MTA authentication and smtpd_sender_login_maps
by Jan Eden 25 Nov '22

25 Nov '22

Hi, I installed Mailman3 successfully and would like to change the default smtp settings to an authenticated connection (smtp_user, smtp_pass). But my Postfix configuration restricts sending messages via the smtpd_sender_login_maps directive (which points to a hashed file I created years ago) and correctly refuses connections for messages with the test mailing list's From header. I obviously do not want to add an entry to the map file for each mailing list created by someone on the server. Is there a way to programmatically create a sender login map with Mailman? Thanks, Jan

Hyperkitty no longer archiving
by Hirayama, Pat 23 Nov '22

23 Nov '22

Greetings, A couple of months ago, I needed to move the Mailman3 server I inherited from one AWS account to another AWS account. This necessitated a change in the IP address of instance hosting the docker containers that comprise my mailman3 server. I thought I had updated the IP address wherever it needed to be, but I suppose I've missed something, because hyperkitty has not been archiving any messages. (Most of my lists don't archive, so it took a while before someone noticed). When I look at /opt/mailman/var/archives/hyperkitty/spool, I see messages dating back over the past couple of months waiting to be archived. So, they don't appear to be lost (and things are being mailed out normally). The thing is, the IP addresses of the docker containers haven't changed with respect to docker networking. docker networking ------------------------ docker host 172.31.0.1 mailman-core 172.31.0.3 mailman-nginx 172.31.0.5 mailman-postfix 172.31.0.4 mailman-django-uwsgi 172.31.0.2 settings_local.py: MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_FROM = ('172.18.8.14', '172.31.0.1', '172.31.0.2', '172.31.0.3', '172.31.0.4', '172.31.0.5', '127.0.0.1', '::1') During troubleshooting, I added 172.18.8.14 (new IP of the webserver), but that didn't seem to help. It seems like I added one of the docker addresses that was missing .... but again, that doesn't seem to have fixed the issue. mailmansuite.log is full of: ERROR 2022-11-22 00:25:40,365 7 hyperkitty.views.mailman Access to the archiving API endpoint was forbidden from IP 172.31.0.1, your MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_FROM setting may be misconfigured ERROR 2022-11-22 00:25:40,399 7 hyperkitty.views.mailman Access to the archiving API endpoint was forbidden from IP 172.31.0.1, your MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_FROM setting may be misconfigured Any suggestions as to where I might look for a solution, or what setting I need to change?

Upgrading a Ubuntu Mailman 3 Installation
by Allan Hansen 21 Nov '22

21 Nov '22

Dear Mailman 3 wizards, Several years ago I tried upgrading to Mailman 3 (I did install Mailman 2), but quickly ran into a thicket too complex for me to get out of. Two others - way more experienced than me at system-level manipulations - tried as well but did not succeed. Brian Carpenter of EMWD installed the system seemingly effortlessly, and seemingly overnight. We had a good relationship, and I was a beta site for his new product, SAAS. Brian also did the system MM3 upgrades as they appeared and would check that all was well a couple of times a year. Unfortunately, and I respect that, the current management at EMWD "don't provide working hands service for foreign Mailman 3 installations." I do not dare touch it, based on my earlier attempts with the installation. With Brian's passing I'm thus faced with a system that has no capable system support (I manage the lists, not the core). I have 50+ lists with 10000+ subscription total, and a lot of people depend on this tool. (It's a non-profit organization). So, I'm interesting in hiring someone for part-time, occasional work (a few times a year). Update MM3 as new versions are made available. Diagnose and fix the system if anything goes awry. I will pay you, as I did Brian, out of my own pocket, for your time. Yours, Allan Hansen

Migrating to mailman-web and Ubuntu 22.04
by Andrew Hodgson 16 Nov '22

16 Nov '22

Hi. For various reasons I want to migrate to a larger host running Ubuntu 22.04. I have set up the various packages ok and as part of the migration I want to use mailman-web instead of mailman-suite which is an older setup. I have instructions for Mailman-web for setting up Uwsgi but I would prefer to keep Gunicorn working as per the instructions here: DOC/Mailman 3 installation experience - Mailman Wiki (list.org)<https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Mailman%203%20installation%20experience> Has anyone done this before? Thanks. Andrew.

New Mailman Core Release
by Mark Sapiro 15 Nov '22

15 Nov '22

We are pleased to announce the release of Mailman core 3.3.7. It is published to PyPI and you can find links to all the PyPI projects: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/ The change log is at https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/NEWS.… - please note the `BREAKING CHANGE` documented there and due to our now using SQLAlchemy >-1.4. Finally, the minimum Python version required is 3.7 although, 3.9 is recommended if you are doing a new install for longest support. 3.10 is supported for Django apps, but Mailman Core is missing that due to one of the core dependencies (aiosmtpd) not supporting 3.10 yet. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Do not display any lists on index the page (/postorius/lists/) by default (when you create the list it defaults to Hide) - Debian package install
by daniel.botting＠codethink.co.uk 11 Nov '22

11 Nov '22

Hi all, I am currently in the process of moving from mailman 2.1 to mailman 3, the basic functions are completed (mailing list and archiving). On our current mailman 2.1 install it advises there are no publicly advertised lists, when I visit mailman3-list.domain/postorius/lists/ I see all the lists that have been created, I require them not to be displayed. I know when you create a list you can on the 'Advertise this list' line select 'Hide this list in list index', but I would like it to default to this in case somebody forgets to select it. I am not a Python expert, though from the description at the top of the below file and the contents further down it looks like you are defining in base.py and then in default.py you are using what was defined, a class of 'Private' which should cause the lists not to be advertised, but they are? File: /usr/ib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/styles/base.py class Private: """Settings for private mailing lists.""" def apply(self, mailing_list): mlist = mailing_list mlist.advertised = False <-------------- mlist.archive_policy = ArchivePolicy.private mlist.subscription_policy = SubscriptionPolicy.confirm_then_moderate File: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/styles/default.py class PrivateDefaultStyle( Identity, BasicOperation, Bounces, Private, Discussion, Moderation): """Style for mailing-lists with private archives.""" name = 'private-default' description = _('Discussion mailing list style with private archives.') def apply(self, mailing_list): """See `IStyle`.""" Identity.apply(self, mailing_list) BasicOperation.apply(self, mailing_list) Bounces.apply(self, mailing_list) Private.apply(self, mailing_list) Discussion.apply(self, mailing_list) Moderation.apply(self, mailing_list) I added the below to /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg: [styles] # The default style to apply if nothing else was requested. The value is the # name of an existing style. If no such style exists, no style will be # applied. default: private-default I took 'private-default' from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/styles/default.py, this means now when a new list is created the List style is 'Discussion mail list style with private archives so it is not displayed when you are logged out at /hyperkitty. Many thanks Daniel

Imported archives MM2 to MM3

Hi I've just migrated a list from MM 2.1.39 to MM 3.3 (Debian). Following the guide at: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/migration.html Importing the config went fine and all is well with that. The import of the archive appeared to go well (notes below) as did the rebuilding of the index. However, the archives show up empty on the list's webpage. I don't know what I should be looking for to fix this, so any pointers would be great. Thanks. //////////////////////////////////////// Migrate the list archives ========================= # python3 /usr/share/mailman3-web/manage.py hyperkitty_import -l LISTNAME@DOMAIN ./LISTNAME.mbox Importing from mbox file ./LISTNAME.mbox to LISTNAME@DOMAIN Computing thread structure Synchronizing properties with Mailman 33 emails left to refresh, checked 0 Warming up cache The full-text search index is not updated for this list.

Re: No DBA password when installing Mailman3 with remote database server
by Markus Ludwig Grandpré 04 Nov '22

04 Nov '22

Dear Mr. Turnbull, dear blackout69, thank you very much for your answers. Below this text you will find a brief documentation how I finally managed to install mailman3 and mailman3web packages under Debian 11 with a remote PostGreSQL server v10.22. Maybe there is a more elegant way to install both packages correctly, but AFAIK any solution will be only a workaround for the main problem, that the DBA's password is usually unknown during the whole installation process if you use a remote database server that is run by another staff team. Best regards, Markus ------------ 8< ------------ Mailman3 installation ===================== 1. Installation mailman3 2. Installation mailman3web 3. Integration in boot sequence 1. Installation mailman3 ------------------------ Once the remote database server has been set up with databases mailman3 and mailman3web and with a database user mailman3 that has access to both databases, create database mailman3; create database mailman3web; create user mailman3 with encrypted password 'streng_geheim'; grant all privileges on database mailman3 to mailman3; grant all privileges on database mailman3web to mailman3; the package mailman3 can be installed: # apt install mailman3 To avoid the DBA password prompt that ususally cannot be answered if the database server is run by another team, the installation tool dbconfig-common should be omitted: * Configure database for mailman3 with dbconfig-common? No The mailman3 package will be installed without errors. The configuration of the database connection can be done in file /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg: ... class: mailman.database.postgresql.PostgreSQLDatabase ... url: postgres://mailman3:<secret>@<host>:<port>/mailman3 At this point the required tables have not yet been created in the database. Therefore, the mailman3 package should be configured again: # dpkg-reconfigure mailman3 Because the database mailman3 already exists on the database server, it does not need to be recreated using dbconfig-common: * Reinstall database for mailman3? No * Add the HyperKitty configuration to mailman.cfg? No Also moving the HyperKitty configuration to /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg is not necessary at this time. After dpkg-reconfigure has finished, all necessary tables do now exist in the database mailman3: mailman3=> \dt List of relations Schema | Name | Type | Owner --------+--------------------+-------+---------- public | _request | table | mailman3 public | acceptablealias | table | mailman3 public | address | table | mailman3 public | alembic_version | table | mailman3 ... An initial start of the service mailman3 shows no errors: # systemctl start mailman3 # systemctl status mailman3 ● mailman3.service - mailman3 server. Loaded: loaded (/lib/system/system/mailman3.service; enabled; vendor default: enabled) Active: active (running) since Thu 2022-11-03 10:10:29 CET; 11min ago. ... 2. Installing mailman3-web -------------------------- Once the mailman3 package is installed, package mailman3-web can be installed: # apt install mailman3-web This time you should not do the installation process without the help of the installation tool dbconfig-common: * Configure database for mailman3 with dbconfig-common? Yes * Database type to be used by mailman3-web: pgsql * Host name of the PostgreSQL database server for mailman3-web: new host * Host running the PostgreSQL server for mailman3-web: <remote host> * PostgreSQL application password for mailman3-web: <secret> * Password confirmation: <secret> Even if the DBA password prompt cannot be answered: Create configuration file /etc/dbconfig-common/mailman3-web.conf with new version Password for user postgres: ?????? the dbconfig-common tool should be used again: * Next step for database installation: retry * Configure database for mailman3-web with dbconfig-common? Yes * Connection method for PostgreSQL database of mailman3-web: TCP/IP * Host name of the PostgreSQL database server for mailman3-web: <remote host> * Port number for the PostgreSQL service: 5432 * Method for authenticating the PostgreSQL administrator: password * Method for authenticating PostgreSQL user: password * PostgreSQL database name for mailman3-web: mailman3web * PostgreSQL username for mailman3-web: mailman3 * PostgreSQL application password for mailman3-web: <secret> * Password confirmation: <secret> * Name of the database's administrative user: postgres * Password of your database's administrative user: sldjkfhskldfjhyxlökcjy The prompt for the DBA password cannot be answered correctly again, therefore "ignore" should now be the best choice for the further course of the installation process: * Next step for database installation: ignore * Password of your database's administrative user: sldjkfhskldfjhyxlkcylö An error does occur now because the database user mailman3 can not be created: ... Password for user postgres: unable to connect to postgresql server. error encountered creating user: psql: error: fe_sendauth: no password supplied ... But this error doesn't matter, because the database user mailman3 does already exist and the installation process of the package mailman3web will nevertheless be finished completely. A look into file /etc/mailman3/mailman-web.py shows that dbconfig-common has entered the database connection to the database server correctly, too: DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2', 'NAME': 'mailman3web', 'USER': 'mailman3', 'PASSWORD': '<secret>', 'HOST': '<remote host>', 'PORT': '', <--- missing? 'OPTIONS': { }, } } Also all required tables have been created in the database mailman3web during the installation process: mailman3web=> \dt List of relations Schema | Name | Type | Owner --------+-----------------------------------+-------+---------- public | account_emailaddress | table | mailman3 public | account_emailconfirmation | table | mailman3 public | auth_group | table | mailman3 public | auth_group_permissions | table | mailman3 public | auth_permission | table | mailman3 ... The initial start of the service mailman3-web shows no errors: # systemctl start mailman3-web # systemctl status mailman3-web ● mailman3-web.service - Mailman3-web uWSGI service. Loaded: loaded (/lib/system/system/mailman3-web.service; enabled; vendor default: enabled). Active: active (running) since Thu 2022-11-03 10:42:30 CET; 11min ago ... 3. Intergration in boot sequence -------------------------------- Finally, the two services mailman3 and mailman3-web can be included in the boot sequence: # systemctl enable mailman3 Synchronize the state of mailman3.service with the SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install. Runs: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable mailman3 # systemctl enable mailman3-web Synchronize the status of mailman3-web.service with the SysV service script using /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.

Hi, I'm looking for a feature but not sure if I missed it or if it isn't really there. By default, I accept all messages of list members without moderating them. What I want is that I would like to moderate the messages of new subscribed members until I set them to auto-accept all messages. I want to see what a new member is posting before it is send/accepted to the list. Is this possible? Kind Christian

Mailman upgrade results in page not found error
by Andrew Hodgson 03 Nov '22

03 Nov '22

Hi. Just doing the Mailman suite upgrade on my small installation I use for test purposes. Steps include: Run backup script Stop services Mv venv venv-old python3 -m venv --system-site-packages --symlinks venv source venv/bin/activate pip install -U pip pip install mailman mailman-hyperkitty hyperkitty postorius whoosh deactivate ./bin/Django-admin collectstatic ./bin/Django-admin migrate At this step I got an error regarding the import of URLs, a quick Google suggested this was because the new venv has upgraded to Django 4.0. I downloaded the urls.py from the mailman-web Git repo (I should migrate to this at some point I know) and replaced my version with this one. This allowed the migrate to run correctly. Once services were up everything worked as expected except for the web page. If you go to https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org you get a Postorius page not found error, however if you click on the Mailman logo you get to the correct place. I think this is a problem with the new urls.py I downloaded, what is the best way to restore the old behaviour of having https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org going to the correct place?

How to add new lists?
by fstltna＠yahoo.com 03 Nov '22

03 Nov '22

I have been able to get the web interface up and the default "mailman@" address is there and appears in the list of lists, but when I add a list from the command line with a command like "mailman create foo(a)ourlists.gameplayer.club" it does not return a error and using "mailman lists" lists it as existing. However there is no new entries in the /etc/aliases file and the new list doesn't appear in the web interface... Any ideas?

Start a new thread and Reply buttons don't work on web interface
by mcashdollar＠anl.gov 01 Nov '22

Hi, I'm planning on upgrading some of our mailing lists from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3. I setup a test server to try Mailman 3. I notice that when I go to "Archives" in the web interface and choose "Start a new thread" or "Reply" to post a message on my test list, it says successful, but the message never shows up. Looking at the logs, I don't see any errors. I can see the HTTP POST in the log and it seems like everything works: [pid: 70249|app: 0|req: 41/93] 127.0.0.1 () {46 vars in 1223 bytes} [Tue Nov 1 21:03:25 2022] POST /archives/list/discuss(a)lists.chicagohpc.org/message/ATXUU5VT NBT6TIF72T7WNNHDIJNOROIF/reply => generated 949 bytes in 104 msecs (HTTP/1.0 200) 8 headers in 258 bytes (1 switches on core 1) I'm using nginx as the http server. location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; } location /static/ { alias /opt/mailman/web/static/; autoindex off; } Does anyone have an idea of why posting messages from the web interface never shows up?

That saved me from modifying more things in that file. ### from django.conf import settings ### mod. 30/10/22 ###from django.conf.urls import include, url from django.conf.urls import include from django.urls import re_path as url ##### -- ___________________________________________ Mailman's content filtering has removed the following MIME parts from this message.

In my settings.py I have commented out these variables: # Other security settings # SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT = True # If you set SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT to True, make sure the SECURE_REDIRECT_EXEMPT # contains at least this line: # SECURE_REDIRECT_EXEMPT = [ # "archives/api/mailman/.*", # Request from Mailman. # ] # SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE = True # SECURE_CONTENT_TYPE_NOSNIFF = True # SECURE_BROWSER_XSS_FILTER = True # CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE = True # CSRF_COOKIE_HTTPONLY = True # X_FRAME_OPTIONS = 'DENY' I've been messing with them whith no results. It's like it lacked some value in some template... Can someone, please, point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance -- ___________________________________________ Mailman's content filtering has removed the following MIME parts from this message.

