MM3 occasionally chokes (?)
by Dmitry Makovey March 18, 2019

March 18, 2019

In the last couple of month we've observed some odd behavior from MM3 (namely the core) where it seems like email that is about to be sent to a large-ish mailing list (10K users) has been processed yet never gets sent out until we restart the core. I would appreciate any pointers on where to look for the source of the problem. At the moment, since I can't reliably reproduce it I can't really test it nor do I know where to look next time things get stuck. Mailing list in question is high profile thus when event like this happens I have only limited time amount to spend on troubleshooting/digging before I just restart the core (which by the way takes about 45min to fully start... which is another puzzle to solve at later time) -- Sr System and DevOps Engineer SoM IRT

REST API Question: possible to change user preferred email?
by Nathan Dixon March 18, 2019

March 18, 2019

Hi, We are in need of being able to change a user's email address via the REST API. After looking through the documentation and code, I can't see a way to do this in a simple way. Although the documentation seems to show that if a user changes their preferred address, it will track throughout all their subscriptions. See: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/blob/master/src/mailman/rest/docs/member… "When Gwen changes her preferred address, her subscription automatically tracks the new address." The only way I can see to do this via the REST API would be to do the following long winded way: *1. Create a new address:* POST to http://<api_url>/3.1/users/<$OldEmail>/addresses $postData: {email = "$NewEmail"} *2. Verify the new address:* POST to http://<api_url>/3.1/addresses/<$NewEmail>/verify $postData: { } *3. Get all the memberships for the old email address* $memberships = GET to http://<api_url>/3.1/addresses/<$OldEmail>/memberships *4. Change users email for each membership individually* foreach ($membership in $memberships) { PATCH to http://<api_url>/3.1/members/<$membership.member_id> $pathData: { address = $NewEmail } } *5. Delete Old Address* DELETE to http://<api_url>/3.1/addresses/<$OldEmail> Am I missing something (as in there is a way to do a single PATCH request somewhere)? Or is this the only way to update someone's email address with these 5 steps? Thanks, Nathan Dixon

[Mailman-Users] mailman 3 and freeipa

Crossposting and redirecting replies to mailman-users(a)mailman3.org. Steven Jones writes: > I cant find anything on this so far but can Mailman3's webui use > freeipa as the authentication mechanism? Hi Steve, I don't have a complete answer offhand (and right now I'm just reducing my inbox so a single google search is as much as I can do), but searching for "freeipa django" indicates that there are "connectors" for Django and FreeIPA. The nicest option would be a plugin for Django's socialauth application. If that doesn't seem to exist, perhaps you can just add a FreeIPA application to the Django configuration. You would need to add it to both Postorius and HyperKitty configurations.

How to count the number of members in a list using Mailman client?
by Alan So March 18, 2019

March 18, 2019

I tried to do so using Mailman client but it is really slow for lists with size > 1000. I use the following code snippet: my_list = client.get_list(listname) print ("number of members =", len(my_list.members)) Are there any other ways to do so in a much faster speed? Thanks.

by Jens Bretschneider March 15, 2019

March 15, 2019

Hi, we want to replace our Mailman 2.1.15 installation and have installed Mailman 3 with Docker (maxking/docker-mailman). Everything seems to be fine so far, but the import of the old mailing lists fails. There are two different exceptions: MySQLdb._exceptions.OperationalError: (1366, "Incorrect string value: '\\xE2\\\x80\x8D0\xE2\\x80...' for column `mailmandb`.`hyperkitty_email`.`content` at row 1") as well as MySQLdb._exceptions.OperationalError: (1048, "Column 'description' cannot be null") The complete log can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/htd4eia1cg1kyi7/mailman3_import_log.txt?dl=0 Any idea what's going wrong here? Kind regards, Jens

hyperkitty error importing (from mm2 mbox) HTML emails / binary attachments
by M4tze March 13, 2019

March 13, 2019

Dear list, I am importing emails from mm2 mbox archives into hyperkitty. This generally works but for HTML mails or mails having binary attachments, I get some errors: + ProgrammingError: (1064, u'You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near \'_binary\'<html>\\n<head>\\n<meta http-equiv=\\"Content-Type\\" content=\\"text/html; c\' at line 1') + I am using the following debian/ubuntu packages: * mailman3 3.1.1-9 * mailman3-full 3.1.1-9 * mailman3-web 0+20170523-14 * python-django-mailman3 1.1.0-4 * python-mailmanclient 3.1.1-5 * python3-mailman-hyperkitty 1.1.0-4 * mysql-server 5.7.25-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 * mysql-server-5.7 5.7.25-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 * mysql-server-core-5.7 5.7.25-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 I changed the charset & collation of the mailman-web (incl. hyperkitty's) tables from latin1 to UTF8_mb4, which was neccessary to fix errors importing UTF8 mail. Does anyone has an idea of how to fix that? Kind regards - m4tze

mailman admin (django) interface does not work anymore after deleting website example.com
by Torge Riedel March 10, 2019

March 10, 2019

Hi, I've just installed successfully mailman3 and started with basic configuration. When adding a new domain it gives me a link to a django admin page where I have to configure the available websites. I deleted the existing "example.com" and added a new one "lists.mydomain.de". Now the admin (django) interface always gives "An error occurred while processing your request". After one of the first navigation clicks I saw a message that "site with id 1 is missing". Can you point me to where the problem is and how to solve it? Maybe it was not a good idea to delete the existing one, but I would have expected that django will prevent this, if it will fail afterwards. Thanks and regards Torge The logs: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/handlers/exception.py", line 34, in inner response = get_response(request) File "/opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 156, in _get_response response = self.process_exception_by_middleware(e, request) File "/opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 154, in _get_response response = response.render() File "/opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/template/response.py", line 106, in render self.content = self.rendered_content File "/opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/template/response.py", line 83, in rendered_content content = template.render(context, self._request) File "/opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/template/backends/django.py", line 61, in render return self.template.render(context) File "/opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/template/base.py", line 169, in render with context.bind_template(self): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/contextlib.py", line 81, in __enter__ return next(self.gen) File "/opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/template/context.py", line 246, in bind_template updates.update(processor(self.request)) File "/opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django_mailman3/context_processors.py", line 32, in common context["site_name"] = get_current_site(request).name File "/opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/contrib/sites/shortcuts.py", line 13, in get_current_site return Site.objects.get_current(request) File "/opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/contrib/sites/models.py", line 60, in get_current return self._get_site_by_id(site_id) File "/opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/contrib/sites/models.py", line 32, in _get_site_by_id site = self.get(pk=site_id) File "/opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/db/models/manager.py", line 82, in manager_method return getattr(self.get_queryset(), name)(*args, **kwargs) File "/opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/db/models/query.py", line 399, in get self.model._meta.object_name django.contrib.sites.models.Site.DoesNotExist: Site matching query does not exist.

Automatic response to non-members
by daniel.eckhoff＠gmail.com March 8, 2019

March 8, 2019

Hi! I have a mailing list, where I accept every incoming message without subscription. I set this up for a recruitment website (jobs(a)xyz.org) It works nice. All mails are sent to archive where me and other admins can go through all applications. Now we want to set up an automatic response to incoming messages. I tried to set "Autorespond postings" but since the applicants are not subscribers, this won't work. I aso set the template for "Notice sent to a poster when their message has been received by the mailing list". Both approaches don't seem to work. Any ideas to get this working without relying on additional software?
