Change the default value for the General Archive Policy
by Markus Grandpré June 26, 2025

June 26, 2025

Dear list, currently, when I create a new mailing list with MM3 the value for "Archive policy" is always set to "Public archives". I'd like to change the default value for "Archive policy" to "Do not archive this list". How can I do this? In Debian 12 I find in </usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/postorius/forms/list_forms.py>: mlist_properties = ['archivers'] archive_policy_choices = ( ('public', _('Public archives')), ('private', _('Private archives')), ('never', _('Do not archive this list')), ) archive_rendering_mode_choices = ( ('text', _('Plain text')), ('markdown', _('Markdown text')), ) archive_policy = forms.ChoiceField( choices=archive_policy_choices, widget=forms.RadioSelect, label=_('Archive policy'), help_text=_('Policy for archiving messages for this list'), ) but have no idea how to change the settings here. Your help is very appreciated.

Creating users via RestAPI / User-Management - a bunch of questions
by Christian Schneider June 23, 2025

June 23, 2025

Dear Mark and companions, somehow I can not cope with the user management... (I am running a venv-installation, latest stable versions) I read this manual: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/rest/docs/… and played with the RestAPI calls... I know about the fine grained differences between user and member, admin/owner, superuser... and about the two user databases in PostgreSQL and Django-Framework. What I stumble upon is the RestAPI calls to create a "working" user (with the ability to login via WebUI). When I follow the manual (from the url above) I create a user (including password) that appears in the PostgreSQL database. (And this user is visible on the User-URL (https://example.com/mailman3/users)) Even when I (via WebUI) set the user as "approved" this user is not able to log in... I assume this restriction is in accordance to the fact that there is not equivalent Django user. (There was a mail in the archive of the MM3 user group...stating that one has to use the Django RestAPI to create the appropriate user) When I create the user using the WebUI (https://example.com/accounts/signup/?next=/mailman3/lists/) the new user is created in the right (complete) way...appearing in the PostgreSQL database and as a user in Django. How is this sync between the two databases realized? (The Django user also has the correct status (no staff status / no superuser status / just active status) how is this realized?) As I am not very familiar with python programming (I know Perl/Java/C++ and have an (maybe outdated) concept of OOP), is there a quick way to implement this kind of sync by copying the register logic from mailman's python action script for registering? Other questions: Will there be a create_admin_user-script that is callable via CLI (like createsuperuser or create_list)? (This script ought create a user in PostgreSQL and as Django user) How will a social account provider (like oidc) linkage (in Django) fit in this concept? Will oidc-accounts be copied to the Django's user database (or PostgreSQL db) or is it an on-the-fly check against the oidc-provider? (I assume second option) What are the status-flags (staff status/superuser status/active status) of the linked oidc-accounts? (Can I specify the status flags?) A conceptual thought: When "user1" (with email user1(a)example.com) is known to django via oidc linkage and I create "user1" (also with email user1(a)example.com) via RestAPI calls (following the url https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/rest/docs/…) do I have a "complete" user then? I mean a user who is able to login and who can be assigned to a list as admin (e.g.) (In this case I would not have to care about the Django user database... ;-)) Thank you for some clarifying hints... :-) Chris

two signatures on sent mail?
by STR June 20, 2025

June 20, 2025

Hi, I am a very non-savvy mailman list user. I am trying to set up a list via cPanel but when I send emails there are two signatures. One is my usual signature and the other, below, is appended by Mailman and includes an http link to a non-existent page on my website. How do I strip the auto signature, just leaving my own? I use Mailman via cPanel on two separate hosting accounts. One works fine and this new one attaches the list address. I can't see what I did differently with the first! any help gratefully received Kate

footer template priority
by Sam Darwin June 20, 2025

June 20, 2025

It seems templates can be configured in the filesystem or via postorius. When I place a footer template in the filesystem it worked fine. Then without adjusting any configuration, without removing that, I tried to use the postorius control panel to add a footer template, which ends up in the database, both the core and web databases. But emails stop getting sent out. Emails were posted into Hyperkitty, but not mailed out via postfix. Whatever system logs I have access to, I have checked. There are no apparent errors anyplace. Perhaps I didn't look in the right places. The problematic email arrives, is posted to Hyperkitty, but isn't emailed out to subscribers. As if the template broke something. I remove the template from the postorius UI. Those queued emails are instantly sent! The template said "test content". No variables. I checked on the server for "queued emails" and did not find those either, in postfix or mailman. Mysterious. The phenomenon is repeatable on this server. Add a footer template, emails stop.

Django-allauth compatibility (ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATION_METHOD and ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REQUIRED)
by Jan Eden June 17, 2025

June 17, 2025

Hi, after installing Mailman 3 in a new virtual environment, I ran into the compatibility issues with django-allauth discussed by Andreas Vetter and Mark Sapira on this list in February[1] and in March[2] – WARNINGS: settings.ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATION_METHOD is deprecated, use: settings.ACCOUNT_LOGIN_METHODS = {'email', 'username'} settings.ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REQUIRED is deprecated, use: settings.ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_FIELDS = ['email*', 'username*', 'password1*', 'password2*'] – and solved them with the additions to /etc/mailman3/settings.py suggested by Mark: del ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATION_METHOD ACCOUNT_LOGIN_METHODS = {'email', 'username'} del ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REQUIRED ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_FIELDS = ['email*', 'username*', 'password1*', 'password2*'] In the second list thread, Mark linked to the current (patched) version of mailman-web's mailman.py[3], which addresses the deprecation of ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATION_METHOD, but not of ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REQUIRED. Is there any reason why the patch fixes only one of the two issues? - Jan [1] https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… [2] https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… [3] https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-web/-/blob/c8b9aef1704b75b1cb6d0c925855a…

Trouble Installing Mailman3
by Henry Hartley June 13, 2025

June 13, 2025

I'm having problems installing mailman3 following the instructions on https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html Everything goes well until I get to the Installing Mailman Core<https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#installing-mail…> step, which has me do the following in my venv environment: (venv)$ pip install wheel mailman psycopg2-binary Ubuntu 24.04.02 LTS Python 3.12.3 pip version 24.0 First, I was getting problems because my company firewall was blocking outbound traffic. I got that taken care of. Next, I was seeing certificate errors, saying there was a self-signed certificate: WARNING: Retrying (Retry(total=0, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self-signed certificate in certificate chain (_ssl.c:1000)'))': /simple/wheel/ Could not fetch URL https://pypi.org/simple/wheel/: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='pypi.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /simple/wheel/ (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self-signed certificate in certificate chain (_ssl.c:1000)'))) - skipping When I added --trusted-host pypi.org that error went away but I'm still unable to install anything: (venv) mailman@wz-prd-tpmd-1:~$ pip -v --trusted-host pypi.org install wheel mailman psycopg2-binary Using pip 24.0 from /opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pip (python 3.12) ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement wheel (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for wheel The same error shows up if I try to install just mailman or psycopg2-binary, except the word "wheel" is replace with whichever package I've requested.

mail loops back to myself
by Florian Sukup June 13, 2025

June 13, 2025

Hi, I've spent hours on finding the error but no success. I hope you can help: I am running Debian with older version of mailman3 (3.3.3) and postfix (3.5). Postfix on its own is working fine. I set up mailman, created a site/domain (lists.yyy.com) My hostname is host.xxx.com . My IP has a RDNS entry: reverse.rrr.com . When I send an email to my mailing list mylist(a)lists.yyy.com I receive an error email. The logfile says the following: ...

