custom css?
by jamie＠mayfirst.org Nov. 9, 2025

Nov. 9, 2025

I've installed the mailman3, mailman3-full, mailman3-web, and python3-django-mailman3 packages on Debian trixie. Everything is working - thank you developers! However, I would like to modify how the web pages look (both postorius and hyperkitty). I noticed that the web interface on this server (lists.mailman3.org) looks much nicer than the one showing on my server. For one, on my installed instance, the left and right margins are not set, so content is flush with the edge of the screen. What is the easiest/most maintainable way to add my own css code and/or files to adjust how the web interface is displayed? Is that possible? Thank you! jamie

Cannot issue commands through email
by stonehold＠thedagora.social Nov. 9, 2025

Nov. 9, 2025

Greetings! I've recently deployed mailman3 for my community but have run into a snag -- none of the emails that issue commands (eg., list1-<join>@domain.com, list2-<unsubscribe>@domain.com, etc. etc.) are going through. They keep bouncing back with an undeliverable message. I can create lists and interact with them otherwise just fine. When I join from the web UI I can post and receive to that list. I've been able to troubleshoot the rest so far on my own, but this has me stymied, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! ~Ken

mailman-web Cleaning Up a Few Issues
by dap1＠bellsouth.net Nov. 6, 2025

Nov. 6, 2025

I seems to be having a problem with some cronjobs not running; I'm getting the following email errors/warnings: Subject: Cron <www-data@dap002> [ -f /usr/bin/django-admin ] && flock -n /var/run/mailman3-web/cron.minutely /usr/share/mailman3-web/manage.py runjobs minutely Body: flock: cannot open lock file /var/run/mailman3-web/cron.minutely: No such file or directory Obviously there is a path specified wrong but I can't find where that is. Subject: Cron <mailman@dap002> /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web runjobs minutely Body: System check identified some issues: WARNINGS: ?: settings.ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATION_METHOD is deprecated, use: settings.ACCOUNT_LOGIN_METHODS = {'username', 'email'} ?: settings.ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REQUIRED is deprecated, use: settings.ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_FIELDS = ['email*', 'username*', 'password1*', 'password2*'] Again I could probably fix these if I knew where to look.

"Something went wrong | Mailman REST API not available. Please restart Mailman core.
by Hirayama, Pat Oct. 31, 2025

Oct. 31, 2025

Greetings, Some of my lists have started displaying this behavior — when you try to access the list page(s), you get a page with this message: Something went wrong Mailman REST API not available. Please restart Mailman core. My mailman-core docker container is running, as are mailman-django-uwsgi, mailman-nginx and mailman-postfix. Restarting the containers doesn't change this behavior. Google suggests restarting mailman core. Or that we might not be using the correct account name, password or port. The weird thing is that it is not all lists. Most of them seem to be fine. Which suggests to me that the issue is with a few lists, but not systemwide, so I think my settings in mailman.cfg, settings.py, settings_local.py are likely correct. For the problem lists, I see this in the log: ERROR 2025-10-29 18:38:56,784 7 postorius Mailman REST API not available ERROR 2025-10-29 18:38:56,790 7 django.request Service Unavailable: /postorius/lists/obfuscated.name.lists.fhcrc.org/ ERROR 2025-10-29 18:38:56,790 7 django.request Service Unavailable: /postorius/lists/obfuscated.name.lists.fhcrc.org/ So, Postorius can't communicate with the API, I guess? I look at settings_local.py: MAILMAN_REST_API_URL = 'http://mailman-core:8001' I believe 8001 is the default, and since I haven't specified one in the [webservice] section of mailman.cfg, I'm assuming 8001 is correct (plus, it works for other lists). There are a few messages waiting for moderator approval — otherwise, I'd probably try just deleting the list and recreating it. Anyone have any suggestions on what else I should look at? Thanks! -p Pat Hirayama Pronouns: he/him/his Systems Engineer IT | Systems Engineering - Infrastructure Fred Hutch Cancer Center O 206.667.4856 phirayam(a)fredhutch.org<mailto:phirayam@fredhutch.org>

