mailman 3.x upgrade and downgrade
by skooperit＠gmail.com July 12, 2022

July 12, 2022

Hi all, I have a few contradictory questions. 1. How to upgrade the 3.x version? 2. Is it possible to migrate (downgrade) the lists from mailman 3.x to 2.1? 3. If so, what would be the best way to do that? My mailing list server is running on a CenOS-7x with postgreSQL and the following mailman packages: django-mailman3 1.3.5 mailman 3.3.2 mailman-hyperkitty 1.1.0 mailman-web 0.0.3 mailmanclient 3.3.2 postorius 1.3.3 We have ~200 lists with more than a decade of history. thanks -- Carlos Souza

Mailman 3 stops delivering to a domain after too many bounces
by Julian Kippels July 12, 2022

July 12, 2022

Hi, We have recently upgraded from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3. Since then I have observed many user reports that mails to mailing lists don't reach all members. My suspicion is that there are too many "dead" members on those lists. This was not a problem on Mailman 2, but has become a problem on Mailman 3. It seems to me that for example Mailman 3 sends mails to the first 5 existing member addresses from domain A, then encounters several (20 or so seems to be the threshold) "dead" member addresses from domain A that generate a bounce and then does not even attempt to reach the remaining 800 member adresses from domain A and only sends to members on domain B and domain C. Is there a way to globaly ignore bounces and send out mails to all members of a list, no matter what? Thanks, Julian

Notes about successfuly upgrade from python 3.7 to 3.9
by Guillermo Hernandez (Oldno7) July 12, 2022

July 12, 2022

I've successfuly upgrade servers with mailman3 lists from FreeBSD 12.3 with python 3.7 to FreeBSD 13.1 with python 3.9 After doing the O.S. and all the python related apps upgraded I did the following steps: (note that my mailman3 installation is system-wide, pip drived and apache24/uwsgi served. The user that owns mailman3 is "mailman3" and all the stuff lies in "/usr/local/mailman3") -> su -> cd /usr/local/mailman3 -> pip install --upgrade django-mailman3 mailman mailman-hyperkitty mailmanclient postorius django hyperkitty uwsgi mod-wsgi -> mod_wsgi-express module-config (it returns the path for the apache24 httpd.conf adjustments. I edited it) -> su -m mailman3 -c "python3 manage.py collectstatic" -> su -m mailman3 -c "python3 manage.py migrate" -> su -m mailman3 -c "python3 manage.py compress" -> cd /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ -> cd postorius -> django-admin compilemessages -> cd ../hyperkitty -> django-admin compilemessages -> cd ../django_mailman3 -> django-admin compilemessages I had to edit again /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/mistune/scanner.py and add this two lines (this is a little bit annoying) from mistune.util import escape_html from mistune.util import escape_url And that was all. Restarted the servers and all is going smoothly All of this steps have been documented in this list by Mark & Stephen whom I'm very grateful. P.S.: As I did some upgrades ago, I didn't have to modify settings.py in the Hyperkitty area to add DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD = 'django.db.models.AutoField' But if you come from an old mailman/Hyperkitty version, you'll have to include in it. And the it's same if you are using UWSGI, you have to include in your apache config: WSGIPassAuthorization On -- ___________________________________________ Mailman's content filtering has removed the following MIME parts from this message.

Walk-thru for Ubuntu Bionic Mailman 3 Full setup
by kelly.close＠lrewater.com July 9, 2022

July 9, 2022

I hope this is helpful to the Ubuntu folks out there. Once some critical small things were figured out, turns out it's pretty easy to get Mailman 3 running successfully under Ubuntu 18.04. The linked google doc includes my own walkthru, which includes using a cloud server image for Ubuntu 18.04 and a LAMP setup with Apache 2 and PHP, as well as Python and PostgreSQL, and the mailman3-full package that comes with that Ubuntu distribution. The walk-thru uses Postfix for mail and PostgreSQL for the back end database. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xIcSsoNFp2nHi7r4eQys00s9a0k2sHhu1V5Plan… If you use this and see needed corrections or additions, please let me know! ~Kelly

Sorry to repeat a question, but how do I permanently delete messages, again?
by William Oliver July 8, 2022

July 8, 2022

I askled this question some months ago, but for the life of me cannot find the response (though there is one). I want to purge some specific emails from the list archives. A user posted what he thought was a personal message to the list, and is embarrased by it, so I told him I couldn't delete emails that were already downloaded onto client machines, but I can delete it so that new users won't be able to see it. But... I can't figure out how to do it. I asked this once before, some months ago, and as I remember there is a command line way of doing it, but not a GUI way. But i can't remember what it was. Thanks! billo

Problem migrating from Ubuntu packaged Mailman to Virtualenv, including Hyperkitty
by tim＠thecutts.org July 7, 2022

July 7, 2022

Hi everyone, As we all know, mailman3 got dropped from Ubuntu 22. So I updated the operating system anyway, and decided to switch to a virtualenv setup, keeping the old Debian/Ubuntu database and log locations etc. With some lumps and bumps, this has gone OK; the web interface appears to be working, and I can use the mailman CLI to manipulate the lists. So far so good. However, there do seem to be two problems, which might be linked: 1. If I send a message to my test list, it does not get sent on to any members. I can see the lmtp delivery to mailman. But nothing comes out again. I can see the two test messages in the “shunt” directory 2. Trying to look in the archives for my mailing lists does not work. On the web, I get "An error occurred while processing your request.”, and the log file seems to show a schema error in the hyper kitty table: ERROR 2022-07-07 13:18:41,634 116894 django.request Internal Server Error: /mailman3/archives/list/fairhaven-members(a)thecutts.org/ Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/db/backends/utils.py", line 86, in _execute return self.cursor.execute(sql, params) psycopg2.errors.UndefinedColumn: column hyperkitty_mailinglist.archive_rendering_mode does not exist LINE 1: ...e_policy", "hyperkitty_mailinglist"."created_at", "hyperkitt... ^ Do I need to run a database migration manually? If so, how? I’m not very familiar with Django, it seems a bit hideously complex to me. Are these issues likely to be related, or do I have two things going on here? Regards Tim

Problem with database change sqlite -> mysql
by moritz both July 7, 2022

July 7, 2022

Greetings, I am totally new to this list and relatively new to mailman3 and came here because I have a problem I would like to solve soon. I hope somebody has a clue: I am running a really small list site with 10 or so lists, all of them have low traffic and no more than ~70 members. The lists are running on a shared server at uberspace. I followed their guide at https://lab.uberspace.de/guide_mailman-3/ Mailman Core Version GNU Mailman 3.3.5 (Tom Sawyer) Mailman Core API Version 3.1 Mailman Core Python Version 3.8.13 (default, May 19 2022, 15:06:19) [GCC 9.3.1 20200408 (Red Hat 9.3.1-2)] Since my migration from mm2 to mm3 I see what I consider high loads and excessive i/o and memory usage. My guess is that the main problem is the database backend for mailman, posterious and hyperkitty, which is sqlite. The database is >200MB at the moment (I have not found out why it is so huge, I tried to delete the hyperkitty archives from there and no longer archive messages, but maybe I have not managed to delete all). I take any recommandation for this situation. My current idea is changing the database backend to something else, i.e. mysql. I tried to follow this guide https://www.rockandnull.com/django-dumpdata/ but the "loaddata" command fails. The stack trace is below. Unfortunatelly, I have close to no knowledge of django and don't know why the Email matching query not exists. Will postgres make things easier? Thanks in advance for any help. Moritz Here is the stacktrace: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/db/models/fields/related_descriptors.py", line 173, in __get__ rel_obj = self.field.get_cached_value(instance) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/db/models/fields/mixins.py", line 15, in get_cached_value return instance._state.fields_cache[cache_name] KeyError: 'starting_email' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 10, in <module> execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 419, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 413, in execute self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 354, in run_from_argv self.execute(*args, **cmd_options) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 398, in execute output = self.handle(*args, **options) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/management/commands/loaddata.py", line 78, in handle self.loaddata(fixture_labels) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/management/commands/loaddata.py", line 123, in loaddata self.load_label(fixture_label) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/management/commands/loaddata.py", line 190, in load_label obj.save(using=self.using) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/serializers/base.py", line 223, in save models.Model.save_base(self.object, using=using, raw=True, **kwargs) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/db/models/base.py", line 763, in save_base pre_save.send( File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/dispatch/dispatcher.py", line 180, in send return [ File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/dispatch/dispatcher.py", line 181, in <listcomp> (receiver, receiver(signal=self, sender=sender, **named)) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/hyperkitty/signals.py", line 96, in Thread_on_pre_save kwargs["instance"].on_pre_save() File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/hyperkitty/models/thread.py", line 157, in on_pre_save self.find_starting_email() File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/hyperkitty/models/thread.py", line 149, in find_starting_email if self.starting_email is not None: File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/db/models/fields/related_descriptors.py", line 187, in __get__ rel_obj = self.get_object(instance) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/db/models/fields/related_descriptors.py", line 307, in get_object return super().get_object(instance) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/db/models/fields/related_descriptors.py", line 154, in get_object return qs.get(self.field.get_reverse_related_filter(instance)) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/db/models/query.py", line 435, in get raise self.model.DoesNotExist( hyperkitty.models.email.DoesNotExist: Problem installing fixture '/home/daneben/mailman-suite/datadump.json': Email matching query does not exist.

