User display name entry field input ignored
by Christian July 27, 2022

July 27, 2022

Whether I try and add users using mass subscribe, or individually, it seems the display name field entry is ignored. The default is then "none" for the user. Please advise. Thank you!

Shorted Subjects in Mailman
by Stephan Krinetzki July 27, 2022

July 27, 2022

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 July 27, 2022

July 27, 2022

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

by Mail Person July 26, 2022

I'm trying to move my mailman3 web interface from example.com/mailman3 to just lists.example.com like this site. I am not having luck with the apache configuration. I've tried below but I just get a 403: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin admin(a)example.com ServerName lists.example.com ServerAlias www.lists.example.com <Directory "/var/lib/mailman3/web/static"> Require all granted </Directory> <IfModule mod_proxy_uwsgi.c> ProxyPass /favicon.ico !

Apache Conf
by Guiseppin Thomas July 26, 2022

July 26, 2022

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.

List and Domain listing slow
by Patrik Peng July 25, 2022

July 25, 2022

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 July 22, 2022

July 22, 2022

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 July 19, 2022

July 19, 2022

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?

July 17, 2022

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?

Messages attached to probe messages
by Bjoern Franke July 15, 2022

July 15, 2022

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. An attached example for bouncing messages was: From: Mailman <mailman(a)example.com> To: Mailman Bounces <mailman-bounces(a)example.com> Subject: SMTP Delivery Failure Message-ID: <165577237837.35.8042057157021349872@mailman-core> Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2022 00:46:18 +0000 Message-ID-Hash: TOJ7WDT3TXWOEHZB4USRUOPZUW7BEATI X-Message-ID-Hash: TOJ7WDT3TXWOEHZB4USRUOPZUW7BEATI Mail to bjo(a)schafweide.org failed at outgoing SMTP Error code: 554 Error message: b'5.7.1 Spam message rejected' I took a look into the logs and found no example.com, but: Jun 21 00:46:14 2022 (33) ('172.20.199.1', 52074) handling connection Jun 21 00:46:14 2022 (33) ('172.20.199.1', 52074) >> b'LHLO mail.ffnw.de' Jun 21 00:46:14 2022 (33) ('172.20.199.1', 52074) >> b'MAIL FROM:<yzvotmm(a)forestanes.mom> SIZE=293338' Jun 21 00:46:14 2022 (33) ('172.20.199.1', 52074) sender: yzvotmm(a)forestanes.mom Jun 21 00:46:14 2022 (33) ('172.20.199.1', 52074) >> b'RCPT TO:<vorstand(a)lists.ffnw.de>' Jun 21 00:46:14 2022 (33) ('172.20.199.1', 52074) recip: vorstand(a)lists.ffnw.de Jun 21 00:46:14 2022 (33) ('172.20.199.1', 52074) >> b'DATA' Jun 21 00:46:14 2022 (33) ('172.20.199.1', 52074) >> b'QUIT' Jun 21 00:46:14 2022 (33) ('172.20.199.1', 52074) connection lost Jun 21 00:46:14 2022 (33) ('172.20.199.1', 52074) Connection lost during _handle_client() Jun 21 00:46:18 2022 (35) <H44657323H70760722Q60416802U@yzvotmm> response exception: (554, b'5.7.1 Spam message rejected') Jun 21 00:46:18 2022 (35) <H44657323H70760722Q60416802U@yzvotmm> response exception: (554, b'5.7.1 Spam message rejected') Jun 21 00:46:18 2022 (35) <H44657323H70760722Q60416802U@yzvotmm> smtp to vorstand(a)lists.ffnw.de for 6 recips, completed in 0.7157599925994873 seconds Jun 21 00:46:18 2022 (35) <H44657323H70760722Q60416802U@yzvotmm> post to vorstand(a)lists.ffnw.de from vorstand(a)lists.ffnw.de, 294362 bytes, 6 failures Jun 21 00:46:18 2022 (35) <H44657323H70760722Q60416802U@yzvotmm> delivery to foo(a)stadel.info failed with code 554, b'5.7.1 Spam message rejected' Jun 21 00:46:18 2022 (35) <H44657323H70760722Q60416802U@yzvotmm> delivery to abc(a)ffnw.de failed with code 554, b'5.7.1 Spam message rejected' Jun 21 00:46:18 2022 (35) <H44657323H70760722Q60416802U@yzvotmm> delivery to def(a)ffnw.de failed with code 554, b'5.7.1 Spam message rejected' Jun 21 00:46:18 2022 (35) <H44657323H70760722Q60416802U@yzvotmm> delivery to xyz(a)ffnw.de failed with code 554, b'5.7.1 Spam message rejected' Jun 21 00:46:18 2022 (35) <H44657323H70760722Q60416802U@yzvotmm> delivery to bjo(a)schafweide.org failed with code 554, b'5.7.1 Spam message rejected' Jun 21 00:46:18 2022 (35) <H44657323H70760722Q60416802U@yzvotmm> delivery to blabla(a)osnabrueck.freifunk.net failed with code 554, b'5.7.1 Spam message rejected' Jun 21 00:46:49 2022 (35) <165577240769.30.3077851374384466408@mailman-core> smtp to vorstand(a)lists.ffnw.de for 1 recips, completed in 0.5507137775421143 seconds

mailman 3.x upgrade and downgrade
by skooperit＠gmail.com July 12, 2022

July 12, 2022

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 July 12, 2022

July 12, 2022

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) July 12, 2022

July 12, 2022

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. Content-Type: image/png Name: firma-GHP-emails.png Replaced multipart/alternative part with first alternative.

