New problem on new installation of Mailman
by Brian Carpenter 09 Jun '20

09 Jun '20

I am just about done with installing Mailman 3 on a new Debian 10 server and when I go to run ./mailman-post-update, I am running into the following error: ./mailman-post-update + '[' False == False ']' + mkdir -p /opt/mailman/mm/static + /opt/mailman/mm/bin/django-admin collectstatic --clear --noinput --verbosity 0 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/bin/django-admin", line 10, in <module> sys.exit(execute_from_command_line()) File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 401, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 377, in execute django.setup() File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/__init__.py", line 24, in setup apps.populate(settings.INSTALLED_APPS) File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/apps/registry.py", line 91, in populate app_config = AppConfig.create(entry) File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/apps/config.py", line 90, in create module = import_module(entry) File "/usr/lib/python3.7/importlib/__init__.py", line 127, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1006, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 983, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 967, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 677, in _load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 728, in exec_module File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 219, in _call_with_frames_removed File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/haystack/__init__.py", line 11, in <module> from haystack.utils import loading File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/haystack/utils/__init__.py", line 9, in <module> from django.utils import six ImportError: cannot import name 'six' from 'django.utils' (/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/utils/__init__.py) I assume it has something to do with Haystack. Suggestions for a fix? Thanks, Brian

Migrating from debian package to Virtualenv
by Ryan Morash 09 Jun '20

09 Jun '20

We currently have our Mailman3 instance installed using the packages in Debian's repository. We want to migrate over to a virtualenv setup as described here: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html. Is there any thing we should be aware of for migrating data?

django-mailman3 1.3.4 bugfix release
by Abhilash Raj 05 Jun '20

05 Jun '20

Hey everyone, There was a critical bug reported yesterday which would cause users to get 404 pages instead of their list options page. Upon investigation, it was found that the bug was related to bumping of Mailman Core's API version to 3.1 in django-mailman3 1.3.3 release. Because this bug can cause problems accessing several pages in web interface, we have a quick bugfix release for you. If you have already upgraded to 1.3.3 and don't wish to do another upgrade/restart, you have an option to run the command below to avoid the bug: $ python manage.py clear_cache -a This should invalidate the cache entries which cause the 404 bug. The new release is available through PyPI at: https://pypi.org/project/django-mailman3/1.3.4/ The changelog is available at: https://gitlab.com/mailman/django-mailman3/-/blob/master/README.rst Finally, as usual, you can update to the new release using pip: $ pip install django-mailman3==1.3.4 -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

duplicate dkim headers w/ AWS SES
by sunil soprey 03 Jun '20

03 Jun '20

Periodically, I've seen these errors from few senders, and wondering if community has a idea? Mailman - 3.3.1rc1 Tom Sawyer "554 Transaction failed: Duplicate header 'DKIM-Signature'" while sending AWS-SES as the MTA? Possible to strip from postfix? I've submitted a AWS ticket.

Emailing a list from the list server
by Mark Dadgar 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

Ok, I admit I am baffled by this one. I cannot email a list from an account on the list server itself (for example, programmatically by script, but also manually) using mail / mailx / mutt / etc from the command line. The emails just disappear into the ether. I can email other arbitrary addresses just fine, including real users hosted on that server. Here’s the postfix main.cf section for mailman3: owner_request_special = no transport_maps = hash:/var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_lmtp local_recipient_maps = proxy:unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps hash:/var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_lmtp relay_domains = ${{$compatibility_level} < {2} ? {$mydestination} : {}} hash:/var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_domains What obvious thing am I missing? - Mark ----- mark(a)pdc-racing.net | 408-348-2878

01 Jun '20

Hi *, we are trying to dispose of automatic replies like "out of office" etc. For these ends, we have set Header to "subject" (w/o quotes) Pattern to ".*out.of.office.*" Action to "Hold for moderation" However, these mails are passed through to the list. How is this to be set to become effective? Thank you and have a good week Peter

Mailman rewrite the Cc header incorrectly
by Alan So 27 May '20

27 May '20

I just notice that if I send an email to a list with a Cc header broken into multiple lines and the pair of double quotes are put in different lines, the email addresses afterwards will be wrongly rewritten. For example, CC: "ABC DEF (XYZ)" <name(a)example.com> It will become the following after going through the mailing list: CC: XYZ <"ABC DEF"@mail.server.name> It seems that Outlook often split the To/Cc header into multiple lines and they often add double quotes to the full name of the users. Is the rewriting of Cc header handled by Mailman's code or another Python class? Thanks. Regards, Alan So

Migrating Mailman 3 lists
by Brian Carpenter 26 May '20

26 May '20

Hello Mailman users, I know how to migrate mailman 2 lists to a new mailman 3 server. However I do not know how to migrate a mailman 3 list from one mailman 3 server to another one. Are there any instructions or protocol on how to accomplish this? The Mailman 3 server I want to migrate *from* was setup using Docker. The Mailman 3 server I want to migrate these lists *to* was setup using a python virtual environment via pip. -- Please let me know if you need further assistance. Thank you for your business.

performance report - mailman 3.3.1rc1 / postorius 1.3.1
by sunil soprey 26 May '20

26 May '20

Hi all - I just wanted to share my perf-load results of Mailman3. Hopefully community finds helpful. I realized mailman3 cannot run on AWS t3a* ( 2cpu or 4cpu @ 8 gigs ) Specs: AWS EC2 - m5a.xl and c5.xl Version: mailman 3.3.1rc1 What: Duration load test of 30k emails across 200 lists. Some lists have a depth of 9k users, other lists have 100 emails address. * create 200 lists of random names Results * Postorius kept hanging on vanilla AWS LTS and LTS2 image. I had to tune the kernel settings ( somax, syslimits, tcp wmem) * gunicorn.cfg must be created and workers/threads property must be added. I noticed hanging python and tcp/socket errors * Total run time = 50mins for fresh-load

