Mailman shell tutorial
by andrew.bernard＠gmail.com 15 Jan '20

15 Jan '20

is there a tutorial or some examples for using the mailman shell? Is there detailed documentation on it? Anything I try to do such as the following fails: $ mailman shell Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell >>> command('mailman shell --details') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'command' is not defined >>> I execute the shell as user mailman and from within the same venv that all the programs run under.

Adding a domsin
by Allan Hansen 13 Jan '20

13 Jan '20

Hi all, I’m still working on setting up my lists in a domain that was added after MM3 installation. It’s mostly working but the Postorius page and the ‘noreply’ emails still sport the old domain name. I hav looked at all the py and cfg files where the old name appeared, and they no longer hold the old name. My coadmin now tells me that the database has a table with the old name. Any suggestion as to whether that can cause the issue and if it’s safe to change the table. Yours, Allan Hansen P.O. Box 2423 Cypress, CA 90630

Cannot setup HTTPS support for mailman3-web
by jean-christophe manciot 11 Jan '20

11 Jan '20

Ubuntu 20.04 mailman3 3.2.2-1 mailman3-web 0+20180916-10 python3-django 2:2.2.9-2ubuntu1 In ```/etc/mailman3/uwsgi.ini``` (example.org is defined in the local /etc/hosts as 10.0.0.1): ``` [uwsgi] # Port on which uwsgi will be listening. ### suwsgi: uwsgi protocol over TLS uwsgi-socket = example.org:8430 # https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/HTTPS.html?highlight=ssl https = /etc/ssl/example.org.crt,/etc/ssl/example.org_rsakey.pem.decrypted,HIGH ... # Drop privileges and don't run as root. uid = www-data gid = www-data ... ``` I suppose that uwsgi reads the certificate & its private key before dropping root privileges. Right now, uwsgi cannot access them as ```www-data```. In ```/etc/mailman3/mailman-web.py``` (symlinked to django settings.py) : ``` ...

What am I missing/doing incorrectly? Does uwsgi need access to the certificate/private key while running as non-root for instance?

Default values for new lists
by Sten Aus 11 Jan '20

11 Jan '20

Hi I haven't found out where I could choose or edit default list values (when creating new list). For example I would like that all new lists would be with *private archive* (and change this when it is needed). This is great that I can choose not to advertise list in Index (which I can choose from list creation interface) but I would like to choose other options too. Right now only solution is to create list and then choose Archiving and then select "private archives". Another thing is that I would like to choose default subscription policy to "Moderate". If anyone has encountered this problem, let me know! All the best Sten

bounce processing on this list
by Mark Sapiro 09 Jan '20

09 Jan '20

I have just installed the latest Mailman core for this list. This version now actually processes bounces. As a result of the huge backlog of unprocessed, queued bounces, some members may receive one or more bounce probe messages. As long as the probes don't bounce, your subscription will be unaffected and you can ignore the probe message. Sorry for the noise. Hopefully it's just a one time catch-up. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

FILTER_VHOST for 3.2.1 not working after install
by Élodie BOSSIER 08 Jan '20

08 Jan '20

Hello, I'm using Mailman 2.1.29 since several years and all was perfect except the virtual_host which was "faked" : it was possible to have several mailing list by domain linked to their own domain and url but not same mailing list name for multiple domains. Example (with lighttpd) : - at http://ml.bossier.fr/listinfo we can see ONLY mailing list "test2@", "Test3@" and "Test4@" for @ml.bossier.fr - and at http://ml.franceserv.fr/listinfo we can see ONLY mailing list "bar@", "newsletter@" and "test@" for @ml.franceserv.fr Each url_host have their "own" mailing list. It's the main reason I would like migrate and use Mailman 3 and be able to have "test(a)ml.bossier.fr" and "test(a)ml.franceserv.fr". So I installed Mailman 3.2.1 and I have set "FILTER_VHOST = True" into /etc/mailman3/mailman-web.py then : mailman create --language fr --owner admin(a)franceserv.fr --domain test(a)ml.franceserv.fr mailman create --language fr --owner admin(a)franceserv.fr --domain test2(a)ml.bossier.fr And I have this result (with nginx as front) : - at http://ml.franceserv.fr:81/postorius/lists/ we can see mailing list "test(a)ml.franceserv.fr and test2(a)ml.bossier.fr" - and at http://ml.bossier.fr:81/postorius/lists/ we can see mailing list "test(a)ml.franceserv.fr and test2(a)ml.bossier.fr" (same result) And it's my problem, I would like be able to see the linked mailing list to their own url. I would like with Mailman 3.2.1 see into : - "example1.com/postorius/lists/" only the mailing list related to example1, - and into "example2.com/postorius/lists/" only the mailing list related to example2 as Mailman 2.1.x do it. I don't understand what I missed, could you help me please ? Best regards, Élodie PS. Sorry for my english language I'm french.

Migration from 2.1 to 3
by brunol＠agro.uba.ar 08 Jan '20

08 Jan '20

Hi, I am in the process to migrate an old 2.1 installation to 3.2.1 (Debian 10.1) Following the 2.1 to 3 docs: - Create a new list - Use the import21 command The command runs successfully (at least no errors in stdout). There is a problem when sending an email to the newly imported list, the message never get send to the members. I do get moderation emails, and if i do a mass subscribe, the welcome email is received by the new members. In a fresh 3 new list (not imported from 2.1) this does not happen. I already tried looking for clues in the logs [logging.smtp] path: debug.log level: debug [logging.smtp-failure] path: debug.log level: debug [logging.error] path: debug.log level: debug But i haven't seen anything useful yet. Any hints on this?

This is because of the domain change. In settings(_local).py you have a setting for SITE_ID. Possibly, setting that in settings_local.py to a value one greater that the current setting will do.

MM3 shunting mails
by Anders Nilsson 03 Jan '20

03 Jan '20

I'm running a Mailman 3.1.0 installation on a CentOS 7 machine. Using RPMs from https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/abompard/hyperkitty/el-7/x86_64/ I do have problems with some lists occasionally going into some kind of shunt mode, where alla mails sent to them gets shunted. In the Mailman log I get entries for each shunted email: Mar 17 11:54:11 2017 (6217) Uncaught runner exception: Multiple rows were found for one_or_none() Mar 17 11:54:11 2017 (6217) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 171, in _one_iteration self._process_one_file(msg, msgdata) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 264, in _process_one_file keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/runners/pipeline.py", line 37, in _dispose process(mlist, msg, msgdata, pipeline) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/core/pipelines.py", line 53, in process handler.process(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/handlers/rfc_2369.py", line 121, in process process(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/handlers/rfc_2369.py", line 70, in process archiver_set = IListArchiverSet(mlist) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/zope/component/hookable.py", line 33, in __call__ return self.__implementation(*args, **kw) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/zope/component/_api.py", line 156, in adapter_hook return sitemanager.queryAdapter(object, interface, name, default) File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/zope/interface/registry.py", line 348, in queryAdapter return self.adapters.queryAdapter(object, interface, name, default) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/database/transaction.py", line 85, in wrapper return function(args[0], config.db.store, *args[1:], **kws) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/model/mailinglist.py", line 607, in __init__ ListArchiver.name == archiver_name).one_or_none() File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/sqlalchemy/orm/query.py", line 2733, in one_or_none "Multiple rows were found for one_or_none()") sqlalchemy.orm.exc.MultipleResultsFound: Multiple rows were found for one_or_none() Mar 17 11:54:11 2017 (6217) SHUNTING: 1489748051.1949184+7a59df19c81493cb419306d620376efc0e381819 And so far my Google-fu hasn't been good enough to give me any useful answers to why this happens. If I dump one of the pickles using qfile I cannot see any complaints. Most of the times, if I remove and recreate a failing list and run unshunt the shunted emails get processed and sent.

Mark a list to prevent it being shown as inactive on HyperKitty
by Steven Maddox 03 Jan '20

03 Jan '20

Lo Folks, Subject says it all really, is there anyway to mark a list as one which should never be shown as inactive on the HyperKitty web interface? We've got a list which we consider to be "active", it's just that there might be the odd month here or there which it won't show activity. Failing having such a setting (as described above)... maybe there is a way of changing what it considers to be 'inactive' (I'm assuming that it is 30 days?). At the moment (in order to counteract commit 156f4cda) I've dropped this into templates/hyperkitty/bottom.html to uncheck the "Hide Inactive" checkbox... but that doesn't actually stop HyperKitty from considering it inactive - just shows it in dark grey. <script> document.querySelector("input[type='checkbox'][value='inactive']").checked = false; </script> -- Steven Maddox Lantizia

Weekend releases
by Abhilash Raj 26 Dec '19

26 Dec '19

Hi Everyone, Hope everyone had a great weekend! I am pleased to announce new set of releases: - Postorius 1.3.1 - Django-mailman3 1.3.1 - Hyperkitty 1.3.1 These are all bugfix releases and include several fixes each. The full changelogs are available at: - Hyperkitty (https://hyperkitty.readthedocs.io/en/latest/news.html#id1) - Postorius (https://postorius.readthedocs.io/en/latest/news.html#id1) Most notable fixes include a fix for PostgeSQL support in Hyperkitty, ability to delete a MailingList in Hyperkitty and list settings changes are immediately reflected in Hyperkitty (like making a List private). It also includes support for Python 3.8 and Django 3.0 in Postorius and Django-maialman3. Hyperkitty doesn't yet support either of them due to some dependencies not yet supporting Django 3.0 and a bug in Python 3.8.0 causing a test case failure[1]. I hope that we are able to support the latest and greatest as soon as possible, I am excited to be able to play with Django's aync capabilities. Finally, since our i18n workflow has been setup, we have lots of new translations coming in. This release also includes more parts of Postorius being translatable, including section headers. I am really happy to see Mailman 3 move closer to Mailman 2 in terms of i18n. If you want to help us improve the coverage, head on to Weblate[2]. All the releases are available on PyPI, as usual! [1] Fun Fact: The bug was due to a code that I contributed ;-). It is now fixed and will be soon out with Python 3.8.1 sometime this month.

postfix virtual domain and mailman 3
by work＠andrefincato.info 25 Dec '19

25 Dec '19

hi everyone! i start by saying that i browsed through the archives in here for the past three days, and re-read the mailman 3 docs several times, as well the postfix docs. the thread closest to my problem is this one https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… ; i was not sure if it was good to re-open though. i have a postfix + dovecot setup using the "separate domains and non-unix accounts". problem: ``` postfix/smtpd[26356]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from wout1-smtp.messagingengine.com[64.147.123.24]: 550 5.1.1 <list-name(a)domain.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown; from=<some(a)email.com> to=<list-name(a)domain.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<wout1-smtp.messagingengine.com> ``` postfix main.cf relevant portion for virtual users ``` # deliver mail for virtual users to Dovecot's LMTP socket virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp # setup virtual domains and non-unix accounts virtual_mailbox_domains = /etc/postfix/vhosts virtual_mailbox_base = /var/spool/vmail virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmaps virtual_uid_maps = static:1001 virtual_gid_maps = static:1001 virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/valias ``` postfix `main.cf` mailman settings ``` transport_maps = regexp:/opt/mailman/var/data/postfix_lmtp local_recipient_maps = regexp:/opt/mailman/var/data/postfix_lmtp relay_domains = regexp:/opt/mailman/var/data/postfix_domains ``` question: i tried to add the `alias_domain` to mailman using Mailman Core REST APIs because I read about https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/mta.html#unusual-… ; entering the mailman console and doing `dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/domains/example.com/lists')` was giving me error that `dump_json` is not an available module. is that the way to go? should I add a an `alias_domain` to Mailman in order for it to output a `postfix_vmap` when doing `mailman aliases`? and then add it to postfix `main.cf` like so ``` virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/valias, regexp:/opt/mailman/var/data//postfix_vmap ``` or do you suggest as a simple viable solution to create a new unix account and setup postfix to use local domains? thanks and hopefully my confusion arose from reading all these threads will dissipate soon!

Please update your Mailman installations: CVE-2019-19844
by Abhilash Raj 19 Dec '19

19 Dec '19

Hey Mailman Users, A new Django vulnerability was disclosed yesterday[1] which can lead to account hijacks via password reset emails. The fix has been released as a part of Django 3.0.1, 2.2.9, and 1.11.27. We do not support Django 3.0.1, so, please upgrade to 2.2.9 or 1.11.27, depending on which version of Mailman components you are using. If you are using a virtualenv based installation, you can install the new versions using `pip` (venv) $ pip install -U django==2.2.9 or similar for 1.11.27. You can also upgrade django-allauth to 0.41.0, which also fixes this issue[2]. I hope distro packages will soon have updated packages with the fixes. I have also published new versions of Container Images, 0.3.2 (or, 0.3) both have been updated. See more details about updating the containers here[3].

Mass subscribe question
by Brian Carpenter 17 Dec '19

17 Dec '19

Does mass subscribing bypass a list's subscription policy? I had a list owner mass subscribe a large number of invalid mailboxes which resulted in us terminating their service since Mailman 3 has no bounce processing that helps to clean a list up nor a mass invite function that a user can use instead of mass subscribing. If mass subscribing does bypass the subscription policy then I beg you to make mass inviting and bounce processing a HIGH priority. I am really disappointed that Mailman 3 did not come out with a bounce process feature right out of the gates. But the fact it still doesn't have one on Mailman 3.3 seems scandalous. Brian

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character
by Marvin Gülker 16 Dec '19

16 Dec '19

Hi, I've accidentally sent from an unregisted address to one of my lists. Mailman correctly held the message back for moderation, but when I go to the page for held messages in postorios, I receive a 500 error. I've included an except from the log below. To me, it looks as if it errors on processing my last name (which has a non-ascii character in it). This is Postorius 1.1.2 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS from the repos. I've searched on the tracker for the problem and found one ticket[1], but it has something with logging so I suppose this is a different problem. Ideas? And how do I discard the message without access to the held messages page? Python version is 3.6.8. Log excerpt: Dec 09 13:21:04 2019 (3090) REST request handler error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/wsgiref/handlers.py", line 137, in run self.result = application(self.environ, self.start_response) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/database/transaction.py", line 50, in wrapper rtn = function(*args, **kws) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/rest/wsgiapp.py", line 214, in __call__ return super().__call__(environ, start_response) File "falcon/api.py", line 215, in falcon.api.API.__call__ (falcon/api.c:2872) File "falcon/api.py", line 189, in falcon.api.API.__call__ (falcon/api.c:2419) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/rest/post_moderation.py", line 167, in on_get resource = self._make_collection(request) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/rest/helpers.py", line 159, in _make_collection for resource in collection] File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/rest/helpers.py", line 159, in <listcomp> for resource in collection] File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/rest/post_moderation.py", line 157, in _resource_as_dict resource = self._make_resource(request.id) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/rest/post_moderation.py", line 78, in _make_resource resource['msg'] = msg.as_string() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/email/message.py", line 158, in as_string g.flatten(self, unixfrom=unixfrom) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/email/generator.py", line 116, in flatten self._write(msg) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/email/generator.py", line 181, in _write self._dispatch(msg) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/email/generator.py", line 214, in _dispatch meth(msg) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/email/generator.py", line 243, in _handle_text msg.set_payload(payload, charset) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/email/message.py", line 315, in set_payload payload = payload.encode(charset.output_charset) UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\ufffd' in position 269: ordinal not in range(128) Dec 09 13:21:04 2019 (3090) 127.0.0.1 - - "GET /3.0/lists/tsc-devel(a)lists.secretchronicles.org/held?count=10&page=1 HTTP/1.1" 500 59 -- Blog: https://mg.guelker.eu

Default moderation for new members
by Seth Seeger 11 Dec '19

11 Dec '19

Hello everyone, I’m loving Mailman3 so far! Great work on it. I’d like to have new members who join my lists have their posting ability set to moderated. (After their first legitimate post, they would set to be unmoderated.) I haven’t been able to find this, though I’m suspecting the language has changed. Thanks, Seth

Also, another doc paragraph [Running the task queue (required)](http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-web.html#running-the-t…) talks about another required command "python manage.py qcluster"; so which one is it?

