spanish localization
by Guillermo Hernandez (Oldno7) 18 Feb '21

18 Feb '21

I contributed in january to translate to spanish all the items left in Mailman Core, Django-mailman, HyperKitty and Postorius via Weblate. I thought they will be used in the next upgrade, but I cannot see any improvement and there are many words untranslated. Is there any way to upgrade the .po files in order to get the last translation? P.S.: I will follow translating the Weblate updates, by the way.

Mailman, etc. upgrade woes and persistent bugs
by hansen＠rc.org 18 Feb '21

18 Feb '21

I just had my Mailman suite upgraded. When it got started, I starting receiving messages that hundreds of subscribers to the lists had been disables, including several of the list moderators. This version started supporting bounce processing, but how in the world was this upgrade allowed to act on bounces that were being collected PRIOR to enabling bounce processing?? I got many angry emails, messages and phone calls asking what was going on, as they were bona fide list members. I was very surprised myself. I then looked at several of the disabled accounts, but the subscription info page in Postorius had no information about whether an account was enabled or disabled. Why is this not displayed???. The members can't see if their account is enabled. Is this another example of the disconnect between Mailman and Postorius? Further, even after the upgrade, the moderators still cannot access the list memberships even though all the lists are set to allow that. I would have asked the moderators to do this if this access bug had been fixed, but they can't get there. As a result of these bugs, after consulting with Brian, who helped with the upgrade, I spent many hours re-enabling the several hundred accounts that had been disabled. I had to go through each email notification to find the address of a disabled account, then find the list, then the member, in Postorius, and finally enable the account (at which time Postorius DID show the enabled status). Please, can the next upgrade include these very basic fixes/enhancements, which I requested a long time ago: a. The ability of moderators to see the list membership (a bug). b. The ability of members to change their addresses for all lists they are subscribed to. and further, now: c. That when members go to look at their subscription info, they can actually see the settings. Thank you, Allan

Re: Mailman, etc. upgrade woes and persistent bugs

Steve, What I mean by per-user permissions is that some transitions, for example bounce-disabled to enabled, should be only possible by someone with appropriate permission to do so -- perhaps the list admin, perhaps someone else, but not just anyone. Another example _could_ be if a user disables themselves then only that user can re-enable them again (though I can see that might not be good). Of course, you can to some extent group users by role, so 'admin' role is always ok, 'list-owner' role is ok for any action on that list, etc. If you had a 'role' which was 'account-owner' then you can probably code the rule for re-enabling an account disabled by the account owner as "role = admin or role = list-owner or role = account-owner". Whether this needs to be extended to "role=admin or user = guy" (where 'guy' is a named account holder) I don't know... I suspect it would be better if that wasn't done unless it was shown to be necessary, as "here be dragons". Do you see where I'm at? In writing this up it occurs to me that being able to see/edit rules such as these, stored in per-list config, would probably be a good thing. Don't know how practical that is though.

Rebuilding a list index fails
by Mark Dadgar 18 Feb '21

Now that I’ve got my instance back up and running on the latest released code, I am trying to rebuild a list index. I am using Xapian via haystack, which worked beautifully before my recent list meltdown. Error messages below. rebuild_index fails with the same error. This is with django version 3.0.12.

List is down - RemovedInDjango30Warning
by Mark Dadgar 17 Feb '21

17 Feb '21

So I did the latest mailman upgrades within my venv (per the instructions got from Brian Carpenter when he installed it for me) to the latest version. I had a strange CPU pegging issue that turned out to be mailman struggling with a malformed message but in the process of debugging that I downgraded to the previous mailman release. The resulted in a broken web interface. Today, while debugging, I did a pip install --upgrade of all the components as listed in a previous thread. Now none of the mailman3 processes will start. Doing a bin/mailman-post-update results in the error message below, which are consistent with the issues I saw earlier when trying to access the web interface. Anyone got a solution to this? I suspect it’s something simple, but django is just not my area of expertise.

Bottom line of message footer
by Tom Stoddard 15 Feb '21

15 Feb '21

Here's another question that I have. A regular message just came into my email from one of the lists I'm a member of and it had a 3 line footer. The first two lines are fine, they just include the list's email address and an address to send unsubscribe requests to. The third line is this: %(web_page_url)slistinfo%(cgiext)s/%(_internal_name)s It looks to me like it should be a link to the group's list info page. Is this a bug or is there something I can do to fix it? It looks like it might be missing a forward slash after the first "s".

Unknown templates being used
by Tom Stoddard 15 Feb '21

15 Feb '21

I'm a list owner who has recently (within the last week) had my lists migrated from mailman 2 to mailman 3. The UI that we are using is Affinity. I've reviewed all of the list templates and begun to customize some of them. My issue is that I'm receiving messages that don't match any of the templates. Here is an example of one that I just received this morning. (The x's are inserted by me. The actual message provided valid addresses.) The xxxxxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxxxxx.org list has 1 moderation requests waiting. Held Subscriptions: User:xxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com Please attend to this at your earliest convenience. When I log in to review the request it appears to be a subscription request awaiting approval. I had previously modified the "Moderator Approval Subscription" template, which is what I would expect to have received in this circumstance. I administer several lists and have received some messages that do use the newly modified template so I assume I did it correctly. Any idea where the template for this message came from? Thanks!

Dealing with recipients' servers spam filtering
by Gilles Filippini 13 Feb '21

13 Feb '21

Hi, I run a mailman3 instance with mainly private lists for which I know and trust every single member. Some of them have Hotmail email addresses, and the messages they send though our lists are rejected as being spam by most of the recipients' mail servers, while these are legitimate emails. I'd welcome any pointer to best practices / howtos regarding mailman3 / exim4 configuration to mitigate this problem. Many thanks in advance, _g.

Mailman 3 installation from latest Debian packages
by Matthew Blissett 12 Feb '21

12 Feb '21

Hi, I've installed mailman3-full 3.3.3-1 from Debian bullseye (Debian testing). The dropdown controls on the UI for Postorius (e.g. "Subscription requests", "Mass operations" and the username button to log out) and the similar controls on Hyperkitty (e.g. "Threads by month") do not work. You can see the latter at http://newlistszm.gbif.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/test@newlistszm.gbif.or… I found https://lists.gem5.org/archives/list/gem5-announce@gem5.org/ which is running the same version, but presumably not using these Debian packages as the Javascript is slightly different. Could this be a problem with the Debian packaging, or perhaps my configuration -- which is very close to the defaults (i.e. Mailman and Apache configuration generated by dpkg). Has anyone set up a working installation using these packages? Thanks, Matt Blissett PS, I wrote a similar message earlier in the week to a Debian list: https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/pkg-mailman-hackers/2021-February…

Innstall and run Mailman 3 with Postfix in a Docker enviroment
by kwp.klein＠gmail.com 11 Feb '21

11 Feb '21

## Install Mailman 3 The idea is to install Mailman 3 in ad docker container. Also I want to install Postfix in a container. All the mail which will send and receive should handled in a docker container. The reason is, that on the server only applications in a docker environment working. There is no MTA installed. On the server are Discourse as forum, wikijs, portainer, watchtower, homepage, and the NGINX Proxy Manager installed. At next I need Mailman 3. I don't know how to install and run Postfix for Mailman in a docker environment. Here is my first try. I can visit the site lists.example.com, but I can not set the Admin password.

Problems with web interface after upgrade
by Victoriano Giralt 10 Feb '21

10 Feb '21

Hi, I just applied all the recipes that have been recently posted for upgrading (pip install --upgrade of all pieces, migrate, collectstatic) The compress part refuses to work "OFF_LINE", whatever that is. I tried with mailman running and stopped. I can access hte main Postorius page and the basic list information, but I cannot login nor access the archives. Operations end on two exceptions logged to the log file (and two mail messages to the owner = me). Very similar to what I get if I try to --force the "compress". I'm sure I'm missing somethning, but do not know what ... Thanks!

Hyperkitty_import.py Error
by Brian Carpenter 09 Feb '21

09 Feb '21

I am trying to import some old archives (going back to 2003) into a Mailman 3 list. The import job is terminating very early in the process with the following error: IndexError: string index out of range 1. Is there a way to fix a mbox file that is generating this type of error? 2. If a message is causing this error, is there a way to import the rest of the mbox file by importing messages after a certain date within the mbox file? I know the --since flag should be able to do that but I am unsure what the date/time format should be. 3. The --no-sync--mailman flag indicates the possibility of doing batch imports. What are batch imports and how do you do them? Thanks! -- Brian Carpenter Harmonylists.com Emwd.com

Implicit Destination Meaning

I just migrated a MM2 list to MM3. The client had no problem sending posts to his list with MM2.

The message is being held because: Message has implicit destination Either the message will get posted to the list, or you will receive notification of the moderator's decision. =========== Is there a List Setting somewhere that needs to be adjusted to allow this sender to post without moderation? -- Brian Carpenter Harmonylists.com Emwd.com

Moderator Approval Subscription template
by Brian Carpenter 09 Feb '21

09 Feb '21

Hey all, I am seeing a strange issue with the Moderator Approval Subscription template. 1. First problem is that this template by default does not include a URL to the list admin page of said mailing list. Mailman 2's notifications did. 2. Problem 1 can be solved by editing the template and adding the List Owner (admin) url to moderate the subscription. However in the case of long URLs, the URL is getting cut-off in Thunderbird. Not sure about other email clients. So something like: https://list.redeacted.org/admin/list/oligodendroglioma.list.redacted.org comes through to Thunderbird like: https://list.redacted.org/admin/list/oligodendroglioma.list.redact (<-- This is hyperlinked but leaves out the ed.org portion) ed.org (<--- This is not hyperlinked) -- Brian Carpenter Harmonylists.com Emwd.com

Folks, I upgraded mailman-web and mailman-core to 3.3.3 in the manner suggested recently (pip install -U) and all seemed well, but have now noticed a strange bug. On the Postorius list admin page (where moderated subscriptions etc can be seen) although the top horizontal menu is present and the links exist, all the links are to that page (i.e. href="#') Is this a known issue, and how can I fix it? Pre upgrade all was well. Regards, Ruth -- Software Manager & Engineer Tel: 01223 414180 Blog: http://www.ivimey.org/blog LinkedIn: http://uk.linkedin.com/in/ruthivimeycook/

I've just upgrade mailman 3 installation following Mr. Sapiro advice: did a pip install --upgrade django-mailman3 hyperkitty mailman mailmanclient mailman-hyperkitty postorius I did a "python3 manage.py migrate" after, too. And all seemed to run well. All the lists showed in postorius via web, but when I try to accesss into one of them the browser shows an error. In the log you can see: *-*-*-*-*-*-* Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/base.py", line 119, in __getattr__ return self._get(name) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/base.py", line 86, in _get raise KeyError(key) KeyError: 'get_requests_count' ...