Problems after Upgrade
by Jeff 31 Oct '22

31 Oct '22

Hello, I tried to upgrade to the latest mailman3 version using the following command: pip install -U mailman postorius django-mailman3 hyperkitty mailman-web mailmanclient There didn’t appear to be any problems with this step and I’ve since run it again a few times and only see that the requirements have been satisfied. When first running the command: mailman-web migrate I received several errors dealing with search_text in the package compressor (at least that’s as best as I remember, I wasn’t taking notes). I fixed these manually by changing it to search_str. Eventually "mailman-web migrate” started working and has subsequently worked. When I run the command: mailman-web compress I get the following error: traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/mailman-web", line 8, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/usr/local/mailman3/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/mailman_web/manage.py", line 37, in main execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) File "/usr/local/mailman3/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 446, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "/usr/local/mailman3/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 440, in execute self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv) File "/usr/local/mailman3/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 279, in fetch_command klass = load_command_class(app_name, subcommand) File "/usr/local/mailman3/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 49, in load_command_class return module.Command() File "/usr/local/mailman3/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 274, in __init__ raise TypeError("requires_system_checks must be a list or tuple.") TypeError: requires_system_checks must be a list or tuple. I have not been able to fix this and would appreciate any assistance. When I run the command: bin/mailman-web collectstatic It asks me yes or no continue and when I enter “yes” it displays the following which I assume means it worked: 372 static files copied to '/usr/local/mailman3/web/static', 38 unmodified Starting mailman3 seems to work by the status message shows the following: systemctl status -l mailman3 ...

Mailman3-core rest failure
by Jacob Sievert 30 Oct '22

30 Oct '22

Hello, since our last update from python 3.6 to python 3.9 our mailman server returns the following errors if we try to access the list via postorius. [29/Oct/2022:13:25:25 +0200] "GET /3.1/lists/XXX.XXX.XX/archivers HTTP/1.1" 500 38 "-" "GNU Mailman REST client v3.3.4" I tried to set the logging to a more verbose state but couldn't get a better message yet. If somebody knows what went wrong, that would be great. regards Jacob

Adding users

Hi, I've tried to add new members to the mailing list, but I failed even if I tried 3 ways: - manage.py shell - invitation letter - sending a letter to subscribe. I try to solve it with the Python shell now. Based on this site: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/build/lib/mailman/mode… I tried this one from Debian bash command line, but there is an error message, as you can see at the end. # pwd /usr/share/mailman3-web # ./manage.py shell In [1]: from mailman.interfaces.usermanager import IUserManager In [2]: from zope.component import getUtility In [3]: user_manager = getUtility(IUserManager) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ComponentLookupError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-3-9500ce4250f0> in <module> ----> 1 user_manager = getUtility(IUserManager) /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/zope/component/_api.py in getUtility(interface, name, context) 167 if utility is not None: 168 return utility --> 169 raise ComponentLookupError(interface, name) 170 171 def queryUtility(interface, name='', default=None, context=None): ComponentLookupError: (<InterfaceClass mailman.interfaces.usermanager.IUserManager>, '') What do I wrong. Should I stop all my mailman processes first? Thanks, Arpad

restriction on attrs?
by Stephen J. Turnbull 27 Oct '22

27 Oct '22

Hi, I'm working with a frozen requirements.txt for a full Mailman 3 install (BigCorp QA stuff), and trying to decide whether it's worth fighting BigCorp QA to update it to the recent releases. The previous test install pulled in attrs 22.1.0, but now mailman-3.3.6 restricts attrs<21.3. I can't find any documentation for this change, which Mark made in a change d0595dec76 that's documented to be about lmtp and smtp. What's going on with this change? Steve

New Mailman Releases
by Abhilash Raj 27 Oct '22

27 Oct '22

Hi, I am pleased to announce several new releases for GNU Mailman project. 1. Mailman Core 3.3.6 [1] 2. Postorius 1.3.7 [2] 3. Hyperkitty 1.3.6 [3] 4. Mailmanclient 3.3.4 [4] 5. Django-mailman3 1.3.8 [5] All the releases are published to PyPI and you can find links to all the PyPI projects: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/ A full list of changelogs are available below: [1]: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/NEWS.… [2]: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/postorius/en/latest/news.html#section-2 -- Something weird is going on with the page missing the bullets. [3]: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/hyperkitty/en/latest/news.html#news-1-3-6 [4]: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailmanclient/en/latest/src/mailmanclien… [5]: https://gitlab.com/mailman/django-mailman3/-/blob/master/README.rst Finally, the minimum Python version required is 3.7 although, 3.9 is recommended if you are doing a new install for longest support. 3.10 is supported for Django apps, but Mailman Core is missing that due to one of the core dependencies not support 3.10 yet (aiosmtpd). Thanks to all the contributors for making this release possible and apologies on my end for delayed releases. If you find any issues, you can report them at the respective bug tracker for the projects. The links to issue trackers are available here: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/ -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

Sanity check of upgrade procedure
by David Newman 27 Oct '22

27 Oct '22

The other day Abhilash posted here that updated releases are available. I rarely upgrade my Mailman3 server running in a venv on Debian 11. But when I have there was previously an issue with mistune, requiring commands like this (run as mailman in a venv): pip install -U mailman postorius django-mailman3 hyperkitty mailman-web uwsgi pip install wheel mailman pymysql mysqlclient pip install mistune==2.0.0rc1 mailman-web migrate mailman-web compress mailman-web collectstatic mailman-web compilemessages For these new releases, is that mistune step still needed? Thanks! dn

"Unsubscribe all" button
by Philippe B 21 Oct '22

21 Oct '22

Would it be possible to add a confirmation screen after you click on it? Like: WARNING! Clicking "Confirm" will empty the list of all its existing members, regardless of what was entered on the previous screen. That operation cannot be reversed. Are you absolutely sure that you want no one to be on your list anymore? The reason is that we've had a lot of list owners who populate the "Emails to Unsubscribe" box on the "Mass Removal" page with a subset of the list's subscribers and proceed to click "Unsubscribe all" with the expectation that "all" means all the users explicitly listed in the box. Which means that the site admins have to restore the entire list of subscribers every time... If adding a confirmation screen isn't straightforward, maybe the wording on the buttons could be modified: * Unsubscribe users -> Unsubscribe users listed above * Unsubscribe all -> Empty list of all its existing members (irreversible)!!! In the meantime, this was problematic enough for us that my colleague Dan had to resort to hiding the "Unsubscribe all" button from the web page(s), which isn't ideal.

How to enable VERP?
by Andy Smith 19 Oct '22

19 Oct '22

Hi, I'm a little confused as to how to enable VERP. mailman3 Debian package, version 3.3.3-1, using Exim 4 MTA. In /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg I added: [mailman] … verp_delivery_interval: 1 verp_probes: yes and restarted mailman3.service. The list's "Alter Messages / Personalize" setting is "Individual" (but I tried "Full" as well and saw no difference in VERP behaviour). I can see the MTA is doing an individual delivery for each recipient, and the list's custom footer tells the recipient which address they are subscribed under, so I know that part is working. With VERP enabled I was expecting the Return-Path header in the delivered list mail to include a cookie to identify the individual subscriber, but instead it is "listname-bounces(a)example.com" like always. In mailman.cfg my MTA-related settings are: [mta] incoming: mailman.mta.exim4.LMTP outgoing: mailman.mta.deliver.deliver smtp_host: localhost smtp_port: 25 configuration: python:mailman.config.exim4 And the Exim configuration itself has ther macros, router and transport files from the "Exim" section of here: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-core.html#configuring-mta edited only for correct paths. That's been working for months for delivering list email in and out, but I'm just now trying to enable VERP and it's not happening. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks, Andy

Mailman 3 Hyperkitty indexes not being built
by tom＠gather.coop 19 Oct '22

19 Oct '22

My config looks like this: HAYSTACK_CONNECTIONS = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'haystack.backends.whoosh_backend.WhooshEngine', 'PATH': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "fulltext_index"), ... I have whoosh 2.7.4 installed. But my fulltext_index directory contains only one file, _MAIN_0.toc, which hasn't been updated in two years. What could be going on here? Presumably Hyperkitty should be indexing new messages as they are archived. I could run update_index to fix the index now but then it would just go out of date again. Also asked on SO: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74055901/mailman-3-hyperkitty-indexes-n… Thank you!

URL-lines in templates get folded
by Frank Steinberg 18 Oct '22

18 Oct '22

Hi, I’ve added links to some templates to give owners and moderators shortcuts to the postorius UI for moderation tasks, e.g., I’ve added https://lists.xxx.de/postorius/lists/$list_id/held_messages <https://lists.xxx.de/postorius/lists/$list_id/held_messages> Unfortunately those lines seem to exceed a certain limit and get folded, so that they appear as, e.g. https://lists.xxx.de/postorius/lists/$list_id/held_ <https://lists.xxx.de/postorius/lists/$list_id/held_> messages (or similar) and are not directly useful. Do you have any suggestion for this situation?

Upgrading packages
by Eggert Ehmke 13 Oct '22

13 Oct '22

Hello Mark & all, I have the venv installation on my Debian 11 system running. I followed your suggestion to upgrade all packages. When upgrading hyperkitty by this command: pip install --upgrade git+https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty@master I noticed that mistune-2.0.0rc1 was upgraded to mistune-2.0.4. All packages were upgraded fine. I applied the patch to venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/hyperkitty/lib/renderer.py to change the mistune import line. When I run now mailman-web migrate I get: *CommandError: Conflicting migrations detected; multiple leaf nodes in the migration graph: (0017_auto_20220628_1132, 0018_alter_emailtemplate_language in postorius).* *To fix them run 'python manage.py makemigrations --merge'* However, when I run the suggested command as: $ python ./venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/mailman_web/manage.py makemigrations -- merge No conflicts detected to merge. Can I just ignore this behavior? At the moment, I don't dare to carry out these steps on my production system. Would be nice to shed some light on this. Eggert

Debian 11 mailman3 installation question
by William Oliver 13 Oct '22

I have had an installation of mailman3 running for a year or so with no problems. This was a manual installation. I ended up having to change machines, so I decided to install using the debian 11 package. It seems to have gone well except.... when I restart mailman3 service, I get the following fail and error message: oot@emergenis:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled# systemctl restart mailman3 Job for mailman3.service failed because the control process exited with error code.

Performance issues with Mailman 3
by Wong, Wesley 08 Oct '22

08 Oct '22

Hi, I am having some performance problems with Mailman 3 (version 3.3.5) when it sends out a lot of messages to people. We recently migrated from our old Mailman 2.1.x system to Mailman 3.x about 3 months ago. We host about 350 lists with membership counts varying between 10 to 1500 members on some of the lists. I noticed that outbound messages from Mailman to our outbound SMTP are getting delayed up to an hour when Mailman is processing a lot of messages going to lists. I was wondering if there are good performance tuning tips to be considered for Mailman 3 (i.e. OS, database and/os Mailman Core). I am running the setup on a VM. Here is my configuration for VM and OS: VM config: ESX 6.7 (CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6242) 4 CPU 8 GB SLES 15 SP3 Python 3.9.10 MariaDB 10.5.17 Mailman 3.3.5 Thanks. wesley Wesley Wong Senior Systems Engineer Anderson Computing & Information Services | ACIS 310-206-2571 [ucla-logo---new_smaller] ___________________________________________ Mailman's content filtering has removed the following MIME parts from this message.

Mailman2 CLI commands for Mailman3
by Dave Hall 05 Oct '22

05 Oct '22

Hello. Sorry if this is an old topic. I'm in the process of migrating from 2.1 to 3.2. In my use case one of the advantages of Mailman 2.1 vs services like Google Groups has been the ability to manage lists from the command line. Things like using sync_members to update the list for a committee when the membership of the committee is updated one a year, or like using find_members and remove_members to remove a user from all mailing lists when they leave the organization. Even the ability to script mailing list creation. So far I haven't found these commands in Mailman3. I hope there is a plan to add these soon. Thanks. -Dave -- Dave Hall Binghamton University kdhall(a)binghamton.edu

Django site - how to create programmatically - new install
by daniel.botting＠codethink.co.uk 03 Oct '22

03 Oct '22

Hi all, I've mainly setup mailman3 to replace our mailman 2.1 install using Ansible, a point I could do with some assistance on is setting the fqdn used programmatically. I've been doing alot of reading before creating this thread. To create a domain I currently navigate to: https://serverfqdn.com/postorius/domains/ and click 'Add Domain'. I believe this is setting the name of the Django site, please accept my apologies if I'm wrong and the SITE_ID=1 is then used, I am only planning to use one domain only. I'm using Postgres and when I check the contents of the Django_mailman3_maildomain table as below afterwards: mailman3web=# TABLE django_mailman3_maildomain; id | mail_domain | site_id ----+--------------------------------------+--------- 1 | mailman3-test2.guest.codethink.co.uk | 1 Many thanks Daniel

Upgrade Mailmam Core from
by sascha.rissel＠gmail.com 03 Oct '22

03 Oct '22

Hello, I have newly set up Mailman 3 on Ubuntu 20.04. Sending and receiving mails between list members does work, but I am currently experiencing two issues: 1) a lists non-members who send mails to the list don't get notified about the message being held for moderation. Moderation itself doesn't seem to work. The moderation list is always empty. 2) Archiving is activated within list settings, but there isn't any archive created. I found this thread, where the first of these issues is also described: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… Here there is an incompatibility between Mailmain 3 and Python depicted, which also seems to affect me. I am running Mailman 3.2.2 on Python 3 .8.10. So I need to either upgrade Mailman Core or downgrade Python. I already did > apt-get upgrade > apt-get update Unfortunately this didn't upgrade Mailman Core's version. Which steps do I have to undertake to upgrade Mailman Core? Regards, Sascha.

I'm concerned that Mailman seems to have scored my address as bouncing even though it isn't, merely because it appears inside a message that was rejected. Is that expected? Is there any way to avoid it? I see that Mailman has a bunch of heuristics to parse bounce messages. In this case though, there shouldn't have been a bounce message received to users-bounces@, as this was an SMTP-time rejection. Mailman seems to have parsed addresses out of the actual mail it was sending, rather than only scoring the subscriber address it was trying to send a list posting to. Cheers, Andy

Help addressing some issues with mailman 3 docker images
by Clark Boylan 01 Oct '22

01 Oct '22

Hello, Some of us at opendev.org are looking to migrate to mailman 3 for our list servers. We've got about 98% of things sorted out using maxking's docker images (thank you for publishing those along with excellent documentation). There are however a small number of things that we've run into that we'd like to address before we take this to production. * Mailman 3 relies on lynx to convert html email to txt email. Lynx isn't currently installed in the docker images, but I've pushed a PR to add it to the images. https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/pull/552 * There are some user and group inconsistencies between the images. Not a deal breaker, but would be good to understand if these are intentional or if they can be changed without massively impacting people. https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/issues/550 * Issues with ALLOWED_HOSTS settings making assumptions about the environment and its inputs. We've worked around these by bind mounting in our own settings.py with these problems addressed, but it would be good to address them in case anyone else has run into this too. Details in these github issues: https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/issues/548 https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/issues/549 Ideally we'd avoid forking the images downstream and modifying them ourselves, but it seems the docker image repo is not getting a ton of attention recently. Totally understand that this may not be the biggest priority. We're happy to help address these by writing fixes and sending pull requests, but guidance would be appreciated before we head too far down that road. Once again thank you for the great documentation and images. They have already gotten us most of the way to production and the issues we've found are relatively minor. Clark

serving /static-content within /mailman3-web-Folder - change in recent mm release
by Stefan Bauer 30 Sep '22

30 Sep '22

Hi Folks, during our migration to latest MM we noticed, that nowadays, the static content is not served from within mailmans base directory, but from outside. old MM3: domain.tld/mailman3/static/django-mailman3/js/main.js new MM3: domain.tld/static/django-mailman3/js/main.js Is there a chance to change it to the old behavior? We are running an additional nginx-proxy in front of mailman-server and dont want to forward /static, but only /mailman3. Thank you.