mailman3 suddenly stopped working after routine package upgrade with "apt update" and "apt upgrade".
by gordon＠dickens.com July 5, 2022

July 5, 2022

My mailman3 installation is installed in Debian using the Mailman Suite's Virtualenv (venv) instructions (not the Debian mailman3 packages) and has been working great for several months until I recently executed a routine package upgrade with "apt update" and "apt upgrade" after which the mailman3 service quit working with the following error dialog in response to "systemctl start mailman3" # systemctl start mailman3 Job for mailman3.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mailman3.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. root@slc:/opt/mailman/venv/bin# systemctl status mailman3 ● mailman3.service - GNU Mailing List Manager Loaded: loaded (/etc/mailman3/mailman3.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2022-07-05 10:31:55 EDT; 4s ago Process: 3011826 ExecStart=/opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman start (code=exited, status=2) CPU: 822ms Jul 05 10:31:54 slc.mailhub4u.com systemd[1]: Starting GNU Mailing List Manager...

Does anyone see any potential problems with any of the packages that were upgraded? The logfile, /var/log/syslog, has the following lines immediately after the "systemctl start mailman3" command was executed: Jul 5 11:07:41 slc mailman[3030034]: Usage: mailman start [OPTIONS] Jul 5 11:07:41 slc mailman[3030034]: Try 'mailman start -h' for help.

As an FYI, I have attempted to start the service using --force, however, it made no difference. BTW, I don't know if this is significant or not but the following error message (or similar message) is displayed often in the logs: slc mariadbd[859]: 2022-07-05 11:07:41 1744540 [Warning] Aborted connection 1744540 to db: 'mailman3' user: 'mailman' host: 'localhost' (Got an error reading communication packets) In any event, does anyone see any other potential causes for why the mailman3 service will not run? Thanks very much! Gordon

Monthly mailman-web job using a lot of memory
by Andy Smith July 4, 2022

July 4, 2022

Hi, Is it normal for the monthly job: @monthly www-data [ -f /usr/bin/django-admin ] && flock -n /var/run/mailman3-web/cron.monthly /usr/share/mailman3-web/manage.py runjobs monthly to use nearly 3½GiB of memory? PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 770203 www-data 20 0 4516756 3.4g 1.6g R 99.7 43.5 12:08.00 python3 /usr/share/mailman3-web/manage.py runjo+ I assume it's updating the full text indexes or something. There are around 250k messages in our archives. In the job list I see: appname - jobname - when - help -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hyperkitty - update_and_clean_index - monthly - Update the full-text index and clean old entries so I'm guessing it's that, but there is also: hyperkitty - update_index - hourly - Update the full-text index which hasn't been noitceably a problem so I wonder why the "and clean old entries" bit is so much more heavyweight, what exactly it dopes and if there's any way to make it lighter on resources? Thanks, Andy

Emails about moderation are sent to list owners, want them sent to moderators instead
by Elias Rudberg July 2, 2022

July 2, 2022

Hello, This is about GNU Mailman 3.3.3 (Tom Sawyer). For each list there are both "owners" and "moderators". As I understand it, the idea is that owners have the power to change configuration for the list, while moderators have more limited power, they can only moderate but not change configuration. When an email is sent from a non-member to a list that requires moderation in such a case, an email with subject like "[listname] post from [sender] requires approval" is sent to the list owners. I would like those emails to be sent to moderators instead. The reason why I want it to work that way is that list owners sometimes want to delegate the work of moderating to the moderators. List owners then want to keep the power to change list configuration, but they do not want to be bothered by individual moderation emails. Is there a way to configure mailman3 to make it send moderation emails to moderators instead of owners? Or, have I misunderstood the purpose of "owners" and "moderators"? If so, I would be grateful if someone could explain. / Elias

uwsgi memory usage
by peter＠chubb.wattle.id.au June 29, 2022

June 29, 2022

Hi Folks, I think there's a memory leak somewhere in the system. Over time, on a relatively small set of lists, I see the uwsgi process grow and grow until the system OOMs. I'm using the Debian packaged mailman3 suite, on the Unstable distribution. This is version 3.3.3. I've reported the bug to the Debian maintainers (who are overloaded...), but was wondering if others had seen this issue. Is it a Debian issue, a local config issue, or a general problem? Peter C

Hyperkitty failure "Forbidden" - Please check IP-Address assigned to MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_FROM in the settings file
by christopher.claus＠tgcamberg1848.de June 29, 2022

June 29, 2022

Hi together, i noticed an error during upgrade, which i did not noticed before, but i see no relation to the upgrade itself. Nevertheless the message is very clear, i am not able to solve this issue. My problem ist, that hyperkitty is not working. In mailman.log, you can see this message: Jun 29 13:38:25 2022 (28) ACCEPT: <006501d88bac$b21201f0$163605d0$@mydomain> Jun 29 13:38:28 2022 (32) HyperKitty failure on https://mydomain/hyperkitty/api/mailman/urls: <html><title>Forbidden</title><body> <h1>Access is forbidden</h1><p>Please check the IP addresses assigned to MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_FROM in the settings file. </p></body></html> (403) I´m using setting_local.py in web-part with following code: # Try to get the address of Mailman Core automatically. MAILMAN_HOST_IP = gethostbyname('mailman-core') MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_FROM = (os.environ.get('MAILMAN_HOST_IP', gethostbyname(os.environ.get('MAILMAN_HOSTNAME', 'mailman-core'))),) Debugging inside my docker-container, this python-code works fine (hostname etc. are correct): bash-5.0# python3 test.py MAILMAN_HOST_IP 172.18.0.4 MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_FROM ('172.18.0.4',) bash-5.0# I also tried to set MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_FROM directly to the IP not using the list, but there was no change. I think, the problem is located at another place and the error-message took me to the wrong place. Does anybody has an idea where to look at? Best regards, chrclaus

Hello together, at startup of my docker-container with mailman 0.4.3 i got some warnings to apply some data-model-migrations.

What's the difference between (purpose of) reject and ignore
by denis.bitouze＠univ-littoral.fr June 27, 2022

June 27, 2022

Hi, at a page of the form .../postorius/lists/mylist/held_messages, it is possible to: - Accept - Reject - Ignore messages to be moderated. I didn't find any documentation about the difference between (the purpose of) “Reject” and “Ignore”. Since the list I'm currently moderating suffers from a lot of spammers, I wonder if there is a way to at the same time: - remove the spam from the moderation list (“Reject”? “Ignore”?), - add the emails from the removed spams to the list of banished emails (since copying-pasting each mail to be banished is a pain). Thanks in advance!