Footer

Hi, I have created a footer via the webUI "Templates" option, but it is not included in the mails distributed by the mailinglist. From information given in other threads, I checked the DB, and the entry for this footer is created in the template table. The uri for the footer is http://localhost:8000/postorius/api/templates/list/..., but there is no process listening on port 8000. Do I need to install/configure something additionally to get a process listening on port 8000? Thanks in advance,Eric

So near, and yet so far (Configuring Mailman)

Hello all, I've spent more time than I care to admit trying to configure Mailman. And I almost have it all working now, but I just can't seem to get my Mailman/Postfix combo to receive emails. When I try to send emails to lists I'm rebuffed with undelivered notices with: <testlist(a)lists.fiftyshadesof.green>: Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=lists type=AAAA: Host not found and: <testlist(a)lists.fiftyshadesof.green>: Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=lists.fiftyshadesof.green type=MX: Host not found, try again This to me appears to be an issue with my DNS settings, but I can't work this out either. I have an A record for lists.fiftyshadesof.green pointing at my server, and an MX record pointing at that: lists.fiftyshadesof.green. 0 IN MX 0 lists.fiftyshadesof.green. lists.fiftyshadesof.green. 0 IN A 193.37.35.191 I have driven myself mad with this and would very much appreciate any advice anyone can offer. Many thanks! Jack

API errors making member changes to one list but not others
by Stephen Willey Mats Mats 28 Jan '21

28 Jan '21

We had an issue with the UI getting API timeouts for a single list for specific functions but not other lists or other functions. This started happening after we accidentally filled the disk partition used by most of the system including the database. There was a single person testing at the time when the disk fullness happened and it was only the single list that got ‘damaged’. After disk cleanup and restarting the docker images the single list would give API errors ("HTTP Error 400: HTTPConnectionPool(host='mailman-web', port=8000): Read timed out. (read timeout=5)” ) on the screen and logged errors (below) when list members were either subscribed or removed. The issue was repeatable in Postorius and did not ‘heal’. Oddly the issue was resolved by making seemingingly the same API calls from the command line via curl. Making the below call to add a member succeeded and fixed being able to add members in the UI. Similarly sending a DELETE cal from curl worked where unsubscribe requests from postorius (either mass removal or picking addresses from the list member and unsubscribing selected) failed. Again, the unsubscribe from the curl DELETE call ‘healed’ the list such that subsequent unsubscribes in Postorius worked. curl --user user:password -X POST -d 'list_id=laura-test.mm3.aca-aws.s.uw.edu' -d 'subscriber=ssw(a)uw.edu' -d 'pre_verified=true' -d 'pre_confirmed=true' -d 'pre_approved=true' http://172.19.199.2:8001/3.1/members We’re running the current rolling docker images (up to date as of 25Jan2021) Obviously, people should run their servers better than letting disk partitions fill-up but it’s going to happen and mailman3 should do a better job of reporting errors and recovering when accidents happen. thanks, steve I’ve included mailman.log lines from going to the mass subscribe [26/Jan/2021:20:42:49 +0000] "GET /3.1/lists/laura-test.mm3.aca-aws.s.uw.edu HTTP/1.1" 200 434 "-" "GNU Mailman REST client v3.3.2" [26/Jan/2021:20:42:49 +0000] "GET /3.1/lists/laura-test(a)mm3.aca-aws.s.uw.edu/requests/count?token_owner=moderator HTTP/1.1" 200 73 "-" "GNU Mailman REST client v3.3.2" [26/Jan/2021:20:42:49 +0000] "GET /3.1/lists/laura-test(a)mm3.aca-aws.s.uw.edu/held/count HTTP/1.1" 200 73 "-" "GNU Mailman REST client v3.3.2" [26/Jan/2021:20:43:01 +0000] "GET /3.1/lists/laura-test.mm3.aca-aws.s.uw.edu HTTP/1.1" 200 434 "-" "GNU Mailman REST client v3.3.2" Jan 26 20:43:07 2021 (48) deque: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 426, in _make_request six.raise_from(e, None) File "<string>", line 3, in raise_from File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 421, in _make_request httplib_response = conn.getresponse() File "/usr/lib/python3.8/http/client.py", line 1347, in getresponse response.begin() File "/usr/lib/python3.8/http/client.py", line 307, in begin version, status, reason = self._read_status() File "/usr/lib/python3.8/http/client.py", line 268, in _read_status line = str(self.fp.readline(_MAXLINE + 1), "iso-8859-1") File "/usr/lib/python3.8/socket.py", line 669, in readinto return self._sock.recv_into(b) socket.timeout: timed out During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/requests/adapters.py", line 439, in send resp = conn.urlopen( File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 724, in urlopen retries = retries.increment( File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/urllib3/util/retry.py", line 403, in increment raise six.reraise(type(error), error, _stacktrace) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/urllib3/packages/six.py", line 735, in reraise raise value File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 670, in urlopen httplib_response = self._make_request( File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 428, in _make_request self._raise_timeout(err=e, url=url, timeout_value=read_timeout) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 335, in _raise_timeout raise ReadTimeoutError( urllib3.exceptions.ReadTimeoutError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='mailman-web', port=8000): Read timed out.

Perplexing unsubscribing notification problem
by Brian Carpenter 27 Jan '21

27 Jan '21

Hi MM3 Users, I have a perplexing issue with one of our Mailman 3 servers. It doesn't want to send out unsubscribe notifications when a List Owner removes a list member. The server sends out welcome messages and subscription notifications fine just not unsubscribe notifications when a List Owner removes a list member. It will send out an unsubscribe notification if the list member sends an email to listname-leave@listdomain both to the List Owner and List Member. Nothing is showing in the logs as far as I can tell. -- Brian Carpenter Harmonylists.com Emwd.com

Language Support In Templates
by Brian Carpenter 26 Jan '21

26 Jan '21

Hello MM3 Users, I have a question regarding the use of templates in different languages. I created a template for the unsubscribe notification in Postorius in Greek. The template shows up fine in Greek via Postorius. However the email that is sent out has a bunch of question marks where the Greek should be: ??????????? ?????????? ???????? ?????????? email ???? ???, ????? ????? ? ??????????? GNU Mailman ???? ????? $. ?????? ??? ?????? ????????? ??? ?? ????????? email $user_email ?????? ?? GNU Mailman ?????? ?? ?????????? ??? ??????? ???, ?????? ????? ?? ????????????? ?? ?????? ???. ???????? ?? ?? ?????? ????? ?????????? ?? ???? ?? ??????. ? ?? ?????? ?? ????????????? ??? ???????? ?????? - ??? ???? ?? ???????? line - ?? ??? ?????? ???? ?? $ request_email: confirm $token ????????? ??? ? ???? ???????? "?????????" ?? ???? ?? ?????? ?????? ?? ?????????? ?? ???????????? ?????????? ?????????????. ??? ??? ?????? ?? ??????????? ??? ????? ?? ????????? ???????????? ????????????, ????? ???????? ??? ??????. ??? ????????? ??? ??????????? ????????? ??? ?? ?????, ? ????? ????? ?????????, ???????? ?? ?????????????? $owner_email What does it take to get templates to send out messages in a different language then the interface itself. -- Brian Carpenter Harmonylists.com Emwd.com

False attachments in Outlook 2019?
by Brian Olesen 24 Jan '21

24 Jan '21

Dear Mailman 3 users, I seriously think of upgrading from Mailman 2.1.33 to this new RC2 or the final one, when it comes out. But there is an annoying issue that I'd like to ask you about. It's the false attachments that Outlook creates for the footer. Is this still an issue when using Mailman 3, or have you made some sort of work around? I mean here in 2021 it could be nice to use html as the default mail format to be able to create nice looking mails, and due to EU regulations an unsubscription is a requirement. Best regards Brian Olesen from Denmark P.S. If this issue has been solved I will happily translate the mail templates into Danish if wanted.

Unable to retrieve <800 members of Mailman list through Curl command

Hi Team, I am currently running Mailman 3 with version 3.3.1 and in built postfix version 2.10.1-6 on RHEL 7.5 with PostgreSQL 11.7 version with default values. I am almost running 2000 lists with 128 GB RAM and 24 Cores on a single VM and on which all the mailman 3 components are running. It is observed for most of the lists having members more than 500 is displaying "Mailman REST API not available. Please restart Mailman Core" message on the postorius window and on running the CURL command over REST API of Mailman it is reaching the time limit 30 seconds and showing the below error. *curl: (52) Empty reply from serverNo JSON object could be decoded* The same behavior is observed on browsing the held messages for few lists either through the browser or through CURL and REST API. How to resolve this issue ? What other details I can provide to make you get an idea ? -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936 <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

Easiest way to install a new mailman3 deployment?
by ieso＠johnwillson.com 18 Jan '21

18 Jan '21

So I've been trying for the last two weeks to get a new mailman3 server running on a virtualized server (any server), and I'm turning to this list after having failed many times and running out of holiday time. I started trying a non-docker installation on Ubuntu 18.04 (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xIcSsoNFp2nHi7r4eQys00s9a0k2sHhu1V5Plan…) , which got me the closest. Except I had a problem with inbound email only being triggered when it came from certain accounts. But that clearly wasn't good enough for production, so after many attempts to figure out where it was failing, I decided to turn to docker as a solution that should be cleaner. A few attempts at doing a docker installation on digitalocean.com failed, which I realized might be due to it not routing private IP addresses, so I moved to AWS after checking that their VPC policy would fit mailman's docker requirements. I found a great but slightly outdated guide on how to do this (https://xiaoxing.us/2018/01/01/deploy-mailman-3-on-aws-using-docker/). By this point I knew enough to correct a number of places where the environment had changed since the procedure was written, but postorius still failed at the curl test. The challenge for me has been the difficulty to know how to troubleshoot the different different systems and network infrastructure that are used to keep mailman3 humming. I've tried about 7 different installation walkthroughs (there are no recent ones on Youtube by the way, in case anyone wants to seize that opportunity!), and the good guides provide ways to check each stage to try to help you a bit on that front. Nonetheless, I feel stuck and thought I'd ask the simple question... for a completely basic, barebones new installation, what's the easiest way to get a mailman3 installation up-and running? (e.g. Which server provider? Which operating system and version? Docker or otherwise?) Any pointers highly appreciated. Google Groups is clearly on its way out, as it no longer allows for people to easily join groups by sending an email or clicking a link, so that should be a big opportunity for mailman3 to step up and help give those mailing list migrants a new home... which is what we're looking for. We're just not quite as smart as you guys. ;-)

Mailman 3 Installation
by bruce.dubbs＠gmail.com 17 Jan '21

17 Jan '21

I am trying to set up Mailman 3 on a new server. So far I have run: pip3 install Django==3.1.5 pip3 install postorius pip3 install Hyperkitty pip3 install mailman pip3 install uwsgi All that went well. I've been struggling with the configuration though. I am using /etc/mailman.cfg and that seems to be explained in the documentation OK. From there I am confused. I do have sqlite installed, but the documentation discusses mysql/mariadb and postresql. What are the considerations as to why I would need one of these other DBs? I think I can follow the instructions to set up postfix. In the section 'Configure Web Frontend', it discusses setting up the administrator. As I want to put Mailman on /srv/mailman I can create that, but what should the owner/permissions be? Later the docs discuss editing Django's settings.py. Where do I find that file? I'll note here that my experience with python is quite limited and my knowledge of Django is nil. Later in the section 'Set up HyperKitty', it sends me to a page that discusses installing it. I did that with pip3. Then it says to 'Setup your django project'. What django project is that. I would appreciate advice or a pointer to where I can figure this out. Thanks. -- Bruce

Mailman 'requests' API call timeout when there are a number of pending members
by Alan So 15 Jan '21

15 Jan '21

We are currently testing latest mailman suite and notice that the requests API call will timeout if there are a number of pending requests. Since the latest Postorious allow unchecking Pre confirm and Pre approved during mass subscribe, our support staff tried to add large number of email addresses to the list. We then found that we cannot click into the list from the web UI to administer it and an error message showing that "Mailman REST API not available. Please start Mailman core." Further checked that the requests API call failed to complete when we click the list on the web interface. Looks like the UI should not try to load all the pending members just for the sake of showing the number of pending requests. Of course in normal situations, there should not be that many pending requests.

Header Filter madness
by Brian Carpenter 14 Jan '21

14 Jan '21

I have a client whose header filters seemed to have stop working. No matter what I try, it seems none of their header filters are being applied. Other lists on the same server that use header filters, are working fine. This particular header is the subject header. I can duplicate their problem but only with their list. If I create the exact same header on a test list using the exact same subject line, the header filter does its job (moderate). Just not with this one list. -- Brian Carpenter Harmonylists.com Emwd.com

The future is here?