Greetings, We will be (temporarily) splitting our single postfix instance and running two separate instances on our email server. Can we configure mailman to listen to one of them and send to the other? If so, please do direct us towards how we would go about configuring mailman to do this. versions: mailman: 2.1.15-30.el7_9.2 postfix: 2.10.1-9.el7 (both via rh/centos repo(s)) thanks so very much for any assistance/direction you're able to provide, ~c -- Charlie Derr Director of Instructional Technology Bard College at Simon's Rock https://simons-rock.edu Encryption key: http://hope.simons-rock.edu/~cderr/ 413-528-7344 Pronouns: he/him/his

HI folks, latest mm3, when starting a new thread via mm3-webinterface -> Archives -> select List -> Start a new thread. It creates the thread with _my own_ personal address. How can i set the "sender" address as the list-address? IIRC with an older mm version, it had a different behavior. Any help is greatly appreciated. thank you. Stefan

what process creates webui tables (mailmanweb db)?
by tflatley＠gmail.com 27 Sep '22

27 Sep '22

hello again, running a venv installation i think the tables in 2 databases (mailman/mailmanweb) were initially created by running mailman-web migrate - this wrapper is not available in a package install - so i think i need to run something like this after editing my settings.py file python3 manage.py migrate Operations to perform: Apply all migrations: account, admin, auth, contenttypes, django_mailman3, django_q, hyperkitty, postorius, sessions, sites, socialaccount Running migrations: No migrations to apply. Your models have changes that are not yet reflected in a migration, and so won't be applied. Run 'manage.py makemigrations' to make new migrations, and then re-run 'manage.py migrate' to apply them. i do see tables in the mailman db but mailmanweb is empty - is there a different flag i need to run to seed the mailmanweb db? Thanks

Help understanding why some users don't receive emails
by Stephen Daniel 22 Sep '22

22 Sep '22

Mailman3 people --- I'm a novice at running mailman, so any advice would be appreciated. I manage a few small lists using a mailman3 server. A few of my users complain they do not receive emails. Looking at one user in particular, I see in /var/log/syslog that postfix is sending the email. There is nothing in bounce.log. They are the only user who uses that particular email domain (embarqmail.com ). Is there anything I can do to debug why they do not get the emails? Or is this up to them and their email provider? Thanks! -- Steve Daniel

Hi On a new installation I'm seeing "example.com" displayed at the top of the HyperKitty pages. I was expecting to see "lists.mydomainname.com", so I think I've missed something somewhere. Also, when a user signs up, the confirmation email reads as: ////////////////////////// SUBJECT: [example.com] Please Confirm Your E-mail Address FROM: postorius(a)lists.mydomainname.com BODY: Hello from example.com! You're receiving this e-mail because user yogibear has given your e- mail address to register an account on example.com.

How to delete non-users
by Allan Hansen 17 Sep '22

17 Sep '22

Hi all, This is a bit of an emergency: I am getting a bunch of complaints from potential list members of my lists that they can't subscribe and they don't get messages. Apparently, the issue is that they are non-members. I have never created any non-members but looking at the docs it seems that if someone sends a message to the list, they automatically become non-members. For individuals I have been able to delete their non-membership and they then could subscribe properly. I have looked at some of my most popular lists and they have hundreds of non-members! It will take me an awful amount of time to remove each one manually, and not doing it - handling each as they complain - is also a lot of waste of time and cause of frustration for all involved. I have tried scripting it with delmember, but it does not take the '-r nonmember' option ('findmember' does!). Can anyone help me find out how to a. delete all non-members of all my lists b. prevent MM3 from creating new non-members in the future (so I don't have to keep removing them) Any help with this is appreciated. Yours, Allan I'm still at Mailman Core Version GNU Mailman 3.3.3 (Tom Sawyer) Mailman Core API Version 3.1 Mailman Core Python Version 3.7.3 (default, Jan 22 2021, 20:04:44) [GCC 8.3.0] My system used to be kept up to date by EMWD, but since Brian died have not been able to get it updated, and I'm too scared (from my attempts at installing MM3) to attempt it myself. If the above can only be solved via an update, I'd appreciate a referral.

Hi all, Not sure why, but messages set to be held for moderation are appearing to be discarded. I've tried creating a new test list, adjusting settings at the user and list level, but when a user sends a message that should be held for moderation, nothing happens. smtp.log shows the message is going through but it doesn't get to the moderation queue.

Message-Footer after migrating to Mailman3
by christopher.claus＠tgcamberg1848.de 13 Sep '22

13 Sep '22

Hello together, I migrated a number of lists from mailman2 to mailman3 using the import functionality. Everthing works fine and the new lists are in use. Currently I´m using the maxking-docker-images with postorius: Mailman Core Version GNU Mailman 3.3.3 (Tom Sawyer) Mailman Core API Version 3.1 Mailman Core Python Version 3.8.5 (default, Feb 19 2021, 09:27:16) [GCC 9.3.0] After this migration I started a refactoring with the list-styles specially with message-footers. Already the old lists in mailman2 were confused in some configuration details an I was clear to import this "misconfiguration" and clean it up afterwards. But this was much more difficult than expected: some lists are using a footer (from the mailman2-config) and there is no record in the template-section visible. Further I found no configuration item which points to this "old" footer. I found the file [code] /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mailman/templates/de/list:member:generic:footer.txt [/code] which includes the old footer: [code] _______________________________________________ $display_name Mailingliste -- $listname Zur Abmeldung von dieser Mailingliste senden Sie eine Nachricht an ${short_listname}-leave@${domain} [/code] but no configuration item to disable this behaviour. I created a new template list:member:regular:footer for the list to override the footer. But the old footer is still used - in detail: the resulting message sent to all subcribers of the list contains only the footer and the content sent to the list is an attachement of that "footer-message". This is the basic reason why I want to change it. In the logfiles I found an error and a warning: [code] ERROR 2021-05-24 16:22:22,895 1648 django.security.DisallowedHost Invalid HTTP_HOST header: 'tgc_mailman_web:8000'. The domain name provided is not valid according to RFC 1034/1035. WARNING 2021-05-24 16:22:22,896 1648 django.request Bad Request: /postorius/api/templates/list/homepage.gruppe.tgcamberg1848.de/list:member:regular:footer [/code] Obviously I have a problem with the hostname. I set [code] POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL=http://tgc_mailman_web:8000 [/code] where tgc_mailman_web is my container name. This URL ist stored in the DB-table "template" for the name=list:member:regular:footer. A call to my fqdn or to localhost [code] wget http://localhost:8000/postorius/api/templates/list/homepage.gruppe.tgcamber… [/code] will return the footer itself - this works fine. Therefore, should i set POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL to http://localhost:8000? I think, resolving this issue will use the newly configured footer. But I started with the intention to remove alle footers due to the attachement situation described above. Does anybody have an idea how to change the configuration of my list? Are these problems probably related to the import? Currently we are using more then 25 lists with a lot of users. Manually recreating all lists is not possible an could only be a test for a single list. Best regards, chrclaus

"The content of this message was lost."
by skenny＠scss.tcd.ie 12 Sep '22

12 Sep '22

I see that this issue has been discussed in a few other postings - it seems to be affecting us here at the moment. We're running Mailman 3.3.5 inside maxking's mailman-core/mailman-web Docker containers (version 0.4.3). This morning I composed a mail message and included two of our mailing lists in the To: field. On the first list I'm a member with address of the form my_addr_1(a)this.com. On the second I'm on it with a different address, my_addr_2(a)that.com. In the case of each list, Mailman held the message for moderation. As administrator, I accepted both. I then got the full message in my inbox at my_addr_1(a)this.com, but in my other inbox at my_addr_2(a)that.com, the body of the message was not present. Instead it read The content of this message was lost. It was probably cross-posted to multiple lists and previously handled on another list. I'm wondering what's the best thing to do here. Should I maybe downgrade to an earlier version of Mailman (i.e. an earlier version of maxking's Docker containers), pending resolution of this issue ...? Thanks for any advice.

How to set uWSGI buffer size in mailman3 with Dcoker
by bob B 08 Sep '22

08 Sep '22

Running into an issue where users are getting a 502 bade gateway and we traced it down to the headers that are getting sent when they request web pages. This looks like our issue ********************* By default, uWSGI allocates a very small buffer (4096 bytes) for the headers of each request. If you start receiving “invalid request block size” in your logs, it could mean you need a bigger buffer. Increase it (up to 65535) with the buffer-size option. ********* So any idea on how to set this in mailman3 running in the maxking docker environment?

mailman3 not working for mailman21 lists
by blup＠fortytwo.ch 06 Sep '22

06 Sep '22

I installed mailman3 on a server where mailman21 was installed before. Newly created mailinglists work fine. But if I create mailinglists with a name that was previously used on mailman21 nothing works (same behaviour with and without import of old configs and archives; no logs). I purged all old mailman21 config and data and also old postfix aliases (or at least I do think so). If I send a mail to old list list1(a)a.b and new list list2(a)a.b I get the following logs /var/log/mail.log Aug 21 22:17:40 basilisgg postfix/lmtp[1728]: ED2171120BF: to=<list2(a)c.a.b>, orig_to=<list2(a)a.b>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:8024, delay=0.31, delays=0.17/0.01/0/0.13, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Ok) Aug 21 22:17:40 basilisgg postfix/lmtp[1728]: ED2171120BF: to=<list1(a)c.a.b>, orig_to=<list1(a)a.b>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:8024, delay=0.31, delays=0.17/0.01/0/0.13, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Ok) /var/log/mailman3/smtp.log ug 21 22:17:40 2022 (934) Available AUTH mechanisms: LOGIN(builtin) PLAIN(builtin) Aug 21 22:17:40 2022 (934) Peer: ('127.0.0.1', 44746) Aug 21 22:17:40 2022 (934) ('127.0.0.1', 44746) handling connection Aug 21 22:17:40 2022 (934) ('127.0.0.1', 44746) Data: b'LHLO c.a.b' Aug 21 22:17:40 2022 (934) ('127.0.0.1', 44746) Data: b'MAIL FROM:<....>' Aug 21 22:17:40 2022 (934) ('127.0.0.1', 44746) sender: ....

FYI: Django security releases issued: 4.0.6 and 3.2.14
by Guillermo Hernandez (Oldno7) 29 Aug '22

https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2022/jul/04/security-releases/ Django security releases issued: 4.0.6 and 3.2.14 Posted by *Mariusz Felisiak* on Julio 4, 2022 In accordance with our security release policy <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/security/>, the Django team is issuing Django 4.0.6 <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/4.0.6/> and Django 3.2.14 <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/3.2.14/>. These release addresses the security issue detailed below. We encourage all users of Django to upgrade as soon as possible. CVE-2022-34265: Potential SQL injection via Trunc(kind) and Extract(lookup_name) arguments Trunc() and Extract() database functions were subject to SQL injection if untrusted data was used as a kind/lookup_name value. Applications that constrain the lookup name and kind choice to a known safe list are unaffected. This security release mitigates the issue, but we have identified improvements to the Database API methods related to date extract and truncate that would be beneficial to add to Django 4.1 before it's final release. This will impact 3rd party database backends using Django 4.1 release candidate 1 or newer, until they are able to update to the API changes. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks Takuto Yoshikai (Aeye Security Lab) for the report. This issue has severity "high" according to the Django security policy. -- ___________________________________________ Mailman's content filtering has removed the following MIME parts from this message.

Migrated from MM2 to MM3, all is well except *one* list
by Scott Courtney 28 Aug '22

28 Aug '22

Hello, all I have migrated a multi-list server from MM2 to MM3, on Debian 11, and migrated about half a dozen lists with fairly large archives. Absolutely everything has been working for a couple of months, but I am still unable to get one specific list to send mail to its subscribers. Of course, the first place I started was the logs, but that's the problem -- even with logging turned up, it appears to be failing silently as it connects to the MTA. Here's a summary of the environment: OS: Debian Linux 11, 64-bit, on a virtual machine MTA: Exim 4.94.2 List server: Mailman 3.3.3 (installed from Debian repo) Database: MariaDB 10.5.15 All daemons are running on the same host, and communication is either UNIX socket or loopback network interface, for security. Web server: Apache 2.4.53, with proxy to WSGI per the MM3 setup guide Symptom: There are six lists on the server. All six can accept inbound traffic and will post the messages to the (always private, in this environment) archives. The web interface is working perfectly. Five of the lists also can send out messages to subscribers, but the sixth list cannot send traffic to the MTA, or is not attempting to do so. Tests run so far (all resulting in successful posting to archives, but no outbound mail): * Originate mail from inbound SMTP to the list address. * Originate mail from the web UI as a member/moderator. * Originate mail from the web UI as the site admin (also the list owner). * Originate mail from both inbound SMTP and web UI by multiple users. Log data for the inbound traffic (typical test message, some data redacted): 2022-08-27 15:11:57 1oS1Dn-003AWH-Hz <= REDACTED H=REDACTED:25 P=esmtps X=TLS1.3:ECDHE_X25519__RSA_PSS_RSAE_SHA256__AES_128_GCM:128 CV=no K S=2552 DKIM=REDACTED id=REDACTED T="TEST 8.27.001" 2022-08-27 15:11:57 1oS1Dn-003AWH-Hz => MY_LIST(a)lists.MY_DOMAIN R=mailman_main_director T=mailman3_transport H=127.0.0.1 [127.0.0.1] I=[127.0.0.1] C="250 Ok" 2022-08-27 15:11:57 1oS1Dn-003AWH-Hz Completed Log data for MM3 smtp.log (again, partially redacted): Aug 27 15:11:57 2022 (690182) Available AUTH mechanisms: LOGIN(builtin) PLAIN(builtin) Aug 27 15:11:57 2022 (690182) Peer: ('127.0.0.1', 48170) Aug 27 15:11:57 2022 (690182) ('127.0.0.1', 48170) handling connection Aug 27 15:11:57 2022 (690182) ('127.0.0.1', 48170) Data: b'LHLO REDACTED' Aug 27 15:11:57 2022 (690182) ('127.0.0.1', 48170) Data: b'MAIL FROM:<REDACTED>' Aug 27 15:11:57 2022 (690182) ('127.0.0.1', 48170) sender: REDACTED Aug 27 15:11:57 2022 (690182) ('127.0.0.1', 48170) Data: b'RCPT TO:<erevnite(a)lists.4th.com>' Aug 27 15:11:57 2022 (690182) ('127.0.0.1', 48170) recip: MY_LIST(a)lists.MY_DOMAIN Aug 27 15:11:57 2022 (690182) ('127.0.0.1', 48170) Data: b'DATA' Aug 27 15:11:57 2022 (690182) ('127.0.0.1', 48170) Data: b'QUIT' Aug 27 15:11:57 2022 (690182) ('127.0.0.1', 48170) connection lost Aug 27 15:11:57 2022 (690182) Connection lost during _handle_client() Originally I thought the "connection lost" indicated a failure, but that is happening for all the lists, and also on successful traffic. Since it occurs after the QUIT command in the SMTP session, and based on some online searching, my current understanding is that this is harmless and simply indicates the MTA closed the socket after the QUIT.

I know Exim and Mailman are communicating because all the lists use the same SMTP configuration for Exim and Mailman (i.e., the non-working list is not in any way exceptional). I've done a lot of searching online to find a solution, and I did see that a couple of others had asked about this type of problem, but the only one I found that got a response had an issue that didn't apply in my small environment. Absent any other ideas, I'm going to try inserting some trace logging into the Python code, but I can't figure out what's wrong here. I've even gone to the point of looking at the SQL rows to verify this list is exactly parallel to another working list, except its name and integer ID numbers for various unique auto-increment keys. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

Using REST with CLI using curl .... help needed
by Krešimir Mihalj 27 Aug '22

27 Aug '22

Hi ! I need simple add/delete member to list using rest ..... but all documentation is for python and not helpfull for me, .... and I need these in CLI using curl command .... To add member using CLI i tried this command: curl -d "{'list_id' : 'list.domain.com', 'subscriber' : 'user(a)email.com'}" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --user restadmin:restpass http://localhost:8001/3.0/members and I got this response: Missing parameters: list_id, subscriber What is wrong in above command here ? ..... I need to add user: user(a)email.com to list: list(a)domain.com Also, if someone is willing to give example: delete user: user(a)email.com from list: list(a)domain.com I actually create PHP application .... but CLI example is easy to reproduce in PHP function AddUserToList($user,$lista) { $url = 'http://llocalhost:8001/3.0'; $request_url = $url . '/members'; $data = array("list_id" => $lista,"subscriber" => $user ); $postdata = json_encode($data); $ch = curl_init($request_url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "restadmin:restpass"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json')); $result = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); print_r ($result); } AddUserToList('user(a)email.com','list.domain.com');

DKIM header not added to subscribe/unsubscribe notification email
by Philip Colmer 24 Aug '22

24 Aug '22

I have a Mailman 3 server set up with OpenDKIM and Postfix. Each of the lists has been configured so that the DMARC mitigation is "Replace From: with list address" and DMARC Mitigate unconditionally is selected. Everything seems to be working fine *except* when the system sends a notification email to the list owners of someone subscribing or unsubscribing. *Those* emails do not have the DKIM header added and are getting trapped by anti-spam systems as a result. Any suggestions as to why this might be, please? I cannot see anything in the configuration for OpenDKIM or Postfix that might allow just those messages to go out unsigned. In case it is relevant/important, this system is running: mailman 3.3.5 mailman-hyperkitty 1.2.0 mailman-web 0.0.5 mailmanclient 3.3.3 Thank you. Regards Philip

MM3 not starting
by max.diener＠hpi.de 22 Aug '22

22 Aug '22

Hi, i am trying to install MM3 and had a few issues with it. First i was trying the Mailman3-full package for Debian which didnt work good for me. There was missing paths and files, after some research i found out it may not be well maintained right now. I was working to fix the issue i come up with but had no luck with it. After that i was trying this Howto: https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Howto_Install_Mailman3_On_Debian10 the Installation worked in some aspect. i had a running mailman3 service but the webinterfaces was not working. After some searching i found a issue that was stating that the current release had a bug in it wich made it not working. For instance was the config file different for "systemctl start mailman3" then when i was checking it "mailman info" and some paths was not like in the instructions again, this time i added the folders and put the files needed for it in to it but could not make it work. i kept digging and find out for prod it is best practice to install in a virtual environment so i waited for the bug to fix and took this Installation Instructions: https://docs.list.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#virtualenv-install i was a little bit confused that there seems to be two spots from the official site where you can find Installation Instructions: https://wiki.list.org/DOC/ and https://docs.list.org/ since the last one made it seem like it was newer i choose the venv installation instructions. From the install instructions at https://docs.list.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#virtualenv-install i was seeing that there is also some folders not showing up like mentioned in the howto: /op/mailman/mm was not there. In the part where you configure mailman core it says you need to add the /etc/mailman/mailman.cfg file it shows that the path is used for the hyperkitty config as well as it is the path vor the "var_dir: /opt/mailman/mm/var". i added the paths and at the point in the install instructions here https://docs.list.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#starting-mailman-au… i checked if i can start mailman3 now but still fail to do so. when i check "journalctl -xe" i find the following information but cant get more information on how to fix it in the net with it: Aug 22 09:54:05

Gunicorn problem?
by Odhiambo Washington 14 Aug '22

Ubuntu 22.04, Mailman3. I am having two problems with the installation of MM3. This has been installed today by referring to https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Howto_Install_Mailman3_On_Debian10 1.

