MIME Digests with posts and index inline likewise Plain Text Digests
by Henrik Rasmussen Jan. 18, 2019

Jan. 18, 2019

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand, Mailman attaches posts in a MIME Digest mail intead of inline in the digest mail itself, like Plain Text Digests does. Some mail readers like Gmail eventually displays attachments inline anyway, but readers like Outlook do not. Also the digest index seems to be posted as an attachment in MIME Digests. Would it be possible for Mailman to send both posts and index inline in the MIME digest? I am pretty sure it's not a feature yet, but if Mailman would be able to, I will submit an issue in core (I presume). /Henrik Rasmussen

Well, the template files seem to reside in the database, not on the filesystem. So maybe there is some other issue here?

MM3 Docker
by Odhiambo Washington Jan. 11, 2019

Jan. 11, 2019

[Requesting everyone to be patient with me because I am not so good with Linux, Docker is a completely new thing to me, and MM3, well....] So, I have a VM running Ubuntu-18.04. It is in a Data Centre somewhere. It has an IP n.n.n.n (a public IP). Also, it does not have high resources. However, I hope I can at least get to install MM3 and test it using https://asynchronous.in/docker-mailman/ If I could run MM3 using the apt-get install method, perhaps that would have made my life a bit easier, hoping that MM3 can actually be run in parallel with MM2.1 on the same host. Is anyone doing that already?? Anyway, I need some hand-holding using the docker method for now. I am reading the steps as documented on the https://asynchronous.in/docker-mailman/ and somethings aren't clear to me: I have created two files: (a) /opt/mailman/web/settings_local.py: SERVE_FROM_DOMAIN: 'mm3.my.co.ke' ALLOWED_HOSTS: 'my.co.ke' HYPERKITTY_API_KEY: 'Whatever' MAILMAN_ADMIN_USER: 'admin' MAILMAN_ADMIN_EMAIL: 'odhiambo(a)gmail.com' SECRET_KEY: 'Whatever' EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' EMAIL_HOST = '172.19.199.1' EMAIL_PORT = 25 (b) /opt/mailman/core/mailman-extra.cfg HYPERKITTY_API_KEY: 'Whatever' DATABASE_URL: 'mysql+pymysql://mailman:mailmanpass@database/mailmandb' DATABASE_TYPE: 'mysql' DATABASE_CLASS: 'mailman.database.mysql.MySQLDatabase' Questions: Are the formats correct?

digests are created but not sent out
by "Jörg M. Schulz" Jan. 9, 2019

Jan. 9, 2019

sudo -u list mailman digests -vp tells that the most recent digest has been sent, but nobody receives these digests. No mail or other log file has any clue what has happened. digest_queue = config.switchboards['digest'] >>> digest_queue <mailman.core.switchboard.Switchboard object at 0x7f9c8ed14940> >>> digest_queue.files [] m.digest_send_periodic = True Normal, non-digest messages are sent correctly. Administrative messages as well. Using GNU Mailman 3.2.0 (La Villa Strangiato) Where could I look for errors / stuck queues? /var/lib/mailman3/lists /var/lib/mailman3/lists/mailman.unswolke.de /var/lib/mailman3/lists/mailman.unswolke.de/digest.2.3.mmdf /var/lib/mailman3/lists/mailman.unswolke.de/digest.3.2.mmdf /var/lib/mailman3/lists/mailman.unswolke.de/digest.4.2.mmdf /var/lib/mailman3/lists/mailman.unswolke.de/digest.2.6.mmdf /var/lib/mailman3/lists/mailman.unswolke.de/digest.2.4.mmdf /var/lib/mailman3/lists/mailman.unswolke.de/digest.4.1.mmdf /var/lib/mailman3/lists/mailman.unswolke.de/digest.3.1.mmdf /var/lib/mailman3/lists/mailman.unswolke.de/digest.mmdf /var/lib/mailman3/lists/mailman.unswolke.de/digest.4.3.mmdf

Docker-mailman (performance?): "AH00894: declining URL", "AH01077: declining URL", "AH01105: NOT Closing connection", "AH01076: url: ... proxyname: (null) proxyport: 0"
by Henrik Rasmussen Jan. 9, 2019

Jan. 9, 2019

I am using docker-mailman with GNU Mailman 3.2.0 (La Villa Strangiato). Even I have had no complains previously, a list admin have received proxy errors a couple of days. Right after one occurrence I immediately looked at the logs and while I had no related errors in the log files in /var/log/mailman/web/{uwsgi,uwsgi-error,mailmanweb}.log, the Apache log often shows "AH00894: declining URL", "AH01077: declining URL", "AH01105: NOT Closing connection", "AH01076: url: ... proxyname: (null) proxyport: 0". The errors seems to go back a long time, also on previous versions of Mailman, but no one have complained about it until now. Apache is version 2.4.6 on a RHEL 7 assuming Red Hat have backported any bugs about timeout previously know as hardcoded timeout of 30s etc. I assume therefore that even Mailman did not indicate any errors, it may have been too slow to respond. The server does not seem to be slow at all. Is there a way I can enhance the performance of Mailman (Docker)? I've asked about performance previously, but as I don't think my current question is related to REST, it's probably not related to https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/….

Removing Archives for a Deleted List
by kelly.close＠lrewater.com Jan. 9, 2019

Jan. 9, 2019

Renewing this question ... maybe, there is now a straightforward way to delete archives associated with a deleted list in MM3? Through the UI would be ideal, but if there is a command line approach, I can make that work. Searching the message boards has not turned up anything either way for me. Thoughts? ~Kelly

hyperkitty base_url

Jan. 8, 2019

Hi all. Now I'm struggeling with configuring hyperkitty. It's not clear to me which base_url to set. Currently it's base_url: http://localhost:8001/hyperkitty/ but that leads to Jan 04 21:01:39 2019 (8322) HyperKitty failure on http://localhost:8000/hyperkitty/api/mailman/urls: <html><title>Auth required</title><body> <h1>Authorization Required</h1></body></html> (401) The api_key is set in /usr/share/mailman3-web/settings.py.

Is there any way for an user to request a new password when it is forgotten? I presume that the Persona login is removed now. I cannot hide it in my version or at least I do not know how. cheers // David

Getting Archives to work - new setup on Ubuntu 18.04 (with mailman3-full pkg)
by kelly.close＠lrewater.com Jan. 8, 2019

Jan. 8, 2019

Happy New Year! I'm setting up my first Mailman 3 server and was delighted to find a distribution package for Ubuntu 18.04, since that's the environment I'm most familiar with working in, that installs an integrated mailman3-hyperkitty-postorius setup. The package install plus the additional config steps in the included README files have gotten me oh-so-very close! What isn't working yet are the archives, specifically the messages sent to lists showing up at .../mailman3/hyperkitty. I'm at a loss and I'm hoping maybe the folks on this list can help me bring it home. Messages are distributed to subscribers as they should be - subscribers can send from their emails or from the web site. People can subscribe, etc. It's all working great. Just no archives. I am able to successfully run these django-admin processes without errors (described here: http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-web.html#scheduled-tasks-required) I've run them all manually and then I've been running the minutely and hourly ones manually after each test message I send (haven't set up the actual cron jobs yet). I'm not sure what to try next or what info to provide here for help - can anyone suggest where I can look to see why archives aren't getting created, or let me know what information would be essential for me to post to get help on this? I'm using PostgreSQL for the database, Postfix for mail and Apache2 for the web server. Thanks for your time! ~Kelly

$member does not appear to be dereferencing correctly in moderated subscription requests
by Joel Lord Jan. 8, 2019

Jan. 8, 2019

So I'm having an issue with a new 3.2 install. All the lists I have are set to confirm + approve on new subscriptions, but it seems that no matter how a new subscription come in, it does not actually pass the applicant's name to the moderator. I've tested now with a new email address previously unknown to the system and made sure I filled in the name field in the form. I've tested with an email address previously KNOWN to the system (subscribed to other lists) that has its display name fields filled in AND filled in the name on the subscription form, and yet again with that account having cleared out the display name fields associated with the account. In all cases I was careful to be sure to fill in the name on the subscription form. Buried somewhere in the templates documenation I found that the $member template variable in the list:admin:action:subscribe.txt template is supposed to be both the email address and the display name of the person applying to subscribe, but it just doesn't appear to be coming up as more than just the email address. Have I missed something horribly, or did I come across a bug? -- Joel Lord

ARC support

Hi everyone, I just stumbled over an in-progress standard called ARC. It is appearently intended to solve the problems DMARC causes for mailinglists if I understand correctly. Since I've not seen a summary of it somewhere, I just give the plain links to it: * Website: http://arc-spec.org/ * Draft: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dmarc-arc-protocol/ Will Mailman at some point support this new standard?

mailman3-suite not sending confirmation emails

Hi, This is my first experience using mailman. I recently downloaded and setup mailman3 suite which comes with hyperkitty. I don't really understand why the email is not working. I had an external smtp server (mymailserver.com) residing on different IP from my web server that hosts mailman stuff. I had modified settings.py with debug = False and added the following: EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' EMAIL_HOST = 'mymailserver.com' EMAIL_PORT = 25 I also added these inside mailman.cfg [mta] outgoing: mailman.mta.deliver.deliver lmtp_host: 127.0.0.1 lmtp_port: 8024 smtp_host: mymailserver.com smtp_port: 25 Thanks for your help! I check the logs but there isn't anything. When I sign up, nothing happens and I can't figure out why?

Customizing Look and Feel?
by Joel Lord Dec. 31, 2018

Dec. 31, 2018

Is it possible to customize the look at feel of the web interface at all? I have some lists that really require that subscription requests include full name, to make the workload on the moderators, well, workable in keeping a closed list tight. I've found where the "Your name (optional)" text is in list_forms.py, but modifying that strikes me as a poor plan. Changing that text would be lovely. Actually making that field required would be seriously awesome. Is this possible in the current code base (3.2.0) without doing ill-advised things modifying source code? Thanks! -- Joel Lord Web Administrator, Alpha Psi Omega Grand Cast etc... etc... etc...

Converting non-members to members
by Alan So Dec. 27, 2018

Dec. 27, 2018

Postorius is not currently exposing non-members management. Our Mailman 2 users are currently using accept_these_nonmembers, hold_these_nonmembers and reject_these_nonmembers. We know that mailman import21 will change these to nonmembers entries in Mailman 3. Since list owners will still want to manage them, we tend to move all of them to members and turn off delivery status for them. However, we met some difficulties when we try to develop using mailman client. 1) If those non-members addresses already exist as members, we will encounter error when we subscribe for them: urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 409: b'Member already subscribed' 2) We cannot change the moderation_action: urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: b'Cannot convert parameters: moderation_action' 3) We cannot change the preference: urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: b'Cannot convert parameters: delivery_status' Are there any better ways to enable the list owners to manage those previously configured nonmembers' addresses through the web? Otherwise, we probably need to have some manual effort to overcome the above three issues. We know that we can always do the above manually but we got a lot of lists to migrate to Mailman 3.

Mailman3 and Exim setup

I am installing Mailman3 via the Docker image provided by maxking. In his instructions he says: "To use Exim4, it should be setup to relay emails from 172.19.199.3 and 172.19.199.2." I am not sure where in the exim.conf file this is done. I took a guess at: hostlist relay_from_hosts = localhost : 172.19.199.3 : 172.19.199.2 Was my guess wrong?

Mailman3 via Docker and NGINX
by brian＠emwd.com Dec. 19, 2018

Dec. 19, 2018

I have Mailman3 installed on CentOS 7 using maxking's docker image. I believe the installation went fine and running "curl http://172.19.199.3:8000/postorius/lists/" produces the correct output. I also will be using exim and nginx with this installation. It seems I am stuck with the nginx setup. I created a sitename.com.conf file in the /etc/nginx/conf.d folder. I have the following inputted there: server { listen 80; server_name `sitename.com`; location /static/ { alias /opt/mailman/web/static/; } location / { include uwsgi_params; uwsgi_pass 172.19.199.3:8000; uwsgi_read_timeout 300; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; } } However when I go to http://sitename.com (obviously using an alias here for privacy reasons) I get the default nginx index page. Do I need to add anything to the main nginx.conf file to be able to see my mailman3 installation? Thank you for any assistance, Brian Carpenter

Templates
by David Krantz Dec. 19, 2018

Dec. 19, 2018

Hi. How do I set a template for one specific list? I want one list to have a special footer template. I have tried updating the database (template table) without effect so apparently the database is not used for templates or some kind of fallback is used to set it to the generic footer. Of course I also tried to restart mailman after that operation to try to rule out any caching-related problem. I want to use a file://-path as that is the least painful way of doing it. I also would like a solution to place a file in a special location. My current templates are in a .../var/templates/site/en/ structure with names like list:member:generic:footer.txt Cheers // David

Newbie Wants To Know About Multiple Lists

Howdy, I am new to Mailman and there are so many things I would like to know. Before I try to find out how to install and configure the software, I need to know if, how and what is required for us to set up this software to deal with more than one email list. I am working with a plan to setup a CentOS VPS on which Mailman will be hosted. The objective is to host and administrate mailing list for the 3 entities that I am directly involved with. These lists must function completely unrelated to each other including the email addresses from which the emails & news letters are sent from. If this is possible can I be given information or a link to how it can be done and what is required?