Full-text searching: why Haystack instead of PostgreSQL?

"to" Headers for Non-Anonymous lists
by Dan Caballero June 10, 2025

June 10, 2025

Hello, At the request of a list owner, we changed the settings on a list to "Anonymous = No" so that list members could see who a message was coming from. It seems a side effect of the setting is that users are now using "reply-to" and some messages are going out to the list addressed in the manner below. "Last Name, First Name via list-name <list-name(a)caltech.edu>" The list owner feels this is confusing and some members may inadvertently email the list when they intend to email the individual. I understand this is likely a client side caching issue since most email clients create an index of contacts based on previously received emails. Aside from reverting back to "Anonymous = Yes", is there any setting we can change at the list level to force the "to" field to persist as the list email address? Thanks in advance for your help. ---- Dan Caballero Systems Administrator Academic Computing Solutions IMSS - Caltech https://imss.caltech.edu

Threads by month dropdown
by Sam Darwin June 7, 2025

June 7, 2025

Hi, After running hyperkitty_import to import thousands of emails from mailman2 (the years 2013-2025) I then ran another import for years 2004-2013 from another mbox file. It was an entirely earlier timeframe, which may be relevant. After the first import, the "Threads by month" dropdown showed 2013-2025. After the second import, the "Threads by month" dropdown showed 2013-2025. That is, 2004-2013 are missing. I have tried various things, including the mailman3-web cron maintenance tasks, waiting a day, and rebooting the server to clear memory. All messages were imported, and can be seen in "All threads". The messages are there. The only problem is the "Threads by month" dropdown. Beyond the dropdown, everything seems fine. Could it be a bug? Should I open an issue? Or, what should I try next? Is there a "refresh all threads by month" specific task? Deleting all archives and importing the older messages first... that worked correctly. It is a large destructive actions though, should that count as the official solution? Detour: While debugging it seemed to be an interesting question whether the mailman3-web periodic cron tasks had been running, and if those tasks affected the hyperkitty import. Referring to "Cron Jobs for Mailman Web" https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#cron-jobs-for-m… Those instructions are not dumping stdout/stderr to a log file, nor rotating the log files. What is your opinion if I sent a pull request that adds "Method 2 - Advanced", and include logging for the crons. Or maybe I am missing something. Is the output of the cron tasks getting logged in your environment?

What is the best practice creating lists triggered by a another / second system?
by Christian Schneider June 6, 2025

June 6, 2025

Dear MM-Users, after reading a lot in the projects documentation of mailman3 I am not sure how to set up a "connection" between another system/server (running a self-service portal for our users) and the mailman3 server (venv-installation) for creating lists (giving a list owner's email address and a customized list style, given by name). On our old mailman-2.1 instance I used an ssh-tunnel and triggered the newlist-command with appropriate parameters. This seems a little bit outdated to me - nowadays... ;-) So I read about the rest api of mailman3 and thought, I might give it a go... On the other hand the rest api should not be exposed externally (localhost-only) as said here: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… Running an nginx reverse proxy (and a firewall for the complete subnet) I am able to give dedicated access to the api but nevertheless I have no good feeling going this way... So my question is: What would be the best way to trigger creation of lists using a second system? Thank you for any suggestions! Chris

Recently active discussions - Hyperkitty
by Sam Darwin June 5, 2025

June 5, 2025

Hi, Sometimes not sure if it's preferable to open a gitlab issue, or chat on the mailing list. I have run a large archive import into mailman3/hyperkitty. After that's done, waited a day, for scheduled cron jobs to complete. In "All Threads", all the email archives are present. The import worked. In "RECENTLY ACTIVE DISCUSSIONS" on the main page, it says: RECENTLY ACTIVE DISCUSSIONS No discussions this month (yet). Nothing there. That means if I direct users to visit the site, the page, it appears empty. That's too bad. :-) It should display recent emails. What would affect this feature during an archive import? Is it a problem with the import script itself, or with a scheduled cron job, or something else? Would you expect "Recently active discussions" be empty when very recent archives do exist? Thanks, Sam

Unable to update templates
by Mark May 29, 2025

May 29, 2025

Hi, I'm unable to update the custom welcome template (list:user:notice:welcome) after it's initial creation. When the custom welcome template is created (in Postorius), and a user then subscribed by the list-owner (using mass subscribe), the welcome message is received as expected. However when I update the template, the databases are updated correctly but the Welcome message is still sent with the old template content. mailman.templates mailmanweb.postorius_emailtemplate Additionally, if I delete the template and create a new one the old content still gets sent. I cannot find where this content is written or is being cached. Any clues on tracking this bugbear down gratefully received.

Hi Stephen, thanks for the comprehensive explanations and sorry for initially not answering to the list (I expected this to be the default behaviour). Afterall it turned out that my mailman.db was somehow broken, even though I couldn't find any fishy / strange things in Postorius. Since anyhow just a few lists are hosted on the server and subscriptions for most of them being managed fron another program, I decided to remove MM3 completely and start with a fresh configuration.

Hyperkitty archive: date format in thread overview of list does not honor DATETIME_FORMAT of settings.py
by Christian Schneider May 28, 2025

May 28, 2025

Dear mailman community, with the help of you I was able to set up a new mailman3 environment (a big THANK YOU!!! :-)): OS: Ubuntu 24.04-LTS mailman: GNU Mailman 3.3.10 (Tom Sawyer) Python: 3.12.3 (main, Feb 4 2025, 14:48:35) [GCC 13.3.0] Method: Python Virtual Environment Installation My configuration files are placed in the following directory: /etc/mailman3 - gunicorn.py - mailman.cfg - settings.py The environment is up and running: A list for testing is set up and mails are transfered (and archived) using the test-list - successfully... :-) Looking at the thread overview of the list (in Hyperkitty archives) I realized that the shown date format is unusual (for Germany), like: Do Mai 22, 3:57 nachm. (meaning: Thu May 22, 3:57 p.m.) I would prefer a format like: 22-05-2025 15:57:24 So I tried to reconfigure this setting in settings.py according to this URL: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-web.html#configure-postorius-hyp… In settings.py I set DATETIME_FORMAT to 'd-m-Y H:i:s' but the format did not change. (After changing settings.py I initiated a restart of mailman3 and mailmanweb) I also set USE_L10N to False as suggested in Django-Docs: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/ref/settings/#std:setting-DATETIME_FO… My /etc/mailman3/settings.py is parsed - as far as I can say because changing USE_I18N to false (in /etc/mailman3/settings.py) switches date to English as this is my locales-setting on Ubuntu... Nevertheless the format stays the same (in this case: Thu May 22, 3:57 p.m.) How can I adjust the date format (in the discussion boxes) at the thread overview page (url: https://my-domain.de/archives/list/test-list@lists.my-domain.de/)? Any hint is appreciated! Thank you very much and kind regards Christian