Cannot connect to SMTP server
by mkummini＠cmi.ac.in 14 Aug '22

14 Aug '22

Hello. I am setting up a new mailman3 server (debian 11). `mailman3-full` is installed on the same server as postfix (our MTA). There is just one test mailing list now. When I send a message to it (I am a subscriber), mailman3 accepts the message through LMTP. Both the postfix log and mailman.log confirm this. Postfix log: Aug 14 03:21:25 mail postfix/lmtp[4097036]: 44E49272437D: to=<testlist(a)cmi.ac.in>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:8024, delay=0.15, delays=0.02/0.03/0.01/0.09, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Ok) mailman.log: Aug 14 03:21:26 2022 (4096856) ACCEPT: <Yvgc3WsoFlpZbypw(a)cmi.ac.in> (The digest.mmdf file shows the test message I sent. Hence mailman3 has received the message from postfix.) However, after this, the postfix log does not show any attempt by mailman3 to send the message to the list members. The following runners have started (after the most recent mailman3 restart) Aug 14 03:19:53 2022 (4096853) archive runner started. Aug 14 03:19:53 2022 (4096863) retry runner started.

However, I get the following line each time I do a restart Aug 14 03:19:57 2022 (4096859) Cannot connect to SMTP server localhost on port 587 I tried to specify the name of the postfix server, though it runs on the same machine as mailman3, and the different ports : 25, 465 and 587; they all raise the same error. Following <https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/runners/do…>, I tried to create an outgoing test runner, but that resulted in the following errors. >>> from mailman.runners.outgoing import OutgoingRunner >>> from mailman.testing.helpers import make_testable_runner >>> outgoing = make_testable_runner(OutgoingRunner, 'out') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/testing/helpers.py", line 92, in make_testable_runner return EmptyingRunner(name) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/testing/helpers.py", line 79, in __init__ super().__init__(*args, **kws) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/runners/outgoing.py", line 53, in __init__ super().__init__(slice, numslices) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 63, in __init__ section = getattr(config, 'runner.' + name) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/config/config.py", line 123, in __getattr__ return getattr(self._config, name) AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'runner.out' Here are the lines in mailman.cfg referring to smtp smtp_secure_mode : starttls smtp_host: localhost smtp_port: 587 If you could suggest how I could fix this issue, it would be great.

RE in Ban List
by Peter Chubb 12 Aug '22

12 Aug '22

Hi I tried to add the regular expression sales@.* to the ban list for one of my lists and got: An error occurred: Invalid Parameter "email": Expected a valid email address or regular expression, got sales@.*. Now, 'sales@.*' _is_ a valid regular expression --- so why did it fail? (I wanted to ban that set of addresses, because we get an awful lot of chinese spam from sales@some-company-name where the company name is variable) Peter C

MM3 not processing some mails from specific user
by Stefan Bauer 12 Aug '22

12 Aug '22

Hi, we are running MM3¹ and from time to time, a mail to a mailing list is not processed by MM. MM sees the mail but still does nothing with it. If another user is sending _same_ mail, it is processed. Any idea what that could be? Here are some logs: Apr 27 13:02:13 2022 (1919) ('127.0.0.1', 44800) handling connection Apr 27 13:02:13 2022 (1919) ('127.0.0.1', 44800) Data: b'LHLO mal01.mydomain.tld' Apr 27 13:02:13 2022 (1919) ('127.0.0.1', 44800) Data: b'MAIL FROM:<john.doe(a)mydomain.tld>' Apr 27 13:02:13 2022 (1919) ('127.0.0.1', 44800) sender: john.doe(a)mydomain.tld Apr 27 13:02:13 2022 (1919) ('127.0.0.1', 44800) Data: b'RCPT TO:<ssa(a)mydomain.tld>' Apr 27 13:02:13 2022 (1919) ('127.0.0.1', 44800) recip: ssa(a)mydomain.tld Apr 27 13:02:13 2022 (1919) ('127.0.0.1', 44800) Data: b'DATA' Apr 27 13:02:13 2022 (1919) ('127.0.0.1', 44800) Data: b'QUIT' Apr 27 13:02:13 2022 (1919) ('127.0.0.1', 44800) connection lost Here is a snipped from same user, but different mail that is also not processed by MM: Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Kleine_=C4nderung?= From: john.doe(a)mydomain.tld To: =?us-ascii?Q?ssa=40mydomain=2Etld?= <ssa(a)mydomain.tld> Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2022 12:33:36 +0000 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="=_m+9Z-w1zPVUy50id4xiOsxEs50Bl3xTDSq7AWqqonRf21H5c" Thread-Index: AdistWce8WLKbSqIReeBnR+y5yR5Mw== Message-Id: <kcEE.3C4Toxi/SomLpNH7qUNdhg.gBB2y7Ws2AE(a)mx1.mydomain.tld> This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Mailman recovery test did not go as planned
by bob B 09 Aug '22

09 Aug '22

I have a test Mailman 3 environment. We are using docker, and we are running the database outside of docker in mysql. I need to perform a DR recovery test. I shut down Mailman in docker (mailman-core & mailman-web, the only docker images I have running for Mailman). While Mailman was stopped, I had our database team take a backup dump of the database. I then restarted Mailman in docker. I threw some more messages at a test list. I validated that the new messages were delivered, and showed up in the archive. I shut down Mailman again. I had the database team restore the Mailman database from the backup. I started Mailman I logged into Mailman I was expecting to see the messages in the archive prior to the backup and all the messages after the backup would be gone. When went into the list archive, I get a spinning icon and no messages showed up. I quit, restarted my browser, and logged in again, and the same thing. I then sent a test message to the list and the message was delivered to the list. Then when I went to check the archive, the spinning icon was gone and that test message was there along with all the messages before the backup was taken. Is this normal? After a restore did the new message cause a refresh of archived messages etc? Is there a way to do this without sending a message to a list after a restoration of the database? Are there better steps I should take when restoring the database? Thanks

Detectors and Bounces
by summersan＠nclack.k12.or.us 05 Aug '22

05 Aug '22

Hello All, I've recently upgraded a Mailman 3 server from Debian 10.12 to Debian 11.4 [1]. In that process, I've also upgraded Mailman 3 from version 3.3.4 to version 3.3.5. I think the following guide was originally used when setting up Mailman 3 on the present server: https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Howto_Install_Mailman3_On_Debian10 . After that upgrade process, I've noticed that at least one `mailman` process and one `postgres` process were at something like 40 %CPU or higher for extended periods of time (seen using `top` command). Upon further inspection, and through some research online, it seemed like the issue might have to do with bounces (maybe not processing or something) [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. In my logcheck logs, I was seeing this message multiple times a second: `Running detector: <class 'flufl.bounce._detectors.dsn.DSN'>` I ended up trying to clear out the `/opt/mailman/mm/var/queue/bounces` and `/opt/mailman/mm/var/locks` directories to see if that would help. There seemed to be some sort of positive change, because the log message "spamming" seemed to decrease. The high %CPU for the `mailman` and `postgres` processes in question also seemed to go down over time. But the related `mailman` process would still run at a high %CPU from time to time. I tried checking the `mailman` process using `strace` at some point, but I didn't see an easily evident cause for what was going on—from what I remember, there was something about a "POLLIN" or something that kept looping. When I go to check the same `mailman` process with `strace` today, I just see occasional messages like this: `select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {tv_sec=45, tv_usec=43171}) = 0 (Timeout)` My Questions: Is it normal to see large amounts of `Running detector: <class 'flufl.bounce._detectors.dsn.DSN'>` lines in logs? Should there normally be other detectors listed in the logs beyond the `DSN` one? If so, is there a setting I can change somewhere to make this happen? For reference, I can only find one other logcheck log that shows a `Running detector: <class 'flufl.bounce._detectors.dsn.DSN'>` line from before the recent Mailman 3 upgrade. In that past logcheck log, there are other detectors listed as well, which makes me wonder if something is still stuck with the new Mailman 3 install (or if maybe something needs to be changed in a setting file somewhere): Here is an example of previous log lines: Running detector: <class 'flufl.bounce._detectors.sina.Sina'> Running detector: <class 'flufl.bounce._detectors.llnl.LLNL'> Running detector: <class 'flufl.bounce._detectors.exim.Exim'> Running detector: <class 'flufl.bounce._detectors.qmail.Qmail'> Running detector: <class 'flufl.bounce._detectors.exchange.Exchange'> Running detector: <class 'flufl.bounce._detectors.netscape.Netscape'> Running detector: <class 'flufl.bounce._detectors.dsn.DSN'> Running detector: <class 'flufl.bounce._detectors.caiwireless.Caiwireless'> Running detector: <class 'flufl.bounce._detectors.aol.AOL'> Running detector: <class 'flufl.bounce._detectors.yale.Yale'> Running detector: <class 'flufl.bounce._detectors.smtp32.SMTP32'> Running detector: <class 'flufl.bounce._detectors.groupwise.GroupWise'> Running detector: <class 'flufl.bounce._detectors.simplewarning.SimpleWarning'> Running detector: <class 'flufl.bounce._detectors.microsoft.Microsoft'> Running detector: <class 'flufl.bounce._detectors.postfix.Postfix'> Running detector: <class 'flufl.bounce._detectors.simplematch.SimpleMatch'> Running detector: <class 'flufl.bounce._detectors.yahoo.Yahoo'> Thank you for your time, Andy ----- Web References: [1] https://www.debian.org/News/2022/2022032602 [2] https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-developers@python.org/thread/… [3] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T282348 [4] https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/thread/MISUM… [5] https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… [6] https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message… [7] https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… [8] https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/…

Hello, I'm in the process of configuring Rspamd with the Mailman3 server. If Rspamd flags a message under 'greylist' and accepts it after the temporary rejection, is there any way mailman can move that message to the moderator's queue? if it is possible, can someone send me the instructions, please? Kind regards, Prasanth Nair

Mailman 3 questions (purge archives, list metrics, and auto discard held messages)
by bob B 02 Aug '22

02 Aug '22

Some quick mailman3 questions --Just wanted to check that there is still no way for mailman3 to automatically purge archived emails after a set amount of time? it looks like you have to export the database, purge the messages, then re-import, is this still the only/best way to purge old archived messages? --I noticed on the list info page you have metrics, which is straightforward except for "volume" My volume number is not increasing? What is that counting exactly? --Is there any way to auto discard held messages after x amount of time? I assume not but had a user ask if that was an option. Thanks for the assistance in advance.

A customer we support wants to migrate a substantial Mailman 2 installation to Mailman 3. We have a team that can handle much, even perhaps most of this, but it’s an important project and we’d prefer to have a deep expert on the team for help/advice and the heavy lifting. Can anyone here recommend and engineer, perhaps even you, who could get involved with us commercially to help make a Mailman 2 to 3 migration successful? Thank you all, and I hope I’ve not violated any list guidelines by asking… You can contact me off-list if you prefer - I’m quite easy to find… Best regards to all, Mark Mark Taylor, Chief Executive Officer SiriUS: Infrastructure for Entrepreneurs® https://www.siriusopensource.com t: +001 509 254 5005

Programmatic Creation of Users
by jciesla＠techsupportme.com 30 Jul '22

30 Jul '22

I am returning to Mailman after being away for a LONG time and I need to create 40 lists with ~350 subscribers spread across those lists. After a lot of testing I am now able to create users from the Core Shell and set (most of) the necessary values. Having jumped that hurdle I have hit a roadblock and I am hoping that the list can provide some insight and/or solutions. After a lot of research I now understand that what I am doing in the Core Shell is creating a User entity which has one or more email addresses as well as one or more roles and preferences that exist at the global level. This user entity can Subscribe to zero or more lists. If I am incorrect in the summation please let me know! Assuming that the previous information is correct that brings us to my current dilemma. Specifically, the User entity can Subscribe and interact with lists using the email commands, but they can't Login using the Postorius web interface. If I understand correctly the reason that they can't login is that the underlying Django system does not recognize their account because the account that was created in Core isn't accessible by Django. Instead the user needs to create a Django-specific account at which point the information from Core becomes available in the user's web UI. If that is in fact accurate then I want to take the next logical leap: is it possible to programmatically create an account in Django that is tied to the account that was created in Core? Any information is greatly appreciated! -John

Shorted Subjects in Mailman
by Stephan Krinetzki 27 Jul '22

27 Jul '22

Hello all, We have been experiencing the following problem lately: When a user sends a mail with an unusually long subject to a mailing list, this subject is shortened. Here are the two examples: Original subject: "[SAV-LINUX] Notice from Sophos Anti-Virus on lx1bcms-storage.physik.rwth-aachen.de" (82 characters long) Subject in Mailman: "[edv-support][SAV-LINUX] Notice from Sophos Anti-Virus on" (57 characters long) Is there a rule that Mailman truncates the subject or why does this happen? Is there any way to work around this? In the Mailman Topic Header, however, the full subject is always readable. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Problem replying via Hyperkitty
by Jeff 27 Jul '22

27 Jul '22

Hello Everyone, A few of my users read our mailing list through Hyperkitty. Whenever they reply through the web, their replies simply disappear. One example from today was logged as follows: [pid: 2287|app: 0|req: 116007/153551] xxx.xx.xx.xx () {72 vars in 1992 bytes} [Thu Jun 30 11:26:16 2022] POST /archives/list/listname(a)domainname.org/message/46WUOPZITVMKJN4TXR6CP3WMFUEAVJKD/reply => generated 3213 bytes in 70 msecs (HTTP/1.1 200) 6 headers in 188 bytes (3 switches on core 0) A couple of basic questions: 1) when a users replies in this manner, does their response go to the list or to the subscriber to whom they are replying? 2) what log files could I check to see what — if anything — happens to these emails? 3) Are there any settings that need to be set to make this work? Thanks much. Any help will be appreciated. Jeff

Apache Conf
by Guiseppin Thomas 26 Jul '22

Hi, Currently, I use a nginx configuration for mailman. It's work perfectly. I tried to do the same with Apache, but the statics files are not delivered (404). Basically, it's the same configuration: /server { listen 80; server_name mailing.ddd.fr; access_log /var/log/nginx/mailing.access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/mailing.error.log; location /static/ { alias /opt/mailman/static/; expires 30d; } proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; location / { proxy_pass http://localhost:8000; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; } } <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName mailing.ddd.fr ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/mailing.error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/mailing.access.log combined <Location /static/> Alias "/opt/mailman/static/" </Location> <Location /> ProxyPass http://localhost:8000/ ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:8000/ ProxyPreserveHost On </Location> </VirtualHost>/ I missed something ? Thanks.

