Django logins for new subscribers
by Alex McLean Jan. 13, 2018

Jan. 13, 2018

Hi all, I'm moving our groups to mailman3 (http://we.lurk.org) Enjoying it so far! I've mass-subscribed people via postorius. However the subscribers don't have django (postorius/hyperkitty) logins. It seems they only exist on the mailman side, not the django side. If they go through the process of creating an account in postorius, they can configure their mailing list subscriptions, but this is a bit fiddly. Is this expected behaviour? It would be great if they could be sent a temporary link to set a password and go. Best wishes, alex

hyperkitty connection issues
by Dmitry Makovey Jan. 11, 2018

Jan. 11, 2018

I'm using docker-based deployment of mailman. things appear to be functioning for the most part, but recently I've started getting reports from users stating that mail from *some* subscribers to the list gets queued for moderation with reason "n/a". Not sure if that's related, but I've also noticed that my logs are filling up with Connection to HyperKitty failed: ("Connection broken: ConnectionResetError(104, 'Connection reset by peer')", ConnectionResetError(104, 'Connection reset by peer')) (full dump: https://gist.github.com/droopy4096/1538d34ed7b6709252e8c3e82aaca69d ) what's the best angle to troubleshoot this situation? Note: I have restarted containers within the last 24 hours and still am observing above behavior (both mail issues and connection issues in logs) -- Sr System and DevOps Engineer SoM IRT

Hyperkitty import from mailman2
by Sten Aus Jan. 3, 2018

Jan. 3, 2018

Hi I have installed mailman3 - it looks very great! Now I wanted to try import from mailman2 mbox, so i did: python2 manage.py hyperkitty_import --settings settings --ignore-mtime -v 3 --since 2010-01-01 -l test(a)list.domain.com /tmp/test.mbox It shows that it have sucessfully imported all emails and I can see them from database (sqlite3), but I cannot see them from GUI (hyperkitty). Only thing I can see is this inactive "test" list. I have tried that I create list before importing, still same result. All new emails are archiving to another lists (which are not imported, but new installations). Any help is appreciated! All the best Sten

Postorius 1.1.2 security release
by Abhilash Raj Dec. 29, 2017

Dec. 29, 2017

Hi Everyone, I am pleased to announce that Postorius 1.1.2 is released and is up on PyPI[1]. This release fixes a security bug that sets the password of a user in Core to their display name. It is recommended that you upgrade to this version. Postorius (Django) and Mailman Core both have different notion of "user" and "password". When a user account in created in Postorius, it creates a user in Core using the REST API. This bug, causes the password of user created in Core to be set to their display name instead. However, as of now, there are no use cases of the user password in Core and it is present only for historical reasons. So, while this bug is a serious one, it wouldn't result in any real-world exploit. Along with the bug-fix, this release includes a new command that resets *all* user passwords in Core to a random value. Again, there are no use cases of these passwords so resetting *all* of them isn't going to cause any inconvenience to users. This command should be run after the upgrade: $ cd mailman-suite/mailman-suite_project/ $ python manage.py reset_passwords Python 2.7 is the only supported Python version for this release. All versions of Django <=1.11 is supported. For more information about GNU Mailman and Postorius, please see our website: http://list.org The source code is available on Gitlab: https://gitlab.com/mailman/ [1]: https://pypi.org/project/postorius -- thanks, Abhilash Raj

Schedule for a resolution of #406, #410 and #437
by Henrik Rasmussen Dec. 15, 2017

Dec. 15, 2017

I was wondering when #406<https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/406>, #410<https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/410> and #437<https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/437> could be fixed. It seems that it would not be far, as !322<https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/merge_requests/322> is ready to be merged. On another note, why doesn't mailman3.org seem to be affected by these problems, with so many members wide spread across the world, when I have at least three lists with only 1794, 646 and 317 members affected by it. -- Henrik Rasmussen <her(a)adm.ku.dk<mailto:her@adm.ku.dk>> University of Copenhagen, Danmark

help for new installation.
by claudio.jofre＠yandex.com Dec. 12, 2017

Dec. 12, 2017

Hello everyone. A few days ago, I am trying to install and configure mailman 3, in a Centos7. and the truth has not been achieved. I am already a little desperate. I'll tell you First I install the hyperkitty-el.repo repository and install mailman 3, hyperkitty and postorius. Initially when reviewing and making some minor modifications to the mailman configuration file, the service apparently rises without major problems. The problem occurs when I try to configure the web interfaces. Initially the apache server did not start, with a series of errors. Following the instructions of the document published here: http://www.admin-magazine.com/Archive/2015/29/Mailman-3.0-a-long-time-comin… I managed to eliminate the initial errors, which prevented to raise the Apache server. However, when trying to access the web pages, in the case of hyperkitty, I get an error 500 with an "internal server error". In the case of postorius, I get an error 403 forbidden. In the mail, I receive a log, with the following content: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/ usr / bin / django-admin", line 5, in <module> management.execute_from_command_line () File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 354, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute () File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 303, in execute settings.INSTALLED_APPS File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 48, in __getattr__ self._setup (name) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 44, in _setup self._wrapped = Settings (settings_module) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 92, in __init__ mod = importlib.import_module (self.SETTINGS_MODULE) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/importlib/__init__.py", line 37, in import_module __import __ (name) ImportError: No module named settings In the Apache logs, it also shows the following: [Mon Dec 11 21: 48: 41.875069 2017] [authz_core: error] [pid 15333] [client my-client-ip: 33584] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: / etc / postorius / sites / default / srv when I execute the command: django-admin check throws me the following: django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting DATABASES, but settings are not configured. You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings. checking the ports, I can see that python has open ports 8000 in 127.0.0.1, and 8001 in external ip, for more than I have looked for information, documentation, etc, about the procedure of the installation. all the documentation I found, part of the premise of an installation, clean from git, by pip, but none from the yum and rpm. So it is difficult for me to determine what to apply, and what not. apparently no one has installed, or has had problems in the installation from repositories, or I am omitting some step (most likely) that I could not determine. the bad thing, is that in postfix, I have everything configured, with digital signatures, so I would not like to lose all that work, as to start with an installation from 0. If you can help me, it would be very helpful. since I made the request of help in another list, of dev, to which it is supposed that the consultations should be made, according to the historical mails, but I never received answer. Of course, thank you very much for any help and guidance they can give me.

Re: Starting new thread in Postorius -> disappears
by Cameron Smith Dec. 12, 2017

Dec. 12, 2017

I would suggest that there is something very broken here: there seems to be a problem with communication between the email system (mailman core…?) and HyperKitty. On November 21, I sent the message below, as a part of this very thread, to Thor and cc’d the mailman 3 list. But the message never showed up in HyperKitty [1]. I don’t know if other list members received it in their email inboxes or not. Thor obviously received the message (it was addressed to him directly), because he referenced it in a message that is in the archives [1]. However, I never received an email copy of his message from the list. So, what’s going on? What baffles me is that more people are not complaining about this. Is it just that no one has noticed? Or is it some subtle misconfiguration in my system? And in Thor’s apparently. And maybe in the lists.mailman3.org system as well.

