I have now done production installations of Mailman 3 on this server (lists.mailman3.org) and mail.python.org. I've attempted to document this experience at <https://wiki.list.org/x/17891998>. Suggestions for improvement and/or direct edits on the wiki are welcome. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

[MM3-users]Request for assistance for fresh install of Mailman 3.0.3 and Python 3.4
by Rubén Rivero Capriles 01 Jun '16

01 Jun '16

Hello World! Very nice to meet you all this afternoon! In order to avoid compatibility issues, I reinstalled CentOs 7. Firewalld, Apache and BIND are operational. I also installed Python 3.4 at http://www.codeghar.com/blog/install-latest-python-on-centos-7.html; however I understand that Python 2.7 is still available and am confused about usage of each version. I downloaded the tarball for mailman 3.0.3. I will greatly appreciate if you quickly let me know how to install it. I do not wish to use mailman bundler.

Hi Simon, Richard and Mark: Thanks for directing me to man crontab. I'm sure I'll work the issue out within reasonable time. Yes, indeed awstats reads postfix logs, the main reason I'm installing it is because it's helpful for analyzing website traffic. There are limitations: for example, there is an Apache GeoIP plugin for matching IP addresses with countries. My IP address and domains are registered in the USA but I live in Venezuela and my websites, although being bilingual, are very geared to Venezuelan issues. Probably millions of other people worldwide share this kind of background. So how effective is it to rely on those statistics anyway? I look forward to comparing awstats with Mailman Daily Status Report. I was honored to receive an email today from Thomas Woerner of Fedora, chief developer of the firewalld project, requesting to the Firewalld Users Discussion list to download today's release of 0.4.2. It is supposed to have fixed the various bugs we have recently dealt with. Which method should I use to download it? Am interested in upgrading firewalld immediately because the old version conflicted with ebtables and my OS python 2.7 got confused because of that last week. You have taught me to be be careful about managing simultaneously Python 2 & 3 or Mailman 2 & 3. Here are enclosed details of firewalld upgrade. My installed version of firewalld is 0.3.9 and yum doesn't provide any updates. Until yesterday both 0.4 and 0.4.1.2 were available from sources; and 0.4.2 was released today. "Thomas Woerner <twoerner(a)redhat.com> <twoerner(a)redhat.com> Para Firewalld users discussion list <firewalld-users(a)lists.fedorahosted.org>Firewalld development list <firewalld-devel(a)lists.fedorahosted.org> Hoy a las 14:44 The new firewalld version 0.4.2 is available with several enhancements, bug fixes and huge speed ups. The main changes of firewalld-0.4.2 are New transaction model --------------------- Changes are done in one big transaction instead of smaller ones. This speeds up firewalld start and restart tremendously. The start is done up to in six or nine calls to the restore commands depending on the configuration. This depends on ipset and also direct configuration usage. Also all other actions benefit from this change. Enhanced handling of connections and interfaces ----------------------------------------------- For interfaces that are handled by NetworkManager, requests to add or change bindings are directed to NetworkManager in the firewall-cmd and firewall-config tools. For interfaces on Fedora and RHEL systems that are not handled by NM, there is a new mechanism that changes the ifcfg file if there is one using the interface. This makes zone interface bindings more consistent. Usability enhancements for firewall-config ------------------------------------------ firewall-config has a new side bar with the active bindings of connections, interfaces and also sources. With this side bar it is possible to change the binding assignments in a simple way. A new overlay message window if the connection to firewalld could not be established or if it is lost. Speed ups for view changes runtime to permanent and back by introduction of new D-Bus methods in firewalld. The resize behavior has been fixed to be more expected. Enhanced runtime to permanent migration --------------------------------------- The enhanced migration is not saving interfaces that are under control of NetworkManager to the permanent configuration. Zones, services etc. are only migrated if there are changes compared to current permanent configuration. New ICMP block inversion ------------------------ The ICMP block is now completely handled per zone. With the new ICMP block inversion flag in the zone it is possible to invert the ICMP block. That means that the enabeld ICMP blocks are allowed and all others are blocked. In a drop zone these remaining types are dropped and not blocked. The logging of denied rules have been added to icmp-blocks. Source port support in zones, services and rich rules ----------------------------------------------------- Additionally to ports is it also now possible to allow source ports in a zones and also in a service in a similar way as existing ports. There is a new flag source-port for this. Source ports can also be used in rich rules as elements. The source ports can be combined with logging, limiting and also an action. Rich rules with destination only* *------------------------------------- Destination addresses can now be used in rich rules without an element. This enabled the use of rich rules containing destination addresses combined with an action and logging only. There are also several other bug fixes or enhancements and code optimizations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The new firewalld version 0.4.1.2 is available here: https://fedorahosted.org/released/firewalld/firewalld-0.4.2.tar.bz2 Also on github: https://github.com/t-woerner/firewalld/releases/tag/v0.4.2 And in the github repository: https://github.com/t-woerner/firewalld/ <https://github.com/t-woerner/firewalld/> <https://github.com/t-woerner/firewalld/tree/v0.4.0> _______________________________________________ Rubén Rivero Capriles http://www.rubenrivero.net (blog global - español) http://www.rroopstr.com (global blog - English) http://www.riverocooper.com (art & mining)

[MM3-users]Is is possible to allow all users Create List functionality?
by Carrie Knox 27 May '16