Error while running mailman-web compilemessages

Hello, I'm in the process of installing a Mailman3 server. I get the following error messages when I run the command 'mailman-web compilemessages'. It was working fine before and noticed this recently. Can someone suggest a solution to solve this issue, please? *Execution of msgfmt failed: /opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django_extensions/locale/ar/LC_MESSAGES/django.po:25: 'msgstr' is not a valid Python format string, unlike 'msgid'.

List and Domain listing slow
by Patrik Peng 25 Jul '22

25 Jul '22

Hi there Recently we migrated 4000+ lists from Mailman 2 to 3 and noticed a drastic slowdown of response time (30+ secs) when listing lists or domains while logged in as any user. Affected are the following paths: * https://mm3.com/mailman3/lists/ * https://mm3.com/mailman3/domains/ When visiting one of the affected pages, a lot of API requests are visible in `mailman.log`: [25/Jul/2022:11:02:02 +0200] "GET /3.1/domains/domain1.com HTTP/1.1" 200 202 "-" "GNU Mailman REST client v3.3.3" [25/Jul/2022:11:02:02 +0200] "GET /3.1/domains/domain2.com HTTP/1.1" 200 188 "-" "GNU Mailman REST client v3.3.3" [25/Jul/2022:11:02:02 +0200] "GET /3.1/domains/domain3.com HTTP/1.1" 200 200 "-" "GNU Mailman REST client v3.3.3" [25/Jul/2022:11:02:02 +0200] "GET /3.1/domains/domain4.com HTTP/1.1" 200 218 "-" "GNU Mailman REST client v3.3.3" I'm suspecting an n+1 issue where a request is made for every list entry and even if the API response times are quick (15-20ms), this time accumulates.

Trouble importing a Mailman 3 Postgres database into a new Mailman 3 instance (Docker)
by skenny＠scss.tcd.ie 22 Jul '22

22 Jul '22

Our in-production Mailman 3 service is running under Docker (maxking's mailman-web, mailman-core and Postgres database containers). I want to move Mailman to a different server, where I have a clean install of Mailman 3 up and running. When I take a database dump of the in-production database, and import it on the new server, a ton of errors are produced, and the core and web containers die after 15 seconds or so. I have noticed that if I first delete the mailmandb database on the new server, then create it anew, and _then_ do the import, everything is fine. I see all my lists in the web interface on the new server, it's all good. But deleting and then creating a new blank mailmandb database just prior to importing ... it can't be the right thing to do. Below is a sample of the errors that are reported on the stdout from my docker-compose command. I'd be very grateful for any pointers as to where to go next with this.

check/update delivery status via python script
by Eggert Ehmke 19 Jul '22

19 Jul '22

Somehow I can't get the starting point in the documentation to do stuff like this. Besides, when I try to run examples from https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/release-3.0/src/mailman/ commands/docs/withlist.html[1] I run into errors like AttributeError: 'Withlist' object has no attribute 'process' Where to start? I thought I have some python experience but your API makes my head burn. -------- [1] https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/release-3.0/src/mailman/ commands/docs/withlist.html

Hacking attempts?
by Lists 17 Jul '22

17 Jul '22

Hi, We are seeing thousands of these emails every day, looks like someone is trying to hack our Mailman3 but would appreciate someone with more knowledge of MM3 to confirm. Is this a problem with our setup? i.e. the “Internal Server Error” bit, or are the hackers just sending bad data that is causing the error? also how do we stop/block this? TIA and here is a typical email: Subject: [Django] ERROR (EXTERNAL IP): Internal Server Error: /mailman3/accounts/fedora/login/ Internal Server Error: /mailman3/accounts/fedora/login/ TypeError at

Messages attached to probe messages

Hi, some time ago I started a discussion where I wrongly assumed that probe messages were sent accidentally from example.com Some digging showed now that the sender of the probe messages are correct, but the attached messages seem to be wrong.

mailman 3.x upgrade and downgrade
by skooperit＠gmail.com 12 Jul '22

12 Jul '22

Hi all, I have a few contradictory questions. 1. How to upgrade the 3.x version? 2. Is it possible to migrate (downgrade) the lists from mailman 3.x to 2.1? 3. If so, what would be the best way to do that? My mailing list server is running on a CenOS-7x with postgreSQL and the following mailman packages: django-mailman3 1.3.5 mailman 3.3.2 mailman-hyperkitty 1.1.0 mailman-web 0.0.3 mailmanclient 3.3.2 postorius 1.3.3 We have ~200 lists with more than a decade of history. thanks -- Carlos Souza

Mailman 3 stops delivering to a domain after too many bounces
by Julian Kippels 12 Jul '22

12 Jul '22

Hi, We have recently upgraded from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3. Since then I have observed many user reports that mails to mailing lists don't reach all members. My suspicion is that there are too many "dead" members on those lists. This was not a problem on Mailman 2, but has become a problem on Mailman 3. It seems to me that for example Mailman 3 sends mails to the first 5 existing member addresses from domain A, then encounters several (20 or so seems to be the threshold) "dead" member addresses from domain A that generate a bounce and then does not even attempt to reach the remaining 800 member adresses from domain A and only sends to members on domain B and domain C. Is there a way to globaly ignore bounces and send out mails to all members of a list, no matter what? Thanks, Julian

Notes about successfuly upgrade from python 3.7 to 3.9
by Guillermo Hernandez (Oldno7) 12 Jul '22

12 Jul '22

I've successfuly upgrade servers with mailman3 lists from FreeBSD 12.3 with python 3.7 to FreeBSD 13.1 with python 3.9 After doing the O.S. and all the python related apps upgraded I did the following steps: (note that my mailman3 installation is system-wide, pip drived and apache24/uwsgi served. The user that owns mailman3 is "mailman3" and all the stuff lies in "/usr/local/mailman3") -> su -> cd /usr/local/mailman3 -> pip install --upgrade django-mailman3 mailman mailman-hyperkitty mailmanclient postorius django hyperkitty uwsgi mod-wsgi -> mod_wsgi-express module-config (it returns the path for the apache24 httpd.conf adjustments. I edited it) -> su -m mailman3 -c "python3 manage.py collectstatic" -> su -m mailman3 -c "python3 manage.py migrate" -> su -m mailman3 -c "python3 manage.py compress" -> cd /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ -> cd postorius -> django-admin compilemessages -> cd ../hyperkitty -> django-admin compilemessages -> cd ../django_mailman3 -> django-admin compilemessages I had to edit again /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/mistune/scanner.py and add this two lines (this is a little bit annoying) from mistune.util import escape_html from mistune.util import escape_url And that was all. Restarted the servers and all is going smoothly All of this steps have been documented in this list by Mark & Stephen whom I'm very grateful. P.S.: As I did some upgrades ago, I didn't have to modify settings.py in the Hyperkitty area to add DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD = 'django.db.models.AutoField' But if you come from an old mailman/Hyperkitty version, you'll have to include in it. And the it's same if you are using UWSGI, you have to include in your apache config: WSGIPassAuthorization On -- ___________________________________________ Mailman's content filtering has removed the following MIME parts from this message.

Walk-thru for Ubuntu Bionic Mailman 3 Full setup
by kelly.close＠lrewater.com 09 Jul '22

09 Jul '22

I hope this is helpful to the Ubuntu folks out there. Once some critical small things were figured out, turns out it's pretty easy to get Mailman 3 running successfully under Ubuntu 18.04. The linked google doc includes my own walkthru, which includes using a cloud server image for Ubuntu 18.04 and a LAMP setup with Apache 2 and PHP, as well as Python and PostgreSQL, and the mailman3-full package that comes with that Ubuntu distribution. The walk-thru uses Postfix for mail and PostgreSQL for the back end database. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xIcSsoNFp2nHi7r4eQys00s9a0k2sHhu1V5Plan… If you use this and see needed corrections or additions, please let me know! ~Kelly

Sorry to repeat a question, but how do I permanently delete messages, again?
by William Oliver 08 Jul '22

08 Jul '22

I askled this question some months ago, but for the life of me cannot find the response (though there is one). I want to purge some specific emails from the list archives. A user posted what he thought was a personal message to the list, and is embarrased by it, so I told him I couldn't delete emails that were already downloaded onto client machines, but I can delete it so that new users won't be able to see it. But... I can't figure out how to do it. I asked this once before, some months ago, and as I remember there is a command line way of doing it, but not a GUI way. But i can't remember what it was. Thanks! billo

Problem migrating from Ubuntu packaged Mailman to Virtualenv, including Hyperkitty
by tim＠thecutts.org 07 Jul '22

07 Jul '22

Hi everyone, As we all know, mailman3 got dropped from Ubuntu 22. So I updated the operating system anyway, and decided to switch to a virtualenv setup, keeping the old Debian/Ubuntu database and log locations etc. With some lumps and bumps, this has gone OK; the web interface appears to be working, and I can use the mailman CLI to manipulate the lists. So far so good. However, there do seem to be two problems, which might be linked: 1. If I send a message to my test list, it does not get sent on to any members. I can see the lmtp delivery to mailman. But nothing comes out again. I can see the two test messages in the “shunt” directory 2. Trying to look in the archives for my mailing lists does not work. On the web, I get "An error occurred while processing your request.”, and the log file seems to show a schema error in the hyper kitty table: ERROR 2022-07-07 13:18:41,634 116894 django.request Internal Server Error: /mailman3/archives/list/fairhaven-members(a)thecutts.org/ Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/db/backends/utils.py", line 86, in _execute return self.cursor.execute(sql, params) psycopg2.errors.UndefinedColumn: column hyperkitty_mailinglist.archive_rendering_mode does not exist LINE 1: ...e_policy", "hyperkitty_mailinglist"."created_at", "hyperkitt... ^ Do I need to run a database migration manually? If so, how? I’m not very familiar with Django, it seems a bit hideously complex to me. Are these issues likely to be related, or do I have two things going on here? Regards Tim

Problem with database change sqlite -> mysql
by moritz both 07 Jul '22

07 Jul '22

Greetings, I am totally new to this list and relatively new to mailman3 and came here because I have a problem I would like to solve soon. I hope somebody has a clue: I am running a really small list site with 10 or so lists, all of them have low traffic and no more than ~70 members. The lists are running on a shared server at uberspace. I followed their guide at https://lab.uberspace.de/guide_mailman-3/ Mailman Core Version GNU Mailman 3.3.5 (Tom Sawyer) Mailman Core API Version 3.1 Mailman Core Python Version 3.8.13 (default, May 19 2022, 15:06:19) [GCC 9.3.1 20200408 (Red Hat 9.3.1-2)] Since my migration from mm2 to mm3 I see what I consider high loads and excessive i/o and memory usage. My guess is that the main problem is the database backend for mailman, posterious and hyperkitty, which is sqlite. The database is >200MB at the moment (I have not found out why it is so huge, I tried to delete the hyperkitty archives from there and no longer archive messages, but maybe I have not managed to delete all). I take any recommandation for this situation. My current idea is changing the database backend to something else, i.e. mysql. I tried to follow this guide https://www.rockandnull.com/django-dumpdata/ but the "loaddata" command fails. The stack trace is below. Unfortunatelly, I have close to no knowledge of django and don't know why the Email matching query not exists. Will postgres make things easier? Thanks in advance for any help.

mailman3 suddenly stopped working after routine package upgrade with "apt update" and "apt upgrade".
by gordon＠dickens.com 05 Jul '22

05 Jul '22

My mailman3 installation is installed in Debian using the Mailman Suite's Virtualenv (venv) instructions (not the Debian mailman3 packages) and has been working great for several months until I recently executed a routine package upgrade with "apt update" and "apt upgrade" after which the mailman3 service quit working with the following error dialog in response to "systemctl start mailman3" # systemctl start mailman3 Job for mailman3.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mailman3.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. root@slc:/opt/mailman/venv/bin# systemctl status mailman3 ● mailman3.service - GNU Mailing List Manager Loaded: loaded (/etc/mailman3/mailman3.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2022-07-05 10:31:55 EDT; 4s ago Process: 3011826 ExecStart=/opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman start (code=exited, status=2) CPU: 822ms Jul 05 10:31:54 slc.mailhub4u.com systemd[1]: Starting GNU Mailing List Manager...

The only reason that I believe that the apt package upgrade caused the problem is because everything stopped working immediately after the package upgrade commands, "apt update" and "apt upgrade" were executed.

Does anyone see any potential problems with any of the packages that were upgraded? The logfile, /var/log/syslog, has the following lines immediately after the "systemctl start mailman3" command was executed: Jul 5 11:07:41 slc mailman[3030034]: Usage: mailman start [OPTIONS] Jul 5 11:07:41 slc mailman[3030034]: Try 'mailman start -h' for help.

As an FYI, I have attempted to start the service using --force, however, it made no difference. BTW, I don't know if this is significant or not but the following error message (or similar message) is displayed often in the logs: slc mariadbd[859]: 2022-07-05 11:07:41 1744540 [Warning] Aborted connection 1744540 to db: 'mailman3' user: 'mailman' host: 'localhost' (Got an error reading communication packets) In any event, does anyone see any other potential causes for why the mailman3 service will not run? Thanks very much! Gordon

Monthly mailman-web job using a lot of memory
by Andy Smith 04 Jul '22

04 Jul '22

Hi, Is it normal for the monthly job: @monthly www-data [ -f /usr/bin/django-admin ] && flock -n /var/run/mailman3-web/cron.monthly /usr/share/mailman3-web/manage.py runjobs monthly to use nearly 3½GiB of memory? PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 770203 www-data 20 0 4516756 3.4g 1.6g R 99.7 43.5 12:08.00 python3 /usr/share/mailman3-web/manage.py runjo+ I assume it's updating the full text indexes or something. There are around 250k messages in our archives. In the job list I see: appname - jobname - when - help -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hyperkitty - update_and_clean_index - monthly - Update the full-text index and clean old entries so I'm guessing it's that, but there is also: hyperkitty - update_index - hourly - Update the full-text index which hasn't been noitceably a problem so I wonder why the "and clean old entries" bit is so much more heavyweight, what exactly it dopes and if there's any way to make it lighter on resources? Thanks, Andy

Emails about moderation are sent to list owners, want them sent to moderators instead
by Elias Rudberg 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

Hello, This is about GNU Mailman 3.3.3 (Tom Sawyer). For each list there are both "owners" and "moderators". As I understand it, the idea is that owners have the power to change configuration for the list, while moderators have more limited power, they can only moderate but not change configuration. When an email is sent from a non-member to a list that requires moderation in such a case, an email with subject like "[listname] post from [sender] requires approval" is sent to the list owners. I would like those emails to be sent to moderators instead. The reason why I want it to work that way is that list owners sometimes want to delegate the work of moderating to the moderators. List owners then want to keep the power to change list configuration, but they do not want to be bothered by individual moderation emails. Is there a way to configure mailman3 to make it send moderation emails to moderators instead of owners? Or, have I misunderstood the purpose of "owners" and "moderators"? If so, I would be grateful if someone could explain. / Elias

uwsgi memory usage
by peter＠chubb.wattle.id.au 29 Jun '22

29 Jun '22

Hi Folks, I think there's a memory leak somewhere in the system. Over time, on a relatively small set of lists, I see the uwsgi process grow and grow until the system OOMs. I'm using the Debian packaged mailman3 suite, on the Unstable distribution. This is version 3.3.3. I've reported the bug to the Debian maintainers (who are overloaded...), but was wondering if others had seen this issue. Is it a Debian issue, a local config issue, or a general problem? Peter C

Hyperkitty failure "Forbidden" - Please check IP-Address assigned to MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_FROM in the settings file
by christopher.claus＠tgcamberg1848.de 29 Jun '22

29 Jun '22

Hi together, i noticed an error during upgrade, which i did not noticed before, but i see no relation to the upgrade itself. Nevertheless the message is very clear, i am not able to solve this issue. My problem ist, that hyperkitty is not working. In mailman.log, you can see this message: Jun 29 13:38:25 2022 (28) ACCEPT: <006501d88bac$b21201f0$163605d0$@mydomain> Jun 29 13:38:28 2022 (32) HyperKitty failure on https://mydomain/hyperkitty/api/mailman/urls: <html><title>Forbidden</title><body> <h1>Access is forbidden</h1><p>Please check the IP addresses assigned to MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_FROM in the settings file. </p></body></html> (403) I´m using setting_local.py in web-part with following code: # Try to get the address of Mailman Core automatically. MAILMAN_HOST_IP = gethostbyname('mailman-core') MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_FROM = (os.environ.get('MAILMAN_HOST_IP', gethostbyname(os.environ.get('MAILMAN_HOSTNAME', 'mailman-core'))),) Debugging inside my docker-container, this python-code works fine (hostname etc. are correct): bash-5.0# python3 test.py MAILMAN_HOST_IP 172.18.0.4 MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_FROM ('172.18.0.4',) bash-5.0# I also tried to set MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_FROM directly to the IP not using the list, but there was no change. I think, the problem is located at another place and the error-message took me to the wrong place. Does anybody has an idea where to look at? Best regards, chrclaus

by denis.bitouze＠univ-littoral.fr 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

Hi, at a page of the form .../postorius/lists/mylist/held_messages, it is possible to: - Accept - Reject - Ignore messages to be moderated. I didn't find any documentation about the difference between (the purpose of) “Reject” and “Ignore”. Since the list I'm currently moderating suffers from a lot of spammers, I wonder if there is a way to at the same time: - remove the spam from the moderation list (“Reject”? “Ignore”?), - add the emails from the removed spams to the list of banished emails (since copying-pasting each mail to be banished is a pain). Thanks in advance!

