how to migrate mailing lists to a new domain using mailman 3
by C. Souza 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

In a few days my current domain will be disabled (it is out of my control) and I would like to know how to migrate the mailing lists to the new domain name. As a solution I added a new domain in mailman 3 and created a script that replicates the lists in this new domain. To forward the emails received by the old lists, the script removes the members and adds the email of the new list. Is there a fashionable way to do that? Also, one problem that I don't have a solution is the archive of the old lists. How to bring them to the new ones? Thanks for your help. My mailing list server is running on a CenOS-7x with postgreSQL and the following mailman packages: Package Version ------------------- ---------- 1 aiosmtpd 1.2.4 2 alembic 1.5.3 3 arrow 0.17.0 4 asgiref 3.3.1 5 atpublic 2.1.2 6 authheaders 0.13.0 7 authres 1.2.0 8 bleach 3.3.0 9 blessed 1.17.12 10 certifi 2020.12.5 11 cffi 1.14.4 12 chardet 4.0.0 13 click 7.1.2 14 cmarkgfm 0.5.2 15 cryptography 3.3.1 16 decorator 4.4.2 17 defusedxml 0.6.0 18 Django 3.0.12 19 django-allauth 0.44.0 20 django-appconf 1.0.4 21 django-compressor 2.4 22 django-extensions 3.1.0 23 django-gravatar2 1.4.4 24 django-haystack 3.0 25 django-mailman3 1.3.5 26 django-picklefield 3.0.1 27 django-q 1.3.4 28 djangorestframework 3.12.2 29 dkimpy 1.0.5 30 dnspython 2.1.0 31 docutils 0.16 32 falcon 2.0.0 33 flufl.bounce 3.0.1 34 flufl.i18n 2.0.2 35 flufl.lock 3.2 36 gunicorn 20.0.4 37 HyperKitty 1.3.3 38 idna 2.10 39 importlib-resources 5.1.0 40 lazr.config 2.2.3 41 lazr.delegates 2.0.4 42 mailman 3.3.2 43 mailman-hyperkitty 1.1.0 44 mailman-web 0.0.3 45 mailmanclient 3.3.2 46 Mako 1.1.4 47 MarkupSafe 1.1.1 48 networkx 2.5 49 nose 1.3.7 50 oauthlib 3.1.0 51 packaging 20.9 52 passlib 1.7.4 53 pip 21.0.1 54 postorius 1.3.3 55 psycopg2-binary 2.8.6 56 publicsuffix2 2.20191221 57 pycparser 2.20 58 Pygments 2.7.4 59 PyJWT 2.0.1 60 pyparsing 2.4.7 61 python-dateutil 2.8.1 62 python-editor 1.0.4 63 python3-openid 3.2.0 64 pytz 2021.1 65 rcssmin 1.0.6 66 readme-renderer 28.0 67 requests 2.25.1 68 requests-oauthlib 1.3.0 69 rjsmin 1.1.0 70 robot-detection 0.4 71 setuptools 39.2.0 72 six 1.15.0 73 SQLAlchemy 1.3.23 74 sqlparse 0.4.1 75 typing-extensions 3.7.4.3 76 urllib3 1.26.3 77 uWSGI 2.0.19.1 78 wcwidth 0.2.5 79 webencodings 0.5.1 80 wheel 0.36.2 81 Whoosh 2.7.4 82 zipp 3.4.0 83 zope.component 4.6.2 84 zope.configuration 4.4.0 85 zope.deferredimport 4.3.1 86 zope.deprecation 4.4.0 87 zope.event 4.5.0 88 zope.hookable 5.0.1 89 zope.i18nmessageid 5.0.1 90 zope.interface 5.2.0 91 zope.proxy 4.3.5 92 zope.schema 6.0.1 -- Carlos Souza

Postorius and some CSS issue?
by Odhiambo Washington 12 Jan '24

12 Jan '24

Happy New Year to you too all. MM3 installed today using the virtualenv method. On my testbench, I am having this strange issue where the Postorius is not displaying correctly perhaps because of some CSS issue - or just my own hangovers! I have used the standard method as documented. The error I get: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/dhvsHFG4jH/ -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft.", egrep -v '^$|^.*#' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ :-) [How to ask smart questions: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html]

