Settings for prevention of spam obfuscation
by Richard Rosner Feb. 26, 2024

Feb. 26, 2024

Are there any settings that may help with making it easier seeing spam as spam? E.g. some mail programs, including Outlook, allow the user to set a from mail address that most mail clients will show instead of the true sender address, but the senders mail address is still present in the sender header field. While some people and companies carelessly abuse that functionality, hiding their true mail address, those bad practices also are abused my spammers and others. Does mailman have any settings that would remove any such obfuscations, e.g. in this case detect the manipulated from address and replace it with the sender address? While I do run my own spam filter, it's virtually getting harder every day to make sure you detect all spam while not having too many false positives. If it was possible to reverse at least the most obvious manipulations, that would probably already help. Also, it would make it much easier for the users to see at first glance who actually wrote an email. It's always less trustworthy if the senders address is shown as user3168(a)suspiciousdomain.gg instead of it being manipulated to say support(a)yourprovider.com.

Unable to get Postfix to bounce messages to non-existent lists
by skenny＠scss.tcd.ie Feb. 21, 2024

Feb. 21, 2024

We have Mailman working well in our environment, but there's one thing I can't seem to make happen no matter what I try. The situation is as follows: Postfix runs on on a different server than Mailman. Its main.cf says local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps transport_maps = regexp:/var/mailman-data/postfix_lmtp relay_domains = regexp:/var/mailman-data/postfix_domains The file postfix_lmtp is initially generated by Mailman (running on a different machine). A background process creates a version of the file wherein the lmtp IP address is changed to the network IP of the Mailman server, and that version is sync'd over to the Postfix server. On the latter, a typical block for a list then reads as follows (where A.B.C.D is the IP address of the Mailman server): /^some-list(a)lists\.scss\.tcd\.ie$/ lmtp:[A.B.C.D]:8024 /^some-list-bounces(\+.*)?(a)lists\.scss\.tcd\.ie$/ lmtp:[A.B.C.D]:8024 /^some-list-confirm(\+.*)?(a)lists\.scss\.tcd\.ie$/ lmtp:[A.B.C.D]:8024 /^some-list-join(a)lists\.scss\.tcd\.ie$/ lmtp:[A.B.C.D]:8024 /^some-list-leave(a)lists\.scss\.tcd\.ie$/ lmtp:[A.B.C.D]:8024 /^some-list-owner(a)lists\.scss\.tcd\.ie$/ lmtp:[A.B.C.D]:8024 /^some-list-request(a)lists\.scss\.tcd\.ie$/ lmtp:[A.B.C.D]:8024 /^some-list-subscribe(a)lists\.scss\.tcd\.ie$/ lmtp:[A.B.C.D]:8024 /^some-list-unsubscribe(a)lists\.scss\.tcd\.ie$/ lmtp:[A.B.C.D]:8024 The only problem with this is that if someone sends a message to a non-existent mailing list, Postfix nevertheless accepts the mail, and it loiters in the queue for several days before eventually being bounced back to the sender. I want to get Postfix to reject mail to non-existent mailing lists immediately. I've come up short with each variation of main.cf settings I've tried, and would greatly appreciate any advice. Many thanks Stephen Kenny

Feb. 9, 2024

I have a situation where I need to add / remove 10-20 non-members to a particular list every week and set the moderation bit to 'accept immediately (bypass other rules). I do the above via postorius because I couldn't find a way to do this via mailman shell. Can anyone help me please to achieve the above?