Excluding archives from a mailman3web database backup
by Andy Smith 24 Jun '22

24 Jun '22

Hi, In doing regular database dumps for backup purposes I note that by far the largest quantity of data is HyperKitty's archives. We already keep external archives using the prototype archiver (and some rotation of Maildirs), because we see value in having a simple archive outside of HyperKitty. So, I'd rather not be backing up this data twice. In event of disaster I'd like to be able to do a maildir2mbox on what prototype has written and re-import the resulting mbox file. Is that a realistic proposal? i.e. does a typical maildir2mbox conversion script generate something that "manage.py hyperkitty_import" would be happy with when run on prototype's maildir? If so, is it safe to just exclude every table starting with "hyperkitty_" from the database backup of mailman3web? Dumping only the schema for these, I mean, so that an import would restore empty tables. Thanks, Andy

Docker images with Hyper kitty 1.1.0
by bob B 23 Jun '22

23 Jun '22

Maxking, it looks like the docker images with tags "latest" and more importantly "0.4.2" which I believe is supposed to be the latest version, have mailman-hyperkitty 1.1.0 installed, which does not work with the installed Hyperkitty version, so archiving is broken? is this correct? Any eta on when this will be corrected? it looks like "rolling" has mailman-hyperkitty 1.2.1 but the notes say to consider rolling as beta software. Thanks

Removing the option to delete a list on the Postorious interface
by Wong, Wesley 14 Jun '22

14 Jun '22

Hi, I have a question on the Postorious web interface in Mailman 3. I have found that a list owner can delete a list through the Postorious interface if they have the role of owner to the list. I wanted to have it either disabled or removed but I am not sure where to look to make changes to it. I would rather remove it from the interface totally so it would be done from the command line. Any help would be greatly appreciated. wesley Wesley Wong Senior Systems Engineer Anderson Computing & Information Services | ACIS 310-206-2571 [ucla-logo---new_smaller] ___________________________________________ Mailman's content filtering has removed the following MIME parts from this message.

Mailman3 Setup
by George R. Kasica 11 Jun '22

11 Jun '22

Hello: I'm in the process of setting up Mailman3 on Ubuntu 20.04. I have the following Environment, and please ask if I left something needed out: Postfix Apache2 MySQL Mailman3 (all 3 bits mailman3, mailman3-web, python-mailman-hyperkitty) The install SEEMS to have worked, but I'm looking for a guide for setup now. I used to run 2.1 about 18 months ago, but the server failed, and I never reinstalled it. I figured now, with a newish Ubuntu 20.04LTS Server, I'd go the mailman3 route...I've seen MANY posts of issues getting MM3 working with 20.04. Should I go back to 2.1, or what is the best way to get mailman-3 configured? Thank you, George Kasica

Turned on archiving and it is not working
by bob B 09 Jun '22

09 Jun '22

I normally have archives not enabled on all my lists and I do not even have hyperkitty enabled for them. but I need to turn on archiving for one list and it is not working. I made sure hyper kitty is enabled for the list, and I have private archives enabled. I even restarted my environment (more on that in a moment) and still the list works but nothing gets archived. my mail log shows Jun 09 18:49:10 2022 (28) Exception in the HyperKitty archiver: <html><title>Auth required</title><body> <h1>Authorization Required</h1><p>The archiver key is now File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mailman_hyperkitty/__init__.py", line 154, in _archive_message <h1>Authorization Required</h1><p>The archiver key is now <h1>Authorization Required</h1><p>The archiver key is now I am running in docker: my HYPERKITTY_API_KEY is the same in my docker yaml file for mailman-core & mailman-web (I am using an external database) mailman info GNU Mailman 3.3.5 (Tom Sawyer) Python 3.8.10 (default, May 6 2021, 06:30:44) [GCC 9.3.0] Hyperkitty web interface is working and I can log in so it is up HyperKitty version 1.3.5. This used to work when I initially installed, so not sure why it is broken now. Any thoughts on what to do next?

Hello, I am using mailman3 as list owner on python.org. The web-frontend shows me everything in "German" which is my native language (in OS, Browser, GeoIP). But I want it in English. in my "Global Mailman-Settings" the "Preferred Language ( "Bevorzugte Sprache" ) is set to "English (USA)". But it seems to me that this doesn't affect the WebFront end. How can set the WebFront end to English? Kind Christian

Lost in default style creation
by kenneth.karlsson＠eco.cept.org 02 Jun '22

02 Jun '22

Hi all I have installed a brandnew server - ubuntu 21.10, mailman3 version 3.3.3 (Tom Sawyer) I want to set some default settings to all new lists, as we are creating them through API from another system, i do this (snipped straight from the shell) : >>> from mailman.interfaces.styles import IStyleManager >>> manager = getUtility(IStyleManager) >>> from zope.interface import implementer >>> from mailman.interfaces.styles import IStyle >>> @implementer(IStyle) ... class EcoStyle: ... name = 'ECOstyle' ... description = 'ECO mailing list style.' ... def apply(self, ml): ... ml.dmarc_mitigate_action = 'munge_from' ... ml.dmarc_mitigate_unconditionally = 'True' ... ml.send_welcome_message = 'True' ... ml.subject_prefix = '' ... ml.subscription_policy = 'moderate' ... ml.max_message_size = '0' ... >>> manager.register(EcoStyle()) >>> commit() No error all seem good, i then do this to confirm the style is there: >>> from zope.component import getUtility >>> from mailman.interfaces.styles import IStyleManager >>> manager = getUtility(IStyleManager) >>> >>> for style in manager.styles: ... print(style.name) ... ECOstyle legacy-announce legacy-default private-default It shows me its there, then i proceed to quit() and go back in to the shell, and do this: >>> quit() ecoadmin@list01:/etc/mailman3$ sudo mailman shell Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell >>> from zope.component import getUtility >>> from mailman.interfaces.styles import IStyleManager >>> manager = getUtility(IStyleManager) >>> >>> for style in manager.styles: ... print(style.name) ... legacy-announce legacy-default private-default >>> and now my newly created style is gone again ? What am i missing here ? Kind regards Kenneth Karlsson

use_https not being honored?
by sean.p.kiernan＠nasa.gov 01 Jun '22

01 Jun '22

Using Mailman core 3.3.5, and Mailman API 3.1, I have use_https: yes set in my mailman.cfg so that I can use https for calls to the API, however even in mailman.log, it still says it is using http: [2022-06-01 09:35:54 -0500] [959009] [INFO] Starting gunicorn 20.1.0 [2022-06-01 09:35:54 -0500] [959009] [INFO] Listening at: http://hostname:8001 (959009) GET and POST requests work fine if I use http, but fail when trying to use https. I have a certificate being used by our Mailman installation, so is there some additional config not mentioned in the docs to enable use of the API over https? I've only recently started using Mailman so if there are additional logs or system information I need to help with this?

Every day mailman (MM 3.3.3 (Tom Sawyer)) sends me an email with a held unsubcription request from X user. This user is not subcribed to that list anymore but every day an email is sending to the list owner. On the web interface there's nothing pending for approval or similar. Is there anyway to avoid receiving this anoyning email every day? Thanks in advance. David

Trouble in Debian11 after import mailman2 archive
by qro＠xs4all.nl 25 May '22

25 May '22

Hi I am struggling with Mainman3 to get it running on Debian11 On a clean VPS I have up and running Apache, mysql and postfix Also the installation mailman3 went fine for the mailman3-full package Then I setup mailman3-web via dpkg-reconfigure mailman3-web, modify in mailman-hyperkitty.cfg MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_KEY. In mailman.config add the [archiver.hyperkitty] things At this point I made a clone for the VPS. On clone 1 I import a mailman2 list: mailman create test(a)xxx.nl mailman import21 test@xxx /peter/mailman/lists/test/config.pck /usr/share/mailman3-web/manage.py hyperkitty_import -l test(a)xxx.nl /peter/mailman/archives/private/test.mbox/test.mbox /usr/share/mailman3-web/manage.py update_index So far so good. I can access the list and its config via the web page,see 1 subscriber (me :-) and can walk though the archive. But when I send an email to the list, its not resend or archived A snip from log files: /var/log/mail.log May 22 20:03:36 server postfix/smtpd[1614]: connect from ewsoutbound.kpnmail.nl[195.121.94.170] May 22 20:03:36 server postfix/smtpd[1614]: 8ECFF80BF9: client=ewsoutbound.kpnmail.nl[195.121.94.170] May 22 20:03:36 server postfix/cleanup[1616]: 8ECFF80BF9: message-id=<d89bf2f7-1519-9e0a-eb41-9211ff6f6a24(a)xs4all.nl> May 22 20:03:36 server postfix/qmgr[1510]: 8ECFF80BF9: from=<peter(a)xxxl.nl>, size=23317, nrcpt=1 (queue active) May 22 20:03:36 server postfix/smtpd[1614]: disconnect from ewsoutbound.kpnmail.nl[195.121.94.170] ehlo=2 starttls=1 mail=1 rcpt=1 data=1 quit=1 commands=7 May 22 20:03:36 server postfix/lmtp[1630]: 8ECFF80BF9: to=<test(a)xxx.net>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:8024, delay=0.23, delays=0.15/0.01/0/0.07, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Ok) May 22 20:03:36 server postfix/qmgr[1510]: 8ECFF80BF9: removed /var/log/mailman3/smtp.log May 22 20:03:36 2022 (1359) Available AUTH mechanisms: LOGIN(builtin) PLAIN(builtin) May 22 20:03:36 2022 (1359) Peer: ('127.0.0.1', 46148) May 22 20:03:36 2022 (1359) ('127.0.0.1', 46148) handling connection May 22 20:03:36 2022 (1359) ('127.0.0.1', 46148) Data: b'LHLO server.xxx.net' May 22 20:03:36 2022 (1359) ('127.0.0.1', 46148) Data: b'MAIL FROM:<peter(a)xxx.nl>' May 22 20:03:36 2022 (1359) ('127.0.0.1', 46148) sender: peter(a)xxx.nl May 22 20:03:36 2022 (1359) ('127.0.0.1', 46148) Data: b'RCPT TO:<test(a)xxx.net>' May 22 20:03:36 2022 (1359) ('127.0.0.1', 46148) recip: test(a)xxx.net May 22 20:03:36 2022 (1359) ('127.0.0.1', 46148) Data: b'DATA' May 22 20:03:36 2022 (1359) ('127.0.0.1', 46148) Data: b'QUIT' May 22 20:03:36 2022 (1359) ('127.0.0.1', 46148) connection lost May 22 20:03:36 2022 (1359) Connection lost during _handle_client() Second attempt.

How to authorise members visibility?

Hello, My setup: - Debian 11 - Mailman3-full v 3.3.3-1 My Question: How to configure the visibility of a list of subscribers to a list? I created a list and set "subscriber visibility" to subscribers only. When I log in as such and try to view the list information, I can't see anywhere how to display that list.

Install 'readme_renderer[md]' to enable Markdown rendering. warnings.warn(_EXTRA_WARNING) - - - I installed cmarkgfm 0.8.0 in my venv, but this did not help. Besides patching the source, what is the recommended solution for this? Thanks, Axel --- PGP-Key: CDE74120 ☀ computing @ chaos claudius

Importing users and mas settings "Moderation Action"
by bob B 20 May '22

20 May '22

I imported email lists and users to version 3 from version 2. One of my lists all the users are set to 'Hold for moderation" for "Moderation Action". I assume this is because they were set to moderation on mailman 2? But if I mass subscribe users via the Gui in mailman 3 then their default "Moderation Action" is set to "none" so I assume it follows list default, is that a correct assumption? I believe there is no way to import mass users and set their "Moderation Action" at the same time is this correct? Wasn't that possible in mailman 2? is there a way to change all their user's "Moderation Action" for a list in bulk? So it looks like for any users I mass subscribe, "Moderation Action" will be set to "none" and if I want to change that I have to do it manually for each user?

by Stefan Bauer 17 May '22

17 May '22

Dear mailman-experts, we're running Mailman Core Version 3.3.5 Mailman Core API Version 3.1 Mailman Core Python Version 3.10.4 on Ubuntu 22 with a python venv. Until now, I modified several files manually to adjust mailmans behavior and have to check several boxes when new lists are created. Is this still the only way to go or are there ways i can make all this more update "save" and kind of default settings? a, I removed content of /opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/mailman/templates/de/list:member:generic:footer.txt b, I set ... in /opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/mailman/styles/base.py mlist.default_member_action = Action.discard mlist.default_nonmember_action = Action.discard mlist.subscription_policy = SubscriptionPolicy.moderate mlist.send_welcome_message = False mlist.archive_policy = ArchivePolicy.never c, I always have to check the follwing manually in mailman web-interface on new lists: Settings-->List Idendity -> remove Subject Prefix Settings-->Message Acceptance -> accept immediately DMARC-Mitigation -> replace from ... unconditionally YES Thank you.

Dear Users, we are very happy mailman3-users but suffer from very old packages in Ubuntu 18LTS. Unfortunately due to some python-restrictions¹, mailman3 is broken in Ubuntu20LTS and gone² in Ubuntu 22LTS, so we do not have any working upgrade-path :/ What do you recommend? Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance. Stefan ¹ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mailman3/+bug/1877701 ² https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=mailman3-full

Can login at /admin, but cannot login at the account/login page.
by pabsta＠gmail.com 11 May '22

11 May '22

Hi All, thanks for your contibution to opensource softwares. I have done the installation walkthrough on the wiki page (thanks to Brian Carpenter) and I am almost there. I can run the three services and they provide the relevant web interfaces (admin, postorius, hyperkitty). In comparison to the walkthrough, I did two changes; First, I used different port numbers , as it would otherwise conflict with other services on the server. Second, I disabled the social accounts authentification mechanisms. I am still running on sqllite, as I am still testing things (one task at a time). Using my "superuser" credentials, I can log to the admin section in a fraction of a second. The server response time is less than one second. Once logged in, I can navigate through all the site as an authenticated user, including in the postorius pages related to list management. The services work normally. However, if logout and attempt to login from the postorius website, I get a « 502 bad gateway » error after roughly 30 seconds. The logs in Systemctl for gunicorn register a "DIGEST-MD5 common mech free" error message and the nginx error logs just show a connection drop: 2021/08/12 18:11:09 [error] 26026#26026: *31 upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream, client: [ip redacted], server: [domain redacted], request: "POST /accounts/login/ HTTP/2.0", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:8006/accounts/login/", host: "[domain redacted]", referrer: "https://[domain redacted]/accounts/login/?next=/mailman3/lists/" Two additional clues may help understanding what is going on: 1- If I attempt to login with improper credentials, the services respond normally, and I get the expected red box with "invalid credentials" message on the postorius page. It is only when proper credentials are given that the connection fails. 2- If I attempt to register a new email adress, the services also fail to respond (although with no DIGEST-MD5 message registered). It thus seems to be a post "POST" problem, but what puzzles me is that it is not an issue for the admin page. Below the relevant sections of my settings.py page. The skipped ([...]) sections are as in the walkthrough files. In particular, the AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS, the EMAIL_BACKEND are as is and the "USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST" is still commented. ##Settings.py [...] # SECURITY WARNING: keep the secret key used in production secret!

How can I remove anything added by Mailman 3 to the forwarded email
by gscaglia＠ksdata.it 09 May '22

09 May '22

I need to use Mailman 3 exclusively for forwarding emails to my customers divided by type. The emails must arrive exactly as they are, without any additions, and the lists are managed only by me: the customer ignores that he is subscribed to a list and receives the message as if it were one to one. How can I remove anything added by Mailman 3 to the forwarded message, therefore also the links for managing my membership (unsubscribe and modify)? Thanks a lot, Luca

Hello, We have a fully installed mailman3 on our Debian 11 (mailman3-full 3.3.3-1).