27 May '16

Hello, My company is evaluating mailman3 as an option for a company internal list server. One of the requirements is that any registered user be allowed to create and maintain lists. Is this possible? If so, how? Does a "create list" role need to be added as a default role during account creation? Thanks, Carrie

[MM3-users]mailman 2 vs. mailman 3: what happened to multipart/digest?
by John Hein 14 May '16

14 May '16

Digest delivery in mailman 2 encapsulated the individual message/rfc822 messages in a multipart/digest container. This allowed email clients to show the messages in the particular digest in a threaded view. It seems like the various digest options that I have tried [1] in mailman 3.1.0 (as implemented for the fedora-users mailing list) no longer encapsulate messages in multipart/digest. Is this intentional? Is it a bug - feature that was lost in translation from 2 to 3? Is there a delivery option I'm missing that will turn that back on? [1] Mime Digests & Summary Digests - I didn't see any difference for those two options. Here is a sample of mime types that I used to get with mime digest delivery in mailman 2 (notice the multipart/digest): Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============1472225091712365472==" Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Type: multipart/digest; boundary="===============6619260109017411105==" Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; format=flowed Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=001a11c3cab0b7b2d5052f6fcd1e Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 . .

[MM3-users]Sass and where to find core rest logs
by Andrew Hodgson 05 May '16

05 May '16

Hi guys, Finally got a server I can mess about with MM3 on. Only took a year :(! Anyway, I have compiled Mailman3, and the web interface is coming up. Bringing up the list of lists initially gave me an exception, and I saw a 5xx error in the mailman.log file in /opt/mailman/var/logs. I read up on this and as a result downgraded Falcon<1.0 in the Python 3.4 venv. I am still unable to browse the list of lists with a 500 error, only this time I am not getting an entry in the mailman.log indicating there is an issue, and I am wondering if there are more detailed logs that can be switched on? The other question I have is on Sassc. I believe the default Mailman web interface has now switched to the Ruby implementation of Sass, but is this correct? The documentation on the Mailman-Bundler site seems to suggest that Sassc is still the default. Thanks, Andrew.

[MM3-users]Moderation Emails & Page
by Douglas R Taber 21 Apr '16

Hey All- Having a bit of a problem, hoping maybe someone can provide some insight. I’m running the current MM3 from the bundler on RHEL7, and most things seem to be working properly. However, when i go to the moderation queue from the web interface, i’m presented with a 500 error instead of a page listing the messages being held. The error in the log (and on the page if i enabled debug) is: ERROR 2016-04-20 14:58:05,959 base 3256 140375419246336 Internal Server Error: /mailman3/lists/listname/held_messages Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 132, in get_response response = wrapped_callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/decorators.py", line 22, in _wrapped_view return view_func(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/postorius/auth/decorators.py", line 77, in wrapper return fn(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/postorius/views/list.py", line 413, in list_moderation paginator_class=utils.MailmanPaginator) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/postorius/utils.py", line 89, in paginate results = paginator.page(1) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/postorius/utils.py", line 62, in page number = self.validate_number(number) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/paginator.py", line 39, in validate_number if number > self.num_pages: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/paginator.py", line 86, in _get_num_pages if self.count == 0 and not self.allow_empty_first_page: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/postorius/utils.py", line 75, in _get_count result = self.function(count=1, page=1) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mailmanclient/_client.py", line 681, in get_held_page return Page(self._connection, url, HeldMessage, count, page) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mailmanclient/_client.py", line 333, in __init__ self._create_page() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mailmanclient/_client.py", line 363, in _create_page self._connection, entry['self_link'], entry) KeyError: u’self_link' Anyone have any insight on what be causing the error? Thus far it only seems to be this page that is causing the issue, and only when messages are actually being held in the moderation queue. Semi-related, is there anyway to include the link to the moderation page from the moderation emails, similar to MM2? Thanks.

Hi folks I was speaking to someone last night on the IRC chat room @ http://webchat.freenode.net/ who suggested sending an email to this address to try and find a solution to my issues. I have been trying to get Mailman 3 installed on an Ubuntu 14.04 server. I thought I had followed the instructions from https://wiki.list.org/DEV/Mailman%203.0/Mailman%203.0%20Suite%20Install%20o… and http://mailman-bundler.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ but am getting an error 500 when I try and browse to http://x.x.x.x:8000/mailman3. I can open http://x.x.x.x:8000/archives and the login button seems to work, but when I click manage lists I get an error 500 again. The entire process I followed is below: * sudo apt-get update * sudo apt-get install git python3-dev python3-pip python-dev python-pip python-virtualenv * sudo apt-get install nodejs npm * sudo npm install -g less * sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node * created new user 'mailmanuser' * 'mkdir /opt/mailman' * 'sudo chown mailmanuser:mailmanuser mailman' * 'su mailman' * 'cd /opt/mailman' * git clone https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-bundler.git * virtualenv -p /usr/lib/python2.7 venv * source venv/bin/activate * changed password in mailman_web/testing.py * cd mailman-bundler * pip install zc.buildout * buildout * sudo apt-get install ruby-sass * ./bin/mailman-post-update * ./bin/mailman-web-django-admin createsuperuser * ./bin/mailman start * ./bin/mailman-web-django-admin runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 I have attached the django and mailman logs and the top of the page I get back from the server I must have missed something but I don't really know where to go from here... Please can you review and advise if there is anything that I have missed? I look forward to hearing from you in due course. Any pointers greatly received.