Postorius: Dropdown menus problem
by Thor Atle Rustad Dec. 5, 2017

Dec. 5, 2017

In my latest iteration I installed Maxking docker-mailman by downloading the files (git clone https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman.git) and building the images myself by modifying docker-compose.yaml like this: services: mailman-core: container_name: mailman-core build: context: ./core dockerfile: Dockerfile-alternate Same thing goes for mailman-web. Only modification was changing the uid/gid in the images to make it equal to the local user on the host. Now a few things are not working. In Postorius <server>/postorius/lists/<listname>) there is a menu row (Subscription requests|Held messages|Members|Settings|Mass operations|Banned addresses etc). The two items Members and Mass operations should normally show a drop-down menu when clicked, but here nothing happens. Same thing for the Admin menu (can't access Logout, amongst other things). In Hyperkitty, messages are not loaded properly. In various places on the page I see spinning discs indicating something is loading, but nothing happens. Any ideas? Thor

Setting up Admin Account
by Pierre Abbat Dec. 1, 2017

Dec. 1, 2017

So I installed a crontab for list and read about configuring the DB (I think I'll use SQLite). I got to http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-web.html . Because of the dollar sign, I assume that the commands are to be run as list. Here's what I did: root@lists:~# ls root@lists:~# sudo list sudo: list: command not found root@lists:~# su list This account is currently not available. root@lists:~# ls /var/list ls: cannot access '/var/list': No such file or directory root@lists:~# locate mailman-suite_project root@lists:~# mkdir /var/list root@lists:~# chown list.list /var/list root@lists:~# su list This account is currently not available. root@lists:~# man su root@lists:~# su -s /bin/bash list list@lists:/root$ cd list@lists:~$ cd mailman-suite_project bash: cd: mailman-suite_project: No such file or directory list@lists:~$ mkdir mailman-suite_project list@lists:~$ cd mailman-suite_project list@lists:~/mailman-suite_project$ python manage.py createsuperuser python: can't open file 'manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory list@lists:~/mailman-suite_project$ locate manage.py /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/conf/project_template/manage.py /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/conf/project_template/manage.pyc /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/example_project/manage.py /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/example_project/manage.pyc /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/falcon/bench/dj/manage.py Which manage.py should I use?

Where are the subject templates hidden?
by Thor Atle Rustad Nov. 29, 2017

Nov. 29, 2017

Using Docker. Suppose I've overcome https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/359 and I can make Mailman use the templates/site/no directory for my customized templates. Yes, it seems to be working, no hickups when national characters are used in the templates. but... the welcome message still says "Welcome to the "listname" mailing list" in English. Is it possible to change that?

LMTP not listening
by Bartosz Sawicki Nov. 25, 2017

Nov. 25, 2017

Hi everyone :), This is my first post in this group, so let me thank all of the developers for incredible work with Mailman3. Special congratulations goes to new project leader, Abhilash :) I've been using Mailman2 from over 15 years, and recently decided that it is time to upgrade. For several days I'm playing with all of the components of the system. Currently everything looks to be working nicely :) Mailman-core, Mailman-suite (Postorius, Hyperkitty) installed directly, not using docker containers. The last step was integration with MTA. I've configured Postfix and Mailman-core according to: https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/mta.html#mailman-… But messages send to the list address are not delivered to the list :( I've started to investigate whats happening and realize that Postfix can not connect to mailman using LMTP. It seems that mailman is not listening on port 8024. Nov 24 13:12:31 lists postfix/lmtp[2737]: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:8024: Connection refused I've checked log files, but haven't realize anything unusual . Any ideas where I could try to find cause of the problem ? My mailman.cfg file MTA section: [mta] incoming: mailman.mta.postfix.LMTP outgoing: mailman.mta.deliver.deliver lmtp_host: localhost lmtp_port: 8024 smtp_host: localhost smtp_port: 25 regrds.

Understanding solved issues in Running releases of Docker-mailman
by Henrik Rasmussen Nov. 24, 2017

Nov. 24, 2017

Newbie-question: This is more or less a GitHub / GitLab question, but specific to Mailman. Now using Running releases<https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/blob/master/README.md#rolling-rel…> of Docker-mailman (and in general using Docker-mailman), I am wondering, how I can tell which issues having been solved in each release? My goal is to understand when issues like (currently, but not limited to) Mailman-core issues #256<https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/256>, #322<https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/322>, #359<https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/359> (all which states Closed in the Mailman-core Issue log) and Mailman-core issues #406<https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/406>, #410<https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/410> and MR !322<https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/merge_requests/322> (which all states Open) have been solved and included in the Docker-mailman latest running release and normal release. I pulled the latest Running release<https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/blob/master/README.md#rolling-rel…> today, but as I have never been able to recreate the problems (above stated issues) my users experienced on several lists, I would like to make sure they have been solved, before I make a new attempt migrate my Mailman 2 lists to Mailman 3. -- Henrik Rasmussen <her(a)adm.ku.dk<mailto:her@adm.ku.dk>> University of Copenhagen, Danmark