Hyperkitty archives - new list not archived
by vaarcilal＠eafit.edu.co Dec. 12, 2018

Dec. 12, 2018

Hi!! I'm running mailman 3.2 on Ubuntu server 18.04. Installed it via pip inside a conda virtual environment. I'm having problems related to hyperkitty on which I'd really appreciate some help. When I try to access the archives of a mailing list named 'test-nov' it redirects me to 'example.com/hyperkitty/list/test-nov@example.com/', where a 404 appears and a 'No archived mailing-list by that name.' message is thrown by hyperkitty.views.mlist.overview. I'm not very experienced with django, so I could have made a mistake on any configuration. I have not configured an MX for my mail server yet, so I'm able to send emails but I can't recieve emails for my lists. Is this somehow related to a misconfigurated MTA? Which logs should I take into account? Regards, Vincent.

Mailman3-Web lots of database queries
by Stefan Tatschner Dec. 10, 2018

Dec. 10, 2018

Hey! I recently set up a mailman3 instance and it works quite nice. I use the debian packages from buster. After running the thing for a few days, I realized an unexpected network load (my postgres database is on a separate machine). Turning the postgres log on revealed that mailman3 constantly queries the database: [...] 2018-11-17 16:33:15.417 UTC [8304] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:15.385901+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:15.663 UTC [8305] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:15.621505+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:15.664 UTC [8306] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:15.624011+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:15.908 UTC [8308] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:15.870547+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:15.910 UTC [8307] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:15.871611+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:16.152 UTC [8310] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:16.116762+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:16.154 UTC [8309] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:16.114878+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:16.390 UTC [8311] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:16.358211+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:16.393 UTC [8312] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:16.359704+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:16.634 UTC [8313] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:16.596602+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:16.636 UTC [8314] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:16.598296+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:16.882 UTC [8315] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:16.842795+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 2018-11-17 16:33:16.884 UTC [8316] mailman3web@mailman3web LOG: statement: SELECT "django_q_ormq"."id", "django_q_ormq"."key", "django_q_ormq"."payload", "django_q_ormq"."lock" FROM "django_q_ormq" WHERE ("django_q_ormq"."key" = 'default' AND "django_q_ormq"."lock" < '2018-11-17T16:32:16.841916+00:00'::timestamptz) LIMIT 1 [...] Is this behaviour intended?

What is the difference between Mime Digest and Summary Digest in Mailman 3.2.0?
by Henrik Rasmussen Dec. 5, 2018

Dec. 5, 2018

Having tried both Outlook and Gmail, there doesn't seem to be any visible difference between Mime Digest and Summary Digest. Of cause Gmail shows both index and all posts inline while Outlook shows both index and all posts as attachments, but overall the two digest types doesn't seem different from each other. Is that corrent or did I miss something? /Henrik Rasmussen

HyperKitty/Mailman3 issues
by Florian Schulze Dec. 4, 2018

Dec. 4, 2018

Hi! I tried setting up Scheduled Tasks as described in <http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-web.html#scheduled-tasks-required> but the "runjobs" command can't be found. I see the hyperkitty and mailman commands when using "help". The "qcluster" service is working. Using Django 2.1.1 and HyperKitty 1.2.1. Maybe related to that, I have two issues with archives. 1. Changing the archiving setting in the Web-UI to something else than public seems to have no effect. The already archived messages are still accessible in public. 2. Related to 1., how can I remove a list archive without affecting other lists? Regards, Florian Schulze

Setup Mailman3 on shared webhost
by Keyra Nov. 8, 2018

Nov. 8, 2018

Iam trying to setup mailman3 on a shared webhost (with ssh access). I could use pip3.6 install mailman --user and also mailman info But when I try to start mailman using mailman start I will first get the error message TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType and when I try it a second (and third etc.) time, it throws Starting Mailman's master runner /usr/bin/python3.6: can't open file '/usr/bin/master': [Errno 2] No such file or directory I didn't get any error messages during installation, so I guess whatever mailman is looking for in /user/bin/master is available in my /home/user/ folder, but I have no idea where and how to tell mailman to look there.

Mailman 3 on RHEL 7 help

Hi. I am trying to install mailman 3 on RHEL7. Docker install is not a possibility. I am trying to install it using a bundler by following https://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/mailman-bundler/stable/mailman-bundler.pdf, but after logging in as mailman, I can't do virtualenv venv. It works if I login as root, but still fails during buildout. In short, I need help. Has anyone of you guys installed mailman 3 on RHEL 7 or CEntOS 7? If so would you share me detailed instructions? Thank you in advance.

autoresponse not sent
by shadiakiki1986＠gmail.com Oct. 22, 2018

Oct. 22, 2018

Hello. Newbie to mailman here. I tried out mailman3 today. My setup is - mailman3 suite using the docker-compose file from asynchronous.io - exim4 on the local machine and configuring it as smarthost using mailgun smtp server The emails to the mailing list are received by the subscribers, but the autoresponse is not being received by the sender (who is not from the subscribers list). I'm not sure if the problem is from mailman-core, settings from mailman-web, or from exim. The setting for autoresponse to posters is set to yes, with some text to be sent in the autoresponse message. The autoresponse grace period is set to "0d60.0s" (I was unable to set to "0" or "negative" due to error saying something like "could not update parameter") The "Acknowledge posts" in the "global mailman settings" is set to "yes". The "Acknowledge posts" in the list-based preferences is also "yes". Here are the exim logs after I send the email from the non-subscriber to the mailing list ``` 2018-10-19 15:13:32 1gDWSy-0004n7-VR DKIM: d=gmail.com s=20161025 c=relaxed/relaxed a=rsa-sha256 b=2048 [verification succeeded] 2018-10-19 15:13:32 1gDWSy-0004n7-VR <= shadiakiki1986(a)gmail.com H=mail-vk1-f171.google.com [209.85.221.171] P=esmtp K S=2416 id=CACk+RNtq_hu+M_ufoCJQFCtOWOD_DX0omdVJbKfva0w=n4Qhuw(a)mail.gmail.com 2018-10-19 15:13:33 1gDWSy-0004n7-VR => quotations(a)mailman3.akikieng.com R=mailman3_router T=mailman3_transport H=172.19.199.2 [172.19.199.2] C="250 Ok" 2018-10-19 15:13:33 1gDWSy-0004n7-VR Completed 2018-10-19 15:13:35 1gDWT1-0004nC-1I DKIM: d=gmail.com s=20161025 c=relaxed/relaxed a=rsa-sha256 b=2048 [verification failed - signature did not verify (headers probably modified in transit)] 2018-10-19 15:13:35 1gDWT1-0004nC-1I <= quotations-bounces(a)mailman3.akikieng.com H=ip-172-19-199-2.us-west-2.compute.internal [172.19.199.2] P=esmtp S=3847 id=CACk+RNtq_hu+M_ufoCJQFCtOWOD_DX0omdVJbKfva0w=n4Qhuw(a)mail.gmail.com 2018-10-19 15:13:35 1gDWT1-0004nC-1I => shadi(a)akikieng.com R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost H=smtp.mailgun.org [35.161.201.187] X=TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256 CV=yes DN="C=US,ST=California,L=San Francisco,O=MAILGUN TECHNOLOGIES\, INC,OU=MAILGUN TECHNOLOGIES\, INC,CN=*.mailgun.org" A=plain C="250 Great success" 2018-10-19 15:13:35 1gDWT1-0004nC-1I Completed ``` 1. Is the signature verification failure due to mailman-core trying to send the autoresponse outgoing message? At first, I thought that the DKIM signature verification caused Exim to be dropping the autoresponse. So I set `DISABLE_DKIM_VERIFY=true` in exim, but still no autoresponse. Here are the exim logs after the sender sends the email ``` ^[[A2018-10-19 14:58:40 1gDWEa-0004Ww-QF <= shadiakiki1986(a)gmail.com H=mail-vs1-f53.google.com [209.85.217.53] P=esmtp K S=2410 id=CACk+RNvnfS+e+Uh-OSKjPB8oe+b1=efAJ6BSrc51jz_h9sVoFQ(a)mail.gmail.com 2018-10-19 14:58:40 1gDWEa-0004Ww-QF => quotations(a)mailman3.akikieng.com R=mailman3_router T=mailman3_transport H=172.19.199.2 [172.19.199.2] C="250 Ok" 2018-10-19 14:58:40 1gDWEa-0004Ww-QF Completed 2018-10-19 14:58:42 1gDWEc-0004Wz-R1 <= quotations-bounces(a)mailman3.akikieng.com H=ip-172-19-199-2.us-west-2.compute.internal [172.19.199.2] P=esmtp S=3841 id=CACk+RNvnfS+e+Uh-OSKjPB8oe+b1=efAJ6BSrc51jz_h9sVoFQ(a)mail.gmail.com 2018-10-19 14:58:42 1gDWEc-0004Wz-R1 => shadi(a)akikieng.com R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost H=smtp.mailgun.org [54.69.10.167] X=TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256 CV=yes DN="C=US,ST=California,L=San Francisco,O=MAILGUN TECHNOLOGIES\, INC,OU=MAILGUN TECHNOLOGIES\, INC,CN=*.mailgun.org" A=plain C="250 Great success" 2018-10-19 14:58:42 1gDWEc-0004Wz-R1 Completed ``` 2. is my understanding correct in reading these logs that there is nothing here about an autoresponse?

MM3 vs. Sympa
by Tom Browder Oct. 21, 2018

Oct. 21, 2018

I still haven’t gotten around to getting a new MM3 service up and running, and now I’m looking at Sympa. I’ve seen a few comparisons of the two systems on the net, but the ones I’ve seen are for announcement lists only. I did see one university that did a study of list managers to replace Listproc and chose Sympa. I must admit my short-lived MM2 experience (used for my social sites for my high school and college classmates) seven years ago wasn’t the best was for two reasons: (1) no duplication of list names even for different domains and (2) it’s written in Python (instead of Perl). But, thanks to much help from Mark, I did get it runnng. I think it would be running today but it failed after about a year when Gmail (whose sntp server I was using) stopped allowing that, and I just didn’t know enough to get around the situation and had too much else to do. I waited expectantly for MM3 to come out and was ready to try again, but the separation of a formerly-integrated system into several systems was a bit daunting. Now I’m considering using Sympa: it’s coded in Perl, it’s monolithic, and it can support identical list names for different domains, so I am leaning in that direction. Before I go, I would appreciate anyone giving me a good reason to stay with MM (besides excellent support and a welcoming community—one which is a member of an unfortunately small group of such communities). Thanks so much. Best regards, -Tom

Difficulties setting up MM3 with Postfix MTA in Docker Environment: Invalid EHLO domain name & Authentification as lists.local
by Niklas Frühauf Oct. 21, 2018

Oct. 21, 2018

Hi everyone, I managed to setup mailman using the maxking/mailman-* docker containers, connected to a postfix/dovecot mailserver and a mysql database. The mail domain is @mail.local, mailman is reachable at lists.local. I can see the mailman UI fine, its connection to the database is working as well, the only things that’s not working is the initial login: When I try to login with the correct credentials of the superuser I added, I get An error occurred while processing your request. To me it seems like mailman is trying to authenticate as “lists.local” or “mail.local” or “localhost” to postfix (which of course isn’t working), then issues a EHLO/HELO to postfix which is not a FQDN. So I guess the latter issue could be resolved by providing a FQDN by mailman. These are the logfiles from the period: mail | Oct 21 11:15:07 mail postfix/postscreen[1862]: CONNECT from [172.18.18.8]:49288 to [172.18.18.254]:25 ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 fd=12 ACCEPT from IP=172.18.19.8:49252 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=0 BIND dn="cn=admin,dc=..." method=128 ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=0 BIND dn="cn=admin,dc=..." mech=SIMPLE ssf=0 ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=1 SRCH base="ou=users,dc=..." scope=2 deref=0 filter="(mail=lists.local)" ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=1 SRCH attr=mail ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=1 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=2 SRCH base="ou=users,dc=..." scope=2 deref=0 filter="(?mailGroupMember=lists.local)" ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=2 SRCH attr=mail ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=2 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=3 SRCH base="ou=users,dc=..." scope=2 deref=0 filter="(|(mail=*@lists.local)(mailalias=*@lists.local))" ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=3 SRCH attr=mail ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 <= mdb_substring_candidates: (mail) not indexed ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 <= mdb_substring_candidates: (mailalias) not indexed ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=3 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=4 SRCH base="ou=users,dc=..." scope=2 deref=0 filter="(mail=mail.local)" ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=4 SRCH attr=mail ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=4 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=5 SRCH base="ou=users,dc=..." scope=2 deref=0 filter="(?mailGroupMember=mail.local)" ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=5 SRCH attr=mail ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=5 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=6 SRCH base="ou=users,dc=..." scope=2 deref=0 filter="(|(mail=*@mail.local)(mailalias=*@mail.local))" ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=6 SRCH attr=mail ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 <= mdb_substring_candidates: (mail) not indexed ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 <= mdb_substring_candidates: (mailalias) not indexed ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=6 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=7 SRCH base="ou=users,dc=..." scope=2 deref=0 filter="(mail=lists.local)" ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=7 SRCH attr=mail ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=7 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=8 SRCH base="ou=users,dc=..." scope=2 deref=0 filter="(?mailGroupMember=lists.local)" ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=8 SRCH attr=mail ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=8 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=9 SRCH base="ou=users,dc=..." scope=2 deref=0 filter="(|(mail=*@lists.local)(mailalias=*@lists.local))" ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=9 SRCH attr=mail ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 <= mdb_substring_candidates: (mail) not indexed ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 <= mdb_substring_candidates: (mailalias) not indexed ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=9 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= mail | Oct 21 11:15:13 mail postfix/postscreen[1862]: PASS OLD [172.18.18.8]:49288 mail | Oct 21 11:15:13 mail postfix/smtpd[1873]: connect from srv-docker_mailman-web_1.srv-docker_frontend[172.18.18.8] mail | Oct 21 11:15:17 mail postfix/postscreen[1862]: warning: dnsblog reply timeout 10s for list.dnswl.org mail | Oct 21 11:15:27 mail postfix/dnsblog[1866]: warning: dnsblog_query: lookup error for DNS query 8.18.18.172.list.dnswl.org: Host or domain name not found.