Excluding archives from a mailman3web database backup
by Andy Smith June 24, 2022

June 24, 2022

Hi, In doing regular database dumps for backup purposes I note that by far the largest quantity of data is HyperKitty's archives. We already keep external archives using the prototype archiver (and some rotation of Maildirs), because we see value in having a simple archive outside of HyperKitty. So, I'd rather not be backing up this data twice. In event of disaster I'd like to be able to do a maildir2mbox on what prototype has written and re-import the resulting mbox file. Is that a realistic proposal? i.e. does a typical maildir2mbox conversion script generate something that "manage.py hyperkitty_import" would be happy with when run on prototype's maildir? If so, is it safe to just exclude every table starting with "hyperkitty_" from the database backup of mailman3web? Dumping only the schema for these, I mean, so that an import would restore empty tables. Thanks, Andy

Docker images with Hyper kitty 1.1.0
by bob B June 23, 2022

June 23, 2022

Maxking, it looks like the docker images with tags "latest" and more importantly "0.4.2" which I believe is supposed to be the latest version, have mailman-hyperkitty 1.1.0 installed, which does not work with the installed Hyperkitty version, so archiving is broken? is this correct? Any eta on when this will be corrected? it looks like "rolling" has mailman-hyperkitty 1.2.1 but the notes say to consider rolling as beta software. Thanks

Removing the option to delete a list on the Postorious interface
by Wong, Wesley June 14, 2022

June 14, 2022

Hi, I have a question on the Postorious web interface in Mailman 3. I have found that a list owner can delete a list through the Postorious interface if they have the role of owner to the list. I wanted to have it either disabled or removed but I am not sure where to look to make changes to it. I would rather remove it from the interface totally so it would be done from the command line. Any help would be greatly appreciated. wesley Wesley Wong Senior Systems Engineer Anderson Computing & Information Services | ACIS 310-206-2571 [ucla-logo---new_smaller] ___________________________________________ Mailman's content filtering has removed the following MIME parts from this message.

Mailman3 Setup
by George R. Kasica June 11, 2022

June 11, 2022

Hello: I'm in the process of setting up Mailman3 on Ubuntu 20.04. I have the following Environment, and please ask if I left something needed out: Postfix Apache2 MySQL Mailman3 (all 3 bits mailman3, mailman3-web, python-mailman-hyperkitty) The install SEEMS to have worked, but I'm looking for a guide for setup now. I used to run 2.1 about 18 months ago, but the server failed, and I never reinstalled it. I figured now, with a newish Ubuntu 20.04LTS Server, I'd go the mailman3 route...I've seen MANY posts of issues getting MM3 working with 20.04. Should I go back to 2.1, or what is the best way to get mailman-3 configured? Thank you, George Kasica

Turned on archiving and it is not working
by bob B June 9, 2022

June 9, 2022

I normally have archives not enabled on all my lists and I do not even have hyperkitty enabled for them. but I need to turn on archiving for one list and it is not working. I made sure hyper kitty is enabled for the list, and I have private archives enabled. I even restarted my environment (more on that in a moment) and still the list works but nothing gets archived. my mail log shows Jun 09 18:49:10 2022 (28) Exception in the HyperKitty archiver: <html><title>Auth required</title><body> <h1>Authorization Required</h1><p>The archiver key is now File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mailman_hyperkitty/__init__.py", line 154, in _archive_message <h1>Authorization Required</h1><p>The archiver key is now <h1>Authorization Required</h1><p>The archiver key is now I am running in docker: my HYPERKITTY_API_KEY is the same in my docker yaml file for mailman-core & mailman-web (I am using an external database) mailman info GNU Mailman 3.3.5 (Tom Sawyer) Python 3.8.10 (default, May 6 2021, 06:30:44) [GCC 9.3.0] Hyperkitty web interface is working and I can log in so it is up HyperKitty version 1.3.5. This used to work when I initially installed, so not sure why it is broken now. Any thoughts on what to do next?

How can set the WebFront end to English? Kind Christian

Lost in default style creation
by kenneth.karlsson＠eco.cept.org June 2, 2022

June 2, 2022

Hi all I have installed a brandnew server - ubuntu 21.10, mailman3 version 3.3.3 (Tom Sawyer) I want to set some default settings to all new lists, as we are creating them through API from another system, i do this (snipped straight from the shell) : >>> from mailman.interfaces.styles import IStyleManager >>> manager = getUtility(IStyleManager) >>> from zope.interface import implementer >>> from mailman.interfaces.styles import IStyle >>> @implementer(IStyle) ... class EcoStyle: ... name = 'ECOstyle' ... description = 'ECO mailing list style.' ... def apply(self, ml): ... ml.dmarc_mitigate_action = 'munge_from' ... ml.dmarc_mitigate_unconditionally = 'True' ... ml.send_welcome_message = 'True' ... ml.subject_prefix = '' ... ml.subscription_policy = 'moderate' ... ml.max_message_size = '0' ... >>> manager.register(EcoStyle()) >>> commit() No error all seem good, i then do this to confirm the style is there: >>> from zope.component import getUtility >>> from mailman.interfaces.styles import IStyleManager >>> manager = getUtility(IStyleManager) >>> >>> for style in manager.styles: ... print(style.name) ... ECOstyle legacy-announce legacy-default private-default It shows me its there, then i proceed to quit() and go back in to the shell, and do this: >>> quit() ecoadmin@list01:/etc/mailman3$ sudo mailman shell Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell >>> from zope.component import getUtility >>> from mailman.interfaces.styles import IStyleManager >>> manager = getUtility(IStyleManager) >>> >>> for style in manager.styles: ... print(style.name) ... legacy-announce legacy-default private-default >>> and now my newly created style is gone again ? What am i missing here ? Kind regards Kenneth Karlsson

use_https not being honored?

June 1, 2022

Using Mailman core 3.3.5, and Mailman API 3.1, I have use_https: yes set in my mailman.cfg so that I can use https for calls to the API, however even in mailman.log, it still says it is using http: [2022-06-01 09:35:54 -0500] [959009] [INFO] Starting gunicorn 20.1.0 [2022-06-01 09:35:54 -0500] [959009] [INFO] Listening at: http://hostname:8001 (959009) GET and POST requests work fine if I use http, but fail when trying to use https. I have a certificate being used by our Mailman installation, so is there some additional config not mentioned in the docs to enable use of the API over https? I've only recently started using Mailman so if there are additional logs or system information I need to help with this?

Trouble in Debian11 after import mailman2 archive
by qro＠xs4all.nl May 25, 2022

May 25, 2022

Hi I am struggling with Mainman3 to get it running on Debian11 On a clean VPS I have up and running Apache, mysql and postfix Also the installation mailman3 went fine for the mailman3-full package Then I setup mailman3-web via dpkg-reconfigure mailman3-web, modify in mailman-hyperkitty.cfg MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_KEY. In mailman.config add the [archiver.hyperkitty] things At this point I made a clone for the VPS.

How to authorise members visibility?
by Pierre Malard May 25, 2022

May 25, 2022

Hello, My setup: - Debian 11 - Mailman3-full v 3.3.3-1 My Question: How to configure the visibility of a list of subscribers to a list? I created a list and set "subscriber visibility" to subscribers only. When I log in as such and try to view the list information, I can't see anywhere how to display that list. It's the same regardless of the setting used for this "subscriber visibility" field (only moderators, only subscribers or anyone). Is this normal? Is there something I misunderstood?