Time Stand Still
by Barry Warsaw Nov. 23, 2017

Nov. 23, 2017

Somewhen in the dark recesses of intarweb history, I found myself as the project leader for both Jython (née JPython) and GNU Mailman. I'd been involved with Jython since it was invented by Jim Hugunin around the time he came to work with us at Pythonlabs. I'd been contributing to Mailman since we inherited John Viega's Python-based Dave Matthews Band list server, and put it to use replacing python.org's Majordomo installation. I'd enjoyed both projects, but knew I could not lead both, so I had to make a choice. I chose to turn over Jython to a team that's done a much better job over the years than I ever could have. Something about email, and especially the communication and collaboration patterns that it facilitates, really fascinated me. I know, I know, but we all have our lapses of sanity. Mine has lasted almost 20 years, a bit more than "momentary" perhaps. I've rarely gotten paid to work on Mailman, but it did provide me some great opportunities. Most notably it led to my 10 year stint at Canonical. I was originally hired on there to integrate mailing lists with Launchpad, and Mailman was the obvious choice. I learned a ton doing that project, and working within the constraints of integrating the two Python-based systems, especially since Launchpad was originally not free software and Mailman was GPL'd. Later, the Zope-based Launchpad source code was released under the AGPL, making much of the monkeypatching unnecessary, but by then the system was solid and reliable, and you don't fix what's not broken. Except, I guess I did. I took a lot of the lessons from that work, along with a good hard look at all the problems with Mailman 2, and began to break another cardinal rule of software development: second system syndrome. The result is Mailman 3. It took forever, and we're still not at complete feature parity with Mailman 2, but at least it's Real Enough to be used at many Real Sites, including python.org and lists.fedoraprojects.org. It would be ridiculous for me to take significant credit for this. I have to acknowledge the amazing user community -- you! -- for all the support, patches, suggestions, feedback, patience, criticism, donations, and contributions that you've given to the project, and to me personally over the years. And my deepest gratitude goes to all the core developers that have stayed or come and gone, but most especially the current Cabal: Abhilash Raj, Aurelien Bompard, Florian Fuchs, Mark Sapiro, Stephen J. Turnbull, Terri Oda. You should know that each and every one of them is truly awesome, both in what they contribute technically, and in their amazing friendships. Mailman is infinitely better because of their involvement, and I've loved spending time with them over the years at the Pycon sprints, making releases and sharing teas and meals. My blog is called We Fear Change, and that's humorously taken from a 90's bit in Mike Myer's excellent Wayne's World movie (a phrase actually uttered by the brilliant Dana Carvey as Garth). The irony of course is that while we all may fear change, it's the one constant thing we can count on. And in fact, we *require* change to thrive, because if you aren't changing, you aren't alive. Time, and being engaged with life's vagaries, means there's no alternative to change; it must be embraced. And so, with a vague reference to the many (good!) changes in my personal and professional life, I'm announcing that I'm stepping down from the project leadership role of GNU Mailman, effective... nowish! And it's with unanimous agreement among the GNU Mailman Steering Committee (a.k.a. the Mailman Cabal), that we are announcing Abhilash Raj as the new project leader. If you don't recognize Abhilash's name, you probably aren't paying attention, at least to Mailman 3. Abhilash came to us in 2013 as a Google Summer of Code student, and he's become one of the project's most valuable contributors. His list of accomplishments is long, and it includes everything from redesigning the website, to integrating CI with our GitLab build system, porting our code to the SQLAlchemy ORM, adding MySQL support, revving up adoption through his Docker images, along with his great coding work on Core, Postorius, HyperKitty, and mailmanclient. This transition is good for the project too. Email, its defining protocols and standards, and its role in our daily lives, has changed profoundly since the early days of Mailman. A fresh perspective and enthusiasm will help keep Mailman relevant to the changing ways we -- especially the FLOSS and tech communities -- communicate. Please join me in supporting Abhilash in every way possible as he takes over in this new role as project leader. I'll be here when and if needed, even as I create space in my "spare" time for... Something Else. I look forward to the vision that Abhilash will bring to the project, and I know that he will do a great job. To me, Mailman has always been about collaboration, and the best way for it to succeed is for you to continue to contribute your insights, experiences, opinions, and skills with positive intention. -Barry https://www.wefearchange.org/

Starting new thread in Postorius -> disappears
by Thor Atle Rustad Nov. 22, 2017

Nov. 22, 2017

I have had this working before, so I guess it's a simple setup error. When I send a message from the Postorius interface, it is neither sent out or stored. I briefly see this message: "Your reply has been sent and is being processed.", and then nothing happens. I have installed maxking's docker-mailman and copied my old setup with basic stuff like passwords and such. The only new thing is that I'm now running in userspace by putting in /etc/subuid and subguid: mailman:10000:65536 and in /etc/docker/daemon.json: { "userns-remap": "mailman" } So I get the following ownership in /opt/mailman: drwxrwsr-x 3 10100 10000 4096 nov. 21 09:00 core drwx------ 19 10070 10000 4096 nov. 21 09:27 database drwxr-sr-x 5 10100 10101 4096 nov. 21 09:24 web (I have created a user named mailman with uid 10100 so, in reality, it says "mailman" there instead of 10100 but I guess that is irrelevant here)

Rolling releases for Container Images and Funding Campaign for Mailman
by Abhilash Raj Nov. 14, 2017

Nov. 14, 2017

Hi Everyone, As you all know I have been working on container images for Mailman 3. We now have a new "rolling" tag for both mailman-core and mailman-web images. These images have latest source installed for every Mailman component. You can find more information about them on the website [3]. New images are available on quay.io and, moving forward, the rest of the image builds will also be moved to Quay[4][5]. These images are built using git-heads *only* if they are passing our test suite and are re-generated weekly. You should be aware that while all these components are tested with their individual test suites, their combination might sometimes not be stable. This will get you updates/bug-fixes much faster :) As most of you already know, Mailman 3 is the new and improved version with extra features, better security and much better architecture. We released Mailman Suite 3.0 in April 2015 and have come a long ways since then. Mailman Suite 3.1, release May 2016, was aimed to provide feature-parity with Mailman 2.x series and we think we _almost_ hit that goal. Apart from no monthly password reminders, Mailman 3 has a much better Administrator/User interface, REST API for scripting, a really awesome archiver, support for multiple domains, support for external plugins, support for SSO/social login and so much more! I love working on Mailman and would enjoy being able to do so full time for next 6-8 weeks. Mailman 3 is not very far from becoming the default version everyone would use, but it still needs some work to get there. I need help from you, the users of Mailman, to get us there. If you or your organization would like to move to (or, already moved to) Mailman 3, I urge you to donate[1] to us. There are options to donate using Credit Card, Paypal, Bitcoin, Wire Transfer (of any currency), Check and money order. If this campaign succeeds, here is a road map of what I intend to get done: - Move Django apps(UI/Archiver) to Python 3 (or bilingual) - Fork `mailman import` command to provide an upgrade path to Mailman 3.x from Mailman 2.x - Fix MySQL compatibility in Core - Changes in Postorius: - Add support for missing options that are already exposed in Core’s API - e.g. Support for setting templates - Find the commonly used options that are not exposed in Core, add them to Core's API and add to Postorius - Add Admin Dashboard project from GSoC 2014 (maybe?) - Add better testing of container images and provide deployment instructions for Kubernetes & Docker Swarm - Improve the container images to work with new micro-services architecture, to achieve scaling and redundancy in services. - Administrator/User documentation for Postorius & Mailman - (optional) Fork [mmcli](https://github.com/rajeevs1992/mailmancli) project from Rajeev, fix if there is anything missing and add it as an additional command line tool to work with Mailman Core. Maybe pull it under Mailman umbrella. Except for these, if there is something more important that is preventing the adoption of Mailman 3 from your end, we can discuss them. I'd like to mention that I have been working on Mailman 3 for quite some time now and I intend to implement every single item on the list. You donations would help it get done much sooner, hopefully in time for 3.2 release schedule (at PyCon US 2018). You can follow the progress of this campaign here[2].