Problems with mailman core translation and other details
by celi＠dieese.org.br Feb. 9, 2024

Feb. 9, 2024

Hi. We did a fresh install of the Debian Mailman 3 full package. I'd like all components to be translated into pt_BR. I downloaded the latest updated translations from weblate, which says that 100% of the project (all components) are translated. I checked and recompiled mailman.po with msgfmt without errors. I followed all instructions I saw, included the ones from the topic How to change the language in mailman3 in this list. Everything almost OK, except from the fact that none of mailman's core email messages are being translated, even though mailman.po shows the right messages. Also, strange things happen to these .po files. The web interface is almost perfect, but some messages (just some) are not correct - although the corresponding django.po appears to be OK. It´s the case below: the pair msgid/msgstr seems to be OK, but this particular sentence is not being translated. #: templates/postorius/lists/summary.html:88 #, python-format msgid "" "\n" " To subscribe you can send an email with 'subscribe' in the " "subject to\n" " <a href=\"mailto:%(address)s?subject=Subscribe\">" "%(address)s</a>\n" " or use the form below:\n" " " msgstr "" "\n" " Para se inscrever você pode enviar um e-mail com o assunto " "'subscribe' para\n" " <a href=\"mailto:%(address)s?subject=Subscribe\">" "%(address)s</a>\n" " ou use o formulário abaixo:\n" What am I doing wrong? Or what can I do to make things suitable? Additional info: GNU Mailman 3.3.3 (Tom Sawyer) Python 3.9.2 (default, Feb 28 2021, 17:03:44) [GCC 10.2.1 20210110] Postorius v. 1.3.4 HyperKitty v. 1.3.4 Thanx for any help

Hiding an ML from a site
by Odhiambo Washington Feb. 8, 2024

Feb. 8, 2024

I host two MLs on the same server/same MM3 instance. Under the Django Admin interface, I created two sites. I expected that each ML will belong to its own site and should not be visible on another site. On https://mm3-lists.kictanet.or.ke/mm/lists/, you can see the two lists. How do I stop the "Users" list from showing up on this site ( https://mm3-lists.kictanet.or.ke/mm/lists/) since it belongs to its own site - https://exim4u.org/mm/lists/ ? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 In an Internet failure case, the #1 suspect is a constant: DNS.

search this list searches more then just this list
by Marco van Tol Feb. 6, 2024

Feb. 6, 2024

Hi there, We run the following versions: mailman-core: 3.3.9 mailman-core-api: 3.1 mailman-core-python: 3.11.6 hyperkitty: 1.3.8 We have several lists on our server, I will write down a list of example list names that are good enough for the purpose of my question. xx(a)domain.tld <mailto:xx@domain.tld> yy-xx(a)domain.tld <mailto:yy-xx@domain.tld> zz-xx(a)domain.tld <mailto:zz-xx@domain.tld> When I now visit the archives for xx(a)domain.tld <mailto:xx@domain.tld> and enter a search phrase in “search this list”, the results include the other 2 lists. It looks like “search this list” searches for keyword in any listname that matches the one from "this list". Is there a way to really only search “this list” when I go to the archives for xx(a)domain.tld <mailto:xx@domain.tld>? I have tried to change the url for the results to have a ‘^’ in front of the listname, but that gives an error :-) Thanks in advance! Marco van Tol

Disable all mail capabilities
by Hope Less Feb. 2, 2024

Feb. 2, 2024

I have a decades old list that was abandoned on my server. I upgraded it to mailman3 but it never came back to life. It is causing me some grief. I want to keep the archives up but totally disable any mail capabilities. I have turned off mail for the domain but I still get 'crap' that tries to relay. I've manually tried to remove stuff from the transport tables in Postfix but I still get mail. I'm not sure where the problem lies. If I can't stop this I'll have to remove the list entirely which includes the archives. I really wish to leave the archives up. Any idea on how I can remove the mail capabilities and leave the rest? Thank You.

after upgrade: OperationalError: no such column: hyperkitty_mailinglist.archive_rendering_mode
by Hans Mayer Jan. 31, 2024

Jan. 31, 2024

Dear All, recently I did a system os upgrade debian 11.8 -> 12.4 / bullseye -> bookworm This did also upgrade Mailman3 version 3.3.3 -> 3.3.8 as a used the packages which came with Debian OS. Initially after the upgrade I had some troubles with the MM3 services to start, but I fixed this. Now almost everything is running. Only the Archives are not working. The browser shows a server error, when I look at the mailman-web.log I see ERROR 2024-01-31 15:14:14,403 2699563 django.request Internal Server Error: /mailman3/hyperkitty/ Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/db/backends/utils.py", line 84, in _execute return self.cursor.execute(sql, params) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/db/backends/sqlite3/base.py", line 423, in execute return Database.Cursor.execute(self, query, params) sqlite3.OperationalError: no such column: hyperkitty_mailinglist.archive_rendering_mode When I check the schema I find such a column in table "mailinglist" I assume there is only one solution, to uninstall and delete everything and start from scratch. Or is there a way the check all tables with a script and do an table update for missing columns ? Or a partial installation of hyperkitty, as I don't care about the archives. I am using sqlite3 as DB backend. Kind regards Hans --

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???

