Xapian error on RHEL9 - module 'xapian' has no attribute 'QueryParser'

Aug. 21, 2025

Hi, I'm trying to set up Mailman 3 on a RHEL9 (unfortunately Debian/Ubuntu aren't options) and have been making some progress, but I'm having trouble getting Xapian to work. I first tried to install it using Method 1 (https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#set-up-xapian) however, xapian_wheel_builder.sh seems to just exit right as it starts "preparing xapian wheel...". I ended up installing Xapian 1.4.29 from source and symlinking xapian in the venv as per Method 2. When trying to search the archives the error below is generated. Has anyone else encountered this before? Thanks. ################################################################################# Internal Server Error: /archives/search AttributeError at /archives/search module 'xapian' has no attribute

I wonder what this means and whether it's fatal.

Hello Team, I have received spam in the last few days, posted to one of my lists. The spam is from non-subscribers. I am wondering how this spam makes it to the list in the first place, and how to stop them. Below are the headers from one such spam: ``` Delivered-To: odhiambo(a)gmail.com Received: by 2002:a05:6358:478c:b0:1f8:8ba6:62f4 with SMTP id i12csp6474433rwn; Mon, 18 Aug 2025 13:08:57 -0700 (PDT) X-Google-Smtp-Source: AGHT+IHwGjDJGZU1VZV2Thd34wgXeV2X6aweYtnKYgygiua1m7FH5CCqq+Meam6X7EFnMO9s7JBE X-Received: by 2002:a17:906:7314:b0:af4:11e1:f877 with SMTP id a640c23a62f3a-afddcb70ffamr6800866b.21.1755547737149; Mon, 18 Aug 2025 13:08:57 -0700 (PDT) ARC-Seal: i=2; a=rsa-sha256; t=1755547737; cv=pass; d=google.com; s=arc-20240605; b=SxOZ4g+V75ZlHjnb68dGFk0C43UBXEiiHFbsec2Nd8CciQe2WoDWDKivUrl9AOXU8C JtJmmL+iQfTp/gAwWVbIys7CzEEKx3zoApV867a0tIoQO3GJpNz/wMJ2uJhNwNJ13rCZ 3VpCG0/8yMKme8Gl+wi2hFlpTusPD5//yEvj+2nUjbPyqlQTsgiGK40IsE2dPSv7nuG7 SLCJlXQCxPLlUVo7Qhi8TuK5jmbK2k0JP4L2QpGXISMX5oRUJJX7BoZT5bn8eXRPLGUq IYGEqw+PUP9E/qwBLRrJ+aESBQsfAwMtjQn9UC9jJHX3kXkjL3a5SuOrrbxlXnfnTijU w8NA== ARC-Message-Signature: i=2; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=google.com; s=arc-20240605; h=cc:from:list-unsubscribe:list-subscribe:list-post:list-owner :list-help:list-archive:archived-at:list-id:subject:reply-to :precedence:message-id-hash:message-id:to:date:mime-version :dkim-signature; bh=68hDV7fTzXN9aXRXs+9wXgUwlV63FoOfuranZTCGBok=; fh=LcmHOTIZU58Nx4GQGbrz/At1kQTaA+xCcs3xKrMC9Wg=; b=OIvR32zF5EzJs4iH6pixYvTBd9Iwk9uWSDONJeWI3PdG2RPnT36Tj5sApTR8UhVtir d2vO3HCSlHlFI4+uMXE/upRQ3KQVCWYPT6LQpnkoEVrRoMJjqHobtTceOtBlGxIX00G6 Vfa8s7ZwcBoX2XjbRcesjHVB9mtrukG05CULR2u88JsS90d1qGMjSeitGuyY5QLEKJ+H S1q1s7b6fMKfnb267vEvxIKYerfeDdDOHanGNhD04NB3SlSyecm6b48AknFCZi7GzJsR EvLXXa3C2jibniaKXmEF5AG0VRtxoP0PBpHjUmIK/kZnuEpHCBYFu2tFgzFI5FCwNnYv 6jbA==; dara=google.com ARC-Authentication-Results: i=2; mx.google.com; dkim=neutral (body hash did not verify) header.i=(a)gmail.com header.s=20230601 header.b=lrYcmBua; arc=pass (i=1 dkim=pass dkdomain=gmail.com dmarc=pass fromdomain= gmail.com) spf=pass (google.com: domain of kictanet-bounces+odhiambo= gmail.com(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke designates 62.169.28.150 as permitted sender) smtp.mailfrom="kictanet-bounces+odhiambo= gmail.com(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke"; dmarc=pass (p=REJECT sp=NONE dis=NONE) header.from= lists.kictanet.or.ke Return-Path: <kictanet-bounces+odhiambo=gmail.com(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke> Received: from eu.kictanet.or.ke (eu.kictanet.or.ke.