Postorius, Hyperkitty new release candidates
by Abhilash Raj 24 May '20

24 May '20

Hi Everyone, I am pleased to announce a couple of more releases: - Postorius: 1.3.3rc1 Changelog: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/postorius/en/latest/news.html#rc1 Download: https://pypi.org/project/postorius/1.3.3rc1/ - Hyperkitty: 1.3.3rc1 Changelog: https://hyperkitty.readthedocs.io/en/latest/news.html#rc1 Download: https://pypi.org/project/HyperKitty/1.3.3rc1/ - Mailmanclient: 3.3.1rc1 Changelog: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailmanclient/en/latest/src/mailmanclien… Download: https://pypi.org/project/mailmanclient/3.3.1rc1/ - Django-mailman3: 1.3.3rc1 Changelog: https://gitlab.com/mailman/django-mailman3/-/blob/master/README.rst Download: https://pypi.org/project/django-mailman3/1.3.3rc1/ Python 3.6+ and Django 2.0+ is supported for all of them. Django 3.0 support for Hyperkitty requires manually upgrading a dependency (django-haystack>=3.0b2, once a stable version of this has been released, it shouldn't require manually upgrading). There are tons of bug-fixes across the board and some new features. Biggest visible change is switch to Bootstrap 4, which has been long pending for us. Bootstrap 4 completely changes the CSS grid model using the new Flexbox. There might be some small changes or breakages when using on mobile. Please report such issues to us via Gitlab! Some other notable changes are in Postorius, which includes many more list settings exposed include content filtering settings, bounce processing (which was added in the previous release of Mailman Core) settings and some other ones. You can now also specify a reason when rejecting held messages. There was also a gnarly bug, which caused the name of some members to be the string "None". For the longest time, I couldn't figure out the reason for it, but it ended up being a simple fix in mailmanclient's json serialization of display_name, which would result in Python's None value being passed as string "None" to Mailman's API for subscription. There is also better support for filtering visible lists based on the current vhost, which I see a few people are already waiting for from mailman-users list. A full changelog has been added to each project in the top. These are still pre-releases and if you are installing via pip, you would need the `--pre` flag, for e.g. $ pip install --pre --upgrade postorius hyperkitty As with all other releases, these have also been running on mail.python.org and lists.mailman3.org for some time now, so it should be relatively safe to upgrade to. Stable releases for this is now scheduled in 1 week, hopefully, next weekend. -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

Updating from Ubuntu-20.04 LTE installation
by Peter Adebahr 24 May '20

24 May '20

Hi Mark, thank you for the fast solution of our subscription problem - which brings me to the next step: Our installation was done by "apt-get install" in Ubuntu 20, thus still running MM 3.2.2 (and python 3.8.2). Do you have any advise, how to upgrade from there to your current version? I know this might be a bit dangerous, but with today's VMs the risk is much less than it used to be: Do you think it would be possible, just to replace the code and library parts, keeping the database and config files as is? If not, what would you do when you have to keep the system running (except for maintenance time, of course)? Thank you again and and have a nice relaxed weekend Peter

Subscribing by E-Mail

Hi *, on MM2 systems, we used to subscribe people via an external application by sending an e-mail to the request address with a subject of "subscribe address=user(a)example.com" This returns a "bad argument" in MM3 - any ideas how to solve this?

I am thinking about incorporating the following Postorius/Django account feature into Affinity: Other emails: (no other email) Link another address However I cannot think of a serious real-world need for this.

/hyperkitty/list/ shows "example.com" / mailman3 archives not updated
by patrick-mailinglists＠whonix.org 18 May '20

18 May '20

/hyperkitty/list/ shows "example.com". Not the actual domain name that I configured. How can I fix this? I would not mind too much about hyperkitty showing "example.com". But the more important issue is that mailman3 archives are not updated. Therefore I guess it's a symptom of a more important issue. E-mails to the list are delivered to e-mail subscribers, though. Seems only the web part is broken. Using Debian buster mailman3 packages. In configuration folder /etc/mailman3 I cannot find any textual string saying "example.com". (`grep -r -i example /etc/mailman3`) Therefore I don't know where mailman3 gets "example.com" from. Could be broken linux file/folder access rights? Any way to debug? Kind regards, Patrick

I'm trying to use AWS SES as a mail relay for IP Health and other tidbits and it seems like it's very particular on what the headers look like. The FROM field has to be from a verified email meaning the list name has to be in the from field. I'm getting something along these lines for the rejection: May 15 16:28:26 lists postfix/smtp[2938320]: 1EA6C13880A: to=< csgeek(a)esamir.com>, relay=email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com[52.88.99.145]:587, delay=0.76, delays=0.01/0.02/0.43/0.31, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com[52.88.99.145] said: 554 Message rejected: Email address is not verified. The following identities failed the check in region US-WEST-2: Samir Faci <samir(a)esamir.com> (in reply to end of DATA command)) If on the other hand I enable the Anonymous list option then everything works, but I obviously have no clue who sent the email or how to respond to the person (if they're not subscribed) Is there a way to force mailman to ensure that the list name shows up in the from field? -- Thank you Samir Faci https://keybase.io/csgeek

Github auth deprecated API
by Quanah Gibson-Mount 14 May '20

14 May '20

The version of mailman3 I'm running apparently uses a deprecated API for GitHub authentication. Does anyone know if this has been fixed? I couldn't find an issue for it on the postorius issue tracker. Sample email: ==================================================== Hello there! On May 14th, 2020 at 00:38 (UTC) your application used an access token (with the User-Agent python-requests/2.21.0) as part of a query parameter to access an endpoint through the GitHub API. https://api.github.com/user Please use the Authorization HTTP header instead as using the `access_token` query parameter is deprecated. Depending on your API usage, we'll be sending you this email reminder on a monthly basis. Visit https://developer.github.com/changes/2020-02-10-deprecating-auth-through-qu… for more information about suggested workarounds and removal dates. ==================================================== Thanks, Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Product Architect Symas Corporation Packaged, certified, and supported LDAP solutions powered by OpenLDAP: <http://www.symas.com>

Open List
by Samir Faci 13 May '20

13 May '20

So, I found a setting to allow me to create an Open List. I assume this is still doable in MM3 though I can't find the equivalent option. https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2009-March/065479.html 2nd question is how do I create a new List Style. I'd like Open- Archived and Open-NonArchived to be options when creating a new list. -- Thank you Samir Faci https://keybase.io/csgeek

Mailman3 command line issue: NameError: name 'cli' is not defined when executing command=cli
by John W 13 May '20

13 May '20

Hi, I am following the guide here: https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/commands/docs/create.h… and am falling at the first hurdle. command = cli('mailman.commands.cli_lists.create') NameError: name 'cli' is not defined. I am running the command in the mailman shell. Doing a help("mailman.commands") works so Python can see that. I thought it might require pyCLI so I installed that but still no joy.

Held messages not being deleted

Hi, I am finding that held messages although being deleted in the database are still being stored in the ~/var/messages directory structure. Is this by design? Thanks. Andrew.

