Things I miss about mailman2
by Quanah Gibson-Mount March 24, 2020

March 24, 2020

Now that we are on mailman3, I'm finding things that were really useful in mailman2 are completely missing in mailman3, which seems odd, since they in particular affect the ability of list moderators to do their job well. a) When a post was made to a moderated list in mailman2, I would get an email that included a LINK to the held email. Now I just get a canned email saying I need to go to the dashboard, blah blah. Why was this link removed? It was extremely useful and now I have to jump through extra hoops. b) When a post is made to a moderated list in mailman2, when I went to the page to approve/deny/discard, there was additionally an option to remove the moderated flag from the user for all future emails. This option no longer exists. This was EXTREMELY useful, as we force all new members of the list to be moderated for a time while we evaluate the quality of their postings. Now I have to go manually track down the user and their settings. Unnecessary extra hoops to jump through c) When a post is made to a moderated list, one of the options when selecting REJECT was it allowed me to set a custom message when rejecting the email. This was extremely useful. For example today, someone emailed our bug tracking list directly instead of filing a bug. In the past, I would have added a note to them about what they should do (in this case, I would have told them to send their email to our community technical discussion list). Now I can no longer do that, I can only reject it or discard it. Why was this removed? --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Product Architect Symas Corporation Packaged, certified, and supported LDAP solutions powered by OpenLDAP: <http://www.symas.com>

Xapian alternatives
by Andrew Bernard March 24, 2020

March 24, 2020

Are there alternative search engines to Xapian that can be used for Mailman 3? I have come to understand that Xapian development stalled in the v2.0 attempt.

Now I am seeing this in the log every few seconds: 12:12:29 [Q] INFO Process-1:4 processing [rebuild_thread_cache_votes] 12:12:29 [Q] ERROR Failed [rebuild_thread_cache_votes] - Thread matching query does not exist. : Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django_q-1.0.1-py3.7.egg/django_q/cluster.py", line 377, in worker res = f(*task['args'], **task['kwargs']) File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/HyperKitty-1.2.3-py3.7.egg/hyperkitty/tasks.py", line 189, in _rebuild_thread_cache_votes thread = Thread.objects.get(id=thread_id) File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Django-2.1.9-py3.7.egg/django/db/models/manager.py", line 82, in manager_method return getattr(self.get_queryset(), name)(*args, **kwargs) File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Django-2.1.9-py3.7.egg/django/db/models/query.py", line 399, in get self.model._meta.object_name hyperkitty.models.thread.Thread.DoesNotExist: Thread matching query does not exist.

I am having a lot of trouble with these sort of errors, as you will see from my flurry of posts recently. Yes, I am running all the jobs. Andrew

Finding a user to delete them
by Quanah Gibson-Mount March 17, 2020

March 17, 2020

Due to a bug in mailman3, I have an incorrect user that's been created via github auth that has no confirmed email address yet. I've been poking around the user manager documentation (why is there no UI for user management???), and after adding in bits that are missing from the official documentation (<https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/model/docs/usermanager…> is missing "from mailman.testing.documentation import dump_list" despite using dump_list repeatedly in its examples) I can't find the user. I have the confirmation email mailman3 sent out, that tells me the username mailman3 created for the incorrect account is "quanah98", but the user manager documentation doesn't detail how to find a user by their username, only their email. And apparently if the email hasn't been confirmed (and I *do not* want it confirmed), you can't find them by email. Suggestions on how to track down this user so I can delete them would be much appreciated.

Add old email address
by Quanah Gibson-Mount March 14, 2020

March 14, 2020

We've recently migrated our project's email lists from mailman2 to mailman3. Given the project has been around for a few decades, many people have used different email addresesses over the years, some of which they no longer have access to. However, it would be useful to still be able to associate those emails with a given account. Is there a way that I can do this as an administrator of the mailman3 system?

Using REST api to subscribe member
by Brian Carpenter March 11, 2020

March 11, 2020

I have a development server that only has Mailman core installed on it. I used a virtual environment to do the installation but I did not install Postorius or Hyperkitty as I am currently working on developing a custom u.i. for Mailman 3. My programmer said the following: "I have a problem with mailman on development server ... I was trying to add member to a list using REST api, but to no avail. After I tried all possible and impossible things, I finally looked at the logs. Error I found in log file is: IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/mailman/templates' I guess mailman was looking for a template for welcome mail, and failed for some reason. I also guess this has something to do with locale or language settings I tried googling, but couldn't find anything" The log that gave the error was /opt/mailman/mm/logs/mailman.log My programmer tried it on another server that has both Postorius and Hyperkitty working and the api call worked, i.e. added the member to the list and sent out a welcome email. So what else do I need to install to be able to use the api to add members to a list using a non-postorius interface? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks, Brian

Greetings, I do have mailman 3 installed via virtualenv and it is up an running. Now I'd like to create a mailing list, but I can't find any instructions how I should do this. Is there a resource online I missed? If not, can anyone on this list tell me how to do it preferrably using a command line tool?
