Unable to get mailman3 working on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
by Michael Heseltine Oct. 29, 2021

Oct. 29, 2021

Hi all, after upgrading an older server to Ubuntu 20.04, I tried to first upgrade my old mailman 2 installation to mailman 3. I've been on it for three weeks now, but unable to get anything working. I have long forgone the idea of upgrading and thus purged everything from mailman2 on my machine, and installed and removed mailman3 several times to no avail. My most recent try (it is currently an empty mailman installation) was done by calling apt install mailman3 mailman3-full mailman3-web and saying "yes" to every question. I'm using Mariadb as the database, and two databases called mailman3 and mailman3web (plus two users with the same names) have been created. I have configured a virtual host for apache (see below) and changed the mailman.cfg and mailman-weg.cfg to match (also see below). I have restarted both mailman3 and mailman3-web several times now, but when I try to access the site, I just get | Something went wrong | Mailman REST API not available. Please start Mailman core. plus an e-mail with subject | [Django] ERROR (EXTERNAL IP): Service Unavailable: /mailman3/postorius/lists/ I'm running | GNU Mailman 3.3.3b1 (Tom Sawyer) | Python 3.8.10 (default, Sep 28 2021, 16:10:42) Can anybody tell me what is going on? Also, the confirmation e-mail I got for registering a user says "example.com" in its subject line, even though I replaced every mention in the config files below with my actual URL. Any help is appreaciated, I can provide logs or other data on request.

Internal server errors after upgrade
by Seth Seeger Oct. 29, 2021

Oct. 29, 2021

Hello community, I'm running the Docker version of MM3. I've just run: docker-compose stop docker-compose pull docker-compose up -d I am now at versions: mailman-core: 3.3.4 mailman-web: 2.2.20 I am running a 2-core, 4GB RAM VM on Linode. The web interface mostly works. However, sometimes/regularly I get a 500 Internal Server Error. In /opt/mailman/core/var/logs/mailman.log I see the errors, but they are usually different. The common thread seems they are always about some sort of database call. Reloading the page is usually successful. Did anything change with the latest upgrade in terms of database timeouts? Before this upgrade, I was never getting it. (htop does not show anything unusual.) Any leads? Thank you, Seth

Upgrade commands under Docker
by Seth Seeger Oct. 28, 2021

Oct. 28, 2021

Another docker upgrade question... according to the upgrade docs https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/upgrade-3.2.html#post-upgrade you are supposed to stop the web service and run a series of commands (compress/collectstatic/etc). How do you stop the service under Docker? If I stop the container, then I cannot access the manage.py command. Thanks, Seth

How to change rest APi password
by bob B Oct. 28, 2021

Oct. 28, 2021

This is probably s stupid question but I have been searching for an answer. How do you set a different rest api password? The instructions say : The credentials are set in the [webservice] section of the configuration using the admin_user and admin_pass properties. But what is that referring to? I am running docker, so is this in the docker.yaml file (I tried it there it did not work) or in the Django config file or someplace else?

list admin via email
by Christian Stalberg Oct. 28, 2021

Oct. 28, 2021

I'm unclear on how to approve via email a message sent to a list. As list owner you receive a 'requires approval' email. It then says: "If you reply to this message, keeping the Subject: header intact, Mailman will discard the held message. Do this if the message is spam. If you reply to this message and include an Approved: header with the list password in it, the message will be approved for posting to the list. The Approved: header can also appear in the first line of the body of the reply." Question: if I want to approve the message, where do I "...include an Approved: header with the list password in it" ? TY!

Mailman import of 2000 lists
by dancab＠caltech.edu Oct. 27, 2021

Oct. 27, 2021

I'm working on importing nearly 2000 lists and have been doing some testing prior to migrating from Mailman2. I'm using the mailman create command via for loop. It takes quite a while to do all the work including updating MySQL and re-generating the LMTP files for each list. As the number of lists increases the process gets slower. Do you have any recommendations for speeding up this process? I am running the system in AWS using EFS for storage of the LMTP files. Thanks! -- Dan Caballero Caltech

Are there any way of displaying a "Mesage of the day" to the users of Postorius and Hyperkitty?

Docker container issues.
by Mark Sapiro Oct. 26, 2021

Oct. 26, 2021

There have been a few recent requests for help with the Mailman Docker container images. These are packaged by Abhilash and I have no experience with Docker at all. The doc at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/docker.html points to detailed docs at https://asynchronous.in/docker-mailman/ and suggest that issues should be reported on GitHub https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/issues where Abhilash will respond as he can. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Re: uncaught bounce messages

Putting back on the list.

Thank you. I tested that DSN with current flufl.bounce and it is recognized as a temp failure for the reported address and that in turn should just be ignored by Mailman's bounce runner and not reported as unrecognized. What version of Mailman core is this and what version of flufl.bounce? -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Struggle on upgrading mailman3-web to new version - Not Found: /mailman//
by Stefan Bauer Oct. 26, 2021

Oct. 26, 2021

Dear Users, I recently upraded mailman3 from Ubuntu 18 to 20. After accessing the web-interface via https://my.mailinglistserver.local/mailman3/postorius/lists/ I receive Not Found: /mailman//postorius/lists/ [pid: 1346851|app: 0|req: 4/4] 10.254.253.12 () {70 vars in 1369 bytes} [Mon Oct 25 10:39:59 2021] GET /mailman3/postorius/lists/ => generated 2821 bytes in 12 msecs (HTTP/1.1 404) 5 headers in 155 bytes (1 switches on core 1) Where does the wrong path come from (mailman vs. mailman3) After enabling Debug, i see in the browser the following: Page not found (404) Request Method: GET Request URL: https://my.mailinglistserver.local/mailman//postorius/lists/ Using the URLconf defined in urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order: ^$ ^postorius/ ^hyperkitty/ ^user-profile/delete$ [name='mm_user_account_delete'] ^user-profile/$ [name='mm_user_profile'] ^accounts/ ^admin/ The current path, /postorius/lists/, didn't match any of these. You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a standard 404 page. My apache configuration is very simply: # more /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/mailman3.conf Alias /mailman3/favicon.ico /var/lib/mailman3/web/static/postorius/img/favicon.ico Alias /mailman3/static /var/lib/mailman3/web/static <Directory "/var/lib/mailman3/web/static"> Require all granted </Directory> <IfModule mod_proxy_uwsgi.c> ProxyPass /mailman3/favicon.ico ! ProxyPass /mailman3/static ! ProxyPass /mailman3 unix:/run/mailman3-web/uwsgi.sock|uwsgi://localhost/ </IfModule> I dont see where the path gets traversed in the wrong way. Any help is greatly appreciated. thank you. Stefan