It's email, there are no guarantees. I hate to say that, but that's the way it is. In particular, I'm concerned about the "iRedMail" integration, which may be a complete wildcard from my point of view. With respect to the relevant iRedMail components, I can say that Mailman 3 is perfectly happy with Postfix as MTA (it's the recommended configuration, although I use Exim4 for historical reasons), and I've been satisfied with a small-scale set of lists (about 10 active ones, with at most 20 subscribers total) using Apache+mod_swgi to host Postorius and HyperKitty. The problem would be if your friend (is that the Frank in the CC? hi, Frank!) really really wants to manage Mailman 3 through iRedAdmin -- that will get messy I suspect, and pragmatically speaking, we can't support it, we don't have the cycles. So he'd be on his own, especially since the iRedMail folks have their own bespoke mailing list manager. I would recommend avoiding iRedAdmin integration, and just using Postorius since the subscribers and non-site-admin moderators (if any) will need to use Postorius anyway. Ignoring the iRedAdmin issue, the absolute simplest is 1. Install any Linux distribution with a Docker package. 2. Install the distribution's Docker package. 3. Download and install Mailman Project's Mailman 3 container. 4. Upgrade the container manually (ie, download and reinstall) as appropriate. For reference, what I would recommend to my friends, who would give me hands-on access in emergencies: 1. Install the Debian distribution. (What I use.) 2. Pin the Mailman 3 packages to "experimental". The idea would be to get Mailman 3 upgrades as fast as possible, even at the risk of packaging issues. (My experience with default-to-experimental system for several years was that this happened at most once a year, and the three or four cases all got fixed within days.) 3. Install the Mailman 3 packages. 4. Adjust any dependencies that need non-"stable" versions. 5. Upgrade via apt or whatever occasionally. 6. When Mailman 3 is working well, downgrade the pins to a more stable level. Since you do have such a friend, there's probably a similar process that works for his distribution-of-choice. > The problem is that my MacOS users are getting tripped up by the > mangling, as it is hidden by the mail clients.

I guess we could provide a setting where reply-to goes *only* to author, instead of to author *and* list as we currently recommend. But that is going to make you (or list owners) the focus of user ire because their intended replies to list go only to author. What do you think? tl;dr The rest is me blowing off steam. :-) > The fact that the mangling will continue is a disappointment. It's a disappointment to the sane people at the IETF, too, including the rep from Yahoo!, who's a very smart lady (I may be biased, she gave me a kitten once. ;-) Yahoo! is violating the original concept (DMARC "p=reject" was supposed to be used *only* for "transactional" mail, i.e., direct private communication between a business and its clients), but I see her point: when you've had a hundred million or so address books hacked and sold to spammers, and the spammers are sending literally millions of "recommendation from a friend" spams per hour for days on end, you use the tools to hand. > I’m inclined to tell all my AOL and Yahoo users and others in the same > boat to find another email service. I know the feeling. I'm lucky in that respect: the Ministry of Education prohibits use of yahoo mailboxes at Japanese universities. (Which is a WTF of a different kind: yahoo.co.jp is a franchise, not controlled by yahoo.com, and doesn't use p=reject at least at the time MoE issued that policy.) Mail is just hard. It was designed for a "friendly network of users", not for today's rather hostile open Internet, and even if they had envisioned this in the 70s when the message format and SMTP mail transmission protocol were designed, the fundamental problem is that pretty much everyone has a genuine need, even if only occasional, to receive messages from untrusted and even unknown senders.

Setting up From: field as list address
by Steven Maddox 25 Nov '19

25 Nov '19

Hi folks, I'm trying to configure our mailman3 lists (via postorious) in a way that'll mean they'll behave in the way way that I've witnessed on another 3rd party list (one running mailman2). This is where (when receiving a message from the list) the From: is the list itself, and the person who actually sent it bizarrely appears as a CC:, for example... From: Steven Madox via Shropshire LUG <shropshire(a)mailman.lug.org.uk> Subject: [Shropshire LUG] Whatever To: shropshire(a)mailman.lug.org.uk CC: s.maddox(a)lantizia.me.uk At the moment our settings are the default/recommended... I *was* just going to set munging to 'Reply goes to list' which would just set a 'Reply-To' header... until I realised that... a) that won't help Thunderbird users as it just ignores Reply-To if it came from a list b) doesn't fix the issue with people having their own SPF/DKIM set on their mail domains So ultimately I'm starting to see why this 3rd party mailing list (another linux user group, a neighbouring one just south of us) does it this way... if anyone knows the mailman3 equivalent setting? p.s. I've read both the mailman2 and 3 notes related to why munging is not recommended, but I'd still like to know how this is done - to keep our options open more than anything. -- Steven Maddox Lantizia

We have ARC support in Mailman 3, but (a) like most envelope manipulation, that should be done in boundary MTAs, not in Mailman, and (b) ARC implementation is not universal. *Very likely* some of your subscribers are going to lose mail if you depend on ARC, rather than munge from. > I need to get this done before they start on my already thinning > hair!

If your friend is the type to get his hands dirty with code, and has the time for development activity, mailman-developers(a)python.org would also be useful.

Adding / manipulating users
by Seth Seeger 19 Nov '19

19 Nov '19

Hello, Thank you for your help with the moderation status. My next question - I have two lists from Yahoo to import. I’ve migrated them through groups.io and have a convenient export. I now have all the data in formats I can handle. (json file for members, mbox for archives.) What’s the best way to import hundreds of users, setting their mail delivery status and moderation status at the same time? (There doesn’t seem to be a command line option for adding members anymore where you can also set their delivery status.) I’ve looked at the documentation, but couldn’t figure out what to do. Thanks, Seth

postorius ssl-certificates for virtual hosts

Hello, On my server are several virtual hosts running with different lists per host. The appropriate webaddress is in general: https://lists.[domain]/mailman3/postorius/lists/[listname].lists.[domain]. My domains: [domain-1] starts with a b* [domain-2] starts with a s* [domain-3] starts with a t* If I use the webadress https://lists.[domain-1]/mailman3/postorius/lists/[listname].lists.[domain-… and I do a click on the https-symbol in the address line of my browser I get the secury-information " every thing is ok" and the certificate-information is about the wildcard-certificate I just created for the right domain. Different result is for the webadress https://lists.[domain-2]/mailman3/postorius/lists/[listname].lists.[domain-…. In this case I get an information like "you are using a wrong certificate" clicking on the https-symbol references tot he certificate of [domain-1] I set in my apache2 configuration a symbolic link to apache.conf in the /etc/mailman3/directory and made this active. What did I wrong?? If I set use_https to yes in mailman.cfg I get on the website for all lists: postorius: Something went wrong Mailman REST API not available. Please start Mailman core.

Mailing lists sometimes do not honor moderation_action of non-members
by Alan So 14 Nov '19

14 Nov '19

We notice that sometimes mailing lists do not honor moderation_action of non-members. Instead, it follows the default action of the lists. It looks like we can sometimes fix the issue by adding/removing the non-members or adding/removing them as owner in certain order but we are not sure about exactly what we have to do. So, it looks like that it is not caused by the list configuration. We have already verified from the web UI, mailman client and the DB table member that moderation_action of the corresponding non-members are set correctly. Any clues for us to provide further information to troubleshoot the issue and any recommended workaround to get around the issue? Thanks a lot.

Python error, debian package, again
by Lars Schimmer 06 Nov '19

06 Nov '19

Hi! I did filed #248 in https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty/issues and tried to resolve this issue. Furst converted the database as noted in the ticket, no solution. Second search all unicode subject lines in DB for the specific mailinglist, and delete them all via hyperkitty web interface, no success, error still appears. As the error happens 10-12 time on strange times (6am 2:20 pm, 4:20pm), it does not look like a fixed cron job. Abhilash Raj (maxking) mentionend, it maybe a issue with mailman core trying to deliver the message to hyperkitty. But how can I remove those broken messages, or twitch hyperkitty to accept and discard them? Those 30-60 error messsages/day are really annoying and on the other side do not look fine for mailman3 to break at such a easy task. (could have discarded those messages, also). So, please, howto fix this? thank you.

When mass subscribing using format John Doe <john.doe@example.com>, "Members" show some with real name, others without.
by Henrik Rasmussen 30 Oct '19

30 Oct '19

GNU Mailman 3.2.0 (La Villa Strangiato): A list administrator asked me why some people is subscribed with full name and some are not, when he is mass subscribing people using the format John Doe john.doe(a)example.com. He had experienced this a lot of times. I tested this several times on my test lists, and one member, who already had his name registrered in Account (Postorius top right), and thus also in Django, kept being subscribed without real name, while the others was subscribed with full name in Members -> Subscribers. It seems (I’m not certain about this) that the one’s without real name is the one’s already having an account and thus registred in Django (admin/auth/user/), while the ones subscribed with full name associated is the ones not having an account already. However, as soon as the member (the one with the account) went to Account and changed his real name, the name was immediately associated with the subscription in Members -> Subscribers. I expect this to be by design, but why isn’t the name associated with the subscription when mass subscribing in the first place, taken from the account? Henrik Rasmussen

High Server Load problem
by Brian Carpenter 30 Oct '19

30 Oct '19

For about a week now, I am seeing very high server loads and it seems to have something to do with the following process hanging: uwsgi --ini /opt/mailman-web/uwsgi.ini I am using the docker version of Mailman. When this process hangs, the server load just goes sky high and both Postorius and Hyperkitty no longer responds. I don't have very many sites on this server and I am running about 30 lists. I really need some assistance here as this needs to be fixed. I am seeing nothing in the logs that is explaining why this process is hanging and why the server load goes through the roof. Running docker-compose restart mailman-web kills the hanged process and the server load goes down. Postorius and Hyperkitty starts responding again. This seems to happen once a day. Brian

Rendering HTML for moderation
by Gila Halpern 30 Oct '19

30 Oct '19

Hi, new member here doing some research for my boss. Does Mailman 3 allow HTML rendering in the moderation queue, or only plain text? I'm asking because our list mod doesn't have time to check each image in a submission individually, so we currently don't allow images, but the boss wants to allow them.

Chinese characters in list name shows question mark (?)
by Franklin Weng 26 Oct '19

26 Oct '19

Hi list, I set up a mailman3 server and built a few lists to test. When I set the list name using Chinese characters, the web site shows correctly. However in the subscribing welcome mail the list name was shown in question marks. Screenshot is here: https://nextcloud.slat.org/index.php/s/CxPjpYMbQzQ6444 The LANGUAGE_CODE settings.py (in Debian /etc/mailman3/mailman-web.py) is set to zh-tw , and USE_I18N and USE_L10N are all set to True. Is there any other setting I should look at? Thanks, Franklin

Domain Issue with MM3
by Liebeskind Uri (luri) 23 Oct '19

23 Oct '19

Hi all, our University has various departments and research projects and teams. Each of them might want more than one mailing list. It would be straight forward to create mailing lists such as: <list-name>@lists.mydomain.ch Example: In this case "digital" is an entity / Project / Department marketing.digital(a)lists.zhaw.ch<mailto:marketing.digital@lists.zhaw.ch> newsletter.digital(a)lists.zhaw.ch<mailto:newsletter.digital@lists.zhaw.ch> research.digital(a)lists.zhaw.ch<mailto:research.digital@lists.zhaw.ch> Other Examples might be: help.health(a)lists.zhaw.ch newsletter.health(a)lists.zhaw.ch research.health(a)lists.zhaw.ch<mailto:research.health@lists.zhaw.ch> If entities have more than one mailing list, it is required to build a stronger "mailing list identity", it is required to let the "entity" be part of the domain name: marketing(a)digital.lists.zhaw.ch newsletter@digital@lists.zhaw.ch career(a)health.lists.zhaw.ch newsletter(a)health.lists.zhaw.ch career(a)ict.lists.zhaw.ch support(a)ict.lists.zhaw.ch The University of Zurich (uzh.ch) does this as well and it looks very reasonable and useful to me: https://lists.uzh.ch/sympa/ca/domains https://business.lists.uzh.ch/sympa https://dqbm.lists.uzh.ch/sympa https://chess.lists.uzh.ch/sympa I have setup this mailing list test(a)digital.lists.zhaw.ch<mailto:test@digital.lists.zhaw.ch> but subscribing failed. * Subscribing via the Mass Import Form failed with a Server Error message in the browser. * Subscribing via e-mail test-join(a)digital.lists.zhaw.ch<mailto:test-join@digital.lists.zhaw.ch> because no response came from MM3. The mail to join has been delivered properly to MM3 but MM3 has swallowed the mail w/o response or error message. There also has not been any pending subscription. 2019-10-23T19:51:33.678705+02:00 svma-s-01321 postfix/smtpd[98348]: connect from srv-mail-013.zhaw.ch[160.85.104.123] 2019-10-23T19:51:33.692258+02:00 svma-s-01321 postfix/smtpd[98348]: A8EFC3FA6A: client=srv-mail-013.zhaw.ch[160.85.104.123] 2019-10-23T19:51:33.693192+02:00 svma-s-01321 postfix/cleanup[98351]: A8EFC3FA6A: message-id=<eb90deb6-58af-a873-3382-c27ce6d05031(a)anydomain.org> 2019-10-23T19:51:33.704102+02:00 svma-s-01321 postfix/qmgr[90603]: A8EFC3FA6A: from=<name(a)anydomain.org>, size=5329, nrcpt=1 (queue active) 2019-10-23T19:51:33.704864+02:00 svma-s-01321 postfix/smtpd[98348]: disconnect from srv-mail-013.zhaw.ch[160.85.104.123] ehlo=1 mail=1 rcpt=1 data=1 quit=1 commands=5 2019-10-23T19:51:33.763670+02:00 svma-s-01321 postfix/lmtp[98352]: A8EFC3FA6A: to=<test-join(a)digital.lists.zhaw.ch>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:8024, delay=0.08, delays=0.02/0.01/0/0.05, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Ok) 2019-10-23T19:51:33.764485+02:00 svma-s-01321 postfix/qmgr[90603]: A8EFC3FA6A: removed 2019-10-23T19:52:29.278529+02:00 svma-s-01321 postfix/smtpd[98348]: table hash:/var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_lmtp(0,lock|fold_fix|utf8_request) has changed -- restarting 2019-10-23T19:52:29.286154+02:00 svma-s-01321 postfix/smtpd[98558]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] 2019-10-23T19:52:29.288612+02:00 svma-s-01321 postfix/cleanup[98351]: table hash:/var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_domains(0,lock|utf8_request) has changed -- restarting 2019-10-23T19:52:29.292655+02:00 svma-s-01321 postfix/smtpd[98558]: 476AD3FA6A: client=localhost[127.0.0.1] 2019-10-23T19:52:29.293671+02:00 svma-s-01321 postfix/cleanup[98559]: 476AD3FA6A: message-id=<157185314763.94537.10517326910475727036(a)svma-s-01321.zhaw.ch> 2019-10-23T19:52:29.296393+02:00 svma-s-01321 postfix/qmgr[90603]: table hash:/var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_domains(0,lock|utf8_request) has changed -- restarting 2019-10-23T19:52:29.298231+02:00 svma-s-01321 postfix/smtpd[98558]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1] ehlo=1 mail=1 rcpt=1 data=1 commands=4 I'd be grateful for a useful hint what is going wrong here?