Walk-thru for Ubuntu Bionic Mailman 3 Full setup
by kelly.close＠lrewater.com July 9, 2022

July 9, 2022

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 July 8, 2022

July 8, 2022

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 July 7, 2022

July 7, 2022

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?

Problem with database change sqlite -> mysql
by moritz both July 7, 2022

July 7, 2022

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. Moritz Here is the stacktrace: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/db/models/fields/related_descriptors.py", line 173, in __get__ rel_obj = self.field.get_cached_value(instance) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/db/models/fields/mixins.py", line 15, in get_cached_value return instance._state.fields_cache[cache_name] KeyError: 'starting_email' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 10, in <module> execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 419, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 413, in execute self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 354, in run_from_argv self.execute(*args, **cmd_options) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 398, in execute output = self.handle(*args, **options) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/management/commands/loaddata.py", line 78, in handle self.loaddata(fixture_labels) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/management/commands/loaddata.py", line 123, in loaddata self.load_label(fixture_label) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/management/commands/loaddata.py", line 190, in load_label obj.save(using=self.using) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/serializers/base.py", line 223, in save models.Model.save_base(self.object, using=using, raw=True, **kwargs) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/db/models/base.py", line 763, in save_base pre_save.send( File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/dispatch/dispatcher.py", line 180, in send return [ File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/dispatch/dispatcher.py", line 181, in <listcomp> (receiver, receiver(signal=self, sender=sender, **named)) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/hyperkitty/signals.py", line 96, in Thread_on_pre_save kwargs["instance"].on_pre_save() File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/hyperkitty/models/thread.py", line 157, in on_pre_save self.find_starting_email() File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/hyperkitty/models/thread.py", line 149, in find_starting_email if self.starting_email is not None: File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/db/models/fields/related_descriptors.py", line 187, in __get__ rel_obj = self.get_object(instance) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/db/models/fields/related_descriptors.py", line 307, in get_object return super().get_object(instance) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/db/models/fields/related_descriptors.py", line 154, in get_object return qs.get(self.field.get_reverse_related_filter(instance)) File "/home/daneben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/db/models/query.py", line 435, in get raise self.model.DoesNotExist( hyperkitty.models.email.DoesNotExist: Problem installing fixture '/home/daneben/mailman-suite/datadump.json': Email matching query does not exist.

mailman3 suddenly stopped working after routine package upgrade with "apt update" and "apt upgrade".
by gordon＠dickens.com July 5, 2022

July 5, 2022

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 July 4, 2022

July 4, 2022

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 July 2, 2022

July 2, 2022

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 June 29, 2022

June 29, 2022

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 June 29, 2022

June 29, 2022

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

Hello together, at startup of my docker-container with mailman 0.4.3 i got some warnings to apply some data-model-migrations.

Hi, attempting to install mailman3 on a remote ubuntu server - my docker-compose file looks like: https://gist.github.com/epifanio/e668b0b7f3709de8063661d947223e2a /opt/mailman/core/mailman-extra.cfg ``` [mta] incoming: mailman.mta.postfix.LMTP outgoing: mailman.mta.deliver.deliver lmtp_host: 127.0.1.1 lmtp_port: 8024 smtp_host: 127.0.1.1 smtp_port: 25 configuration: /etc/postfix-mailman.cfg ``` opt/mailman/web/settings_local.py ``` EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' EMAIL_HOST = '127.0.1.1' EMAIL_PORT = 25 USE_SSL = False DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = "mailman(a)lists.libkml.org" SERVER_EMAIL = "mailman(a)lists.libkml.org" DEBUG = True ALLOWED_HOSTS='libkml.org' ``` I know I am still missing the NGNIX/APACHE settings, but trying to access the service at: libkml.org:8000 I get a django error Invalid HTTP_HOST header: 'libkml.org:8000'. You may need to add 'libkml.org' to ALLOWED_HOSTS. but I have the 'libkml.org' to ALLOWED_HOSTS in both `opt/mailman/web/settings_local.py` and in the dockerfile: https://gist.github.com/epifanio/e668b0b7f3709de8063661d947223e2a#file-mail… https://gist.github.com/epifanio/e668b0b7f3709de8063661d947223e2a#file-mail… Can you help me please to understand what I am doing wrong?

What's the difference between (purpose of) reject and ignore
by denis.bitouze＠univ-littoral.fr June 27, 2022

June 27, 2022

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 June 24, 2022

June 24, 2022

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 June 23, 2022

June 23, 2022

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 June 14, 2022

June 14, 2022

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 June 11, 2022

June 11, 2022

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 June 9, 2022

June 9, 2022

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?

WebFrontend language not working

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 June 2, 2022

June 2, 2022

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 June 1, 2022

June 1, 2022

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?