Understanding of members, accounts
by Peter Adebahr 12 May '20

12 May '20

Hi *, meanwhile we have subscribed a few addresses by the method of mass subscription. As these have to be private lists, users will have to provide a password to get access to the archives. I haven't found a way to provide, as admin, passwords to users. So I assumed users should go to "login", "lost password" and thus set their own. Alas, their e-mail addresses are not found in any list. Is the solution to "sign up", using one's very e-mail address already in the system? I would like to understand why there is a difference between being (only) a subscribed member and a member having an account - or, what might be the advantage of being a member without an account? Thank you and best regards, Peter

Handling of Mail from non-subscribers
by Peter Adebahr 09 May '20

09 May '20

Hi *, I have a fresh setup of MM3 on Ubuntu 20, installed by apt-get. It seems to be running fine so far, except for some (to me) strange behaviour: When posting to the list as a non-subscriber, I see the mail coming in on mailman's smtp.log, then it vanishes. No notice of this mail being hold is sent to the sender, no notice to the moderator, and logging into Postorius as owner of the list, it is not showing up in "Held messages" "Hold for moderation" has been set. Any idea how to debug this will be welcome - thank you :) Best regards, Peter

PSA: Avoiding spam-scanning outgoing mailman3 mail
by Mark Dadgar 08 May '20

08 May '20

So I integrated SpamAssassin into my mailman3 server the other day, using the ubuntu packages which implement the “standard” SpamAssassin install with a filter on port 25 and re-injection using /usr/sbin/sendmail. From postfix/master.cf: # ========================================================================== # service type private unpriv chroot wakeup maxproc command + args # (yes) (yes) (yes) (never) (100) # ========================================================================== smtp inet n - n - 10 smtpd -o content_filter=spamassassin spamassassin unix - n n - - pipe user=debian-spamd argv=/usr/bin/spamc -f -e /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -f ${sender} ${recipient} The problem there, of course, is that mailman3 traffic gets scanned twice: once on the way in from the original sender and once on the way out as mailman3 duplicates it to list recipients. This is because out-of-the-box mailman3 tends to be configured to re-inject list email via port 25, which is scanning for spam on incoming email. This is horribly inefficient, obviously, and gets worse the bigger your mailing list is. Given that it’s written in Perl, SpamAssassin isn’t the most efficient thing in the first place. Anyway, I got literally zero hits on solving this when I googled it, so here’s mine to save future mailman3+SpamAssassin users some grief. The easy fix was to edit the [mta] setting in mailman.cfg to deliver email via the submit port instead, which has no filtering applied to it: smtp_host: localhost # using the submit port bypasses spamassassin filtering on outgoing list email smtp_port: 587 smtp_user: mm3send <— I created this user for this purpose smtp_pass: <password-for-mm3send-user> This works great and can be applied to any email filtering. FYI. - Mark ----- mark(a)pdc-racing.net | 408-348-2878

Link in the top-left corner of Hyperkitty

Hello, There is a link to the root of Hyperkitty in the top left corner of my Hyperkitty pages. It links to the correct domain, but the text isn’t right - it’s the first domain name I was using at the beginning of my install for testing. I’d like to update it, but can’t find what to change. Thanks, Seth

Post log?
by Mark Dadgar 06 May '20

06 May '20

Is there the equivalent of the post log from mailman 2.x available? I see every logging option but that one listed here: https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/config/docs/config.htm… <https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/config/docs/config.htm…> That was a handy way to track list traffic statistics and I was hoping to munge up the old mm_stats script to use the mailman3 logging format. I am running the ubuntu 3.2.2-based package. Thanks, as always! - Mark ----- mark(a)pdc-racing.net | 408-348-2878

How to remove a nonmember from a list
by skenny＠scss.tcd.ie 05 May '20

05 May '20

Hi, I've been banging my head against the proverbial wall for more than a day trying to remove nonmembers from a list (I am a Mailman3 and Python novice so that might account for something, but anyway ...) According to https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message…, it should be possible to do: MailingList.remove_role('nonmember', 'email_address(a)example.com') However I can't get this to work. I think I have manage to track down all the required imports. This is what I see: TypeError: remove_role() missing 1 required positional argument: 'address' More digging in the docs seems to indicate that a third parameter is required - "self". At this point though I am way out of my depth, and would appreciate any guidance. Thanks very much Stephen Kenny

HyperKitty Question
by Samir Faci 05 May '20

05 May '20

Okay, I have mailman3 working to allow me to send/receive emails. postorius seems to be working fine. My only issue seems to be with hyperkitty saving the archive. postorius seems to be working fine. Hyperkitty on the other hand is failing. I have nginx running with multiple website being serviced from the same server. I updated the config where port 80 gets redirected to SSL. I tried setting mailman3-hyperkitty.conf to both: base_url: http://localhost/hyperkitty/ base_url: https://lists.domain.com/hyperkitty/ But neither seem to be working. Does hyperkitty require traffic to be going over port 80? -- Thank you Samir Faci https://keybase.io/csgeek

If that's the fix is have to add every recepients > domain to mynetworks. You absolutely don't want to do that. The log entry is confusing. Between your munging domains and my MUA adding mailto: links to every email address, it's a mess. Let's try again: May 4 03:07:38 lists postfix/smtpd[1968155]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[198.199.98.177]: 554 5.7.1 <csgeek(a)domain.com>: Relay access denied; from=<booh-bounces+csgeek=domain.com(a)lists.domain.org> to=<csgeek(a)domain.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<[127.0.1.1]>. This says Postfix received a RCPT command from 98.199.98.177. It looks like it comes from Mailman, i.e., the envelope sender loogs like a Mailman VERPed address <booh-bounces+csgeek=domain.com(a)lists.domain.org> for a message to <csgeek(a)domain.com> and that is the envelope recipient and the sender identified itself in EHLO as [127.0.1.1]. So Postfix thinks it is asked to relay from 98.199.98.177 to domain.com. Note that 98.199.98.177 is a Comcast network IP. It has nothing to do with gmail. So is the connect comes from Mailman on the Postfix machine, why does Postfix think it comes from 98.199.98.177. That's the issue. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

Separating Lists by Domain
by brian＠emwd.com 01 May '20

01 May '20

I have successfully setup a second domain with my Mailman3 setup. I also created a list using the second domain. So I have two domains with one list each. The issue I see at this point is all of the lists are shown via Postorius regardless of the list domain used. Is it possible to have only the lists to show that are part of the domain being used to access? For example: http://domaina.com/postorius/lists/ Only listnames(a)domaina.com show up. http://domainb.com/postorius/lists/ Only listnames(a)domainb.com show up. Right now both domaina AND domainb lists showup regardless of the domain being used to access Postorius. The same goes for Hyperkitty as well. Brian