bouncing mail commands
by Liebeskind Uri (luri) 23 Oct '19

23 Oct '19

Hi all, when a subscribtion confirmation is sent to MM it replies a bounce mail about unknown commands in the mail. This is very confusing for the users / subscribers and I'd like to disable this function. Actually our users do not need to send commands in the subject and in the body. So responding to words that are unknown commands is not helpful. Currently I have Postfix header and body checks in place that discard this messages from MM to avoid bothering our users. But how can MM3 be configured not to respond to unknown commands or not to parse the mail for commands at all? Thank you for your help and kind regards, Uri Liebeskind -- ------------------------------------ Zurich University of Applied Sciences Information and Communication Technology Uri Liebeskind System Administrator Gertrudstrasse 15 Postfach 805 CH-8401 Winterthur Tel. +41 58 934 72 63 Fax. +41 58 935 72 63 http://www.zhaw.ch/en/ -------------------------------------

why owner mails rerouted to list
by Tamas HOLCZER 23 Oct '19

23 Oct '19

Hi All, we have moved to Mailman3 from Mailman2 recently, and have a quite strange problem: Every message sent to owners is forwarded to the lists instead of the owner's mail address. So for example if a non-member sends a message to MYLIST(a)MYDOMAIN.COM, then a notification appears on MYLIST (and all members receive it, the message also appears in the archive) instead of sending it to the private address of the owner set on the web interface. I found no obvious error either in mailman.log, smtp.log or the MTA's logs. This problem can cause a storm of mails as per default the owner is not allowed to send a message to a member-only list so each notifications generates a new notification. This storm is mitigated temporarily by accepting everything from the owner in a non-member setting, but it is only a workaround. I want mails sent to MYLIST-owner(a)MYDOMAIN.COM to be forwarded to the real owner instead of the list. The same is true for MYLIST-admin(a)MYDOMAIN.COM, and probably for the other administrative addresses. We are using GNU Mailman 3.2.1 (La Villa Strangiato) from the Debian Buster repo. As MTA we use exim4 (running on the same machine as Mailman), and have Amavisd on a separate machine for spam filtering. How can I test what happens to mails sent to the owner inside Mailman?

To what extent can mailman 3 handle images and html?
by Paul Arenson 23 Oct '19

23 Oct '19

Hi The other day I attempted to send a message from my mail client (Apple computer, Mail program, html--well, what they call Rich Text). While a user was able to send a message previously that contained an image, I was unsuccessful. As well, links were weird. LINKS ===== Because My wordpress often has a Japanese URL and they can become very long, I tried both the URL as is and embedded (made a clickable html link). URL === So while I typed https://www.tokyoprogressive.org/journalist-ito-shiori-sues-alleged-rapis.... It came out double as https://www.tokyoprogressive.org/journalist-ito-shiori-sues-alleged-rapis... <https://www.tokyoprogressive.org/journalist-ito-shiori-sues-alleged-rapis... (The full link was truncated with ... at the end, and the link appeared twice with the second instance preceded by "">") The embedded one did not come out embedded buy showed the text like this: Alternate link: 多摩川河川敷に男性の遺体、増水した川に流されたか <https://www.tokyoprogressive.org/%e5%a4%9a%e6%91%a9%e5%b7%9d%e6%b2%b3%e5%... QUESTION 1: Is there a preferred way to write links, or will there always be problems with the mail clients? (Even the web archive shows this problem though): https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/hyperkitty/list/discuss@list.tokyoprogres… See the top item Homeless man drowns in river during Typhoon and what I mean. IMAGE No image appears though one was added inline. And, as I said, a user was previously able to add one. I do not know how she did it. I also posted it to my web site instead of the newsletter for unrelated reasons. But there was an image (Originally got a warning the message was held because the attachment or something). So are there guidelines one whether/how to attach an image so that it makes it? Thanks

LMTP on unix socket

How do I configure mailman to use a unix socket for lmtp connections? Setting [mta] incoming: mailman.mta.null.NullMTA lmtp_host: /path/to/socket does not work. Mailman still tries to create a TCP socket.

Receiving 8bit-clean mail
by Alyssa Ross 20 Oct '19

20 Oct '19

A subscriber to a mailing list I administer has been sending 8bit UTF-8 encoded mail, with no further quoted-printable / base64 / etc. encoding. This is handled fine by my MTA and MUA, but Mailman seems to have trouble with it. When mail is sent out from Mailman, the « character is replaced by ??. Is this a bug, or is there just a configuration option or something I need to set? I couldn't find anything in the documentation.

max_delivery_threads
by Sven Buesing 16 Oct '19

16 Oct '19

Hi, we are currently running mailman version 3.3.0. We want to enable max_delivery_threads - we want to send personalized mails (To: ), and we hope that threading would speed things up - but it seems this option has no functionality despite being documented in the schema.cfg. Threading is compiled into python: >>> import sysconfig >>> print(sysconfig.get_config_vars('WITH_THREAD')) [1] Am I doing anything wrong or is the documentation simply wrong? This ist the mta-section of the mailman.cfg. [mta] incoming: mailman.mta.postfix.LMTP outgoing: mailman.mta.deliver.deliver max_delivery_threads: 20 max_recipients: 500 lmtp_host: 127.0.0.1 lmtp_port: 8024 smtp_host: 127.0.0.1 smtp_port: 25 configuration: python:mailman.config.postfix Regards, Sven

Mailman3-Users, First-time poster, long-time Mailman user (since August of 2002!). I brought up a fresh install of Mailman3 via the current Debian package alongside my current 2.1 setup (installed and updated from source since 2002) on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to show the display_name of a member in postorius in Members > Subscriber. I was trying to add {{ member.diplay_name }} in the template ${postorius}/templates/postorius/lists/members.html Here an abstract of where I inserted the code: [...] {% for member in members %} <tr> {% if role == 'subscriber' %} <td> <label class="checkbox-inline"> <input type="checkbox" class="member-checkbox" name="choices" id="id_choices_{{ forloop.counter0 }}" value="{{ member.email }}" /> {{ member.display_name }} <{{ member.email }}> </label> [...] I could not figure out why it wouldn't work. I'm running mailman3 Version 3.1.1-9 on an Ubuntu 18.04. Any idea what I was missing there? Thanks in advance for any help. - Ruben

Personalization issue when no To header?
by Alan So 08 Oct '19

08 Oct '19

We have ported a number of lists from mailman 2 to mailman 3 earlier. We cannot find any personalization setting in the mailman 3 web UI or using the mailman client. It is fine as it is not essential. However, recently we notice an issue. As the lists in the mailman 2 probably have personalization turned on, it looks like that the setting are also migrated by using "mailman import21". Recently, some users start sending mail simply with Bcc without any addresses in the To header. We notice the following error: Oct 08 11:26:03 2019 (1832) Uncaught runner exception: 'to' Oct 08 11:26:03 2019 (1832) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 173, in _one_iteration self._process_one_file(msg, msgdata) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 266, in _process_one_file keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/runners/outgoing.py", line 93, in _dispose self._func(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/mta/deliver.py", line 86, in deliver refused = agent.deliver(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/mta/base.py", line 163, in deliver callback(mlist, message_copy, msgdata_copy) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/mta/personalized.py", line 58, in personalize_to msg.replace_header('To', formataddr((name, recipient))) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/email/message.py", line 558, in replace_header raise KeyError(_name) KeyError: 'to' After tracing the source codes above, we suspect that the issue was caused by no To header due to personalization is turned on. Any quick suggestion of workarounds such as how to turn off personalization for all lists? We do not have much experiences with mailman shell. Thanks a lot.

Mailman 3 Internationalization setup
by Abhilash Raj 07 Oct '19

07 Oct '19

Hi All, Mailman 3 is now setup for continuous internationalization. We are using Hosted Weblate[1], which is the hosted service for the Weblate project[2]. It is actually quite nice and I've been learning how to properly document a Django project from it's documentation. Which brings me to it's documentation. Weblate has great documentation for translators[2]. The UI pretty simple and should be easy to navigate around. We have setup the workflow in a way that each commit in Gitlab generates a webhook and updates Weblate. Weblate is then able to pull all the changes in real time. To pull translations back into Gitlab, I have a custom script running every night that pulls translations (as commits) and generates pull requests against the upstream repos. Weblate has the ability to automatically push the translations back, but for security reasons, I didn't want to give a 3rd party service direct push access to our repos. I've been working on a Patch to Weblate[3], which would allow it to send translations as Merge Requests (as compared to direct-push). After it is merged and deployed at hosted.weblate.org, I hope I can retire my custom script. We have setup the following projects: - Mailman Core (https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/gnu-mailman/mailman/) - Postorius* (https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/gnu-mailman/translations/) - Hyperkitty (https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/gnu-mailman/hyperkitty/) - Django-mailman3 (https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/gnu-mailman/django-mailman3/) There should be empty .po files generated for most languages supported by Django and Mailman Core. If there are any questions or bugs related to source strings, please send out an email to mailman-developers(a)python.org. The current translation %age is pretty low, hopefully we'll be ale to get it close to Mailman 2 sometime soon :) [1]: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/gnu-mailman/ [2]: https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/user/translating.html [3]: https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate/pull/3024 [*] Yeah, the URL for Postorius is a bit weird, because it was called "translations" before. At the time, I didn't know the difference between a project and a translation component in Weblate terminologies. And they don't give out permissions to change the URL, so we're maybe stuck with it. -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

Mailman 3 installation documentation
by Abhilash Raj 07 Oct '19

07 Oct '19

Hi All, I have been trying to work on revamping the documentation site we have at https://docs.mailman3.org. It is on https:// but I am not sure why the http->https redirect doesn't work in Readthedocs. I have set it to "serve always from https". Anyway, it might not look too different right now, but there are some small re-organizations. I have been learning some new ReST and Sphinx tricks and been trying to cross-reference and link various sections and settings. The docs site shows up Mailman's logo now (I didn't even know we could do that ;-). There is a place[1] for all supported Django settings that Postorius and Hyperkitty have. I am also planning to add some common Django settings that often people have to lookup and is not fun for people from non-python backgrounds. Hopefully, it will make lives easier for administrators. I have reverted my own stupid decision to use "sudo pip3 install" in the docs to instead use virtualenv. The installation docs are going to grow to be more comprehensive. I am also working on mailman-web project[3], which should simply installation process for all the web components using a single project and provide better guidance on Django's settings file management and howto run manage.py commands. I have added a `mailman-web` command, which, for those of you familiar with internal details of Django, is going to be our custom manage.py script. It sets up settings correctly and would hopefully reduce the pain of using `django-admin` and/or finding out the right path for `manage.py` script. It is still not ready for prime time, but it is usable. Early adopters can play with it if they like! I would really appreciate if people who have tried to manually install Mailman 3 in the past would share their experiences about what they think could be documented better. You can reply here or open an issue[2]. The user documentation are going to follow, hopefully soon :) [1]: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-web.html#configure-postorius-hyp… [2]: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-suite-doc/issues [3]: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-web -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

confirm mail rejected
by Marc Sluiter 29 Sep '19

29 Sep '19

Hi, im trying to setup mailman and have an issue: first my environment: - I’m running postfix etc with "mailcow-dockerized": https://mailcow.github.io/mailcow-dockerized-docs/ - I’m running mailman with "docker-mailman": https://asynchronous.in/docker-mailman/ I got almost everything working (with some configuration modifications, see other mail). The only thing which doesn’t work is conformation mails, they are rejected: In the logs I see that postfix is trying both "liste-confirm+extension@domain" and "liste-confirm@domain" for another lookup map of type mysql (so "recipient_delimiter" is working), but not for the mailman map of type regexp. Just a wild guess, I didn't find anything about it: can it be that “recipient_delimiter" doesn't work for “regexp" maps? For now I worked around this issue by manually modifying the confirm regex in "postfix_lmtp” to /^liste-confirm\+.*(a)domain\.tld$/ Does anyone have an idea why the regexp map isn’t working for me and at least 1 other user (see https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/401)? Would my workaround be a long term solution which could be implemented in mailman? That would mean that mailman could work independent of the “recipient_delimiter” setting (or do I oversee something?) Thanks and greetings, Marc

