transport map (postfix_lmtp) does not update - new lists not working
by Nils Jan. 29, 2024

Jan. 29, 2024

End of last year, I've re-installed mailman3 using the virtualenv installation method on ubuntu 20.04. Since then, the transport map (/opt/mailman/mm/var/data/postfix_lmtp) has not been updated even though, new mailing lists were created. The old mailing lists, that existed before the re-installation work perfectly fine but those created after are not accessible. Because the entries for those new lists are missing in the transport map, postfix replies with a "mail for ... loops back to myself" error. I'm quite sure, that I did all the steps in the documentation (except that I use a slightly different apache2 vhost configuration). I double checked on the cronjobs. crontab -u mailman -e @daily /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman digests --periodic @daily /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman notify * * * * * /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web runjobs minutely 0,15,30,45 * * * * /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web runjobs quarter_hourly @hourly /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web runjobs hourly @daily /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web runjobs daily @weekly /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web runjobs weekly @monthly /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web runjobs monthly @yearly /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web runjobs yearly Any idea, what I could have missed??? Kind regards, Nils

Fresh installation mailman3-suite via "pipx" - any experiences yet?
by Wikinaut Jan. 27, 2024

Jan. 27, 2024

I recently found the "pipx" wrapper very useful and wanted to ask you if this could be facilitate the fresh installation of the mailman3-suite. Has anyone in the list already experiences installing mailman and mailmanweg through "pipx"? Here are my general tipps for using pipx # https://pipx.pypa.io/stable/installation/#on-linux sudo apt install pipx python3-venv To install a package systemwide for all users, I recommend the tip from https://github.com/pypa/pipx/issues/754#issuecomment-951162846 . sudo PIPX_HOME=/opt/pipx PIPX_BIN_DIR=/usr/local/bin pipx install <package>

share directories between postfix and mailman 3
by Thomas Schachtner Jan. 24, 2024

Jan. 24, 2024

Hi there, I think I have (finally) set up a working instance of mailman 3 on a host separate from the companion postfix mail server actually sending out the mails. One server (postfix) is directly in the internet and the other one is in an internal network not directly reachable from the internet (but connected using a reverse proxy). The services on the hosts are available to one another (i. e. the postfix server is reachable using 127.0.0.1:25 from mailman and mailman is reachable using 127.0.0.1:8024 from postfix using a permanent ssh tunnel betwenn the two hosts). I think that this solution could work quite reliably... (at least I hope so.) But that's not the full deal. Postfix needs access to some hashed configuration files containing the transport maps and the domains of the mailman installation, and mailman needs the contents of the postfix configuration file. As a quick and dirty solution, I've established a process which periodically copies the /var/lib/mailman3 directory from the mailman box to the postfix box using rsync. But I would like to have a more professional solution, like a directly shared directory between both. I did not yet find any suggestions on how to achieve this. Are there any best practices recommendations? I already tried sharing the directories using sshfs, but that did not work. I connected the remote directory postfix.example.com:/var/lib/mailman3 to my local directory /var/lib/mailman3 using sshfs root@postfix.example.com:/var/lib/mailman3 /var/lib/mailman3 This seemed to work pretty fine, as all files and directories seemed to be available, but when starting mailman 3, the following error message was shown: FileExistsError: A race condition might have happened. /var/lib/mailman3 actually exists and is not a directory. Any idea why this message is shown? So, is it a bad idea to use sshfs? Do I have to install an NFS server? But I am not sure if sharing directories using NFS across the Internet is a good idea... Any suggestions? Best regards Tom

log rotation for bounce.log
by Quanah Gibson-Mount Jan. 22, 2024

Jan. 22, 2024

I noticed that our smtp.log and bounce.log files haven't been rotated in years. I see the reason for smtp.log not being rotated is due to <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/931>. Does this same issue affect bounce.log or is it safe to rotate similar to mailman.log?

emails to list missing from archive after upgrade
by Quanah Gibson-Mount Jan. 19, 2024

Jan. 19, 2024

So next issue post upgrade: I sent three emails to one of the lists today. All of them went to the list, as I got copies of each one, and the headers clearly show them coming from the list. However, when I go look at the archives for the list, they don't show up at all. And it's been over 8 hours since I sent them. --Quanah

Delivery to mail@domain.tld failed with code 444, [Errno 111] Connection refused
by christopher.claus＠tgcamberg1848.de Jan. 19, 2024

Jan. 19, 2024

Hi together, I´m using Mailman3.3.9 and postfix in docker containers seperatly. Everything worked fine since this afternoon. The error occurs, after postfix transports an incoming mail to mailman. After processing the mail, sending to all recepients failed >> Delivery to mail(a)domain.tld failed with code 444, [Errno 111] Connection refused I checked the configuration of postfix and added a wide IP-range to mynetworks: postfix-main.cf mynetworks = mailman-core tgc_mailman_core t 127.0.0.0/8 [::1]/128 [fe80::]/64 172.18.0.0/16 172.21.0.0/16 [2001:8d8:1800:283]/64 172.0.0.0/24 relay_domains = $mydestination #smtpd_sender_restrictions = reject_unknown_sender_domain,reject_unknown_reverse_client_hostname smtpd_sender_restrictions = reject_unknown_sender_domain smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,permit_sasl_authenticated,reject_unauth_destination smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated check_recipient_access hash:/etc/postfix/filtered_domains permit_mynetworks reject_unauth_destination smtpd_data_restrictions = reject_unauth_pipelining Does anyone have a clue for me as to why delivery to Postfix is failing? My last change a couple of days ago was adding an public ipv6-address to the host. But docker still works without IPv6. I thought about client-identification issues between maiolman-core and postfix but did noch find anything to fix ... Best regards, Christopher