Running mailman3 on AWS and dealing with SES email verification
by Mohsen Masoudfar 01 May '20

01 May '20

Hi, This seems to be a very basic question and/or issue, but I could not find a reliable for it: Assume a list member with the email address like (just as an example) joe.student(a)university.edu<mailto:joe.student@university.edu> sends an email to a list, Mailman gets the email, processes it and would try to send that email to all members with a sender field as: 'joe.student(a)university.edu<mailto:joe.student@university.edu>'. plus listname(a)listserver.TLD<mailto:listname@listserver.TLD> AWS allows verified email addresses to send an email from an EC2 to internet, so the listname(a)listserver.TLD<mailto:listname@listserver.TLD> is OK, because listserver.TLD is already verified, BUT Joe's email is not and cannot be, because there are thousands of list users and they can change daily. The result is that Mailman's try to send the email would fail with the following error message: Message rejected: Email address is not verified. The following identities failed the check in region US-EAST-1: joe.student(a)university.edu<mailto:joe.student@university.edu> I changed the list property and made it an anonymous one, and it started sending the emails to the whole list members, but only with listname(a)listserver.TLD<mailto:listname@listserver.TLD> as the sender. So the list recipients cannot know the initiator of the discussion. I found some solution: * Asking the members to add their email to the signature * manipulating the from field and add the name of the sender as a comment, not that easy, needs some Python code * manipulating the from files and replacing the @ with something else, not that easy, needs some Python code * . . . More important: None of these would allow a simple click on the reply bottom to send the email to the original sender. I am thinking of running mailman on-premise and use our email relay, which we have full control on. But really, there is no elegant solution for this? I already opened a ticket with AWS support and they just insisted on their policy of verification.

Importing Mailman 2 Lists apart from Django
by Brian Carpenter 30 Apr '20

30 Apr '20

Hello Mailman Users, Are there instructions on importing a Mailman 2 list into a Mailman 3 core installation only? Does the import21 script not need Django/Postorius/Hyperkitty? It seems Django is required to import archives I guess because of the use of Hyperkitty. How about importing archives without having a Django installation? Is that what the prototype archiver for? We are getting ready to start working on a custom forum application for Mailman 3 (called Empathy) and I am would like to import some mailman 2 archives into the development server to work with. Thanks. -- Please let me know if you need further assistance. Thank you for your business. We appreciate our clients.

hyperkitty web site
by Gelpi Andrea 28 Apr '20

28 Apr '20

Hi, after importing old mm2 messages into mm3 archive I found that hyperkitty dos not show the lists index in home page if FILTER_VHOST = True https://website/mailman3/hyperkitty/ show an empty lists. If I add list/list@domain1 I can see the archive. I think the problem is the domain name example.com that I saw in the upper left corner. If in django administration I rename that site it works. But having more than one domain this is not a solution. what i need is to separate different domains https:/website1/mailman3/hyperkitty shows some lists https:/website2/mailman3/hyperkitty shows other lists Where am I wrong? What have I to change in hyperkitty to have the correct domain shown? Is there a documentation to configure that? Hyperkitty version is 1.2.2 Thank you. -- Gelpi ing.

Hi, I have setup Mailman 3.3 version and would like to use the REST API by another application. But that application is on another machine and so I need to allow accessibility from another machine also. Along with that as I am trying to access from another machine I need to access the REST API of mailman 3 over https only. Could any one guide me to enable mailman 3 REST API over https and access from another machine other than localhost only ? -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936

MM2 to MM3 on debian 10
by Gelpi Andrea 28 Apr '20

28 Apr '20

Hi, on a debian 10 with MM3 I'm trying to migrate form some old MM2 mailing lists. I know that not all can work. In my old lists I have email and regular expressions in reject_these_nonmembers and discard_these_nonmembers After importing the list all these email are in non member list. All these email have Delivery status enabled. Does this mean that all of them will receive any message sent to the list? The moderation rule is correct, but if I understood correct Delivery status should be disabled. For migration I followed this link https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/migration.html To migrate archives it states to run python manage.py hyperkitty ... I cant' find a manage.py on debian 10 A search shows the only /usr/share/mailman3-web/manage.py exists. Is there any documentation specific for debian? Thank You -- Gelpi ing.

Re: [Mailman-Developers] How to know the URLs for CURL while getting or modifying the data of mailman 3
by Stephen J. Turnbull 25 Apr '20

25 Apr '20

Shashi, This whole thread is off-topic for the developers list. This list is for development of Mailman, not for teaching people to use it. Read the whole recommended documentation before you ask busy developers to tutor you in very basic things. There's a mailman-users(a)mailman3.org list for users to help each other. All of the Mailman developers who might be willing to answer your questions are there as well, but there are also many experienced users, some of whom have experimented with the REST API who will also help. Please reply there for further help. (Reply-To is set.) That said, there are plenty of URLs in the API documentation. Here's a hint: search for "dump_json". That function takes an URL. You may want https: instead of http: in your URLs, and you may need to change the port from 9001, depending on the configuration of your REST server. Try it with simple GET requests for information first, such as for domains or lists. You can also do these requests with an ordinary web browser, though I don't know what it will do with the JSON-formatted reply. If you don't have domains and lists configured, I suppose the informational requests will come back as empty JSON objects. It should be safe to make them. You can either use Postorius to bootstrap a few example domains, lists, and users, or (the hard way) figure out how to POST appropriate requests. I don't recommend trying to update the backend DBMS by hand; the schema is quite complicated. I don't know how to use curl to update Mailman's databases. That requires a POST request which I have never done with curl. The POST request needs to be valid JSON. The more I think about this, the less I think your idea of using curl is worthwhile, because formatting JSON requests by hand is going to be a real annoyance and a great way to mess up your database with spurious information. You're really going to want programmatic support for this. But that's already all available in Python in the Mailman system. It's up to you, but I feel a responsibility to warn you that using curl is not going to be simpler than learning enough Python to do these things. Regards,

Bounce processing
by Andrew Hodgson 23 Apr '20

23 Apr '20

Hi, Just upgraded to Mailman 3.3.1 at the beginning of the week and its very refreshing to have bounce processing working after all this time, stops the continued delivery to dud email addresses causing problems with junk email scoring. Anyway after a few days of using this I have noted the following feedback: When users are set to disabled after their bounce score reaches a certain threshold, I seem to recall on Mailman 2 they were sent an email with a link to reactivate their subscription. On Mailman 3 they are told to contact the list admin, I have had messages from a few subscribers regarding this asking how they can re-enable delivery. I am also getting bounces that look like they are coming from Qmail (Yahoo addresses) which are being forwarded to the list owner as unrecognised bounces. Should the type of bounces that Mailman 2 was handling be handled in Mailman 3 or is the way that the addresses are extracted different? I have disabled the relevant users but do have the bounces to hand. Thanks. Andrew.