Linking to a forum thread from a (news) website.
by Paul Arenson 25 Sep '19

25 Sep '19

I have been struggling to get this right and I think I have finally done it. I have a website with many opinion and news articles. I have linked from the article to a pre-written thread, such as from here: EXAMPLE WEBSITE ARTICLE https://www.tokyoprogressive.org/remembering-the-tsushima-maru-disaster-75-… to EXAMPLE THREAD ON LIST Title: Remembering the Tsushima Maru Disaster 75 Years Later https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/hyperkitty/list/discuss@list.tokyoprogres… PROBLEM The problem is that this does not show the subsequent comment that was added. And SHOW REPLIES BY DATE does not do it either. SOLUTION I figured out that all replies are listed under Re:, so if the first comment does not have the Re:, then it gets cut off. So if I click https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/hyperkitty/list/discuss@list.tokyoprogres… you will see all the subsequent posts. Since I want to post a link BEFORE anyone starts replying, I have to make my first post in the thread titled Re: EXAMPLE OF NEW POSTING STYLE Make sure the thread has a Re: in it. (Actually I made a mistake and wrote Re; and it still worked.) https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/hyperkitty/list/discuss@list.tokyoprogres… Or: https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/hyperkitty/list/discuss@list.tokyoprogres… ----------------- QUESTION Am I correct that if I want to create a thread and link to it, but make sure the first note is included, I need to make the thread title: Re: Something? -----------------

Manual setup - permissions
by Tobias Hachmer 25 Sep '19

25 Sep '19

Hello, I'm new to mailman3 and started to setup an instance from scratch per hand, but I'm struggeling running the peaces with the correct user/permissions. I can't find anything regarding running this and that with that user in the docs, so I have the following: virtualenv_dir: /opt/venvs/mailman3 Installed packages in venv: - "Django>=1.11" - "django-haystack" - "libsass" - "mailman==3.3.0" - "mailmanclient" - "mailman-hyperkitty==1.1.0" - "postorius==1.3.0" - "hyperkitty==1.3.0" - "whoosh" - "uwsgi" I have installed the core stuff in /opt/mailman3/core, all is owned by user+group "mailman3": root@host:/opt/mailman3# tree . ├── core │ ├── etc │ │ ├── hyperkitty.cfg │ │ ├── mailman.cfg │ │ └── uwsgi.ini │ ├── log │ │ ├── bounce.log │ │ ├── debug.log │ │ ├── mailman.log │ │ ├── plugins.log │ │ └── smtp.log │ └── var │ ├── archives │ │ └── hyperkitty │ │ └── spool │ │ ├── ... │ ├── cache │ ├── data │ │ ├── mailman.db │ │ ├── postfix_domains │ │ ├── postfix_domains.db │ │ ├── postfix_lmtp │ │ └── postfix_lmtp.db │ ├── lists │ │ └── admin.lists.... │ ├── locks │ ├── master.lck │ ├── master.lck|...|...|... │ ├── master.pid │ ├── message" │ │ ├── ... │ ├── queue │ │ ├── archive │ │ ├── bad │ │ ├── bounces │ │ ├── command │ │ ├── digest │ │ ├── in │ │ ├── nntp │ │ ├── out │ │ ├── pipeline │ │ ├── retry │ │ ├── shunt │ │ └── virgin │ └── templates The django project is installed in /opt/mailman3/web, all is owned by user+group "nginx": └── web └── project ├── db │ └── mailmansuite.db ├── emails ├── fulltext_index │ └── _MAIN_0.toc ├── logs │ ├── mailmansuite.log │ ├── uwsgi-error.log │ └── uwsgi.log ├── manage.py ├── __pycache__ │ ├── settings.cpython-35.pyc │ └── urls.cpython-35.pyc ├── run │ └── uwsgi.sock ├── settings.py ├── static ├── urls.py └── wsgi.py The mailman3 core ist running with user+group "mailman3".

Now, running the scheduled tasks (which run from user+group "nginx") for django I ran into permission problems, because the nginx user can't access/write to the needed files in /opt/mailman3/core/... If anyone of you is able to read ansible tasks, this is how I set this up via ansible: https://github.com/freifunk-mwu/ansible-ffmwu/blob/mail/roles/service-bundl… I would appreciate any hints how to run the different peaces of mailman3 with the correct user/groups/permissions. Thanks in advance, Tobias

Issues with migrating from Mailman2 to Mailman 3
by Uwe Grasshoff 23 Sep '19

23 Sep '19

Hello all, I'm currently trying to convert a Debian based mailman2 installation to a docker based mailman3 installation. I successfully running the mailman-web and mailman-core containers together with the database container but I'm struggling with the import of the old mailing lists. In the core container I'm running this two commands for every mailing list: mailman create mailman(a)example.com mailman import21 mailman(a)example.com /oldmailman/lists/mailman/config.pck Then I'm switching over to the mailman-web container and running this two commands: python3.6 manage.py hyperkitty_import -l mailman(a)example.com /oldmailman/archives/private/mailman.mbox/mailman.mbox python3.6 manage.py update_index_one_list mailman(a)example.com I'm getting no errors or something else which could indicate a problem. After that I'm looking into the web interface http://example.com/postorius/lists/ There I can only see the public mailing list and the private ones are not shown there (as expected). When I then try to login with the List Manager credentials of the lists (from mailman2) I can't login in. So I thought maybe I have to "register" myself again to than get access to the list management. So I tried that but when I filled out the form and click "Register" I'm presented with an error page which titles "Serverfehler" (Server error in german) and the message "An error occurred while processing your request." When I then go back a step and try to register again I got the error message that the username is already taken. When I then try to login I can't login I always get the "An error occurred while processing your request." page. Does anyone have an idea what point I'm missing? -- With best Regards Uwe Grasshoff

Weird response to postings after subscriptions and accounts
by Paul Arenson 23 Sep '19

23 Sep '19

I accidentally posted to a test account I had not actually used. Am reposting to my correct account. Sorry to the moderators. In my test of the two forms of signup, I am getting these unexpected results. Is it my settings or is something weird within the program itself? 1) https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/postorius/lists/discuss.list.tokyoprogres… 2) Choose "You can also subscribe without creating an account. If you wish to do so, please use the form below" 3) Then I have to approve it. They get "Welcome to the "Discuss" mailing list! To post to this list, send your email to: discuss(a)list.tokyoprogressive.org 4) But I have to approve it.I assume this is because they do not yet have a real account. And they should be listed as a NON MEMBER? 5) But even when they sign up here: https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/accounts/signup/?next=%2Fpostorius%2Flist… they get an email from my provider (NOT MY LIST????) as follows: "Hello from mailman3.emwd.com! You're receiving this e-mail because user iCloud has given yours as an e-mail address to connect their account. To confirm this is correct, go to https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/accounts/confirm-email/MTE3:1iA44k:E7w7xh… Thank you from mailman3.emwd.com! mailman3.emwd.com" 6) And this is where it gets weird. If they send from their email program and get the welcome (Welcome to the "Discuss" mailing list! To post to this list, send your email to: discuss(a)list.tokyoprogressive.org You can unsubscribe or make adjustments to your options via email by sending a message to....... I then get a notice: "Your mail to 'discuss(a)list.tokyoprogressive.org' with the subject test notice Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval. The message is being held because: The message is not from a list member" 7) While if they send FROM THE interface it goes through. 8) What I am confused about. Signing up for an account should make them a member, right? Subscribing should make them a non member, no? But here it seems that both make them a non member. And worse, someone with an account sending from the Interface has their message get through while the same person sending from an email program has me get a notice that a non member is trying to post. Before I can move my actual members over from another mailing list provider, I want to make sure what works and what doesn't. Thanks. PS I am running out of test accounts to use to test my own setup. Thanks. paul!!!Subscribe to this list still shows up at the bottom.

"Cannot connect to SMTP server localhost on port 25"
by Manos Pitsidianakis 22 Sep '19

22 Sep '19

Hello, I've been getting "Cannot connect to SMTP server localhost on port 25" from runner "out" in mailman.log over some mails stuck in shunt queue, postfix logs show nothing when this happens, tcpdump on lo interface port 25 shows nothing. The log shows up when I start mailman, and then it seems not to show up again. This is my mailman.cfg's relevant parts: [mta] verp_confirmations: yes verp_personalized_deliveries: yes verp_delivery_interval: 1 incoming: mailman.mta.postfix.LMTP outgoing: mailman.mta.deliver.deliver lmtp_host: localhost lmtp_port: 8024 smtp_host: localhost smtp_port: 25 configuration: python:mailman.config.postfix I can do 'telnet localhost 25' just fine, including as mailman user. I can send and receive mail on my mail server. I tried making a test list and sent/received messages fine. smtp debug logs show "Using agent: <mailman.mta.deliver.Deliver object at 0x7fdd9793c940>" and "IndividualDelivery to: <email(a)address.tld>" on repeat, where the email address is one of the addresses of the shunted mails. version 3.2.2

Huge performance issue: Mailman doesn't (seem to) receive any mails.
by Henrik Rasmussen 20 Sep '19

20 Sep '19

I am running maxking/mailman-*:0.2 (GNU Mailman 3.2.0 (La Villa Strangiato)). It looks like Mailman is not receiving (enough) mails, but are keps in the Postfix queue and I can't figure out why. I get a lot of "mail for [172.19.199.2]:8024 is using up 7841 of 7841 active queue entries" in the postfix container log (more postfix log at the buttom.

My list has been switched from public to private archives, but they are still visible

Can anyone help with this? I set my list to private archives today. Up until then, it was pubic. And yet, if you go to the list page, you will see that if you click archives (top left), you can see them. (Filled with a bunch of tests posts for now) https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/postorius/lists/discuss.list.tokyoprogres… Am I misunderstanding what a private archive is? Is something wrong with my setup (which is hosted)? Thank you.

Mailing List Description that can't be modified by list owners
by chilfer＠unr.edu 20 Sep '19

20 Sep '19

Is there a way to create an additional mailing list field or lock down the current Description or Information fields so they are not modifiable by a list owner? The goal is to have a field that identifies the department or area a list belongs to so that it's easier to find if an owner leaves the organization and the owner needs to be updated on multiple lists.

Hi, I'm currently running a test setup of MM3 using Mark Sapiros approach with two venv. I also adopted his post-upgrade-script for the web part (django). Just some minutes ago I updated the packages of my test setup with pip3 where hyperkitty is now 1.3.0 When runnin the post-upgrade-script I get the following error message: Execution of msgfmt failed: /opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/hyperkitty/locale/nb_NO/LC_MESSAGES/django.po:630: duplicate message definition... /opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/hyperkitty/locale/nb_NO/LC_MESSAGES/django.po:273: ...this is the location of the first definition msgfmt: found 1 fatal error Not sure whether this is an error of MM3 or one of its dependency packages.

HyperKitty and duplicate emails across maillists
by Derek Lambert 17 Sep '19

17 Sep '19

How does HyperKitty handle duplicate messages/message-ids across maillists? We have quite a few lists that are members of other lists. I'm in the process of importing our old Mailman 2.1 archives and seeing a lot of duplicate message errors, and wondering if this is why. Would new messages coming into Mailman be handled the same way? Thanks, Derek

Template's encoding setup

I use Lithuanian language (it has special characters like ąčįū...) for regular message template feature. I noticed that some posts come correct, but some have question marks (?) in places of these characters. Looks like there is sittings trick. But footers adds mailman, so it should be always correct, or it depends on senders environment setup? Kind regards Ugnius

Alter Messages: Reply to confusion
by paul＠arenson.org 12 Sep '19

12 Sep '19

This is one thing I am confused about. The explanations in the settings about No Munging, etc. are not completely clear. MY GOAL What I want to make sure, since this is a discussion list, is that most messages go to the mailing list, not to individuals. I plan to put something in one of the templates to remind people that a reply goes to the discussion list. If they do not want to send it to everyone, they should send to the original poster. 1) I understand there are plusses and minuses but I am not sure I understand the explanation given. If it IS preferable to use NO MUNGING, how do I make sure that this is easy to accomplish? 2) I can put something in the footer of every message to remind people, but first I need confirmation of what I should choose in this section. Thanks in advance.

Mailman 3 installation, no mails in hyperkitty, unable to add footer.
by ugniusviln＠gmail.com 12 Sep '19

12 Sep '19

I have read documentation, but still have stupid questions, could You please help, because I can't make it working. I do not understand something important. I have no experience with python at all. I have mailman 3, python 3.5 in my debian OS system, and additional packages like uwsgi and ect. using https://buildmedia.readthedocs.org/media/pdf/gnu-mailman/latest/gnu-mailman… about till chapter 6. I understand mailman suite has hyperkitty already. But I am not sure about: 1. Does mailman-suite have hyper-kitty inside? Because if I run $python manage.py runserver - it runs. In installed it under dedicated OS user home and fonfigured to run. I can create lists, event add lists to hyperkitty page using: $django-admin runjob new_lists_from_mailman list server sends messages to list members as well. But nothing happens more. No emails come to hyperkitty, arciver log 0 size. $ python manage.py runjobs -l shows the lists of the jobs, so seems nothing to add. Except uwsgi.ini, I have only 2 configuration files in mailman-suite project directory: settings.py and mailman.cfg So I do not understand what did I configured badly. 2. If I (using Postorius web interface) add footer template to my list under regular message, something strange happens. Mailman stops to send messages for list members. No any entries in the logs. Just Mailman log writes: "unable to connect localhost port 25" and no more explanation. If I delete list's footer template (web interface), mailman starts working again. What is bad here? How to add custom footer? In mailman 2 if was working so good and was easy to setup.

Could You please confirm that this parameter should be placed in mailman-hyperkitty.cfg file?

HYPERKITTY_ATTACHMENT_FOLDER
by Ugnius S 11 Sep '19

11 Sep '19

Hi. Can anybody send example how to set it? It is mentioned in documentation, but very vaguely. HYPERKITTY_ATTACHMENT_FOLDER = /full/unix/path HYPERKITTY_ATTACHMENT_FOLDER = http://localhost:8000/something HYPERKITTY_ATTACHMENT_FOLDER = ./var/data/something/ Has anybody experience of using this, maybe have recommendations of using it? Better under project user or better under web content owner where the static content is. I would like to store attachments separately to avoid growing database. Hyperkitty documentation: By default, HyperKitty stores the email attachments in the database. If you would rather have them stored on the filesystem, you can set the HYPERKITTY_ATTACHMENT_FOLDER configuration value to a directory. Make sure that the user running the Django process (for example, apache or www-data) has the permissions to write in this directory. -------------

Custom templates error and archive link
by Ugnius S 11 Sep '19

11 Sep '19

My server uses https connection. According this error seems that certificate of course has not localhost written in it: requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /mailman3/api/ templates/list/example.com/list:user:notice:welcome (Caused by SSLError(CertificateError("hostname 'localhost' doesn't match either of 'listserv.example.com', 'example.com', 'www.example.com ",),)) ------ Second question, is archiver template example: $hyperkitty_url: Permalink to archived message in Hyperkitty If to set as in the example, then it add " : " to the end of the line, and link does not work. I would recommend to update it. My question is: My server's address is listserv.example.com, but mailman to email message variable $hyperkitty replaces like https://example.com/.... What does then happen? https://example.com does not point to my web interface address. I have resolved it with the Apache2 redirection tools, but is it possible to set it correct in mailman's configuration? Kind regards Ugnius

Successfully installed Django-2.2.5 ... Which may or may not be causing a later error when creating superuser: ImportError: No module named django.core.management Am I missing the obvious somewhere?