In my quest to figure out how even us idiots can successfully install a mailman3 server, I keep looking ways to reduce the process to the simplest possible set of instructions. So far, I haven't been doing very well with that, but I've been learning a ton. In particular, while I still haven't got a fully functioning mailman3 server yet, someone pointed me, off list, to Ansible, which I wasn't aware of before and which has completely blown me away by its power and simplicity. For those who aren't aware of it, it's an agentless, multi-platform automation technology. For our purposes, it replaces "how to install mailman3" guides with a single script that aims to actually do the entire thing for you. One of the particularly interesting points is that you can write complex scripts/data structures (or 'collections') that allow for a single collection to cover a broad range of use cases, such as [this person's](https://github.com/rivimey/) exim Ansible collection, which covers 3 very different use cases from a private domain email relay up to a full multi-domain email handler with IMAP integration. I haven't quite got the mailman3 one working yet, but I've just started playing with it. Here are some pointers in case anyone else is interested in trying, and I'd be very interested in whether or not I'm actually the last person to discover this technology, and if one of these solutions succeeds in delivering mailman3 "out of the box". 1. [Install Ainsible](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_…, make sure you're on at least version 2.9, if not 2.10. Some distributions are still on 2.7, which is not compatible with more recent collections. The "Galaxy" collection is apparently only tested on Debian 10. 2. Pick your mailman3 Ansible collection of choice and install it (https://galaxy.ansible.com/ucr/mailman3, or https://github.com/rivimey/ansible-mailman3) Command to install official collection - ansible-galaxy install ucr.mailman3 3. Write playbook.yml with key variables (mailman3 example below) _________________________ mailman3-playbook.yml _________________________ - hosts: mailman3 vars: mailman3_domain: example.com # It will install and create a certificate using certbot, its nignx plugin and http validation (Public IP required). If false, it will install a self sign cert mailman3_install_certbot: true # install and create certificate # secrets, please change them mailman3_secret_key: "change_secretkey" mailman3_rest_api_pass: "change_api_pass" mailman3_archiver_key: "change_archiver_key" mailman3_db_pass: "change_db_pass" mailman3_web_db_pass: "change_web_db_pass" mailman3_web_admin_pass: "change_web_admin_pass" roles: - ucr.mailman3

required cron entries?
by Andreas Barth 02 Jan '21

02 Jan '21

Hi together, as I found some mails in queue/shunt, I thought who should be running them. On my (standard debian) reference system, there are no cron entries for mailman3 but only for mailman3-web. Looking in the source code, there is a ./cron/crontab.in.in however references to scripts in port_me/ directory. Should I (still) install (parts of) the crontab? Or are these functions handled elsewhere? Also, who picks up mails in queue/shunt? Or are they lost somehow? (Or did I miss the documentation somewhere?) Regards, Andi

Syncing Real Name between user account and membership
by Andreas Barth 31 Dec '20

31 Dec '20

Hi together, a user was mass-subscribed (with a wrong name) and now registered and changed his name via the web interface but the list entry is not changed. On looking further at that, I got to the following json outputs: curl -urest:pass http://localhost:8001/3.0/addresses/user@example.com/user { "created_on": "2020-11-26T15:43:24.928285", "is_server_owner": false, "self_link": "http://localhost:8001/3.0/users/123456", "user_id": 123456 "display_name": "Fixed Name", } curl -urest:pass http://localhost:8001/3.0/addresses/user@example.com { "email": "user(a)example.com", "original_email": "user(a)example.com" "registered_on": "2020-11-26T15:43:24.896405", "self_link": "http://localhost:8001/3.0/addresses/user@example.com", "display_name": "Broken Name", "verified_on": "2020-11-26T15:43:24.965784", "user": "http://localhost:8001/3.0/users/123456" } Should the fix of the name propagate? Or what would be the appropriate action here? Regards, Andi

Upgrade to 3.3.2 fails
by Joel Lord 28 Dec '20

28 Dec '20

I've just upgraded python to 3.7, so now I can upgrade mailman from 3.3.1 to 3.3.2. Take it down, "pip install --upgrade mailman", and try a "mailman info". It fails hard, and what I think are the important parts of the stack trace are: sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (pymysql.err.OperationalError) (1118, 'Row size too large. The maximum row size for the used table type, not counting BLOBs, is 8126. This includes storage overhead, check the manual. You have to change some columns to TEXT or BLOBs') [SQL: ALTER TABLE mailinglist ADD COLUMN archive_rendering_mode INTEGER] (Background on this error at: http://sqlalche.me/e/13/e3q8) Looks to me like the mailinglist table has been using awfully close to the default mysql max row length, and this added column pushes me over? Is there some other fix other than a terrifyingly gigantic process of dumping all my databases, changing my page size, and restoring them all? This DB server isn't serving just mailman... Thanks -- Joel Lord

WEB UI fail to reply and create new thread
by Milan P. Stanić 23 Dec '20

23 Dec '20

Hi, Alpine Linux is testing mailman3 as system for project mailing lists. We created docker-compose which can be seen here https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/infra/compose/mailman We installed it and run in testing system here https://lists-test.alpinelinux.org/hyperkitty/ Sending mail by mail clients works and mails are sent to subscribers properly. Most other 'things' works but we have problem with reply to posts and creating new threads using web ui. When replying to post with web ui it says that the everything is ok and post is sent but post doesn't arrive to mailing list. Same happens with creating new thread. Our debug says "KeyError: 'display_fixed'" but we are not sure what should be changed/fixed/set for this problem. Attached is excerpt from debug log. TIA, mps

Docker Core Configuration "MUST" Documentation

Message Sent to A Re-Created List Results In Error
by matthew＠alberti.us 17 Dec '20

17 Dec '20

I created a list in the Postorius interface, used it, and then deleted it. A week or so later, I re-created the list, and things were fine thru the creation and subscription process. But when I sent a message to the list, a "550 user unknown" error was sent back. I tried to determine if this is a known issue by searching the issues in Gitlab; but didn't find anything. But wanted to ask if this was a known issue or not? Thanks. - Matt Alberti

Handling of (un)subscribe mails for already (un)subscribed users

Hi, I noticed that a mail to -subscribe for an already subscribed user doesn't get any response (about line 225 in mailman/src/mailman/app/subscriptions.py). Same but different for unsubscribe for users not on the list. I'd need these kind of mails however in hope that users complain less. Would that be generally interessting, and if so, any special requirements for submitting patches, or should I just do that locally? Regards, Andi

Equivalent Apache2 Directives for Those From the Docker Nginx Documentation?
by James Bowery 15 Dec '20

15 Dec '20

The Docker documentation at: https://asynchronous.in/docker-mailman/#dependencies I've installed and enabled proxy_uwsgi for Apache and made a rough cut at a configuration for the lists.* subdomain in question but it's failing. What follows are the document's Nginx directives for which I would greatly appreciate the Apache2 equivalents. I'm attempting to move a mailing list off of Yahoo groups onto my hosted server using an Apache2's virtual host on the 'lists' subdomain: Setting up your web server: # Nginx configuration. location / { # First attempt to serve request as file, then proxy_pass http://172.19.199.3:8000; include uwsgi_params; uwsgi_read_timeout 300; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; } uwsgi: # Nginx configuration. location / { # First attempt to serve request as file, then uwsgi_pass 172.19.199.3:8080; include uwsgi_params; uwsgi_read_timeout 300; }

Data too long for column 'data' in workflowstate

I ran into this error attempting to add a user to a mailing list: (pymysql.err.DataError) (1406, "Data too long for column 'data' at row 1") [SQL: INSERT INTO workflowstate (token, step, data) VALUES (%(token)s, %(step)s, %(data)s)] [parameters: {'token': '7394fbf654b3faffc6a65eb95e0616eea6651b9e', 'step': 'do_confirm_verify', 'data': '{"pre_approved": false, "pre_confirmed": false, "pre_verified": false, "invitation": false, "address_key": "dorothyxxxxxxxx(a)gmail.com", "subscriber_key": 1, "user_key": "00201c01dcc443c3a0d8f6d1ea42e230", "token_owner_key": 1, "send_welcome_message": null}'}] In MySQL I see that column 'data' in workflowstate is VARCHAR(255), and the data in the query is 259 characters.

Importing config and archives only partially succeeded?
by Eric Broens 13 Dec '20

13 Dec '20

Today I have migrated about 30 mailinglists from mailman 2.1 to mailman 3.3.2 & Hyperkitty 1.3.3. Although no error responses were given when importing the 2.1 pck files, and neither for importing the archives, for about half of the mailinglists the hyperkitty webpage doesn't show any subscribers, nor archived emails. The imported members and other settings are correctly shown in the postorius page. Is there anything that I can verify why the archive is not shown on the hyperkitty page?The hyperkitty_email database table does contain the emails. Thanks in advance,Eric

troubleshooting hyperkitty
by Morris Jones 10 Dec '20

10 Dec '20

Working on a new installation -- lists seem to be working in terms of distributing postings. But none of the postings are appearing in an archive yet. I created a mailman-hyperkitty.cfg file in /opt/mailman/var/etc/. It has a base_url for the "hyperkitty installation," and I'm not sure where that's supposed to be. The comment says "This address will be used by Mailman to forward incoming emails to Hyperkitty for archiving." I set base_url to http://mailman.whiteoaks.com/hyperkitty (changing "localhost" from the example). It redirects to https:, I set new secret keys here and in mailman.cfg. No new posts appear, and nothing archive related shows up in mailman's log. The mailman qcluster is running. The runner=archive job is running. Can someone suggest a troubleshooting strategy?

Hyperkitty Recommended mySQL Database Setup & Archive Importing
by matthew＠alberti.us 10 Dec '20

10 Dec '20

Hi, I've been working for quite a while to setup a production mailman3. Using the docker containers, I have been pretty successful getting it to work. Part of the challenge now is that there are a lot of issues when importing archives from mailman2. This of course is more common on lists that are over 10 years old. From what I've been reading, it seems like Mailman3 expects the mysql database to use UTF8 encoding. It appears, by default, that when using the docker-mailman containers, that the character set is set to latin1. This may explain why there are lots of import errors, and maybe also why there are a lot of errors when threads are deleted in hyperkitty's UI. Is it the case that UTF8 is the preferred character set? I also saw some threads indicating that maybe utf8mb4 is more preferred. I'd like to try to change the character_set on the database, if that is advisable. Also, is Hyperkitty 1.3.4 officially released? I see that the list.org instance is using it, but the latest announce I've seen is for 1.3.3. Thanks. - Matt Alberti

I am very pleased with the new web interface and the rest api, but i miss the ability to moderate messages either by mail, with different reply addresses to discard, reject or accept hold messages or by html links with one time codes to achieve the same. I tried to reply on the mail attachment with the confirm ... subject, but that did not seem to work (neither reject nor accept with approved: placed into the first line of the mail). Best regards, Michael

Moderated Signup with "info" box?
by chris＠zimmerman.to 08 Dec '20

08 Dec '20

Hi all, we have a mailman deployment that we are using for a private neighborhood community board. We have the list setup for moderated approval signup. The trouble is, when someone signs up, we only get a request with their email address. I would like to be able to use the web form, but have a "notes" field that would get submitted with the signup request. the notes field would be where the user would note name/home address. So when one of our moderators get the request, they can figure out quick who the request is coming from. Can anyone provide some guidance or assistance on how to make that happen?

Spam getting in for moderated list
by Quanah Gibson-Mount 06 Dec '20

06 Dec '20

I have a list that has the following settings: List members -> Hold: This holds the message for approval by the list moderators. Non-subscribers -> Silent discard And yet, spam emails from a spammer that signed up to the list are going straight through and being delivered. Is this a known bug in mailman 3.2.1? Example: <https://lists.openldap.org/hyperkitty/list/openldap-bugs@openldap.org/threa…> It even has this list header: X-Mailman-Rule-Hits: member-moderation and version is X-Mailman-Version: 3.2.1 I think it was sent via the web interface? User-Agent: HyperKitty on https://lists.openldap.org/ I checked the settings for this subscribed spam user, and it specifically says "list default" for moderation, so it should have been moderated.

mailman-suite scheduled tasks
by Eric Broens 06 Dec '20

06 Dec '20

Hi, The documentation https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-web.html includes a section on scheduled tasks that need to be included in cron. "runjobs" seems to be available only from "manage.py". Do these scheduled tasks need to be executed from the python virtual environment?If so, is there a way to do that directly from cron, or should I create a script for these tasks which can be called from by cron?

Hi, when someone creates a new account (Sign Up), an email is sent to them to confirm their email address. It has the form below.

mailman3 OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION option
by Henry S 03 Dec '20

03 Dec '20

I am trying to change email "To" field to user's email instead of mailing list's email. e.g. "To: <user(a)gmail.com>" instead of "To: <mailman-users(a)mailman3.org>" I looked around old mailman configs they mentioned about adding OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION option in mm_cfg.py is this feature still available in mailman3 ? Can I do it via Postorius or REST API? Thanks.