MM broken after proxy migration (Nginx -> Caddy)
by Andreas Kemper May 27, 2025

May 27, 2025

Hi, I've been running MM 3 for quite some time, with a couple of lists including members managed via the REST-API from an external program. After some issues with LetsEncrypt certificates, I migrated the HTTPs proxy from previous Nginx now to Caddy with the following Caddyfile: https://listen.dlc-aachen.de { header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=31536000; # Disable access to archive and registration redir /hyperkitty* https://listen.dlc-aachen.de redir /accounts/signup* https://listen.dlc-aachen.de reverse_proxy localhost:8000 { header_up X-Forwarded-Proto {scheme} header_up X-Forwarded-Host {host} } handle_path /static/* { file_server { root /var/lib/mailman3/web/static } } } Following this change, list continued operation as usual, but after a few days it seemed to be attacked via it's GUI, according to the attached Django error message. Since then mailman doesn't send out anymore mails and I have a persistent master.lck file. Furthermore, during mailman start smtp.log always shows a "Connection lost during _handle_client()". I guess the connection loss is related to the master.lck file, hence how can I get rid of it / "reset" mailman? In addion, should I include further directives in my Caddyfile in order to protect mailman from coming attacks? Thx a lot Andreas

Django: An error occurred while processing your request.
by Florian Sukup May 27, 2025

May 27, 2025

Hi, I running Debian bookworm and have installed mailman3-full (+ postfix). I am new to mailman3 (using mailman2 now) and about exploring how to migrate. I had 3 sites or domains: example.com and two real ones. When I received emails from postorius, then it came from example.com which is nonsense as I worked with the real lists. So I deleted example.com. When I call https://.../mailman3/admin or any of the lists, the result is: Server error An error occurred while processing your request. How can I get out of it? This is only a test environment, so no heart attack. Thank you for any help. Florian.

Masking email addresses in the archives

Moderation -- implicit destination behavior
by Steve Bachinsky May 24, 2025

May 24, 2025

Hi. We have noticed some posts being held for moderation (even though user has permission to post to list) and Mailman reports: moderation_reasons: ['Message has implicit destination’] The lists are configured for “require_explicit_destination”. However, the email address of the list is clearly in the CC: header of the email (no alias or subdomain). Is there some other reason why Mailman would hold an email for moderation with the reason of “implicit destination”? This moderation is not consistent for same list and poster. The emails come from a large domain with multiple load-balancing email servers. I suspect that it may be something with one or more of the servers being misconfigured, but unable to see anything obvious from the headers and confused why Mailman states the reason to be implicit destination when that does not seem to be the cause. Thanks, Steve

Execute assorted Mailman functions via Mailman shell terminal
by Andy Matthews May 15, 2025

May 15, 2025

When my company migrated from MM2 to MM3, they discovered there were things that didn't work as expected (don't get me started). So they developed a set of Python functions which allowed then to fill in the missing functionality. However, they've discovered that some of those functions either never worked properly, or no longer work. For example, ``` def list_nonmembers(mlist): for accepted in mlist.accept_these_nonmembers: print("Accepted: ",accepted) for held in mlist.hold_these_nonmembers: print("Held: ",held) ``` They're run by shelling into the machine which hosts mailman and executed like so (where scripts is `scripts.py`) ``` sudo -iu mailman mailman shell -l MAILING_LIST_ID --run scripts.list_nonmembers ``` I'm recommending that we install Postorius, as I suspect many of the functions they've written are already present in that UI, but it's not as simple as that. Instead they're wanting a handful of these functions (including the one listed above) replaced sooner than we could get Postorius up and running. I've gotten this far: ``` from mailman.interfaces.listmanager import IListManager from zope.component import getUtility mylist_id = 'bravo-open1(a)tena-sda.org' list_manager = getUtility(IListManager) mylist = list_manager.get(mylist_id) ``` The mylist variable is of type `mailman.model.mailinglist.MailingList`, and includes an Attributes for nonmembers: ``` mylist.nonmembers <mailman.model.roster.NonmemberRoster object at 0x7ffffa3e65b0> ``` But this nonmembers property doesn't output any users/addresses when printed, and throws a TypeError when I try to iterate over it: ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: 'NonmemberRoster' object is not iterable ``` So, given a mailing list instance, retrieved via `list_manager.get(mylist_id)`, how would I go about printing all nonmembers and their current roles in a list (held, accepted, etc.)? Alternately, is there a different question I should be asking in order to retrieve that information?

Mass subscription and Delivery mode/status
by Andreas Vetter May 14, 2025

May 14, 2025

Hello all, we run a venv installation of "mailman postorius django-mailman3 hyperkitty mailman-web". When I mass subscribe (pre-verified) a new mail address into a list, the Delivery mode appears as Regular in /mailman3/lists/somelist.example.com/members/member/ That is what I expect. When I click on the new mail address from there, i.e. mailman3/lists/somelist.example.com/members/options/eimer@mail.org?role=mem… the Delivery status is ----- instead of Enabled and the Delivery mode is ----- instead of Regular. In fact, all yes/no radio buttons are unset. This is unexpected. What does ----- mean in that case? Is it unset and some default (from the list?) is used? After thinking another round about it: Is the view mailman3/lists/somelist.example.com/members/options/eimer@mail.org?role=mem… only filled with values, when somebody (member, list owner or admin) actively set values and unfilled otherwise? -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Andreas Vetter

configuring postfix local recipient table
by Alexander Inzinger-Zrock May 5, 2025

May 5, 2025

**System Key Data** OS: Debian 12 mailman: GNU Mailman 3.3.10 (Tom Sawyer) Python: Python 3.11.2 (main, Nov 30 2024, 21:22:50) [GCC 12.2.0] Method: Python Virtual Environment Installation Ahoi, i am trying to configure a mailman3 instance to replace a mailman2 installation (both on different hosts). The mm3 instance is actually not reachable (Incoming) but can send (Outgoing), as is the desired state to be (we intend to swap IPs during change of systems). A. Verify Incoming To verify that emails send to the MTA (postfix) get properly handled and handed over to the mm3-instance i tried to substitute incoming email by a) swaks utility [1] (fail) b) telnet utility [2] (fail) c) command ''mailman inject'' [3] (success) With c) i copied a former generate testmail-file to the mm3-host and injected it directly to my testlist (leaving out the MTA). With a) and b) i tried to hand over a testmail via CLI to the MTA (postfix) what resulted in the error: "Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table" B. /etc/postfix/main.cfg A search in mailman-users(a)mailman3.org archives [4] pointed me to the configuration of postfix as MTA [5], especially settings with the 'local_recipients_maps' parameter that should be set like [5]: local_recipient_maps = proxy:unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps hash:/path-to-mailman/var/data/postfix_lmtp what i did / already had done. C. aliasing, restarting services and test without , I then restarted postfix, rebuilt the postfix aliases (command ''newaliases'') and rebuilt the mailman aliases (command ''mailman aliases''), even tried with space-separation instead of coma-separation [6], testet again with same result. D. empty /opt/mailman/mm/var/data/postfix_lmtp and then i just found out that my postfix_lmpt file was empty (that i believe to be the the place from where the hastables take their input). Questions: 1. could somebody suggest a way, an entry should occur in postfix_lmtp? 2. What would be the appropriate order to manually generate aliases? first: postfix-command ''newaliases'' and second: mailman-command ''mailman aliases'' or reverse? 3. finding traces [7] of a file called postfix.cfg i can't find it (anymore) in the official installation instructions. Is that file (still?) necessary regarding: 3.1 parameter for default lookup table type 3.2 pointing to command ''postmap'' 4. to what user should the command ''postmap'' be available [8]? Any pointer to manuals or examples i may have missed or ideas on any of those 4 questions would be greatly appreciated. lg alexander Sources: [1] swaks utility https://jetmore.org/john/code/swaks/ [2] telnet utility https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet [3] command ''mailman inject'' https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/commands/d… [4] search mailman-users(a)mailman3.org archives 'user unknown in local recipient table' https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/search?q=user+unknown+in+local+recipien… [5] docs mm3: 'Hooking up your mail server' https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/mta.h… [6] docs postfix: local_recipient_maps https://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#local_recipient_maps [7] traces of postfix.cfg + https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… + https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/NEWS.… [8] docs mm3: transport maps (regarding command ''postmap'') https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/mta.h…

Log Owner/Moderator actions ban address matching.
by Hitashi mancho May 1, 2025

May 1, 2025

Dear All, In Mailman 3, is there any way we can log the Owner/Moderator actions like moderator "x" approved the posting on list(a)example.com? Also, I have configured some local ban lists and some global ban lists as per my organization's policy. In my setup, I observed that when someone from the ban list posts to the list, that posting goes into a blackhole without leaving any trace. I may have made some configuration mistakes, but can we log the ban list matching or generate a notification if some postings match the ban list? Regards, Hitachi.

