Subscription requests = 0 ? Bug or feature?
by Odhiambo Washington 24 Mar '23

24 Mar '23

Even though I have a "Pending confirmation" request, the total entries under the subscription requests reads zero. I thought it should read whatever the total of (pending confirmation + pending approval) is. https://imgur.com/a/jq9B44S -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft.", egrep -v '^$|^.*#' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ :-)

moving individual list to different domain
by Johannes Rohr 22 Mar '23

22 Mar '23

Dear all, on mailman2 it was possible to move a list to a different domain within the same mailman instance. I have found no information on how the same can be accomplished on mailman3. Is this possible at all? Thanks! Johannes

It would be nice to have a "Submission Date" field added to the table for both requests "pending confirmation" and "pending approval" the same way we have a hold_date for held messages. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft.", egrep -v '^$|^.*#' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ :-)

eccentric setup question
by Jeff Berry 21 Mar '23

21 Mar '23

Good morning all, we've got a somewhat eccentric setup for our mailman installation, and we're having difficulty getting some of the settings to work properly, so I'm hoping some one has some insight. Our server machine is hidden behind our firewall, with the actual machine name not availble via external DNS) and all the mail is being routed through an Exchange server. So mail to list(a)domain.com hits our exchange server, which sends it on to lists(a)listserver.domain.com The problem we're having is that if the mailman domain of the list is listserver.domain.com then spamfilters start to flag the mail since it looks like spoofing/malformed headers and so on. If the mailman domain is just domain.com then postfix rejects it with an unknown local recipient error. I though I might be able to just tweak the incoming mail headers in postfix via header_checks but that's not working, either because I've got the wrong check or it's the wrong approach, or both. postfix relay_domains might do it, I think, but if it maps listserver.domain.com to domain.com that would break the listserver domain mailing lists (I think). Is there a canonical way to do this and/or have I missed some obvious configuration option in either mailman or postfix? Kind regards, Jeff Berry jeff.berry(a)mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk

Need help setting up mailman3 on ubuntu 20.04...
by Marisa Giancarla 20 Mar '23

20 Mar '23

I'm trying to get mailman3 up on ubuntu using the debian package. I did the "apt install mailman3-full" and it does seem to have installed as both the mailman3 & mailman3-web processes are running. I can use "mailman create" in the command-line and "mailman lists" displays the lists I created. What I am having issues with is I don't see any entries in/etc/aliases, and I don't know how to access the web interface (as either admin or user). Can someone point me to what I need to do to finish it? Thanks, Marisa

problem configuring mailman3 on debian bullseye
by Servizio Informatico U.I.C.I. Sezione territoriale di Brescia 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

Hello all, I'm a blind server administrator living in Italy. I use mailman since 2010 and I was very happy for this list manager. When was released the version 3 I started to have many problems to configure it. In this days I installed a new server for my association and I have this problem that I don't know to solve. The server is a debian bullseye. I installed mailman3-full from the standard packege. I'm using nginx as web server. I configured mailman3 and mailman3-web wit https support. All is working fine, but if I attempt to subscribe someone it does not work. I send a subscription e-mail to the address list and I receive correctly the request to confirm subscription. When I reply to the request mailman log gives this error: requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /postorius/api/templates/list/listname.domain/list:user:notice:welcome (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError("hostname 'localhost' doesn't match either of 'example.com', 'www.example.com'"))) The strange thing is that I configured a domain list.example.com and in the configuration files I put this domain. Mailman3-web works fine I can create lists and make settings. Have you an idea about this issue? Thanks -- Roberto Burceni Servizio informatico sezionale Tel. 0302209417 (lunedì e giovedì mattina dalle 9:00 alle 13:00, martedì emercoledì pomeriggio dalle 14:00 alle 18:00 E-mail: servizioinformatico(a)uicibrescia.it Sito web: https://www.uicibrescia.it

Change 'from' server for outgoing messages
by Benjamin Goldberg 12 Mar '23

12 Mar '23

Hi. I'm running mailman3 on a VPS. The hostname of the VPS is not the hostname that I'm using for mailman3. The webapp is using an Apache Virtual host. I am routing outgoing emails through a third-party smtp relay. The VPS hostname is smart.bnmng.com and the mailing list hostname is 757pug.org Signup confirmation and welcome emails are working. They appear to be coming from the intended host, which is 757pug.org But emails from the mailing lists are being blocked by the smtp relay. I think it's because they are not coming from 757pug.org; They are coming from smart.bnmng.com All of the mailinglists' mail_host fields are correct, 757pug.org from mailman.cfg: incoming: mailman.mta.postfix.LMTP outgoing: mailman.mta.deliver.deliver lmtp_host: 127.0.0.1 lmtp_port: 8024 smtp_host: smtp.mailersend.net smtp_port: 587 smtp_secure_mode: starttls smtp_user: (my relay service username) smtp_pass: (my relay service password) from settings.py: DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'admin(a)757pug.org' SERVER_EMAIL = 'admin(a)757pug.org' EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.mailersend.net' EMAIL_USE_TLS = True EMAIL_PORT = 587 EMAIL_HOST_USER = (my relay service username) EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = (my relay service password) So it seems like mailman core is not using the mail_host field. How can I fix that? Thank you
