Huge performance issue: Mailman doesn't (seem to) receive any mails.

Sept. 20, 2019

I am running maxking/mailman-*:0.2 (GNU Mailman 3.2.0 (La Villa Strangiato)). It looks like Mailman is not receiving (enough) mails, but are keps in the Postfix queue and I can't figure out why. I get a lot of "mail for [172.19.199.2]:8024 is using up 7841 of 7841 active queue entries" in the postfix container log (more postfix log at the buttom. I have restarted all Mailman containers this morning, but this didn't help anything. Last entries in Mailman's smtp.log were when we restarted the containers: Sep 18 08:30:02 2019 (36) Peer: ('172.19.199.1', 35454) Sep 18 08:30:02 2019 (36) ('172.19.199.1', 35454) handling connection Sep 18 08:30:13 2019 (36) ('172.19.199.1', 35454) EOF received Sep 18 08:30:13 2019 (36) Connection lost during _handle_client() Sep 18 08:30:13 2019 (36) ('172.19.199.1', 35454) connection lost Sep 18 08:30:18 2019 (36) Peer: ('172.19.199.1', 37164) Sep 18 08:30:18 2019 (36) ('172.19.199.1', 37164) handling connection Sep 18 08:30:20 2019 (36) ('172.19.199.1', 37164) EOF received Sep 18 08:30:20 2019 (36) Connection lost during _handle_client() Sep 18 08:30:20 2019 (36) ('172.19.199.1', 37164) connection lost The runners last ran at Sep 18 08:42:21 2019 The mailman.log updates constantly, but with "Sep 18 09:45:16 2019 (39) 172.19.199.3 - - "GET /3.0/users/" something something only or other http gets. A lot of them is 404 errors, but also a lot of "GET /3.0/lists/LISTNAME HTTP 200 responces, which should not be related. In "uwsgi-error.log" I get some tracebacks, but since I don't think should be related to incoming mails, I'll leave the traceback for now.

My list has been switched from public to private archives, but they are still visible
by Paul Arenson Sept. 20, 2019

Sept. 20, 2019

Can anyone help with this? I set my list to private archives today. Up until then, it was pubic. And yet, if you go to the list page, you will see that if you click archives (top left), you can see them. (Filled with a bunch of tests posts for now) https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/postorius/lists/discuss.list.tokyoprogres… Am I misunderstanding what a private archive is? Is something wrong with my setup (which is hosted)? Thank you.

Mailing List Description that can't be modified by list owners
by chilfer＠unr.edu Sept. 20, 2019

Sept. 20, 2019

Is there a way to create an additional mailing list field or lock down the current Description or Information fields so they are not modifiable by a list owner? The goal is to have a field that identifies the department or area a list belongs to so that it's easier to find if an owner leaves the organization and the owner needs to be updated on multiple lists.

Execution of msgfmt failed when performing post upgrade steps
by Torge Riedel Sept. 17, 2019

Sept. 17, 2019

Hi, I'm currently running a test setup of MM3 using Mark Sapiros approach with two venv. I also adopted his post-upgrade-script for the web part (django). Just some minutes ago I updated the packages of my test setup with pip3 where hyperkitty is now 1.3.0 When runnin the post-upgrade-script I get the following error message: Execution of msgfmt failed: /opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/hyperkitty/locale/nb_NO/LC_MESSAGES/django.po:630: duplicate message definition... /opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/hyperkitty/locale/nb_NO/LC_MESSAGES/django.po:273: ...this is the location of the first definition msgfmt: found 1 fatal error Not sure whether this is an error of MM3 or one of its dependency packages. Best regards Torge

hosted signup is producing unexpected results
by tokyoprogressive＠mac.com Sept. 17, 2019