Different Mail Domain Cause Key Error
by Brian Carpenter 22 Apr '20

22 Apr '20

I have a client that requires his list address to be list(a)domain.com. But since he is using domain.com for an external website, he has to access his list via Postorius using list.domain.com. So here is what I did: Django Admin Add Site: list.domain.com Add Mail Domain: domain.com (Site selected is list.domain.com) Postorius Add Domain: Mailhost is domain.com. Web Host is list.domain.com (list.domain.com). I have list.domain.com listed in the allowed hosts in settings_local.py. I even added domain.com there as well. When I try to access Postorius using list.domain.com I get a "An error occurred while processing your request." message and the logs shows the dreaded: ``` 'Internal Server Error: /mailman3/lists/ KeyError at /mailman3/lists/ 'file' ``` Did I miss a step here? Thanks, Brian

MM3 gateway errors and frequent reboot needs
by hansen＠rc.org 22 Apr '20

22 Apr '20

We have had to reboot the list server almost every week and wonder if there is something leaking and eating up resources. I does not appear to be memory, though. The server is slow to respond (could be because it's overseas) and then after some time we get intermittent gateway errors and finally we cannot access the lists online because of the gateway errors. It appears to me that the issue is with Postorius, but I could be wrong. Do files get closed after opening? Are we alone having such issues? Please advise. PS: My old MM2 installation could (and did) run without any help. Not so with MM3.

Mailman Core 3.3.1 release
by Abhilash Raj 19 Apr '20

19 Apr '20

Hey Everyone, I am pleased to announce Mailman Core 3.3.1 is now out. This release includes support for bounce processing, which had been lacking in Mailman 3 until now. So, after upgrading to this release, you will notice bounce related notifications from Mailman 3 being sent out to list owners if the list has bounce processing enabled (which, most list do by default). Postorius changes for new bounce processing options are coming out soon, I would like the current head to bake in a little longer since it went through bootstrap 4 upgrade recently. Expect it to be out in about a month. If your users would really care about bounce processing being enabled and not being able to tune threshold and notification parameters in the web interface, you might want to wait for Postorius's next release before upgrading. It also exposes all the remaining attributes of MailingList via REST API, so Postorius can expose them in the Web Interface. This should finally make all attributes of a MailingList manageable via Web Interface, without having to access command line interface. There has also been a whole lot of bug fixes. A full list of changes can be found at: https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/NEWS.html#id1 The release is available via PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/mailman/3.3.1/ To install this release via pip, you can run: $ pip install --upgrade mailman -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

Is a directory: '…/mailman/templates'
by Stefan Tatschner 14 Apr '20

14 Apr '20

hey folks, I am struggling with my mailman server for quite some time now. I am on 3.3 and the out runner cannot sent emails any more. According to this issue [1] I found out--by logging the exception as well--, that mailman has this problem: Mar 31 09:34:51 2020 (71057) ACCEPT: <c1e4aa1be5b61c289c69a66a6d55565333d5a35b.camel(a)rumpelsepp.org> Mar 31 09:34:52 2020 (71079) Cannot connect to SMTP server 127.0.0.1 on port 25: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mailman/templates' What the hell is going on here? ☹︎ any ideas what's wrong? The runner doesn't try to connect to postfix, since it fails with a strange template error. Stefan [1]: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/514

Mailman Core 3.3.1rc1 release
by Abhilash Raj 10 Apr '20

10 Apr '20

Hey Everyone, I have just released Mailman Core 3.3.1rc1. The final release is scheduled for next week, 17th April. This release includes support for bounce processing, which had been lacking in Mailman 3 until now. So, after upgrading to this release, you will notice bounce related notifications from Mailman 3 being sent out to list owners if the list has bounce processing enabled (which, most list do by default).

If you can, I encourage you to try this out with your environment and report any major breakage to us. We have been running this code on the server hosting this list, so it has already seen some testing, but it is always nice to have some more. If there aren't any major breaking changes reported, the final release will be identical to this one. -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

SMTPAuthenticationError at /accounts/login/
by mmasoudf＠aaas.org 09 Apr '20

09 Apr '20

I have setup the stack according to: Mailman Suite Documentation. Release 3.3 PDF file. I configured EMAIL_HOST_USER and EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD in Django settings.py. I could not find the place that I might configure it for Postfix and , sort of logically, I get the following error: SMTPAuthenticationError at /accounts/login/ I can see that it tries the user name and password I configured in settings.py (EMAIL_HOST_USER , EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD). When I try to access the site through the web. I can login as admin, but not as any other user. I am running the site on AWS and to be able to use AWS mail-servers I have to define following parameter for AWS: smtp_sasl_password_maps which points to a hash for AWS 'ACCESS KEY ID' and 'SECRET ACCESS KEY' Any idea is highly appreciated.

Outgoing STMP services? IP reputations?
by Seth Seeger 07 Apr '20

07 Apr '20

Hello everyone, Forgive me if this is the wrong list. I’m curious to hear what users are doing for MM3 hosting and what you are using for outgoing services. I am hosting a Mailman3 installation for a community that I am part of, and we have 6 lists which generated 136,000 outgoing emails last month. I’m currently hosting this on a 2-core 4GB RAM EC2 (t3a.medium) instance at Amazon. I went with Amazon because their outgoing email relay (SES) is free for the first 62,000 emails/month. (I didn’t do my homework - I thought that would be plenty!) I’d much rather be hosting on Linode, since their setup is waaaaay simpler and easier to understand. I went with an SMTP service so that I wouldn’t have to deal with managing an IP address reputation…. (Any other SMTP relay service besides the Amazon SES/hosting would cost >$80/month.) Do you use an SMTP relay service? Do you just send directly from your VM’s IP address? Do you have trouble with getting black listed? What have you done about your IP address reputation? Is DKIM and SPF enough to get past an IP address without an established reputation? Thank you! Seth