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

moving list from mm3 -> mm3
by Jens Günther Jan. 19, 2024

Jan. 19, 2024

Hey there, I'm still trying to figure out, how to move a bunch of lists from one mm3-instance to another. If somebody has a working solution, I would be really glad to hear from it. I came across this thread, but I don't think it tackles my question: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… (or maybe I missed the right parts) We have equal setups and versions: - maxxking docker install 0.4.5 - Core 3.3.8 - API 3.1 - Postorius 1.3.8 ## Config So I found the possibility to get the config of a list via REST-API: curl -u restadmin:restpass localhost:8001/3.1/lists/$short.$domain/config | jq > short.domain This is a nice collection of the configuration of a certain list. Does anybody know how I would get this data back to the newly created list in the second working mm3-instance? Shouldn't it be possible via POST command? I thought of something like: curl -u restadmin:restpass -d @short.domain -H "Content-Type: application/json" localhost:8001/3.1/lists/&short.&domain/config But it returns {"title": "405 Method Not Allowed"} and I don't know where to look in the docs, since it shows almost always a way through mailman shell. Here I found something about POST: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/rest/docs/… -> but how would it work exactly? ## Members, moderators, owners To export all members I normally run within mm-core-container as user mailman the following command: mailman members &short.&domain > &short.txt To fill them back in, it can be done in Postorius (or is there a way through API?). What I would love to know is how to get out Owners of the corresponding lists and reimport them in the new one (which will be the same at the end :-D but different instance). ## registered users This part is somehow tricky, since I have no clue how to do it. Some of the mailinglist-admins don't want to bother their list-owners again with registering newly on the other system. Is there a way to export all users (I think I found them in the DB in the table auth_users, somehow in combination with account_emailaddress) and get them over to the new instance (actually I just need part of them, but that's another question that I might solve lateron on my own). Maybe the answer is already here: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/rest/docs/… -> but can somebody help to get this working (import/export)? Thank you in advance, I hope it's not too much or too nooby :-) Jens.

All users getting disabled after upgrade of mailman3
by Quanah Gibson-Mount Jan. 19, 2024

Jan. 19, 2024

Hello, We just upgraded our mailman to the latest provided from Debian bookworm (I know, not the recommended installation method). Now everyone's having their addresses disabled due to "bounce" errors. This is odd, because I'm disabled, even though I received the 2 emails I sent to the list today (and that's the only list traffic today). I used the mailman shell command from <https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/…> to see who has been disabled. I had to make one fix to it, it should be m.list_name not mlist.list_name. Confirmed that dozens of valid users have had their sub disabled. In the logs I see: Jan 18 19:25:17 2024 (952) Member quanah(a)fast-mail.org on list openldap-technical.openldap.org, bounce score = 1.

Splitting hosts: mta&core vs postorius
by Ruth Ivimey-Cook Jan. 18, 2024

Jan. 18, 2024

I'm trying to set up mailman3 on two hosts, one of which runs core + exim, the other runs postorius (&possibly hyperkitty). I have I think got core set up correctly, and postorius is sort of usable, but anything in the web ui that talks to core ends up with a white screen. I think what is happening is a postorius URL ends up with the core (or perhaps no) hostname, and as there's nothing there to answer it fails. I've checked the settings and I don't think I have misconfigured postorius. Is it possible that the bad url is being passed from core to postorius in some way and reused without changing the host? In the config at present, both hosts are visible to the browser, and each host can communicate with the other. Any ideas on how to pin down the problem better? Ruth

how to migrate mailing lists to a new domain using mailman 3
by C. Souza Jan. 18, 2024

