Can't deliver mails in queue
by Nathanael Schneider 20 May '21

20 May '21

Hello, I have stumbled upon some weird issues with my migration to mailman3.. I've followed the step by step instructions for installing mm3 manually in a venv with postfix and virtual aliases (if that is of any significance). Now the Problem is, that some lists don't deliver EMails at all. The list was one which I migrated with the mailman21 command. But the Mail I sent did not get through to no one and the mailman logs did not show anything. I then created a completely new List which did not exists in mm2.1, subscribed two addresses and sent myself an EMail. That one worked as intended. I then deleted the whole broken list and created it cleanly, added the same two people, sent an email and nothing. Did not show up in the Moderation Queue or anywhere. it also doesn't get shunted. It just never arrives. I then turned the log level to debug on the smtp module. And I only get the following statement, ever repeating, never ending: [...] May 19 18:54:40 2021 (8280) Using agent: <mailman.mta.deliver.Deliver object at 0x7fb49b143780> May 19 18:54:40 2021 (8280) IndividualDelivery to: nathanael(a)lumenliquid.net May 19 18:54:40 2021 (8280) Using agent: <mailman.mta.deliver.Deliver object at 0x7fb4974541d0> May 19 18:54:40 2021 (8280) IndividualDelivery to: nathanael(a)lumenliquid.net May 19 18:54:40 2021 (8280) Using agent: <mailman.mta.deliver.Deliver object at 0x7fb4978db438> May 19 18:54:40 2021 (8280) IndividualDelivery to: nathanael(a)lumenliquid.net May 19 18:54:40 2021 (8280) Using agent: <mailman.mta.deliver.Deliver object at 0x7fb497f05f28> May 19 18:54:40 2021 (8280) IndividualDelivery to: nathanael(a)lumenliquid.net May 19 18:54:40 2021 (8280) Using agent: <mailman.mta.deliver.Deliver object at 0x7fb4978adb38> May 19 18:54:40 2021 (8280) IndividualDelivery to: nathanael(a)lumenliquid.net [...] I have no clue what to do with this. I then turned the debug module loglevel to debug. Also nothing useful. Just an endless list of [...] May 19 18:17:29 2021 (7209) [outgoing] <function deliver at 0x7f2faf384c80>: <B9531076-2480-4925-9A2B-57802B53D5ED(a)gmx.de> May 19 18:17:29 2021 (7203) [ArchiveRunner] starting oneloop May 19 18:17:29 2021 (7203) [ArchiveRunner] ending oneloop: 0 May 19 18:17:29 2021 (7209) [OutgoingRunner] finishing filebase: 1621441049.4089153+6dff56673dc64b890dd352941267782c264586dd May 19 18:17:29 2021 (7209) [OutgoingRunner] doing periodic May 19 18:17:29 2021 (7209) [OutgoingRunner] committing transaction May 19 18:17:29 2021 (7209) [OutgoingRunner] checking short circuit May 19 18:17:29 2021 (7209) [OutgoingRunner] ending oneloop: 1 May 19 18:17:29 2021 (7209) [OutgoingRunner] starting oneloop May 19 18:17:29 2021 (7209) [OutgoingRunner] processing filebase: 1621441049.4628382+6a0437ea387a2508ad947c0a51712075cbdb6d2e May 19 18:17:29 2021 (7209) [OutgoingRunner] processing onefile May 19 18:17:29 2021 (7209) [outgoing] <function deliver at 0x7f2faf384c80>: <B9531076-2480-4925-9A2B-57802B53D5ED(a)gmx.de> [...] Which also tells me nothing I can understand. I have no clue what's going wrong. (I've turned on debugging both on the original member list and the reduced member list. Both hang on the first delivery they do). If I restart mailman, the message gets correctly shunted as it is interrupted mid-delivery. My maillogs don't register any activity beside the listpost. Any ideas what I need to do to figure out what's not working here or where the culprit could be? Not sure if it is related to the mailinglist being in mailman2.1 before. -- Nathanael Schneider