Hello. I am seeing dkim fail in mail that people send to lists /dkim=fail reason="signature verification failed"/ but it is not happening when the list solely sending mail to subscribers (like digest, or subscribe/unsubscribe messages etc). I recently added a new domain to the mailman3. After this I started noticing this issue. Any help ?

Change digest frequency and default threshold
by Henrik Rasmussen Oct. 12, 2018

Oct. 12, 2018

When creating a new list in Mailman 3, the Digest Size Threshold is set to 30KB, which is not much in my opnion. 1) How do I set another default for Digest Size Threshold for new lists. 2) How do I change the default for existing lists When Digest Size Threshold is not reached, mails seems to be sent according to digest_volume_frequency': which is set to 'monthly'. The web interface doesn't seem to have a setting for this. How do I change this setting, both on a single list and the default for new lists? Henrik Rasmussen

Can't remove footer(s)

Oct. 11, 2018

I have a problem removing the footer(s) from a list imported from MM2.1. I have been testing by entering my message in Hyperkitty (the list forum). I an aware about the double footer issue[1], and I am aware that footers are cached, but I have removed the footer files according to [2], run Mailman shell according to [3], restarted the Mailman (Mailman core, Mailan web, Postgres database and postfix). Did I miss something in order to remove the footers?

Proper permissions for mailman installation under home directory, with layout: local
by Eric Abrahamsen Oct. 3, 2018

Oct. 3, 2018

I recently upgraded my server from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04, and have hit some snags in the process. I've had my mailman3 installation under my home directory, running as my own user, without too many problems. var_dir was set to something in my home directory. Recently, while tracking down some weird behavior, I realized that with this sort of setup I'm supposed to use "layout: local", and that previously I'd had a sort of weird half-way installation where some things were kept in my /home/<me>/sites/mailman directory, and other bits (pids and whatnot) were scattered around the filesystem. Now that I'm using "layout: local", mailman really is trying to keep everything under that main directory, and now everything's breaking. The hyperkitty search indexer is saying it has no permissions to write into that directory, postfix won't deliver mail, saying the mailbox is unavailable, and in the web UI postorius shows no configured list domains (though hyperkitty still displays the archives correctly). So obviously I've got quite a big problem with permissions, but I don't know how to resolve it. My webserver is nginx, running as www-data. I'm starting mailman in a systemd script, with User and Group set to my user -- though maybe that should be set to root? I guess postfix runs as root, I'm not sure, but obviously it's not able to read the files in var/data/*, which appear all correct to me. What's the recommended solution here? I'd still like to keep this whole directory under my home directory, if possible... Thanks, Eric

Hyperkitty splitting threads?
by Marvin Gülker Sept. 30, 2018

Sept. 30, 2018

Hi, I'm experiencing a problem with regard to how Hyperkitty decides how to group messages into a thread. It appearently randomly splits a thread and creates a new one from the replies, even though the replies have the proper In-Reply-To: header set. As of now, the front page for our mailing list[1] illustrates the issue nicely: the "TSC Boost Build Issues" topic has been split over three threads for no appearent reason, and the "Providing an APT repository" one in two. Sometimes replies are collected into the proper thread, though (see the latter thread). Exact links follow as the front page can change later on: * The "Boost Build Issues" topic (these should all be in one thread page): * https://lists.secretchronicles.org/hyperkitty/list/tsc-devel@lists.secretch… * https://lists.secretchronicles.org/hyperkitty/list/tsc-devel@lists.secretch… * https://lists.secretchronicles.org/hyperkitty/list/tsc-devel@lists.secretch… * The "APT repository" topic (these should all be in one thread page as well): * https://lists.secretchronicles.org/hyperkitty/list/tsc-devel@lists.secretch… * https://lists.secretchronicles.org/hyperkitty/list/tsc-devel@lists.secretch… This is Mailman 3.2.0 with Hyperkitty 1.2.0. We will shortly upgrade Hyperkitty to the current version, but since I didn't find something related in the release notes for newer versions, I thought I'd ask here if the problem is known. Also, is there a way to rebuild the thread structure so that the existing errorneous splits can be corrected?

Docker-mailman: Performance issue
by Henrik Rasmussen Sept. 28, 2018

Sept. 28, 2018

I am using Docker-mailman (currently Mailman version 3.2.0a1). I have a list with 38513 subscribers and when I operate on a very large number of them (for example click Unsubscribe all), the web interface times out. The same happens if I use the REST API, one member at the time, but run from a python script i've made). The Docker containers for both Mailman core (mostly) and mailman web (sometimes) are using 100% CPU (quart of the server's amount of CPUs). By doubleing the CPU shares that the two docker containers can use (using RHEL Cockpit) from 1024 to 2048 for each, Mailman-core had a max usage of 190% and Mailman-web about 101%. Still, mass unsubscribing the members by clicking Unsubscribe all made theinterface time out. Using the REST API succeeded unsubscribing all, but still made the Mailman web interface inaccessible. How can I make Docker-mailman perform better, to avoid these timeouts. -- Henrik Rasmussen University of Copenhagen

Dump/restore users (with passwords) via API
by Dmitry Makovey Sept. 26, 2018

Sept. 26, 2018

We are trying to dump/restore users using API calls and it seems that API allows us to dump password hashes (a good thing), but then API does not allow to insert users back using saved password hashes - only cleartext passwords. Aside from create_user is there any other way to create users/change their password? -- Sr System and DevOps Engineer SoM IRT

List description as sender
by Henrik Rasmussen Sept. 26, 2018

Sept. 26, 2018

When receiving a mail from Mailman 3, the From: User name is the description of the list, like From: Long desription of the list for all members of certain project <project(a)lists.example.com>. Starting to get old, I recall something about a discussion we once had on http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/, but I don't recall the reason for this and I can't find the discussion, so it might be something I dreamed. What was the reason for implementing this? And could it be a selectable choise in Mailman 3?

Text encoding problem, preapproved header
by Thor Atle Rustad Sept. 20, 2018

Sept. 20, 2018

Mailman 3.2. I send a message to the list with some national characters (æøå ÆØÅ), and everything shows up fine. Then I send the same message using pseudo-header approved: with the list password. This messes up the character encoding, so that instead I get (=C3=A6=C3=B8=C3=A5 =C3= =86=C3=98=C3=85) I experience the problem when I send or receive with Gmail web client, however, when using the Claws-mail (an ordinary mail client) to pick up from my gmail account, the contents is shown correctly. Any suggestions?

Rejection based on total message size including attachments
by leith＠khimaira.com Sept. 20, 2018

Sept. 20, 2018

As a web hosting provider I have searched and searched for a way to limit the total size of messages posted to all lists. We have moderators who just can't get it through their heads to limit the size of attachments. One list today distributed a 6 mb pdf to over 700 recipients. I have found information on creating a custom handler and some old and brief logic on limiting max_message_size from Mr. Sapiro. Would anyone who has developed a custom handler to reject messages based on total size, mind sharing the full file? If so, could you also state where the handler was positioned in the chain of handlers. Thank you for your time.

Set domain inactive / archive import from other domain.
by Johannes Winter Sept. 19, 2018

Sept. 19, 2018

Dear list, we've migrated a list from another domain and would like to keep the archives. Hyperkitty doesn't recognize the emails in the mbox archive during import due to the other domain name. As a workaround we thought of creating a placeholder list with the original and than import the mbox. But actually I don't like to have dysfunctional lists in the domain list. Is it possible to set domains invisible? Or is there a switch to import a list from another domain? Best regards, Johannes Winter

Counter-intuitive header filter processing
by Jonas Meurer Sept. 18, 2018

Sept. 18, 2018

Hello, it seems like the way mailman3 processes header filters is a bit counter-intuitive. With a header filter (HeaderMatch) like the following: header => from pattern => .*(a)freesources.org chain => accept I expect mails from *(a)freesources.org to be accepted regardless of the default message acceptance settings. Apparently, that's not the case. If the default message acceptance setting for members is set to "reject", then mails from *(a)freesources.org get rejected even though the header filter says "accept". In other words, the default message acceptance action seems to overrule any header filters. Is this expected behaviour? Kind regards jonas

Using as a forum
by tokyoprogressive＠mailbox.org Sept. 18, 2018

Sept. 18, 2018

Our group of 30 plus people have the perennial problem in MM II of not checking previous messages before replying. A second problem is starting a new topic rather than responding to a message in the same topic, which makes searching even harder. I previously suggested a forum or something like Stack or Flock. People had no interest in a Word Press forum yet moan about the inefficiency of a list, also it is something new and involves leaving email. Stack and Flock make it hard to require all to be a member of all topics in their free versions. Then it occurred to me, the threaded view in Mailman III looks good and could help us nudge people back on topic. Am I being too optimistic. It is a closed group only open to people we approve. I would like to migrate to MM III but lack the technical skills to fo this? Anyone who could do this for a fee? We probably do not need to bring in the old topics. (I guess there us no way like a forum to limit the topics but at least we could keep things on track). Thanks Paul Arenson Japan Association for Language Teaching Sent from my iPhone

How to connect mailman into existing postfix server
by Hagen Bauer Sept. 16, 2018

Sept. 16, 2018

Hi to all, I am trying to setup mailman3 with the Docker Image. Everythings works relative nicely but I am blocked by the Postfix integration part. I have a small postfix server that is delivering mails to known domains and an alias map. The standard use case assumes that the external postfix is only routing mails to the mailman lmtp. If I do this all my old users are recected. I am looking for an example(s) to integrate mailman into a Postfix configuration as an additional target for postfix. Any hints Regards Hagen

Stability issues
by schultmc＠cinlug.org Sept. 14, 2018

Sept. 14, 2018

We're currently piloting Mailman3 to replace a failing Ecartis installation. We've had to push back our go live date several times due to stability issues with our Mailman 3 installation. We currently have Mailman core 3.2.0 running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 with 2 vCPUs, 8GB RAM and 25GB swap space. Occasionally, we see mailman become unresponsive both via the REST API and the web UI. We haven't seen anything glaring in the logs but would be happy to check further. I know Mailman 3 powers many large lists and would appreciate any performance, stability and tuning information that can be provided.