Mailman not starting after restoring from snapshot
by zachr＠mta.ca April 28, 2025

April 28, 2025

I made a snapshot of my mailman3 VM before running a script to modify a bunch of lists. I stupidly did not turn the VM off before I made the snapshot, so Im almost certain this is a corrupted DB problem from doing a snapshot restore. The issue is now that the mailman service will not start automatically. Im able to get to the web interface but I see the error "Mailman REST API not available. Please start Mailman core." I can su to the mailman user and run 'mailman start -f' which seems to get things going again and shows the lists as they were before the snapshot, which is good, but I would like to get the issue fixed so that services start normally. Any help is appreciated.

Moderator e-mails only going out once a day
by jkoral＠luc.edu April 22, 2025

April 22, 2025

Hi, I have just got done migrating from MM2 to MM3 and the users are experiencing issues with their moderated messages. After the message is sent, the moderator does not know about the message until the next day. I checked the maillogs and all those messages are being sent at the same time around midnight. I also noticed the messages are being sent from user(a)example.com, which I switched in /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg to a generic e-mail address. Is there a way to change those moderator e-mails to send right away? Does having user(a)example.com in the config affect that? Thank you in advance, Joe

Upgrade docker-mailman to v0.5.2
by Christopher April 21, 2025

April 21, 2025

Hi Abhilash, I checkout the v0.5.2 for testing my upgrade from 0.4.6 and noticed, that the docker-image-version is still set to 0.4 in docker-compose.yaml. Is there any reason for it or should it be set to 0.5? I´m still using my good old mariadb. I did not find any upgrade-informations about breaking-changes. Do you have any experience with migrating from 0.4.6 to 0.5.2 on mariadb? Best regards Chrclaus

posting bounced with 501 Message has defects
by Hitashi mancho April 21, 2025

April 21, 2025

Dear All, One of our users posted an email using a Bluemail Desktop client on one of the mailing lists. This email bounced with the reason "501 Message has defects". However, it gets accepted if the same user posts the same email on the same mailing list using Webmail (RoundCube) or Thunderbird. There is nothing in mailman.log and bounce.log, even in debug mode. Following is the SMTP log for the same email posting and the email header. Any guidance in debugging this will be highly appreciated.

Setup Question: Disk-Layout (Migrating from Mailman 2.1)
by christian.schneider＠tu-dortmund.de April 21, 2025

April 21, 2025

Hello, actually I am running the latest available Mailman-2 Version on Ubuntu 20.04! Now it is really time to move on! :-) I want to set up a new server (Ubuntu-24.04) and install Mailman-3 with the Virtualenv setup method: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html As I know from my old Mailman-2.1 the archives could get quite big... ;-) So it seems very important to provide enough (expandable) disk space at the right place. (I plan to use a seperate partition with LVM for the path in question) But I could find no information about the location where hyperkitty stores the archives on an Ubuntu-/Linux-system. I assume the archives are stored underneath "/var/..." this is only a guess. But is this guess right? Another question is: How much space do I have to plan (roughly) for the "/opt"-partition for the mailman install if the archives are stored under "/var/..."? Any guidance ist very much appreciated! Thank you very much Chris

moving from sqlite3 to postgresql
by Michael Richardson April 20, 2025

April 20, 2025

Hi, I installed mailman3 a few years ago on lists.sandelman.ca aka lists.tcpdump.org. My upgrade was in part a response to the HTTP based attacks that used the signup form on mailman2 to attack people via SMTP with DOS. I know the IETF mailman2 install {now gone} had some kind of delay implemented in the web form before you could submit. I didn't understand why. I installed via debian packages, and I'd really prefer to stay with that. (Not what many maintainers would say, I know. Essential that it work if mailman3 is going to take over) There were problems, probably with the hyperkitty integration with subsequent updates seemed to solve. I installed with sqlite3, since it seemed if all work was going to go through the mailman3 daemon, that it would handle all the concurrency issues. This has not been the case. I get weekly complaints about the database being locked. Sometimes this goes way on it's own, but sometimes it does not. A good way to tickle this is to go the web interface, go to a list with 200 held messages, and then having told it to show me 100+ messages per page, to then tell it to discard them all. So slow. Before I realized what was going on, I'd open multiple tabs to try to make this concurrent. So I tried to switch last week from sqlite3 to postgresql. I used pgloader with a configuration file attached below. This seemed easier than a sqlite3 dump/psql, as the SQL requires some massaging that seeemed to require more brainpower than I had at the time. I then edited /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg to suit. I had set up the postgresql database under the "list" owner, so unix-domain socket permissions, and restarted. I then saw some errors: lists not found! I visited the web interface. NO LISTS. DAMN. I put it back. I haven't figured out what went wrong yet. I will clone the VM and try again. I will report whatever I find here. === load database from '/var/lib/mailman3/mailman.db' into postgresql:///mailman3 with include drop, create tables, create indexes, reset sequences set work_mem to '16MB', maintenance_work_mem to '512 MB'; === ps: I'd pay some $$ money for email support consulting.

Disabling "delete account" option
by Hitashi mancho April 19, 2025

April 19, 2025

Dear all, Recently, I have migrated from Mailman2 to Mailman3 GNU Mailman 3.3.10 (Tom Sawyer) Python 3.11.9 Some of the list users logged into Postorius and went to profile settings. Over there, they found an option "Delete Account". Without any discussion, they deleted their account and all their list membership. How can we prevent this from happening? Is it possible to disable this "Delete Account" option, or can we add some admin approval? Regards, Hitachi. ___________________________________________ Mailman's content filtering has removed the following MIME parts from this message.

Do you struggle with message rejected. AUP#CDRBL while using mailman with your ISP email relay?
by Michael Richardson April 18, 2025

April 18, 2025

I'm impressed by Philip Bondi's use of mailman[23] for home financial automation. ("Take off Eh!") ... It seems like a ticketing system would be a better system for such a use... maybe the IETF SML WG will further help with this.. (I find most Canadian financial institutions are so far behind the curve) I think that your email is hosted by hostedemail.com? I'm guessing that "eshop" is the mailbox you use for these common notices, and maybe you retrieve that into your mailman3 with fetchmail or something? Or does your ISP turn around and SMTP to you directly? Is it your MTA, their MTA, or mailman that is doing the rejection? My problem, on lists.sandelman.ca aka lists.tcpdump.org, is messages that appear to have been processed by my MTA (according to postfix logs), but which are never delivered, nor held. Lost somewhere in mailman3 queue. Sometimes they show up after a host reboot.