Initial success: Mailman 3.3 integrated with Zimbra 8.8
by Morris Jones 02 Dec '20

02 Dec '20

I have a very old existing mail server running Zimbra 6 with a mailman 2.1 instance alongside. I needed to rebuild my mail server for some compelling reasons (the old server used outdated TLS protocol, I could no longer compile clamav, nothing could really be updated). The final straw was a lack of support for my old commercial SSL certificates. I patched in a letsencrypt certificate to get through the past six months. I'm in the process of commissioning a new mail server using an 8GB Linode, Ubuntu 18, Zimbra 8.8, and Mailman 3.3. A couple of days ago I had my first successful list creation, with user confirmation working by email. I have django running with uwsgi, and am using Zimbra's installed nginx proxy to reverse proxy http traffic to Postorius and Hyperkitty. Nginx is doing the SSL layer. The mailman core mta hooks are all done using Zimbra's "local configuration" technique. In theory I should be able to do Zimbra upgrades with a minimum of hassle. I've written up a "case history" of how it came together. I have a .rst file in a gitlab project here: https://gitlab.com/MojoLA/mailman3.3-zimbra-8.8-integration I suppose this is a crazy project, but it's worthwhile to me. (Mark, thank's so much for integrating the virtual domain maps. It took me about three days to recognize that they were the solution to bounced mails to list-owner@...) Now I can spend some time migrating my email accounts (only four) from the old server to the new one, and move a dozen or so mailing lists to the new mailman3 instance. I'll have to get accustomed to a new way to manage the mail lists, and already really like what I've seen. Thank you. :) Best regards, Mojo -- Morris Jones, Monrovia, CA BridgeMojo <http://bridgemojo.com> Old Town Sidewalk Astronomers <http://otastro.org> Mojo's Blog <http://mojo.whiteoaks.com>

12/24 hour clock ?
by Per Jessen 28 Nov '20

28 Nov '20

Hi all at openSUSE we have recently migrated to mailman3, and we seem to be having a couple of teething issues: a) hyperkitty and postorius both seem to insist on using a 12 hour clock format, no matter what the user has set. Is there a way of changing it system-wide ? b) overriding the default set of footers - despite having set the template "list:member:regular:footer" to empty for a specific list, I am still getting the default footers attached. We are using version 1.3.3. thanks Per Jessen

No styling for web apps?
by Morris Jones 27 Nov '20

27 Nov '20

I have most of a new mailman suite server built and working ... collectstatic gathered a good array of static files (uncompressed so far) nginx appears to be serving them successfully The Firefox developer tools show css and js files all being delivered But none of the postorius or hyperkitty pages exhibit any styling at all, only bare HTML elements. The Firefox inspector will show the available styles being requested and delivered (style.css, bootstrap, jquery, all the things). But if I use the inspector to look at the page, nothing has any CSS properties. I know I'm missing something simple. (Happy Thanksgiving!)

mailman 3.3.2 config file location
by Eric Broens 25 Nov '20

25 Nov '20

Hi, I am trying to install Mailman 3.3.2 in a python virtual environment, and don't understand why the following is happening.When executing "mailman info", it shows that "the config file is located in /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg as is intended, hence "outside" the virtual environment. However, after having started mailman, and running "mailman info" again, the default (empty) config files seems to be created in the directory where mailman has been started:config file: /opt/mailman/mailman-suite/mailman-suite_project/var/etc/mailman.cfg This happens even when mailman is started with the option "-C /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg".Does this mean that the config file needs to be located in a subdirectory of python's virtual environment?

Is it possible for a list admin to modify the welcome message for a list via Postorius? Is the process: 1. Log into Postorious 2. Click on the Templates tab. 3. Select New Template. 4. Select "The notice sent to a member when they are subscribed to the mailing list" 5. Add your text and click the save button. Is the correct process?

Moderation not working?

Hi Folks, Running a shiny new instance of mailman3, as per the Debian package (version 3.2.2) but the moderation doesn't seem to work. WE got hit by a heap of spammers overnight, even though the 'hold for moderation' bit is set for non-members (and now for members too). Emails seem just to get straight through. Any advice on how to debug this? Would upgrading to a later version using pip help? Peter C

How to strip DKIM headers on a domain level or a list level
by Stephen J. Turnbull 24 Nov '20

24 Nov '20

Rob Jenson writes: > I need to strip DKIM headers on the inbound messages to my list or > to my domain. Why do you need to strip DKIM headers? The standard specifies that an invalid DKIM signature must be treated the same as if there were no signature at all. So an invalid DKIM signature may be treated as spammier than a message with a valid signature, but that should not be treated differently from an unsigned message (as would appear after removing those header fields). I know this feature is in demand from list admins, but I've never seen convincing evidence that it's actually effective for any of the usual suspects (Yahoo!, AOL, Gmail), only for small domains with pigheaded admins who are proud of their non-conforming configurations, and announce that they are discarding messages which have invalid DKIM signatures. > What I do not understand from the documentation for Mailman 3 Core > is whether it is possible for my hosting service to set > remove_dkim_headers just for our domain. It currently is not possible. It probably could be made possible on a per-domain or per-list basis, but it's not clear to me why it would be useful to do so. If there really are non-conforming receivers out there, it's probably a good idea to strip host-wide. > If that is not possible, then the question becomes "is there a way, > in the list configuration, to strip the DKIM headers? It is possible, but that requires changing the list's processing pipeline to add that capability. I believe this is not difficult (I haven't done similar changes with Mailman 3 yet) but it does require the assistance of the host, and possibly imposes a future maintenance burden on the host. > We are munging the text of the message in Mailman, so the DKIM > headers from the original poster are invalid. As I explained above, both DKIM and DMARC are specified so that "no signature" == "invalid signature" for the purposes of spam processing. Are you sure that Yahoo! (or any other provider used by your subscribers) is treating invalid signatures differently from absence of signatures? The person responsible for Yahoo! MTA configuration is a well-known mail security expert who participated actively in the specification of all these protocols (and she also gave me a kitten, so I may be biased). > As far as I can see, our service provider is using ARC in our > Mailman configuration, but not signing the outbound messages with > DKIM. That surprises me. ARC isn't really a substitute for the MTA's own DKIM signature, at least not yet. > Therefore the DKIM signature from the poster's mail service > provider is sent out with their DKIM header, which seems to be > problematic. It shouldn't be. > If I understand ARC correctly, it is validating the DKIM signature > from the poster, creating a new signature and metadata indicating > that what it received was properly signed. That is correct. As far as I know, Yahoo! does participate in the ARC protocol and used to have conforming implementations of DKIM and DMARC. That doesn't mean you get a free ride: they may still have your IP on a blacklist from former owners of the IP, for example. Or your posts may "look like" spam for some other reason, or your lists may need more time to build up a clean reputation. But I need evidence more convincing than "list posts are recognized as spam" to believe that removing DKIM headers will help. (For example, my employer's filters regularly recognize messages from department heads as spam, even with DKIM signatures intact. ;-)

installation

I am working through installing mailman3 on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS / apache 2.4.41 / postfix 3.4.13 and have a couple of questions. I've installed Django, cloned the mailman-suite repo, installed and tested apache with Mod_wsgi [ according to https://tecadmin.net/install-apache-with-python-mod-wsgi-on-ubuntu-20-04/ ] and it worked fine. Now I am at 'Setting up a WSGI' server in the MM3 instructions where it says I am to configure uwsgi.ini file. Does that .ini file go in /opt/mailman/mailman where other .ini files reside? In setting up the apache virtual server [ according to https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/postorius/en/latest/deployment.html?highl ight=apache#apache-with-mod-wsgi ] I do not find a postorius.wsgi which WSGIScriptAlias points to.

mailman services under systemd

First post, I'm building a new mail server as my tired old server can no longer meet security requirements. (It's long overdue.) I see where Torge Riedel is running the mailman service under systemd, but I'm having trouble doing that. I don't see a mailman option that doesn't detach as a daemon. Did I miss something? Anyone have a systemd service example I might pilfer?

Reply w/Email Clients - From: vs. Reply-To:
by j＠manygoodideas.com 20 Nov '20

20 Nov '20

I'm setting up a new list, and a number of new list members are reporting a problem with replying to the thread. Their email clients seem to ignore the Reply-To: field and instead use from From: field. When they use Reply All, the email is addressed to both the From: and Reply-To:. Reading through previous threads here, I've tried a number of things: 1) DMARC mitigation action is "Replace From: with list address" 2) For Alter Messages - Set "Reply goes to list" The goal is that we want a reply to go to the list, not the person posting. Since Reply-To seems to be ignored by some clients, I'm hoping there's a way to force the "From" field to become the list address. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Moderation for nested mailing lists

20 Nov '20

Hi Everyone, I have a list that has other mailing lists as members. When a non-member posts to this list I receive a moderation message. After approving the moderation message I then receive a lot of other moderation messages for the sub-lists that are members of the "top-most" list (since the non-member is not a member of any of the sub-lists). Is there any way to approve a message for moderation once and have all sub-lists automatically approve the message? Thanks for your help with this and have a nice day! Peter

How can I allow members of list A to post to List B and vice versa
by mario.mailman3＠frese.online 19 Nov '20

19 Nov '20

Hi, I am trying to setup Mailman3 for our school. There I have several groups (teachers, parents) that have their own mailling lists. But it also should be possible that the parents can sent mails to the teachers list and vice versa. The manual management via the non-members list will be very inconvenient and the command-line options that I saw so far do not include the import of non-members (mailman syncmembers and mailman addmembers). The best option I would like to have is to enter the name of List A in the non-members of List B an vice versa. All those nonmembers should not need to be moderated. How can I manage this? I would be very glad for your ideas. Best Mario

Dealing with confirmation requests for unsubscribes

Hello List, I ran into the following issue for some mailman 3 lists that I am hosting: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/768 Since there is no way for a list owner to deal with a moderation request for an unsubscription task, I assume I need to do something via the command line. This is where I need some help with. How do I deal with these moderation requests that are unable to be reviewed in an admin gui (Postorius/Affinity)? I do recommend removing such choices for Postorius for Member policy. I will be doing this for Affinity until issue 768 is resolved. Thanks! -- Brian Carpenter Harmonylists.com Emwd.com

MIMEDefang to fix footers
by Ryan Morash 15 Nov '20

Does anyone know how to use MIMEDefang to fix the footer as attachment issue when using Mailman3? I've seen several guides/scripts referring to its use with Mailman2, but I'm unsure of how they would match with Mailman 3. Other ways of fixing this issue are also welcome.

digest summary heavily cluttered with hrml code
by Mohsen Masoudfar 11 Nov '20

11 Nov '20

Hi, I am running Mailman 3.1.1 on Ubuntu 18.04. The user complains that the digest summary is cluttered with HTML code. I thought, I may fix it by: Members > {user} > Member options > Delivery mode set to [Plain Text Digest]. After setting the value and clicking [save changes], I tried to check the value by getting back to Members setting for the user, it shows the value as "Regular", which was the value before I tried to update it. Question 1: How may I be sure that the value is set, if it is set? Question 2: How may set it for all members of the list? Question 3: Is there a CLI way to do this? I tried "mailman members " command. But it seems not supporting this option. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks Mohsen

How to Increase outgoing mail volume for Mailman 3
by Brian Carpenter 10 Nov '20

10 Nov '20

Hello everyone, We had a new client come on board that brought a list that had the largest out-going mail volume that I have ever dealt with. So I did what any sane server administrator would do that is running Mailman 3: I ran to Mark Sapiro for help! Here is what the Sage of all things Mailman counseled me to do: 1. Disabled VERP delivery. VERP can help improve mail delivery by delivering 1 message per SMTP transaction (I think I got that right). Using VERP is counter-productive as it can seriously delay outgoing mail delivery for a high-volume list. So you can use something like the following in the MTA section of your mailman.cfg: [mta] verp_confirmations: no verp_personalized_deliveries: no verp_delivery_interval: 0 2. I configured Mailman 3 to run 4 outgoing runners. The default is 1. This action was the game changer. It allows Mailman to handle 4 incoming messages at a time instead of 1. My client's incoming list volume was high enough where it was overwhelming the single outgoing runner. Here is what I added to the mailman.cfg file: [runner.out] instances: 4 Doing this step immediately solved the backlog in var/queue/out. 3. If you start up with a new server for a list that is high volume then keep an eye out for Proofpoint and Vade Security as they will block your new IP address quicker than Mark Sapiro can say "This is a bug. See <some Gitlab.com url>" Mark, thank you! -- Brian Carpenter Harmonylists.com Emwd.com

Hi, Where can I display the members list of a mailing list please? The setting of "Members List Visibility" is "Only mailing list members". So I guess that a member should be able to see the members list somewhere... I'm using Postorius 1.3.3 and Mailman 3.3.1. TIA for any help, -- Peter

Digest Formatting
by mailman＠manygoodideas.com 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

It appears that a digest is formatted as: list:member:digest:masthead 1. Thread 1 ... N. Thread N foreach thread list:member:digest:header thread list:member:digest:footer A number of my testers are complaining about the formatting: 1) it's hard to visually identify each of the threads (the TOC numbers them, but the numbers aren't shown next to each thread, for example) and 2) it's hard for a novice to know how to reply to a digest thread I'm wondering how other admins have customized their digests to make them more useful. For example, if there was a way in list:member:digest:header to display a link to the archived thread, that would be a good start. list:member:digest:header could emit a horizontal line to separate each thread, but it would be nice to be able to show the number of the thread, etc. Yahoo! Groups used to send out HTML digests that had the thread titles nicely distinguished, live links to the thread, and links to Reply to sender, Reply to All, etc. Thanks for any suggestions!