Loops back to myself
by David Krantz 12 Jan '24

12 Jan '24

Hi, I have a problem with my Mailman 3-setup. The symptom is that postfix rejects non-existing addresses for my list domains with <adr(a)example.com>: mail for example.com loops back to myself What I guess happens happens is that postfix for some reason accepts the mail as it is for a relay domain and finds that it is not deliverable locally as the address does not exist locally and then tries to relay it on to the appropriate MX server, which is itself and then fails and generates a bounce message. This is a bit annoying as I have set up postfix to only accept valid addresses. I have set the transport_maps, local_recipient_maps and relay_domains to the files generated by MM3. I run an older version of MM3 (3.0) but prefer to fix this without upgrading as upgrading is a relatively big undertaking. This is mostly a backscatter problem for spam I guess. Any ideas of very simple and easy to forget things that I've probably missed? Cheers // David

Review requested for some merge requests
by Stephen J. Turnbull 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

Reply-To set to Mailman Developers. Please check that your replies go there. Or you can comment on MRs directly if you have a GitLab login. I have three merge requests pending: [1] https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/merge_requests/1159 [2] https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/merge_requests/1160 [3] https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/merge_requests/1161 [1] fixes the logging initialization bug that prevented the `smtp` log from rotating properly, and maybe some others. I don't think it needs user review because it's a pure bugfix, but if you're curious and take a look, and you think it needs better documentation let me know. [2] adds a configuration variable `lmtp_max_size`. This is user-visible, so review of the documentation in docs/mta.rst and config/mailman.cfg for clarity and readability would be appreciated. [3] adds postfix-pgsql support for use of the PostgreSQL database to route Mailman traffic. It's really most useful in an edge case (migration of 10,000+ list Mailman 2 instances), but it's theoretically attractive on the principle of "single source of truth", and possibly for implementing a "microservices" style cloud instance (it eliminates the need for Mailman and Postfix to share a file system). Besides opinions on the value of the general idea I have two specific questions: - Postfix docs recommend not looking up domains in the database to reduce load on the database server. But on a dedicated Mailman system, you're going to be looking up pretty much everything twice anyway (once to check for local recipient and once to fetch the transport), and my experience so far is that this isn't a big load on Postgres, and it's not a drag on list traffic distribution. Should I implement domain lookup in Postgres? Should it be optional if the lists are being looked up in Postgres? - The current patch completely disables generation of the postfix_lmtp alias file, even for the `mailman aliases` command. Should I implement an option to force generation of the files for documentation (and maybe a backup in a very rare and contorted situation where Mailman can see Postgres but Postfix can't)? Thanks, Steve

Mailman 3 Core user assistance
by Tony Deshields 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

I currently have a docker mailman stack that utilizes Django LDAP backend for authentication. I have my users attributes mapped as you see below in my settings.py file. Whenever a user logs into postorius with their 'uid', mailman-core uses their 'uid' as their email address instead of the 'email' attribute. Is there anyway to change this functionality? I would like my users to be able to login with their enterprise uid but be mapped to their email but I feel like there is a disconnect between Django and MM3 core. Any assistance is much appreciated. AUTH_LDAP_USER_ATTR_MAP = { "uid" : "userPrincipalName", "first_name": "givenName", "last_name": "sn", "email" : "mail", }

Docker mailman image can't access https://publicsuffix.org/
by bob B 09 Jan '24

09 Jan '24

Thanks so it looks like Mailman can not get to publicsuffix. The wrinkle is I am running maxking's docker version. The host can get there, but not from the docker image. Any idea to to configure that? and this only comes into play when I set the dmarc settings.

Archive import fails: "IndexError: list index out of range"
by Johannes Rohr 06 Jan '24

06 Jan '24

I am now importing the archives of my old mailman2 installation. Unfortunately, with some of the larger and older lists, import fails halfway through, with an exception, the last message of which is IndexError: list index out of range Below is an example. This means that the last few years are missing from the archive in several lists. Are there any suggestions what I could do to still get them importet? Thanks!