How to stop minutely mails about readme_renderer

May 22, 2022

Hi all, after fixing an exim issue (now getting cron messages), I’m spammed by these e-mails: - - - /usr/local/py_venv/mailman_33/lib/python3.9/site-packages/readme_renderer/markdown.py:44: UserWarning: Markdown renderers are not available. Install 'readme_renderer[md]' to enable Markdown rendering. warnings.warn(_EXTRA_WARNING) - - - I installed cmarkgfm 0.8.0 in my venv, but this did not help. Besides patching the source, what is the recommended solution for this? Thanks, Axel --- PGP-Key: CDE74120 ☀ computing @ chaos claudius

Importing users and mas settings "Moderation Action"
by bob B May 20, 2022

May 20, 2022

I imported email lists and users to version 3 from version 2. One of my lists all the users are set to 'Hold for moderation" for "Moderation Action". I assume this is because they were set to moderation on mailman 2? But if I mass subscribe users via the Gui in mailman 3 then their default "Moderation Action" is set to "none" so I assume it follows list default, is that a correct assumption? I believe there is no way to import mass users and set their "Moderation Action" at the same time is this correct? Wasn't that possible in mailman 2? is there a way to change all their user's "Moderation Action" for a list in bulk? So it looks like for any users I mass subscribe, "Moderation Action" will be set to "none" and if I want to change that I have to do it manually for each user?

by Stefan Bauer May 17, 2022

May 17, 2022

Dear mailman-experts, we're running Mailman Core Version 3.3.5 Mailman Core API Version 3.1 Mailman Core Python Version 3.10.4 on Ubuntu 22 with a python venv. Until now, I modified several files manually to adjust mailmans behavior and have to check several boxes when new lists are created. Is this still the only way to go or are there ways i can make all this more update "save" and kind of default settings? a, I removed content of /opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/mailman/templates/de/list:member:generic:footer.txt b, I set ... in /opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/mailman/styles/base.py mlist.default_member_action = Action.discard mlist.default_nonmember_action = Action.discard mlist.subscription_policy = SubscriptionPolicy.moderate mlist.send_welcome_message = False mlist.archive_policy = ArchivePolicy.never c, I always have to check the follwing manually in mailman web-interface on new lists: Settings-->List Idendity -> remove Subject Prefix Settings-->Message Acceptance -> accept immediately DMARC-Mitigation -> replace from ... unconditionally YES Thank you.

Dear Users, we are very happy mailman3-users but suffer from very old packages in Ubuntu 18LTS.

Can login at /admin, but cannot login at the account/login page.
by pabsta＠gmail.com May 11, 2022

May 11, 2022

Hi All, thanks for your contibution to opensource softwares. I have done the installation walkthrough on the wiki page (thanks to Brian Carpenter) and I am almost there. I can run the three services and they provide the relevant web interfaces (admin, postorius, hyperkitty). In comparison to the walkthrough, I did two changes; First, I used different port numbers , as it would otherwise conflict with other services on the server. Second, I disabled the social accounts authentification mechanisms. I am still running on sqllite, as I am still testing things (one task at a time). Using my "superuser" credentials, I can log to the admin section in a fraction of a second. The server response time is less than one second. Once logged in, I can navigate through all the site as an authenticated user, including in the postorius pages related to list management. The services work normally. However, if logout and attempt to login from the postorius website, I get a « 502 bad gateway » error after roughly 30 seconds. The logs in Systemctl for gunicorn register a "DIGEST-MD5 common mech free" error message and the nginx error logs just show a connection drop: 2021/08/12 18:11:09 [error] 26026#26026: *31 upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream, client: [ip redacted], server: [domain redacted], request: "POST /accounts/login/ HTTP/2.0", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:8006/accounts/login/", host: "[domain redacted]", referrer: "https://[domain redacted]/accounts/login/?next=/mailman3/lists/" Two additional clues may help understanding what is going on: 1- If I attempt to login with improper credentials, the services respond normally, and I get the expected red box with "invalid credentials" message on the postorius page. It is only when proper credentials are given that the connection fails. 2- If I attempt to register a new email adress, the services also fail to respond (although with no DIGEST-MD5 message registered). It thus seems to be a post "POST" problem, but what puzzles me is that it is not an issue for the admin page. Below the relevant sections of my settings.py page. The skipped ([...]) sections are as in the walkthrough files. In particular, the AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS, the EMAIL_BACKEND are as is and the "USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST" is still commented. ##Settings.py [...] # SECURITY WARNING: keep the secret key used in production secret!

How can I remove anything added by Mailman 3 to the forwarded email
by gscaglia＠ksdata.it May 9, 2022

May 9, 2022

I need to use Mailman 3 exclusively for forwarding emails to my customers divided by type. The emails must arrive exactly as they are, without any additions, and the lists are managed only by me: the customer ignores that he is subscribed to a list and receives the message as if it were one to one. How can I remove anything added by Mailman 3 to the forwarded message, therefore also the links for managing my membership (unsubscribe and modify)? Thanks a lot, Luca

Pb with archive display

Hello, We have a fully installed mailman3 on our Debian 11 (mailman3-full 3.3.3-1).

Spam in Hyperkitty archive
by Eggert Ehmke May 4, 2022

May 4, 2022

I have my mail server set up with spamassassin/amavis that seems to work reasonable. One particular mailing list is open for non-members, so spam is to be expected. However, even spam to this mailing list that is filtered and moved to the quarantine folder, shows up in the archive! How can I set up the spam filter so that does not happen?

add custom styles to postorius list creation menu
by Michael Hazan May 3, 2022

May 3, 2022

Hello, When creating a list via postorius, i can see 3 style appear (announce, discussion, private). Is it possible to either create a new style and add it to that list or modify one of those style ? I’m using the virtual env setup and i have been trying to manipulate via the mailman-web shell but it doesn’t work when adding a new style. I need to delegate list creation to admins and I don’t want them to have to redo every list settings for every list they create when they are the same style. Also, coming from mailman2, you could directly set the members post moderation action when subscribing, now you can only do it via the user menu, is there a way to automate this in mm3 ? Thanks for the help. Michael

Templates do not work
by Eggert Ehmke May 3, 2022

May 3, 2022

I created some templates in Postorius to get personalized notifications when there are moderator requests. The notifications I get seem to be the standard texts. When I look into mailman/ mm/var/templates the directory is empty. Nevertheless, the templates I create in Postorius seem to be stored (where?), they just do not work.

Localization of auto-responses, question marks in welcome message
by Claus-Justus Heine April 25, 2022

April 25, 2022

Hi, I know there are already some posts on this subject. From reading the following seems to be the state of the affair: * the list's language settings determines which localized template to use * the list-_servers_ default setting determines which language to use for the subject (so the subject's language is a "global" server configuration setting). Still, in my Ubuntu Impish Mailman 3.3.3 installation the welcome message is sent with charset us-ascii and contains question marks for any "special" -- i.e. non-ascii -- character. Can this be changed s.t. the welcome message is correctly displayed?

Problems with shunted Mails
by Stephan Krinetzki April 25, 2022

April 25, 2022

Hi all, we currently have a problem sending to an email list. The mailing list is an announcement list and is therefore moderated. The mail also arrives for moderation. However, when the mail is released, it is not delivered, but moved to the shunt queue.

set a new default for max_message_size
by Paul Paulchen April 24, 2022

April 24, 2022

Hi MM Community, I guess Mark can answer this question in a split second. We want another default than 40kb for the max_message_size. I know you can change it with the mailman shell or with postorius. But we want to skip this part an set the default to 4000kb for instance. I read about the max_message_size in this thread from 2020 https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message… According to the answer of Mark you can change the "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/styles/base.py" - mlist.max_message_size. Now time went by, is there a possibility to use the mailman.cfg to set a new default? Cheers and thanks in advance!