Do you struggle with message rejected. AUP#CDRBL while using mailman with your ISP email relay?
by Philip Bondi April 17, 2025

April 17, 2025

Hello to all: mailman3 is phenomenal upgrade from mailman2. Very nice. Thank you to the team. In our family, we use mailman to provide redundancy on important financial emails. In this manner, emails from banks, government, ecommerce or other important providers are distributed to multiple family members. And we can ask family members if they paid the credit card bill, received their delivery, saw their tax liability or refund notification, etc. Does anyone else use mailman for such a purpose? Do you struggle with "message rejected. AUP#CDRBL" while using mailman with your ISP email relay? For example, when receiving email from a Bank or the Government of Canada on a mailman2 list, sometimes my ISP would not relay the email and I would get message rejected. AUP#CDRBL On mailman2, I mitigated by stripping headers, wrapping message and DKIM signing. Here is a mailman2 message that is stripped, wrapped and signed. https://freeimage.host/i/30O5EXe Do you have this problem with your ISP with certain senders? What are your mitigation strategies on mailman3?

makemigrations --merge error after Debian upgrade
by Chupin Maxime April 16, 2025

April 16, 2025

Hi, I upgraded my debian version, and since, it seems that I have a problem. I tried `mailman-web migrate` (and `mailman-web collectstatic` etc.) and I get the error message: ``` CommandError: Conflicting migrations detected; multiple leaf nodes in the migration graph: (0010_auto_20220618_2315, 0014_schedule_cluster in django_q; 0014_auto_20220618_2315, 0018_alter_emailtemplate_language in postorius). To fix them run 'python manage.py makemigrations --merge' ``` So I tried `mailman-web makemigrations --merge` that ended with ``` PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/postorius/migrations/0019_merge_20240930_1159.py' ``` There is no such a file in the migration directory. Any idea ? Thanks in advance, All the best Maxime Chupin

how should I implement multiple domains for receiving emails to a list
by Philip Bondi April 16, 2025

April 16, 2025

Hello to all: I think I have resolved almost all of my issues. Thank you for your coaching. You are all super heroes. I have two domains: systemdatabase.ca, systemdatabase.homelinux.com All my lists should be on both domains. So h(a)systemdatabase.ca is the same list as h(a)systemdatabase.homelinux.com. I found this was the mailman2 behaviour on my old CentOS 7 installation and I am accustomed to it. I edited /opt/mailman/venv_mm/var/data/postfix_lmtp directly. Duplicated and edited all the lines. And compiled with postmap /opt/mailman/venv_mm/var/data/postfix_lmtp I sent a test email. This appears to work. Is this the best method to achieve this goal? What would you recommend?

Unable to ban users via mailman-shell
by Mihai Moldovan April 13, 2025

April 13, 2025

Hi I can't seem to be able to add bans via mailman-shell: # mailman-wrapper shell Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell >>> from mailman.testing.documentation import dump_json >>> from mailman.interfaces.mailinglist import IMailingList >>> from zope.component import getUtility >>> list_manager = getUtility(IListManager) >>> mlist = list_manager.get('x2go-commits(a)lists.x2go.org') >>> bans = IBanManager(mlist) >>> new_bans = ["really", "long", "list", "with", "addresses", "I'd", "like", "to", "ban"] >>> for new_ban in new_bans: ... bans.ban(new_ban) ... >>> for ban in bans: ... print('{0}: {1}'.format(ban.list_id,ban.email)) ... [long list of bans] >>> exit() # mailman-wrapper shell Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell >>> from mailman.testing.documentation import dump_json >>> from mailman.interfaces.mailinglist import IMailingList >>> from zope.component import getUtility >>> list_manager = getUtility(IListManager) >>> mlist = list_manager.get('x2go-commits(a)lists.x2go.org') >>> bans = IBanManager(mlist) >>> for ban in bans: ... print('{0}: {1}'.format(ban.list_id,ban.email)) ... >>> exit() GNU Mailman 3.3.8 (Tom Sawyer), installed on Ubuntu 24.04 via distro packages (yes, they are completely broken; yes, I had to backport fixes from your Gitlab instance to even get this properly installed and working; yes, I think I can handle this) What could possibly be the cause of this? I don't even see any calls to the REST API for each bans.ban() call. Should I see those? Or is bans.ban() directly modifying the database? I skimmed the source code and it looks like as if IBanManager and the concrete BanManager model seem to work directly on a DB connection, so I assume that it's not going through REST. If that is the case (I'm using sqlite3, nothing fancy), why doesn't it stick? Do I have to commit changes somehow? Mihai

CSS Hyperkitty ERROR
by Johan Alsina April 12, 2025

April 12, 2025

Hi, i installed mailman3 with virtualenv, all is working fine, the admin site works fine, the mailman(postorious) site works fine, but when im in hyperkitty the site shows without the css style.. in my web browser dev tool it shows like they loaded ok.. Here you can see what i see when loading hyperkitty https://freeimage.host/i/3n6kXKQ and mailman(postorius) https://freeimage.host/i/mailman.3n6kVix When i run my server with verbosity it shows like all is loading ok: https://freeimage.host/i/3n6SViG Any ideas? :/ My static files are loading from /static/CACHE/css/output.a0f71925131b.css and /static/hyperkitty/libs/fonts/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css It seems like the real error are in the /static/CACHE files, because hyperkitty is the only one who load files from this directory.. postorius uses /static/postorius and all the css files are working fine. I checked permissions for the directory, cleared cache, etc.. i dont know what to do. This is my config for staticfiles: STATIC_URL = 'static/' STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles') STATICFILES_DIRS = [ os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'), '/opt/mailman/projectes/mailman3web/static/CACHE', Thank you so much in advance.

Can't post to my own list from HyperKitty
by megabrutal＠gmail.com April 11, 2025

April 11, 2025

Hi Everyone, I've recently installed Mailman3 and still testing it. I tried to reply to a topic on my own list while also being a superuser from HyperKitty, but I got this error message: "This list is moderated, please subscribe to it before posting." Then why I even see the archive of the private list? What might be wrong? One thing that might confuse the system is that I added a secondary e-mail to my account. I thought it would allow me to post from any of my addresses, but it seems like it's not the case, looks like I can only subscribe with one of the addresses. It also looks like HyperKitty has trouble matching up the addresses, as it lists 4 participants for the conversation, while 2 of them is my account, the other 2 is my test address. In reality, it should list 2 posters. Best regards, MegaBrutal

Missing styling on select pages
by grodriguez＠usra.edu April 9, 2025

April 9, 2025

Hello all, I installed mailman3 on Rocky Linux 9 via the Virtualenv Installation installation guide. I configured Apache httpd to proxy gunicorn. For the most part, everything is looking good except for some select pages that do not contain the styling like all other pages. When a user sees the "Verify Your Email Address" screen, it's without any of the styling. /accounts/confirm-email/ Same for when a user tries to reset their password. The initial screen looks good (with styling), but after entering the email address and clicking "Reset My Password", the following screen is bare. /accounts/password/reset/done/ I have Mailman 3.3.10, Postorius Version 1.3.13, and HyperKitty version 1.3.12. Any suggestions?