Protocol version
by David Krantz 05 Apr '20

05 Apr '20

Hi. I have the following displayed when I look at the "System Information" in Postorius: Mailman Core Version GNU Mailman 3.3.0 (La Villa Strangiato) Mailman Core API Version 3.0 Mailman Core Python Version 3.7.6 (default, Dec 19 2019, 23:49:42) [GCC 5.4.0 20160609] What surprises me is the protocol version. I have tried to set the protocol version to 3.1 in mailman core (which should be the latest according to the documentation) and restarting both core and web but that gives no effect. Normally I have not had any protocol version defined. Everything seems to work just fine but something is strange, either the documentation, my setup or mailman/postorius. // David

Postorius confirmation mails shown in uwsgi-error.log but not sent
by Ralph Seichter 04 Apr '20

04 Apr '20

I have struggled for hours but cannot seem to figure it out. After registering new user accounts in Postorius, the "confirm your address" emails don't get sent via SMTP (my MTA does not even log connection attempts), but their content is displayed in uwsgi-error.log. I think I disabled developer mode in Core and Postorius: $ mailman conf | grep devmode [devmode] enabled: no [devmode] recipient: [devmode] testing: no [devmode] wait: 60s $ grep ^DEBUG settings.py DEBUG = False Users can subscribe via list-join(a)domain.tld, including confirmations. Account registration using the WebUI works as well, it's just the emails that don't get sent. What am I missing, I wonder? -Ralph

WE are currently using mailman2. I have the task to setup and install a maiman3 server. Postfix is installed and working. Can anybody point me to a link where the actual installation is described using RHEL 7 or RHEL 8. This will be a hardened DISA compliant server, so I am trying to avoid installing compilers and tools that are not part of the standard RHEL 7 repos. Thank You, Best regards, Ralf Wiegand

Mailman3 moving to new server, not able to establish SMTP connection
by Andrew Hodgson 28 Mar '20

28 Mar '20

Hi, Whilst we are all stuck in doors I have started a project to move Mailman3 from a Docker installation to a new server using a Python venv. Old server was Debian Jessie and the new one is Buster. Using Exim with stock config. Everything seems to be going ok but mail isn't delivering (cannot connect to SMTP server). I have /opt/mailman which I did chown -R list:list mailman.cfg has following MTA settings: [mta] incoming: mailman.mta.exim4.LMTP configuration: python:mailman.config.exim4 I wrote a Systemd unit which starts Mailman from the venv and started up Mailman once I got Postgres sorted so it would create the necessary files in the var directory structure. One thing I noticed and had to fix is that it doesn't creat the directories for existing lists, and the Exim config examples out there check for the existance of those directories to identify whether the address exists. I created those anyway and set ownership perms as before. Once I fixed that I sent a test message to the owner address and that routed correctly and the headers indicated the message was sent back to localhost by Mailman. However I can't get it to route a list message, here is a log showing the start of the Mailman master processes and me sending a test message from Outlook (so incoming mail is routing ok): Mar 28 16:03:20 2020 (21877) Master started Mar 28 16:03:32 2020 (21889) lmtp runner started.

Any suggestions? Thanks. Andrew.

Things I miss about mailman2
by Quanah Gibson-Mount 24 Mar '20

24 Mar '20

Now that we are on mailman3, I'm finding things that were really useful in mailman2 are completely missing in mailman3, which seems odd, since they in particular affect the ability of list moderators to do their job well. a) When a post was made to a moderated list in mailman2, I would get an email that included a LINK to the held email. Now I just get a canned email saying I need to go to the dashboard, blah blah. Why was this link removed? It was extremely useful and now I have to jump through extra hoops. b) When a post is made to a moderated list in mailman2, when I went to the page to approve/deny/discard, there was additionally an option to remove the moderated flag from the user for all future emails. This option no longer exists. This was EXTREMELY useful, as we force all new members of the list to be moderated for a time while we evaluate the quality of their postings. Now I have to go manually track down the user and their settings. Unnecessary extra hoops to jump through c) When a post is made to a moderated list, one of the options when selecting REJECT was it allowed me to set a custom message when rejecting the email. This was extremely useful. For example today, someone emailed our bug tracking list directly instead of filing a bug. In the past, I would have added a note to them about what they should do (in this case, I would have told them to send their email to our community technical discussion list). Now I can no longer do that, I can only reject it or discard it. Why was this removed? --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Product Architect Symas Corporation Packaged, certified, and supported LDAP solutions powered by OpenLDAP: <http://www.symas.com>

Are there alternative search engines to Xapian that can be used for Mailman 3? I have come to understand that Xapian development stalled in the v2.0 attempt.

Finding a user to delete them
by Quanah Gibson-Mount 17 Mar '20

17 Mar '20

Due to a bug in mailman3, I have an incorrect user that's been created via github auth that has no confirmed email address yet. I've been poking around the user manager documentation (why is there no UI for user management???), and after adding in bits that are missing from the official documentation (<https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/model/docs/usermanager…> is missing "from mailman.testing.documentation import dump_list" despite using dump_list repeatedly in its examples) I can't find the user. I have the confirmation email mailman3 sent out, that tells me the username mailman3 created for the incorrect account is "quanah98", but the user manager documentation doesn't detail how to find a user by their username, only their email. And apparently if the email hasn't been confirmed (and I *do not* want it confirmed), you can't find them by email. Suggestions on how to track down this user so I can delete them would be much appreciated.

Add old email address
by Quanah Gibson-Mount 14 Mar '20

14 Mar '20

We've recently migrated our project's email lists from mailman2 to mailman3. Given the project has been around for a few decades, many people have used different email addresesses over the years, some of which they no longer have access to. However, it would be useful to still be able to associate those emails with a given account. Is there a way that I can do this as an administrator of the mailman3 system?

Using REST api to subscribe member
by Brian Carpenter 11 Mar '20

11 Mar '20

I have a development server that only has Mailman core installed on it. I used a virtual environment to do the installation but I did not install Postorius or Hyperkitty as I am currently working on developing a custom u.i. for Mailman 3. My programmer said the following: "I have a problem with mailman on development server ... I was trying to add member to a list using REST api, but to no avail. After I tried all possible and impossible things, I finally looked at the logs. Error I found in log file is: IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/mailman/templates' I guess mailman was looking for a template for welcome mail, and failed for some reason. I also guess this has something to do with locale or language settings I tried googling, but couldn't find anything" The log that gave the error was /opt/mailman/mm/logs/mailman.log My programmer tried it on another server that has both Postorius and Hyperkitty working and the api call worked, i.e. added the member to the list and sent out a welcome email. So what else do I need to install to be able to use the api to add members to a list using a non-postorius interface? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks, Brian

Help on removing moderators
by sean_sullivan＠rhoworld.com 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