How to delete large numbers of held messages
by lists＠g1fef.co.uk April 22, 2022

April 22, 2022

We had a mail loop on one of our lists and ended up with over 51k messages in pending (held due to post not form a list member) Trying to delete them from the web UI will take forever, as the largest pagination you can view is 200 at a time. Tried to delete them from the Python interactive shell, but it looks like the API times out after a while. Is there another way to delete all these unwanted held posts? The problem comes after executing: <block> reqs = list(adminlist.held) </block> After a couple of minutes it comes back with: <block> Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 699, in urlopen httplib_response = self._make_request( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 445, in _make_request six.raise_from(e, None) File "<string>", line 3, in raise_from File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 440, in _make_request httplib_response = conn.getresponse() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/http/client.py", line 1347, in getresponse response.begin() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/http/client.py", line 307, in begin version, status, reason = self._read_status() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/http/client.py", line 276, in _read_status raise RemoteDisconnected("Remote end closed connection without" http.client.RemoteDisconnected: Remote end closed connection without response During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/adapters.py", line 439, in send resp = conn.urlopen( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 755, in urlopen retries = retries.increment( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/util/retry.py", line 532, in increment raise six.reraise(type(error), error, _stacktrace) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/six.py", line 718, in reraise raise value.with_traceback(tb) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 699, in urlopen httplib_response = self._make_request( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 445, in _make_request six.raise_from(e, None) File "<string>", line 3, in raise_from File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 440, in _make_request httplib_response = conn.getresponse() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/http/client.py", line 1347, in getresponse response.begin() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/http/client.py", line 307, in begin version, status, reason = self._read_status() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/http/client.py", line 276, in _read_status raise RemoteDisconnected("Remote end closed connection without" urllib3.exceptions.ProtocolError: ('Connection aborted.', RemoteDisconnected('Remote end closed connection without response')) During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/connection.py", line 107, in call response = request( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/api.py", line 61, in request return session.request(method=method, url=url, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 542, in request resp = self.send(prep, **send_kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 655, in send r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/adapters.py", line 498, in send raise ConnectionError(err, request=request) requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', RemoteDisconnected('Remote end closed connection without response')) During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailmanclient/restobjects/mailinglist.py", line 123, in held response, content = self._connection.call( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/connection.py", line 135, in call raise MailmanConnectionError( mailmanclient.restbase.connection.MailmanConnectionError: ('Could not connect to Mailman API: ', "ConnectionError(ProtocolError('Connection aborted.', RemoteDisconnected('Remote end closed connection without response')))") </block>

Apple Mail encoding again
by David Newman April 22, 2022

April 22, 2022

Starting a new thread because I don't know how to reply to this one from November 2021: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message… A subscriber's post to a list bounced with a 501 bad encoding error. The subscriber uses Apple Mail on MacOS and PGP-signed his message. The earlier post above suggests the problem could be a bug in either Apple Mail encoding or python's smtp module. To rule out the smtp module, I sent a PGP-signed message using a different MUA (Thunderbird, in my case). Mailman3 accepted this post without complaint, and I reported back to list users that this appears to be an Apple Mail encoding issue. Normally, that'd be the end of it. But this is a list for a bunch of Internet graybeards, including one of the authors of the SMTP protocols and the subscriber is a former IETF chair. He's grumbling that if this really were an Apple Mail issue, wouldn't it be far more widespread? I don't think it would be, because (a) Mailman2 is still far more pervasive than Mailman3 and (b) the combination of PGP signing and Apple Mail on MacOS and Mailman3 is still pretty unusual. Has anyone else hit this encoding issue, other than the post above? And did Mailman2 silently accept this because it was less strict about checking for bad encoding? Thanks. dn

About mailing list configuration problem
by liutianhua68＠163.com April 20, 2022

April 20, 2022

Hello: I installed mailman3 through docker, and I created a mailing list for testing, which can subscribe, unsubscribe, receive emails, and send emails normally. Now there are two problems that have not been resolved. I would like to ask: 1. When a user subscribes, how to configure it like "lists.mailman3.org" to send a link to confirm the subscription instead of just replying to the confirmation email. 2. I used the mailling list I created to test the sending and receiving of emails, but I didn't see any historical messages in "Archives",Where is the configuration incorrect? And the url of my mailing list is "https://list.example.org/hyperkitty/list/" instead of "https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/", is this a problem? Also ask about the configuration, where to find the relevant documentation. thank you very much. liutianhua68(a)163.com

Prometheus mailman_exporter
by Ruth Ivimey-Cook April 19, 2022

April 19, 2022

Folks, I have recently been playing with Prometheus metrics, and having now coded a mailman3 Prometheus exporter in python I thought I'd mention here that it exists. It's not fancy and there is more to do. It works using the rest api. Source available at https://github.com/rivimey/mailman3_exporter Metrics exposed: 'mailman_up' (does the API /system/versions return http 200) and 'mailman_queues' (queue lengths for each queue, plus 'status' for the http status code of that query) Suggestions for other metrics would be interesting if accompanied with info on how to extract it. I'm currently contemplating including the number of 'to be moderated' messages. It would be possible to include the number of lists or domains but not sure it's useful enough to be worth the cost of fetching it. It is passed the api auth data separately. It would be better to read it from mm config: is there existing code I can call?

MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_KEY - 401 error
by Torsten R. April 14, 2022

April 14, 2022

Hi together, I just updated one of my servers to Debian 11 and that also introduced mailman3 to the system as I was running mailman 2.1 for years before on that server. It took me a while to configure everything but I am convinced that I now have everything done properly. I am able to access the web interface of mailman3 (postorius) and also the archive (hyperkitty). I configured exim to deal with messages send to the lists. But when I try to send a message (as a member of a list) to a list I always get a 401 in mailman.log and the message that I should check if I provided MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_KEY and if it is correct. So far, I can say that the key is the same in mailman-web.py (with single quotes) and mailman-hyperkitty.cfg (without quotes). in mailman-web.py I have: MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_KEY = 'somesecretkeywithlotsofcharacters' and in mailman-hyperkitty I have this: api_key: somesecretkeywithlotsofcharacters I have some messages in $var_dir/archives/hyperkitty/spool but mailman qfile <messagefile> doesn't show anything that would catch my eye. So, maybe I need another pair of eyes that could take a look at my configs or someone that is turning me in the right direction and might give some hints where to look and what to check. Thanks, Torsten

Lessons learned and a couple little gotcha for newbies
by William Oliver April 13, 2022