Google auth issue redirect_uri_mismatch
by Ugnius S 09 Sep '19

09 Sep '19

Hi. New question about configuration, maybe somebody has experience and know what I should change it. I have tried to implement Google authorisation. I have created Google credentials keys and successfully added using Django admin page. I use UWSGI proxy for apache setup like "ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8002", UWSGI runs on 0.0.0.0:8002. (So Appache from external address redirects to internal) What happens when I try Google auth... If I set Authorised redirect URIs: http://lists.example.com/accounts/google/login/callback/ , Google gives me error 400 Error: redirect_uri_mismatch and requests for: http://127.0.0.1:8002/accounts/google/login/callback/ If I set that requested address to Google, then Google authorises me, but and after authorisation redirects to http://127.0.0.1:8002/accounts/google....../.... (very long line) Of course this internal address does not open, but... If I just manually replace part of address just: http://127.0.0.1:8002 replace to https://lists.example.com/.../...(long line) this makes me get in as authorised user to the page. How to make django to send external request to Google? Because Google should not point back to internal address... This seems simple, but I do not find what I should change in the configuration: Apache or Django or uwsgi.ini I hope anybody of You have experience and made it to run. Kind regards Ugnius

Dmarc settings and
by paul＠arenson.org 08 Sep '19

In a long thread I asked this but have not gotten a clear enough explanation. Presumably, to insure fewer problems with users of Yahoo etc,, there seem to be two settings: 1) Alter messages 2) Dmarc mitigations I don’t understand how my choice in one affect the other, if they do even, Two experts have tried to help, but I think I need a little hand holding. I understand there is no consumer ready manual and all I have found us this: https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/handlers/docs/dmarc-mi… My settings; REPLY GOES TO LIST (alter messages)--current settings REPLACE FROM: with list (DMARC mitigations) -> current settings DMARCH Mitigation YES OR NO (DMARC mitigations)--> currently NO I was told that Dmarc mitigations YES might prevent people from not getting mail How about Replace from with list? How about reply goes to list? In other words, what is the relationship between these two different menu items and the effect of the settings in one on the settings of the other? Can anyone help a confused would be happy user? Thanks? If so, what about the Alter Messages settings:

sqlite3 Database "read only" error on mailman_sync job
by ugniusviln＠gmail.com 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

Hi. All the project installation is under the same user / path and it works. Archiving working as well, (just one remark: no matter what to set in postorius, hyperkitty shows list as public) I have found work around - it is possible to change list as private in "admin" page. I started to get issues with runjobs after I have created couple of new lists with "no archive" option. If as owner user from project home I run: django-admin mailman_sync Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/user/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/db/backends/utils.py", line 84, in _execute return self.cursor.execute(sql, params) File "/home/user/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/db/backends/sqlite3/base.py", line 383, in execute return Database.Cursor.execute(self, query, params) sqlite3.OperationalError: attempt to write a readonly database "django-admin runjob sync_mailman " - makes read only errors as well. "django-admin runjob new_lists_from_mailman" django.db.utils.OperationalError: attempt to write a readonly database END TRACEBACK I did not find information how to fix this. It was worked without errors before. I noticed, that if I stop mailman, "django-admin mailman_sync" starts to work. If I start "mailman start", then "django-admin mailman_sync" failing again. I did not check other jobs, but I think what is related to database, will get errors. Seems mailman locking the database. It is not a file permissions issue. Mailman db location is: /project_directory/var/data/mailman.db if to rename /project_directory/var/data/mailman.db to something, mailman creates database file size 0, django-admin runjobs start working, but of course postorius stops working. I did it for testing. I have returned this database file back, postorius started to work again, but django-admin runjobs does not work, error: "database read only". Please help me how to fix this issue.

Mass subscribe bug - if you delete and re-add users it does not use updated info
by roger＠reasonal.com 05 Sep '19

05 Sep '19

Hi all -- think this is a bug. I had added some users as a mass subscribe. Some were Name Surname <name(a)foo.bar> format, some were just email addresses. I wanted to update the member list with complete name & email addresses. I unsubscribed the partials, and re-added them as full versions. However the updated member list keeps showing the partial address only. This bug also works the other way. I added "Bob Smith <bob(a)bob.com>", checked it was there in list. Unsubscribed the address, and then re-added as "bob(a)bob.com" -- now in the members list it appears as the full "Bob Smith <bob(a)bob.com>.

Posting replies vs starting a thread via email
by paul＠arenson.org 05 Sep '19

05 Sep '19

In my tests where replies go to the list, when a person uses the email client? So far a reply to the original message and a reply to a reply to a reply all go in the same thread. Is this standard? Do I have to warn users not to have endless Re re re re? And the other question is what happens if a user sends a message via email with a new subject? Does the list accept it as a new thread? This should be one of my last big questions. Thank you. Paul

Amazon SES
by Andrew Bernard 05 Sep '19

05 Sep '19

Is it possible to use Amazon SES with Mailman? Despite my best efforts, I have conclusively verified my sending domain, but Amazon SES rejects mails with the 'sender email not verified' message. If you verify a domain, you do not have to verift individual senders. The help from amazon SES mentions it looks at several headers, but I am not sure what is what. Has anybody had success with this?

How to delete an archive
by Andrew Bernard 05 Sep '19

I deleted a list but I want to delete the archive as well. How do you do that? Also, I had a list called Test. I deleted it. I made a new list called Testing, with a different email address, bu the archive points to the test list. This seems to be messed up. Why? I am sorry to say I have had continuous trouble with many aspects of Hyperkitty from the beginning several months ago. I know that is not helpful, but I am starting to wonder about all this. Andrew

Editing templates from settings

Hello again. Gradually coming along thanks to the help of other members. One thing I want to do is edit my headers or footers to have key info about my site. But it seems even if I skip spaces, when a message is received the spaces disappear. Likewise, is there any way to add basic formatting like BOLD? For example, if I make a footer like this... Skipping a space here __/__/__/__/__/_/__/__/__/__/ Our List _/__/__/__/__/_/__/__/__/__/ Skipping a space here ...the centering disappears, as do the skipped spaces, meaning the message after a header or before a footer looks cluttered, Is there a fix? Thank you.

Basic settings for a discussion list
by paul＠arenson.org 05 Sep '19

05 Sep '19

Over the last 20 hours I have been trying to figure out setup for list members to sign up. One person has kindly helped out, though I am still unsure of the difference between the several signups. That thread is here and I welcome more advice. https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… But it occurs to me that my problem is that I have not actually configured my list. So this thread is for help on that. I have found a guide for general users here: http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/userguide.html But I have only found a highly technical guide for administrators here: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailmanclient/en/latest/src/mailmanclien… It is written for coders and I am looking for a guide similar to the one for users. It seems not to exist yet. WHAT I WANT Discussion only list. Ideally anyone who signs up via the various ways should be able to get the archives and post via email and the interface if they want. The list should be closed to others. In the absence of any guide, all I can do is cross check with you guys and hope I am on the right track. I am non technical, although I managed a Mailman 2 list without difficulty. 1) FIRST ANOMALY Under https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/postorius/accounts/subscriptions/ I see myself twice: List Name Subscription Address Delivery Mode Role discuss.list.tokyoprogressive.org paul(a)tokyoprogressive.org None member discuss.list.tokyoprogressive.org paul(a)tokyoprogressive.org regular owner Is this correct? I added My name in one field somewhere and this is the result. I even got a welcome message. I think it is because I subscribed to my own list.If this was not necessary, what should I do? Global based preferences are listed. Address and email based ones are not showing either enabled or disabled. 2) MANAGE LISTS For myself I have done the following in my MAILING LIST SETTINGS Subscribe to this list My email and name (Maybe that is why i am listed twice) Now I see 3) Users For now only me- I am listed as member and owner. There will be no other moderators or owners I have no idea what a non member is (if they register aren't they a member?) 4) Templates This is showing nothing at this point. Before it was. I am not sure what i did to stop it from showing. Perhaps because I made it a private list? 5) Settings a) List identity I have it set for NOT SHOWING on the Index page because I will link to it from my news magazine website as a way to comment on articles. Is this ok? Other data will be filled in later. I think I am confusing this with private list. I also will have no other list. b) AUTO RESPOND LIST OWNER-- I added a short note thanking people. Respond and Continue Processing c) AUTO RESPOND POSTER--Your message has been been received. If you are a member, it should be posted soon. Respond and Continue Processing d) AUTO RESPOND REQUESTS--No auto response OTHER THINGS DEFAULT e) URL WELCOME MESSAGE--NOT SURE. I want people to subscribe themselves but I also have 500 people from another list from DADA I will import. I want them automatically be able to post. Is it possible? If so, I hope to add them manually. DO I compose a text on my website and welcome them by adding the URL, or enter it in my list? f) NOTIFY OF MEMBERSHIP CHANGES--Yes g) ALTER MESSAGES ---I have left most things as they are. However, as this is a discussion list, I want replies ONLY to go to the list. I chose that. h) DMARC --I have left as is i) DIGEST--I have left as is 6) MASS OPERATIONS--I have left as is 7) BAN--left as is 8) MESSAGE ACCEPTANCE--I have left as is 9) HEADER FILTERS--left as is 10) ARCHIVES--Private Archives (Maybe this is why templates do not show???) 11) SUBSCRIPTION POLICY--MODERATE-- I intend to send them an email to confirm their reasons for subscribing to avoid spammers. LAST THING. My Gravity does not work. I edited it online as per instructions but it does not appear. That is all I can think of. Thanks in advance. paul

Trying to configure a list (hosted)
by paul＠arenson.org 04 Sep '19

04 Sep '19

Is there a how to on how to configure a list? For example, using a hosted option, I see this menu: Subscription requests Held messages Users Templates Settings Mass operations Banned addresses Header filters And cling on settings, for example. I have already removed my list from the list of lists on the server since I want my website users to only see my list. They can either do that here https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/postorius/lists/discuss.list.tokyoprogres… or here https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/accounts/signup/ I actually do not WANT people to join without being able to use the web interface because it is intended to be a discussion list. So the option to subscribe without creating an account. is confusing to me, which is why I prefer the latter. BUT...using a test of signing up myself (using 3 other email addresses I have), some using the subscription option and some using the bottom one (no account), all the email addresses end up in my members list and non end up in my non members list. (So I am wondering what a non member is. I had thought it was someone who signed up without registering (just name, no password), but if so i wonder why all 3 of my addresses end up in the members place. Lastly, I want to configure it as a discussion list. However, I do not see that option, which was clear in MAILMAN 2. (And I understand that if someone registers without making an account, I cannot set them myself to have an account enabling them to see the archives and post from the web? If it IS possible, that would be great, because the purpose of the archives in my case is to enable better discussions than if one has only to refer to their past emails.) That is about it for now, but I am stuck on this right now and a user manual for non techie people, if it exists, would be nice. I see one for list members but not administrators. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place? Thanks paul

Settings: No templates are visible in settings

I am struggling to find out why I do not see TEMPLATES in the Settings. When I first logged they were there. Many of them. Then, toying with the settings, they disappeared. I cannot find them now. Originally i thought I would not list the mailing list but changed my mind. Likewise, archives are now listed as public. I am still thinking about that. In any case, I want to see if there are templates to allow me to change headers or footers in messages, such as give the address of the list. Thank you for your advice. P.S> Sorry i asked too many questions the other day. Trying to keep this brief.

Status of hosting options after a year for non techies

Hi all This is Paul Arenson in Japan. I temporarily dropped off the list year ago when it was clear there was no Cpanel Solution forthcoming. I thought I would check in again. I used to be on CPanel and I was advised it might be a wait. 1) I am now on Plesk. I heard Plesk might allow Docker and installation may be possible. Am I misinformed or a possibility? --->Assuming no, I guess jump to question 4. 2) Assuming yes, I see a list of people who can possibly help install. https://wiki.list.org/COM/Mailman%20consulting%20services Only a few people on it. Has anyone used any or can recommend someone. 3) There is also a Python list, but before I submit a request, is this something that works on general. For example, when a new version or bug release comes up, will I need to call on the person or persons again? Is it still better to wait? 4) Hosting services: Only a few listed at https://wiki.list.org/COM/Mailman%20hosting%20services are or Mailman 3. Has anyone used this: https://mailman3.com The site seems incomplete. Or this: https://maadix.net/en/servers Looks good. Might be a bit expensive for my use. Or this: https://www.mailmanhost.com/mailman-3-hosting/ Also looks good. A long time ago we corresponded. They seem reasonable. My list is about 700 people. These seem to be the same people: https://www.emwd.com/mailman-3-shared-list-hosting/ Any others I should know about? Thanks in advance. paul arenson japan

I did a git pull today. Now I get the following error and the archives wont display: compressor.exceptions.OfflineGenerationError: You have offline compression enabled but key "b5ae52a1ebb585c556edceb45a148cb948b2a2673d133a340a90cd02fdd34828" is missing from offline manifest. You may need to run "python manage.py compress". Here is the original content: Any clues?

qcluster CPU usage

Recently the qcluster program is engaging the CPU continuously at about 5% CPU. While that may not be much, previously it was not doing this. What could be the cause of this? I cant see any warnings in the logs.