Jan. 18, 2024

In a few days my current domain will be disabled (it is out of my control) and I would like to know how to migrate the mailing lists to the new domain name. As a solution I added a new domain in mailman 3 and created a script that replicates the lists in this new domain. To forward the emails received by the old lists, the script removes the members and adds the email of the new list. Is there a fashionable way to do that? Also, one problem that I don't have a solution is the archive of the old lists. How to bring them to the new ones? Thanks for your help. My mailing list server is running on a CenOS-7x with postgreSQL and the following mailman packages: Package Version ------------------- ---------- 1 aiosmtpd 1.2.4 2 alembic 1.5.3 3 arrow 0.17.0 4 asgiref 3.3.1 5 atpublic 2.1.2 6 authheaders 0.13.0 7 authres 1.2.0 8 bleach 3.3.0 9 blessed 1.17.12 10 certifi 2020.12.5 11 cffi 1.14.4 12 chardet 4.0.0 13 click 7.1.2 14 cmarkgfm 0.5.2 15 cryptography 3.3.1 16 decorator 4.4.2 17 defusedxml 0.6.0 18 Django 3.0.12 19 django-allauth 0.44.0 20 django-appconf 1.0.4 21 django-compressor 2.4 22 django-extensions 3.1.0 23 django-gravatar2 1.4.4 24 django-haystack 3.0 25 django-mailman3 1.3.5 26 django-picklefield 3.0.1 27 django-q 1.3.4 28 djangorestframework 3.12.2 29 dkimpy 1.0.5 30 dnspython 2.1.0 31 docutils 0.16 32 falcon 2.0.0 33 flufl.bounce 3.0.1 34 flufl.i18n 2.0.2 35 flufl.lock 3.2 36 gunicorn 20.0.4 37 HyperKitty 1.3.3 38 idna 2.10 39 importlib-resources 5.1.0 40 lazr.config 2.2.3 41 lazr.delegates 2.0.4 42 mailman 3.3.2 43 mailman-hyperkitty 1.1.0 44 mailman-web 0.0.3 45 mailmanclient 3.3.2 46 Mako 1.1.4 47 MarkupSafe 1.1.1 48 networkx 2.5 49 nose 1.3.7 50 oauthlib 3.1.0 51 packaging 20.9 52 passlib 1.7.4 53 pip 21.0.1 54 postorius 1.3.3 55 psycopg2-binary 2.8.6 56 publicsuffix2 2.20191221 57 pycparser 2.20 58 Pygments 2.7.4 59 PyJWT 2.0.1 60 pyparsing 2.4.7 61 python-dateutil 2.8.1 62 python-editor 1.0.4 63 python3-openid 3.2.0 64 pytz 2021.1 65 rcssmin 1.0.6 66 readme-renderer 28.0 67 requests 2.25.1 68 requests-oauthlib 1.3.0 69 rjsmin 1.1.0 70 robot-detection 0.4 71 setuptools 39.2.0 72 six 1.15.0 73 SQLAlchemy 1.3.23 74 sqlparse 0.4.1 75 typing-extensions 3.7.4.3 76 urllib3 1.26.3 77 uWSGI 2.0.19.1 78 wcwidth 0.2.5 79 webencodings 0.5.1 80 wheel 0.36.2 81 Whoosh 2.7.4 82 zipp 3.4.0 83 zope.component 4.6.2 84 zope.configuration 4.4.0 85 zope.deferredimport 4.3.1 86 zope.deprecation 4.4.0 87 zope.event 4.5.0 88 zope.hookable 5.0.1 89 zope.i18nmessageid 5.0.1 90 zope.interface 5.2.0 91 zope.proxy 4.3.5 92 zope.schema 6.0.1 -- Carlos Souza