Member Issue Discovered
by Brian Carpenter 06 Nov '20

06 Nov '20

Hi Everyone, If I subscribed to a MM3 list with barn(a)emwd.com with the name of Barn Quilter. It shows up in the member roster. So far, so good. I then unsubscribe barn(a)emwd.com. It no longer shows up in the member roster. So far so good. I then resubscribe barn(a)emwd.com with either no name or Barn User and it shows up in the member roster as barn(a)emwd.com with the name of Barn Quilter. Is this a known bug and has been fixed with the latest release? -- Brian Carpenter Harmonylists.com Emwd.com

Subscription issue with ghost confirmations
by Brian Carpenter 01 Nov '20

01 Nov '20

I have a list owner who had his subscription policy set to confirm. Apparently that was too hard for his list members to handle so he changed it to moderate only. If someone sent a subscription request that needed to be confirm, did not respond to it, and then tried subscribing again after the member policy changed to moderate, their 2nd subscription attempt still shows up in the confirmation queue. Is that normal behavior. My understanding is it is. Please let me know if I am wrong here. The real mystery here is when someone tried subscribing again (listname-subscribe@listdomain) hours after the subscription policy was changed to moderate and they still showed up in the confirm queue. How is that possible? I tested the list with two of my addresses and both showed up in the moderation queue as expected. As far as I can tell from the mailman logs, this was the person's first attempt at subscribing. -- Brian Carpenter Harmonylists.com Emwd.com

Internal Server Error on installing Mailman 3 using PIP
by Shashikanth Komandoor 28 Oct '20

28 Oct '20

Dear Mark, As you have suggested in my earlier issue, I have implemented the latest stable version of mailman 3 through the URL https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#virtualenv-inst… . But after the installation through the above URL, when I tried running the command *elinks http://localhost:8000/postorius/lists <http://localhost:8000/postorius/lists>* or *elinks http://localhost:8000/admin <http://localhost:8000/admin>*, I got the error as *Internal Server Error*. I don't find any specific log in mailman.log or in mailmansuite.log. Is there any way to solve this issue ? -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936

Hi Team, I am currently running Mailman 3 with version 3.3.2rc2 and in built postfix version 2.10.1-6 on RHEL 7.5 with PostgreSQL 11.9 version with default values.

Cron error
by gordon＠dickens.com 25 Oct '20

I recently upgraded to mailman3 on two Debian servers and I am getting a cron error periodically sent to me as depicted below. It looks like a permission problem, however, /var/lib/mailman3/locks and /var/lib/mailman3/* all have user = "list" and group = "list" and the cron job runs as user = "list" so I don't quite understand why I am getting these errors. Hopefully, someone might reply with what the problem is.

migration from 2.1 - owners and moderators
by Alex Schuilenburg 25 Oct '20

25 Oct '20

We're migrating from 2.1 to 3.2.1 and an odd issue has popped up. It may be something different in the way mailman3 works, or a misconfiguration on my part. Most of the lists migrated so far don't have moderators, just owners. However, when these lists have messages requiring moderation, the owners dont get notified of held messages - unlike 2.1 where they did. Is this a change or is there something I am missing in the configuration? I have the minute/quarterly/hourly etc cron jobs running, although I have had to tune down the frequency of minute to hourly as it takes 6.5 minutes to run* - but I doubt this is the cause. While for the moment I have found the held messages in files in /var/lib/mailman3/messages and figured out which lists are in need of attention (and notified the owners), it seems I may have to do a bit of coding myself to walk through the lists and notify owners when their list is in need of attention. There must surely be something that does this already - or is this moderators only in mailman3? Guidance appreciated. Thanks -- Alex * From the list I realise this is because I am still using the default whoosh backend to haystack and need urgently to switch to xapian or solr, but the info on how to get this working for a noob like me is unfortunately lacking :-(

How to get Hyperkitty to show actual sender e-mail addresses?
by Hans-Martin Mosner 24 Oct '20

24 Oct '20

Hi, I'd like to show actual sender e-mail addresses (basically to block spammers sending to a list that is used as a contact address, so it has no moderation for non-member postings). Hyperkitty just show the display name, which not very informative. Is there a setting to change this behavior? I did not find any using internet search and sifting through the various config files, but I could easily have missed something. Cheers, Hans-Martin

Alias Domains in postfix_domains wrong way around?
by Hans-Martin Mosner 24 Oct '20

24 Oct '20

Hi, we have an "Unusual Postfix configuration" and use "Alias Domains" to work around. However, it looks like "mailman aliases" generates the postfix_domains map the wrong way around, resulting in postfix "Relay access denied" errors for mails received from outside. Didn't notice at first since I tried locally of course. Is my understanding correct that postfix_domains should have the true (externally visible) domains as keys, and values that basically don't matter, or should it have both the real domains and their alias names as keys? With such a convoluted setup, my brain twists a little. For now, I'm listing the real domains explicitly, that seems to work for the local and non-local cases. Cheers, Hans-Martin

Unsubscribe Notifications to List Owners and Members
by Brian Carpenter 22 Oct '20

22 Oct '20

It seems that the only time an unsubscribe notification is sent to a list owner and/or list member is when a list member sends an email to lisname-unsubscribe@listdomain and that list member is not registered with Affinity/Postorius. Can anyone confirm this and if confirmed, is this considered a bug? -- Brian Carpenter Harmonylists.com Emwd.com

If you set the unsubscription policy to confirm then moderate for a list and someone unsubscribes, they receive a confirmation request. That is good. They respond to it. That is also working fine. However the list owner/moderator than gets a request to approve the unsubscribe request and well, unless I am missing something, I don't see an interface to handles such requests via Postorius. How does one handle an unsubscribe request that requires moderator approval? -- Brian Carpenter Harmonylists.com Emwd.com

debian's 3.2.1 mailman package too unreliable in production - Mail held occasionally causes server errors, and unexplained queue/bad messages -
by Alex Schuilenburg 21 Oct '20

21 Oct '20

We have an issue where a mailing list has had a message sent to it from a non-member, so the message has been held, but when the list owner or I attempt to list the held messages for the list we get a Server Error: "An error occurred while processing your request.". I see the mail being held in the mailman log with the non-subscriber reason, and followed the suggestions in https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… which worked to look at and discard that held message. The problem is, there are more and we have over 900 mailing lists FYI, we are running:Mailman Core VersionGNU Mailman 3.2.1 (La Villa Strangiato)Mailman Core API Version3.0Mailman Core Python Version3.7.3 (default, Jul 25 2020, 13:03:44) [GCC 8.3.0] So we are looking at setting up a virtualenv to run the latest mailman3 3.3.1 as the 3.2.1 package from debian is looking unstable - barely usable. For example, while poking around I found 641 messages in queue/bad , but when I inspect them they look fine. If, as mentioned elsewhere, I rename them to .pck, put them in queue/shunt, and "mailman unshunt" the mail finally gets delivered. Why work now? Some kind of transient bug? Is 3.3.1 the way to go? On that last error, I've now enabled debug and hope to catch why messages are being dropped into queue/bad instead of being delivered. Already I have found errors in the mailman log such as: PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman3/queue/out/1603233694.919073+d907eb9512ce11fda515c19d 723537fc4cb15da2.pck'Oct 20 23:41:35 2020 (9793) Skipping and preserving unparseable message: 1603233694.919073+d907eb9512ce11fda515c19d723537fc4cb15da2Oct 20 23:41:35 2020 (9787) Uncaught runner exception: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman3/queue/archive/1603233694.9209244+a0c1f3aab51d3d202aa 37911ab453f094b50b450.pck'Oct 20 23:41:35 2020 (9793) Uncaught runner exception: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman3/queue/out/1603233694.9260252+138142eeb15b16b5da16934 954d1d3aeb1331198.pck'Oct 20 23:41:35 2020 (9793) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist- packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 158, in _one_iteration msg, msgdata = self.switchboard.dequeue(filebase) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/core/switchboard.py", line 150, in dequeue with open(filename, 'rb') as fp:PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman3/queue/out/1603233694.9260252+138142eeb15b16b5da16934 954d1d3aeb1331198.pck'Oct 20 23:41:35 2020 (9790) Uncaught runner exception: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman3/queue/in/1603233694.9129462+8be9ab12e5dfeab086a1ab8b 3917550aea313505.pck'Oct 20 23:41:35 2020 (9793) Skipping and preserving unparseable message: 1603233694.9260252+138142eeb15b16b5da16934954d1d3aeb1331198Oct 20 23:41:35 2020 (9793) Uncaught runner exception: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman3/queue/out/1603233694.9269004+5f8572edfb07e0e28b9f0b7 928a1184b8c8048ba.pck'Oct 20 23:41:35 2020 (9793) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist- packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 158, in _one_iteration msg, msgdata = self.switchboard.dequeue(filebase) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/core/switchboard.py", line 150, in dequeue with open(filename, 'rb') as fp:PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman3/queue/out/1603233694.9269004+5f8572edfb07e0e28b9f0b7 928a1184b8c8048ba.pck'Oct 20 23:41:35 2020 (9793) Skipping and preserving unparseable message: 1603233694.9269004+5f8572edfb07e0e28b9f0b7928a1184b8c8048ba The mailman3 user, "list", owns and has full rights all the way down: # ls -ld /var/lib/mailman3/queue/*drwxrwx--- 2 list list 4096 Oct 21 01:45 /var/lib/mailman3/queue/archivedrwxrwx--- 2 list list 77824 Oct 21 00:15 /var/lib/mailman3/queue/baddrwxrwx--- 2 list list 4096 Oct 19 10:44 /var/lib/mailman3/queue/bouncesdrwxrwx--- 2 list list 4096 Oct 5 17:18 /var/lib/mailman3/queue/commanddrwxrwx--- 2 list list 4096 Oct 21 00:00 /var/lib/mailman3/queue/digestdrwxrwx--- 2 list list 4096 Oct 21 00:20 /var/lib/mailman3/queue/indrwxrwx--- 2 list list 4096 Aug 11 18:44 /var/lib/mailman3/queue/nntpdrwxrwx--- 2 list list 4096 Oct 21 01:45 /var/lib/mailman3/queue/outdrwxrwx--- 2 list list 4096 Oct 21 01:45 /var/lib/mailman3/queue/pipelinedrwxrwx--- 2 list list 4096 Aug 11 18:44 /var/lib/mailman3/queue/retrydrwxrwx--- 2 list list 69632 Oct 21 01:45 /var/lib/mailman3/queue/shuntdrwxrwx--- 2 list list 4096 Oct 21 00:20 /var/lib/mailman3/queue/virgin so I'm kinda running out of options why this particular problem is happening.

Wrong info in moderation mail when held due to match of a header rule
by Torge Riedel 18 Oct '20

18 Oct '20

Hi, today I got the first time a moderation mail for a mail which was held due to a match of a header rule: The message is being held because: Header "Yes" matched a header rule At your convenience, visit your dashboard to approve or deny the request. I think this is wrong, it should read 'Header "x-spam" matched a header rule'. Cause the header rule is configured for header "x-spam" and pattern "Yes". I haven't found a bug report for this yet on gitlab. If someone of the developers confirm this is wrong, I will file a bug on gitlab for it. Kind regards Torge

Adding members to a mailman3 mailing list
by Onyeibo Oku 17 Oct '20

17 Oct '20

Greetings I am testing mailman3 on Fedora Linux (32 and Rawhide). I installed it from the distribution's repositories and I am following the documentation at https://docs.mailman3.org/ I have created a mailing list on my instance but for I am unable to add members to it. Please, consider the following session: COMMAND: sudo -u mailman mailman3 lists OUTPUT: 1 matching mailing lists found: list(a)example.com COMMAND: sudo -u mailman mailman3 members --add members.txt list(a)example.com OUTPUT: usage: mailman members [OPTIONS] LISTSPEC Try 'mailman members -h' for help. Error: Invalid value for '--add' / '-a': Could not open file: members.txt: Permission denied When I try to use '-' instead of passing a file, I find no intuitive way to exit the standard input. What kind of permission is mailman expecting on the input file? I have tried changing ownership to the mailman user -- same output still. How does one use standard input to add members conclusively? Much regards Onyeibo

Hyperkitty fulltext search performances
by Loïc Dachary 04 Oct '20

04 Oct '20

Hi, I'm in the process of importing a large number of mbox (~30,000) for a few hundred mailing lists. So far around 300,000 mails (~12GB) were imported from two mailing lists. The hyperkitty_import process took ~8 hours and created a 10GB MySQL database. The update_index_one_list for the two lists took a total of ~72 hours and created a ~2GB worth of index in /var/lib/mailman3/web/fulltext_index, which is consistent with the fact that there are lot of attachments (probably 10GB out of 12GB). When I search for one word via the full text search web interface, it takes around 30 seconds to complete (even when repeated twice) and I can see the process grow to use up to 6GB of resident memory. It is running on a recent physical machine with decent IO and a Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2609 v2 @ 2.50GHz. Is this consistent with other people experience?