Hyperkitty reply indent
by Andrew Bernard 16 Aug '19

16 Aug '19

Is there any way the indent in the thread view can be reduced or set to zero? My users are complaining that by the time you have a reply four or five deep the view on a mobile phone leaves only one or two words, because it does not wrap responsively correctly (have I set something wrongly?) Andrew

Question after upgrade to mm 3.2.3 and latest postorius
by David Krantz 13 Aug '19

13 Aug '19

Hi all, I have just upgraded to mailman 3.2.3. My installation is from the git sources and I use two different venv:s, one for the web part as I did not want to compile the web server plugin to a newer python version than 3.5, and one venv for the rest running python 3.7. Apart from some missing dependencies and some changes that affected the django config I just have two issues with postorius: 1. The index page with all lists is not sorted in any useful way although it is based on something as the order seems to be stable. Prior to the upgrade the lists were sorted in alphabetical order after list name which is a lot more usable for me as admin. If I click the link at the bottom with "click to view all lists" I get the old behaviour. 2. The template menu simply does not work, it seems as if some database table is missing even after running migrations. Django logs the following: ERROR 2019-08-11 20:58:55,038 exception 11837 139756347221760 Internal Server Error: /mailman3/lists/TESTLIST/templates Traceback (most recent call last): File "/...VENV3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/db/backends/utils.py", line 85, in _execute return self.cursor.execute(sql, params) psycopg2.errors.UndefinedTable: relation "postorius_emailtemplate" does not exist LINE 1: ...ext", "postorius_emailtemplate"."identifier" FROM "postorius..

exposing Mailman3 API securely
by dancab＠caltech.edu 05 Aug '19

05 Aug '19

I'm working on a container based Mailman3 solution for my university. We have a help desk tool which needs to access the API remotely for creating and deleting Mailman lists. The API will be restricted to a private network, behind a firewall, etc. What is the simplest way to expose the API to an external host? At the moment, I seem to have this partially working via an Apache virtual host configuration which simply proxies via api.example.edu:80 to localhost:8001 on the container. I'm able to remotely use the mailmanclient module for the client.lists, client.system and client.members commands. However running client.domains generates an API connection error. So it seems unstable. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks. ---- Dan Caballero Systems Administrator Academic Computing Solutions IMSS - Caltech https://imss.caltech.edu

Replies unthreading
by Andrew Bernard 01 Aug '19

01 Aug '19

In my new list, I have a user - one of the foundation members, so an important use case - who will not be talked out of using a very old version of Eudora (!) for mail. Replies to threads from that mailer keep sometimes being properly threaded in Hyperkitty and then randomly jumping out into a new thread. This messes up the web view of the threads, and it's not right. Yet the threading appears to be correct in mail programs such as Thunderbird, using the email based interface to the list. Have others seen such behaviour with ancient mailers? Is it the mailer, or is there a known issue with threading the web interface? Looking carefully at message ID's and how they are threaded to examine the behaviour, I can't see what is causing this. Possibly some interaction with other RFC-822 headers? Andrew

Authenticating against Hyperkitty's DB
by Marvin Gülker 29 Jul '19

29 Jul '19

Hi, inspired by the question about LDAP, I want to ask a related question. We're currently thinking about adding a wiki to our small OSS project, and requiring users to have multiple accounts for the same project is nonsense. We don't have LDAP set up yet, but we do have a running Mailman 3 installation, including Hyperkitty. Thus I thought about whether it's possible to just write some glue script that authenticates against the user information in Hyperkitty's database. Creating an account for Hyperkitty would then be sufficient to get access to the wiki. Could someone give me a hint where and in what format Hyperkitty stores the user information into its database?

Exim, Mailman3 and missing Message-ID:
by Robert Lister 29 Jul '19

29 Jul '19

Just a note that may help some people. After a bit of a learning curve, managed to get Mailman3 working in Debian 10 using the Debian package. I have mailman3-full + exim4 + apache2 setup: I did quite a lot of testing and getting it working, then when all seemed well, declared success and made it live. As (bad) luck would have it, the very first real message bounced: :-( 2019-07-25 20:53:09 1hqjnY-0005ms-RD <= xxxxxxx(a)ntlworld.com H=cloudi.spamtitan.com [52.26.55.167] P=esmtps X=TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256 CV=no S=7854 DKIM=ntlworld.com 2019-07-25 20:53:09 1hqjnY-0005ms-RD ** mylist(a)lentil.org R=mailman3_router T=mailman3_t H=127.0.0.1 [127.0.0.1]: LMTP error after DATA: 550 No Message-ID header provided 2019-07-25 20:53:09 1hqjnZ-0005mx-3F <= <> R=1hqjnY-0005ms-RD U=Debian-exim P=local S=9222 The user forwarded me the bounce, which contained the original message and headers, and indeed the original message did not contain a Message-ID: header. (Oddly, his message to me reporting the error using the same mail client DID contain a Message-ID: header.) Mail client: X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook 16.0 So it seems in certain circumstances, Outlook doesn't put a Message-ID: header in its messages. The change from Mailman2.x to Mailman3 means it's now using LMTP to deliver to mailman instead of a local submission seems to have exposed this issue. Exim tries to be helpful for "locally submitted" messages: <https://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-message_proces…> "12. The Message-ID: header line If a locally-generated or submission-mode incoming message does not contain a Message-ID: or Resent-Message-ID: header line, and the suppress_local_fixups control is not set, Exim adds a suitable header line to the message. If there are any Resent-: headers in the message, it creates Resent-Message-ID:. The id is constructed from Exim's internal message id, preceded by the letter E to ensure it starts with a letter, and followed by @ and the primary host name." However: "Note: Messages received over TCP/IP on the loopback interface (127.0.0.1 or ::1) are not considered to be locally-originated. Exim does not treat the loopback interface specially in any way." Therefore, Mailman3 using LMTP means exim will NOT "fix up" this problem before mailman3 receives the message. My solution for now (apart from telling people not to use old broken Outlook!) is to modify the exim mailman3_transport so that any message with a missing Message-ID: will have one generated by exim before it's passed to LMTP. This reproduces the same behaviour exim uses for locally submitted messages. (headers_remove ensures that we end up only with one Message-ID: header and not two, then we put back either the original Message-ID, or if that's not there, use Exim's ID to generate a new Message-ID header.) Here's an updated version of the example at: https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/mta.html#exim # /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/25_mm3_macros # The colon-separated list of domains served by Mailman. domainlist mm_domains=list.example.net MM3_LMTP_PORT=8024 # MM3_HOME must be set to mailman's var directory, wherever it is # according to your installation. # debian default is /var/lib/mailman3 MM3_HOME=/opt/mailman/var MM3_UID=list MM3_GID=list ################################################################ # The configuration below is boilerplate: # you should not need to change it. # The path to the list receipt (used as the required file when # matching list addresses) MM3_LISTCHK=MM3_HOME/lists/${local_part}.${domain} # /etc/exim4/conf.d/router/455_mm3_router mailman3_router: driver = accept domains = +mm_domains require_files = MM3_LISTCHK local_part_suffix_optional local_part_suffix = \ -bounces : -bounces+* : \ -confirm : -confirm+* : \ -join : -leave : \ -owner : -request : \ -subscribe : -unsubscribe transport = mailman3_transport # /etc/exim4/conf.d/transport/55_mm3_transport mailman3_transport: driver = smtp protocol = lmtp allow_localhost hosts = localhost port = MM3_LMTP_PORT rcpt_include_affixes = true mailman3_transport: driver = smtp protocol = lmtp allow_localhost hosts = localhost port = MM3_LMTP_PORT rcpt_include_affixes = true headers_remove = message-id headers_add = "Message-ID: ${if def:header_message-id:{$h_message-id:}{<E${message_exim_id}@${qualify_domain}>}}"

Mailman 3 Installation Assistance
by brian＠emwd.com 26 Jul '19

26 Jul '19

I am making a serious attempt at installing Mailman 3 using docker. I have a CentOS 7 server setup via Linode. I am using the following documentation to setup a Mailman 3 server: https://xiaoxing.us/2018/01/02/Deploy-Mailman-3-on-AWS-using-Docker/ I have Docker, Postfix, and Nginx installed and working fine. The installation of the Mailman 3 container went fine. However I am getting the following error when I go to test Posterius via shell: curl http://172.19.199.3:8000/postorius/lists/ curl: (7) Failed connect to 172.19.199.3:8000; Connection refused I assume this has something to do with uwsgi which I have no experience with. Appreciate any assistance with getting Mailman 3 up and running. Thanks! Brian Carpenter

Delete a single email or thread from hyperkitty archive

How can one do this? Raw database access gets you involved in all the usual foreign key constraints. I don't know how to make use of this information: https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty/commit/6e3e6a5270f37543a757d76c0aee12… After a very large import of decades of data, I need to delete just one wrong mail that is corrupt. I think it is a valid case. I could run the import again after fixing the import mbox, but it takes many hours to load. Andrew

Hello, I've been working on setting up Mailman3 on a RHEL 7.5 vm using the guides and documentation found here: http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/index.html https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/README.html http://docs.mailman3.org/projects/postorius/en/latest/index.html http://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailmanclient/en/latest/README.html https://hyperkitty.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-hyperkitty nginx is serving the Django applications via uwsgi. I was able to get mailman, postorius + hyperkitty, running and test sending out email verifications. In an attempt to set the default domain to something other than example.com I deleted the site: example.com, I did have another site. Unfortunately, this seems to have broken the Django applications. At the moment I am preparing to delete the virtual environment and set things up again. Unless there is something that can be done in the current virtual environment to "reset" things back to start. I was also running into an issue where the verification emails were successfully sent out. The url to verify the email looks like this: http://my.domain.com:8000/accounts/confirm-email/xxxxxxxxxxxx/ Replacing my.domain.com with the domain I added. How can I get the outgoing verification emails to not reference port 8000? If I take that same link and remove the port, I get the desired page. Port 8000 is blocked at our sites permitter firewall, I don't necessarily want to open it. I'd rather the URL just obfuscate the port and send it to https... Thank you in advance for your attention and assistance. Best regards, Enrique J. Terrazas

Rich Text support in Hyperkitty
by Abhilash Raj 08 Jul '19

08 Jul '19

Hi All, I have been recently working on adding rich text support through markdown in Hyperkitty so that emails can be made easier to read. The core design idea in my mind when working on this was building something that doesn't bother writers of plain text emails too much, but allows people to write emails in markdown. The supported syntax is limited Markdown, for example: Hyperkitty's Markdown Syntax ============================ - List items are supported - Even nested ones - Headers with `#` aren't supported, mostly due to their widespread use as comments in code shared on mailing lists. - You can **emphasize** text and _itcalize_ them too - Block code and `inline code` works. - URLs work like they usually do. - Images _do work_, but are disabled by default because of their potential for tracking users. They need to be enabled by administrators through a configuration flag. ``` def sample(): return "yay" ``` While text intentionally written for Markdown rending looks pretty good, plain text sometimes isn't as good. I have applied my branch[1] on both the Mailman installations for these two lists (mail.python.org & lists.mailman3.org). Any feedback or bug reports on weird looking stuff is welcome here or directly [on my PR][1] [1]: https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty/merge_requests/160 -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

What is this all about? What does Mailman consider to be administrivia, of all things, and why is this a reason to hold a message? The only thing in the message I can see is that it mentioned '100 members'. Is Mailman becoming sentient and developing an attitude? Seriously, I'd like to know more about this. Andrew

Images and rich content in hyperkitty

I see discussion about this topic here in July. My immediate interest is that I had hoped to move from an antique plain-text only list to modern list software that will support content such as inline images (partly to staunch the flow of subscribers to facebook, simply to be able to post pictures.)

Post confirmation
by andrew.bernard＠gmail.com 07 Jul '19

07 Jul '19

Some mailing lists have an intermediary step where when the user posts, an email is received frm the server asking them to confirm posting, or discard it. Some of my users feel this gives them the chance to not post something they may have composed in error, or regret, or changed their mind about something. Is it possible to configure this behaviour (I think from Listserv) in Mailman? Andrew

Hyperkitty message threading
by andrew.bernard＠gmail.com 07 Jul '19

07 Jul '19

I am seeing some anomalies with message threading. without going into detail about the symptoms, first le me ask how does Hyperkitty thread messages? Is it based on the message-id in the header, guaranteed unique, or on the subject header? I appear to have a situation where people reply to a message, and then probably thinking to start a new thread, change the subject field., and them post. The message goes to the original thread. I cant stop people doing this as it seems the vast majority of people all over just hit reply for most things anyway as they are generally too lazy to start a new mail (drives me nuts). With this situation, where the subject has apparently been changed, Hyperkitty adds a not to the top of the post "New subject ...' which is what makes me think the message id is involved. Some of my subscribers say they do this all the time on the old Listserv mailing list and a new thread is started. Any help would be appreciated. It's difficult fro me to manually ressign the incorrectly threaded replies as there is no parent message to attach them to. Andrew

Confirmation for subscriptions

Suddenly stopped working. For all the lists I have created, suddenly the confirm setting is ignored for subscriptions and users are subscribed right away. This only happened after I added another domain - surely that can't be the cause? Where to look to troubleshoot this? Andrew

Unable to download attachments from HyperKitty
by Derek Lambert 24 Jun '19

24 Jun '19

I’m having an issue downloading attachments from HyperKitty. The download begins as expected, but never progresses. Eventually it times out. I imagine the browser is expecting data matching the content-length header, but never receives it. Inspecting the contents of the download file reveals (address varies): <memory at 0x7f148fcb9588> I’ve been able to work around the issue with the following patch: --- env/lib/python3.7/site-packages/hyperkitty/models/email.py.orig 2018-12-06 21:38:39.544448735 +0000 +++ env/lib/python3.7/site-packages/hyperkitty/models/email.py 2018-12-06 23:01:39.923239421 +0000 @@ -309,7 +309,7 @@ def get_content(self): folder = self._get_folder() if folder is None: - return self.content + return self.content.tobytes() filepath = os.path.join(folder, str(self.counter)) if not os.path.exists(filepath): logger.error("Could not find local attachment %s for email %s", I haven't been able to replicate the issue with the HyperKitty tests, presumably the issue is somewhere in the Django <-> uwsgi <-> nginx stack.

How to download attachments from hyperkitty
by andrew.bernard＠gmail.com 22 Jun '19

22 Jun '19

Not working - download just waits forever after a few bytes in the browser. Could it be that you have to set hyperkitty to store attachments in the filesystem, and configure uwsgi to serve them as static files? Is that what the hyperkitty setting HYPERKITYY_ATTACHMENT_FOLDER is for? If this is so, can anybody show the fragment of uwsgi configuration required? Andrew

change preferred language of list
by mailman3＠malevil.cc 22 Jun '19

22 Jun '19

hey, I am not very experienced with the mailman shell and configuration. I configured mailman using the mailman.cnf and I know that I can use "mailman conf" to get all the parameters. But now I would like to change the preferred language of a list. Because despite I set [mailman] default_language: de even new lists will still have "en" as preferred language. I checked this just by reading the $language variable in a list template. How can I change the list parameters and how can I make mailman to use the german language files? I found the files, so I know they exist, but still need to make mailman use them...

Please help - Held message is crashing mailman.
by Alex King 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

Hi, I've used mailman a lot in the past, and decided to install mailman3 in a recent install. I'm unimpressed so far, it seems buggy. Running on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS from packages, mailman3 3.1.1-9, mailman3-web 0+20170523-14, python-django-postorius 1.1.2-3. After a few messages, I now can't go to the "Held Messages" in postorius, I get a 500 error. I tried to interact on the command line, but could not work out how. Reading https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/install.html and https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/commands/docs/shell.ht…, I tried: # mailman shell Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell >>> command = cli('mailman.commands.cli_withlist.shell') Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/code.py", line 91, in runcode exec(code, self.locals) File "<console>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'cli' is not defined I did a lot of reading of the manual and googled, but I have no idea where the cli object is supposed to come from.....?