Bounce counter visibility for List Admins
by smorytko＠gmail.com 19 May '21

19 May '21

As you may know, we use MM3 but the Affinity/Empathy flavor and we only have List Administrator using the Postorious/Affinity. Unlike many here, we have no access to any server-based files. Can someone tell me if Postorious gives list administrators visibility into the bounce counters? While List Admins get to set various bounce counters we have no visibility of those counters until, all of a sudden, an entire source of subscribers hits the bounce threshold and gets bounced off the list. It would be really nice to be able to see the bounce counters and possibly head off trouble before users/subscriber mail hosts. It can serve as an effective early warning system that something is wrong. Assuming Postorious cannot, is there another way List Admins can inspect bounce counters? Email command? Thanks - Steve

In the example I'm looking at right now, the sender was not a member of the list, but the Accept these non-members box in the list settings has a regexp that matches the sender's domain. In another example from this morning, to a different list, the envelope sender and From header match, and is a member of the list. > > I don't see any obvious reason or configuration setting that would make either address invalid. First of all, the discard has nothing to do with whether the sender has any connection to the list. It only says the message had no sender at all. Assuming the message had a From: with a syntactically valid email address, this discard should not occur. Also, if the envelope (MAIL FROM:) was a syntactically valid email address, this discard should not occur. The address is validated by mailman/email/validate.py by first splitting it into `local_part`, `@`, `[domain_parts]` where domain_parts are the `between dots` parts of the domain and then validating the local_part and domain with regexps defined per > # What other characters should be allowed? > _valid_local = re.compile("[-0-9a-z!#$%&'*+./=?@_`{}~]", re.IGNORECASE) > # Strictly speaking, both ^ and | are allowed and others are allowed in quoted > # local parts, but this can open the door to certain web exploits so we don't > # allow them. > _valid_domain = re.compile('[-a-z0-9]', re.IGNORECASE) > # These are the only characters allowed in domain parts.

OS upgrade - anything to take care of?
by Torge Riedel 15 May '21

15 May '21

Dear MM3 users, today I upgraded one of two servers from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 and - besides some minor config updates - postfix & dovecot worked well afterwards. So I am very optimistic that the upgrade of the second server from 18.04 to 20.04 will also work fine. But the second server is running MM3 (installed in venv) and I saw that on upgrade Python 3.8 is installed. Is there anything I have to take care of? Anything to do / change in venv? Kind regards Torge

Hi, Hyperkitty 1.3.4. I am trying to download a complete list mbox by going to all threads view and using the download option.

Problems with New MM3 Installation
by Jeff 12 May '21

12 May '21

After using Mailman 2 (and possibly 1 though I don’t remember) for almost 20 years, I have just upgraded to Mailman 3. I followed the instructions here: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#virtualenv-inst… Things generally work, but I have run into a couple of small problems: 1) The uwsgi-error.log is filling with errors that seem to culminate in "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘settings’”. My settings.py is located in “/etc/mailman3” and seems to be found by other components of MM3. This error must be coming from the cron jobs. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this problem? 2) While old messages were imported without issue, new emails are not being archives. I see them in: mailman3/mm/var/archives/prototype/[listname]@[domain]/new But they are not being delivered. I have added this to my mailman.cfg: [archiver.hyperkitty] class: mailman_hyperkitty.Archiver enable: yes configuration: /usr/local/mailman3/mailman-hyperkitty.cfg And created the "/usr/local/mailman3/mailman-hyperkitty.cfg” as such: base_url: http://localhost/archives/ api_key: [key that matches “MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_KEY” in my settings.py] Some documentation says that the url should be "http://localhost/hyperkitty/“, but url generates a page not found error on my setup while the archives are available at the “archives” url. I would greatly appreciate any assistance with these two issues. Thanks much, Jeff