April 7, 2025

Hi team, Our Mailman3 server crashes with OOM and high CPU usage. As soon as we start the mailmanweb service (uwsgi process), the system crashes. It was working fine, but this issue started recently. We haven't changed any recently. Any idea how to fix this? or any suggestions? Look forward to hearing from you soon. Kind regards, Prasanth Nair

bypassing rules on an individual basis
by dlb-ml＠anl.gov April 4, 2025

April 4, 2025

I have a mailing list that, due to specific circumstances, has a requirement to allow messages from a user that sends messages with no subject. I've added the address to the "Accept these non-members" collection, but messages from that address still get held for moderation, due to the no-subect rule. https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/rules/docs… https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/rules/docs… I went through the list's interface, and I wasn't able to find a mechanism to disable the rule, aside from editing the code itself. I also added header filters to immediately accept the message, but they still get held. Specifically, the rules I defined are: Header, Pattern, Action subject, ^Subject:\s*([[{(]?no[_ ]subject[]})]?)?\s*$, Accept Immediately subject, ^Subject:, Accept Immediately subject, ^, Accept Immediately Did I configure this correctly and/or is this the right course of action? Is there a better way to bypass this rule? Thanks

Change delivery_status in bulk
by Hitashi mancho April 4, 2025

April 4, 2025

Dear All, We have a Mailman3 instance with around 500 mailing lists. Most of the mailing lists have 5000 subscribers. Because of some misconfiguration in the postfix, posting for 1000 users has been bounced. Until we realized what happened, the mailman had set delivery_status to "disabled_by_bounces." for many subscribers. Now, I am unable to locate any command or an API call through which I can change the delivery_status back to enabled for 1000+ users. Can you please guide me on how I can do this programmatically using cli (I will write a bash script) or using an API call? Regards, Hitachi.

April 2, 2025

Hi, I want to know whether we can setup nested mailing lists in mailman 3 which we used to do in mailman 2. like ep2021@iitb.ac.in,ep2022@iitb.ac.in,ep2023@iitb.ac.in mailing lists exist and we add all this mailing lists as member in ep(a)iitb.ac.in. Whether this kind of nested mailing lists work ? --chandrakant

mailman3 on new Debian 12 installation, got ssl apache working on all URLs except /mailman3
by Philip Bondi April 1, 2025

April 1, 2025

Hello to all: Giant thank you to the community, Mark, Stephen, everyone. I have a lot of follow-up tasks in previous posts. Blazing forward on critical path flaws, first. I require a Debian 12 VM that supports: - Subversion - Let's Encrypt and required challenges - IMAP server - mailman3 - DKIM server I found this post helpful. https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… I think I've noticed that posters avoid less than sign and express as html. I hacked it into this, which I tried to anonymize. My alias /static/ had to point to different location for my installation. I have ssl working for Subversion and my Let's Encrypt challenges.

No emails distributed after mail received for a new list following https://docs.list.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html on new mailman3 Debian 12 installation
by Philip Bondi March 27, 2025

March 27, 2025

Hello to all: I require a Debian 12 VM that supports: - Subversion - Let's Encrypt and required challenges - IMAP server - mailman3 - DKIM server I'm currently running same on a CentOS 7.x VM. So that needs to be retired/migrated sooner rather than later because CentOS is out-of-support. On the Debian 12 VM other services appear to be setup and working. mailman3 is the 2nd last service that I'm standing up. In this moment, I've been able to follow https://docs.list.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html and https://docs.list.org/en/latest/config-web.html I have mailman3 and mailmanweb services running successfully. I have not yet been able to integrate mailmanweb into Apache (probably because of the Subversion and Let's Encrypt requirements). But I'm able to access local Postorius instance and configure a superuser and a list with web browser running locally on Debian 12 VM. My list is named ebill. An email was received for the DL, but not distributed. Can you advise how to troubleshoot from here?

remove website example.com via django interface
by Alexander Inzinger-Zrock March 27, 2025

March 27, 2025

remove website 'example.com' via django interface or "how to rush jourself off your feet" **Disclaimer: don't try this at home** in believe to replace the display of 'example.com' in the postorius-webinterface i logged into django-interface, under 'website' (very bottom of the left menu) i added my new website and then deleted 'example.com'. Result: i can't access my webinterfaces any more, neither django nor postorius. Questions: 1. Does somebody know about the correct approach to change the displayed url in the postorius-webinterface? 2. does somebody perhaps know how to revert those removal via CLI or other ways? greetings aiz

How to change the showed URL/Domain of archives navbar?
by Ulf R. March 18, 2025

March 18, 2025

Hello, our first Domain was lists-test.mydomain.de. After this we added our real domain lists.mydomain.de and our migration from mailman2.1 has finished :-) When you go to lists-test.mydomain.de/archives/ in the the navbar only the name of our first test-domain is shown (lists-test.mydomain.de). How can we set the other domain there? I have tried to change the order of our two domains in the settings.py - without success.

Postorius Suggestion: Give owner a view of all users of all owned lists
by Stephen J. Turnbull March 14, 2025

March 14, 2025

Andreas Vetter writes: > A list of all addresses subscribed to all lists owned by the logged > in person. This is starting to take a better form. It's still very specialized, so I'm starting to wonder if trying to add it to Postorius is a great idea. Of course if people are coming in over the network, you don't want to reproduce all the authentication and authorization logic implemented in Django and Postorius. That may as well be done in Django, and if you're doing Django it may as well be Postorius too. But if you're in a single sign-on environment so presence in the network implies strong authentication, you will get more flexibility from local scripts using mailmanclient, or if you're confident in security access to the REST API directly. Just putting that out for your consideration, since implementing what is taking shape here would take quite some time as the folks skilled with Postorius are not so active these days. > Owner is the primary target group for that.

Looking at your description above, for superusers that is basically the Users tab, though. Users are identified by primary address, and you'd not see alternate addresses in the list. But presumably your internal users use their @your.org addresses as primary. Can you make clear what could be more streamlined for your use cases as superuser? I give one example below, maybe that's what you're mostly interested in. The caveats about access to User objects still apply for owners, so even if they look the same (which is a good UX idea if owner functionality is a subset of superuser functionality, also they might even be able to share the basic page templates), the implementation is going to be rather different. I suspect you superusers would be quite frustrated if using the "subscribe all these lists" functionality meant you couldn't get at the User object without going to a different page. I do see one weird thing: you can't manipulate subscription itself from the User page as seen by the superuser from that list, only toggle moderation and delivery mode. I guess that's reasonable for a lot of use cases, though. I've never wanted to do a subscribe or unsubscribe from there. I always have a long list of users to subscribe to specific lists, never a list of lists a specific user should belong to, > The presentation given when above "Subscriptions" Button is clicked > should contain the address as kind of Headline.

May be a single Toggle Button > or (maybe better) two buttons, a suscribe and a unsubscribe button, > where one is greyed out. This would not work with the current User page as presented to a superuser, that's true. The current presentation is quite suited to its purpose, with sections for Addresses, Subscriptions, Ownership, and Delete User in that order. But especially for superusers, there are plenty of sites with thousands, even tens of thousands of lists, and even a paged or scrollable presentation would be awful UI, and the potential for a disastrous mistake using "do all" is high. > In addition my owners would like to have a "unsubscribe from all my > lists" button. And a "subscribe to all my lists" button. This might > be visually nicer, when having the two-button approach above. I wonder if your owners really want "subscribe all". "Unsubscribe all" does make sense for separations, of course, and they wouldn't necessarily be terminations. It would be useful in an internal transfer where "delete user" is not a solution. But in my experience specialized channels tend to proliferate but the same people are likely to be running them as run the department-wide lisst. > In our case we would want to (un-)subscribe the address in a "do > it, don't ask anyone" fashion, but maybe this is not a good idea in > general. What do you think? I think we would implement it similarly to the mass subscribe for multiple addresses case, where the list owner can decide how much bureaucracy to require of the subscriber. You'd want to be careful to make sure address verification is done at most once (for your use case, probably not at all). And there would be some things that could be done to arrange that most lists would have sensible defaults. > Yes, I agree, but policy here is to get rid of subdomains, and that > falls on our feet now. Well, once we figure out how to implement domain ownership, it wouldn't be hard to adapt that technology to "departments" that are administratively distinct but share mail and/or web domains. The main problem would be deciding whether and how to nest them. Superuser > domain owner > list owner > moderator is pretty obvious, but how "department owner" would fit in is less so.