Spam in Hyperkitty archive
by Eggert Ehmke 04 May '22

04 May '22

I have my mail server set up with spamassassin/amavis that seems to work reasonable. One particular mailing list is open for non-members, so spam is to be expected. However, even spam to this mailing list that is filtered and moved to the quarantine folder, shows up in the archive! How can I set up the spam filter so that does not happen?

add custom styles to postorius list creation menu
by Michael Hazan 03 May '22

03 May '22

Hello, When creating a list via postorius, i can see 3 style appear (announce, discussion, private). Is it possible to either create a new style and add it to that list or modify one of those style ? I’m using the virtual env setup and i have been trying to manipulate via the mailman-web shell but it doesn’t work when adding a new style. I need to delegate list creation to admins and I don’t want them to have to redo every list settings for every list they create when they are the same style. Also, coming from mailman2, you could directly set the members post moderation action when subscribing, now you can only do it via the user menu, is there a way to automate this in mm3 ? Thanks for the help. Michael

Templates do not work

I created some templates in Postorius to get personalized notifications when there are moderator requests. The notifications I get seem to be the standard texts. When I look into mailman/ mm/var/templates the directory is empty. Nevertheless, the templates I create in Postorius seem to be stored (where?), they just do not work.

Localization of auto-responses, question marks in welcome message
by Claus-Justus Heine 25 Apr '22

25 Apr '22

Hi, I know there are already some posts on this subject. From reading the following seems to be the state of the affair: * the list's language settings determines which localized template to use * the list-_servers_ default setting determines which language to use for the subject (so the subject's language is a "global" server configuration setting). Still, in my Ubuntu Impish Mailman 3.3.3 installation the welcome message is sent with charset us-ascii and contains question marks for any "special" -- i.e. non-ascii -- character. Can this be changed s.t. the welcome message is correctly displayed?

set a new default for max_message_size
by Paul Paulchen 24 Apr '22

24 Apr '22

Hi MM Community, I guess Mark can answer this question in a split second. We want another default than 40kb for the max_message_size. I know you can change it with the mailman shell or with postorius. But we want to skip this part an set the default to 4000kb for instance. I read about the max_message_size in this thread from 2020 https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message… According to the answer of Mark you can change the "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/styles/base.py" - mlist.max_message_size. Now time went by, is there a possibility to use the mailman.cfg to set a new default? Cheers and thanks in advance!

How to delete large numbers of held messages
by lists＠g1fef.co.uk 22 Apr '22

22 Apr '22

We had a mail loop on one of our lists and ended up with over 51k messages in pending (held due to post not form a list member) Trying to delete them from the web UI will take forever, as the largest pagination you can view is 200 at a time.

Apple Mail encoding again
by David Newman 22 Apr '22

22 Apr '22

Starting a new thread because I don't know how to reply to this one from November 2021: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message… A subscriber's post to a list bounced with a 501 bad encoding error. The subscriber uses Apple Mail on MacOS and PGP-signed his message. The earlier post above suggests the problem could be a bug in either Apple Mail encoding or python's smtp module. To rule out the smtp module, I sent a PGP-signed message using a different MUA (Thunderbird, in my case). Mailman3 accepted this post without complaint, and I reported back to list users that this appears to be an Apple Mail encoding issue. Normally, that'd be the end of it. But this is a list for a bunch of Internet graybeards, including one of the authors of the SMTP protocols and the subscriber is a former IETF chair. He's grumbling that if this really were an Apple Mail issue, wouldn't it be far more widespread? I don't think it would be, because (a) Mailman2 is still far more pervasive than Mailman3 and (b) the combination of PGP signing and Apple Mail on MacOS and Mailman3 is still pretty unusual. Has anyone else hit this encoding issue, other than the post above? And did Mailman2 silently accept this because it was less strict about checking for bad encoding? Thanks. dn

About mailing list configuration problem
by liutianhua68＠163.com 20 Apr '22

20 Apr '22

Hello: I installed mailman3 through docker, and I created a mailing list for testing, which can subscribe, unsubscribe, receive emails, and send emails normally. Now there are two problems that have not been resolved. I would like to ask: 1. When a user subscribes, how to configure it like "lists.mailman3.org" to send a link to confirm the subscription instead of just replying to the confirmation email. 2. I used the mailling list I created to test the sending and receiving of emails, but I didn't see any historical messages in "Archives",Where is the configuration incorrect? And the url of my mailing list is "https://list.example.org/hyperkitty/list/" instead of "https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/", is this a problem? Also ask about the configuration, where to find the relevant documentation. thank you very much. liutianhua68(a)163.com

Prometheus mailman_exporter
by Ruth Ivimey-Cook 19 Apr '22

19 Apr '22

Folks, I have recently been playing with Prometheus metrics, and having now coded a mailman3 Prometheus exporter in python I thought I'd mention here that it exists. It's not fancy and there is more to do. It works using the rest api. Source available at https://github.com/rivimey/mailman3_exporter Metrics exposed: 'mailman_up' (does the API /system/versions return http 200) and 'mailman_queues' (queue lengths for each queue, plus 'status' for the http status code of that query) Suggestions for other metrics would be interesting if accompanied with info on how to extract it. I'm currently contemplating including the number of 'to be moderated' messages. It would be possible to include the number of lists or domains but not sure it's useful enough to be worth the cost of fetching it. It is passed the api auth data separately. It would be better to read it from mm config: is there existing code I can call?

MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_KEY - 401 error
by Torsten R. 14 Apr '22

14 Apr '22

Hi together, I just updated one of my servers to Debian 11 and that also introduced mailman3 to the system as I was running mailman 2.1 for years before on that server. It took me a while to configure everything but I am convinced that I now have everything done properly. I am able to access the web interface of mailman3 (postorius) and also the archive (hyperkitty). I configured exim to deal with messages send to the lists. But when I try to send a message (as a member of a list) to a list I always get a 401 in mailman.log and the message that I should check if I provided MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_KEY and if it is correct. So far, I can say that the key is the same in mailman-web.py (with single quotes) and mailman-hyperkitty.cfg (without quotes). in mailman-web.py I have: MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_KEY = 'somesecretkeywithlotsofcharacters' and in mailman-hyperkitty I have this: api_key: somesecretkeywithlotsofcharacters I have some messages in $var_dir/archives/hyperkitty/spool but mailman qfile <messagefile> doesn't show anything that would catch my eye. So, maybe I need another pair of eyes that could take a look at my configs or someone that is turning me in the right direction and might give some hints where to look and what to check. Thanks, Torsten

Lessons learned and a couple little gotcha for newbies
by William Oliver 13 Apr '22

13 Apr '22

I just finished, with great help from Mark Sapiro on the list, a new installation of mailman3. I used the instructions at https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/insta… and https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html There were a couple of gotchas that I didn't see well documented. 1) I got the error django.template.library.InvalidTemplateLibrary: Invalid template library specified. ImportError raised when trying to load 'hyperkitty.templatetags.decorate': cannot import name 'escape_html' from 'mistune.scanner' (/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.9/site- packages/mistune/scanner.py) when I ran 'mailman-web migrate' The fix was trivial: I just added the lines: from mistune.util import escape_html from mistune.util import escape_url to /opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/mistune/scanner.py It's not hard to search for those definitions, but if someone doesn't know a smattering of python, it might not be obvious. 2) Similarly, migrate (using postgres) also gave the error: File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.9/site- packages/django/db/backends/postgresql/utils.py", line 6, in utc_tzinfo_factory raise AssertionError("database connection isn't set to UTC") I was able to find a discusson of this one at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68024060/assertionerror-database-connec… which had me downgrade to an older version of psycopg2-binary: pip install psycopg2-binary==2.8.6 There might be a different fix, but this worked. 3) When I ran the test "uwsgi --ini /etc/mailman3/uwsgi.ini" I got the error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'settings' This was also trivially fixed by adding the path: export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/etc/mailman3 in /opt/mailman/.bashrc 4) Sometimes when I rebooted the machine, when I ran 'systemctl start mailman3' I'd get the error that mailman wouldn't start because the lock was stll there. I never could figure out where the lock was, so I worked around it by replacing ExecStart=/opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman start with ExecStart=/opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman start --force in /etc/systemd/system/mailman3.service I'm sure there's something bad about doing that, but it works for me, so far. 5) I had a problem with mail to outside people not being delivered while mail to the local host was delivered. It turned out that this was because in my mailman.cfg I had "smtp_host:my.listserver.tld when it should have been localhost. The error was "relay access denied." To fix this, I had to add my.listserver.tld to "mynetworks" in /etc/postfix/main.cf, ie change: mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 10.0.0.0/24 to mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 10.0.0.0/24 111.222.333.444 <--- my ip address However, Mark Sapiro (a God) told me this was because I had changed a line in the [mta] section of mailman.cfg. I had changed smtp_host: localhost to smtp_host: mydomain.tld Here's the thing. The reason I did this was because the instructions at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-core.html give this as their model: [mta] incoming: mailman.mta.postfix.LMTP outgoing: mailman.mta.deliver.deliver lmtp_host: mail.example.com lmtp_port: 8024 smtp_host: mail.example.com <---- not localhost smtp_port: 25 The instructions are good, but there are a few places where one size does not fit all, I guess. 6) A second error in delivery to outside addresses resulted in an "Access denied" error. A search on the internet revealed that this had to do with (for me) smtpd_recipient_restrictions in postfix. See, for instance: https://know.mailsbestfriend.com/postfix_error_relay_access_denied_noqueue_… Changing this fixed things. I'm not sure, but I think this shows up mostly with installations that include dovecot. 7) If you are using virtual domains in postfix, you need to use the "unusual postfix configuration" in https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/mta.h… virtual_alias_maps = hash:/path-to-mailman/var/data/postfix_vmap 8) You need to manually set the local virtual host for mailman3. Somehow, I got the impression from the installation instructions that this was done automagically to the default x.mydomain.tld if your domain is mydomain.tld. It doesn't. 9) Follow the instructions verbatim, and follow them in the order provided. I installed postfix and nginx out of order, and it did OK, but once you get into the python virtual environment, it is easy to miss something if you don't do it in order. 10) Jot down lots of notes. This is one of the more complicated installations I've done, mostly because it involved configuring a zillion packages to talk to each other: Postfix, nginx, postorius, hyperkitty, django, and others (I'd never heard of "whoosh" or "sass" for instance). All of these can be unforgiving with configuration errors. The default installation instructions assumed a number of packages I'd never used. I'm an apache/dovecot/mysql kind of person, and I had to switch to nginx/postgres to use the instructions as the written defaults. I'm sure I could have used apache and mysql, but it would mean trying to figure out what didn't work without following the installations verbatim. I'd never even heard of postorius, hyperkitty, or django. So, it was easy to get confused a bit. Taking notes of changes I made was important in being able to back out of disastrous choices. Plus, once I'd installed it on one machine, I sat down and installed it on another machine, and it was very useful to have written down how I fixed an issue when it came up again -- and I didn't remember exactly what I had done. 11) Make multiple sequential backups of configuration files. I went down a couple of paths I shouldn't have gone down. For instance, with the vmap issue, I got it in my head that it was a postfix configuration issue, not a mailman issue. So I kept changing things in postfix. Once I was told that it was in *mailman* I had to set the virtual host, I needed to back out of about 8 tweaks I'd made to main.cf in /etc/postfix. If I hadn't been making main.cf.backup.01, main.cf.backup.02, etc. I would have had to spend another few hours trying to remember what inappropriate changes I had made. This is particularly true for me because I am not a great typist, and when I try to retype something to back out, there's a reasonable chance I'll mistype something and it still won't work. With these backups, I don't have both manually back out of things *and* proof my typing again and again. It's a lot easier to delete backups once things are working than to try to remember what you did late at night after a couple of bourbons. 12) Choose one set of installation instructions and follow it. Don't try to mix instructions from different tutorials unless you really know what you are doing. I didn't. For instance, there's a different set of mailman3 installation instructions at: https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Howto_Install_Mailman3_On_Debian10 It does things a little differently. It's useful to look at that when you are debugging why something's not working, but you can get into some trouble trying to do both installations at the same time -- which I found myself doing when something wasn't working. It didn't help. billo

template head/footer questions.
by bob B 11 Apr '22

11 Apr '22

I migrated from mailman 2 to mailman3 and had head/footer questions. In the mailman 3 GUI see the templates section, so where do those files get edited/stored? I added a footer to a list via the GUI, but I do not see it in: /var/templates/lists/[listNAME]/en I see some directories corresponding to list names in /var/templates/lists/ But I do not have a directory for all my lists and for the footer one I just added. Bottom line, I assume I should not edit or create any files in /var/templates/lists/ and just use the GUI? is this directory leftover from migrating from mailman 2 to 3? I have a list admin who has made some head and footer files and wants me to put them in /var/templates/lists/[listNAME]/en/.... but I think that may not be the best option.

out queue backlog and delivery rate
by dancab＠caltech.edu 11 Apr '22

11 Apr '22

We experienced an issue where our upstream mail protection gateway had an issue for a few hours. As a result out Mailman system was inundated with hundreds of messages within half an hour. Mail delivery is continuing at a snails pace and it is now 4 hours behind. I noticed that the system isn't overloaded either via CPU or Memory. It's just slowly "working on it". Are there rate limits that can be tuned for Mailman queues such as the "out" queue? Could this be IO related somehow? I'd expect there to be a CPU spike in that case. Please advise. Thanks in advance. ---- Dan Caballero Systems Administrator Academic Computing Solutions IMSS - Caltech https://imss.caltech.edu Is there anyway to

Looking for equivalent functions from mailman2
by Julian Kippels 06 Apr '22

Hi, I am currently in the process of converting all lists from our mailman2 instance to mailman3 lists. In the process I found that some of the mm2-commands that I have come to rely on are no longer available for mm3. For example, how could I get an equivalent output to what "list_owners -w" would have given me on mm2? The same goes for the old "list_members"-command. Thanks in advance Julian Kippels

Active archivers and archiving and thread question.
by bob B 31 Mar '22

31 Mar '22

Digging into the mailman3 world, and want to check my logic... We normally don't use archives, so I have "archive policy" set to "Do not archive this list" for our lists. However, the "archives" button is still there on the list info page, and if users go into it, they don't see anything, But they can click "start a new thread" which sends a message to the list, but since archiving is turned off, that message does not show up there. Am I understanding that correctly? if I have "Active archivers" disabled, that hides that area from the users, correct? Any reason why these are separated? why have an active archiver, if archiving is turned off -OR- archives are turned on, but no active archiver?

Problem with redirection when entering alias without a / at the end
by Jens Günther 31 Mar '22

31 Mar '22

Hey there, I'm using Apache2 as the webserver, configured https://mailman.xyz.de as Web host. When I want to get to Mailman Starting Page now I need to Enter the following URL: https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman3/ to be directly redirected as expected to https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman3/postorius/lists/ -> works. Problem: When leave out the slash at the end and I ONLY enter the following URL: https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman3 -> then I'm wrongly redirected to a page, taht does not exist: https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman/postorius/lists/ -> 404 Where can I change this misbehaviour? In Apache-conf everything seems as it'S in the docs, for the vHost I do not have any other custom settings. Thank you in advance. By the way: Is there an easy way to redirect directly from https://mailman.xyz.de to https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman3/postorius/lists/ -> what would be a possibility for that?