Mailman3 not delivering list mail
by Gordon Dickens 02 Oct '20

02 Oct '20

Hello, I have a fresh mailman3 installation that I recently upgraded from mailman2 on a debian system.Â In any event, I imported some test lists and tested my installation thoroughly and everything seemed to be working fine.Â Then, today, I imported a important live working mailing list from mailman2 and everything appeared to go well both with the import of the list addresses and the archives.Â However, when I sent out the first post on Mailman3 the post was not echoed to the list members.Â Then, I subsequently discovered that the queue had lots of mail undelivered in /var/lib/mailman3/queue/bad. It appears that my mailman3 installation has stopped delivering list mail and that all of the list mail is stuck in /var/lib/mailman3/queue/bad. How do I resolve this situation?Â Can I just remove the files with "rm *" in the /var/lib/mailman3/queue/bad directory?Â Please let me know what I should do to get things working again. Thanks, Gordon

Various patches for mm3 stable 3.3.1
by Ruth Ivimey-Cook 30 Sep '20

30 Sep '20

Folks, For my own purposes I have created some patches which apply to the current mailman pip package. The first of them is for my purposes necessary, and has been discussed here before: being able to specify the address used to listen for tcp connections independently of the address the server considers it to be accessible at. A possible change to this patch would be to check whether this address was undefined but the old hostname was defined, and use that if so. For me this is not needed, and in any case it is a trivial change to make. The second patch adds a bunch of additional logging calls to various network-related parts of the package. I wrote these into the package because I was seeking the cause of template expansion causing messages to be silently dropped. I eventually found the cause was that I had an incorrect setting of the template root URL, but I regard the lack of anything in the logs as just as much of a bug. One important part of those changes was that I added a try/catch around two parts of the 'decorate' code, which is where the silent dropping occurred. If you only take one part of this patch, I encourage you to take this part. For the third patch, I discovered that the task runner was at one point busy-waiting to the tune of 100% cpu, and the cause was the way that the runner checked to see if there was work left in the queue. I am not quite sure what was the exact problem, but I think it was that there was something to do, but it was not achievable at that time, and the result was continual retry. The third patch changes the logic slightly so that this no longer occurs - retry will happen, but somewhat more gracefully. I hope you find some use in these three. Finally, I am currently experiencing problems with templates and would appreciate any thoughts: 1. If I do not set up 'individual' or 'full' personalisation, all is well and the default footer templates are expanded as expected. However setting up personalisation causes template expansion to fail completely, and messages get sent with a blank expansion. 2. I would find the postorius UI much easier to cope with if the default template was 'populated' into the UI wherever it was non-blank, rather than the UI starting off as if no templates were defined at all. Regards, Ruth

Hi Everyone, I am pleased to announce new stable releases for: - Postorius: 1.3.3 Changelog: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/postorius/en/latest/news.html#id1 Download: https://pypi.org/project/postorius/1.3.3/ - Hyperkitty: 1.3.3 Changelog: https://hyperkitty.readthedocs.io/en/latest/news.html#id1 Download: https://pypi.org/project/HyperKitty/1.3.3rc1/ - Mailmanclient: 3.3.1 Changelog: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailmanclient/en/latest/src/mailmanclien… Download: https://pypi.org/project/mailmanclient/3.3.1/ - Django-mailman3: 1.3.3 Changelog: https://gitlab.com/mailman/django-mailman3/-/blob/master/README.rst Download: https://pypi.org/project/django-mailman3/1.3.3 Python 3.6+ and Django 2.0+ is supported for all of them. Django 3.0 support for Hyperkitty requires manually upgrading a dependency (django-haystack>=3.0b2, once a stable version of this has been released, it shouldn't require manually upgrading). There are tons of bug-fixes across the board and some new features. Biggest visible change is switch to Bootstrap 4, which has been long pending for us. Bootstrap 4 completely changes the CSS grid model using the new Flexbox. There might be some small changes or breakages when using on mobile. Please report such issues to us via Gitlab! Some other notable changes are in Postorius, which includes many more list settings exposed include content filtering settings, bounce processing (which was added in the previous release of Mailman Core) settings and some other ones. Settings page is also slightly different with all the sections on the vertical menu on left instead of horizontal tabs. You can now also specify a reason when rejecting held messages. There was also a gnarly bug, which caused the name of some members to be the string "None". For the longest time, I couldn't figure out the reason for it, but it ended up being a simple fix in mailmanclient's json serialization of display_name, which would result in Python's None value being passed as string "None" to Mailman's API for subscription. There is also better support for filtering visible lists based on the current vhost, which I see a few people are already waiting for from mailman-users list. A full changelog has been added to each project in the top. -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

My Server is unable to connect to Mailman REST API few times
by Shashikanth Komandoor 24 Sep '20

24 Sep '20

Hi Team, I am currently running Mailman 3 with version 3.3.1 and in built postfix version 2.10.1-6 on RHEL 7.5 with PostgreSQL 11.7 version with default values in production environment from the past 4 months almost. As of now, we are having around 1327 lists created on this. When I am trying to do some operations like creating the lists, deleting the lists or accessing the lists through the GUI, I am getting the below error. If I am trying to do the operations through API or through mailman shell, still I am not able to connect to the API. Something went wrong Mailman REST API not available. Please start Mailman core. But my mailman core was working fine in the background. At the same time I was able to do other operations on a few other lists. By the time I am getting the above error, the mailman.log recorded the below messages. *[2020-09-16 12:49:08 +0530] [2600] [CRITICAL] WORKER TIMEOUT (pid:20234)* *[2020-09-16 12:49:08 +0530] [20234] [INFO] Worker exiting (pid: 20234)* *[2020-09-16 12:49:09 +0530] [21042] [INFO] Booting worker with pid: 21042* My mailman.cfg configuration is as below. The timeout value is the default value. I did not set any customized value. *(venv3) [root@lsmgr mailman]# grep -v ^# /var/lib/mailman/mailman/var/etc/mailman.cfg* *[archiver.hyperkitty]* *class: mailman_hyperkitty.Archiver* *enable: yes* *configuration: /var/lib/mailman/mailman-hyperkitty/mailman-hyperkitty.cfg* *[mta]* *incoming: mailman.mta.postfix.LMTP* *outgoing: mailman.mta.deliver.deliver* *lmtp_host: 0.0.0.0* *lmtp_port: 8024* *smtp_host: localhost* *smtp_port: 25* *[webservice]* *workers: 10* *[database]* *class: mailman.database.postgresql.PostgreSQLDatabase* *url: postgres://<postgresdbuser>:<postgresdbpassword>@127.0.0.1/mailman <http://127.0.0.1/mailman>* Then as per the suggestion I got earlier I configured the [webservice] section in the above file as below. *[webservice]* *configuration: /var/lib/mailman/mailman/var/etc/gunicorn.cfg* * [root@lsmgr logs]# cat /var/lib/mailman/mailman/var/etc/gunicorn.cfg* *[gunicorn]* *workers = 10* *timeout = 90 * After the above configuration, I found many errors like below in mailman.log file: *sqlalchemy.exc.NoSuchColumnError: "Could not locate column in row for column 'pended.id <http://pended.id>'"* *sqlalchemy.exc.ResourceClosedError: This result object does not return rows. It has been closed automatically.* *sqlalchemy.exc.DatabaseError: (psycopg2.DatabaseError) error with status PGRES_TUPLES_OK and no message from the libpq* The above might be few of the errors. FYI, for the creation of each list, it is taking almost around 15 to 20 minutes. After multiple times of the above error messages, at some time, I am fortunately getting the list created or some other operation getting done. I found the same scenario when the workers are from default 2 to 10. I don't understand where exactly I need to focus to solve the issue. Please let me know if I have to share any other details for you to suggest to me. -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936 <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

Missing whitespace in postfix_vmap after mailman genaliases
by Wolfgang Bock 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

Hi, after creating a new list I got the following errormessage: mailman aliases -> postmap: warning: /var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_vmap, line 17: expected format: key whitespace value /var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_vmap # AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED BY MAILMAN ON 2020-09-19 07:44:34 .... xxxxxxxxxxx(a)lists.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.de xxxxxxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxxxxxxxx.de xxxxxxxxxxx-bounces(a)lists.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.de xxxxxxxxxxx-bounces(a)xxxxxxxxxxxxx.de xxxxxxxxxxx-confirm(a)lists.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.de xxxxxxxxxxx-confirm(a)xxxxxxxxxxxxx.de xxxxxxxxxxx-join(a)lists.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.de xxxxxxxxxxx-join(a)xxxxxxxxxxxxx.de xxxxxxxxxxx-leave(a)lists.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.de xxxxxxxxxxx-leave(a)xxxxxxxxxxxxx.de xxxxxxxxxxx-owner(a)lists.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.de xxxxxxxxxxx-owner(a)xxxxxxxxxxxxx.de xxxxxxxxxxx-request(a)lists.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.de xxxxxxxxxxx-request(a)xxxxxxxxxxxxx.de xxxxxxxxxxx-subscribe(a)lists.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.de xxxxxxxxxxx-subscribe(a)xxxxxxxxxxxxx.de xxxxxxxxxxx-unsubscribe@lists.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.dexxxxxxxxxxx-unsubscribe@xxx xxxxxxxxxx.de The last line in the left part contains 48 chars. I solved the problem by adding a whitespace in the last line and I made a new postmap for postfix_vmap. But it would be better to solve the problem by changing the genaliases process in the next update. Regards Wolfgang

Re: cc'd e-mail addresses rewritten with @invalid.domain

Hi Mark, Thanks for the help with this! Other list members will also see the e-mail as coming from user(a)invalid.domain<mailto:user@invalid.domain>.

For example in the scenario above my e-mail that is cc'd is also a member of listserv(a)lists.test.org<mailto:listserv@lists.test.org>. In this case, where do you see this? i.e., do other list members see it in the message they receive from the list? I don't know why that would be. I'm certain that Mailman is not involved in this and the Williams(a)invalid.domain and Peter(a)invalid.domain addresses are in the Cc: as received by Mailman. > This issue does not occur if the user e-mail address is listed before the mailing list in the cc field.

Mails are not archived at all -- how to check if Hyperkitty is running or not?
by Franklin Weng 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

Hi, I set up the mailman3 services and lists, and we can send mail to the list successfully. However in the Archive section I couldn't see anything and all the lists were "inactive" and hence were hidden by default. I confirmed that api_key set in the /etc/mailman3/mailman-hyperkitty.cfg and /etc/mailman3/mailman-web.py is the same. I also confirmed that the apache2 wsgi module has been loaded. In the mailman.cfg database is set to mysql and in the mailman-web.py database is set to sqlite3. Does it matter? I tried to search but couldn't find any further information or discussion about this. There is no systemd service for Hyperkitty. How can I check if Hyperkitty is running or not? Thanks, Franklin

API timeout for one list

I apologize, because I think this was talked about before, but I could not find it in the archives. For one list, the REST API times out. Doesn’t seem to matter which page I try to go to.

Problem with list creation
by Pawel Grzywaczewski 22 Sep '20

22 Sep '20

Hi, We want to create thousand of lists. We use a simple curl command curl --user restadmin:restpass -X POST http://localhost:8001/3.1/lists -d fqdn_listname=nameOfTheList(a)example.com After creating ~2k of them we started getting errors in Mailman logs: ``` [2020-09-16 17:11:10 +0200] [4564] [DEBUG] POST /3.1/lists [2020-09-16 17:11:41 +0200] [1339] [CRITICAL] WORKER TIMEOUT (pid:4564) [2020-09-16 17:11:41 +0200] [4564] [INFO] Worker exiting (pid: 4564) [2020-09-16 17:11:41 +0200] [5019] [INFO] Booting worker with pid: 5019 ``` Since then creation fails in most cases. We increased timeout in mailman.cfg ``` [gunicorn] workers: 4 timeout: 900 ``` And we increased timeout in nginx ``` http { # MODIF UNICORN proxy_connect_timeout 300s; proxy_read_timeout 300s; # MODIF UNICORN ``` Where might be the problem? How to start investigating and fix it? Thanks, Paweł

cc'd e-mail addresses rewritten with @invalid.domain
by peterbw＠gmail.com 22 Sep '20

22 Sep '20

Hi, We've recently noticed an issue where users who are cc'd in a message where a mailing list is also within the cc list are getting rewritten a user(a)invalid.domain. This issue looks like it may be related to Outlook and how user names are displayed specifically. Here is an example: To: test_user(a)gmail.com cc: listserv(a)lists.test.org; Williams, Peter; "Williams, Peter" maps to a user e-mail in the Outlook Global Address book. When the message is sent the list will send the message with the first name and last name separated, for example the message will appear: to: test_user(a)gmail.com cc: listserv(a)lists.test.org, Williams(a)invalid.domain, Peter(a)invalid.domain This only seems to happen with users who are cc'd who are also members of the list that is being cc'd. For example in the scenario above my e-mail that is cc'd is also a member of listserv(a)lists.test.org. This issue does not occur if the user e-mail address is listed before the mailing list in the cc field. So for example, if the cc in the scenario above contained Williams, Peter; listserv(a)lists.test.org; it would route properly. Do you know what may be causing this? Please let me know if there is any additional information I may provide regarding this and I will try to respond as soon as possible. Thanks and have a nice day! Peter

Template path
by Seth Seeger 21 Sep '20

21 Sep '20

Hello everyone, I’m running Mailman from Docker containers, without much customization. (Postorius 1.3.3, Core 3.3.1, API 3.1, Python 3.8.5). I’ve created a list:user:notice:welcome template, and when I try to confirm a subscription, I get an error. I followed previous emails on this list which told me to set POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL in /opt/mailman/web/settings_local.py, but that doesn’t seem to make any difference. (I set it to a different value and the error message didn’t change. I also tried setting it in /opt/mailman/core/settings_local.py to no effect.