Mailman 3 MFA with django-allauth[mfa]
by Liam Reilly Oct. 29, 2025

Oct. 29, 2025

Has anyone successfully got MFA working in Mailman 3 with django-allauth[mfa]? I'm struggling to get it working with the limited documentation I could find. (https://docs.allauth.org/en/dev/mfa/index.html) If signed in as a user, I can browse to /accounts/2fa/ to activate MFA, but I was hoping to make it a mandatory part of the Sign Up process. Is there something that needs to be done with the URLs somewhere? This list site is an example of how I'd like it to work: https://mailing-lists.imperial.ac.uk/ Here is what I added to settings.py: #---------------------------------------- INSTALLED_APPS= ['hyperkitty', 'postorius', 'django_mailman3', 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.sites', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', 'django.contrib.humanize', 'rest_framework', 'django_gravatar', 'compressor', 'haystack', 'django_extensions', 'django_q', 'allauth', 'allauth.account', 'allauth.mfa', 'allauth.socialaccount'] # Specifies the adapter class to use, allowing you to alter certain default behaviour. MFA_ADAPTER = "allauth.mfa.adapter.DefaultMFAAdapter" # Used to override forms. Defaults to: MFA_FORMS = { 'authenticate': 'allauth.mfa.forms.AuthenticateForm', 'reauthenticate': 'allauth.mfa.forms.AuthenticateForm', 'activate_totp': 'allauth.mfa.forms.ActivateTOTPForm', 'deactivate_totp': 'allauth.mfa.forms.DeactivateTOTPForm', } MFA_RECOVERY_CODE_COUNT = 10 MFA_TOTP_PERIOD = 30 MFA_TOTP_DIGITS = 6 #---------------------------------------- Thanks.

Configuring Web Front End
by Dennis Putnam Oct. 21, 2025

Oct. 21, 2025

The next layer of the onion is configuring the web front end. Specifically setting up Django. The documentation seems to make a lot of assumptions about what I know about Django (which is nothing). I cannot find anything about what 'settings.py' should look like for mailman3. It is not even clear where it should go (/opt/mailman/var/etc?). The Django setup documentation is of no help for mailman3. Am I missing something in the wiki?

Unprocessed Bounce Mails from user with e-mailadresse with a "-" in it
by Wikinaut Oct. 14, 2025

Oct. 14, 2025

The recipient address abc-given.name(a)online.de (member of list mylist(a)myserver.de) has currently an out of office responder and mails are returning to my mailman3 system as unrecognized bounce messages. I suspect the "-" in his address to be in conflict with the bounce address hyphen: <mylist-bounces+abc-given.name=online.de(a)myserver.de> Can any of you experts try on their systems, whether this a bug of mailman3 due to the "-" in the address?

default processing
by Sam Darwin Oct. 13, 2025

Oct. 13, 2025

Notice the repeated use of the word "default" (which is a great word, by the way). This creates confusion: Default action to take when this member posts to the list. List default -- follow the list's default member action. Default Processing -- run additional checks and accept the message. Due to backwards compatibility it may be difficult to change. But if it could be modified, how about: Action to take when this member posts to the list. List default -- follow the list's default member action. Standard Processing -- run additional checks and accept the message. In other words, in the context of message acceptance, the word "default" should have a certain selected meaning. Then make extra effort to choose other words for other actions, as proposed here, "Standard Processing", or something similar.

REST API: create list: list styles
by Peter Knowles Oct. 7, 2025

Oct. 7, 2025

I've read that List Styles are essentially python plugins and/or hard coded into the source... Ugh. I was wondering, instead of hacking together some Python code, as I'm a humble PHP dev... Is it possible... 1. To pass all "style" values to the REST API upon creating a list "manually"? Essentially setting all the options on creation. 2. Where can I find a full list of options that can be set on a list, and their accepted values (boolean, string, etc) Thanks in advance!

Sendgrid experiences
by Andrew Hodgson Oct. 6, 2025

Oct. 6, 2025

Hi. I am temporarily using Sendgrid now on my Mailman instance. Initial observations have been positive. A list with 100 users is racking up email delivers though, I am on the basic paid account which gives me 50k emails per month. I was hoping to use a cheaper provider and pay overage costs per email on the assumption that I'm seeing a spike in traffic today because people have started getting the messages again. Sendgrid is maintaining the Message-Id header which is good for archiving. It is re-writing the Return-Path header though which means that bounce handling in Mailman won't work, but I think all the services do this in some way so I am happy to live with that for the moment. Hope this helps. Andrew.

