archives html user interface menu selection retention after refresh
by Ken Alker 29 Jun '23

29 Jun '23

I have just started studying the archives feature and I've noticed that if I select "Most Active" in the top menu and then I refresh my browser, the refreshed screen jumps back to Recent after the refresh. In fact, if ANY of the five menu items across the top are selected and then a browser refresh is performed, the result is that one is always taken back to the Recent menu item. It was not apparent to me for a couple of days that this was happening and I'd convinced myself there was some bug in the Recent vs. Most Active lists because the Most Active list changed entirely after I did a refresh, when, in fact, I was then viewing the Recent list again. Confusing. Is there some way that whatever menu item was being viewed before a refresh could be retained so that the same menu item is shown after a refresh? Thinking this through even further, I suppose a side-affect of this request could be that visiting the same page much later (ie. not immediately after a refresh) may result in the page NOT defaulting to the Recent menu item any longer (unless once could clear the "last menu item" memory when the viewer moves AWAY from or closes the page). I don't have enough familiarly with the interface to suggest if this would be a bad side-effect, or good, but would this, indeed become a side-affect that would have to be thought through?

How do I specify the TCP port number for Postgresql?
by kjohnson＠eclypse.org 28 Jun '23

28 Jun '23

The mailman.cfg file on the system I am working on includes this line: url: postgres://mailman3:mailman3:@localhost/mailman3 This works fine as long as the postgresql server is at the default port number of 5432. How do I specify a different TCP port number? My guess is that a change to this line is needed, but unfortunately, it is not obvious to me how to make that change, and I have been unable to find this information in the mailman3 documentation or in a previous mailing list post. Feel free to point me at the documentation or post that I have overlooked. Thanks, Ken

Archive date/time vs elapsed time
by Mark 28 Jun '23

28 Jun '23

Hi In the archive's "Recent", "Most active" etc displays, the date and time of each post is shown. However, when viewing by "Thread" listing, each post shows the elapsed time since it was posted ie. the number of days, hours since it was posted (eg. 1 day, 2 hours). Is it possible to set Hyperkitty to display the "Thread" listing with the date/time in place of that elapsed time? Thanks Mark

Postorius claims 2 messages held when there are none - out of sync
by Ken Alker 27 Jun '23

27 Jun '23

When I view a list via Postorius the "Held Messages" menu item has an inverse-red-"2" next to it, as if there are two held messages. There are, in fact, no messages in "/opt/mailman/mm/var/queue/*" (assuming the held messages should be in "pipeline" subdirectory). When I click on "Held Messages" I get "Something went wrong" followed by "HTTP Error 500: {"title": "500 Internal Server Error"}". How do I fix this?

Message is received but is not sent out. Another, similar message, is processed fine.

Hi all, One of my subscribers is trying to send a message to a list, but it is not being posted. The smtp.log shows that her first message was posted, but a second message (with 2 retries) was not: mailman@list:~/logs$ grep herName smtp.log Jun 18 11:22:05 2023 (1243316) ('127.0.0.1', 56686) >> b'MAIL FROM:<herName(a)hotmail.com> SIZE=40109' Jun 18 11:22:05 2023 (1243316) ('127.0.0.1', 56686) sender: herName(a)hotmail.com Jun 18 11:25:01 2023 (1243318) <CH3PR12MB82593510B90D8F05177C606BBE5EA(a)CH3PR12MB8259.namprd12.prod.outlook.com> post to theList(a)domain.tlc from herName(a)hotmail.com, 40061 bytes Jun 18 11:52:42 2023 (1243316) ('127.0.0.1', 48448) >> b'MAIL FROM:<herName(a)hotmail.com> SIZE=18343' Jun 18 11:52:42 2023 (1243316) ('127.0.0.1', 48448) sender: herName(a)hotmail.com Jun 18 19:01:04 2023 (1243316) ('127.0.0.1', 59550) >> b'MAIL FROM:<herName(a)hotmail.com> SIZE=19123' Jun 18 19:01:04 2023 (1243316) ('127.0.0.1', 59550) sender: herName(a)hotmail.com Jun 26 17:18:11 2023 (1243316) ('127.0.0.1', 44732) >> b'MAIL FROM:<herName(a)hotmail.com> SIZE=18930' Jun 26 17:18:11 2023 (1243316) ('127.0.0.1', 44732) sender: herName(a)hotmail.com At the second retry she copied me and I saw nothing untowards in her message. She's not getting any error return messages and her subscription is OK. Both messages were multipart/alternative and both contained Hebrew text. I told her I'd look at this, but I'm at a loss. Yours, Allan

Problems after upgrading from bullseye to bookworm
by Eggert Ehmke 27 Jun '23

27 Jun '23

I upgrade my server to bookworm. In the process python was upgraded from 3.7 to 3.9 . I reinstalled the virtualenv and the mailman packages. When I now start mailman-web, I get this in web/logs/uwsgi-error.log: pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'flufl.lock>=4.0' distribution was not found and is required by hyperkitty What did I miss? ___________________________________________ Mailman's content filtering has removed the following MIME parts from this message. Replaced multipart/alternative part with first alternative.

attachment.html
by Sam Darwin 27 Jun '23

27 Jun '23

Hi, Using a typical modern email client such as Gmail, the messages are usually html formatted. Then, Hyperkitty displays attachment.html on every message. Can that be removed? I was searching for the topic "attachment.html" in the archives and there wasn't much information. What finally cracked the code was Mark's comment: If in Postorius on the list's Settings -> Alter Messages page, Filter Content and Convert html to plaintext are both Yes, the HTML should be converted to plain text and that should appear in HyperKitty. It turns out "Filter content" affects many settings. It's easy to skip over that. I wonder if the UI might call attention somehow, with a graphic element, or with text: "Settings on this page will not take effect. Because 'Filter content' has not been enabled". It is right that "Filter content" must be set in order to remove attachment.html ? And now, a search will have more results. :-)

clicking on a username when viewing a thread results in "Page not found"
by Ken Alker 27 Jun '23

27 Jun '23

If I click on a username when viewing a thread, it returns "Page not found" then "This page either doesn't exist, or it moved somewhere else.". Any idea why this may be happening? Also, why is it that some usernames are not clickable (ie. black text with no hyperlink)? Thanks! Ken

old usernames appearing in mailman.log
by Ken Alker 27 Jun '23

27 Jun '23

I have just migrated from a mailman 3.2.2 Debian package installation to a mailman 3.3.8 source install (in a Python virtual environment as mailman user) on an Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS system. Several months ago, the system had been upgraded from mailman V2 to mailman V3.2.2. The server has been active for over 20 years. I've just taken on the project so I'm new to all of this, and one thing I noticed that caught my eye, and has left me curious, is that for the first a couple of seconds starting just after midnight every night (just after log rotation) mailman.log would have many (dozens, or hundreds) of lines entered in it just like this one: Jun 19 00:00:04 2023 (2266) 127.0.0.1 - - "GET /3.0/users/old-user(a)domain.tld HTTP/1.1" 404 58 where "old-user(a)domain.tld" is the email address of a user who either had unsubscribed or changed their email address (I don't know which, I just know they are no longer a member/subscriber to the list). Each successive entry in the log would have a different "old username" in it. I don't understand why these entries would be in the log and what they mean. Can someone shed some light on this for me? This is merely a question of curiosity, and not one of import. (Since migrating from 3.2.2 to 3.3.8 this behavior has stopped, be that GOOD or BAD.) Ken