Memory usage
by Adi Kriegisch Sept. 13, 2018

Dear all, I've been using mailman2 for quite some time and I am considering upgrading to mailman3. In a test setup I noticed that mailman3 with just a basic setup (Debian with mailman3 package and sqlite as backend using exim4) uses over 700MB RAM (RSS): | USER VSZ RSS COMMAND | list 73072 54568 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/mailman3/bin/master | list 73100 54500 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/mailman3/bin/runner --runner=archive:0:1 | list 73100 54572 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/mailman3/bin/runner --runner=bounces:0:1 | list 73100 54560 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/mailman3/bin/runner --runner=command:0:1 | list 73100 54600 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/mailman3/bin/runner --runner=in:0:1 | list 146832 54700 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/mailman3/bin/runner --runner=lmtp:0:1 | list 73100 54808 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/mailman3/bin/runner --runner=nntp:0:1 | list 73100 54652 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/mailman3/bin/runner --runner=out:0:1 | list 73100 54504 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/mailman3/bin/runner --runner=pipeline:0:1 | list 150516 58228 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/mailman3/bin/runner --runner=rest:0:1 | list 73100 54508 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/mailman3/bin/runner --runner=retry:0:1 | list 73100 54500 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/mailman3/bin/runner --runner=virgin:0:1 | list 73100 54608 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/mailman3/bin/runner --runner=digest:0:1 This is with only one test list configured that just has one member. Compared to a mailman2 setup with many lists with up to 300 members that only uses around 70MB RAM: | USER VSZ RSS COMMAND | list 63724 1396 /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl -q start | list 62896 10660 /usr/bin/python /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=ArchRunner:0:1 -s | list 61156 1792 /usr/bin/python /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=BounceRunner:0:1 -s | list 58148 1808 /usr/bin/python /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=CommandRunner:0:1 -s | list 73116 23316 /usr/bin/python /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=IncomingRunner:0:1 -s | list 55464 1672 /usr/bin/python /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=NewsRunner:0:1 -s | list 65840 11868 /usr/bin/python /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=OutgoingRunner:0:1 -s | list 62036 10840 /usr/bin/python /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=VirginRunner:0:1 -s | list 58716 5712 /usr/bin/python /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=RetryRunner:0:1 -s This is without hyperkitty or a management interface, just mailman3 core that uses 10 times as much ram as mailman2. Did I do something wrong here? Is there probably a bug in my python environment? Are there any config options that I should set to avoid this huge memory footprint? I found one thread[1] on this mailing list where a user asked a question similar to mine with comparable numbers. best regards, Adi Kriegisch [1] https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message…

confusing contents of database (data corruption?)

ARC
by David Krantz Aug. 30, 2018

Aug. 30, 2018

Hi, I just found out that gmail uses ARC (sometimes, at least). Is there support for that in Mailman 3? Without having had the time (yet) to read about in depth it it seems as if ARC is intended to solve at least some of the problems that mail lists have with DKIM. Probably causes others... It might be that no support really is needed in mailman so that just milters in sendmail, postfix etc. might do the trick. regards // David

Hi, I'm looking at migrating from an old server running mailman 2.1.15 (Debian wheezy) to a new Ubuntu 18.04 LTS system. I'd like to upgrade to mailman3 as a part of this migration. I was reading the migration docs (<http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/migration.html>), which seem to require both mailman2 and mailman3 be installed concurrently on the same system. Is that correct, or can I rsync the mailman2 list information onto the new server without mailman2 itself being present, and import from there? Thanks!

Implicit destination
by David Krantz Aug. 28, 2018

Aug. 28, 2018

Hi, I have a spam-problem like anyone else. Most of the spam my listserver receives has some kind of impilict destination so the implicit rule catches most of the spam that way. This is fine. What is not so fine, however, is that this results in a moderation message to the sender. I'd like to stop that so that the spammer has no confirmation that the mail was received. I can probably stop this in postfix before the mail reaches mailman3, but I'd prefer changing the behaviour of the rule. Is there any setting that could be used or should I just modify the rule? Cheers. // David

On the host (outside the docker container) I've made an updater using the REST API to keep certain lists updated with imported addresses from one of our other systems, though respecting opt ins and opt outs. Similar to Mailman 2 I would like to avoid the welcome message to those automatic updated members, even the list is configred to send welcome message to those opting in by will, and I also like to avoid forcing the list owner/moderator to approve all new members automatically updated even the list is set for moderation of new members opting in by will. What is the payload for "no welcome message"? def add_new_members(listname_fqdn, members): [SNIP] for member in newmembers: payload['list_id'] = listname_fqdn.replace('@', '.') payload['subscriber'] = member payload['pre_verified'] = True payload['pre_confirmed'] = True payload['pre_approved'] = True response = mmapipost('members', payload) def mmapipost(apicommand,payload): response = requests.post('http://172.19.199.2:8001/%s/%s' % (restapiversion, apicommand), data=payload, auth=('restadmin', 'restpass'))

Moving from old-school install to docker
by David Krantz Aug. 19, 2018

Aug. 19, 2018

Hi, Is there any documented procedure moving from a working install of mailman3 and postorius to a docker-based version? The reason would be to get a setup that is somewhat easier to maintain and upgrade. That said much of the work is to keep a mta, web server, spamfilter, grey list solution, dkim signing etc. running and up to date. I suspect that there is no pre-made docker images for that? cheers // David

dedicated mailman3 list server on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS - questions after installation
by John Seifarth Aug. 6, 2018

Aug. 6, 2018

My goal is to build a stable dedicated list server using mailman3. It should use all current email authentication techniques to clearly show that it is an authentic non-spam mail list server. In the future, I may want to use the REST interface, so that’s why mailman2 is not an option. My installation: Installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS server, with postfix, mysql and postgres. I then installed mail-stack-delivery, postfix-policyd-spf-python, OpenDKIM, and OpenDMARC. I configured SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records on my DNS server, and then configured postfix and dovecot to DKIM sign outgoing mail from local users, and check SPF, DMARC, and DKIM on incoming mail. I then installed the package mailman3-full, which provides version 3.1.1-9, using postgres 10 as the database. I have looked in Ubuntu bionic-backports and bionic-updates and do not see a more recent version. I see that version 3.2 was released in July, are debian/ubuntu mailman 3.2 packages available somewhere? I set up the /etc/mailman3 files: I added this to the end of mailman.cfg [archiver.hyperkitty] class: mailman_hyperkitty.Archiver enable: yes configuration: /etc/mailman3/mailman-hyperkitty.cfg In mailman-hyperkitty.cfg I copied the api_key: value from mailman-web.py MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_KEY, but removed the single quotes surrounding the value in the mailman-web.py file when writing the key in the mailman-hyperkitty.cfg file. I modified /etc/postfix/main.cf with this appended to the end: # Mailman-postfix integration owner_request_special = no # Support the default VERP delimiter. recipient_delimiter = + unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 owner_request_special = no transport_maps = hash:/var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_lmtp local_recipient_maps = proxy:unix:passwd.byname, $alias_maps, hash:/var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_lmtp relay_domains = ${{$compatibility_level} < {2} ? {$mydestination} : {}} hash:/var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_domains I ran /usr/share/mailman3-web/manage.py createsuperuser I ran a2enmod proxy_uwsgi I made a symbolic link from /etc/mailman3/apache.conf to /etc/apache2/conf-available/mailman3.conf, then ran a2enconf mailman3 I have read the documentation in /usr/share/docs/mailman3* along with what I could find concerning mailman3 on the web. The installation allows me to sign into the web interface, create a host, create mailing lists, and mass subscribe members. When members send email to the list address, the server sends the messages normally to the other members of the list. However, when I look at the list archives, there are no posts. I deliberately mass-subscribed an invalid address, and I can see in /var/log/mail.log that the message bounces, but I get no notification, nor do I see any bounce info when I look at the member info. My questions: 1) logging A lot of my questions would probably be answered if I could figure out hot to activate logging correctly. Currently, I see: root@mailman:/var/log/mailman3# ll -R -rw-rw---- 1 list list 0 Jul 29 20:06 bounce.log -rw-rw---- 1 list list 0 Jul 29 20:06 debug.log -rw-r----- 1 list list 3298 Aug 4 00:00 mailman.log -rw-rw---- 1 list list 34606 Jul 30 17:44 smtp.log drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data 4096 Aug 3 06:25 web/ ./web: -rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data 1520 Aug 3 06:25 mailman-web.log The bounce log and debug log are empty. I’ve set propagate: yes in the [logging.debian] section From /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg # In this section, you can define defaults for all loggers, which will be # prefixed by 'mailman.'. Use subsections to override settings for specific # loggers. The names of the available loggers are: # # - archiver -- All archiver output # - bounce -- All bounce processing logs go here # - config -- Configuration issues <…snip…> Can anyone post an example of a ‘subsection’ to set archiver and bounce to debug? Do I have to create /var/log/mailman3/mailman.archiver.log and set ownership to list:list? 2) Where are posts stored? For me, this is the biggest mystery in mailman3. Local mail is delivered to ~/Maildir by dovecot. In the $var_dir hierarchy the directory messages contains just 2 messages dating to my initial tests. Anything I send to a list now, and which seems to be sent properly to the member addresses, I cannot find on the filesystem. Any clues as to what may be going on here? 3) Archival - Hyperkitty How does this work? All the parts seem to be in place, and I can see from ps /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/mailman3/bin/runner --runner=archive:0:1 -C /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg How can I figure out why this is not working? In the web interface, I see that each of my lists has zero posts. But posts mailed to the list address do appear in the list members’ mailboxes! 4) Bounces I’ve deliberately put an erroneous email address as a list member. In postfix’s /var/log/mail.log I see the bounces, but get no notification, and /var/log/mailman3/bounce.log remains empty. 5) DKIM and DMARC I’ve got OpenDKIM running on inet:12345@localhost and OpenDMARC running on net:54321@localhost. How can I get mailman to use these milters and sign messages? How should DMARC munging be configured when signing? 6) Is there an overview of how mailman3 works? Is there documentation which explains the path of an incoming post through the system, including initial reception, list processing, sending to members, processing bounces, and archiving posts? Thanks in advance for help and pointers to any available documentation! John Seifarth Words & Wires SPRL Computer Consulting & Language Services Brussels, Belgium

Hello Using Mailman 3.2 / Posfix 2.10.1 I have a list configured, when having only few members, all is OK, email gets to inbox (at GMail) But when sending to thousands of members, it gets to the Spam folder, Is it a matter of rate-limiting at postfix ?

"To:" header field
by Asaf Ohayon Aug. 5, 2018

Aug. 5, 2018

Hello I'm having trouble with getting into spam folder (at least at gmail), I'm suspecting to "To:" field (among other things). Comparing to Mailman 2.1, which we recently upgrading from, and didn't got spammed, the "To:" field was set to the actual reciever, While in Mailman 3.2, the "To:" field is set to the list's address. How can this be configured ? Thanks -- Asaf Ohayon SRE | SysBind M: +972 547920828 P: + 972 3 5096219 E: asaf(a)sysbind.co.il Rothschild 60, Bat Yam www.sysbind.co.il

Archiving error

Since about two days ago, all attempts to archive messages via Hyperkitty have raised the error below. So far as I know, I haven't updated any packages, or changed any config. I don't know why this has started happening.

MM3 installation recommendation: Docker or individual components?
by Tom Browder July 28, 2018

July 28, 2018

I want to install MM3 on a virgin host running Debian 9. I want to minimize problems as bugs are fixed and necessary upgrades are published. I will use PostgreSQL, nginx, and Postfix, and am reasonably competent runnng my own remote server (full control, hard iron server, not virtual). The host will only serve mail to the public and nothing else (no websites, no other users). I did run a successful MM2 site (thanks to Mark’s copious and gracious help!) for a couple of years from 2011 to 2013, so I’m no stranger to some of the MM3 jargon. I have been running Apache 2.4+ with 10+ virtual https websites since 2010. I use Letsencrypt certificates for all of them. I have no experience with Docker, Django, or nginx. Should I choose the Docker method or individual compnent installation? I realize this is an open ended and very subjective request, but I would appreciate any advice. Best regards, -Tom

Container Images for Mailman 3.2 release
by Abhilash Raj July 27, 2018

July 27, 2018

Hi All, I have updated and pushed releases for Container Images with 3.2 release of the suite. They are available at: docker.io/maxking/mailman-web:0.2 docker.io/maxking/mailman-core:0.2 A similar copy of both is also available at quay: quay.io/maxking/mailman-web:0.2 quay.io/maxking/mailman-core:0.2 The releases contain the following versions of components: mailman-core: - Mailman Core 3.2.0 - Mailman-hyperkitty 1.1.0 mailman-web: - Postorius 1.2.1 - Hyperkitty 1.2.0 - Django-mailman3 1.2.0 - MailmanClient 3.2.0 The upgrade process from 0.1 release should be relative painless, except for the full-text index, which needs to be rebuilt due to the migration from Python 2 to 3 of the full-text indexing library whoosh. You can run the following commands to do so, after the upgrade: $ docker exec -it mailman-web bash bash # python manage.py rebuild_index If you are not using the default docker-compose.yaml file provided in the repo, you need to add an extra environment variable for mailman-web container, POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL, which defaults to `http://mailman-web:8000`. It should be the URL where your mailman-web container is listening on with HTTP (port 8000 by default). The rolling releases are not being rolled out right everyday now, because of broken build scripts. I'd recommend everyone use the new stable releases that I mentioned above. Going forward, I'll try to release stable versions more often, so that there isn't any need for rolling version, but fixing the rolling releases is on my TODO. Documentation for these images is available at: https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