Redundant and load balanced Mailman3
by Pawel Grzywaczewski 20 Sep '20

20 Sep '20

Hi, Can someone share some hints about how to deploy redundant and load balanced Mailman3? What are your recommendations and best practices? For example what components to put on the same VM? Can we have 2VM with Mailman core/Postorious/Hyperkitty/django-mailman/mailmanclient connecting to one (the same) database? How to load balance mail routing (incoming)? Thanks! Paweł

Bad Signature with Gmail
by Massimo Zappalà 19 Sep '20

19 Sep '20

Hi everyone, if I write a my lists from other email address I get the correct message: opendkim[23516]: 8EEE440FFD: DKIM-Signature field added (s=mailselector, d=catania.linux.it). While if I write to a my lists from email address Gmail, on opendkim I get the following messages: opendkim[23516]: BA95241952: no signing table match for 'maszap69(a)gmail.com' opendkim[23516]: BA95241952: s=20161025 d=gmail.com SSL error:04091068:rsa routines:int_rsa_verify:bad signature opendkim[23516]: BA95241952: bad signature data The message is received regularly by all members of the list. I also receive an email at superuser: [Django] ERROR (EXTERNAL IP): Internal Server Error: /hyperkitty/api/mailman/archive Internal Server Error: /hyperkitty/api/mailman/archive OperationalError at /hyperkitty/api/mailman/archive (1366, "Incorrect string value: '\\xF0\\x9F\\x98\\xB1\\xF0\\x9F...' for column `mailman3web`.`hyperkitty_email`.`content` at row 1") ... If I check with mail-tester I get 10/10 If I check with dmarcanalyzer I get "This seems to be a valid DKIM Record." I don't understand where the problem is. Could anyone tell me how to solve? Thank you in advance Max

Can creating too many Django accounts crash Mailman3 server?
by Mohsen Masoudfar 19 Sep '20

19 Sep '20

Hi, It seems anybody can go to the site: https://LISTSERVNAME/mailman3/postorius/lists/ and click on the [Sign up] on the top-right corner and create an account. This can easily be automated, even though the next step, confirming the email address, being ignored. I believe it can be used as a target for a DOS attack by creating so many accounts, that eventually causes an 'out of space' error. Is this a justified concern? Is there a way to manage this feature in a secure way? Best regards Mohsen Masoudfar Lead System Analyst, IT Operation American Association for the Advancement of Science 1200 New York Ave, NW, Washington, DC 20005 202-326-7087

Re-send subscription response and file permission error in queue
by accounts-mailman＠holbrook.no 15 Sep '20

15 Sep '20

A user sent subscription request to the `..-join@` address of a list. Email domain wasn't set up properly, so response got rejected. Now, if the user tries to send another request, no reponse comes back. In the log I find a python stack trace saying subscription already pending. ``` Sep 08 10:32:44 2020 (19918) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 171, in _one_iteration self._process_one_file(msg, msgdata) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 264, in _process_one_file keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/runners/command.py", line 196, in _dispose mlist, msg, msgdata, parts, results) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/commands/eml_membership.py", line 104, in process ISubscriptionManager(mlist).register(subscriber) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/app/subscriptions.py", line 520, in register list(workflow) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/app/workflow.py", line 69, in __next__ return step() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/app/subscriptions.py", line 227, in _step_sanity_checks raise SubscriptionPendingError(self.mlist, self.address.email) mailman.interfaces.subscriptions.SubscriptionPendingError ``` Furthermore I am getting a permission denied error in the attempt of shunting the message, which I don't quite understand because the folder has user `list` group `list` and `700` mode: ``` Sep 08 10:25:29 2020 (19918) SHUNTING: 1599553529.9889646+88be5afa0bf3111a83e68cc97ce2000723ad93fd Sep 08 10:29:49 2020 (19918) Uncaught runner exception: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman3/queue/command/1599553789.306307+6fee74af69263553b5ffd0e73cc095ab651bd855.pck' Sep 08 10:29:49 2020 (19918) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 156, in _one_iteration msg, msgdata = self.switchboard.dequeue(filebase) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/core/switchboard.py", line 150, in dequeue with open(filename, 'rb') as fp: PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman3/queue/command/1599553789.306307+6fee74af69263553b5ffd0e73cc095ab651bd855.pck' ``` How can I remove the pending subscription, or re-send the response email?

Mailman3 throws 500 error (unicode encode) when loading held messages in Postorius
by Simon Handfield 14 Sep '20

14 Sep '20

Hi, I have been working through other threads that indicate the same symptom (500 error when loading held_messages for a list).

How to set the original sender to the Reply-To?

Hi everybody, I have a settings problem. Mailman adds the original sender to the Reply-To or Cc in the case where there's a reply to setting in force on the list.

Failed first login
by Massimo Zappalà 11 Sep '20

11 Sep '20

Hi everyone, i installed mailman3-full on debian 10. During installation, it asks me to enter the admin user credentials. After configuration, I restart mailman3 and mailman3-web. When I try to log in for the first time by entering the admin credentials, a message warns me that the credentials are incorrect. I looked at the mailman logs, but I find nothing. It seems that it is a django authentication problem, because even in the django admin panel I can't log in. Looking at the mailman3web db, in the auth_user table, I see the admin user. How can I see why it does not accept the credentials? Thank you in advance

Messages disappearing into hole??
by Ruth Ivimey-Cook 11 Sep '20

11 Sep '20

Folks, I have been trying to set up a mailing list that is mostly for message distribution, so there is a single sender of messages and multiple receivers, but the receivers are moderated. I wouldn't mind receiver messages being explicitly rejected but that's not an issue for now. I looked around the interface and decided to set up the sender as a non-member, as that appeared to permit them to be "special" and outside of the normal access rules for the list. Before I did that I could send a message from this sender and that would be sent to me as list owner for moderation, so both incoming (from my mailserver) and outgoing (to it) can be completed. However, with a non-member who is auto-accepted the message is passed from my mailserver to mailman and then disappears. I cannot find anything in the logs to indicate what happened next. I have tried setting the default non-member policy to both 'hold' and 'default' with no change in that behaviour. The logs for the mailserver show the message being sent to mailman; mailman's "smtp.log" shows an LMTP message being received ok, and then nothing. Any ideas how to find out what is going on? I can share config if that helps but not sure what would be useful. As a side-issue, at one point I added a regex matching the sender address to the acceptable members list, but find that I cannot now delete it (using postorius): If I delete the field and Save, it returns on page refresh.

Hello everyone, I hope my questions don't sound ridiculous. In my team, I have been tasked with moving our mailman installations from version 1:2.1 to the current version, mailman3. I followed the documentations online and installed all the components, created a Django project and configured settings.py and url.py. However, when I run the development server, I receive the following on the body of Postorius main page: Page not found This page either doesn't exist, or it moved somewhere else.

Struggling with log rotation in Docker context
by skenny＠scss.tcd.ie 05 Sep '20

05 Sep '20

I'm running Mailman 3 via maxking's Docker implementation, and had an incident recently where something went badly wrong, and the file uwsgi-error.log filled up. As a consequence, so did the file system where that file resides,and things ground to a halt. The file is visible on the Docker host as /opt/mailman/web/logs/uwsgi-error.log. I am unsure about how to rotate this file correctly. I could use logrotate on the host, but I can't locate any documentation that describes how to signal the relevant processes inside the mailman-web container. (Maybe this should be done within the container?) I'd be grateful for any good advice on this. Stephen

mailman procesing small amount of mail, then stop process them like 30 seconds, and then loop back
by mathias.bedu＠epitech.eu 04 Sep '20

04 Sep '20

Hi, I am currently trying to optimize my mailman installation, which is working. The only issue is that i see that mailman seems to process a few number of messages (around 50 each times), then stopping, and then processing few next messages. I spend quite some times searching for eventual parameters that could slow down. I precise that the machine itself is largely more powerful than what mailman is using. So my question is : could you give me some leads for potentials parameters or stuff like this that i could modify to optimize the installation ? Best regards, Mathias

Unsubscribe Notifications Clarification
by Brian Carpenter 03 Sep '20

03 Sep '20

I am trying to understand how Mailman 3 handles unsubscribe notifications. From my testing I see the following behavior: 1. If list member sends email to listname-leave@listname, an unsubscribe notification is sent to both list owner and list member if list settings have them enabled. 2. If list list member is a registered user of Postorius and he uses Postorius to unsubscribe, then no notification is sent out to either list owner or list member, even if list settings has unsubscribe notifications enabled. Is this correct? Brian

Timeout in Postorius when trying to approve or reject moderated messages
by Sebastian Hagedorn 30 Aug '20

30 Aug '20

Hi, I just set up a new Mailman 3 Suite installation (GNU Mailman 3.3.1 (Tom Sawyer)) on CentOS 7 using the virtualenv installation guide: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html I encountered a few issues, but I was able to resolve all of them, I think. All three components of the suite are up and running. The backend is a MariaDB database, the frontend is Apache with mod_wsgi. I can send messages to the server, and they are delivered to list members. One thing that I can't figure out is why I can't approve or reject messages that are held for moderation. In case it matters, I'm trying to moderate the list using the "root" account. Discarding works, but when I try to either accept or reject a message, there is a timeout. I can't find anything in mailman.log, mailmansuite.log or even /var/log/httpd/access_log. I managed to reject and approve messages manually using mailmanclient and the REST API, so the issue appears to be somewhere between Postorius 1.3.3 and mailmancore. Any ideas? -- .:.Sebastian Hagedorn - Weyertal 121 (Gebäude 133), Zimmer 2.02.:. .:.Regionales Rechenzentrum (RRZK).:. .:.Universität zu Köln / Cologne University - ✆ +49-221-470-89578.:.

Throttle outgoing emails to a certain rate?
by arvid.teichtmann＠gmx.de 21 Aug '20

21 Aug '20

Is there a possibility to throttle the sending of outgoing emails to a certain rate, e.g. 100 emails per hour, or to split them up into corresponding chunks? I run Mailman 2.1.33 on a hosted server and the provider only allows me to send a maximum of 100 emails per hour. The excess emails are also simply discarded and the sender and list administrator get a bunch of error emails. This is very annoying, especially because I didn't know about it and the problem only now occurs occasionally during operation... ;-( Thanks for all hints.