Find a smtp server to send out emails
by Leon March 12, 2025

March 12, 2025

Hi, This problem is not caused by mailman, but I still want to give it a shot here. I'm hosting a mailing list on top of mailman3. Emails are supposed to be sent out by AWS ses. However, ses requires that sender address must be verified, which leads to a problem that emails sent by subscribers to mailing list cannot be sent to other subcirbers, since their addresses are not verified. And it is impossible to verified every subscriber. Are there smtp service providers allowing unverified email address to send out emails, or do I have other solutions? Thanks. -- Best wishes, Leon

Help! Duplicate DKIM key
by Jose Bernal March 11, 2025

March 11, 2025

Hi all, I'm having *sudden* issues with our SMTP server (Amazon SES) erroring out while trying to send from our most active Mailman3 mailing list (~1,000 subscribers; modest Mailman3 (v 3.3.3) installation (10+ lists, Ubuntu). Here is the message. We've got several thousand log entries like this now: *554 Transaction failed: Duplicate header 'DKIM-Signature'* Mar 10 08:31:10 mail1 postfix/smtp[217753]: 738B53F15E: to=< brian(a)brianmichaelslaw.com>, relay=xxx.org[44.225.xxx.xx]:587, delay=37, delays=2/35/0.16/0.13, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host said: 554 Transaction failed: Duplicate header 'DKIM-Signature'. (in reply to end of DATA command)) As we don't do any DKIM key signing on the related Postfix machine I've opened up a case with Amazon. However, if there is a troubleshooting I should adopt on this issue with regard to Postfix/Mailman I'd like to know what your recommendations are, or what steps I can follow to better help the vendor ensure that this issue isn't coming from either the Postfix machine or the Mailman machine. Much thanks, --------------------- José Bernal Web/Application Engineer

Owner is the primary target group for that. But since it should be a tool for managing subscriptions in a simple way, it might also be of interest for superusers.

In our case we would want to (un-)subscribe the address in a "do it, don't ask anyone" fashion, but maybe this is not a good idea in general.

How to process emails with Mailman3?
by Kyle Lahnakoski March 11, 2025

March 11, 2025

Good day! I am setting up an email list for my local community (just myself right now). Being a nerd, I am using Amazon SES to send and receive emails. I have mailman installed on ec2 (using "pip install mailman") and it is working well enough to send an email to the list with /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman inject -f <somefile>all(a)mymaillist.org SES is putting incoming mail into an S3 bucket, one file per email. Using a small python program, I use the above command to send them to the list. When I add a user (like myself) I get a welcome email from all-request(a)mymaillist.org. When I respond, the mail arrives in the S3 bucket, but I do not know how to give it to mailman3. The "inject" command will not work because there is no "all-request" mailing list. How do I feed these administrative mails to mailman3? Thank you. ----- I have tried netcat the email to the ?LMTP? port, but it fails: (venv) [ec2-user@ip-10-0-3-253 mailman]$ nc localhost 8024 < /tmp/pbTw1oqmV1rZtHXV707Jcov264hr 220 ip-10-0-3-253.ec2.internal GNU Mailman LMTP runner 2.0 500 Error: command "RECEIVED-SPF:" not recognized 500 Error: command "AUTHENTICATION-RESULTS:" not recognized 500 Error: command "" not recognized 500 Error: command "" not recognized 502 5.5.1 Too many unrecognized commands, goodbye. here is what the first few lines of an email file look like.

Moderation of held emails vs. spam
by David Krantz March 11, 2025

March 11, 2025

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

Postorius Suggestion: Give owner a view of all users of all owned lists
by Andreas Vetter March 10, 2025

March 10, 2025

Hi, it would be real great if owners that own several lists, but are not superusers, can see all users of all *their* lists and manage them. A down-"selected" version of the superusers view. Use case is an organisation (here are the superusers) with sub-organisations (here are the owners, e.g finance, research, production) having lists for the very sub-org itself and its sub-sub-orgs (e.g. research-all, research-solar, research-wind, research-battery). Would that be possible? -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Andreas Vetter

Bad Request 400 error with nginx/uwsgi install of venv
by zachr＠mta.ca March 10, 2025

March 10, 2025

Hello, and thanks in advance for any assistance. I followed the installation guide at: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html# I opted to use nginx and uwsgi. I can access mailman in the browser at https://SERVER_IP/mailman3 but when I try to use the hostname I get an nginx 400 bad request error. It seems like there is an issue with the nginx proxy. I used the example config and updated the required information: --------------------- server { listen 443 ssl default_server; listen [::]:443 ssl default_server; server_name HOSTNAME_OF_SERVER; location /static/ { alias /opt/mailman/web/static/; } location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; } ssl_certificate /etc/pki/tls/certs/our_certificate.crt; ssl_certificate_key /etc/pki/tls/private/our_key.key; } --------------------- I thought maybe that because Im using uwsgi I should try the ngx_http_uwsgi_module and uwsgi_params in the nginx config, but that did not work, or I didnt use the correct syntax. Not sure what to try next!

Bug Report - REST API
by Peter Knowles March 6, 2025

March 6, 2025

OS: Debian 12 Mailman Core: 3.3.10 Install Method: venv When I apply the "count" and/or "page" param on: /3.1/lists/name.sub.domain.tld/requests This resulted in a "404 Not Found" error from the REST API. If I remove the params, the API returns results. From what I read in the docs, pagination should be possible on this type of endpoint as it returns "entries", "start" and "total_size". Tests against: /3.1/domains /3.1/lists Works fine with the "count" and "page" param as expected.

Hyperkitty Replies showing up as new posts

Hello, my Hyperkitty is creating a new post for each reply in a thread. I would expect that new posts to a list would show up in the archive and once you click on that thread you would see all replies. However in my Hyperkitty each reply to a thread shows up as its own post usually with the subject line saying RE: Original Message. How can I set up Hyperkitty to behave more like the lists.mailman3.org archives where replies to topics are filed under their respective threads? Thank you, Paul 'Arte Chambers' Robey 502-408-6922

Set member.moderation_action via REST API as part of message approval?
by Andy Matthews March 5, 2025