Creating a new list using REST from the host
by Henrik Rasmussen July 18, 2018

July 18, 2018

I am using Docker-mailman (GNU Mailman 3.2.0a1), but from the host I am trying to create a list using the REST API in the (yet, no offense) lack of a template for new list configurations. I get a nice dictionary when getting data out of Mailman, but using this exact dictionary (for debug) as payload to Mailman (my mmapiwrite), and with reference to https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/rest/docs/lists.html#c…, I get a response "A server error occurred. Please contact the administrator.". I don't understand the dump_json and I find the docs above hard to follow. How should I create the list using REST? <code> restapiversion = '3.1' def getlistdefaultsx(): # Exact output from Mailman, see below. listdefaultsx = { 'acceptable_aliases': [], 'admin_immed_notify': True, 'admin_notify_mchanges': False, 'administrivia': True, [SNIP] 'subscription_policy': 'confirm_then_moderate', 'volume': 1} return(listdefaultsx) def get_all_list_names(): all_list_fqdn = [] response = mmapi('lists?count=10&page=1') output = response.json() for entry in output.get('entries'): all_list_fqdn.append(entry.get('fqdn_listname')) return(all_list_fqdn) def addlist(): list_setup = getlistdefaultsx() go_create_list('abc', list_setup) def go_create_list(list_name_fqdn, list_setup): #pprint(list_setup) print('Creating list %s ...' % list_name_fqdn) response = mmapiwrite('lists', list_setup) def mmapi(apicommand): response = requests.get('http://172.19.199.2:8001/%s/%s' % (restapiversion, apicommand), auth=('restadmin', 'restpass')) def mmapiwrite(apicommand,payload): response = requests.post('http://172.19.199.2:8001/%s/%s' % (restapiversion, apicommand), data=payload, auth=('restadmin', 'restpass')) getlistdefaultsx is an actual dictionary with real output from Mailman using my mmapi from an existing test list (though domain names are masked. Of course I can't create an existing list, but when changing the list name I get the same error message. {'acceptable_aliases': [], 'admin_immed_notify': True, 'admin_notify_mchanges': False, 'administrivia': True, 'advertised': True, 'allow_list_posts': True, 'anonymous_list': False, 'archive_policy': 'never', 'autorespond_owner': 'none', 'autorespond_postings': 'none', 'autorespond_requests': 'none', 'autoresponse_grace_period': '90d', 'autoresponse_owner_text': '', 'autoresponse_postings_text': '', 'autoresponse_request_text': '', 'bounces_address': 'hertest2-bounces(a)example.ku.dk', 'collapse_alternatives': True, 'convert_html_to_plaintext': False, 'created_at': '2018-03-19T14:19:49.018252', 'default_member_action': 'defer', 'default_nonmember_action': 'hold', 'description': 'Test-domæne for Mailman 3-testlister', 'digest_last_sent_at': None, 'digest_send_periodic': True, 'digest_size_threshold': 30.0, 'digest_volume_frequency': 'monthly', 'digests_enabled': True, 'display_name': 'Hertest2', 'dmarc_mitigate_action': 'no_mitigation', 'dmarc_mitigate_unconditionally': False, 'dmarc_moderation_notice': '', 'dmarc_wrapped_message_text': '', 'filter_content': False, 'first_strip_reply_to': False, 'fqdn_listname': 'hertest2(a)example.ku.dk', 'http_etag': '"987dfgf8g569fvfd6v7"', 'include_rfc2369_headers': True, 'info': '', 'join_address': 'hertest2-join(a)example.ku.dk', 'last_post_at': None, 'leave_address': 'hertest2-leave(a)example.ku.dk', 'list_name': 'hertest2', 'mail_host': 'example.ku.dk', 'max_message_size': 40, 'moderator_password': None, 'next_digest_number': 1, 'no_reply_address': 'noreply(a)example.ku.dk', 'owner_address': 'hertest2-owner(a)example.ku.dk', 'post_id': 1, 'posting_address': 'hertest2(a)example.ku.dk', 'posting_pipeline': 'default-posting-pipeline', 'reply_goes_to_list': 'no_munging', 'reply_to_address': '', 'request_address': 'hertest2-request(a)example.ku.dk', 'send_welcome_message': True, 'subject_prefix': '[Hertest2] ', 'subscription_policy': 'confirm_then_moderate', 'volume': 1} </code>

Mail configuration
by Darren Smith July 14, 2018

July 14, 2018

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this question, but I'm pretty sure if there is expertise on how to do what I want to do, it can be found here. Overview of what I am looking to do: Due to the impending shutdown (in the next 6 months) of the data center where our mailman server lives, we are being forced to move the installation. We are going to be moving it to a different location. Here is our problem... Moving things is not really a problem in and of itself - I'm confident that I can get things set up correctly elsewhere. However, our email server sends somewhere around 100,000 emails per day, and if you cut over from one IP address to another IP address, my understanding is that most ISPs will start to ban you, because they are not used to that sort of volume coming from an unknown IP. I know it would be better if we could keep the IP address, but again, due to circumstances beyond my control, this is not going to be a possibility. We have been told that "warming up" the IP is the way to go - that is, cutting over just some of the traffic a little at a time. So what I am looking for is a way for all mail on our domain to be sent to our current mailman installation, and based on some configuration (certain mailing lists?) certain emails being sent out to the list subscribers will first be forwarded to the new server and be sent from the new IP address. Does that make sense? Does anyone know a way that mailman/postfix can be configured to accomplish this? Is there a different forum where I might be able to ask experts about this? Thanks, -Darren

Triaging message non-receipt
by Eric Abrahamsen July 13, 2018

July 13, 2018

I've got a very small list (five members) for the management of a charitable organization, and we're having trouble with intermittent message delivery failure. I was running all the mailman related packages at git master from maybe two months ago, and updated everything to master again when I saw the announcement about version 3.2. Two of our subscribers intermittently don't receive emails sent to the list by the other. One is using Gmail, the other Yahoo, and they confirm that messages are not being shunted into spam folders. It happens only occasionally: apparently nearly half the messages don't go through. The rest of us get all the messages, including all sent by these two. All messages are correctly archived in hyperkitty. smtp.log always shows "for 5 recips", even for the messages that the two users aren't getting. These two users only ever miss messages sent by the other. I'm still inclined to blame Gmail and/or Yahoo, though I don't know why they would be swallowing only messages from the other, and not from other list members. Is there any way to get a better sense of where things are going wrong? Turn up the logging verbosity? Send test messages? Get more diagnostics? If anyone has any suggestions (or if this situation sounds familiar to anyone) I would love to hear about it. Thanks, Eric

Mailman3 Issue
by Danny Weddle July 13, 2018

July 13, 2018

For some weird reason, the file /mailman/var/data/postfix_domains has a whitespace added to every mail domain. I checked the postfix main.cf file for any white spaces, but did not see any. I get errors every time that I try to add a list. The console shows whitespace " example.org" in the list. The web page shows: Environment: Request Method: GET Request URL: http://172.16.11.235/postorius/lists/list11.mail.example2.com/ Django Version: 2.0.5 Python Version: 3.6.5 Installed Applications: ('hyperkitty', 'postorius', 'django_mailman3', 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.sites', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', 'rest_framework', 'django_gravatar', 'paintstore', 'compressor', 'haystack', 'django_extensions', 'django_q', 'allauth', 'allauth.account', 'allauth.socialaccount', 'django_mailman3.lib.auth.fedora', 'allauth.socialaccount.providers.openid', 'allauth.socialaccount.providers.github', 'allauth.socialaccount.providers.gitlab', 'allauth.socialaccount.providers.google', 'allauth.socialaccount.providers.twitter', 'allauth.socialaccount.providers.stackexchange') Installed Middleware: ['django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware', 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware', 'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware', 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware', 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware', 'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware', 'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware'] Traceback: File "/usr/local/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/handlers/exception.py" in inner 35. response = get_response(request) File "/usr/local/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py" in _get_response 128. response = self.process_exception_by_middleware(e, request) File "/usr/local/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py" in _get_response 126. response = wrapped_callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/django/views/generic/base.py" in view 69. return self.dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/home/weddled/mailman/postorius/src/postorius/views/generic.py" in dispatch 57. return super(MailingListView, self).dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/django/views/generic/base.py" in dispatch 89. return handler(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/home/weddled/mailman/postorius/src/postorius/views/list.py" in get 219.

Pre-approved howto
by thor.rustad＠gmail.com July 9, 2018

July 9, 2018

I have tried to understand the concept of pre-approved messages, but I'm spending way too much trying to figure it out. Help! The scenario is as follows: Mailman installation with hundreds of lists. Each list's owner is only supposed to add/remove members, so approving/rejecting messages is not in the "job description". Then we have a small group of superusers who will be the ones sending documents etc to all 800 lists. The superusers should be able to do so without being stopped by size limits etc. How can I achieve this? ---- Thor Atle Rustad ----

Query on how to change moderator message to non-members
by robert.kydd＠gmail.com July 4, 2018

Hi My users are upset that when their mail is waiting moderation release they receive this message: 'Your mail to 'Members' with the subject AW: [Members] Hamburg 2019 Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval. The reason it is being held: Post by non-member to a members-only list' Is their a way to change the text "post by a non-member to a members-only list" as they are registered members of the Joomla site

Unknown attribute: max_message_size
by Thor Atle Rustad June 27, 2018

June 27, 2018

If I make changes here: https://example.com/postorius/lists/test2.example.com/settings/message_acce…, I get a warning that the Maximum Message Size field at the bottom is mandatory. However, if I put a number in that field and save, I get "Unknown attribute: max_message_size". That makes sense, since Mark states in https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message… that max_messages_size is not exposed in REST. What to do? I have Maxking mailman-docker but can easily copy files into the image if necessary. Thor

List admin statistics

Hi, On my Mailman3 installation the posting statistic doesn't seem to be getting reset, the digest stat is showing correctly however. Not sure about the volume stat. I imported my list from a Mailman2 pck file and the last posting data is the last message that went via Mailman2. Any ideas? Thanks. Andrew.

Gmail/Fetchmail in Mailman3?
by Bill Christensen June 24, 2018

June 24, 2018

Hi folks, We're (finally) in the early stages of upgrading from Mailman2 to Mailman3. Our Mailman2 setup uses Fetchmail to retrieve list mail from our accounts on Gmail. Is there a similar setup for Mailman3? I admit that I've only done a light scan of the docs so far, but haven't found anything addressing such a scenario.

Avoiding reply to list when User does "Reply To All"
by Asaf Ohayon June 19, 2018

June 19, 2018

hello I've played with explicit reply-to address, and "Reply goes to list" -> "Explicit Reply-to headers set", And it works fine when user does "Reply" in the client (e.g: gmail), But when she presses Reply To All, still it sends also to the list, Is there some way to avoid this ?

Functionailty of web host domains
by Johannes Winter June 16, 2018

June 16, 2018

Hello everybody, I'd actually like to use mailman3 in a multi-site setup, so that lists are only accessible from corresponding domains. I already asked once oif this would be possible with domain admins, but that is not implemented: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… Then i was asking myself whether it could be possible with the "wed host" functionality. For each domain you can specify a "web host". But when I specify a different one than the default for one domain, and make it accessible with specifying `DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS`, all mailinglists from the other web hosts are also shown when I access the second site. So does this 'web host' option have a meaning, or is it just an alias for the first site? Best regards, Johannes Winter

Disable like button
by Marvin Gülker June 13, 2018

June 13, 2018

Hi everyone, is it possible to disable the facebookish like/dislike thumbs buttons on posts in Hyperkitty? I have the impression that this kind of functionality discourages useful, argumentative discussion and instead causes emotional voting without arguments on whatever is at hand (it is one of the features I would really like to disable on GitHub as well). A voting facility on its own is surely fine, but it shouldn't be on each post, but only where one actually wants to cast a vote. Also, one isn't informed of the thumbs up/thumbs down count when only using the email interface and not Hyperkitty. This can lead to confusion for users that only use Hyperkitty and feel their "votes" are being ignored. Marvin -- Blog: https://mg.guelker.eu PGP/GPG ID: F1D8799FBCC8BC4F

Scheduled tasks
by Darren Smith June 8, 2018

June 8, 2018

All, I am looking more through the documentation of the Mailman Suite here: https://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/gnu-mailman/latest/gnu-mailman.pdf In section 3.2.5 it talks about the scheduled tasks that need to be run to do "specific routine functions" in hyperkitty. I installed through the easy install script found here: https://github.com/iomarmochtar/mailman3_ei/ However, I can't find anything in THAT documentation that talks about these cron jobs, and in fact the Mailman Suite isn't installed through that script. Can someone point me to any other documentation about the tasks that need to be run on a continual basis? Our hyperkitty installation seems to be bogging down more and more, and I am hoping that it will be as simple as just running some jobs that haven't been on our radar. Thoughts? -Darren

Re: GDPR - save subscriptions confirmation emails

Thanks Selva for you answer. In my Mailman 3 installation there is no /var/log/mailman/subscribe I have logs about confirmations emails in mailman/var/logs/smtp.log the format is the following: Jun 03 13:45:27 2018 (20764) ('127.0.0.1', 40145) handling connection Jun 03 13:45:27 2018 (20764) ('127.0.0.1', 40145) Data: b'LHLO mails.example.com' Jun 03 13:45:27 2018 (20764) ('127.0.0.1', 40145) Data: b'MAIL FROM:<contact(a)maadix.net>' Jun 03 13:45:27 2018 (20764) ('127.0.0.1', 40145) sender: contact(a)example.net Jun 03 13:45:27 2018 (20764) ('127.0.0.1', 40145) Data: b'RCPT TO:<prueba-confirm+7c010b0d89513b26d72cb4642e80447a2280ac86(a)list.example.org>' Jun 03 13:45:27 2018 (20764) ('127.0.0.1', 40145) recip: prueba-confirm+7c010b0d89513b26d72cb4642e80447a2280ac86(a)list.example.org Jun 03 13:45:27 2018 (20764) ('127.0.0.1', 40145) Data: b'DATA' Jun 03 13:45:27 2018 (20764) ('127.0.0.1', 40145) Data: b'QUIT' So, one solution that comes to my mind is to grep this log file. This is not a perfect solution and the full confirmation email is still missing. I am not sure if this would be GDPR compliant.