Hello Mailman-users. I was hoping someone more experienced than myself would be able to help me with an issue I am currently experiencing. I have created a function to add moderators which works great, but I have also been trying to remove moderators as another function, but I am running into some issues. When I use the mailman shell based upon the documentation, it works great: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailmanclient/en/latest/src/mailmanclien… everything works as expected. However, if I try and bring that in as a function that can be used with mailman withlist, I am consistently getting errors, and being that I am not very experienced in python, it has me scratching my head to say the least. from mailmanclient import Client from mailman.interfaces.member import MemberRole, AlreadySubscribedError from mailman.testing.helpers import subscribe addresses = ['test1(a)example.com', 'test2(a)example.com', 'test3(a)example.com'] client = Client('http://localhost:8001/3.1', 'restadmin', 'restpass') def set_owners(mlist): for email_addr in addresses: try: member = subscribe(mlist, '', email=email_addr, role=MemberRole.owner ) print (member) except AlreadySubscribedError as err: print (err) def remove(mlist): my_list = client.get_list(mlist) # print(my_list.fqdn_listname) # for email_addr in addresses: # my_list.remove_owner(email_addr) The errors I am getting are: ./bin/mailman withlist -r set_owners.remove -l it-test-b(a)lists.rhoworld.com Traceback (most recent call last): File "./bin/mailman", line 8, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 764, in __call__ return self.main(*args, **kwargs) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 717, in main rv = self.invoke(ctx) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/bin/mailman.py", line 68, in invoke return super().invoke(ctx) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 1137, in invoke return _process_result(sub_ctx.command.invoke(sub_ctx)) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 956, in invoke return ctx.invoke(self.callback, **ctx.params) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 555, in invoke return callback(*args, **kwargs) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/decorators.py", line 17, in new_func return f(get_current_context(), *args, **kwargs) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/commands/cli_withlist.py", line 293, in shell r = call_name(dotted_name, m, *run_args) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/utilities/modules.py", line 70, in call_name return named_callable(*args, **kws) File "/opt/mailman3/bin/set_owners.py", line 24, in remove my_list = client.get_list(mlist) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailmanclient/client.py", line 347, in get_list 'lists/{0}'.format(fqdn_listname)) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/connection.py", line 112, in call error_msg, response, None) urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: 404 Not Found So, I am wondering, is it possible to do something like this or am I completely misunderstanding the documentation, and why do I get a 404 here, when in the shell everything works as expected. I know I must be missing something, but cannot for the life of me figure out what that is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sean

Mailman web Stopped working after upgrade
by David Krantz 03 Mar '20

03 Mar '20

Hi. I have a VERY strange behaviour. I upgraded mailman3 and mailman web this weekend. It works fine (apart from ARC which don't work correctly in my setup but that is ok). But tonight the web user interface stopped working and I have not been logged in since it worked last time so something very strange is going on. I get the dreadful error message about psycopg2._psycopg is missing although it is installed both in ubuntu and in pip in the venv I run mailman. Mailman core still works fine, it is just Django being flaky. I think that this might be due to some kind of python misfeature where compiled code behaves slightly differently to interpreted code, that might explain the delay in it working initially before breaking. I have no idea of how to solve this. I have tried to uninstall and reinstlall psycopg2 in different versions without any luck. Any ideas? Logs below. I get the following in the web server error log (removing the web things that frankly are not interesting): mod_wsgi (pid=4488): Target WSGI script 'MAILMANROOT/bin/mailman-web20200229.wsgi' cannot be loaded as Python module. mod_wsgi (pid=4488): Exception occurred processing WSGI script 'MAILMANROOT/bin/mailman-web20200229.wsgi'.

Running customized version of Mailman 3
by Alan Kelm 03 Mar '20

03 Mar '20

Since 2005, our organization has been running a customized version of Mailman 2 with extensions that meet our particular needs. The main novelty is support for /fixed subscription lists/, in which the list members are predetermined (corresponding to a "committee"). Fixed list subscribers are not offered the opportunity to unsubscribe, nor can others add themselves to the list. A further enhancement is /hybrid lists/ which, for example, have both a fixed and opt-in part. (This is implemented as a fixed list residing within an opt-in one in a way which is transparent to users). Our customizations consist of code adjustments (patches) to 23 files. We are considering moving to Mailman 3 and would like to do this in a way which makes it possible to periodically upgrade our installation to the newest Mailman version, without clobbering our customizations. Thus, I do not think that installing via "pip" is the right approach for us. While I'm relatively new to git and GitLab, they seem to be ideally suited to this situation. If I understand the developer documentation correctly, I start out by creating a "fork" and can later "fetch" changes from the master branch and "rebase" to bring them into our branch. I would welcome comments on what we are doing. I also wonder whether others might be interested in support for "fixed lists", if they are done in a way which can be "contributed" back into Mailman. I extend our "thank you" to the developers of Mailman who have provided the robust system which has served us well for 15 years and provides the possibility to extend this into the future. -Alan -- Alan Kelm Manager, Electronic Services Canadian Mathematical Society Tel: +1 (613) 733-2662 ext. 799 Please consider the environment.

ARC issues
by David Krantz 02 Mar '20

02 Mar '20

Hi! I have now tested ARC signing of messages a bit more and have found (I think) all settings so that it works in that it generates the signed headers that ARC is. But the signature is not accepted; gmail says "body hash mismatch" and hotmail says "arc=fail (47)". I have set the following settings under the [ARC] section. I have tried both with the sig_headers set as displayed below and with it commented to lean against the defaults. I use the same key and selector as for DKIM-signing with the server's domain. The DKIM-signature is accepted. Is there any known issues with ARC that I should be aware of? I run the latest release of mailman (3.3.0 of core) on Python 3.7.6 and I use postfix as MTA. enabled: yes privkey: <my key path> selector: <my selector> domain: <my server's domain> dmarc: yes dkim: yes authserv_id: <my server's domain> trusted_authserv_ids: <my hosted domains> #sig_headers: From, Sender, Reply-To, Subject, Date, Message-ID, To, Cc, MIME-Version, Content-Type, Content-Transfer-Encoding, Content-ID, Content-Description, Resent-Date, Resent-From, Resent-Sender, Resent-To, Resent-Cc, Resent-Message-ID, In-Reply-To, References, List-Id, List-Help, List-Unsubscribe, List-Subscribe, List-Post, List-Owner, List-Archive I hope that this is something simple that I have forgot. Cheers // David

How to run 'manage.py update_index_one_list' command.
by Frank van den Heuvel 26 Feb '20

