mailman stopped working, it shows active (exited)

Hi, it’s been quite a while since I’ve been back to the list, mailman has been working very well for me But recently it has stopped working. I’m not exactly sure what I did to cause this. I’m not seeing any clear error message. Running on Ubuntu linux, I don’t quite remember how to determine my mailman version. Here’s the status info sudo systemctl status mailman.service ● mailman.service - LSB: Mailman Master Queue Runner Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/mailman; generated) Active: active (exited) since Wed 2020-08-19 07:38:59 PDT; 13min ago Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8) Process: 2351 ExecStop=/etc/init.d/mailman stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 2386 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/mailman start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Aug 19 07:38:59 relay1 systemd[1]: Starting LSB: Mailman Master Queue Runner...

Invalid confirm text
by w.schoener＠alp.dillingen.de Aug. 19, 2020

Aug. 19, 2020

Hi there, I am new to mailman 3, python and django. I try to configure a mailman 3 list. To establish german text, I used the web-admin interface of mm3 in the "templates"-section. I inserted a text for "The message sent to subscribers when a subscription confirmation is required" Now, when I try to subscribe to the list, I get my first message in german language, with the confirm request: return the message unchange. When I return the message, I get an answer: Invalid confirm text. My request is pending. And there is no way to solve this pending request, in the webinterface, no subscription request is shown, no member is shown and no no-member is shown. Have you any hint, what is going wrong. What do I have to respect to create a message, where the confirmation is working. Thank you Wolfgang

Single-Sign-out for List member
by w.schoener＠alp.dillingen.de Aug. 17, 2020

Aug. 17, 2020

Hello, I have to configure mailman 3 for a german company. The privacy policy in our country demands for mailing-lists, that its member can sign out in one step, it is called sigle-sign-out. So I would like to ad a link in the footer of every message, with which every receiver/member can sign out of the newsletter with one click. It does not seam to be possible, to put this into effect with mailman 3. Does anybody have any hints, how to create a link, and when this link is called, the user is signed out of the newsletter. Thank you, Wolfgang

base64 re-encoding and line endings
by David Bremner Aug. 15, 2020

Aug. 15, 2020

I (along with some other admins) run a mailman3 (3.2.1, on debian stable) mailing list for notmuch (https://notmuchmail.org) It's our main method of reviewing, so we get lots of mail from git-send-email. Occasionaly people send it with Content-Transfer-Encoding 8bit. As far as I can tell what happens then is mailman3 re-encodes it as base64, taking the line endings as CRLF. git-am is unable to apply the patches that have been re-encoded. This seems somewhat related to [1]. Like one commentator there, I would be happy to be able to turn off the re-encoding, although I have the feeling from playing with the python email libraries that this might not be that easy. I'm writing in hope that someone can suggest another workaround, perhaps some kind line-ending rewriting before base64 encoding. I guess with 8bit transfer encoding there probably isn't a clear distinction between the line-endings on the wire, and the intended line-endings for delivery, but it could be inferred from the "X-Mailer: git-send-email" header. As a test, I sent the same patch through our mailman instance with Content-Transfer-Encoding base64 and that applies fine, since the original \n line endings are inside the base64 container. It's a known mis-feature of git-am that it can handle either CRLF line endings or base64 encoding, but not the combination of both. I have a local workaround involving re-formatting the patches, but I'd really like anyone to be able to apply the patches from the list archive. [1]: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/269

Announce Only List
by joseverde＠gmail.com Aug. 14, 2020

Aug. 14, 2020

So if we want to make a list announce only (e.g. only specific folks) can post, I've found I can set the list settings to automatically discard messages from members and non-members. Then I go into the individual permissions on each user to be allowed to post without moderation. This works fine, however it seems cumbersome. My expected solution was to make the announce only members moderators - however it appears being a moderator does not give any special ability to post to the list (nor does it appear to make you a 'member' from the point of mailman when sending messages to the list, since a moderator who is not a subscriber gets treated like a nonmember from the posting permissions perspective). Is this correct?

[OMISS] ./archives Where are the e-mails? Can I import them into Hyperkitty? Thanks, Marco

How to Unshunt Specific Message ?
by Shashikanth Komandoor Aug. 12, 2020

Aug. 12, 2020

Hi Team, I am currently running Mailman 3 with version 3.3.1 and in built postfix version 2.10.1-6 on RHEL 7.5 in production environment from the past 3 months almost. I learnt how to unshunt the messages that got unshunted in mailman 3. But the command *mailman unshunt* would unshunt all the messages in the shunt queue. I want only a specific message to be unshunted and resent. I don't find my requirement reached with the help of *mailman unshunt*. Please suggest. -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936 <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>