Django 2.0 (and newer) requires Python 3; how about archiver and list handler Django apps?
by ddw David Wilson Nov. 13, 2017

Nov. 13, 2017

Hi all; LTS Django version 1.11, the last supporting Python 2.7, was released earlier this year. I noticed that in December 2017, Django version 2.0 will be released, which apparently will require Python 3.X Taken from the Django web site, 'We recommend using the latest version of Python 3. The last version to support Python 2.7 is Django 1.11 LTS.' Given that the utilities to archive and also handle email lists are both Django applications, which apparently have *not* yet been updated to Python 3, if I understand correctly? *This leads me to wonder if this presents a problem moving forward and staying compatible with the current versions of Django (in addition to Mailman 3.0)?* Many thanks in advance for any light you can shed in this area. Best regards. Dave Wilson

I have the same issue on mail.python.org where we have both Mailman 2 and Mailman 3 lists @python.org. and python.org is a virtual_alias_domain. I have a group of MRs for a branch that implements "alias_domains" to deal with this. Basically it works by creating another (virtual_alias_maps) postfix_vmap mapping to map list addresses @python.org to addresses @x.python.org. Then the postfix_domains and postfix_lmtp maps have the x.python.org domain and there is a patch to mailman/runners/lmtp.py to map the x.python.org domain back to python.org. The various MRs are <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/merge_requests/202> for the core, <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailmanclient/merge_requests/18> for the REST bindings used by Postorius and <https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/merge_requests/186> to be able to set an alias_domain via Postorius. That's not all implemented at mail.python.org. What's there is the basic Postfix config, a bash script the generate the new mappings from the old and a simple patch to mailman/runners/lmtp.py. So, the bottom line is it can be done and it's in process, but it won't really be supported until Mailman 3.2. In the mean time, you just need to have a separate domain for your lists that isn't a virtual_*_domain. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

HyperKitty: discussions not updating, misreporting stats
by Cameron Smith Nov. 13, 2017

Nov. 13, 2017

These are a couple of HyperKitty issues that I have talked about in August [1]. I’ve been doing a bit more experimentation in the last few days and am reporting my findings. The two issues are: — Missing messages: HyperKitty doesn’t show all of the messages in a discussion - Misreporting of discussion statistics: HyperKitty doesn’t update the number of participants and comments in a discussion I’m using the latest Docker setup. Neither of these issues are solved by updating or rebuilding indexes: sudo docker exec mailman-web ./manage.py update_index sudo docker exec mailman-web ./manage.py rebuild_index However, if I stop and then restart the containers (sudo docker-compose down; sudo docker-compose up -d), the discussion statistics are updated and properly display the number of participants and comments in all discussions. This does not, however, solve the problem of missing messages. I have discovered two methods of displaying the missing discussion messages: add a new message to the thread in HyperKitty; I’m not convinced that this works *every* time, but it at least works *most* times run the yearly cron job; this seems to work *every* time: sudo docker exec mailman-web ./manage.py runjobs yearly [1]: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… Cameron Smith

configuring moderators per list
by Dmitry Makovey Nov. 7, 2017

Nov. 7, 2017

We're trying to configure moderator per list and so far we were only able to add "superuser" accounts that can handle "Held messages", "Members", "Banned addresses" etc. Is there a way to create special account per-list to manage some of the aspects of particular ML without giving them all the permissions that Superuser comes along with? In MM2 there was a ML password that moderator/list admin would use to login to perform operations. Current setup allows list admins to add/delete existing lists which is not desired. -- Sr System and DevOps Engineer SoM IRT

Message shows up individually but not in the thread
by Marvin Gülker Nov. 4, 2017

Nov. 4, 2017

Hi, I've just observed something weird. While some users were testing the new mailman setup, the reply did not make it into the corresponding thread, but is still associated with it. That is, the message does not show up in the thread page at[1]. However, the reply is visible if requested individually[2]. Now what's weird is that in [2] there's a link at the top that says "< thread" that takes one to [1], so there is some kind of association appearently made but only in one direction (the reverse one). mailman.log has this to say: Nov 03 17:22:31 2017 (498) ACCEPT: <1fa6f9e1-254c-e999-42d0-9a6cc263020d(a)openmailbox.org> Nov 03 17:22:32 2017 (507) 127.0.0.1 - - "GET /3.0/users/sydneyjd(a)openmailbox.org HTTP/1.1" 200 305 Nov 03 17:22:32 2017 (495) HyperKitty archived message <1fa6f9e1-254c-e999-42d0-9a6cc263020d(a)openmailbox.org> to https://lists.secretchronicles.org/hyperkitty/list/tsc-users@lists.secretch… The mailman-suite log contains: INFO 2017-11-03 17:22:32,910 14330 hyperkitty.views.mailman Archived message <1fa6f9e1-254c-e999-42d0-9a6cc263020d(a)openmailbox.org> to https://lists.secretchronicles.org/hyperkitty/list/tsc-users@lists.secretch… This looks to me like a bug. The OP of that thread sent the same message to our other mailinglist[3] (where he did not get a reply), so Mailman may has been confused by that.

Hyperkitty Missing Theme/Style Sheets?
by Andrew Hodder Nov. 1, 2017

Nov. 1, 2017

I have an odd one, my Hyperkitty is functionally working fine (archived several lists without issue, can login/out), however I must have done something wrong during it's setup as it's layout is completely broken (and it keeps throwing Example.com up in the top-left corner). See attached. I'd run into a similar issue with Postorious when I first set it up, but I can't recall what fixed it. Any ideas to what needs correcting? Thanks.

Oct. 27, 2017

I installed postorius and hyperkitty with pip and ran into another problem. I ran "mailman info" and got "No path configuration found: paths.master".

Hi, we are trying to figure out what is that we're doing wrong as we can't use instructions that mailman sends with information on held messages as referenced in: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/blob/master/src/mailman/chains/hold.py#L… In particular - replying to the message with "Approved: listpassword" we were not able to approve any message. Since there's no place we could find in interface to change ML password I did it through the mailmanclient: ml=client.get_list('mylists(a)lists.some.com') ml.settings['moderator_password']='password123' ml.settings.save() after which we've used above password trying to approve messages following the steps outlined above.

Hello, I understand I cannot increase the message size limit in Postorius (yet). But is there another way to adjust it? Simon

Re: Mailman core: basic internationalization howto?
by David Krantz Oct. 6, 2017

Oct. 6, 2017

Hi. This is far short of a howto: I have done something similar for one of my lists, although for Swedish. I just added custom templates for all things necessary and set the default language for the list to "sv" for Swedish. It worked without setting the language on the list but then any non-ASCII characters in the template caused mailman to crash and lose the mail without any warning if you send a HTML-formatted message. But it works just fine for pure text messages, I guess as the character set in my test mail was something compatible. I think I filed an error for this. The language for the list can be set via the "mailman withlist" command (or in the database directly, but I have not tried that). I run a relatively new version of mailman, after 3.1. Without Hyperkitty. // David On Wed, Oct 4, 2017 at 10:55 AM, Thor Atle Rustad <thor.rustad(a)gmail.com> wrote: > I would like to use Norwegian in the welcome/subscribe/unsubscribe/confirm > etc messages from mailman3.