26 Feb '20

I am importing old archives mbox files from Mailman2. I have fixed the archive mail address to reflect the address of the destination import. These are the steps: 1. sed 's|oldlist@oldexample\.org|testlist@example\.org|g' mbox > mbox.testlist 2. /opt/mailman/mm/bin/django-admin hyperkitty_import --since 01/01/1990 -l testlist(a)example.org mbox.testlist The output of the last command is: Computing thread structure Synchronizing properties with Mailman Warming up cache The full-text search index is not updated for this list. It will not be updated by the 'minutely' incremental update job. \ To update the index for this list, run the 'manage.py update_index_one_list testlist(a)example.org' command. The result is that the e-mail's are imported but not indexed. To finalize this process I am seeking manage.py that will execute the update index command. I am on a Debian 10 with Mailman3 in /opt. locate manage.py returns: /opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/conf/project_template/manage.py-tpl /opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/example_project/manage.py /opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/falcon/bench/dj/manage.py None of these python files can execute the needed command. What can I do to get the newly imported posts indexed? Regards, Frank

Mass unverified subscriptions end up as pending user confirmation instead.
by hansen＠rc.org 26 Feb '20

26 Feb '20

After mass subscribing with these settings: Pre confirm: Yes, Pre approved: Yes, Pre Verified (sic): No the addresses appeared in the list's 'Pending user confirmation' list. They were pre-confirmed. The addresses did not appear in the Django Admin's non-verified addresses list. They were not verified. Also why does Postorius lists just 'Pending Approval' and 'Pending Confirmation' but not 'Pending Verification'? Yours, Allan

leaving Sympa for MM3
by rance.hall＠esu10.org 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

Our shop is an educational shop and left mailman many years ago for Sympa because of features in Sympa not in mailman. Currently Sympa is showing its age, and is relying on perl modules that have been EOL's and the Sympa community has not discussed (within in ear-shot of me at least) what to do about it. We found that we are not using the extra features Sympa provides anymore and with MM3 already dockerized it seems that MM3 is a much better fit for our organization for the foreseeable future. So I got a dockerized setup up and running in a test environment and am pleased with the results except for now I have to start thinking about migration from Sympa to MM3. The API is useful in this effort as there are python wrappers already done and I didn't have any trouble scripting list creation with the API tools to migrate list owners, moderators and users. Now for the question/hard part. Migrating list archives. In Sympa the list archive is just a maildir format directory structure reflecting month/year. In MM3 the Archive is stored in the db with attributes that are likely only available as the message is processed. I'd really rather not loose the archive data if I can help it. Does anyone have any thoughts on how I could perhaps import this?

Advice on migrating to Mailman 3
by Christoph Groth 20 Feb '20

20 Feb '20

Dear Mailman 3 users, Currently we are hosting the website [1] and mailing list [2] of our free software project with a shared hosting plan of a webhosting company. As such there is no dedicated server, but we do have SSH access (as a regular user) to the shared server. The mailing list software (Mailman 2) is administrated separately by our hoster on a dedicated machine. We are rather happy with this setup: we pay about 10 USD per month and have only little administration work to do. The only problem is that our list runs on Mailman 2. We would like to move to Mailman 3, but this does not seem to be that simple. Perhaps someone here would be so kind to give us advice? The number of (shared) hosters who offer Mailman 3 seems to be very limited [3]. Would it be a good idea to book a virtual private server (VPS) somewhere, that runs, say, Debian, and simply install Mailman 3 through the distribution’s package system? I’m already running a small personal box with nginx on it, and this is very little work, but running Mailman would require sending out up to a few thousand email messages per day (our list has a few hundred subscribers). Is this something that one is commonly allowed to do on a VPS system? Most VPS offers that I see are silent about mail. If we setup such a system, can we assume that it will silently operate without causing much administration work most of the time (like my nginx server)? Or is maintaining a Mailman 3 server a significant burden ([2] seems to imply that)? If yes, are you aware of organizations that propose Mailman 3 hosting for open source projects? Python.org seems to host some lists for third party projects, but otherwise I haven’t seen much. Thanks Christoph [1] https://kwant-project.org/ [2] https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/kwant-discuss [3] https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/…

Email verification
by Allan Hansen 19 Feb '20

19 Feb '20

Some members cannot get past the email verification when they create their accounts. They insist that they have looked in their spam folders. Their email addresses they entered are correct - the are able to log into their accounts with the right email address. But they get the message saying that a confirmation message was sent and if they don’s see it to contact us. 1. Who is ‘us’? My members are asking... 2. How do I help them? I tried subscribing them to a bogus list with pre-verified email, but that did not work, so both they and I are stuck. Tried finding help in archive, but did not see anything. Yours, Allan Hansen hansen(a)rc.org

Installing MM3 via pip fails…
by Patrick Ben Koetter 18 Feb '20

18 Feb '20

Has anyone managed to install MM3 recently using pip on Ubuntu 18? I followed the instructions at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#virtualenv-inst…. As soon as I get to the Django part things get hairy. It seems Django requires something that was removed from it. Any ideas or experience how I can get around that? p@rick -- [*] sys4 AG https://sys4.de, +49 (89) 30 90 46 64 Schleißheimer Straße 26/MG,80333 München Sitz der Gesellschaft: München, Amtsgericht München: HRB 199263 Vorstand: Patrick Ben Koetter, Marc Schiffbauer, Wolfgang Stief Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Florian Kirstein

Random characters in "The results of your email commands" e-mail
by Jeffrey D 18 Feb '20

18 Feb '20

Hi, Today I sending an e-mail to "mylist-request(a)domain.tld" with the subject "help" and I received the expected e-mail with the following content; confirm - Confirm a subscription request. echo - Echo back your arguments. end - Stop processing commands. help - Get help about available email commands. join - Join this mailing list. leave - Leave this mailing list. stop - An alias for 'end'. subscribe - An alias for 'join'. unsubscribe - An alias for 'leave'. No such command: -- No such command: vriendelijke Only I think my mail signature broke something in Mailman (see the No such command). Because every e-mail with a subject like "help", "stop" or "join", gives a reply with random characters. The Mailman logs doesn't show any error, so I'm not sure what is wrong. Deleting the mailinglist and create a new one won't fix the issue, also restarting Mailman doesn't help. An example of the random characters: Nzzf&ju[zZ0:v,jzkb^}nJyazZCj}{m5t5Cx<{iysG5o[w}jgn+g[lrwf*mzrLk)rjwliazZZnjyW(fvrh{aXXWj+&j)b b-'jX+zwl&v{rx &~y6.r(fu4:' Is this a bug in Mailman? Or something in my Mailman config...