Sept. 17, 2019

In my test of the two forms of signup, I am getting these unexpected results. Is it my settings or is something weird within the program itself? 1) https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/postorius/lists/discuss.list.tokyoprogres… 2) Choose "You can also subscribe without creating an account. If you wish to do so, please use the form below" 3) Then I have to approve it. They get "Welcome to the "Discuss" mailing list! To post to this list, send your email to: discuss(a)list.tokyoprogressive.org 4) But I have to approve it.I assume this is because they do not yet have a real account. And they should be listed as a NON MEMBER? 5) But even when they sign up here: https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/accounts/signup/?next=%2Fpostorius%2Flist… they get an email from my provider (NOT MY LIST????) as follows: "Hello from mailman3.emwd.com! You're receiving this e-mail because user iCloud has given yours as an e-mail address to connect their account. To confirm this is correct, go to https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/accounts/confirm-email/MTE3:1iA44k:E7w7xh… Thank you from mailman3.emwd.com! mailman3.emwd.com" 6) And this is where it gets weird. If they send from their email program and get the welcome (Welcome to the "Discuss" mailing list! To post to this list, send your email to: discuss(a)list.tokyoprogressive.org You can unsubscribe or make adjustments to your options via email by sending a message to....... I then get a notice: "Your mail to 'discuss(a)list.tokyoprogressive.org' with the subject test notice Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval. The message is being held because: The message is not from a list member" 7) While if they send FROM THE interface it goes through. 8) What I am confused about. Signing up for an account should make them a member, right? Subscribing should make them a non member, no? But here it seems that both make them a non member. And worse, someone with an account sending from the Interface has their message get through while the same person sending from an email program has me get a notice that a non member is trying to post. Before I can move my actual members over from another mailing list provider, I want to make sure what works and what doesn't. Thanks. paul!!!

HyperKitty and duplicate emails across maillists
by Derek Lambert Sept. 17, 2019

Sept. 17, 2019

How does HyperKitty handle duplicate messages/message-ids across maillists? We have quite a few lists that are members of other lists. I'm in the process of importing our old Mailman 2.1 archives and seeing a lot of duplicate message errors, and wondering if this is why. Would new messages coming into Mailman be handled the same way? Thanks, Derek

Template's encoding setup
by Ugnius Sept. 15, 2019

Sept. 15, 2019

I use Lithuanian language (it has special characters like ąčįū...) for regular message template feature. I noticed that some posts come correct, but some have question marks (?) in places of these characters. Looks like there is sittings trick. But footers adds mailman, so it should be always correct, or it depends on senders environment setup? Kind regards Ugnius

Weird recipient
by Andrew Bernard Sept. 12, 2019

Sept. 12, 2019

Both before and after upgrading tonight, my lists send out bizarre recipients that I cannot understand. It usually happens at the end of the distribution to other valid recipients. Sep 5 10:05:54 www postfix/smtp[3344]: A5DF9FA14E: to=<0101016d00e302ec-4db56da5-fd69-4b5e-9327-292c55e13ea8-000000(a)us-west-2.amazonses.com>, relay=email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com[52.36.120.66]:587, delay=2.4, delays=0/0/2.2/0.22, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com[52.36.120.66] said: 501 Invalid MAIL FROM address provided (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) Help! This behaviour is able to be replicated - it happens on every post. Andrew

Alter Messages: Reply to confusion
by paul＠arenson.org Sept. 12, 2019

Sept. 12, 2019

This is one thing I am confused about. The explanations in the settings about No Munging, etc. are not completely clear. MY GOAL What I want to make sure, since this is a discussion list, is that most messages go to the mailing list, not to individuals. I plan to put something in one of the templates to remind people that a reply goes to the discussion list. If they do not want to send it to everyone, they should send to the original poster. 1) I understand there are plusses and minuses but I am not sure I understand the explanation given. If it IS preferable to use NO MUNGING, how do I make sure that this is easy to accomplish? 2) I can put something in the footer of every message to remind people, but first I need confirmation of what I should choose in this section. Thanks in advance.