April 13, 2022

I just finished, with great help from Mark Sapiro on the list, a new installation of mailman3. I used the instructions at https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/insta… and https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html There were a couple of gotchas that I didn't see well documented. 1) I got the error django.template.library.InvalidTemplateLibrary: Invalid template library specified. ImportError raised when trying to load 'hyperkitty.templatetags.decorate': cannot import name 'escape_html' from 'mistune.scanner' (/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.9/site- packages/mistune/scanner.py) when I ran 'mailman-web migrate' The fix was trivial: I just added the lines: from mistune.util import escape_html from mistune.util import escape_url to /opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/mistune/scanner.py It's not hard to search for those definitions, but if someone doesn't know a smattering of python, it might not be obvious. 2) Similarly, migrate (using postgres) also gave the error: File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.9/site- packages/django/db/backends/postgresql/utils.py", line 6, in utc_tzinfo_factory raise AssertionError("database connection isn't set to UTC") I was able to find a discusson of this one at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68024060/assertionerror-database-connec… which had me downgrade to an older version of psycopg2-binary: pip install psycopg2-binary==2.8.6 There might be a different fix, but this worked. 3) When I ran the test "uwsgi --ini /etc/mailman3/uwsgi.ini" I got the error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'settings' This was also trivially fixed by adding the path: export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/etc/mailman3 in /opt/mailman/.bashrc 4) Sometimes when I rebooted the machine, when I ran 'systemctl start mailman3' I'd get the error that mailman wouldn't start because the lock was stll there. I never could figure out where the lock was, so I worked around it by replacing ExecStart=/opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman start with ExecStart=/opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman start --force in /etc/systemd/system/mailman3.service I'm sure there's something bad about doing that, but it works for me, so far. 5) I had a problem with mail to outside people not being delivered while mail to the local host was delivered. It turned out that this was because in my mailman.cfg I had "smtp_host:my.listserver.tld when it should have been localhost. The error was "relay access denied." To fix this, I had to add my.listserver.tld to "mynetworks" in /etc/postfix/main.cf, ie change: mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 10.0.0.0/24 to mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 10.0.0.0/24 111.222.333.444 <--- my ip address However, Mark Sapiro (a God) told me this was because I had changed a line in the [mta] section of mailman.cfg. I had changed smtp_host: localhost to smtp_host: mydomain.tld Here's the thing. The reason I did this was because the instructions at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-core.html give this as their model: [mta] incoming: mailman.mta.postfix.LMTP outgoing: mailman.mta.deliver.deliver lmtp_host: mail.example.com lmtp_port: 8024 smtp_host: mail.example.com <---- not localhost smtp_port: 25 The instructions are good, but there are a few places where one size does not fit all, I guess. 6) A second error in delivery to outside addresses resulted in an "Access denied" error. A search on the internet revealed that this had to do with (for me) smtpd_recipient_restrictions in postfix. See, for instance: https://know.mailsbestfriend.com/postfix_error_relay_access_denied_noqueue_… Changing this fixed things. I'm not sure, but I think this shows up mostly with installations that include dovecot. 7) If you are using virtual domains in postfix, you need to use the "unusual postfix configuration" in https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/mta.h… virtual_alias_maps = hash:/path-to-mailman/var/data/postfix_vmap 8) You need to manually set the local virtual host for mailman3. Somehow, I got the impression from the installation instructions that this was done automagically to the default x.mydomain.tld if your domain is mydomain.tld. It doesn't. 9) Follow the instructions verbatim, and follow them in the order provided. I installed postfix and nginx out of order, and it did OK, but once you get into the python virtual environment, it is easy to miss something if you don't do it in order. 10) Jot down lots of notes. This is one of the more complicated installations I've done, mostly because it involved configuring a zillion packages to talk to each other: Postfix, nginx, postorius, hyperkitty, django, and others (I'd never heard of "whoosh" or "sass" for instance). All of these can be unforgiving with configuration errors. The default installation instructions assumed a number of packages I'd never used. I'm an apache/dovecot/mysql kind of person, and I had to switch to nginx/postgres to use the instructions as the written defaults. I'm sure I could have used apache and mysql, but it would mean trying to figure out what didn't work without following the installations verbatim. I'd never even heard of postorius, hyperkitty, or django. So, it was easy to get confused a bit. Taking notes of changes I made was important in being able to back out of disastrous choices. Plus, once I'd installed it on one machine, I sat down and installed it on another machine, and it was very useful to have written down how I fixed an issue when it came up again -- and I didn't remember exactly what I had done. 11) Make multiple sequential backups of configuration files. I went down a couple of paths I shouldn't have gone down. For instance, with the vmap issue, I got it in my head that it was a postfix configuration issue, not a mailman issue. So I kept changing things in postfix. Once I was told that it was in *mailman* I had to set the virtual host, I needed to back out of about 8 tweaks I'd made to main.cf in /etc/postfix. If I hadn't been making main.cf.backup.01, main.cf.backup.02, etc. I would have had to spend another few hours trying to remember what inappropriate changes I had made. This is particularly true for me because I am not a great typist, and when I try to retype something to back out, there's a reasonable chance I'll mistype something and it still won't work. With these backups, I don't have both manually back out of things *and* proof my typing again and again. It's a lot easier to delete backups once things are working than to try to remember what you did late at night after a couple of bourbons. 12) Choose one set of installation instructions and follow it. Don't try to mix instructions from different tutorials unless you really know what you are doing. I didn't. For instance, there's a different set of mailman3 installation instructions at: https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Howto_Install_Mailman3_On_Debian10 It does things a little differently. It's useful to look at that when you are debugging why something's not working, but you can get into some trouble trying to do both installations at the same time -- which I found myself doing when something wasn't working. It didn't help. billo

template head/footer questions.
by bob B April 11, 2022

April 11, 2022

I migrated from mailman 2 to mailman3 and had head/footer questions. In the mailman 3 GUI see the templates section, so where do those files get edited/stored? I added a footer to a list via the GUI, but I do not see it in: /var/templates/lists/[listNAME]/en I see some directories corresponding to list names in /var/templates/lists/ But I do not have a directory for all my lists and for the footer one I just added. Bottom line, I assume I should not edit or create any files in /var/templates/lists/ and just use the GUI? is this directory leftover from migrating from mailman 2 to 3? I have a list admin who has made some head and footer files and wants me to put them in /var/templates/lists/[listNAME]/en/.... but I think that may not be the best option.

out queue backlog and delivery rate
by dancab＠caltech.edu April 11, 2022

April 11, 2022

We experienced an issue where our upstream mail protection gateway had an issue for a few hours. As a result out Mailman system was inundated with hundreds of messages within half an hour. Mail delivery is continuing at a snails pace and it is now 4 hours behind. I noticed that the system isn't overloaded either via CPU or Memory. It's just slowly "working on it". Are there rate limits that can be tuned for Mailman queues such as the "out" queue? Could this be IO related somehow? I'd expect there to be a CPU spike in that case. Please advise. Thanks in advance. ---- Dan Caballero Systems Administrator Academic Computing Solutions IMSS - Caltech https://imss.caltech.edu Is there anyway to

Looking for equivalent functions from mailman2
by Julian Kippels April 6, 2022

April 6, 2022

Hi, I am currently in the process of converting all lists from our mailman2 instance to mailman3 lists. In the process I found that some of the mm2-commands that I have come to rely on are no longer available for mm3. For example, how could I get an equivalent output to what "list_owners -w" would have given me on mm2? The same goes for the old "list_members"-command. Thanks in advance Julian Kippels

Active archivers and archiving and thread question.
by bob B March 31, 2022

March 31, 2022

Digging into the mailman3 world, and want to check my logic... We normally don't use archives, so I have "archive policy" set to "Do not archive this list" for our lists. However, the "archives" button is still there on the list info page, and if users go into it, they don't see anything, But they can click "start a new thread" which sends a message to the list, but since archiving is turned off, that message does not show up there. Am I understanding that correctly? if I have "Active archivers" disabled, that hides that area from the users, correct? Any reason why these are separated? why have an active archiver, if archiving is turned off -OR- archives are turned on, but no active archiver?

Problem with redirection when entering alias without a / at the end
by Jens Günther March 31, 2022

March 31, 2022

Hey there, I'm using Apache2 as the webserver, configured https://mailman.xyz.de as Web host. When I want to get to Mailman Starting Page now I need to Enter the following URL: https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman3/ to be directly redirected as expected to https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman3/postorius/lists/ -> works. Problem: When leave out the slash at the end and I ONLY enter the following URL: https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman3 -> then I'm wrongly redirected to a page, taht does not exist: https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman/postorius/lists/ -> 404 Where can I change this misbehaviour? In Apache-conf everything seems as it'S in the docs, for the vHost I do not have any other custom settings. Thank you in advance. By the way: Is there an easy way to redirect directly from https://mailman.xyz.de to https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman3/postorius/lists/ -> what would be a possibility for that?

Mails are stuck in Mailman Pipeline Queue
by Shashikanth Komandoor March 30, 2022

March 30, 2022

Hi Team, I am currently running Mailman 3 with version 3.3.1 and in-built postfix version 2.10.1-6 on RHEL 7.5 with PostgreSQL 11.7 version with default values. I am almost running 2000 lists with 64 GB RAM and 8 Cores on a single VM and on which all the mailman 3 components are running. I have been running this setup in production for the past 2 years and 6 months. I have been seeing a special scenario suddenly: most of the mails that are sent to this server are going to the pipeline queue and not getting released from there. No configuration changes are done and I'm not sure why the mails are getting stuck there. I have recreated the list but no luck. Could not identify the root cause. Please help in this regard. -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936

changing default preferred language of list
by Paul Paulchen March 29, 2022

March 29, 2022

Hi MM community, need a little advise. We're running mailman in a Docker Container (maxking) Mailman Core Version GNU Mailman 3.3.5 (Tom Sawyer) Mailman Core API Version 3.1 Mailman Core Python Version 3.8.10 (default, May 6 2021, 06:30:44) [GCC 9.3.0] As far as I understood, it should be pretty easy. My wish: every new list we create has a default value for the preferred language: de (instead of us) Like described here: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message… We put the values in: [mailman] default_language: de "/etc/mailman.cfg" and "/opt/mailman/mailman-extra.cfg" Nothing changes. When I create a new list via Postorius, is see the preferred language is US. Am I missing something? Is the default always US? And I have to change it manually? Cheers in advance! Paul