Mailman3 equivalent of list_owners binary
by l.reilly＠ucl.ac.uk Oct. 3, 2025

Oct. 3, 2025

Hi, In our Mailman 2 environment we have a script that uses the binaries 'mailman/bin/list_owners' and 'mailman/bin/sync_members' to keep a list of owners up to date. This is handy for sending out service notifications to all list owners. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an exact equivalent in Mailman 3 for list_owners. I've tried using the command 'mailman members --role administrator LISTSPEC' whilst looping through each list from the output of 'mailman lists'. It almost does the job, but in cases where an owner has a display name set the sync fails as it cannot parse these lines. e.g. Cannot parse as valid email address (skipping): Smith, John <john.smith(a)example.com> I can probably try to clean the output of "mailman members" before doing 'mailman syncmembers'. I just wondered if anybody is doing something similar and has a better approach I'm missing? Thanks

Login confusion
by Markus Grandpré Oct. 2, 2025

Oct. 2, 2025

Dear list, We've encountered an issue with Postorius after migrating from Mailman 2.1. It appears that Postorius is treating email addresses with differing capitalization as distinct user accounts. For example, <markus.grandpre(a)uni-konstanz.de> and <Markus.Grandpre(a)uni-konstanz.de> are being recognized as separate identities. This is causing significant confusion. Users registered with one capitalization pattern are not seeing the list subscriptions and settings that were previously associated with their account (imported from Mailman v2.1) which used a different capitalization. Is there a known configuration option or method within Postorius (or Mailman 3 itself) to normalize or unify account identification, effectively treating email addresses as case-insensitive for account matching? We need a solution that ensures users see their correct list memberships regardless of the capitalization they use when logging in or that was used during the original Mailman 2.1 import. Thank you in advance Markus -- Markus Ludwig Grandpré Universität Konstanz Kommunikations-, Informations-, Medienzentrum (KIM) Abteilung IT-Dienste Forschung und Lehre, B803, Tel: ++49 7531 88 4342

Managing mailman3 via curl (using bash-scripts or perl-scripts)
by Christian Schneider Sept. 30, 2025

Sept. 30, 2025

Hello Mark, hello Stephen, sorry for bothering again...but the amount of documentation is overwhelming... Some info about my setup: I run mailman3 in an virtual environment with postgresql-Server (all in recent versions) - operating system Ubuntu 24.04-LTS. My aim is to provide one high-level script for the daily task of list creation. - list creation via command-line script with two/three parameters like: ./create-list --listname myfirst.list(a)lists.example.org --admin-email admin-user(a)example.org [--admin-name "Peter Rabbit"] The create-list script itself should be a bash- or perl-script (I am not very familiar with python - SORRY ;-) ) I would like the scripts to trigger some curl-calls on the mailman server (from outside the mailman shell and even from outside the virtual environment) Reading the RestAPI documentation here: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/rest/docs/… several questions arise: 1) Can I succeed with this plan? (Are curl-calls sufficient? Is it possible from outside the virtual environment?) 2) Is this a viable curl-call to create a user?: curl -X POST -u 'admin-user:<password>' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "email": "peter.rabbit(a)example.org", "display_name": "Peter Rabbit", "password": "secret" }' http://localhost:8001/3.1/users 3) and in a second step can I assign this user to a list as owner with a curl-call like this?: curl -X POST -u 'admin-user:<password>' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "list_id": "newsletter.lists.example.org", "subscriber": "peter.rabbit(a)example.org", "role": "owner" }' http://localhost:8001/3.1/members 4) What about the commits that are used while operating in mailman shell? (Do I have to trigger commits while operating via curl-calls? And how can I trigger commits via curl?) 5) In the unlikely event that I change from the dark side to the good side i.e. "python programming" ;-) is there a "to-the-point" reference for IListManager, IUserManager etc. giving available functions (with parameters) in a kind of list way? (the example kind of documentation referenced above is good, but where can I find a list of all functions?) 6) I think the starting point for managing lists with python is here: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/commands/d… right? 7) Going the python way will require to enter the virtual environment, right? (otherwise the libraries, environment variables etc. are not available...I think) Thank you for some guidance here... :-) Kind regards Chris

How well does DMARC mitigation work nowadays?
by tom＠tomsmyth.ca Sept. 28, 2025

Sept. 28, 2025

Specifically the kind where all list emails come from the the same address, with the sender in Reply-To? It seems like this /should/ be the way it works. Isn't that what Reply-To is for? Do some email clients still mess it up? If they do, wouldn't it make sense to just send them a bounce notice and tell them to clean up their act? Context: considering moving to a paid email service like Mailgun or Twilio and having random unverified email addresses in the From: header seems to be a nonstarter for them, which makes sense.