Mails are stuck in Mailman Pipeline Queue
by Shashikanth Komandoor 30 Mar '22

30 Mar '22

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 with PostgreSQL 11.7 version with default values. I am almost running 2000 lists with 64 GB RAM and 8 Cores on a single VM and on which all the mailman 3 components are running. I have been running this setup in production for the past 2 years and 6 months. I have been seeing a special scenario suddenly: most of the mails that are sent to this server are going to the pipeline queue and not getting released from there. No configuration changes are done and I'm not sure why the mails are getting stuck there. I have recreated the list but no luck. Could not identify the root cause. Please help in this regard. -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936

changing default preferred language of list
by Paul Paulchen 29 Mar '22

29 Mar '22

Hi MM community, need a little advise. We're running mailman in a Docker Container (maxking) Mailman Core Version GNU Mailman 3.3.5 (Tom Sawyer) Mailman Core API Version 3.1 Mailman Core Python Version 3.8.10 (default, May 6 2021, 06:30:44) [GCC 9.3.0] As far as I understood, it should be pretty easy. My wish: every new list we create has a default value for the preferred language: de (instead of us) Like described here: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message… We put the values in: [mailman] default_language: de "/etc/mailman.cfg" and "/opt/mailman/mailman-extra.cfg" Nothing changes. When I create a new list via Postorius, is see the preferred language is US. Am I missing something? Is the default always US? And I have to change it manually? Cheers in advance! Paul

Docker-Setup: example.com in test mails
by Bjoern Franke 29 Mar '22

29 Mar '22

Hi, we are running a docker setup with mailman-web and mailman-core. To our confusion, test mails testing for bounces are sent from example.com From: Mailman <mailman(a)example.com> To: Mailman Bounces <mailman-bounces(a)example.com> instead of the list domain and are therefore often considered as spam. The list domain should be lists.ffnw.de. Did I miss some setting? Best Regards Bjoern

users leaking across virtual hosts
by Stanisław Findeisen 25 Mar '22

25 Mar '22

Hi We are hosting several virtual hosts (mail host : web host is a 1:1 mapping with identical names), works fine, but it looks user accounts are somehow global, i.e. registering a new user in a new virtual host doesn't work if the user name or e-mail address are already in use in another virtual host. This happens on the Hyperkitty sign-up page: /accounts/signup/ , with the errors being "A user is already registered with this e-mail address." and "A user with that username already exists.". I am assuming this is a well-known limitation, which would require a serious internal redesign to fix; correct? I was able to successfully login in the browser to a vhost using my user credentials from the original vhost (the one where the account was created) (the password was not auto-filled, of course, because of a different domain name). But how safe is this? How about subscribing to lists, posting etc.? Is this going to mess things up somehow? Thanks Stanisław

duplicate SITE_IDs and broken /postorius/lists/ display; Mailman Client
by Stanisław Findeisen 25 Mar '22

25 Mar '22

Hi I am having 4 different virtual domains (FILTER_VHOST = True). However on the domain list page in Postorius: https://.../postorius/domains/ I can see only 3 different SITE_IDs: 1,1,4,3. If I recall correctly, the "3" and "4" were created manually using the Postorius Web UI, whereas the two "1"s were created using the Mailman Client: client.create_domain(name) Is this a bug? Or did I mess something up? What significance do those SITE_IDs have? What I also noticed is that in the Postorius Web UI: https://.../postorius/lists/ both "1" domains display the lists contained in "3", whereas both "3" and "4" display correctly their lists. Except the "3", all domains are empty at the moment (no lists) (so "4" correctly displays no lists). Not sure if this is related?... Mailman Core Version GNU Mailman 3.3.3 (Tom Sawyer) Mailman Core API Version 3.1 Mailman Core Python Version 3.9.2 (default, Feb 28 2021, 17:03:44) [GCC 10.2.1 20210110] Thanks! Stanisław

23 Mar '22

I successfully installed mailman3 but Postorius doesn't display images on the web interface. I have checked and the files exist at at the location /opt/mailman/web/static/postorius i have checked the logs and they appear as follows: [pid: 366783|app: 0|req: 43/104] () {34 vars in 687 bytes} [Tue Mar 22 09:36:30 2022] GET /static/postorius/js/script.js => generated 5280 bytes in 43 msecs (HTTP/1.1 404) 6 headers in 197 bytes (1 switches on core 0) [pid: 366783|app: 0|req: 44/105] () {34 vars in 715 bytes} [Tue Mar 22 09:36:30 2022] GET /static/postorius/img/favicon.ico => generated 5280 bytes in 43 msecs (HTTP/1.1 404) 6 headers in 197 bytes (1 switches on core 1) it seems the browser fails to access the directory where the pictures are stored. I have checked and mailman is the owner of that directory. Please advise.

anyway to change/set options for a bunch of users?
by bob B 23 Mar '22

23 Mar '22

We just migrated to mailman 3 and one of my admins asked is there a way to change their digest options, when adding a bunch of users via mas subscription? I was looking for an option to say all new users are set to digest, but I can't find it. Also, is there a way to select multiple users in list and change their digest options? I believe could do this in mailman2 but I am trying to figure out if this is possible for the GUI in mailman3?

Special Characters Issue when using Wordpress HTML messages
by ryan.anderson.4＠go.mnstate.edu 23 Mar '22

23 Mar '22

Hello, We are having trouble where we are using a WordPress server send messages our to a few of our lists as HTML embedded messages. We do not want the messages to be shown as Plaintext, so we have that setting turned off in WordPress and in all our lists' settings. The messages come through just fine, but several characters are being changed to "?". Some of these include ` and - . We recently upgraded from 2.1 to 3.3 and we love the new system, other than the fact that our news messages are looking bad because of all the "?" in them. The charset was set to US-ASCII, but I have changed it to UTF-8 and that has not seemed to do anything. Any ideas on how we can prevent these characters from being changed?

ARC
by David Krantz 20 Mar '22

20 Mar '22

Hi all, Is the documentation correct that ARC should be as simple to configure in mailman 3 as to add the private DKIM key and restarting mailman? (https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/handlers/docs/arc_sign…) I've tried that without finding any effect in my so far limited tests. I have not found anything in logs although I might have missed looking in one. Are there any known limitations? I have previously a working DKIM signature on outgoing mail as well as correctly set up SPF in DNS and SPF-checking on received mail. The verification on incoming mail adds a few headers but I do not think that that should be an issue, neither would the DKIM signing change anything should mailman add new headers. I now run Mailman 3.2.3 (La Villa Strangiato) on Python 3.7.4. Cheers // David

Dealing with email bounces from web signups
by Andrew Hodgson 18 Mar '22

18 Mar '22

Hi. Back on the topic of bogus web signups again. I am dealing with several hundreds of these per month and we're talking a very low traffic system here. I have a cronjob to remove the users from the database. Right now a concern for me is handling the bounces for the confirmation emails that don't get delivered. These are coming from postorius(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org<mailto:postorius@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> which I have redirected to a mailbox so as not to clutter up the mail queue. What I would ideally like is if we get a bounce from one of these confirmation mails we delete the user from the database but that is probably a future request. We don't get too many of these, around 20-30 a week. What are other people doing with these messages? Thanks. Andrew.

Hi everyone, we're going to be using a Mailman3 list for the purpose of providing email support. So: * Anyone can post to the list * Agents will reply to the poster to receive support, and the reply must go back to the original poster (the client) and the mailing list for other agents to see * The poster's replies will be sent to the mailing list (so other agents can see) as well as to the agent who initially replied to the initial posting Is there any way to accomplish this? Right now, if the agent replies to the client's email correctly but the client doesn't hit "Reply All" the email is only sent to the agent that initially took the "case" and the other agents aren't aware that there was a response.

How to promote non-members to members?
by Quanah Gibson-Mount 17 Mar '22

17 Mar '22

Hello, We have a constant issue with confirmation emails for subscribers getting lost and then the subscriber contacting us because their posts to the list never show up. Is there a way I can, as an administrator, do the confirmation on their behalf or in some other way promote them to being a member from non-member? Regards, Quanah

pending subscriptions lost?
by IEM Network Operation Center (IOhannes m zmölnig) 15 Mar '22

15 Mar '22

hi, after mark has helped me at the end of january to find users that were not attached to any mailing list (indicating people who pressed the wrong button when trying tosign up), we sent out a 2nd mass mail to our target audience to ask them to subscribe again. we are now getting feedback from people, who say that they are unable to sign up, with mailman3 telling them: > Subscription request already pending this is somewhat bad as: - at least some of the users (who reported the problem) tried to subscribe 2 months ago (2022-01-04) - if they did not confirm their email back then, i'm pretty sure that this email has been lost by now - my /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg has "pending_request_life: 3d" - i (as administrator) do not see any "pending subscriptions" (the list is setup with a simple "Confirm" subscription policy - i (as administrator) do not find any mention of the user's email address anywhere either in postorious webinterface of the list, nor in the django - in the sql-dump (it's been a while since i worked with postgres on a higher level) i do see the user's email in the workflowstate, address and pendedkeyvalue tables. the installation is (still) mailman_3.2.1-1 on a Debian/buster system (using the Debian/buster packages for mailman3) i wonder: - why are the pending subscriptions not expired? (i guess they should have expired after 3 days) - why can't people re-subscribe while there's a subscription pending (e.g. if the confirmation mail got lost)? - how can i list all pending subscriptions (for a given mailinglist)? - how can i resolve the situtation (e.g. send out another reminder; manually expire the pendings; manually confirm the pendings,...) gfmdsd IOhannes

hyperkitty url not found
by Eggert Ehmke 15 Mar '22

15 Mar '22

I installed mailman3 in a virtualenv following this guide: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html[1] The mailinglists work very good. However, I did not manage to set up hyperkitty archiving. Archiving is enabled in mailman.cfg. I can call the Archive site from my configuration page, but it is empty. In my /opt/mailman/mm/var/logs/mailman.log file I find error messages like: HyperKitty failure on http://localhost/mailman/hyperkitty/api/mailman/archive: The requested URL was not found on this server. Indeed I cannot access that url using curl. Do I have to set up a separate apache vhost? The documentation is not clear about this, or I missed it. My external visible url is https://lists.[2]<tld>_/mailman3/mailman3/lists/_ -------- [1] https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html [2] https://lists.ftv-spandau.de/mailman3/mailman3/lists/

Delete user
by Rainer Herbst 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

Hi *! Recently, I have updated my docker images to 0.4.2 and it worked great. In the Postorius GUI, I see a new topic "Users" and found it quite comfortable. But one problem remais open - how can I delete a user alltogether, i.e. including his subscription and account data from the database? The reason for this question are the GDPR regulations - we do subscribe new staff members to some lists automatically, and should unsubscribe them and delete the entries after they left our organization.

DKIM signatures with message footers or subject prefixes
by Stanisław Findeisen 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

Dear Experts What is the best way to go about reconciling GNU Mailman3-made message modifications (like message footers or subject prefixes) with sender-made DKIM signatures? I am aware of the "DMARC mitigations" tab in the list settings, not bad, but it looks that "replace From: with list address" doesn't help (of course), whereas wrapping the message in an outer message often looks ugly. Is there a better way?... BTW I would like to point out that broken DKIM signature can be a problem even with an easy DMARC policy; for example ProtonMail will display this flashy red warning: https://protonmail.com/support/knowledge-base/email-has-failed-its-domains-… in its webmail. (I guess nothing can be done about it except "DMARC Mitigate unconditionally"). This is GNU Mailman 3.1. Thanks!

list footer questions
by Mohsen Masoudfar 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

Hi, This seems to me like basic simple questions, I have tried FAQ and other resources, with not much success. I have two questions: 1. When I send an email to a list, in gmail and yahoo I see the following text with the links at the end of the email body: _______________________________________________ Testlist_dmark1 mailing list - listname(a)domain.tlb<mailto:testlist_dmark1@newlistserv.aaas.org> To unsubscribe send an email to listname-leave(a)domain.tlb In<mailto:listname-leave@domain.tlb%0b%0bIn> outlook this is added as an attachment in the form of a TEXT file, when you open it, you see the same text. Question: Is there a way to change this, that it looks in outlook the same way as it appears in gmail/yahoo? I know MS does it own stuff sometime and we have no impact on that, but I was thinking maybe we might change the footer in a way that outlooks sees that as part of email body. 2. How may I change the format and the text in footer? I was expecting it under list > setting, in postorius, but I could not find it.

Why is this Postorius API public?

Hello I've just noticed that Postorius API is publicly accessible from the outside to an unauthenticated user, for example: https://HOST/postorius/api/templates/list/LISTNAME.VHOST/list:member:regula… Is this what is expected? Or a misconfiguration? How to fix this? This is GNU Mailman 3.1. Thanks!

New MM3 plugin: mailman_sieve
by Дилян Палаузов 10 Mar '22

10 Mar '22

Hello, I have published a new Mailman 3 plugin at https://mail.aegee.org/cgit/mailman_sieve/tree/ . It generates for each mailing list a Sieve script. When the Sieve script is evaluated during the SMTP dialog, it would reject some emails, which otherwise would be bounced by Mailman. Less bounces means less backscatters and better IP reputation. For the record, I do the evaluation of the Sieve scripts during the SMTP dialog with https://mail.aegee.org/cgit/aegee-milter . Since the latter is not documented yet, you cannot use it. The mailman_sieve plugin is not useful, unless you have software to evaluate the Sieve Scripts during the SMTP dialog. This is a very first version, which does what it is supposed to do. Some optimizations are possible, like not including the subscriber addresses in the Sieve scripts for announce-only mailing lists. I am not good at writing setuptools configuration. Neither do I understand the mailman system very good right now, creating possibly shorter scripts. But the plugin is there to keep by IP reputation good! See https://mail.aegee.org/cgit/mailman_sieve/tree/README.md . My reading of the mm3 source code is that there is no event triggered, when the mailing list configuration changes, like adding a new moderator, or switching the announce-only status. In the lack of such event triggers, the Sieve scripts are not updated. When the code improves, the plugin could be published in PyPi or in mailman/contrib . Greetings Дилян

GNU Mailman in Google Summer of Code 2022!
by Stephen J. Turnbull 10 Mar '22

10 Mar '22

Hi all, We are participating in Google Summer of Code 2022 (GSoC) under the Python Software Foundation (PSF). We did apply as a separate organization, but didn't get in. Many thanks to the PSF's GSoC organization for picking us up at the last minute! You can find our ideas page at https://wiki.list.org/DEV/Google%20Summer%20of%20Code%202022, and item on the PSF ideas page under https://python-gsoc.org/ideas.html (which isn't so interesting about Mailman, but you can check out who else is under the PSF banner there). Discussion and development of project ideas will take place on mailman-developers(a)python.org. If you have a developed idea not already listed that you're willing to discuss and advocate, and you're willing to grab the template (last item on our ideas page on list.org) and fill it out, please post it to mailman-developers(a)python.org. (This a deliberate hoop-jumping exercise to filter in "serious" ideas.) You can put more weight on it by expressing interest in mentoring the project, and even more by actually volunteering! ;-) If you have a half-baked idea, and/or you want to get input from other Mailman users, of course you should feel free to discuss it on mailman-users(a)mailman3.org. We *might* pick it up from there, even if it's just a drive-by post with little support from the list members. But no promises about that, most of our attention will go to mailman-developers. If you feel some idea should get more love, polish it a little and post that to mailman-developers (don't cross-post, please). Again, we'd love to have more mentors, including backup mentors. We currently only have two mentors. Although we're both core developers, and I'm on an academic schedule and can devote plenty of time to the student during the summer, not so for Abhilash. Volunteering at this stage is not a promise to do more than look at student proposals. You would only be asked to look at the proposals, and volunteer as mentor for that project if you have interest and some level of knowledge to contribute to it. Even if you're a site admin with little Python programming experience, vetting interns' brainstorms about list admin-visible features and holding their hands until the "pros from Dover" arrive is quite helpful in making the student feel at home in our community. Many students are shy about blogging and communicating about their projects to the community -- just talking to them about their project and suggesting that they blog what they told you is helpful. Coding skills and knowledge of some part of the Mailman 3 code base are most welcome, of course, but you can make your mentor role what you want it to be. Regards, Steve

address for email for owner
by bob B 09 Mar '22

09 Mar '22

I just migrated my lists to mailman3 in docker today... YEAHHH!!!!!!!! but now my admins have to setup accounts and I noticed when they get the email to confirm it comes from admnin(a)[XYZ.COM]. Where is this email set? how can I change it? it is set to an internal domain (not public) of ours, so it is getting flagged as spam in external email accounts I looked in my docker. yaml and the MAILMAN_ADMIN_EMAIL=mailman3(a)[123.com}. which is where I would expect the request/confirmation email to come from.

User suspended after too much spam
by Eggert Ehmke 06 Mar '22

06 Mar '22

I have set up spamassassin as spamfilter, and it works reasonable so far. Some spam passes the filter and I try to use it for training. However, one of my users has a very restrictive spam filter and rejects all spam. This causes mailman to suspend that user. I have to enable the user each time. How can I change that behaviour? I do not want my users to be suspended. Cheers

Mailman3 not working following distribution upgrade from Debian 10 to 11.
by gordon＠dickens.com 06 Mar '22

06 Mar '22

I performed a distribution upgrade from Debian 10 Buster (which runs mailman 3.2.1) to Debian 11 Bullseye (which runs mailman 3.3.1) with the command "apt-get full-upgrade -y" and everything apparently worked properly except at the end of the upgrade when the following error dialog was generated by the mailman3-web and mailman3-full post-installation scripts: Setting up mailman3-web (0+20200530-2) ... Determining localhost credentials from /etc/mysql/debian.cnf: succeeded. dbconfig-common: writing config to /etc/dbconfig-common/mailman3-web.conf dbconfig-common: flushing administrative password sed: -e expression #2, char 77: unterminated `s' command dpkg: error processing package mailman3-web (--configure): installed mailman3-web package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mailman3-full: mailman3-full depends on mailman3-web; however: Package mailman3-web is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing package mailman3-full (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: mailman3-web mailman3-full E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Now, every time that I execute "apt-get upgrade" then I continue to get the above error dialog. Also, the command "dpkg-reconfigure mailman3-web" generates this output: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: mailman3-web is broken or not fully installed So, I am now stuck since apt-get is saying that mailman3-web is not configured yet, however, neither apt-get nor dpkg-reconfigure will successfully configure mailman3-web. Does anybody have any idea how to fix this? I would very much appreciate some suggestions. Thanks, Gordon

Is there any way to easily remove the login button for the List subscription page? 99% of our list do not use archiving, and log-in just confuses users so We would like for them just to be able to sign up to be on the list.