Docker-Setup: example.com in test mails
by Bjoern Franke March 29, 2022

Hi, we are running a docker setup with mailman-web and mailman-core. To our confusion, test mails testing for bounces are sent from example.com From: Mailman <mailman(a)example.com> To: Mailman Bounces <mailman-bounces(a)example.com> instead of the list domain and are therefore often considered as spam. The list domain should be lists.ffnw.de. Did I miss some setting? Best Regards Bjoern

users leaking across virtual hosts
by Stanisław Findeisen March 25, 2022

March 25, 2022

Hi We are hosting several virtual hosts (mail host : web host is a 1:1 mapping with identical names), works fine, but it looks user accounts are somehow global, i.e. registering a new user in a new virtual host doesn't work if the user name or e-mail address are already in use in another virtual host. This happens on the Hyperkitty sign-up page: /accounts/signup/ , with the errors being "A user is already registered with this e-mail address." and "A user with that username already exists.". I am assuming this is a well-known limitation, which would require a serious internal redesign to fix; correct? I was able to successfully login in the browser to a vhost using my user credentials from the original vhost (the one where the account was created) (the password was not auto-filled, of course, because of a different domain name). But how safe is this? How about subscribing to lists, posting etc.? Is this going to mess things up somehow? Thanks Stanisław

duplicate SITE_IDs and broken /postorius/lists/ display; Mailman Client
by Stanisław Findeisen March 25, 2022

March 25, 2022

Hi I am having 4 different virtual domains (FILTER_VHOST = True). However on the domain list page in Postorius: https://.../postorius/domains/ I can see only 3 different SITE_IDs: 1,1,4,3. If I recall correctly, the "3" and "4" were created manually using the Postorius Web UI, whereas the two "1"s were created using the Mailman Client: client.create_domain(name) Is this a bug? Or did I mess something up? What significance do those SITE_IDs have? What I also noticed is that in the Postorius Web UI: https://.../postorius/lists/ both "1" domains display the lists contained in "3", whereas both "3" and "4" display correctly their lists. Except the "3", all domains are empty at the moment (no lists) (so "4" correctly displays no lists). Not sure if this is related?...

postorius not displaying mailman logo
by sekamug＠yahoo.com March 23, 2022

March 23, 2022

I successfully installed mailman3 but Postorius doesn't display images on the web interface. I have checked and the files exist at at the location /opt/mailman/web/static/postorius i have checked the logs and they appear as follows: [pid: 366783|app: 0|req: 43/104] () {34 vars in 687 bytes} [Tue Mar 22 09:36:30 2022] GET /static/postorius/js/script.js => generated 5280 bytes in 43 msecs (HTTP/1.1 404) 6 headers in 197 bytes (1 switches on core 0) [pid: 366783|app: 0|req: 44/105] () {34 vars in 715 bytes} [Tue Mar 22 09:36:30 2022] GET /static/postorius/img/favicon.ico => generated 5280 bytes in 43 msecs (HTTP/1.1 404) 6 headers in 197 bytes (1 switches on core 1) it seems the browser fails to access the directory where the pictures are stored. I have checked and mailman is the owner of that directory. Please advise.

anyway to change/set options for a bunch of users?
by bob B March 23, 2022

March 23, 2022

We just migrated to mailman 3 and one of my admins asked is there a way to change their digest options, when adding a bunch of users via mas subscription? I was looking for an option to say all new users are set to digest, but I can't find it. Also, is there a way to select multiple users in list and change their digest options? I believe could do this in mailman2 but I am trying to figure out if this is possible for the GUI in mailman3?

Special Characters Issue when using Wordpress HTML messages
by ryan.anderson.4＠go.mnstate.edu March 23, 2022

March 23, 2022

Hello, We are having trouble where we are using a WordPress server send messages our to a few of our lists as HTML embedded messages. We do not want the messages to be shown as Plaintext, so we have that setting turned off in WordPress and in all our lists' settings. The messages come through just fine, but several characters are being changed to "?". Some of these include ` and - . We recently upgraded from 2.1 to 3.3 and we love the new system, other than the fact that our news messages are looking bad because of all the "?" in them. The charset was set to US-ASCII, but I have changed it to UTF-8 and that has not seemed to do anything. Any ideas on how we can prevent these characters from being changed?

ARC
by David Krantz March 20, 2022

March 20, 2022

Hi all, Is the documentation correct that ARC should be as simple to configure in mailman 3 as to add the private DKIM key and restarting mailman? (https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/handlers/docs/arc_sign…) I've tried that without finding any effect in my so far limited tests. I have not found anything in logs although I might have missed looking in one. Are there any known limitations? I have previously a working DKIM signature on outgoing mail as well as correctly set up SPF in DNS and SPF-checking on received mail. The verification on incoming mail adds a few headers but I do not think that that should be an issue, neither would the DKIM signing change anything should mailman add new headers. I now run Mailman 3.2.3 (La Villa Strangiato) on Python 3.7.4. Cheers // David

Dealing with email bounces from web signups
by Andrew Hodgson March 18, 2022

March 18, 2022

Hi. Back on the topic of bogus web signups again. I am dealing with several hundreds of these per month and we're talking a very low traffic system here. I have a cronjob to remove the users from the database. Right now a concern for me is handling the bounces for the confirmation emails that don't get delivered. These are coming from postorius(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org<mailto:postorius@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> which I have redirected to a mailbox so as not to clutter up the mail queue. What I would ideally like is if we get a bounce from one of these confirmation mails we delete the user from the database but that is probably a future request. We don't get too many of these, around 20-30 a week. What are other people doing with these messages? Thanks. Andrew.

Hi everyone, we're going to be using a Mailman3 list for the purpose of providing email support. So: * Anyone can post to the list * Agents will reply to the poster to receive support, and the reply must go back to the original poster (the client) and the mailing list for other agents to see * The poster's replies will be sent to the mailing list (so other agents can see) as well as to the agent who initially replied to the initial posting Is there any way to accomplish this? Right now, if the agent replies to the client's email correctly but the client doesn't hit "Reply All" the email is only sent to the agent that initially took the "case" and the other agents aren't aware that there was a response.

How to promote non-members to members?
by Quanah Gibson-Mount March 17, 2022

March 17, 2022

Hello, We have a constant issue with confirmation emails for subscribers getting lost and then the subscriber contacting us because their posts to the list never show up. Is there a way I can, as an administrator, do the confirmation on their behalf or in some other way promote them to being a member from non-member? Regards, Quanah

pending subscriptions lost?
by IEM Network Operation Center (IOhannes m zmölnig) March 15, 2022

March 15, 2022

hi, after mark has helped me at the end of january to find users that were not attached to any mailing list (indicating people who pressed the wrong button when trying tosign up), we sent out a 2nd mass mail to our target audience to ask them to subscribe again. we are now getting feedback from people, who say that they are unable to sign up, with mailman3 telling them: > Subscription request already pending this is somewhat bad as: - at least some of the users (who reported the problem) tried to subscribe 2 months ago (2022-01-04) - if they did not confirm their email back then, i'm pretty sure that this email has been lost by now - my /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg has "pending_request_life: 3d" - i (as administrator) do not see any "pending subscriptions" (the list is setup with a simple "Confirm" subscription policy - i (as administrator) do not find any mention of the user's email address anywhere either in postorious webinterface of the list, nor in the django - in the sql-dump (it's been a while since i worked with postgres on a higher level) i do see the user's email in the workflowstate, address and pendedkeyvalue tables. the installation is (still) mailman_3.2.1-1 on a Debian/buster system (using the Debian/buster packages for mailman3) i wonder: - why are the pending subscriptions not expired? (i guess they should have expired after 3 days) - why can't people re-subscribe while there's a subscription pending (e.g. if the confirmation mail got lost)? - how can i list all pending subscriptions (for a given mailinglist)? - how can i resolve the situtation (e.g. send out another reminder; manually expire the pendings; manually confirm the pendings,...) gfmdsd IOhannes

hyperkitty url not found
by Eggert Ehmke March 15, 2022

March 15, 2022

I installed mailman3 in a virtualenv following this guide: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html[1] The mailinglists work very good. However, I did not manage to set up hyperkitty archiving. Archiving is enabled in mailman.cfg. I can call the Archive site from my configuration page, but it is empty. In my /opt/mailman/mm/var/logs/mailman.log file I find error messages like: HyperKitty failure on http://localhost/mailman/hyperkitty/api/mailman/archive: The requested URL was not found on this server. Indeed I cannot access that url using curl. Do I have to set up a separate apache vhost? The documentation is not clear about this, or I missed it. My external visible url is https://lists.[2]<tld>_/mailman3/mailman3/lists/_ -------- [1] https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html [2] https://lists.ftv-spandau.de/mailman3/mailman3/lists/