Getting connection refused on postfix trying to connect to mailman-core:lmtp
by Dmitry Makovey Oct. 6, 2017

Oct. 6, 2017

I've got a setup where postfix runs inside one VM(container) and mailman runs inside another one (maxking containers). I've wired everything according to docs yet I'm getting: postfix/lmtp[266]: 66A72800A87: to=<somelist(a)lists.here.stanford.edu>, relay=none, delay=0.5, delays=0.48/0.01/0/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to mailman-01.stanford.edu[1.2.3.4]:8024: Connection refused) is it something I'm missing on mailman side or postfix side (like this post suggests: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/365 )? Note: I've configured TLS on postfix side but none on mailman side. Is that the issue? -- Sr System and DevOps Engineer SoM IRT

WSGI configuration
by Loring Oct. 5, 2017

Oct. 5, 2017

So I am starting to install mailman3 and following the documentation and am up to the point of configuring the wsgi. The docs give me a config to use (see below) [uwsgi] # Port on which uwsgi will be listening. http-socket = 0.0.0.0:8000 # Move to the directory wher the django files are. chdir = /path-to-django-project-directory/ # Use the wsgi file provided with the django project. wsgi-file = wsgi.py # Setup default number of processes and threads per process. master = true process = 2 threads = 2 # Drop privielges and don't run as root. uid = 1000 gid = 1000 # Setup the django_q related worker processes. attach-daemon = ./manage.py qcluster # Setup the request log. req-logger = file:/path-to-logs/logs/uwsgi.log # Log cron seperately. logger = cron file:/path-to-logs/logs/uwsgi-cron.log log-route = cron uwsgi-cron # Log qcluster commands seperately. logger = qcluster file:/path-to-logs/logs/uwsgi-qcluster.log log-route = qcluster uwsgi-daemons # Last log and it logs the rest of the stuff. logger = file:/path-to-logs/logs/uwsgi-error.log Where does this config go? Does in go in the mailman3.cfg? Any help would be appreciated. -- Richmond Loring rloring(a)bnl.gov Advanced Systems Engineer

Mailman core: basic internationalization howto?
by Thor Atle Rustad Oct. 5, 2017

Oct. 5, 2017

I would like to use Norwegian in the welcome/subscribe/unsubscribe/confirm etc messages from mailman3. For my current project I want all future mailing lists to have Norwegian as default. I find some sporadic info on the subject, but it's fair to say that I would like some simple instructions (e.g. what to copy from where to where, and which configs to change).

Uncaught runner exception: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

When held mails are released in Mailman (maybe also mails which are not held) they are sometimes not sent nor archived, as mentioned in https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… One of my list admins reported that he released two mails on Sep 25 07:20:48 2017 UTC, and only the first was sent to the members.

question about recommended postfix configuration
by Marc Sluiter Oct. 2, 2017

Oct. 2, 2017

Hi, im trying to setup mailman and have an issue: first my environment: - I’m running postfix etc with "mailcow-dockerized": https://mailcow.github.io/mailcow-dockerized-docs/ - I’m running mailman with "docker-mailman": https://asynchronous.in/docker-mailman/ I got almost everything working besides confirm mails (see my other mail), but I had to use another postfix configuration than recommended, I’m wondering why the recommended way didn’t work. Sidenote: I’m not a postfix expert. This is recommended: transport_maps = regexp:/opt/mailman/core/var/data/postfix_lmtp local_recipient_maps = regexp:/opt/mailman/core/var/data/postfix_lmtp relay_domains = regexp:/opt/mailman/core/var/data/postfix_domains This didn’t work, all mails to mailman were rejected. Postfix did not even check the “local_recipient_maps”. After a lot of reading that made sense to me, because when I understand it correctly, “local_recipient_maps” is only checked for domains in “mydestinations”. And there I only have localhost. My first change then was to use “relay_recipient_maps” instead of “local_recipient_maps”, because the domains were also added to the relay configuration "relay_domains". That worked. But then I noticed warnings by postfix about having the same domain in “virtual_mailbox_domains” and “relay_domains”. Made sense again because I used the same domain in my “normal” mail setup (with “virtual_mailbox_domains”) and in mailman. So finally I ended up with adding the mailman files to “virtual_mailbox_domains” and “virtual_mailbox_maps” instead of “relay_domains” and “local_recipient_maps”. Do my findings and changes make sense to you? Or do I miss something important? Good thing is that at least “transport_maps” worked for whatever configuration I used :) Thanks and greetings, Marc

default language ignored
by Marc Sluiter Oct. 2, 2017

Oct. 2, 2017

Hi, one last question for now: how do switch the language of the mails sent by mailman? I have this in my configuration, but without effect: [language.de] charset: iso-8859-1 [language.de] description: German [language.de] enabled: yes [mailman] default_language: de Is it also possible to change the language for a single list? Greetings, Marc

Confirmation email bounces because of listname+something@example.com
by thor.rustad＠gmail.com Oct. 2, 2017

Oct. 2, 2017

I'm sure this is a small configuration error, but I have followed the instructions for mailman3 and postfix. Basically mailman works fine, but confirmation emails, when answered by the subscriber or would-be subscriber, fails because 'listname' (after the '+something' is stripped off) is not a local user. Also see my post to the postfix group: http://postfix.1071664.n5.nabble.com/address-extension-fails-for-mailman-td…. Mind you, the postfix local_recipient_maps=regexp:/path/postfix_lmtp will correctly match any of the lists, but once the <+something> is added to the listname, it fails. Note that I have configured a subdomain, klubb.domain.com, for my mailing lists.

"spoofing" mailing list address
by Dmitry Makovey Sept. 29, 2017

Sept. 29, 2017

Hi, We're trying to migrate from 2.1.x to 3.1. In the process we want to modify old setup in which mailing lists were part of our normal mail domain (so both user accounts and ML would be under @x.stanford.edu) in new scenario we want to move ML into @lists.x.stanford.edu, yet preserve addressing compatibility with old naming scheme. To that end we thought of making following setup: list(a)x.stanford.edu -postfix:alias-> list(a)lists.x.stanford.edu however in this setup users will receive mail from the "unknown" domain for them so any filtering they've done will break. Is there a configuration change we can make for those old ML to spoof old ML emails? so they would look as if they came from list(a)x.stanford.edu ? -- Sr System and DevOps Engineer SoM IRT

Mailman only send some release messages to the subscribers
by Henrik Rasmussen Sept. 28, 2017

Sept. 28, 2017

I have three list admins each maintaining one list, thus three lists: E, H and S. All reports that some mails they release from Held messages are sent, some isn't. In the logs (Mailman smtp.log and postfix log I can confirm that at least one of the lists (E) sent out another message to 559 recips at Sep 26 09:31:12 201 (UTC+2) so something is working. The admin of list E explains that she have released mails that came out, but some mails isn't sent when she reases them. Among others a mail she released Sep 26 09:38. I can also see in the Mailman Postfix log that Mailman received a mail from the Admin's e-mail address sender(a)foo.bar.

mailman-cli tools

I've come across mailman-cli docs: http://mailman-cli.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailmanclient/cli/docs/usin… yet I cannot figure out what's the official source for the installation. Rabbit hole of links lead me to https://github.com/rajeevs1992/mailmancli which suggests: sudo pip install mailman.client and that doesn't work. I also did: pip install mailmanclient in hopes that it comes with CLI tools, but it looks like it is only the library. Am I looking in wrong places or is it that mailman3 cli tools are "not there"? -- Sr System and DevOps Engineer SoM IRT