Postorius and some CSS issue?
by Odhiambo Washington Jan. 12, 2024

Jan. 12, 2024

Happy New Year to you too all. MM3 installed today using the virtualenv method. On my testbench, I am having this strange issue where the Postorius is not displaying correctly perhaps because of some CSS issue - or just my own hangovers! I have used the standard method as documented. The error I get: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/dhvsHFG4jH/ -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft.", egrep -v '^$|^.*#' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ :-) [How to ask smart questions: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html]

Loops back to myself
by David Krantz Jan. 12, 2024

Jan. 12, 2024

Hi, I have a problem with my Mailman 3-setup. The symptom is that postfix rejects non-existing addresses for my list domains with <adr(a)example.com>: mail for example.com loops back to myself What I guess happens happens is that postfix for some reason accepts the mail as it is for a relay domain and finds that it is not deliverable locally as the address does not exist locally and then tries to relay it on to the appropriate MX server, which is itself and then fails and generates a bounce message. This is a bit annoying as I have set up postfix to only accept valid addresses. I have set the transport_maps, local_recipient_maps and relay_domains to the files generated by MM3. I run an older version of MM3 (3.0) but prefer to fix this without upgrading as upgrading is a relatively big undertaking. This is mostly a backscatter problem for spam I guess. Any ideas of very simple and easy to forget things that I've probably missed? Cheers // David

Review requested for some merge requests
by Stephen J. Turnbull Jan. 10, 2024

Jan. 10, 2024

Reply-To set to Mailman Developers. Please check that your replies go there. Or you can comment on MRs directly if you have a GitLab login. I have three merge requests pending: [1] https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/merge_requests/1159 [2] https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/merge_requests/1160 [3] https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/merge_requests/1161 [1] fixes the logging initialization bug that prevented the `smtp` log from rotating properly, and maybe some others. I don't think it needs user review because it's a pure bugfix, but if you're curious and take a look, and you think it needs better documentation let me know. [2] adds a configuration variable `lmtp_max_size`. This is user-visible, so review of the documentation in docs/mta.rst and config/mailman.cfg for clarity and readability would be appreciated. [3] adds postfix-pgsql support for use of the PostgreSQL database to route Mailman traffic. It's really most useful in an edge case (migration of 10,000+ list Mailman 2 instances), but it's theoretically attractive on the principle of "single source of truth", and possibly for implementing a "microservices" style cloud instance (it eliminates the need for Mailman and Postfix to share a file system). Besides opinions on the value of the general idea I have two specific questions: - Postfix docs recommend not looking up domains in the database to reduce load on the database server. But on a dedicated Mailman system, you're going to be looking up pretty much everything twice anyway (once to check for local recipient and once to fetch the transport), and my experience so far is that this isn't a big load on Postgres, and it's not a drag on list traffic distribution. Should I implement domain lookup in Postgres? Should it be optional if the lists are being looked up in Postgres? - The current patch completely disables generation of the postfix_lmtp alias file, even for the `mailman aliases` command. Should I implement an option to force generation of the files for documentation (and maybe a backup in a very rare and contorted situation where Mailman can see Postgres but Postfix can't)? Thanks, Steve

Mailman 3 Core user assistance
by Tony Deshields Jan. 10, 2024

Jan. 10, 2024

I currently have a docker mailman stack that utilizes Django LDAP backend for authentication. I have my users attributes mapped as you see below in my settings.py file. Whenever a user logs into postorius with their 'uid', mailman-core uses their 'uid' as their email address instead of the 'email' attribute. Is there anyway to change this functionality? I would like my users to be able to login with their enterprise uid but be mapped to their email but I feel like there is a disconnect between Django and MM3 core. Any assistance is much appreciated. AUTH_LDAP_USER_ATTR_MAP = { "uid" : "userPrincipalName", "first_name": "givenName", "last_name": "sn", "email" : "mail", }

Docker mailman image can't access https://publicsuffix.org/

Thanks so it looks like Mailman can not get to publicsuffix. The wrinkle is I am running maxking's docker version. The host can get there, but not from the docker image. Any idea to to configure that? and this only comes into play when I set the dmarc settings.