Delete user
by Rainer Herbst March 14, 2022

March 14, 2022

Hi *! Recently, I have updated my docker images to 0.4.2 and it worked great. In the Postorius GUI, I see a new topic "Users" and found it quite comfortable. But one problem remais open - how can I delete a user alltogether, i.e. including his subscription and account data from the database? The reason for this question are the GDPR regulations - we do subscribe new staff members to some lists automatically, and should unsubscribe them and delete the entries after they left our organization.

DKIM signatures with message footers or subject prefixes
by Stanisław Findeisen March 14, 2022

March 14, 2022

Dear Experts What is the best way to go about reconciling GNU Mailman3-made message modifications (like message footers or subject prefixes) with sender-made DKIM signatures? I am aware of the "DMARC mitigations" tab in the list settings, not bad, but it looks that "replace From: with list address" doesn't help (of course), whereas wrapping the message in an outer message often looks ugly. Is there a better way?... BTW I would like to point out that broken DKIM signature can be a problem even with an easy DMARC policy; for example ProtonMail will display this flashy red warning: https://protonmail.com/support/knowledge-base/email-has-failed-its-domains-… in its webmail. (I guess nothing can be done about it except "DMARC Mitigate unconditionally"). This is GNU Mailman 3.1. Thanks!

list footer questions
by Mohsen Masoudfar March 14, 2022

March 14, 2022

Hi, This seems to me like basic simple questions, I have tried FAQ and other resources, with not much success. I have two questions: 1. When I send an email to a list, in gmail and yahoo I see the following text with the links at the end of the email body: _______________________________________________ Testlist_dmark1 mailing list - listname(a)domain.tlb<mailto:testlist_dmark1@newlistserv.aaas.org> To unsubscribe send an email to listname-leave(a)domain.tlb In<mailto:listname-leave@domain.tlb%0b%0bIn> outlook this is added as an attachment in the form of a TEXT file, when you open it, you see the same text. Question: Is there a way to change this, that it looks in outlook the same way as it appears in gmail/yahoo? I know MS does it own stuff sometime and we have no impact on that, but I was thinking maybe we might change the footer in a way that outlooks sees that as part of email body. 2. How may I change the format and the text in footer? I was expecting it under list > setting, in postorius, but I could not find it.

Why is this Postorius API public?
by Stanisław Findeisen March 10, 2022

March 10, 2022

Hello I've just noticed that Postorius API is publicly accessible from the outside to an unauthenticated user, for example: https://HOST/postorius/api/templates/list/LISTNAME.VHOST/list:member:regula… Is this what is expected? Or a misconfiguration? How to fix this? This is GNU Mailman 3.1. Thanks!

New MM3 plugin: mailman_sieve
by Дилян Палаузов March 10, 2022

March 10, 2022

Hello, I have published a new Mailman 3 plugin at https://mail.aegee.org/cgit/mailman_sieve/tree/ . It generates for each mailing list a Sieve script. When the Sieve script is evaluated during the SMTP dialog, it would reject some emails, which otherwise would be bounced by Mailman. Less bounces means less backscatters and better IP reputation. For the record, I do the evaluation of the Sieve scripts during the SMTP dialog with https://mail.aegee.org/cgit/aegee-milter . Since the latter is not documented yet, you cannot use it. The mailman_sieve plugin is not useful, unless you have software to evaluate the Sieve Scripts during the SMTP dialog. This is a very first version, which does what it is supposed to do. Some optimizations are possible, like not including the subscriber addresses in the Sieve scripts for announce-only mailing lists. I am not good at writing setuptools configuration. Neither do I understand the mailman system very good right now, creating possibly shorter scripts. But the plugin is there to keep by IP reputation good! See https://mail.aegee.org/cgit/mailman_sieve/tree/README.md . My reading of the mm3 source code is that there is no event triggered, when the mailing list configuration changes, like adding a new moderator, or switching the announce-only status. In the lack of such event triggers, the Sieve scripts are not updated. When the code improves, the plugin could be published in PyPi or in mailman/contrib . Greetings Дилян

GNU Mailman in Google Summer of Code 2022!
by Stephen J. Turnbull March 10, 2022

March 10, 2022

Hi all, We are participating in Google Summer of Code 2022 (GSoC) under the Python Software Foundation (PSF). We did apply as a separate organization, but didn't get in. Many thanks to the PSF's GSoC organization for picking us up at the last minute! You can find our ideas page at https://wiki.list.org/DEV/Google%20Summer%20of%20Code%202022, and item on the PSF ideas page under https://python-gsoc.org/ideas.html (which isn't so interesting about Mailman, but you can check out who else is under the PSF banner there). Discussion and development of project ideas will take place on mailman-developers(a)python.org. If you have a developed idea not already listed that you're willing to discuss and advocate, and you're willing to grab the template (last item on our ideas page on list.org) and fill it out, please post it to mailman-developers(a)python.org. (This a deliberate hoop-jumping exercise to filter in "serious" ideas.) You can put more weight on it by expressing interest in mentoring the project, and even more by actually volunteering! ;-) If you have a half-baked idea, and/or you want to get input from other Mailman users, of course you should feel free to discuss it on mailman-users(a)mailman3.org. We *might* pick it up from there, even if it's just a drive-by post with little support from the list members. But no promises about that, most of our attention will go to mailman-developers. If you feel some idea should get more love, polish it a little and post that to mailman-developers (don't cross-post, please). Again, we'd love to have more mentors, including backup mentors. We currently only have two mentors. Although we're both core developers, and I'm on an academic schedule and can devote plenty of time to the student during the summer, not so for Abhilash. Volunteering at this stage is not a promise to do more than look at student proposals. You would only be asked to look at the proposals, and volunteer as mentor for that project if you have interest and some level of knowledge to contribute to it. Even if you're a site admin with little Python programming experience, vetting interns' brainstorms about list admin-visible features and holding their hands until the "pros from Dover" arrive is quite helpful in making the student feel at home in our community. Many students are shy about blogging and communicating about their projects to the community -- just talking to them about their project and suggesting that they blog what they told you is helpful. Coding skills and knowledge of some part of the Mailman 3 code base are most welcome, of course, but you can make your mentor role what you want it to be. Regards, Steve

address for email for owner
by bob B March 9, 2022

March 9, 2022

I just migrated my lists to mailman3 in docker today... YEAHHH!!!!!!!! but now my admins have to setup accounts and I noticed when they get the email to confirm it comes from admnin(a)[XYZ.COM]. Where is this email set? how can I change it? it is set to an internal domain (not public) of ours, so it is getting flagged as spam in external email accounts I looked in my docker. yaml and the MAILMAN_ADMIN_EMAIL=mailman3(a)[123.com}. which is where I would expect the request/confirmation email to come from.

User suspended after too much spam
by Eggert Ehmke March 6, 2022

March 6, 2022

I have set up spamassassin as spamfilter, and it works reasonable so far. Some spam passes the filter and I try to use it for training. However, one of my users has a very restrictive spam filter and rejects all spam. This causes mailman to suspend that user. I have to enable the user each time. How can I change that behaviour? I do not want my users to be suspended. Cheers