HyperKitty: Thread matching query does not exist

Upgrade path

Sept. 23, 2017

Hi. I currently run MM3.0 based on the old bundle installation. It seems to work just fine although with a number of minor and major annoyances that probably have been fixed now. What is the rekommended way to upgrade to the newest version? (newest _usable_ version, of course)? Is it docker-only with a migration from the current solution to a docker based? If so, any ideas or pointers on how to go about this? Cheers // David

mailman 3 adding extraneous /var/ to pid path?
by Andrew Hodder Sept. 21, 2017

Sept. 21, 2017

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if I've configured something I'm unable to find doing this. But when I'm attempting to stop my mailman3 process, I keep getting an extra /var/ appending into the pid path, so it never finds the PID to terminate. Here are some examples, run at different times, some with different -C configs to launch, all worked successfully to start, this is only a problem on the stop.: (venv3) [root@mailman3(on1) venv3]# mailman stop Shutting down Mailman's master runner PID unreadable in: /opt/mailman/venv3/var/master.pid [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/opt/mailman/venv3/var/master.pid' Is the master even running? (venv3) [root@mailman3(on1) var]# mailman stop Shutting down Mailman's master runner PID unreadable in: /opt/mailman/var/var/master.pid [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/opt/mailman/var/var/master.pid' (venv3) [root@mailman3(on1) var]# mailman stop Shutting down Mailman's master runner PID unreadable in: /opt/mailman/var/etc/var/var/master.pid [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/opt/mailman/var/etc/var/var/master.pid' I keep getting around this by creating symlinks to the pid file and then the stop works, but it's getting silly. It seems like mailman just assumes CWD + /var/ + master.pid must be the location. Once I realized this, I found I can do "mailman stop" so long as I'm only in /opt/mailman/ (since it'd then add /var/master.pid). But that seems a little nonsensical. Going to try my hand at using the environment variables MAILMAN_CONFIG_FILE and MAILMAN_VAR_DIR, maybe that will sort this out. But if anyone can explain further, it'd be appreciated.

Mailman List Lost on URL transfer
by heartsandbones＠zoho.com Sept. 20, 2017

Sept. 20, 2017

Hello Mailman Forum! I hope you all can help me. I have been banging my head against this issue for weeks. Here’s the scoop: I did a web site redesign for a non-profit. They didn’t mention to me that they had a mailman list associated with the site. When we transferred the url to Squarespace their list quakers(a)sbfriends.org stopped functioning and the administration login link: http://mail.sbfriends.org/mailman/admin/quakers_sbfriends.org results in a “server not found” error. I don’t know how to set up the site so that their mailman list works again. Please tell me exactly what to do to make this work. Let me know if I can provide any additional information to help you help me. This is my first post to this forum, so I hope I’ve done so correctly. Thanks so much! Licity

Docker mailman 0.1.1 Where is outgoing e-mails logged? Where can I see who it was sent to? On my test list I subscribed a new member (say recipient(a)hotmail.com) using Mass operation subscription. From another e-mail, not subscribed to the list (say sender(a)example.ku.dk) I sent a mail to the list which was held as expected. The message was logged in /opt/mailman/core/var/logs/smtp.log.

Deleting archives
by Henrik Rasmussen Sept. 14, 2017

Sept. 14, 2017

Docker-mailman 0.1: I have deleted some lists that I used for testing, but Hyperkitty seems to preserve the archives in the Available lists. Clicking on a list archive gets me to the archive of that list (with no posts because I haven't posted anything to the list). The URL is https://[WEBSITE]/hyperkitty/list/[LISTNAME](a)[LISTDOMAIN]/<https://[WEBSITE]/hyperkitty/list/%5bLISTNAME%5d(a)%5bLISTDOMAIN%5d/> (with a (a)), but when I click Manage subscription, the URI changes to https://[WEBSITE]/postorius/lists/[LISTNAME].[LIST<https://[WEBSITE]/postorius/lists/%5bLISTNAME%5d.%5bLIST>DOMAIN/ (with a dot instead of (a) which seems normal behavior) and I get a "Not Found The requested URL /postorius/lists/[LISTNAME]DOT[LISTDOMAIN]/ was not found on this server. " error. Of course I can't manage the subscription for a list I have deleted, but shouldn't the archive for a list be deleted along deleting the list. Henrik Rasmussen

Mailman 3 bounce handling and DKIM mitigation
by David Krantz Sept. 5, 2017

Sept. 5, 2017

Hi, I have a question on bounce handling. I get the impression that bounces are just lost and neither handled nor forwarded to the list admin. Is this a known problem? I am running mailman from git, but about version 3.1 and use postfix. I find lots of things in the bounceevents table. Is there any way to find out more on these events? I probably can configure postfix to send listname-bounce@domain to an admin adress. Or for that matter hack mailman to send it to the correct admin. Also the DKIM mitigation does not seem to detect DKIM domains. If I force the mitigation for all mails it works but that of course has annoying consequences although mostly cosmetic. This has caused quite a number of bounces for my lists (as well as being temporarily banned by at least Microsoft). I'm thinking of upgrading to a later version. What is the latest version that might be a good idea to install today? I install from gitlab. cheers // David

Moderation requests, dash-board link in notification?

Hi there, I suppose this is rather a simple configuration issue. However, with Mailman v2 the moderator or list-owner was supplied with a link to the admin-site in the moderation-reminder. I suppose that this can also be very easily configured with v3? Of course, I know where my amdin-site is, but I am planning to deploy mm3 in a setting with educated dummy users which probably would rather first ask and only try to find out by themselves if they cannot find someone to ask.

BTW, I also got the same confusing email when subscribing to mailman-users(a)mailman3.org (is attached). Can this be switched off?

Mailman3 Docker question and importing lists from MM2
by Andrew Hodgson Sept. 2, 2017

Sept. 2, 2017

Hi, Started experimenting with the Docker images at https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/. I had a question regarding the parameter: SERVE_FROM_DOMAIN. I want to use multiple domains, what is the best way to specify multiple domains in this environment variable? I tried it without the environment set, and also with some variables like: SERVE_FROM_DOMAIN=['lists.domain.com', 'lists.domain2.com'] and SERVE_FROM_DOMAIN="lists.domain1.com", "lists.domain2.com" However I still only get the example.com site. Furthermore, is there a recommended way to get data from MM2 (list configs and archives) into MM3? Thanks. Andrew.