Urgent help needed...
by Darren Smith May 24, 2018

May 24, 2018

Hello, This morning our Mailman 3/Hyperkitty/Postorius installation has become unresponsive. When looking at the machine, postgres is pegging all 4 CPUs on the machine. We did some digging in postgres, and here is the query that is causing problems: "SELECT hyperkitty_email.date FROM hyperkitty_email WHERE hyperkitty_email.mailinglist_id = 'fooey(a)rootsweb.com' ORDER BY hyperkitty_email.date ASC LIMIT 1;" We have found that it doesn't matter what mailinglist_id is being used. We have also found that this might be an issue with the LIMIT 1 - our investigation is showing that using LIMIT 1 in postgres makes things execute very differently than if you use a limit 2 or more, and that this is probably what is going on. Basically, every time this gets called, it pegs an entire CPU for 20-30 seconds. It appears to be called a LOT. So our users are getting 504 gateway timeouts right now. What has changed: We have been in the process of importing our 40 million archived emails from our old mailman 2 archives. Questions: 1) We have tried doing a grep in the codebase - mailman3, hyperkitty, postorius, django - basically anything that might be calling this code, but we can't find it. Does anyone know what generates this query? 2) We are positing that it might be our archive imports that are causing this problem. Does anyone know of any sort of limit/threshold that might cause this to go haywire? Any help you can give, any direction you can point us would be useful. Right now our lists are just down for our users. Thank you, Darren

Is it possible to use an authenticator with incorrect, missing, or changing email addresses?
by andrew＠fsf.org May 24, 2018

May 24, 2018

Hello Mailman 3 users list, I was wondering if it's possible to set up a CAS authenticator with django-allauth ( https://pypi.org/project/django-allauth-cas/ ) even if we cannot guarantee the correctness of email addresses supplied by our CAS instance? Some contacts may also be missing an email address. I read about this here, and it seems like it wouldn't be possible: http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-web.html#configure-social-login > To see a list of all the providers, please have a look at the documentation of django-allauth. Make sure that the one you choose provides “email” as part of user data, otherwise it won’t work with Mailman. e.g. Twitter doesn’t give out emails. What if a user's email address changes on the CAS server? Will their email address in Mailman 3 be updated the next time they log in? Thanks, Andrew

What implications do GDPR have on Mailman, and how to requiring members to accept registration
by Henrik Rasmussen May 23, 2018

May 23, 2018

In regards to GDPR*) I am wondering if there is any ways I can require my current and future subscribers, members and list administrators to accept registration. I am also concerned that new lists are created with a subscription policy "Confirm" as default, rather than at least "Moderate", which can cause people to be subscribed by others against there will. Also, regardless of this setting, administrators can subscribe people without their knowledge. Away from Gravatar, mentioned in another post, what implications do GDPR have on Mailman? *) http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?qid=1510481733260&uri=CELEX%… Henrik Rasmussen

No archived messages in hyperkitty
by Eric Abrahamsen May 12, 2018

May 12, 2018

I've got mailman3 up on Ubuntu 16.04, in a virtualenv, and (eventually) got everything working mostly okay. My last hurdle is archiving into hyperkitty: the web interface says "no archived list yet". The list I'm starting with is set to archive both to prototype (which I set up in the beginning, before I got hyperkitty going) and to hyperkitty. There appear to be no further boxes I can check, and mailman_hyperkitty.cfg is in place and I think correct. I think it's nearly working because new messages get filed to ./var/archives/hyperkitty/spool, in individual *.pck files, but then these files don't go anywhere, and the archives don't appear in the web view. It could be a problem with cronjobs, with qrunner, or maybe there's just one last hidden switch in a database somewhere that I haven't thrown. But I can't find anything. Any hints? TIA, Eric

List enumeration problem

On our mailman instance we see the following enumeration of ALL lists and ALL users consistently every 7.5 minutes. Does anyone know why this would be the case?

Subscribe only to one thread
by Ivan Perez May 8, 2018

May 8, 2018

Dear Mailman users, There are many high-traffic mailing lists in which I would only be interested in receiving messages in specific threads (not all messages, nor some topics, nor a daily digest). Is there a way of "subscribing" to individual threads only, mainly those I initiate, or I actively participate in, but generally not receiving any emails from the list? If not, would others find this useful, and could it be implemented? (I understand that everyone wants features; I just don't know if it's a 2-hour patch or a 2-month project). Best wishes Ivan

Mailman, Supervisor, and keeping things running
by Darren Smith May 7, 2018

May 7, 2018

Hello, Previously I had a problem when upgrading to the newest versions of the mailman modules - and it turns out that everything requires Python 3 or higher. That was fine - I spent some time today moving everything from a Python 2.7 virtual environment to a Python 3.6 virtual environment. What no longer works is Supervisor... The mailman easy install script from Omar Mochtar set up a webui service that runs wsgi and nginx and keeps them running. However...supervisor won't run on python 3.6. I'm not seeing a way to make that work. I've read that you can shim it in, but that it isn't recommended to be used in a production environment. I've looked into circus, and I'm not familiar with it. I'm wondering if anyone has any examples of setting up a service that keeps processes up and running? I've seen circus, but I'm wondering if anyone has an example of how to set it up, or another service that does the same thing? -Darren

Could Mailman3 act like a private forum?
by andrew＠fsf.org May 6, 2018

May 6, 2018

Hello Mailman3 users and maintainers, I'm wondering whether it would be possible for Mailman3 to act like a private forum. I know that Mailman3 has private lists and may allow for custom authenticators. However making some lists private seems to be different than making all list signups and archives public to those who are able to log in, but hidden from all users who cannot. Would Mailman3 be able to act like a forum that hides or shows lists based on whether someone is logged in? Thanks, Andrew

django-mailman3 update causing errors
by Darren Smith May 2, 2018

May 2, 2018

Hello, In attempting to update our mailman3/postorius/hyperkitty installation, I have run into an error after upgrading the django-mailman3 project. Our webui is being run through supervisord. The command being run is this: /<path>/mailman3/conda/envs/mailman3_ext/bin/waitress-serve --listen=localhost:8787 webui.wsgi:application The error I'm getting is pretty long, but most of it appears to be usage instructions. Here are what I believe to be the pertinent parts: Error: Bad module 'webui.wsgi' Usage: waitress-serve [OPTS] MODULE:OBJECT <lots and lots of usage instructions> There was an exception (ImportError) importing your module. It had these arguments: 1. No module named error Any thoughts on why updating django-mailman3 would cause this? Thanks! -Darren

Hyperkitty Archives Empty
by jon.kokko＠us.fujitsu.com May 2, 2018

May 2, 2018

I've installed the mailman bundle located here (https://github.com/iomarmochtar/mailman3_ei) and, minus a pip package or two, it was straightforward. Mail & list functionality appears to be working well but I have no archives/thread discussions after posting messages. Delivery, etc.. is all good. Can you offer some suggestions on how to debug the archiving piece? Thanks, ./JK

Rejecting held emails
by Darren Smith April 26, 2018

April 26, 2018

Hello, We recently had a phishing message make it through our spam filters and arrive at a mailing list. The good news is that since it was not from a list member it was in the held message queue. I was able to find the message in the var/messages directory by searching for a keyword in the subject. However, after rejecting the message from Postorius, the message doesn't seem to be removed from the var/messages directory. Is this expected behavior? I know that infosec people won't be too happy about a phishing email sitting around on our disk. (Infosec guys are notoriously paranoid. :) ) Is there some sort of cleanup process that would remove these messages? If not, does this pose an issue where over time disk usage will creep up? This could be a pretty significant problem if that is the case. What do you think, sirs? -Darren

Disabling Gravatar
by Marvin Gülker April 26, 2018

April 26, 2018

Hi everyone, I want to make you aware of a potential privacy problem in Mailman's Hyperkitty. Under the upcoming EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)[1], which will be in force as of 2018-05-25, it is illegal to transmit data to third parties without a right to do so. Without going into the details, the inclusion of third party services into one's website is usually deemed such a transmission, and unless one has explicit consent of the user (e.g., by an optional (!), unticked ticking box) this is normally illegal (if one targets EU users). The GDPR does not affect private and family use (Art. 2(2)(c) GDPR), but the exact reach of that clause is yet to be determined; it certainly does not exclude company use of Mailman. I've found it's possible to disable the social login providers quite easily (we had this discussion here on the mailinglist recently), but I don't see an option to disable Gravatar. If there is one, please enlighten me, but anyway I want to propose this as a feature request against Hyperkitty. A GDPR-compliant implementation of Gravatar in Mailman would look like this: * In order to not transmit website visitor's data (IP address, browser info, etc) to Gravatar, Hyperkitty has to request the avatar image itself and not leave that to the user's browsers to do. In other words, the HTTP GET request needs to come from the server running Hyperkitty and the user's browser then just requests the avatar from the Hyperkitty server. Most likely easiest way to do this is to pre-download the avatar when an email is archived. * In order to not transmit the subscribers' data (email address, allows Gravatar to track the subscriber) to Gravatar illegally, the retrieval of the avatar image from Gravatar has to be disabled by default. Instead, an option needs to be added to the subscriber's control panel which he has to actively enable in order to have his Gravatar downloaded and thus used (privacy-by-default rule). I'm not saying Gravatar tracks people and sells the information gathered, though I have doubts on how Automattic makes money with the service. I'm just outlining the legal duties under the upcoming GDPR for service owners, which are independant of how Automattic processes the data in this specific case. Please don't dismiss this as some side feature not needed. The fines that can be imposed on service owners due to violation of the GDPR are very high (up to 20,000,000 € [that's 20 million euros, really]).

Mailman not able to process "big" requests
by Jonas Felber April 24, 2018

April 24, 2018

Hi, We migrated from mailman2 to mailman3 a week ago. Since then we are unable to send messages the our students through the mailing list. Here are some symptoms: 1. I go to mass subscribe and subscribe 400 emails 2. I click subscribe, the browser (in my case safari) tries to load the page for a few seconds 3. The request times out 4. Once the service becomes responsible again, I see that only part of my emails got subscribed (~50 in this case). For me this really looks like the emails are sent on the "web-thread" that gets killed once the request times out. Looking at this https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/blob/master/src/postorius/views/list.p… <https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/blob/master/src/postorius/views/list.p…> seems to confirm my suspicions. Some quick overview of our infrastructure: The TCP endpoints are: browser -> haproxy in kubernetes-entry-router -> nginx in kubernetes-ingress -> nginx in mailman -> mailman We mitigated the issue by giving it more CPU power and increasing the timeouts in one of the nginx endpoints. We also have a problem with sending out emails to "large" (>50) groups, as they seem to not getting sent out at all. Do you have any idea what the problem here could be? We would be really glad if you can help us getting our mailman up and running, as I currently have to send emails out by "hand". I will happily provide you with more details about our configuration, just let me know what you need.

