass subscribing people using the format John Doe john.doe(a)example.com. He had experienced this a lot of times. I tested this several times on my test lists, and one member, who already had his name registrered in Account (Postorius top right), and thus also in Django, kept being subscribed without real name, while the others was subscribed with full name in Members -> Subscribers. It seems (I’m not certain about this) that the one’s without real name is the one’s already having an account and thus registred in Django (admin/auth/user/), while the ones subscribed with full name associated is the ones not having an account already. However, as soon as the member (the one with the account) went to Account and changed his real name, the name was immediately associated with the subscription in Members -> Subscribers. I expect this to be by design, but why isn’t the name associated with the subscription when mass subscribing in the first place, taken from the account? Henrik Rasmussen

High Server Load problem
by Brian Carpenter Oct. 30, 2019

Oct. 30, 2019

For about a week now, I am seeing very high server loads and it seems to have something to do with the following process hanging: uwsgi --ini /opt/mailman-web/uwsgi.ini I am using the docker version of Mailman. When this process hangs, the server load just goes sky high and both Postorius and Hyperkitty no longer responds. I don't have very many sites on this server and I am running about 30 lists. I really need some assistance here as this needs to be fixed. I am seeing nothing in the logs that is explaining why this process is hanging and why the server load goes through the roof. Running docker-compose restart mailman-web kills the hanged process and the server load goes down. Postorius and Hyperkitty starts responding again. This seems to happen once a day. Brian

Rendering HTML for moderation

Hi, new member here doing some research for my boss. Does Mailman 3 allow HTML rendering in the moderation queue, or only plain text? I'm asking because our list mod doesn't have time to check each image in a submission individually, so we currently don't allow images, but the boss wants to allow them.

Mangled digests on Mailman3

Oct. 29, 2019

So since I upgraded to Mailman3 recently, I’m getting reports of mangled digests even with with plaintext digests turned on. Running 3.2.1 from the ubuntu packages. This list was imported from mailman 2.1.x. Example below.

Chinese characters in list name shows question mark (?)
by Franklin Weng Oct. 26, 2019

Oct. 26, 2019

Hi list, I set up a mailman3 server and built a few lists to test. When I set the list name using Chinese characters, the web site shows correctly. However in the subscribing welcome mail the list name was shown in question marks. Screenshot is here: https://nextcloud.slat.org/index.php/s/CxPjpYMbQzQ6444 The LANGUAGE_CODE settings.py (in Debian /etc/mailman3/mailman-web.py) is set to zh-tw , and USE_I18N and USE_L10N are all set to True. Is there any other setting I should look at? Thanks, Franklin

Domain Issue with MM3
by Liebeskind Uri (luri) Oct. 23, 2019

Oct. 23, 2019

Hi all, our University has various departments and research projects and teams. Each of them might want more than one mailing list. It would be straight forward to create mailing lists such as: <list-name>@lists.mydomain.ch Example: In this case "digital" is an entity / Project / Department marketing.digital(a)lists.zhaw.ch<mailto:marketing.digital@lists.zhaw.ch> newsletter.digital(a)lists.zhaw.ch<mailto:newsletter.digital@lists.zhaw.ch> research.digital(a)lists.zhaw.ch<mailto:research.digital@lists.zhaw.ch> Other Examples might be: help.health(a)lists.zhaw.ch newsletter.health(a)lists.zhaw.ch research.health(a)lists.zhaw.ch<mailto:research.health@lists.zhaw.ch> If entities have more than one mailing list, it is required to build a stronger "mailing list identity", it is required to let the "entity" be part of the domain name: marketing(a)digital.lists.zhaw.ch newsletter@digital@lists.zhaw.ch career(a)health.lists.zhaw.ch newsletter(a)health.lists.zhaw.ch career(a)ict.lists.zhaw.ch support(a)ict.lists.zhaw.ch The University of Zurich (uzh.ch) does this as well and it looks very reasonable and useful to me: https://lists.uzh.ch/sympa/ca/domains https://business.lists.uzh.ch/sympa https://dqbm.lists.uzh.ch/sympa https://chess.lists.uzh.ch/sympa I have setup this mailing list test(a)digital.lists.zhaw.ch<mailto:test@digital.lists.zhaw.ch> but subscribing failed. * Subscribing via the Mass Import Form failed with a Server Error message in the browser. * Subscribing via e-mail test-join(a)digital.lists.zhaw.ch<mailto:test-join@digital.lists.zhaw.ch> because no response came from MM3. The mail to join has been delivered properly to MM3 but MM3 has swallowed the mail w/o response or error message.