"Read the (non) docs" was of little help, but I got to some partly success following the commands in the scripts in the docker image at https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman Things seemed to work out, I generated a test-list "Playground" and now I am just in the progress to click through all the configuration options in the the postorius Web-GUI. So far so good Now I read the "Message Acceptance" tab AND here is the problem: Seemingly, at some point in the deep dungeons of the source code the "Acceptable aliases" Text-Box is not interpreted correctly. Specifically, at the start it contains the string [] When then changing something int the "Message Acceptance" tab, an error shows up in the web-page (but no-where in the logs) "An error occured: []" and the bogus [] is restored. I tried to dig into the source code, and well, the data source of the text-field is an array or list of acceptable email-adresses. But seemingly finally at some point in the source code an empty list is not converted to the empty string, but to the string []. I can get rid of the error message "An error occured: []" by inserting an email-at '@' at just some place in the input box, this yields (clicking "Save changes" again and againg ...): [u"[u'@']"] [u'[u\'[u"[u\\\'@\\\']"]\']'] [u'[u\'[u\\\'[u\\\\\\\'[u"[u\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'@\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\']"]\\\\\\\']\\\']\']'] and so on. Unfortunately, I did not find the location of this bug, although I was finally able to add some "foobar" string to the already bogus web-output. Any help would be appreciated. BTW: * where is the bug-tracker for mailman3? * The documentation is really, well, close to non existent. Personally, I think the name of the URL "read-the-docs" is almost cynical. Guess I give up on it, it just does not seem to be ready for production. This was (following the docker stuff at githb) with Pythong3: mailman==3.1.0 mailman-hyperkitty==1.1.0 Python2: mailmanclient==3.1.0 postorius==1.1.0 hyperkitty==1.1.1 django-mailman3==1.1.0 Here I realize a slight version difference between the hyperkitty stuff. But this is a bug in postorius. So what.

Acceptable aliases defaults to []
by Henrik Rasmussen Aug. 30, 2017

Aug. 30, 2017

* Docker-mail 0.1.1 * Mailman 3.1 * Postorius 1.1.1 * Hyperkitty 1.1.1 Minor issues: Settings -> Message Acceptance -> Acceptable aliases has a default of [] resulting in "An error occured: [u'[]']" when saving. This fiend should be empty by default or at least accept the default when saving. To me the description right under the Acceptable aliases field is not user friendly. It doesn't explain the purpose of the field, but is meant for the Mailman sysadmin, not the list admin who can't be expected to understand this. A much better description would be the ones used for MM2: * http://www.list.org/mailman-admin/node23.html * https://wiki.list.org/DOC/What%20does%20%22message%20has%20implicit%20desti… On a second note: Where I can change the field and message descriptions in MM3, like the /usr/lib/mailman/messages/[sprog]/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.po in MM2? -- Henrik Rasmussen <her(a)adm.ku.dk<mailto:her@adm.ku.dk>> Copenhagen, Danmark

Only first message displayed... sometimes
by Cameron Smith Aug. 28, 2017

Aug. 28, 2017

(With the hope that someone on the list can help me diagnose this problem, I’m posting a copy of the HyperKitty issue that I opened a few days ago: https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty/issues/151.) Testing MailMan3, installed using the Docker containers 0.1.1 (with HyperKitty 1.1.1): I have two lists with several discussions in each. The participants/comments stats for all discussions show multiple participants and multiple comments. (Note that the numbers are wrong, as discussed in #149.) However, when I open a discussion, some of them only display the first message. Others display all messages, one displays only some, but not all, of the messages. In one case, the discussion showed the top two messages, but when a new message was added, it briefly showed and then it and the second message suddenly disappeared, leaving only the first message. In another case, the discussion only showed the top message, but then, for no apparent reason, the rest of the messages appeared. —— I decided to start all over, removing the Docker containers and images, as well as the existing database... all gone. With the newly created system and database, I created two new lists and three member-subscribers. I then created new threads and added several messages to the new threads. The messages came from all three of the members and were entered via email and HyperKitty. One thread was created from within HyperKitty. All of the newly created threads are displaying the same behaviour: all of the subscribers received, via email, all of the messages, but only the first message of each thread is displayed in HyperKitty. Suggestions for how to trace/diagnose the problem would be appreciated. Cameron Smith

Re: Which documentation to follow for installation

Hi Abhilash, Finally we decided to install Mailman through the docker images provided by you (https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman) The deployment was very quick, and it works flawlessly, so we will keep this solution. On the side I will try to deploy Mailman 3 through its independent modules, just for fun :) Many thanks! Cheers, R.

It would be helpful if you send in those errors here. It will help us debug your problem and also improve the guide for the people using it in future. One small problem about the configuration, off the top of my head, can cause some problems in the "Mailman Suite Installation" Guide[1]. I have that on my todo to fix. But, apart from that everything else should work! [1]: http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/prodsetup.html You would have to do some additional configuration for the web frontend to work and for the mail servers to talk to Mailman and Frontend separately, both of which is also mentioned in the documentation under "Configuring Mailman Core" and "Configure Web Frontend". Contributor's guide is not focused on deploying but just setting it up locally to play with and modify the source itself. > Have you tried to deploy Mailman 3.x strictly following the documentation?

Bounce processing
by Mark Ziranski Aug. 26, 2017

Aug. 26, 2017

Hello, I read that mailman3 supports 'bounce processing' but I do not know how to configure it. I want to delete members automatically from a mailing list if the delivery has failed after a certain time of attempts because his mailbox has been removed or his mail server has been shutdown etc. There is also the case that an users mailbox is full (mailbox limit exceeded). Is possible to deal with this case too? Thanks.

HyperKitty misreporting statistics
by Cameron Smith Aug. 24, 2017

Aug. 24, 2017

Mailman 3, container images 0.1.1 HyperKitty 1.1.1 is showing incorrect numbers for the number of participants and the number of discussions. (All messages referred to below were submitted in August.) In one list, I have two threads. In one thread, I have three messages, each from a different email address, all submitted via email (as opposed to replying from within HyperKitty). The month page (clicking on “August”) of that list however, shows that thread as having one participant and no messages. Opening the list shows the same stats: “1 participants”, “0 comments”; all three messages are displayed. The other thread in the same list also shows one participant and no messages; it has two messages in it, one submitted via email, the other submitted via HyperKitty by a different subscriber. Opening the list shows both messages. The front page of that list shows zero participants and two discussions. A second list also has two threads with three email-submitted messages from different addresses. The monthly stats show one thread as having one participant and one message, the other as having one participant and zero messages. The front page shows one participant and one discussion.

Users, members, accounts and subscribers
by Cameron Smith Aug. 24, 2017

Aug. 24, 2017

Oh my! In an attempt to introduce a friend to MailMan3, I had her subscribe to a couple of lists that I set up and we exchanged a few messages via the email interface. Then I introduced her to the web interface and we were both confused when she could not log-in/sign-in and was told that her email address was not recognized. It was only later that I realized that while she was a subscriber, she hadn’t yet signed up for an account. What is the point of “accounts"? Why can someone become a subscriber, but not have an account? I find the user/member/subscriber explanation at http://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/architecture.html to be very confusing. Cameron Smith

Setting default Mailman admin (Django superuser) password in Docker-mailman
by Henrik Rasmussen Aug. 23, 2017