Archive import fails: "IndexError: list index out of range"

I am now importing the archives of my old mailman2 installation. Unfortunately, with some of the larger and older lists, import fails halfway through, with an exception, the last message of which is IndexError: list index out of range Below is an example. This means that the last few years are missing from the archive in several lists. Are there any suggestions what I could do to still get them importet? Thanks!

Programmatically modify Thread-Topic *before* message is sent out the door?
by Thomas Ward Jan. 3, 2024

Jan. 3, 2024

We use a custom plugin to do numeric thread stamping, which has been working well in the code system. However, it was discovered by Microsoft that Microsoft Outlook and OWA prioritize the Thread-Topic header over the Subject header, which results in the oddness we've experienced in MS365 clients in testing. During our tasks though a custom handler goes through during the pipeline and modifies the Subject field accordingly, adding a thread tag to it. While this is 'fragile' it does work; the only problem is that Thread-Topic doesn't get altered. Programmatically, how would we alter the Thread-Topic during the handler's processing to prepend the corresponding prefix/tag so that when the message actually goes out the door it is properly sending with the modified Thread-Topic?

REST API for list owners/moderators
by mathias＠koerber.org Jan. 3, 2024

Jan. 3, 2024

Does Mailman 3 have an REST API that allows list-owners/moderators to perform list-management functions without having access to the whole server/other lists etc? ie, an API that uses the same credentials as Postorious but allows mass-subscription/un-subscription/membership-export etc and changes to list settings, membership settings (mod etc) via REST or python? The documentation seems to only indicate a single one-admin-user REST API that should not even be accessible from outside?

Message getting shunted with enabling Dmarc replace with list address

So we host a mailing list for domain X, the MX record points to us, we are domain y.

Editing the "example.org" site
by Stephen J. Turnbull Jan. 3, 2024

Jan. 3, 2024

Hi all, I don't know how many people will need this, but I just realized that you can edit Django's SITE 1 and (probably, 100% untested but I'm going on the clock so want to get this done quick :-) use that. When you add your first domain, there's a link in that page (not a button, a link!) to edit the domain list. Then you can click on the link to "example.org" in the list, and edit both display name (which I assumed) and the domain name. Maybe I'm just slow, but I've been adding SITE 2 = "Whatever site <whatever.tld>" the whole time. :-) But then you have to edit the SITE = 1 statement in settings.py (which I often forget and hilarity ensues). Of course adding a web site and editing settings.py (which you have to do anyway for other variables) works too, but this seems cleaner to me. Steve

Can't edit lists anymore: "Something went wrong HTTP Error 404"

Dec. 30, 2023

When I try to edit any list at "postorius/lists/LISTNAME.SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN.TLD/", I get this error. The lists are displayed correctly at "postorius/lists/". Selecting any of those lists leads to that error. First step of creating a new list is possible but I get the same error right after the creation of the new list.

"From address" for list moderation notification
by ronn.ramirez＠pge.com Dec. 30, 2023

Dec. 30, 2023

Hi Mailman Group, I noticed that the from address for list moderation notifications are coming from a certain user address. May you please help me figure out where to change this? In this example, I would like to change the From address "listadmin(a)domain.com" ================================================================ -----Original Message----- From: Admin <listadmin(a)domain.com> Sent: Thursday, December 28, 2023 12:00 AM To: dummy-list <dummy-list(a)domainx.com> Subject: The dummy-list(a)domainx.com list has 2 moderation requests waiting. The dummy-list(a)domainx.com list has 2 moderation requests waiting. Held Messages: Sender: user1(a)domain.com Subject: You missed a call | Transcription Available . Reason: The message is not from a list member Sender: user2(a)domain.com Subject: Update/Access Required Notice on Friday, September 29, 2023 Reason: The message is not from a list member Please attend to this at your earliest convenience. =================================================================

Again, after systemupgrade the log file in /var/log/mailman was owned by list:list instead of mailman:mailman and starting failed for this reason [support request]
by Wikinaut Dec. 28, 2023