Postfix and Rspamd reject all Mailman messages after upgrading to Mailcow 2025-09b
by Jesper Holck Sept. 18, 2025

Sept. 18, 2025

Thanks for looking into this. I'm sorry to admit that I unfortunately mixed up two apparently unrelated issues. The first of these was some problem, where my mailman-installation was unable to send mails to some subscribers. The mails were rejected with SPOOFED_UNAUTH messages - I will not deal with this here. My installation is based on Debian 12 (Bookworm), with dockerized versions of Mailcow and Mailman 3 as described here: https://docs.mailcow.email/third_party/mailman3/third_party-mailman3/ The server is a VM, running on Proxmox. Mailcow and Mailman are on the same VM. It took a little time for me to setup things correctly, but mostly it seemed to work nicely. But a week ago it stopped working - I guess because I upgraded Mailcow to 2025-09b. The problem for me right now is that Rspamd rejects all messages, coming from Mailman. Postfix receives mails coming to the mailing lists, but when Mailman tries to forward the mails to the subscribers, Postfix/Rspamd block all of them. Postfix/Rspamd also block mails sent directly from Mailman, such as Welcome-messages - see an example below. In Mailcow, I have under "Options" added 172.19.199.1/24 as a "Forwarding Host" with no spam filter. I hoped this would make Rspamd happy, but apparently not. All messages, sent directly from Mailcow, pass various on-line tests of SSL, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, and are accepted by other servers (Gmail, Hotmail etc.). All web-interfaces to Mailcow and Mailman work fine. Messages to the various lists are archived, but not sent to the subscribers. Any help appreciated :-) Jesper Example of rspamd rejecting a welcome message from Mailman: HFILTER_HOSTNAME_UNKNOWN (8.5) DMARC_POLICY_QUARANTINE (8) [mydomain.dk : No valid SPF, No valid DKIM, quarantine] R_SPF_FAIL (8) [-all] HFILTER_HELO_BADIP (4.5) [172.19.199.4, 1] VIOLATED_DIRECT_SPF (3.5) FORGED_W_BAD_POLICY (3) RDNS_NONE (2) SUBJ_EXCESS_QP (1.2) MIME_BASE64_TEXT_BOGUS (1) MID_RHS_NOT_FQDN (0.5) MIME_BASE64_TEXT (0.1) RBL_SENDERSCORE_REPUT_9 (-1) [172.19.199.1:from] MAILLIST (-0.2) [mailman] MIME_GOOD (-0.1) [text/plain] HAS_LIST_UNSUB (-0.01) BAYES_HAM (-0.005474) [42.14%] BCC (0) FORGED_SENDER_MAILLIST (0) ARC_SIGNED (0) [mydomain.dk:s=dkim:i=1] TO_DOM_EQ_FROM_DOM (0) FORGED_SENDER (0) [mylist-request(a)mydomain.dk, mylist-bounces(a)mydomain.dk] RCPT_COUNT_ONE (0) [1] FROM_NEQ_ENVFROM (0) [mylist-request(a)mydomain.dk, mylist-bounces(a)mydomain.dk] MISSING_XM_UA (0) R_DKIM_NA (0) FROM_NO_DN (0) ARC_NA (0) TO_DN_ALL (0) RCVD_COUNT_ZERO (0) [0] TO_MATCH_ENVRCPT_ALL (0) MIME_TRACE (0) [0:+] PRECEDENCE_BULK (0) I don't know how to see the exact contains, including headers, of this message, unfortunately.

We also need to know more about the configuration of your network (including VMs and containers), and where you're sending mail from. If you are going to substitute IP addresses, I recommend you do that consistently, and with a convention that it makes is easy to identify the public Internet (I use 10/8 addresses for this), your internal network (I use 172.16/12), and the Mailman host(s) (I use 192.168/16 addresses -- these are all just suggestions, and I've never had a problem ignoring the effect of netmasks on routing).[1] I'm going to reorder the list for clarity. > HFILTER_HOSTNAME_UNKNOWN (8.5) > HFILTER_HELO_BADIP (4.5) [172.19.199.3, 1] > RDNS_NONE (2) I guess "HFILTER" refers to the HELO command sent by Mailman to mailcow. "host 172.19.199.3" is a private IP address, so I suspect you are using Docker with multiple containers (different hosts as far as the mail software is concerned). I suspect you need to set up or reconfigure an internal DNS, or configure some kind of host list in Mailcow, to clear this. IIRC rspamd defaults to "reject on >= 15" so if RDNS is part of this group (I'm just guessing), this message is already rejected. > DMARC_POLICY_QUARANTINE (8) [mydomain.dk : No valid SPF, quarantine] Apparently you have p=quarantine for mydomain.dk.

Is that your personal email provider where you send test messages? > VIOLATED_DIRECT_SPF (3.5) > FORGED_W_BAD_POLICY (3) Not sure what these mean, but the numbers are too big to ignore.