Spam sign ups

Hello all, I've suddenly started getting a slow but steady stream of fake sign ups. They fail because I'm getting a bounce back from the mail host saying that the email address they signed up with doesn't exist. I know this was asked a while back on this list, but I'm hoping there might be an update? Any way to add an am-I-human test to the sign up? Thanks, Seth

Invalid confirm text
by w.schoener＠alp.dillingen.de 19 Aug '20

19 Aug '20

Hi there, I am new to mailman 3, python and django. I try to configure a mailman 3 list. To establish german text, I used the web-admin interface of mm3 in the "templates"-section. I inserted a text for "The message sent to subscribers when a subscription confirmation is required" Now, when I try to subscribe to the list, I get my first message in german language, with the confirm request: return the message unchange. When I return the message, I get an answer: Invalid confirm text. My request is pending. And there is no way to solve this pending request, in the webinterface, no subscription request is shown, no member is shown and no no-member is shown. Have you any hint, what is going wrong. What do I have to respect to create a message, where the confirmation is working. Thank you Wolfgang

Single-Sign-out for List member

Hello, I have to configure mailman 3 for a german company. The privacy policy in our country demands for mailing-lists, that its member can sign out in one step, it is called sigle-sign-out. So I would like to ad a link in the footer of every message, with which every receiver/member can sign out of the newsletter with one click. It does not seam to be possible, to put this into effect with mailman 3. Does anybody have any hints, how to create a link, and when this link is called, the user is signed out of the newsletter. Thank you, Wolfgang

base64 re-encoding and line endings
by David Bremner 15 Aug '20

15 Aug '20

I (along with some other admins) run a mailman3 (3.2.1, on debian stable) mailing list for notmuch (https://notmuchmail.org). It's our main method of reviewing, so we get lots of mail from git-send-email. Occasionaly people send it with Content-Transfer-Encoding 8bit. As far as I can tell what happens then is mailman3 re-encodes it as base64, taking the line endings as CRLF. git-am is unable to apply the patches that have been re-encoded. This seems somewhat related to [1]. Like one commentator there, I would be happy to be able to turn off the re-encoding, although I have the feeling from playing with the python email libraries that this might not be that easy. I'm writing in hope that someone can suggest another workaround, perhaps some kind line-ending rewriting before base64 encoding. I guess with 8bit transfer encoding there probably isn't a clear distinction between the line-endings on the wire, and the intended line-endings for delivery, but it could be inferred from the "X-Mailer: git-send-email" header. As a test, I sent the same patch through our mailman instance with Content-Transfer-Encoding base64 and that applies fine, since the original \n line endings are inside the base64 container. It's a known mis-feature of git-am that it can handle either CRLF line endings or base64 encoding, but not the combination of both. I have a local workaround involving re-formatting the patches, but I'd really like anyone to be able to apply the patches from the list archive. [1]: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/269

Announce Only List
by joseverde＠gmail.com 14 Aug '20

14 Aug '20

So if we want to make a list announce only (e.g. only specific folks) can post, I've found I can set the list settings to automatically discard messages from members and non-members. Then I go into the individual permissions on each user to be allowed to post without moderation. This works fine, however it seems cumbersome. My expected solution was to make the announce only members moderators - however it appears being a moderator does not give any special ability to post to the list (nor does it appear to make you a 'member' from the point of mailman when sending messages to the list, since a moderator who is not a subscriber gets treated like a nonmember from the posting permissions perspective). Is this correct?

I need to create a lot many users and their mapping email ids through Site Administration almost daily. But it is becoming to do the same through Graphical Interface. So, I just want to know the CURL commands that can be used to create the user accounts and email ids mapped to user accounts. Please do the needful. -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936 <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

Better documentation for Mailman Core's config options
by Abhilash Raj 07 Aug '20

07 Aug '20

Hey All, For the past few days, I've been trying to improve the documentation style for Mailman Core's config options. Internally, Mailman has all configurations defined in an ini formatted `schema.cfg` file, which serves as a schema for our `zope.configuration` library. We had that file simply embedded in the sphinx documentation previously as a wall of text. I ended up writing a Sphinx (our documentation generator) plugin which parses the config file and presents the same documentation with more bells and whistles so it is easier to lookup and link sections and config options.[1] The process of doing that was fun and I learnt how to write a simple sphinx plugin, so yay! It treats the comments above each config option in the ini file as it's doc and basically generates ReST text that it passes to Sphinx to parse and convert to the markup format that you see in browser. You can look at it in the source repo[2] . Do note that not all sections are documented yet, I am still figuring out what would be a good way to document template sections like `[plugins.master]` and other similar sections of that kind. [1]: https://gnu-mailman--667.org.readthedocs.build/projects/mailman/en/667/src/… ((URL is for the PR, the main doc seems like is serving the cached version from an older build).

How to turn off Emergency Moderation for imported MM2 lists?
by Brian Carpenter 07 Aug '20

07 Aug '20

I recently imported a number of MM2 lists into MM3. Unfortunately, the person had emergency moderation turned on for these lists. Since EM is not exposed to Postorius what can be done to reverse this? Thanks, Brian

Installation Help on Ubuntu 18
by joseverde＠gmail.com 03 Aug '20

03 Aug '20

Hi folks, I spent many hours last night trying to get Mailman 3 up and running. I am using Ubuntu on a Digital Ocean LAMP droplet (so PHP, Apache, Sql, and Postfix are already installed). The LAMP stack works as I have a successful installation of YOURLS going on. So, I tried to use this guide (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xIcSsoNFp2nHi7r4eQys00s9a0k2sHhu1V5Plan…) to install the Mailman3 package and got to the configuration screen (the one with all the DOS-esque GUI). I ran it but it kept saying the DB wasn't installed. Was I supposed to create SQL databases and users before running that and use those usernames/databases in the credentials it asks for? It doesn't seem like that in the way it asks the questions (since it asks to create a password) but I wasn't sure. Anywho, I tried to remove the package completely and restart but I keep spinning my wheels. So my questions: 1. Does that guide actually work? Did I just foul up the database part? 2. Is there a better way to install mailman3 with some nice step-by-step directions to follow? 3. Is there a way to completely wipe my previous installs without wiping the server? ( I didn't back up...silly I know ). I used apt-get --purge remove to uninstall mailman3 and mailman to start over, did that do the trick? Sorry for all the questions.

Custom Templates and reject_message() error
by Marcel Pietschmann 02 Aug '20

02 Aug '20

Hi everyone, I'm running Mailman 3 in maxking's Docker container (tag 0.3). Mailman3 runs really well, thanks for that good job! But I noticed two errors. 1) When a new list is created, Mailman will not notify the list owners of their new mailing list. I tested it with the default template "domain:admin:notice:new-list.txt" and my own template (which i copied in $var_dir/templates/domains/DOMAIN/de/ Any customs templates in $var_dir/templates... aren't sent out, always the default templates from /usr/lib/python3/site-packages/mailman/templates/de. I can't find anything in the logs for that issue. 2) When a post requires an approval and I reject it with a notification a server error occurs: "An error occurred while processing your request." The Traceback in mailmanweb.log is: ERROR 2020-08-01 16:19:19,926 17 django.request Internal Server Error: /postorius/lists/list.domain.de/held_messages/moderate Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/handlers/exception.py", line 34, in inner response = get_response(request) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 115, in _get_response response = self.process_exception_by_middleware(e, request) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 113, in _get_response response = wrapped_callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/views/decorators/http.py", line 40, in inner return func(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/decorators.py", line 21, in _wrapped_view return view_func(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/postorius/auth/decorators.py", line 60, in wrapper return fn(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/postorius/views/list.py", line 549, in moderate_held_message mailing_list.reject_message(msg.request_id, reason=reason) TypeError: reject_message() got an unexpected keyword argument 'reason' Thanks a lot for any suggestion.

Mailman 3.2.0 Hyperkitty fulltext index error

Hi, I've just upgraded to Mailman 3.2.0 (finally everything Python 3 now, thanks!) and it appears to work. However, there's a repeating error message in mailman-suite's logfile for Hyperkitty that looks like this: ERROR 2018-07-12 14:28:33,895 2742 hyperkitty.lib.utils Failed to update the fulltext index: ord() expected a character, but string of length 0 found Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/hyperkitty/lib/utils.py", line 179, in run_with_lock fn(*args, **kwargs) File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/hyperkitty/search_indexes.py", line 115, in update_index update_cmd.update_backend("hyperkitty", "default") File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/haystack/management/commands/update_index.py", line 276, in update_backend last_max_pk=max_pk) File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/haystack/management/commands/update_index.py", line 97, in do_update backend.update(index, current_qs, commit=commit) File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/haystack/backends/whoosh_backend.py", line 178, in update self.setup() File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/haystack/backends/whoosh_backend.py", line 126, in setup self.index = self.storage.open_index(schema=self.schema) File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/whoosh/filedb/filestore.py", line 176, in open_index return indexclass(self, schema=schema, indexname=indexname) File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/whoosh/index.py", line 421, in __init__ TOC.read(self.storage, self.indexname, schema=self._schema) File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/whoosh/index.py", line 632, in read check_size("int", _INT_SIZE) File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/whoosh/index.py", line 626, in check_size sz = stream.read_varint() File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/whoosh/filedb/structfile.py", line 191, in read_varint return read_varint(self.read) File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/whoosh/util/varints.py", line 102, in read_varint b = ord(readfn(1)) TypeError: ord() expected a character, but string of length 0 found The error repeats every minute, so I suppose it comes from the minutely cronjob.

Owner's or Moderator's Lists
by Johnny Cison 31 Jul '20

31 Jul '20

I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but is there a page in Postorius that lists all of the lists of which the user is the owner or moderator? When I visit the /lists/ URL as an admin, I see a full list. When I visit the /lists/ URL without being logged in, I see public lists. I've heard from two people who are list owners (and confirmed they're logged in and their email is showing as verified) that they also just see the public lists on the /lists/ page. (I tried searching the archives and didn't see anything that addressed this. My apologies if I overlooked it!)

Good choice of defaults for content filtering?
by hansen＠rc.org 31 Jul '20

31 Jul '20

Hi all, I had MM2 set to the default filtering that I think came OOTB. MM3 has none such and I was wondering: a. What were those MM2 defaults (My MM2 server is long gone now). b. Is there a better set today. I know that MIME types can be faked, but they have worked. I want to avoid anything that can contain malicious code while also allowing simple text to go through. Yours, Allan

A little stuck with installation of MM3 - ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flufl.lock'
by Odhiambo Washington 30 Jul '20

30 Jul '20

I decided to try this again, on FreeBSD-12.1 I still decided to follow https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Mailman%203%20installation%20experience which I know is not the main documentation, but I find the process easier to follow. I am also taking notes to see if I could share if I manage to succeed. This is important for me because Python-2.7 is being removed from FreeBSD in Dec 2020. I need to bail out of mailman-2.x before that happens so I am trying my hand again om MM3.

500 Internal Server Error on specific list pages
by Johnny Cison 30 Jul '20

30 Jul '20

I have a new Mailman 3 server set up and am having a strange issue with just one particular list. Accessing the list's Info page URL or it's Archiving Settings page URL returns a 500 Internal Server Error, but its other pages work correctly. Also, the Info and Archiving pages on the other lists are working correctly.

The email confirming the registration of an account on postorius is not correctly translated in Italian
by Massimo Zappalà 30 Jul '20

30 Jul '20

Hi everyone, thanks to the files.po on Weblate, I have translated all Mailman-Core, Postorius, Hyperkitty and Django_mailman3. I have also translated the confirmation message to subscribe to a list. Everything works, except for this: When I register a new account on postorius, he sends me a confirmation email totally in English, except the following final block which is sent in Italian: in my /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/allauth/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/django.po #: templates/account/email/email_confirmation_message.txt:7 #, python-format msgid "" "Thank you from %(site_name)s!\n" "%(site_domain)s" msgstr "" "Grazie da %(site_name)s!\n" "%(site_domain)s" By carefully analyzing the same file .po, I notice that the Italian translation of the whole text already exists. Why does the confirmation email arrive in English? #: templates/account/email/email_confirmation_message.txt:1 #, fuzzy, python-format #| msgid "" #| "User %(user_display)s at %(site_name)s has given this as an email " #| "address.\n" #| "\n" #| "To confirm this is correct, go to %(activate_url)s\n" msgid "" "Hello from %(site_name)s!\n" "\n" "You're receiving this e-mail because user %(user_display)s has given yours " "as an e-mail address to connect their account.\n" "\n" "To confirm this is correct, go to %(activate_url)s\n" msgstr "" "Ciao da %(site_name)s!\n" "\n" "L'Utente %(user_display)s di %(site_name)s ha registrato questo indirizzo e-" "mail.\n" "Per confermare, clicca qui %(activate_url)s\n" Thanks Max

Moderation of held emails vs. spam
by David Krantz 30 Jul '20

30 Jul '20

Hi, I now run Mailman 3.3.1, installed from pip. Is there now any way to prevent Mailman from forwarding the contents of the held message when notifying moderators of held messages? In my case these messages often are spam messages and if the entire contents are forwarded it triggers spam handling in the recipient address(es) which over time risks classifying all moderation emails as spam or even classifying the list domain or server as a spam source. Even my own outgoing filter classifies it as spam, which I will fix. I currently run rspamd for spam filtering, graylisting and DKIM and ARC verification/signing. Someone on this recommended it, thank you for that as it removes the need for other milters. I guess that this would be a simple change to make as a kludge but a proper implementation as a setting would be a lot better. I'd like it as a global setting but that might be too coarse. Cheers // David