Dec. 28, 2023

I made for a repeated time (after system update and/or system reboot) the experience,that my mailman3 installation fails to start because of permission error to write the log file. For some unknown reason, an empty file /var/og/mailman/mailman.log was apparently owned by list:list. I deleted that file and mailman3 core could now be started. The start problem i solved. I asked myself and you, how can this happen for many times? Has anyone an idea what the reason could be? There is still a user list from a previous mailman3 installation, where I assigned the (former user for mailman2), but I suppose the problem is a different problem than a simple user definition. The other log files are always correctly assigned to mailman:mailman <pre> -rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 7487 Dec 22 18:21 bounce.log 0 -rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 0 Oct 8 22:46 debug.log 4 -rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 1909 Dec 24 09:10 mailman.log 57448 -rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 58820418 Dec 24 09:00 mailman.log.1 108 -rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 108407 Oct 24 12:18 mailman.log.2.gz 0 -rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 0 Oct 8 22:46 plugins.log 232 -rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 229585 Dec 24 09:10 smtp.log 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 mailman mailman 4096 Oct 20 00:00 <font color="#729FCF"><b>web</b></font> </pre>

subscribing to a list from a WordPress site
by Johannes Rohr Dec. 25, 2023

Dec. 25, 2023

Dear all, is there a wordpress plugin/widget allowing visitors to subscribe to a mailman3 hosted mailing list? Else, what is the most convenient way? Sure, I could just link to the maiman site, but since joining a list is as easy as sending mail to LISTNAME-join, there should be a simple way to impement this. What is the best practice? Cheers, Johannes

Function "Mass subscription" does not allow any more the format `"Givenname Familyname" <mailaddress>`
by Wikinaut Dec. 22, 2023

Dec. 22, 2023

Wheras my older lists handled these format apparently correctly, I now cannot add any more "Givenname Familyname" <mailaddress> ; or Givenname Familyname <mailaddress> In any of these cases, only the part <mailaddress> is added. Is this strange behaviour know? What can be done to have the correct function back to working again?

django-allauth failures, but only for some users (independent of browser?)
by Jered Floyd Dec. 22, 2023

Dec. 22, 2023

Django-allauth seems to just be a basket of woes, but I figured I'd toss this one out there to see if anyone has seen similar: I have Google and Facebook social logins configured. They work fine for me. They work fine for most people. Huzzah! For some people, even when they use different browsers/OSes/etc, attempting a social login generates an error. On the callback, they get "Server error" "An error occurred while processing your request." These errors are generated to me as the admin, and in the elided environment section SITE_ID is indeed 0, but I'm at a loss to imagine why this happens only sometimes! Any pointers for investigation? --Jered Internal Server Error: /accounts/google/login/callback/ ImproperlyConfigured at /accounts/google/login/callback/ You're using the Django "sites framework" without having set the SITE_ID setting.

delete unverified accounts
by noemi Dec. 21, 2023

Dec. 21, 2023

Hi, I'm noticing that a lot of 'spammers' are registering themself via postorius. They do not send emails, neither they are in any list, so they are not technically spammers, but they are a lot [maybe around 500 subscribed in the last month]. While waiting for a captcha system[0] for the main distribution, I'm looking for a rapid/easy way to delete this accounts; since they are not 'verified', I was wondering if I can locate this information in the mailman3 database or if there is some easier way to delete all unverified accounts. Do some of you any help or indications? I'm using GNU Mailman 3.3.9 (Tom Sawyer). Thanks, noemi for pangea.org [ https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… ]

Is it possible to upgrade from Debian 11 to Debian 12 with Mailman3?
by Pierre Malard Dec. 20, 2023