help with startup scripts

Hello, I'm trying to get mailman3 working on Ubuntu. I'm following these instructions: https://docs.list.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#setup-virtualenv I've gotten to the point where I can successfully su - to the mailman3 user, and manually start the mailman3 process with the startup command.

db migration from mailman3.2.2 to mailman3.3.9 (sqlite3 to postgres16)
by Peter Thornton Aug. 13, 2025

Aug. 13, 2025

Hello, I know this question comes up here periodically, but I am having some trouble performing a data migration from an older version of mailman3 to a more recent one. We have a legacy environment with: mailman3.2.2 postorius 1.2.4 hyperkitty 1.2.2 there are two sqlite3 dbs for mailman core and mailman web. I've staged a new environment using the docker-mailman project with the following: mailman3.3.9 postorius 1.3.10 hyperkitty 1.3.8 there is a single postgres db here for both core and web. I've tried migration a few different ways, using pgloader, and also with some manual python scripts. Data is definitely not my forte, but I am struggling to get a working instance. I am running into several issues such as foreignkeyviolations, datatype mismatches, unique PK errors, etc.. Does anyone out there have a prescriptive process for this migration, or a suggestion for workflow/tooling that has worked in a similar upgrade process? Thanks! -Peter

Website 404 error
by peter＠pi4cc.nl Aug. 11, 2025

Aug. 11, 2025

Hello I'm running Debian 12 with the latest version and installed mailman3 via apt install-mailman3-full. Everything works, I'm using MySQL as the database. There's something strange, and I can't find a source/solution. When I first access the website domain.nl/mailman3, it's redirected to domain.nl/mailman/postorius/lists/, resulting in a 404 error (3 after mailman is missing). When I accessed it a second time with the same link (domain.nl/mailman3), I was redirected to domain.nl/mailman3/postorius/lists and the welcome page appeared. This is strange... I tested it on a mobile device with Chrome and Firefox, and on a desktop with Chrome and Edge. All the results were the same. Is there a specific file to look add? Regards, Peter

Your current *) documentation says Migrate the list archives from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3 by running the following command: $ python manage.py hyperkitty_import -l foo-list(a)example.com $var_prefix/archives/private/foo-list.mbox/foo-list.mbox (venv) /opt/mailman $ python manage.py python: can't open file '/opt/mailman/manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory What did I wrong or what is that part of your documentation missing? *) https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/migration.html

Vote irregularities
by Ron Aug. 10, 2025

Aug. 10, 2025

I've been playing with the voting system on a couple of lists (this one included). There are some weird behaviours I've noticed: * votes are frequently not immediately reflected - a page reload is required * some votes display as: 0 0 You dislike it (cancel) Here we see I've voted on a message, but the counts are still zero up and zero down. I just down-voted one of my posts as a test, and nothing changed in the page to reflect the vote. Often it takes multiple clicks, sometimes a page reload. Browser console shows voting generates a 200 response to a POST method, but the JSON confuses me: like 0 dislike 0 html '\n\n <form method="post" class="likeform"\n action="/archives/list/talk(a)lists.domain.tld/message/IK6WH4IQPZXOG3CIFV4CJGOKVFARGXA5/vote">\n <input type="hidden" name="csrfmiddlewaretoken" value="***">\n \n\t\t\n\t\t\t<a class="youlike vote "\n\t\t\thref="#like" data-vote="1" aria-label="Like thread">\n\t\t\t\t\t<i class="fa fa-thumbs-o-up"></i> 0\n\t\t\t</a>\n\t\t\t<a class="youdislike vote"\n\t\t\thref="#dislike" data-vote="-1" aria-label="Dislike thread">\n\t\t\t\t<i class="fa fa-thumbs-o-down"></i> 0\n\t\t\t</a>\n\t\t\n \n\n </form>\n' The uwsgi.log file entry for that vote is: [pid: 4010303|app: 0|req: 552908/575956] 127.0.0.1 () {66 vars in 1374 bytes} [Sun Aug 10 02:28:21 2025] POST /archives/list/talk(a)lists.domain.tld/message/IK6WH4IQPZXOG3CIFV4CJGOKVFARGXA5/vote => generated 696 bytes in 376 msecs (HTTP/1.1 200) 9 headers in 394 bytes (1 switches on core 1) Following the Permalink beside the voting options loads the specific message with no votes showing. Ctrl+F5 shows no votes. Re-casting vote and reloading shows no votes. Clicking "Back to thread" shows my message and: > 0 0 You dislike it (cancel) I don't think I've ever seen reliable voting on any MM3 site, including this one (I don't think I've seen zero / zero You {like|dislike} it (cancel) here, but multiple vote attempts to see the results is not unusual). Searching the archive shows something from ~6-7 years ago where caching was modified, seems relevant but nothing since. Am I alone in this, or is the feature so unused that nobody else noticed this?