(My colleague posted a bug about this I believe but I don't have the link to that.) Thanks, Alex

mass invitation

in postorius there is just the option to make a mass subscription, in mailman2 there was also the possibility to just invite users, so they need to click a link when they really want to join the list. Is this also available in mailman3/postorius?

Hyperkitty Archives - Sidebar years/months
by Enrique Terrazas 20 Jun '19

20 Jun '19

Hello, I’m going through importing archives from mm2 to mm3. One of the lists I’ve imported has messages going back to 11/2013. I was able to successfully import the lists settings using: mailman import21 lists(a)domain.com<mailto:lists@domain.com> /path/to/list/config.pck This successfully imported lists owners, moderators, subscribers, & settings. I then imported the messages with the following command: python /path/to/manage.py hyperkitty_import -l list(a)domain.com<mailto:list@domain.com> /path/to/list.mbox —since 10/01/2013 I used that date because it is older than the first message sent to the list: 11/13/2013 And followed that up with the update index command: python /path/to/manage.py update_index_one_list list(a)domain.com<mailto:list@domain.com> This successfully imported all the messages from 11/13/2013 through 09/30/2018. Here is where I’m facing two issues: * Messages from October 2018 were not imported * The sidebar only shows the year 2018. Fdasfds If I modify the URL to go to https://my.domain.org/hyperkitty/list/list@domain.com/2013/11 the archived emails show up fine. October 2018 shows two test messages I’ve sent but not any of the messages from October 2018 that should have been imported. Is there something additional that needs to be done to show the previous years and months in the sidebar? Thanks, Enrique

Flushing/syncing hyperkitty with mailman
by Eric Abrahamsen 20 Jun '19

20 Jun '19

I've got mailman running on Ubuntu 14.04, with systemd service files to govern the mailman and hyperkitty qcluster processes. I notice in the systemctl status call for the qcluster command that there are a bunch of errors like: [Q] ERROR Failed [rebuild_thread_cache_votes] - Thread matching query does not exist. [Q] INFO Process-1:1 processing [rebuild_email_cache_votes] [Q] ERROR Failed [rebuild_email_cache_votes] - Email matching query does not exist.

[Q] INFO Process-1:4 processing [rebuild_thread_cache_votes] [Q] ERROR Failed [rebuild_thread_cache_votes] - Thread matching query does not exist. Is there something more I should be doing to sync hyperkitty's database with mailman? I've got the crontab file in place, and that appears to be running without error. Anything else? Thanks, Eric

Invalid FilterAction: discard. Treating as discard
by Henrik Rasmussen 12 Jun '19

12 Jun '19

Having set the Filter content to Yes - regardless of other setting in the "Alter Messages" tab, make a HTML message come out empty. I can replicate this on my test list. I have tried debugging by changing each setting one-by-one and sending the user's mail, but no change makes the mail come out with a content. However setting "Filter content" to "no" makes the mail come out okay. With "Filter content" set to "Yes", sending another HTML mail is okay, so something in the user's mail may not be right, but I wonder why setting "Filter content" to no "solves" the problem. Afte all this setting is switching all other settings on and off, so I can't just ask the user to turn it off.

Postorius performance with over 1000 pending users
by Nick W 11 Jun '19

11 Jun '19

I've got a couple things I need help with: The Symptom and The Problem. The Symptom: Postorius has gotten quite slow to load, taking more than 30s to load the Subscription Requests tab. Having zero pending subscription requests (I'm on v1.2.5), I started investigating unconfirmed subscriptions. I followed the commands from here[1] and got this: mailman shell -l your.list.id util = getUtility(IPendings) print(len(list(util.find(mlist=m,pend_type='subscription')))) 1816 Wow, 1816 pending subscription requests. I can say for certain that my list is not popular so these requests must have been submitted by bots. Let's get there in The Problem. How can I "purge" this list? I'm willing to assume that none of these requests are valid and would reject all unconfirmed user requests. The Problem: How might this activity be happening? Running cat /opt/mailman/core/var/logs/mailman.log | grep POST returns a lot of 202 and 409 responses for `POST /3.1/members`. Could it be that these requests are being submitted through Postorius? I'd assume there would be some sort of honeypot input to prevent abuse. I'll continue investigating and follow up with any insight I can on the cause of The Problem. Thanks, Nick [1]: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message…>

WSGI: gunicorn and uwsgi
by andrew.bernard＠gmail.com 09 Jun '19

09 Jun '19

Using the Ubuntu 19 packages for all the mailman suite, uwsgi is the Python WSGI server included. I have now switched over to a full build from current source from gitlab, following Mark Sapiro's excellent instructions. It would appear that the current code has the use of gunicorn built in. Is gunicorn the preferred way now to run the mailman Django apps? Is it worth spending time converting everything to use uwsgi, or should I go with the flow and use gunicorn? What are the advantages of gunicorn over uwsgi?

Help with installing Postorius and Hyperkitty on Ubuntu 19
by andrew.bernard＠gmail.com 09 Jun '19

09 Jun '19

I'm new to Mailman. I have a Ubuntu 19 production server. I attempted to get Mailman 3 and the web components going with the system packages, but I encountered a few showstopper errors (such as indexing not working at all) which I know have been fixed in the codebase. To that end I erased my installation, and installed mailman from the gitlab source. That all works much more nicely now and I feel I have a lot more control of the layout of all the files (the various Ubuntu packages smear the parts all over the place, confusingly). Now I want to get Postorius and Hyperkitty going again, independently of Ubuntu packages. I would like to run Postorius and Hyperkitty under one Django project. So I downloaded the git source for mailman_web. I do not know if this is the right way to install. I am partially familiar with Django, but to come to the point, I have no idea once having obtained the source from git how to setup and install the project, where it lives in the filesystem, and so on. Are there any pointers to help in this area? The very nice readthedocs format files for Postorius and Hyperkitty are very silent on basic matters like this, which is not of much help! The git README files also define a new level of brevity. I need some initial hand holding here. If any help is forthcoming, such as links to more full documentation for newbies to Mailman, I would be most grateful.

Import Archives using Docker Image
by brian＠emwd.com 07 Jun '19

07 Jun '19

I want to test out importing a 2.1 archive into a Mailman 3.2 list. I am using maxking's docker images for MM3. How would I go about importing the mbox file? I don't think the following commands would work on a Docker installation of MM3: $ python manage.py hyperkitty_import -l foo-list(a)example.com $var_prefix/archives/private/foo-list.mbox/foo-list.mbox $ python manage.py update_index_one_list foo-list(a)example.com I am not sure how to go about doing this within Docker. Thanks for any assistance, Brian

Changing default message limit (max_message_size)
by roger＠reasonal.com 30 May '19

30 May '19

Right, me again. I'm so close to having what I need up and running ... but a showstopper is the max message size that triggers a moderate in it. 40kB these days is just way small ... unless you're a 1% using text-only email. So found this on list archive: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… $ bin/mailman shell -l list(a)example.com // Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell // The variable 'm' is the list(a)example.com // mailing list m.max_message_size = nn // commit() Unfortunately this does not work in the containerised mailman. So I get the container ID and run: docker exec 3373d426996d /usr/local/bin/mailman shell -i test-list(a)iotcouncil.org.za (in the post by Mark it says "-l" but I get "unrecognized argument" -- I assume it should be -i for "interactive"? Either way, it fires up the mailman shell and then throws me straight out back to the command line: Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell The variable 'm' is the test-list(a)iotcouncil.org.za mailing list >>> [root@listman ~]# So that doesn't help...

Bug - if you change primary email address, you're "semi-subscribed"
by roger＠reasonal.com 30 May '19

30 May '19

Subscribed to the list, sending mails worked. Changed primary email (my company email system adds branding crap that exceeded the 40k limit). Then mails to list simply vanished. Sent mail via UI, suddenly get a "welcome to list" and held message says "The message comes from a moderated member".

How to separate bans for sending emails to lists and subscribing to them
by Nathan Dixon 29 May '19

29 May '19

Hi, Our requirements for using Mailman are that we can have non-members send an email to a list from any domain name, but only people who's email addresses match a list of specific domains should be able to actually subscribe to those lists. I can't seem to find any way of doing this. Any ideas? I have tried using the bans (global and on each list) but these appear to stop all subscriptions and emails being sent to or from a list if the address matches a ban. Having moderated list subscriptions seems to be the only workaround, but this wouldn't be great if we could automate it (we are currently using Listserv which does allow us to do this) Thank you, -- *Nathan Dixon* MEng Senior Software Architect

update_index_one_list in parallel?
by Szymon Sokół 29 May '19

29 May '19

Hello, I am new to this list. Last week I upgraded my old Mailman 2.1 site (running since 2011) to Mailman 3.2.1; wasn't quite straightforward, and part of the blame goes to people who made the choice of using sqlite as default database backend for mailman3-full Debian package, but finally I have it running with PostgreSQL, which I should've been using from the beginning. Now, however, I have noticed that indexing my archives in hyperkitty (using "manage.py update_index_one_list" for each list in sequence) takes quite a lot of time while using only one CPU (out of 4). Hence my question - is it safe to run several such processes in parallel, and if so, will it have any benefits? I have no idea how locking on the database is done in this code, maybe I'll end up running the jobs in sequence anyway due to exclusive locks… Any informed answers will be appreciated.

What to backup?

Hyperkitty CPU usage
by Alain Kohli 24 May '19

24 May '19

Hi I have hyperkitty running and noticed that the process 'python manage.py runjobs minutely' is running for over 70h now and is constantly using 100% of a CPU core. That can hardly be intended, but I don't know why it's doing that. As far as I could see, this job mainly updates the search index. Running 'python manage.py rebuild_index' only takes about an hour, though, so I don't see why this would take so much longer. The text search is not working in the first place, so that might be connected as well. I'm currently running the v1.2.2. Regards, Alain

Changing Mailman's "from" domain - redux
by roger＠reasonal.com 23 May '19

23 May '19

(this is a posting directly into this web ui as mails to this list just vanish without a trace) -- Anyone? Anyone? With reference to the original mail here https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… It seems that the "From" domain field is set by Postorius, but I can't find anything in its documentation on how to change it. I've done obvious things like change the boxes hostname to what I want, have fiddled around in the various Postfix settings for mydomain, etc etc. But all admin messages, listserver replies etc come from the partial domain "blah.blah", not "listman.blah.blah". Any ideas welcome.

Changing Mailman's "from" domain
by Roger Hislop (IS) 23 May '19

23 May '19

Hi guys -- I'm a little baffled here... I'd got my Mailman instance running, then went on leave, and then tried to use it. No dice. If I subscribed an address, no confirmation email would come through. Checked the Postfix log and see this: Roger Hislop (IS) Executive Head - IOT T +27 11 5751600 M+27 78 4595952 May 16 14:34:50 ip-172-31-23-250 postfix/smtp[5025]: 15B87A35FB: to=<iotic-za(a)reasondigital.co.za>, relay=email-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com[52.51.155.83]:587, delay=0.22, delays=0.01/0.02/0.1/0.1, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host email-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com[52.51.155.83] said: 554 Message rejected: Email address is not verified. The following identities failed the check in region EU-WEST-1: test-list-request(a)iotcouncil.org.za, test-list-bounces(a)iotcouncil.org.za (in reply to end of DATA command)) I've verified the domain listman.iotcouncil.org.za, so it would seem the obvious solution is to change the domain the mails come from. It appeared that I just change the postfix config to specify domain list so: # INTERNET HOST AND DOMAIN NAMES # # The myhostname parameter specifies the internet hostname of this # mail system. The default is to use the fully-qualified domain name # from gethostname(). $myhostname is used as a default value for many # other configuration parameters. # myhostname = listman.iotcouncil.org.za <<< HERE #myhostname = virtual.domain.tld # The mydomain parameter specifies the local internet domain name. # The default is to use $myhostname minus the first component. # $mydomain is used as a default value for many other configuration # parameters. # mydomain = listman.iotcouncil.org.za <<< and HERE # SENDING MAIL # # The myorigin parameter specifies the domain that locally-posted # mail appears to come from. The default is to append $myhostname, # which is fine for small sites. If you run a domain with multiple # machines, you should (1) change this to $mydomain and (2) set up # a domain-wide alias database that aliases each user to # user(a)that.users.mailhost. # # For the sake of consistency between sender and recipient addresses, # myorigin also specifies the default domain name that is appended # to recipient addresses that have no @domain part. # myorigin = listman.iotcouncil.org.za <<< and HERE #myorigin = $mydomain But when I look in the log: May 16 15:13:05 ip-172-31-23-250 postfix/qmgr[5700]: D58F9A35FB: from=<test-list-bounces(a)iotcouncil.org.za>, size=1224, nrcpt=1 (queue active) May 16 15:13:05 ip-172-31-23-250 postfix/smtpd[5710]: disconnect from ip-172-19-199-2.eu-west-1.compute.internal[172.19.199.2] May 16 15:13:06 ip-172-31-23-250 postfix/smtp[5713]: D58F9A35FB: to=<iotic-za(a)reasondigital.co.za>, relay=email-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com[52.51.155.83]:587, delay=0.25, delays=0.01/0.03/0.1/0.12, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host email-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com[52.51.155.83] said: 554 Message rejected: Email address is not verified. The following identities failed the check in region EU-WEST-1: test-list-request(a)iotcouncil.org.za, test-list-bounces(a)iotcouncil.org.za (in reply to end of DATA command)) But the "from" is not changing. I see that messages TO the mailman server are also not being delivered ("-- 5.1.1 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable"). So there's another problem. Should I just verify iotcouncil.org.za and add DKIM to its MX record? Seems like a fail...