bouncing mail commands
by Liebeskind Uri (luri) Oct. 23, 2019

Oct. 23, 2019

Hi all, when a subscribtion confirmation is sent to MM it replies a bounce mail about unknown commands in the mail. This is very confusing for the users / subscribers and I'd like to disable this function. Actually our users do not need to send commands in the subject and in the body. So responding to words that are unknown commands is not helpful. Currently I have Postfix header and body checks in place that discard this messages from MM to avoid bothering our users. But how can MM3 be configured not to respond to unknown commands or not to parse the mail for commands at all? Thank you for your help and kind regards, Uri Liebeskind -- ------------------------------------ Zurich University of Applied Sciences Information and Communication Technology Uri Liebeskind System Administrator Gertrudstrasse 15 Postfach 805 CH-8401 Winterthur Tel. +41 58 934 72 63 Fax. +41 58 935 72 63 http://www.zhaw.ch/en/ -------------------------------------

why owner mails rerouted to list
by Tamas HOLCZER Oct. 23, 2019

Oct. 23, 2019

Hi All, we have moved to Mailman3 from Mailman2 recently, and have a quite strange problem: Every message sent to owners is forwarded to the lists instead of the owner's mail address. So for example if a non-member sends a message to MYLIST(a)MYDOMAIN.COM, then a notification appears on MYLIST (and all members receive it, the message also appears in the archive) instead of sending it to the private address of the owner set on the web interface. I found no obvious error either in mailman.log, smtp.log or the MTA's logs. This problem can cause a storm of mails as per default the owner is not allowed to send a message to a member-only list so each notifications generates a new notification. This storm is mitigated temporarily by accepting everything from the owner in a non-member setting, but it is only a workaround. I want mails sent to MYLIST-owner(a)MYDOMAIN.COM to be forwarded to the real owner instead of the list. The same is true for MYLIST-admin(a)MYDOMAIN.COM, and probably for the other administrative addresses. We are using GNU Mailman 3.2.1 (La Villa Strangiato) from the Debian Buster repo. As MTA we use exim4 (running on the same machine as Mailman), and have Amavisd on a separate machine for spam filtering. How can I test what happens to mails sent to the owner inside Mailman? Any help or tips on debugging this issue would be highly appreciated.

To what extent can mailman 3 handle images and html?
by Paul Arenson Oct. 23, 2019

Oct. 23, 2019

Hi The other day I attempted to send a message from my mail client (Apple computer, Mail program, html--well, what they call Rich Text). While a user was able to send a message previously that contained an image, I was unsuccessful. As well, links were weird. LINKS ===== Because My wordpress often has a Japanese URL and they can become very long, I tried both the URL as is and embedded (made a clickable html link). URL === So while I typed https://www.tokyoprogressive.org/journalist-ito-shiori-sues-alleged-rapis.... It came out double as https://www.tokyoprogressive.org/journalist-ito-shiori-sues-alleged-rapis... <https://www.tokyoprogressive.org/journalist-ito-shiori-sues-alleged-rapis... (The full link was truncated with ... at the end, and the link appeared twice with the second instance preceded by "">") The embedded one did not come out embedded buy showed the text like this: Alternate link: 多摩川河川敷に男性の遺体、増水した川に流されたか <https://www.tokyoprogressive.org/%e5%a4%9a%e6%91%a9%e5%b7%9d%e6%b2%b3%e5%... QUESTION 1: Is there a preferred way to write links, or will there always be problems with the mail clients? (Even the web archive shows this problem though): https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/hyperkitty/list/discuss@list.tokyoprogres… See the top item Homeless man drowns in river during Typhoon and what I mean. IMAGE No image appears though one was added inline. And, as I said, a user was previously able to add one. I do not know how she did it. I also posted it to my web site instead of the newsletter for unrelated reasons. But there was an image (Originally got a warning the message was held because the attachment or something). So are there guidelines one whether/how to attach an image so that it makes it? Thanks
