Postfix and Rspamd reject all Mailman messages after upgrading to Mailcow 2025-09b
by Jesper Holck Sept. 16, 2025

Sept. 16, 2025

Thanks for looking into this. I'm sorry to admit that I unfortunately mixed up two apparently unrelated issues. The first of these was some problem, where my mailman-installation was unable to send mails to some subscribers. The mails were rejected with SPOOFED_UNAUTH messages - I will not deal with this here. My installation is based on Debian 12 (Bookworm), with dockerized versions of Mailcow and Mailman 3 as described here: https://docs.mailcow.email/third_party/mailman3/third_party-mailman3/ The server is a VM, running on Proxmox. Mailcow and Mailman are on the same VM. It took a little time for me to setup things correctly, but mostly it seemed to work nicely. But a week ago it stopped working - I guess because I upgraded Mailcow to 2025-09b. The problem for me right now is that Rspamd rejects all messages, coming from Mailman. Postfix receives mails coming to the mailing lists, but when Mailman tries to forward the mails to the subscribers, Postfix/Rspamd block all of them. Postfix/Rspamd also block mails sent directly from Mailman, such as Welcome-messages - see an example below. In Mailcow, I have under "Options" added 172.19.199.1/24 as a "Forwarding Host" with no spam filter. I hoped this would make Rspamd happy, but apparently not. All messages, sent directly from Mailcow, pass various on-line tests of SSL, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, and are accepted by other servers (Gmail, Hotmail etc.). All web-interfaces to Mailcow and Mailman work fine. Messages to the various lists are archived, but not sent to the subscribers. Any help appreciated :-) Jesper Example of rspamd rejecting a welcome message from Mailman: HFILTER_HOSTNAME_UNKNOWN (8.5) DMARC_POLICY_QUARANTINE (8) [mydomain.dk : No valid SPF, No valid DKIM, quarantine] R_SPF_FAIL (8) [-all] HFILTER_HELO_BADIP (4.5) [172.19.199.4, 1] VIOLATED_DIRECT_SPF (3.5) FORGED_W_BAD_POLICY (3) RDNS_NONE (2) SUBJ_EXCESS_QP (1.2) MIME_BASE64_TEXT_BOGUS (1) MID_RHS_NOT_FQDN (0.5) MIME_BASE64_TEXT (0.1) RBL_SENDERSCORE_REPUT_9 (-1) [172.19.199.1:from] MAILLIST (-0.2) [mailman] MIME_GOOD (-0.1) [text/plain] HAS_LIST_UNSUB (-0.01) BAYES_HAM (-0.005474) [42.14%] BCC (0) FORGED_SENDER_MAILLIST (0) ARC_SIGNED (0) [mydomain.dk:s=dkim:i=1] TO_DOM_EQ_FROM_DOM (0) FORGED_SENDER (0) [mylist-request(a)mydomain.dk, mylist-bounces(a)mydomain.dk] RCPT_COUNT_ONE (0) [1] FROM_NEQ_ENVFROM (0) [mylist-request(a)mydomain.dk, mylist-bounces(a)mydomain.dk] MISSING_XM_UA (0) R_DKIM_NA (0) FROM_NO_DN (0) ARC_NA (0) TO_DN_ALL (0) RCVD_COUNT_ZERO (0) [0] TO_MATCH_ENVRCPT_ALL (0) MIME_TRACE (0) [0:+] PRECEDENCE_BULK (0) I don't know how to see the exact contains, including headers, of this message, unfortunately.

We also need to know more about the configuration of your network (including VMs and containers), and where you're sending mail from. If you are going to substitute IP addresses, I recommend you do that consistently, and with a convention that it makes is easy to identify the public Internet (I use 10/8 addresses for this), your internal network (I use 172.16/12), and the Mailman host(s) (I use 192.168/16 addresses -- these are all just suggestions, and I've never had a problem ignoring the effect of netmasks on routing).[1] I'm going to reorder the list for clarity. > HFILTER_HOSTNAME_UNKNOWN (8.5) > HFILTER_HELO_BADIP (4.5) [172.19.199.3, 1] > RDNS_NONE (2) I guess "HFILTER" refers to the HELO command sent by Mailman to mailcow. "host 172.19.199.3" is a private IP address, so I suspect you are using Docker with multiple containers (different hosts as far as the mail software is concerned). I suspect you need to set up or reconfigure an internal DNS, or configure some kind of host list in Mailcow, to clear this. IIRC rspamd defaults to "reject on >= 15" so if RDNS is part of this group (I'm just guessing), this message is already rejected. > DMARC_POLICY_QUARANTINE (8) [mydomain.dk : No valid SPF, quarantine] Apparently you have p=quarantine for mydomain.dk. Mail from mydomain.dk will need to have DMARC mitigation of some kind. > R_SPF_FAIL (8) [-all] > R_DKIM_REJECT (8) [anotherdomain.dk:s=selector1] I'd say these are normal, except that between them "reject > 15" is going to reject your message. I would guess that's an rspamd misconfiguration. Also, nothing in your description explains why anotherdomain.dk is signing the message. Is that your personal email provider where you send test messages? > VIOLATED_DIRECT_SPF (3.5) > FORGED_W_BAD_POLICY (3) Not sure what these mean, but the numbers are too big to ignore. Perhaps they'll be fixed in passing if you fix the issues above. > HTML_SHORT_LINK_IMG_1 (2) You can't do much about this, but if your posters are using short links you might see if you can adjust that deduction down in rspamd.