Dec. 20, 2023

Hi, Is it possible to upgrade from Debian 11 to Debian 12 with Mailman3 installed on Debian 11? I specify that I want to stay in the Debian repositories, not a "hand" installation of MM3. I tested on a specific server. It was long and tedious but it seemed to me that it was working. In fact everything seems to work except the archive management :-( Here is the procedure followed: Stopping MM services Backup of the database (PostgreSQL) and the base MM directory Switch server from Debian 11 to Debian 12 and restart migrate the database from PG 113 to PG 15 (pg_upgradecluster 13 does this very well) Modify the file /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg with a URL reference "postgresql://" instead of "postgres://" (see https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/ mailman-users(a)mailman3.org/thread/CU6YU44V4WLRJI3WJH2VBWO2HCUF4YEA/) update MM3 databases with "mailman-web migrate" restart MM3 and MM3-web With that MM3 works but not the archiving management! Note that there are no real error messages in the logs… In fact when we go to a list archive, we have pretty waiting wheels... infinite :-( The only reference in mailman3-web.log: [pid: 1429|app: 0|req: 12/12] NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN () {68 vars in 1445 bytes} [Mon Dec 18 16:35:56 2023] GET /hyperkitty/list/admin@ teledetection.fr/ => generated 37443 bytes in 37 msecs (HTTP/1.1 200) 7 headers in 221 bytes (1 switches on core 1) If you have any solution...

Migrating mailman3 to latest ubuntu lts
by Helio Loureiro Dec. 19, 2023

Dec. 19, 2023

Hi, I'm trying to migrate several lists from an ubuntu 18.04, where it was installed via packages (mailman 3.1.1), to ubuntu 22.04. Since ubuntu 22.04 is broken in terms of packages for mailman3, I'm trying to install manually following the site instructions. I just dumped the mysql DB we have nowadays, mailman3 and mailman3-web, and loaded in the new server. I also copied the configurations and fixed the paths since now mailman3 lives on /local/mailman and it uses venv. I also copied /var/lib/mailman3 into /local/mailman/var/lib/mailman3. mailman seems to accept pretty much of the work done.

Spam sent to list owner causes bounce increment for list owner
by Allan Hansen Dec. 19, 2023

Dec. 19, 2023

Hi all, Someone sent a spam message to the list owner (me) of one of my lists. Then I got booted from the list. The scenario in more detail: The list server forwards the message to me, as I’m the list owner. This message is sent from <list>- <mailto:artists-bounces+hansen=rc.org@list.rc.org>bounces+hansen=rc.org(a)list.rc.org <mailto:bounces+hansen=rc.org@list.rc.org> to hansen(a)rc.org <mailto:hansen@rc.org>. My service provider’s spam filter rejects the spam (correctly) in a message and informs the list server. The list server sends a message to <list>- <mailto:artists-bounces+hansen=rc.org@list.rc.org>bounces+hansen=rc.org(a)list.rc.org <mailto:bounces+hansen=rc.org@list.rc.org> (the fake sender) saying that the message to hansen(a)rc.org <mailto:hansen@rc.org> (the recipient) could not be delivered because it was spam. The list server also blames hansen(a)rc.org <mailto:hansen@rc.org> (me) for the bounce and increments my bounce score, which, to me, is unfair. So I wonder: Is the Mailman host at list.rc.org <http://list.rc.org/> at fault for not catching the spam before it reaches the list server? (One could argue that) Is my rc.org <http://rc.org/> service provider at fault for sending the bounce message to the server instead of the to the original sender? Is Mailman at fault for thinking that the bounce message was caused by a list message FROM me, instead of a bounced message TO the list owner? Yours, Allan

MM3 Postfix FROM header issue
by eboltz＠lhtservices.com Dec. 18, 2023

Dec. 18, 2023

Installed MM3 on Debian 11, followed the steps from the MM3 website. I'm running into issues with Postfix headers. I can only get postfix to send emails to/from the list if I set the sender_canonical_maps in the main.cf file. I don't want to have to use that as I'd like the recipient to receive the following in their email header: <Subscriber> via <List Name> <FROM:LIST@DOMAIN>. But if I do the sender_canonical_maps, then the <FROM:LIST@DOMAIN> and all email headers are overwritten by the maps email address. When I check the /var/log/mail.log without the sender_canonical_maps setting enabled, then the initial email sender is either rejected because 'Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual alias table' or '550-From header sender domain not verified (example.com) 550-On your sending > Verified senders page 550 verify the sender domain or email to be allowed to send' I have smtp_sasl_passwd_maps disabled, since I'm trying a different SMTP relay Here is my main.cf setup # See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version # Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first # line of that file to be used as the name.