Aug. 23, 2017

I just upgraded to Docker-mailman 0.1.1 and prior to that for some reason I had to somewhat start over, deleting my database. At both on my first and second attempt I wondered what the Django admin password would be. According to https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/ and https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/blob/master/web/README.md, setting MAILMAN_ADMIN_USER and MAILMAN_ADMIN_EMAIL in docker-compose.yaml will create a username for the admin user by default, but it doesn't mentioning setting a variable for the password. Creating a superuser using docker exec -it mailman-web python manage.py createsuperuser would normally request the password for the user indicated, but user "mailman" has already been registred. So to get to know the superuser password, I reset it using https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6358030/how-to-reset-django-admin-passw…. Why don't the installation guide on https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/ mention anything about how to set the password in the docker-compose.yaml file? -- Henrik Rasmussen <her(a)adm.ku.dk<mailto:her@adm.ku.dk>> Copenhagen, Danmark

Possible bug in Mailman 3.1 (Docker-mailman 0.1)
by Henrik Rasmussen Aug. 21, 2017

Aug. 21, 2017

Mailman 3.1, docker-mailman 0.1 While I was trying to automate distribution of the files in /opt/mailman/core/var/data/postfix_domains I found what I think must be a bug. Adding a new mail list (or deleting one) _does_ update the Postfix files /opt/mailman/core/var/data/ ,but adding a new mail domain does not. This is OK. But deleting a mail domain that have lists associated to it * does not issue a warning other than "Are you sure you want to permanently delete this domain?" which is not different from deleting mail domains without lists associated to it. * the associated lists disappears both from the web interface Lists view and from the output of the "docker exec -it mailman-core mailman lists" command * the files in /opt/mailman/core/var/data/ is not updated even the lists is being deleted. 1. Deleting a mail domain with associated lists should issue a warning that it has lists associated to it. 2. The files in /opt/mailman/core/var/data/ should be updated according to the deleted lists / domains. 3. Actually I think it should be impossible to accidentally delete a mail domain with lists associated to it. Regards Henrik Rasmussen

Re: Which documentation to follow for installation

Aug. 20, 2017

Hi Abhilash, Thanks for your reply. The point is, I think I'm missing something. I'm just a sysadmin who wants to deploy Mailman 3.x to be used for an operational environment, like any other software. Is this software actually ready for that? Of course, I'm not asking for .rpm, .deb, etc... because I understand that's quite complex, but I tried it following all available guides, including the Contributor's Guide, and it seems impossible to get it running at the first time (or just to get it running) without getting crazy or fixing lots of unexpected errors during installation. Have you tried to deploy Mailman 3.x strictly following the documentation? By the way, many thanks for your hard work!

Issues with starting mailman 3 outside of a virtualenv

However, when I tried to run `mailman start`, it produces `/usr/bin/python3: can't open file '/usr/bin/master': [Errno 2] No such file or directory`. -- Best wishes, Leon

hyperkitty won't list more than 5 posts and shows empty grey Activity Summary box

Hi, On our new installation of Mailman 3, which seems to be otherwise working fine (thanks!), the "More..." link doesn't work, such that the list continues to only show 5 posts, even though it's clear that hyperkitty is aware of more (if I click on August, for example). Also, nothing is shown in the grey box under Activity Summary (the <svg class="chart-data"> element), although I'm not sure what's supposed to be shown there.

Telling Mailman/Hyperkitty where sass is
by Erin Justice Aug. 11, 2017

Aug. 11, 2017

Hi all, Another issue that's cropped up when I am trying to run Mailman 3 on apache. I've downloaded and installed Mailman core, Django, Postorius & Hyperkitty. I'm using the mailman-suite django project from https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-suite/tree/master <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-suite/tree/master>. When I run the site using Django's development server everything works. However when I run the site from apache it's not finding sass. Specifically I'm getting errors like: FilterError at /accounts/login/ /bin/sh: sass: command not found I triple checked that sass is installed which sass /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/sass /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/ is in $PATH when I checked that and I was thinking that it maybe wasn't getting to python properly. However pprint(sys.path) contains the same items whether I start the site from the dev server or apache. Any pointers would be appreciated. -Erin

Docker, Mailman 3, templates and list user accounts
by Henrik Rasmussen Aug. 8, 2017

Aug. 8, 2017

I used Docker to installed Mailman 3. The top header of the web interface says "Example.Com" while linking to the correct site URL (I believe coming from SERVE_FROM_DOMAIN). In a post[1], Mark Sapiro referred to the template system in Mailman 3 by pointing out that "a custom template can be put in var/templates/site/en/welcome.txt or var/templates/domains/example.com/en/welcome.txt<http://var/templates/domains/example.com/en/welcome.txt> or var/templates/lists/listname.example.com/en/welcome.txt<http://var/templates/lists/listname.example.com/en/welcome.txt> where var is Mailman's configured var_dir". I believe this refers to the mail templates. 1) Where do I change the similar template system, for the web interface, without breaking a laver upgrade? 2) How do I change the site name in the top of the web interface on Mailman 3 to my subside and ? [1] https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… The Mailman command in Mailman Core doesn't seem to have a command for listing the accounts users have created by using Sign up in the web interface, so I believe that accounts may be created in the webinterface. Is there similar commands for the web interface like the mailman commands for the Mailman core? Regards, Henrik Rasmussen

Installing mailman 3
by Rafael Mora Aug. 2, 2017

Hello, I want to install mailman 3 in a centos 7 virtual machine. I'm following these steps and I cannot make it work: 1. `cd ~` 2. `git clone https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman.git` 3. `cd mailman` 4. `virtualenv -p python3 venv` 5. `source venv/bin/activate` 6. `python setup.py develop` 7. I am pretty sure this setup command will place a configuration file into `~/mailman/var/etc/mailman.cfg`. Edit this file. https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/config/docs/config.html 8. `mailman info` can confirm which configuration file is in use 9. `mailman start` will start up Mailman 3 Core. This is what the parent background process command looks like in `ps -ef`: `/home/ubuntu/mailman/venv/bin/python /home/ubuntu/mailman/venv/bin/master -C /home/ubuntu/mailman/var/etc/mailman.cfg` I also tried the steps on the website https://wiki.list.org/DEV/SetupDevEnvironment but it doesn't work either What do you suggest? This is what I get from console: [root@localhost ~]# cd dev/ [root@localhost dev]# cd mailman/ [root@localhost mailman]# source venv3/bin/activate (venv3) [root@localhost mailman]# cd mailman/ (venv3) [root@localhost mailman]# ls conf.py COPYING data README.rst src unittest.cfg contrib coverage.ini MANIFEST.in setup.cfg template.py copybump.py cron port_me setup.py tox.ini (venv3) [root@localhost mailman]# cd .. (venv3) [root@localhost mailman]# mailman start Starting Mailman's master runner /root/dev/mailman/venv3/bin/python: can't open file '/sbin/master': [Errno 2] No such file or directory (venv3) [root@localhost mailman]# Thank you -- Atentamente / Best Regards Ing.

Ready to try installation: use "normal" install or docker.
by Tom Browder Aug. 1, 2017

The mm3 installation instructions have been somewhat fluid over the development period, butI'm finally ready to dig in and give it a shot and need some last-minute advice. I'm leaning toward installing using the docker method but I would appreciate any recent thoughts about which method to choose. Thanks so much to the MM3 dev team! Best, -Tom