Upgrade
by David Krantz 23 May '19

23 May '19

Hi all, I am running a relatively old version of mailman 3, namely 3.2.0a1 from late september 2017. This is installed using the old mailman-bundler method. I use postfix and postgres. I really have two questions: First: What is the normal way to upgrade such a setup? I guess that I just can get the updated versions of all packages through git, set up new venv's to simplify a rollback, back up the database and then just restarting with the new version hoping for the best. Second: Another way would be to set up a new virtual server and reinstall everything and then just switching IPs on the servers. Then: what is the preferred way to install mailman3 today, docker only? I will also have to move all config and data to the new server, this should be mainly about restoring a database backup and copying relevant config, is there anything I miss here? cheers // David

How to remove global ban using API?
by Nathan Dixon 22 May '19

22 May '19

I am using a global ban to stop anyone not in a list of valid domains from being able to subscribe to any of our lists. This ban needs to be maintained using the Mailman3 api as it is being fed from another source. I can create the ban fine by the following: from mailmanclient import Client client = Client(URI,apiuser,apipass) client.bans.add("^(?!.*[(a)\.](validdomain1\.com|validdomain2\.org|validdomain3\.co\.uk)") However, I cannot seem to be able to remove it using the api: >>> client.bans[0].delete() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/home/wanout/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/base.py", line 137, in delete self._connection.call(self._url, method='DELETE') File "/home/wanout/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/connection.py", line 99, in call raise HTTPError(url, response.status, content, response, None) urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: b'' Or >>> client.bans.remove(str(client.bans[0])) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/home/wanout/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailmanclient/restobjects/ban.py", line 83, in remove ban.delete() File "/home/wanout/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/base.py", line 137, in delete self._connection.call(self._url, method='DELETE') File "/home/wanout/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/connection.py", line 99, in call raise HTTPError(url, response.status, content, response, None) urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: b'' Or >>> client.bans.remove("^(?!.*[(a)\.](validdomain1\.com|validdomain2\.org|validdomain3\.co\.uk))") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/home/wanout/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailmanclient/restobjects/ban.py", line 83, in remove ban.delete() File "/home/wanout/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/base.py", line 137, in delete self._connection.call(self._url, method='DELETE') File "/home/wanout/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/connection.py", line 99, in call raise HTTPError(url, response.status, content, response, None) urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: b'' And also, when I now try and go into the mailman-core docker image to use the mailman.interfaces.bans, it will not let me see the global bans: >>> from mailman.interfaces.bans import IBanManager >>> global_bans = IBanManager(None) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: ('Could not adapt', None, <InterfaceClass mailman.interfaces.bans.IBanManager>) I have opened an issue in Gitlab for this as I feel it may be a bug related to regex and global bans (there was a similar one for list banned addresses): https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/598 Many thanks for your time, -- *Nathan Dixon* MEng Senior Software Architect m: +44 (0)7402 690311 t: +44 (0)20 81231252 e: nathan.dixon(a)evadon.com w: www.evadon.com This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and may be protected by legal, professional or other privilege.

installation choices for mm3
by John Griessen 17 May '19

17 May '19

I've been reading https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Mailman%203%20installation%20experience and see that a virtual is recommended, which is not something I have done yet, and wonder if just putting the mm3 on a different server is easier? I have a server, mail1.cibolo.us that has postfix, postgresql, dovecot, mm2, nsd on it. Another server has just web pages and nsd doing backup DNS for mail1.cibolo.us DNS server. I could do a straight debian install of mailman3-full on the 2nd server and keep it simple, let debian setup a blank database installation, right? Has anyone seen a good write up on how to do that on a debian server step by step?

Any known limit of number of lists that one can be owner/member of?
by Alan So 15 May '19

15 May '19

We have just migrated hundreds of lists from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3. It was smooth in most of the cases. However, we just notice that there are some abnormal behaviour of Postorius for particular users who are owner/member of a large number of lists. We further look into a particular user who is owner of 84 lists. When the user login Postorius, only 50 lists are displayed no matter what the number of "Results per page" is chosen. Prev/Next page cannot be clicked as there is only 1 page. When I use the following mailman client snippet, it also displays the same 50 lists: lists = client.find_lists('xxx(a)yyy.com', 'owner') for m_list in lists: print(m_list.fqdn_listname) Did we hit any limit of find_lists? Is it a bug or are something wrong during the migration? When the user use "Mailman settings", the page can still display all lists though (it's slow as it probably did a lot of SQL queries!).

Re: Archive Policy not reflecting in Hyperkitty
by Abhilash Raj 14 May '19

14 May '19

Are you using images with "rolling" tags? If yes, you should try to switch to "0.2" tag and the new release will be tagged with the same one. To update, you can do: $ docker pull ... $ docker pull .. $ docker-compose stop $ docker-compose rm $ docker-compose up -d This should basically get you up and running with the new image you pulled. -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

Archive Policy not reflecting in Hyperkitty

So the issue I am seeing is that when I set a lists archive policy to prviate, it isn't reflecting that in Hyperkitty. I am running the docker installation of Mailman, postorius and hyperkitty. So I go into the docker instance of mailman-core and run this: python3 manage.py shell from hyperkitty.models.mailinglist import MailingList MailingList.objects.all().values_list('name', 'archive_policy') And all my lists are showing '2', regardless of how I set the mailing list archive policy. This might be a duplicate of https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… Am I missing something in my install? Or is this a bug?

Moderate mails from owner
by Henrik Rasmussen 07 May '19

07 May '19

I assume this is by design, but is it correct that a list owner, who are not member, will always be allowed to post to the list, even though "Default action to take when a member posts to the list" and "Default action to take when a non-member posts to thelist" are both set to "Hold for moderation"? The owner is set as also moderator, by the way, which seems redundant. I have a list administrator who would like to be moderated when sending to the list, but there is no Member Options on Owners (nor Moderators). A workaround may be to create a new account for the owner and let the current owner be member instead of owner, as she will then be moderated. /Henrik Rasmussen

Creating and placing custom templates
by kelly.close＠lrewater.com 02 May '19

02 May '19

I know there are previous threads related to this topic but none were very recent so I thought I'd start a new one. I've referenced two of the old ones below. I am attempting to implement a custom footer on one of my lists. This seems like it should be straightforward but I'm clearly doing something wrong, since the default footer keeps coming through despite my efforts. I've referenced the docs as well as these two posts, to no avail. https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message… Here's what I'm doing: I found my templates folder and verified it matched what is set in the mailman.cfg file - on my Ubuntu Bionic system it is /var/lib/mailman3/templates/ In that folder I created the following folders and made sure they were properly owned (by list:list) /var/lib/mailman3/templates/lists/f2p2-test.udfcd-lists.org/en/ Into that en/ folder I placed a file called "list:member:regular:footer" It is a text file with just one line of text in it (a link to a website). Also, because there was a mention in one of the earlier posts that this file should have a .txt extension, I also put the same file in there named "list:member:regular:footer.txt". I have two of my own emails subscribed t my "f2p2-test" list at the domain udfcd-lists.org. When I post to the list, and check my other email for the disseminated post, it still has the default footer. I have restarted the mailman3 service. Can anyone spot an obvious error here or offer troubleshooting suggestions? Thank You! ~Kelly

So, we're in Season of Docs! Currently, Abhilash and I are registered as mentor/admins. I don't think we need more admins, but more mentors is always a good thing. Hey, users! You don't need to be a programmer to mentor docs, of course, and it may be a *good* thing to *not* be a programmer and even *not* a Mailman developer. :-) Suggestions as to doc projects we *really oughtta do!* are very welcome. (I can't believe we got in with the thin doc proposal I put together literally at the last minute, but here we are. ;-) Feel free to get in touch with us on mailman-developers (reply-to set; please respect) if you're interested in mentoring. Or if you prefer you can contact me or Abhilash directly. We can presumably add mentors up to July 23 (deadline for technical writer selection by orgs).

GDPR - save subscriptions confirmation emails
by contact＠maadix.net 01 May '19

01 May '19

Hi, I am new in the list. I have been looking for this topic in the archives in order to avoid duplicate, but I could not find any thread. According to the new GDPR rules, lists owners need to have a confirmation from subscribers, and this is easy to do with Mailman 3. What I can't figure out is how to save all the confirmation emails received from users. I only see the confirmations commands emails in the logs, Is there another place/way to store them? For GDPR compliance it is important to be able to demonstrate that you received the confirmation, in case you may need it in the future.

HTML email sent to lists migrated from Mailman 2.1
by Nate Coraor 16 Apr '19

16 Apr '19

Hello all, I have some lists migrated from 2.1 that are stripping the HTML parts (perhaps all attachments?) from messages despite the options to do so not being enabled and lynx not even being installed. I'm trying to get a new list to behave the same way so I can figure out what's going on without spamming a production list, but have been unsuccessful: despite setting nearly all the list options the same as the old lists, new lists pass HTML portions and attachments just fine. I've verified the settings using mailing list objects directly with `mailman withlist` on the command line and the only differences are things that I can't imagine would be related like admin_notify_mchanges, advertised, and archive_policy. Are there are really old options that can't be accessed via mailing list objects obtained with `withlist` on the command line? Thanks, --nate

Mailman in EC2 / Docker -- working but HTTPS not serving static content
by roger.hislop＠is.co.za 15 Apr '19

15 Apr '19

Hi again ... I got everything working thanks to Danil, Abhilash, and finally found a simple NGINX conf that worked, using WSGI. Cool. Set up certificates using LetsEncrypt, used another conf to set up SSL, like the conf pasted below. I edited nginx.conf so that it only takes server config from the nginx/conf.d/blahblah.conf below. This works for HTTP, HTTPS works but it (apparently) is not serving static content. There are loads of how-tos to get this to work, but I've failed in all -- it seems to be the static path (I've not tried option using thttpd I've not tried as there is no easy install onto AQWS AMI and it seems like it's not specifically necessary. I'm so close... so close... ------------------------------- server { listen 80 default_server; # listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; root /usr/share/nginx/html; index index.html index.htm; server_name listman.iotcouncil.org.za; return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri; #<< AUTO_REDIRECT HTTP TO HTTPS # location / { # proxy_pass http://172.19.199.3:8000/; # proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; # proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host; # proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host; # proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; # proxy_redirect off; # } # # location /static/ { # alias /var/spool/mailman-web/static/; # } # # location /robots.txt { # alias /var/spool/mailman-web/static/hyperkitty/robots.txt; # } # # location /favicon.ico { # alias /var/www/listorg/images/favicon.ico; # } # } server { listen 443 default_server; # listen [::]:443 default_server ipv6only=on; #root /usr/share/nginx/html; #index index.html index.htm; server_name listman.iotcouncil.org.za; ssl on; ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/listman.iotcouncil.org.za/fullchain.pem; ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/listman.iotcouncil.org.za/privkey.pem; ssl_session_timeout 5m; ssl_protocols SSLv3 TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2; ssl_ciphers "HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5 or HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5:!3DES"; ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on; location / { proxy_pass http://172.19.199.3:8000/; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; proxy_redirect off; } location /static/ { alias /opt/mailman/web/static; } location /robots.txt { alias /var/spool/mailman-web/static/hyperkitty/robots.txt; } location /favicon.ico { alias /var/www/listorg/images/favicon.ico; } }

Mailman Core 3.2.2 is now out
by Abhilash Raj 14 Apr '19

14 Apr '19

Hello Everyone, Mailman Core 3.2.2 is released and available on PyPI[1]. This is a regular bugfix release and I had to do that to fix a version constraint which pulled in a pre-release of a dependency (falcon) when installed via pip and caused the default install to break. There are few other changes included in this release, including a big refactor of error reporting in Core's REST API. All the error responses are now correctly formatted as JSON with more information about the error. For example, invalid inputs for Enum data types return the valid options. Other error message are now generated from the input validtor and will be more informative. REST API also accepts input as JSON formatted body, alongside the x-www-form-urlencoded. A full list of changes are available here: https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/NEWS.html#id1 This release supports Python 3.5-3.7. Thanks very much to all the contributors involved in this release. [1]: https://pypi.org/project/mailman/ -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

List options question
by Phil Stracchino 13 Apr '19

13 Apr '19

So, I've just sucscribed to this list, and when I go to set subscription options, I find: Receive list copies (possible duplicates) Yes No When you are listed explicitly in the To: or Cc: headers of a list message, you can opt to not receive another copy from the mailing list. Select No to receive copies. Select Yes to avoid receiving copies from the mailing list. This seems rather ... backwards. "Receive copies? Answer no for yes, yes for no." Is that how the option actually works in mailman3, or is the text of the option decription garbled? -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications phils(a)caerllewys.net phil(a)co.ordinate.org Landline: +1.603.293.8485 Mobile: +1.603.998.6958

Mailman3 in dockers on EC2 - running out of memory and puking ev.ry.where.
by roger.hislop＠is.co.za 11 Apr '19

11 Apr '19

Hi all -- really need some help. I'm tech literate, but definitely not a sysadmin or dev. I'm following the tutorial at "Olay's Farmland" at https://www.olay.xyz/2018/01/01/deploy-mailman-3-on-aws-using-docker/ which seems to be a clone of the same content here https://xiaoxing.us/2018/01/01/deploy-mailman-3-on-aws-using-docker/ Easy enough to get most of the way ... set up EC2 instance, configure SES and add DNS settings with DKIM etc. Set up Postfix, test it. All working groovy. I run through the how to all the way through setting up the containers and firing it up. This is where things start to get funky. Once the docker-compose is run, I run "curl http://172.19.199.3:8000/postorius/lists/" to test. First time it said it couldn't connect to database. So I nuked and restarted from scratch. Second time it said the same thing... was reading around the place and tried again, and then reran that curl and it worked -- gave me html from a page. But the VM started running slowly --taking forever to follow keypresses. Eventually became unresponsive. So I rebooted the machine via AWS console, and docker ps showed only the postgres db running. docker-compose ps shows Name Command State Ports ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ docker-mailman_database_1 docker-entrypoint.sh postgres Up 5432/tcp mailman-core docker-entrypoint.sh maste ... Exit 255 8001/tcp, 8024/tcp mailman-web docker-entrypoint.sh uwsgi ... Exit 255 8000/tcp, 8080/tcp So rebuilt the container -- same thing. It looks and feels like its running out of memory. I used the compose file from https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Yexiaoxing/833bfcc5d3e4e0c06a8b7f0bac7c4… (with appropriate edits). I have no idea how to proceed from here... Go to logs...

Simplified installation instructions
by Frank Yappa 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

I've looked at installing Mailman3 many times but have never succeeded - there simply too many instructions. Is there a simple guide to get just web front end to Mailman3 where you can import an existing mailing list simply for viewing? Which is the easiest system to install Mailman3 on? I have a Debian system and would be grateful for any pointers showing how to install it . I came across:- https://iomarmochtar.wordpress.com/2017/07/21/mailman3-easy-installation/ but this is for Centos and I don't know what to change. Elsewhere I came across a list of apps which needed to be installed on Debian but that didn't work because of missing packages. apt-get install python3-setuptools python3-virtualenv python3-dev git gcc node-less nodejs postfix python3-tox

easy way to delete old mails in hyperkitty?
by l.schimmer＠cgv.tugraz.at 08 Apr '19

Hi! is thjere a easy way to delete old mails in hyperkitty? e.g. with a list and checkmarks, or via a cli command? We got several mailinglists and we did import them from mailman2.x into mailman 3.2. Now it is time to remove old posts before 2016. But I do not see a easy way to remove old posts in one go, just the "remove thread" button in each mail view. thank you, Lars