Outgoing messages fro Mailman fails DMARC
by Henrik Rasmussen April 19, 2018

April 19, 2018

I have set up Postfix to DKIM sign outgoing mails from GNU Mailman 3.2.0a1 which validates nicely ("dkim=pass (signature was verified)"), but DMARC fails ("dmarc=fail action=none") on the recipient end, probably because the "header.from=gmail.com;" (or similar) which means that DKIM d= will not match. According to dmarc.org*) "Mailing lists usually do not take authorship of the emails they relay" so I should "consider to apply specific rules for emails coming from mailing lists". Also according to dmarc.org*) Mailman (Mailman 2 that is, and I presume Mailman 3 does too) "include features to interoperate with DMARC senders". I assume that the dmarc mitigations list settings in Mailman is for incoming messages, but how do I set Mailman to cope with this on outgoing messages? Note: I have more than one list domain in Mailman 3. *) https://dmarc.org/wiki/FAQ#Is_there_special_handling_required_to_receive_DM… /Henrik

Upgrade
by Darren Smith April 16, 2018

April 16, 2018

Hello all, I'm working on upgrading our mailman3 instance. The current running instance is 3.1.0, and I am attempting to move to 3.2.0a1. Partially because La Villa Strangiato is a better song than Between the Wheels, but mostly because we want some of the bug fixes, and we are nailing down our upgrade process for the future. Initially after updating when I ran the "mailman info" command, I got this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman3/conda/bin/mailman", line 7, in <module> from mailman.bin.mailman import main File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/bin/mailman.py", line 19, in <module> import click ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'click' So I went and installed click - easy enough to do.

Starting from scratch
by Benjamin Ragheb April 12, 2018

April 12, 2018

Hello! Over the weekend, I attempted to install the Mailman Suite on Debian Stretch. My goal is to set up some low volume mailing lists for family and friends. I ran into some problems, and I'm hoping to get some feedback on my overall approach before I make my second attempt. :-) I figured the safest thing to do would be to use pip to install the latest released version of all the components (core, postorius, hyperkitty, etc.). I copied the files from the [mailman-suite repository][1] to set up a Django project and got it mostly working with Apache and mod_wsgi. [1]: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-suite Unfortunately, I was unable to log into the web interface; when I tried, I got a server error like this: > Exception Type: TypeError at /accounts/login/ > Exception Value: authenticate() takes exactly 0 arguments (3 given) Some research leads me to believe this is happening because authenticate() was changed in Django 1.10, and so I must be using a newer version of Django than the app expects. Given that I installed via Pip, I assumed the right version of Django would automatically be installed... I'm open to the possibility that I am misunderstanding how Pip works, or that postorius's and/or hyperkitty's dependency information is incorrect. The two alternatives I am weighing right now are: 1. Stay the course, and see if I can fix this by learning more about Python, Pip, Django and tinkering with the configuration. 2. Ride the bleeding edge, and install postorius and hyperkitty from git. (I'll probably stick with Mailman Core from Pip, since that seemed to work just fine.) Right now I'm leaning toward #2, because it means I'll be in a better position to patch things if I need to, and it seems like Mailman 3 is still rough enough that I will need to. Also, it looks like the master branches of both postorius and hyperkitty are now Python 3 compatible, which could save me from managing two different versions of Python. Which is the least crazy option? -- Ben

Log rotation
by Darren Smith April 11, 2018

April 11, 2018

Hey everyone, So I have a question about log rotation... Our mailman.log has grown to over 5 gigs. It's time to add this to log rotation. We added what we thought might work to the /etc/logrotate.d/mailman script, but when we ran it with a -f, we learned that the -f flag doesn't keep old logs. That in itself is fine - a normal scheduled log rotation won't have that problem. My problem is that doing the rotation caused the mailman not to be able to write to the log anymore. It appears that it no longer has a handle to the file. To overcome this with, say, nginx, there is a command in logrotate that you can add that restarts the service. I have found, however, that restarting the mailman service can be VERY problematic. There is so much going on that it takes a very long time to stop, and I have seen several instances where the service never shuts down cleanly - even after 3-4 minutes. The service thinks it is shut down, but there are several threads that haven't yet completed. If they are killed, then you have to go clean up the master.lck files etc. It seems like a bad way of doing things and a good way to somehow corrupt data. Anyway - after rambling... 1) Has anyone come up with a good log rotation strategy that doesn't necessitate a restart of the service? 2) Has anyone seen problems stopping and restarting the service? Is there a way to help with this problem? Thanks, Darren

update_index
by Darren Smith April 3, 2018

April 3, 2018

Hello, If I'm reading the docs correctly, when we run manage.py update_index, it should be an incremental index of new emails that have been added since the last time update_index was run - can anyone confirm that this is the expected behavior? Or is there another command line option that I am missing? Right now we are indexing EVERYTHING every time that this is run. Probably this wouldn't be much of a problem except that we are importing all of our old archives (they go back to 1998 and comprise over 40.5 million emails) into the new system. As of now we have around 700,000 emails imported into hyperkitty, and since it is indexing everything it is taking around 1 hour and 10 minutes. Obviously we can't run that once a minute. Right now we're doing once a day, meaning that new emails won't be indexed until the next day. Fast forward to when we have all 40 million imported...the full index process will take (we estimate) around 4 days or so. So...can anyone help with how to get the update_index to do only emails added since the last time the update_index was run? Thanks! Darren

Mailman 3 with AWS auto scaling and potentially load balancing
by Chris McMacken March 30, 2018

March 30, 2018

After doing a lot of googling I can't seem to find solid answers to a couple of basic mailman hosting questions so I thought I would ask here. I'm looking to build an auto scaling group so that my mailman services can self heal if the EC2 instance goes away. What state if any is stored locally on the filesystem that would need to be backed up and restored when an instance is replaced? I'm also interested in a high availability deployment so I would like to do some basic load balancing to ensure that this requirement is met but I haven't been able to find much on this topic for mailman 3. Can someone point me in the direction of a write up on this problem or comment on it?

Templates and docker-mailman
by jwhathaway＠locklaw.com March 20, 2018

March 20, 2018

I have mailman installed through docker-mailman and I'm trying to get rid of the footer decoration in our messages. Based on earlier threads, I have placed an empty file on the host running Docker at: /opt/mailman/core/var/templates/site/en/list:member:generic:footer But this is not being honored by the mailman container. I have restarted all of the containers. Is there something else I need to do?

Getting rid of held messages from the command line
by Aymeric Mansoux March 17, 2018

March 17, 2018

Hello, We're currently running some of Mailman software, as available via pip, namely: - mailman 3.1.1 (pip3) - postorius 1.1.2 (pip2) - hyperkitty 1.1.4 (pip2) - mailmanclient 3.1.1 (pip3) So far so good, however, for some reasons, a couple of our lists have started to accumulate held messages that cannot be manipulated via the REST API.

Internal Server Error: /hyperkitty/api/mailman/archive: ValueError: A string literal cannot contain NUL (0x00) characters.
by Henrik Rasmussen March 14, 2018

March 14, 2018

This could potentially be associated with [1] and [2], but it does not regard import21. When mails are released or otherwise archived I get an Internal Server Error regarding "ValueError: A string literal cannot contain NUL (0x00) characters." in the web/mailmanweb.log, but unlike importing corrupted archives, this is mails coming from the users in the daily life. Would it be possible for Mailman to check for NUL characters and skip those before archiving?

Database running VERY hot
by Darren Smith March 12, 2018

March 12, 2018

Hello all, We had an old installation of Mailman 2.1 across three servers with over 32,000 mailing lists on them. Due to circumstances beyond my control, we had to shut them down and quickly set up Mailman 3 on a new server. We have Mailman3 set up on a single server this time, as we were having problems with a 3-server setup and Hyperkitty and archives. Long story short, it is up and running, and our users are starting to come back. However, we do not have very many users hitting Postorius and Hyperkitty yet, and we are seeing a distressing number of 504 gateway timeouts. We noticed that there is a significant number of queries to the API whenever hitting Postorius's front page to load the mailing lists, and then on every load. It looks as if it makes a single call to the API to get information about a single list, and does this 10 times - once for each list - to render the page. This gets much worse when users set the view to 200 per page, as they are inclined to do with 32,000 mailing lists... What we've done, actually, is to override the front page and point the users to a different set of static pages where we have all of our lists categorized and searchable, and when they find the list they are looking for, we have a link back to postorius. It has taken a lot of the stress off of the server. However, I still see where the database at times can run VERY hot. We have set up this server to run with PostgreSQL. When I do a ps aux | grep postgres, I find a lot of processes that have been spawned to take care of mailman - a dozen or so. However, one of the threads is taking up about 85% of the load, another thread about 14%, and little dribbles here and there from the rest of the threads. Here are the questions: 1) Has anyone run into problems like these? I would think that maybe this is an issue having so many mailing lists, but honestly there aren't that many people using the system yet. It is going to ramp up as the users realize that we are live again, but we aren't getting that much traffic. 2) Is there any configuration that I can set, especially with regards to the database, so that it can be used more efficiently and not throttle through one or two threads? Please let me know what further information I can provide. Thanks in advance for any help or advice! Silas

Deactivate list without deleting it?
by Colin Watson March 3, 2018

March 3, 2018

Hi, I'm experimenting with a port of Launchpad's mailing list infrastructure to Mailman 3. If Barry's reading, he may remember that this is no trivial task, so I'm very definitely not promising that it will be done any time soon. :-) However, for the most part it looks relatively tractable with the aid of the plugin improvements in Mailman 3.2.0; I have the rough outline of a plugin that implements much the same feature set as our current pile of monkey-patches against Mailman 2.1 in a much nicer way. One of the major things I haven't figured out yet is list deactivation and reactivation. In our current 2.1-based code, you can deactivate a list in a reversible way, which basically tars up the list directory so that the list archives can be restored later. This isn't a native operation in 2.1, but it could be done because everything lived on the filesystem. In 3, it's less trivial. We could go to some effort to dump things out of the HyperKitty database and restore it on reactivation, but that seems rather complex and a bit silly. Ideally, I'd like mailing lists to have a "deactivated" state in addition to full deletion. In this state, the list would appear nonexistent for most purposes: incoming email would be rejected, Postorius would deny its existence, etc. There'd need to be corresponding extensions to the IArchiver interface which caused the archiver to put its archives of that list into a corresponding deactivated state, in which it would retain the messages but queries for them would return 404 or similar; these extensions would need to be optional, since while it should be relatively easy to do this in HyperKitty it could be hard or impossible for other archivers, and perhaps this should be a separate operation from deactivating the list itself since people may want to close a list while leaving its archives accessible. Has there been any discussion of this in the past, or any advice as to implementation strategy? Thanks, -- Colin Watson [cjwatson(a)ubuntu.com]

How could I solve this issue please? TIA for any hints, -- Peter

Jan. 29, 2018

Hi, I would like to point "https://my-domain.org/" to the list of mailing-lists of this domain. How should I setup my Apache configuration and/or the urlpatterns please? With my actual configuration, the above URL is always rewritten to https://my-domain.org/postorius/lists/ These are my urlpatterns: urlpatterns = [ url(r'^$', RedirectView.as_view( url=reverse_lazy('list_index'), permanent=True)), url(r'^postorius/', include('postorius.urls')), url(r'^archive/', include('hyperkitty.urls')), url(r'', include('django_mailman3.urls')), url(r'^accounts/', include('allauth.urls')), url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)), ] TIA for any help, -- Peter

I'm happy to do that, but how do I migrate the data between the databases (after installing postgres and creating the database)? I've found this doc (http://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/database.html#data…) but I don't think I understand this and I haven't used alembic: these instructions are just for when you modify the model within the same database, right?

Solved issues not in Docker-mailman rolling releases
by Henrik Rasmussen Jan. 25, 2018

Jan. 25, 2018

I am currently using Docker-mailman rolling releases and with great respect to the maintainer's time it was my impression from @maxking that rolling releases was likely to be one week behind the development. In my report of https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/444 @msapiro commented that #444 is a duplicate of #406 (closed) which was fixed by !322 (merged), but !322 was merged a month ago. Thinking that I wasn't up to speed, I did a `docker pull quay.io/maxking/mailman-core:rolling` only got 'XXXXXXXXXXXX: Already exists'. Also `docker images` shows 'quay.io/maxking/mailman-core rolling 1654a3226db8 7 weeks ago 179.3 MB'. Not to be umpolite, did I misunderstand the concept?