March 5, 2025

We're using Mailman 3.3.9. My team and I have written a simple UI for displaying and approving/rejecting held messages from non list members. When an email receives an "always accept" flag from the UI we call the API to pass in the requested information: ``` Form form = new Form(); form.param("action", "accept"); Entity<Form> data = Entity.entity(form, MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED_TYPE); String safePath = UriBuilder.fromPath("lists/{listId}/held/{messageId}").build(listId, messageId).toString(); response = getTarget().path(safePath).request().post(data); ``` If that request is successful we update the `accept_these_nonmembers` property of the mailing list with the user's email. ``` Form form = new Form(); if (fieldValue.getClass().isArray()) { for (String val : (String[])fieldValue) { form.param(property, String.valueOf(val)); } } else { form.param(property, String.valueOf(fieldValue)); } Entity<Form> data = Entity.entity(form, MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED_TYPE); response = getTarget().path("lists/" + listId + "/config").request().method("PATCH", data); ``` The result of these two API calls is that both the subscribers and nonmembers properties of the mailing list are updated to include the new email (let's call it abc(a)123.com) The user can immediately send another email which is not held for moderation. The issue comes when a different nonmember sends an email and is approved (let's call it xyz(a)789.com) For some reason this blows out the "always accept" status of user abc(a)123.com and requires their email to be approved again. After some research I believe this is because the `accept_these_nonmembers` property has been deprecated (which seems valid because that property remains an empty array). Additional reading seems to indicate that we can now set `moderation_action` on each individual user which supercedes the mailing list's `default_nonmember_action` property (in our case it is `Action.hold`). The docs indicate that I should be able to submit a patch request to update the moderation action for any user: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/rest/docs/… But it requires the user ID. And when trying to get the user_id for a nonmember it appears that it is not returned by the API. The following call: `/3.0/addresses/abc(a)123.com` returns ``` { "email": "abc(a)123.com", "original_email": "abc(a)123.com", "registered_on": "2025-03-03T19:18:35.169703", "self_link": "https://0.0.0.0:8001/3.0/addresses/abc@123.com", "http_etag": "\"92c44d0b3b323450f3576e6352acb59b4cc5d6f0a\"" } ``` So I'm not sure how I would be able to update this particular record without a member or user id. So, all that said, I'm looking for information on how to do one of the following. 1. When submitting a user's email to the `accept_these_nonmembers`, is there a way to indicate that the `member.moderation_action` should be a specific value? 2. Retrieve a nonmember record and have it include a member or user id that I can use to explicitly update the `member.moderation_action` value? There may of course be additional approaches that I'm not considering, but that's about the gist of it. Thoughts?

How to follow up to a question on a Mailing List

Hello listers, I always find some members' posts to MM3 lists breaking threads to an extent no one can easily figure out what portion of the discussion they were responding to.

Please refer to http://www.lemis.com/questions.html#answer/ The guide was written decades ago by a very respectable member of the FOSS community for freebsd-questions ML, but it's a guide that is pretty standard for every ML.

However I got no errors during (venv) $ pip install -U mailman postorius django-mailman3 hyperkitty mailman-web Log here[2] Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Archive download - unexpected end of file
by Mark March 2, 2025

March 2, 2025

Hi, I have a MM3 list to whose archive I recently added an mbox file of older emails. Viewing/searching the archive (Hyperkitty) is working fine. Downloading archives "for the month" or "last 30 days" delivers the expected ".mbox.gz" file and those are fine. However, when I download the "Entire archive" and attempt to gunzip that ".mbox.gz" file I get the error: " ... unexpected end of file". Or using Gnome desktop's "Extract", I get the error "..truncated gzip input" Any tips on resolving this would be gratefully received. Best, Mark

Hyperkitty django.request forbidden
by Arpad Horvath March 1, 2025

March 1, 2025

Hi, I moved from mailman to mailman3 in 2021. I hadn't have the time to fix the archiving. I can see the emails older then that in Hyperkitty, but none of the once still there is mailman3. What can be the problem? It's a Debian 12, I use the packages from the repo. In the mailman-web.log I can see this: [pid: 861|app: 0|req: 8277/8277] xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx () {40 vars in 636 bytes} [Wed Feb 26 06:47:31 2025] GET /hyperkitty/api/mailman/urls?mlist=korus%40lists.somewhere.xx = > generated 221 bytes in 33 msecs (HTTP/1.1 403) 7 headers in 211 bytes (1 switches on core 1) ERROR 2025-02-26 06:47:31,705 861 hyperkitty.views.mailman Access to the archiving API endpoint was forbidden from IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, your MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_FROM setting may be misconfigured WARNING 2025-02-26 06:47:31,705 861 django.request Forbidden: /hyperkitty/api/mailman/urls WARNING 2025-02-26 06:47:31,705 861 django.request Forbidden: /hyperkitty/api/mailman/urls I have this line in /etc/mailman3/mailman-web.py MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_FROM = ('https://lists.somewhere.xx/hyperkitty', '::1') I have the Archiving settings: Archive policy is Private archives At Active archivers hyperkitty's checkbox is checked Archive rendering mode is Plain text I have these packages installed right now: ii mailman3 3.3.8-2~deb12u2 ii mailman3-full 3.3.8-2~deb12u2 ii mailman3-web 0+20200530-2.1 ii python3-django-mailman3 1.3.9-1 ii python3-mailman-hyperkitty 1.2.1-1 ii python3-mailmanclient 3.3.5-1 Thanks, Árpád

Postorius extremely slow on some of the mailinglists
by Eric Broens March 1, 2025

March 1, 2025

Hi, Postorius became extremely slow recently on some of our mailinglists, but not on all of them. Postorius even times out when opening some of them (https://<hostname>/postorius/lists/<mailing_list>.<domain>/) and shows the message "Mailman REST API not available. Please start Mailman core." This only happens when I am logged in (as administrator), but not when I am not logged in. It seems to be independent on the number of subscribers on the particular mailing list. Below you'll find an extract from the logs for a case where it timed out, and for a case where the page showed up after a long time. Mainly "GET /3.1/lists/<mailing_list>@<domain>/requests HTTP/1.1" takes a long time. There is nothing unusual going on regarding database queries, and mails are delivered normally. Any idea why this happens and how it can be solved?

Postfix + MariaDB + Mailman 3 Core
by Peter Knowles Feb. 28, 2025

Feb. 28, 2025

== ENVIRONMENT == OS: Debian 12 Mailman Core: 3.11.2 Install Mode: venv == QUESTION == I'd like to do a more advanced setup with regards to my MTA setup. *** I have mastered the art of setting up Mailman 3 Core to use MariaDB vs PostgreSQL *** What I'm after is the ability to make use of MariaDB with: transport_maps local_recipient_maps relay_domains In particular, with regards to Mailman 3 Core generated content. So instead of referencing a postmap generated file which MM3 presently generates, but have MM3 add and/or remove those records to/from a MariaDB table. Appreciate any insights on this task.

Postorius custom web forms?
by Johannes Rohr Feb. 28, 2025

Feb. 28, 2025

Dear all, I am trying to understand how to replace a web template used by postorius by a custom version. I need to replace /accounts/signup by a version with a captcha (using django-simple-captcha) because my instance is being overrun by spambots. Can anyone point me to the correct instructions? I've tried to get instructions for chatgpt and co, but that's totally hopeless. Most of what they say is made up and doesn't work.. Cheers, thanks so much in advance, Johannes

Easy way to integrate captcha/reduce subscription spam?
by Johannes Rohr Feb. 25, 2025

Feb. 25, 2025

Dear all, my mailman3 instance is flooded with subscription spam, yet I haven't found any canonical method of integrating a captcha in to the subscription form. Is there really none at all? Perplexity.ai says I should install the python package django-simple-captcha but is unclear about the steps needed to actually make the captcha appear. Are there other ways? Is there any method that is robust and survives upgrades? Also, would there be a way of batch-deleting all those thousands of spam registrations that have accumulated (what they have in common is that their email is unconfirmed) Thanks in advance for any suggestion! Johannes