Sept. 14, 2025

Hi folks, we're running a decent-sized MM3 server backed by a Postgres database server that is also used by a number of other applications. It's currently running Postgres 13, and we are looking at upgrading to 16. Can anyone tell me what the implications of such an upgrade be in the context of Mailman3? Any gotchas? Thanks, -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Issues sending to gmail and yahoo e-mails

Sept. 12, 2025

Has anyone experienced recent issues with Mailman3 not being able to send to gmail and yahoo e-mail addresses. I am trying to figure out if Google has our server blocked or not. When I send a manual e-mail from the server, the my yahoo e-mail gets delivered, but the gmail one does not. Here is the message I get in the logs when trying to send to the gmail address from the command line, but I do not get anything when it tries to send from Mailman. 2025-09-09T18:57:09.344493-05:00 lstprdls01 postfix/smtp[3544622]: BE67F1C09AF: to=<jmjk(a)gmail.com>, relay=gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[173.194.194.26]:25, delay=0.55, delays=0.01/0/0.27/0.27, dsn=5.7.26, status=bounced (host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[173.194.194.26] said: 550-5.7.26 Your email has been blocked because the sender is unauthenticated. 550-5.7.26 Gmail requires all senders to authenticate with either SPF or DKIM. 550-5.7.26 550-5.7.26 Authentication results: 550-5.7.26 DKIM = did not pass 550-5.7.26 SPF [lstprdls01.xxx.xxx.edu] with ip: [xxx.xxx.10.33] = did not pass 550-5.7.26 550-5.7.26 For instructions on setting up authentication, go to 550 5.7.26 https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126#authentication 8926c6da1cb9f-50d8f268ab7si36484097173.142 - gsmtp (in reply to end of DATA command)) I added DMARC mitigation to this list with "Replace From: with list address" and "DMARC Mitigate unconditinally - Yes" The DMARC Address I have in there is ^.*(a)gmail\.com$ Do I have to do anything else? Restart any services or anything?

Hyperkitty Text/Markdown/HTML
by Sam Darwin Sept. 11, 2025

Sept. 11, 2025

How about a feature to include "HTML" in the current Hyperkitty choices of (Text or Markdown) rendering? A sanitizer must be used to prevent malicious attacks. https://github.com/messense/nh3 . lxml is another package that processes html. A sanitizer would be helpful for more aspects. Permit a limited set of markdown so that messages still appear professional. Gitlab/Github don't allow arbitrary fonts or font sizes, right? Mostly remove these tags. A way that code blocks could be presented: determine an established list of known codeblock styles. Configure the sanitizer to permit this range of fonts or styling elements. By allowing them through the filter, a code styling is rendered. (It is permitted/allowed to be rendered.) Even better, when the sanitizer recognizes the fonts, it replaces them with an "official" set of codeblock fonts. Otherwise, if other font tags are entirely removed, if they are missing, the email client or web ui will decide the font selection, and it will appear "standard". In order for both email clients and Hyperkitty to view the same result, the sanitizer should ideally be applied to outgoing emails as well as rendering in the UI. That means this feature would affect more than just Hyperkitty. (i.e. mailman-core). Although, that could be implemented as a separate step, until which time emails would get a full range of HTML, without sanitizing. In this scheme, ensure outgoing emails are multi-part MIME with plain text and html versions. Some of our users are really in favor of more formatting. Others prefer plain text. Those who prefer plain text have various arguments that HTML messages will be rendered badly, and won't be legible. Questions: 1. Would "multi-part MIME with plain text and html versions both" solve the problem for users who prefer plain text? 2. What percentage of email clients that support HTML formatting when sending will also include a plain text rendering of the same content in the outgoing message? 3. Is it usually the responsibility of a receiving mail client to be able to convert HTML to plain text if the user requests it? 4. When mailman-core receives and then sends out a message, can it receive HTML, generate a plain-text version, and then send both? Thoughts?

After moving to a another server, mail footer shows only text "Cache content lost". I moved the two databases (mailman3, mailmanweb) to another server, but now my Mailinglist shows this in the footer, uh, what did I forget to move?

In case you need this, I do. Of course, the shown preferences need to be adapted according to your needs. def reset_bounce_scores(): # reset bounce scores and setting certain standard member preferences to all members in all mailinglists # 20250910 from zope.component import getUtility from mailman.interfaces.listmanager import IListManager from mailman.interfaces.member import DeliveryMode, DeliveryStatus RED = "\033[31m\033[1m" X = "\033[0m" hide_address = False delivery_status = DeliveryStatus.enabled lm = getUtility(IListManager) for mlist in lm.mailing_lists: # print(f"... checking bounce status and setting standard preferences of members in {mlist.fqdn_listname}") print(f"... resetting bounce status of members in {mlist.fqdn_listname}") for member in mlist.members.members: prefs = member.preferences prefs.acknowledge_posts = True prefs.hide_address = hide_address # prefs.preferred_language = 'de' prefs.receive_list_copy = True prefs.receive_own_postings = True prefs.delivery_mode = DeliveryMode.regular prefs.delivery_status = delivery_status bs = member.bounce_score if bs > 0: print(f"reset bounce score of: {member.address.email} {mlist.fqdn_listname} {RED}{bs}{X}") member.bounce_score = 0