Postorius: Show only own lists
by Thor Atle Rustad Jan. 23, 2018

Jan. 23, 2018

Imagine an installation with 500+ mailing lists and almost as many local admins that are supposed to maintain their own local lists with a few local members. As site admin, I see all 500+ lists, but I was expecting *local* admins to see only the lists they maintain. I have set all lists to "advertised = False", so they are hidden from ordinary view. Is there a way to show only relevant lists to local admins? I am running docker running release. mailman info GNU Mailman 3.2.0a1 (La Villa Strangiato) Thor Atle Rustad

mailing list aliases
by Dmitry Makovey Jan. 20, 2018

Jan. 20, 2018

I'm running mailman 3.3.0 and seeing odd behavior for "Settings/Message Acceptance/Acceptable aliases". Two things strike me as odd: 1. whenever I change content of that field interface keeps on wrapping it in more and more square brackets: [u'[u\'[u"[u\\\'foo(a)my.com\\\']"]\']'] whereas I've started with simple foo(a)my.com. I've checked with mailmanclient library and it seems like this is happening at the core level not just an interface: ml.settings['acceptable_aliases']=['foo(a)my.com'] ml.save() print ml.settings['acceptable_aliases'] am I using it wrong or is there a bug? 2. Related to #1 - we've migrated our mailing lists from foo(a)my.com to foo(a)lists.my.com however we've preserved old addresses. But in new setup mail sent in gets stopped for moderation with: "X-Mailman-Rule-Hits: implicit-dest" . What's the best course of action here to get mailing list respond to multiple email addresses? -- Sr System and DevOps Engineer SoM IRT

why am I seeing "Access to the archiving API endpoint was forbidden"
by Dmitry Makovey Jan. 19, 2018

Jan. 19, 2018

Running docker-based MM3 I get quite a few messages in mailmanweb.log: ERROR 2018-01-19 19:09:07,467 401 hyperkitty.views.mailman Access to the archiving API endpoint was forbidden from IP 172.19.199.1, your MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_FROM setting may be misconfigured which points to the docker host making those requests. But I have no scripts/code dunning on host to do that. I've posted to this list earlier (see "mailman-web: ResponseNotReady" and "Getting connection refused on postfix trying to connect to mailman-core:lmtp") my woes with public vs private IPs in my setup and my "hack" was to set up docker-compose with explicit domainname and hostname: mailman-core: domainname: my.com hostname: mailman ... networks: mailman: aliases: - mailman.my.com where mailman.my.com is the public IP of the service. so I think I'm in the weird state where mailman-core container starts off communication on a private docker IP and finishes it off on what it thinks is public someplace... not sure where is that coming from. I ran a cross-ping for all containers to confirm they all see only private IPs and they do: core, web & nginx cross-pinging each-other and mailman.my.com all show private docker IPs so why would any packet be routed from external? can I allow more than a single IP for MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_FROM ? ITMT I've moved MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_FROM to settings_local.py and hardwired it to be 172.199.19.1 and I believe there are no errors in log files... but again - that's a lot of tiptoeing and tapdancing around the IP assignment in docker so I'm looking for input to simplify the setup. -- Sr System and DevOps Engineer SoM IRT

MM3 & postfix ... (mail loops back to myself)
by Dmitry Makovey Jan. 18, 2018

Jan. 18, 2018

Hi, I've been running Postfix+MM3 setup for a while now. However it turns out one portion of functionality has been broken all this time: member subscription via "confirmation". Quick notes on setup: I've got 2 VMs: smtp.my.com mailman.my.com I'm running mailing lists under: lists.my.com DNS for lists.my.com A: - same as mailman.my.com MX: - smtp.my.com So when somebody sends a message to foo(a)lists.my.com they receive confirmation email (which is fine and normal). That mail suggests user needs to reply to foo-confirm+randomstuff(a)lists.my.com. Whenever user does that - postfix refuses to deliver *that* mail with reason: Action: failed Status: 5.4.6 Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; mail for lists.my.com loops back to myself I've got transport_maps = regexp:/opt/mailman/core/var/data/postfix_lmtp local_recipient_maps = regexp:/opt/mailman/core/var/data/postfix_lmtp relay_domains = regexp:/opt/mailman/core/var/data/postfix_domains and postfix_domains contains: /^lists\.my\.com$/ lists.my.com and postfix_lmtp contains: foo(a)lists\.my\.com$/ lmtp:[mailman.my.com]:8024 ... what am I missing? -- Sr System and DevOps Engineer SoM IRT

Django logins for new subscribers
by Alex McLean Jan. 13, 2018

Jan. 13, 2018

Hi all, I'm moving our groups to mailman3 (http://we.lurk.org) Enjoying it so far! I've mass-subscribed people via postorius. However the subscribers don't have django (postorius/hyperkitty) logins. It seems they only exist on the mailman side, not the django side. If they go through the process of creating an account in postorius, they can configure their mailing list subscriptions, but this is a bit fiddly. Is this expected behaviour? It would be great if they could be sent a temporary link to set a password and go. Best wishes, alex

hyperkitty connection issues
by Dmitry Makovey Jan. 11, 2018

Jan. 11, 2018

I'm using docker-based deployment of mailman. things appear to be functioning for the most part, but recently I've started getting reports from users stating that mail from *some* subscribers to the list gets queued for moderation with reason "n/a". Not sure if that's related, but I've also noticed that my logs are filling up with Connection to HyperKitty failed: ("Connection broken: ConnectionResetError(104, 'Connection reset by peer')", ConnectionResetError(104, 'Connection reset by peer')) (full dump: https://gist.github.com/droopy4096/1538d34ed7b6709252e8c3e82aaca69d ) what's the best angle to troubleshoot this situation? Note: I have restarted containers within the last 24 hours and still am observing above behavior (both mail issues and connection issues in logs) -- Sr System and DevOps Engineer SoM IRT

Hyperkitty import from mailman2
by Sten Aus Jan. 3, 2018

Jan. 3, 2018

Hi I have installed mailman3 - it looks very great! Now I wanted to try import from mailman2 mbox, so i did: python2 manage.py hyperkitty_import --settings settings --ignore-mtime -v 3 --since 2010-01-01 -l test(a)list.domain.com /tmp/test.mbox It shows that it have sucessfully imported all emails and I can see them from database (sqlite3), but I cannot see them from GUI (hyperkitty). Only thing I can see is this inactive "test" list. I have tried that I create list before importing, still same result. All new emails are archiving to another lists (which are not imported, but new installations). Any help is appreciated! All the best Sten

Postorius 1.1.2 security release
by Abhilash Raj Dec. 29, 2017

Dec. 29, 2017

Hi Everyone, I am pleased to announce that Postorius 1.1.2 is released and is up on PyPI[1]. This release fixes a security bug that sets the password of a user in Core to their display name. It is recommended that you upgrade to this version. Postorius (Django) and Mailman Core both have different notion of "user" and "password". When a user account in created in Postorius, it creates a user in Core using the REST API. This bug, causes the password of user created in Core to be set to their display name instead. However, as of now, there are no use cases of the user password in Core and it is present only for historical reasons. So, while this bug is a serious one, it wouldn't result in any real-world exploit. Along with the bug-fix, this release includes a new command that resets *all* user passwords in Core to a random value. Again, there are no use cases of these passwords so resetting *all* of them isn't going to cause any inconvenience to users. This command should be run after the upgrade: $ cd mailman-suite/mailman-suite_project/ $ python manage.py reset_passwords Python 2.7 is the only supported Python version for this release. All versions of Django <=1.11 is supported. For more information about GNU Mailman and Postorius, please see our website: http://list.org The source code is available on Gitlab: https://gitlab.com/mailman/ [1]: https://pypi.org/project/postorius -- thanks, Abhilash Raj

Schedule for a resolution of #406, #410 and #437
by Henrik Rasmussen Dec. 15, 2017

Dec. 15, 2017

I was wondering when #406<https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/406>, #410<https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/410> and #437<https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/437> could be fixed. It seems that it would not be far, as !322<https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/merge_requests/322> is ready to be merged. On another note, why doesn't mailman3.org seem to be affected by these problems, with so many members wide spread across the world, when I have at least three lists with only 1794, 646 and 317 members affected by it. -- Henrik Rasmussen <her(a)adm.ku.dk<mailto:her@adm.ku.dk>> University of Copenhagen, Danmark

help for new installation.
by claudio.jofre＠yandex.com Dec. 12, 2017

Dec. 12, 2017

Hello everyone. A few days ago, I am trying to install and configure mailman 3, in a Centos7. and the truth has not been achieved. I am already a little desperate. I'll tell you First I install the hyperkitty-el.repo repository and install mailman 3, hyperkitty and postorius. Initially when reviewing and making some minor modifications to the mailman configuration file, the service apparently rises without major problems. The problem occurs when I try to configure the web interfaces. Initially the apache server did not start, with a series of errors. Following the instructions of the document published here: http://www.admin-magazine.com/Archive/2015/29/Mailman-3.0-a-long-time-comin… I managed to eliminate the initial errors, which prevented to raise the Apache server. However, when trying to access the web pages, in the case of hyperkitty, I get an error 500 with an "internal server error". In the case of postorius, I get an error 403 forbidden. In the mail, I receive a log, with the following content: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/ usr / bin / django-admin", line 5, in <module> management.execute_from_command_line () File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 354, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute () File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 303, in execute settings.INSTALLED_APPS File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 48, in __getattr__ self._setup (name) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 44, in _setup self._wrapped = Settings (settings_module) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 92, in __init__ mod = importlib.import_module (self.SETTINGS_MODULE) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/importlib/__init__.py", line 37, in import_module __import __ (name) ImportError: No module named settings In the Apache logs, it also shows the following: [Mon Dec 11 21: 48: 41.875069 2017] [authz_core: error] [pid 15333] [client my-client-ip: 33584] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: / etc / postorius / sites / default / srv when I execute the command: django-admin check throws me the following: django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting DATABASES, but settings are not configured. You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings. checking the ports, I can see that python has open ports 8000 in 127.0.0.1, and 8001 in external ip, for more than I have looked for information, documentation, etc, about the procedure of the installation. all the documentation I found, part of the premise of an installation, clean from git, by pip, but none from the yum and rpm. So it is difficult for me to determine what to apply, and what not. apparently no one has installed, or has had problems in the installation from repositories, or I am omitting some step (most likely) that I could not determine. the bad thing, is that in postfix, I have everything configured, with digital signatures, so I would not like to lose all that work, as to start with an installation from 0. If you can help me, it would be very helpful. since I made the request of help in another list, of dev, to which it is supposed that the consultations should be made, according to the historical mails, but I never received answer. Of course, thank you very much for any help and guidance they can give me.

Re: Starting new thread in Postorius -> disappears
by Cameron Smith Dec. 12, 2017

Dec. 12, 2017

I would suggest that there is something very broken here: there seems to be a problem with communication between the email system (mailman core…?) and HyperKitty. On November 21, I sent the message below, as a part of this very thread, to Thor and cc’d the mailman 3 list. But the message never showed up in HyperKitty [1]. I don’t know if other list members received it in their email inboxes or not. Thor obviously received the message (it was addressed to him directly), because he referenced it in a message that is in the archives [1]. However, I never received an email copy of his message from the list. So, what’s going on? What baffles me is that more people are not complaining about this. Is it just that no one has noticed? Or is it some subtle misconfiguration in my system? And in Thor’s apparently. And maybe in the lists.mailman3.org system as well.

Postorius: Dropdown menus problem
by Thor Atle Rustad Dec. 5, 2017

Dec. 5, 2017

In my latest iteration I installed Maxking docker-mailman by downloading the files (git clone https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman.git) and building the images myself by modifying docker-compose.yaml like this: services: mailman-core: container_name: mailman-core build: context: ./core dockerfile: Dockerfile-alternate Same thing goes for mailman-web. Only modification was changing the uid/gid in the images to make it equal to the local user on the host. Now a few things are not working. In Postorius <server>/postorius/lists/<listname>) there is a menu row (Subscription requests|Held messages|Members|Settings|Mass operations|Banned addresses etc). The two items Members and Mass operations should normally show a drop-down menu when clicked, but here nothing happens. Same thing for the Admin menu (can't access Logout, amongst other things). In Hyperkitty, messages are not loaded properly. In various places on the page I see spinning discs indicating something is loading, but nothing happens. Any ideas? Thor

Setting up Admin Account
by Pierre Abbat Dec. 1, 2017

Dec. 1, 2017

So I installed a crontab for list and read about configuring the DB (I think I'll use SQLite). I got to http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-web.html . Because of the dollar sign, I assume that the commands are to be run as list. Here's what I did: root@lists:~# ls root@lists:~# sudo list sudo: list: command not found root@lists:~# su list This account is currently not available. root@lists:~# ls /var/list ls: cannot access '/var/list': No such file or directory root@lists:~# locate mailman-suite_project root@lists:~# mkdir /var/list root@lists:~# chown list.list /var/list root@lists:~# su list This account is currently not available. root@lists:~# man su root@lists:~# su -s /bin/bash list list@lists:/root$ cd list@lists:~$ cd mailman-suite_project bash: cd: mailman-suite_project: No such file or directory list@lists:~$ mkdir mailman-suite_project list@lists:~$ cd mailman-suite_project list@lists:~/mailman-suite_project$ python manage.py createsuperuser python: can't open file 'manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory list@lists:~/mailman-suite_project$ locate manage.py /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/conf/project_template/manage.py /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/conf/project_template/manage.pyc /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/example_project/manage.py /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/example_project/manage.pyc /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/falcon/bench/dj/manage.py Which manage.py should I use?

Where are the subject templates hidden?
by Thor Atle Rustad Nov. 29, 2017

Nov. 29, 2017

Using Docker. Suppose I've overcome https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/359 and I can make Mailman use the templates/site/no directory for my customized templates. Yes, it seems to be working, no hickups when national characters are used in the templates. but... the welcome message still says "Welcome to the "listname" mailing list" in English. Is it possible to change that?