HSTS Missing from HTTPS Server
by jkoral＠luc.edu Sept. 17, 2025

Sept. 17, 2025

In my configuration, I am using Apache to reverse proxy the requests to a uwsgi. After our security office scanned the server, it was shown that HSTS is missing from the HTTPS server. The instructions say to add some lines to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/. The only file in there is 000-default.conf that holds the configuration, but the VirtualHost is port 80. I am using an F5 to to automatically redirect port 80 to port 443, but it is still showing this vulnerability. My question is, how can enable the Virtual Host for 443 on the server? Or can that configuration be located somewhere else? Or can I just create a new Virtual Host with the added configuration for mailman? Thanks, Joe Koral

Postgres upgrade from 13 to 16?
by Dave McGuire Sept. 14, 2025

Sept. 14, 2025

Hi folks, we're running a decent-sized MM3 server backed by a Postgres database server that is also used by a number of other applications. It's currently running Postgres 13, and we are looking at upgrading to 16. Can anyone tell me what the implications of such an upgrade be in the context of Mailman3? Any gotchas? Thanks, -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Issues sending to gmail and yahoo e-mails
by jkoral＠luc.edu Sept. 12, 2025

Sept. 12, 2025

Has anyone experienced recent issues with Mailman3 not being able to send to gmail and yahoo e-mail addresses. I am trying to figure out if Google has our server blocked or not. When I send a manual e-mail from the server, the my yahoo e-mail gets delivered, but the gmail one does not. Here is the message I get in the logs when trying to send to the gmail address from the command line, but I do not get anything when it tries to send from Mailman. 2025-09-09T18:57:09.344493-05:00 lstprdls01 postfix/smtp[3544622]: BE67F1C09AF: to=<jmjk(a)gmail.com>, relay=gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[173.194.194.26]:25, delay=0.55, delays=0.01/0/0.27/0.27, dsn=5.7.26, status=bounced (host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[173.194.194.26] said: 550-5.7.26 Your email has been blocked because the sender is unauthenticated. 550-5.7.26 Gmail requires all senders to authenticate with either SPF or DKIM. 550-5.7.26 550-5.7.26 Authentication results: 550-5.7.26 DKIM = did not pass 550-5.7.26 SPF [lstprdls01.xxx.xxx.edu] with ip: [xxx.xxx.10.33] = did not pass 550-5.7.26 550-5.7.26 For instructions on setting up authentication, go to 550 5.7.26 https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126#authentication 8926c6da1cb9f-50d8f268ab7si36484097173.142 - gsmtp (in reply to end of DATA command)) I added DMARC mitigation to this list with "Replace From: with list address" and "DMARC Mitigate unconditinally - Yes" The DMARC Address I have in there is ^.*(a)gmail\.com$ Do I have to do anything else?

Hyperkitty Text/Markdown/HTML
by Sam Darwin Sept. 11, 2025

Sept. 11, 2025

How about a feature to include "HTML" in the current Hyperkitty choices of (Text or Markdown) rendering? A sanitizer must be used to prevent malicious attacks. https://github.com/messense/nh3 . lxml is another package that processes html. A sanitizer would be helpful for more aspects. Permit a limited set of markdown so that messages still appear professional. Gitlab/Github don't allow arbitrary fonts or font sizes, right? Mostly remove these tags. A way that code blocks could be presented: determine an established list of known codeblock styles. Configure the sanitizer to permit this range of fonts or styling elements. By allowing them through the filter, a code styling is rendered. (It is permitted/allowed to be rendered.) Even better, when the sanitizer recognizes the fonts, it replaces them with an "official" set of codeblock fonts. Otherwise, if other font tags are entirely removed, if they are missing, the email client or web ui will decide the font selection, and it will appear "standard". In order for both email clients and Hyperkitty to view the same result, the sanitizer should ideally be applied to outgoing emails as well as rendering in the UI. That means this feature would affect more than just Hyperkitty. (i.e. mailman-core). Although, that could be implemented as a separate step, until which time emails would get a full range of HTML, without sanitizing. In this scheme, ensure outgoing emails are multi-part MIME with plain text and html versions. Some of our users are really in favor of more formatting. Others prefer plain text. Those who prefer plain text have various arguments that HTML messages will be rendered badly, and won't be legible. Questions: 1. Would "multi-part MIME with plain text and html versions both" solve the problem for users who prefer plain text? 2. What percentage of email clients that support HTML formatting when sending will also include a plain text rendering of the same content in the outgoing message? 3. Is it usually the responsibility of a receiving mail client to be able to convert HTML to plain text if the user requests it? 4. When mailman-core receives and then sends out a message, can it receive HTML, generate a plain-text version, and then send both? Thoughts?

After moving to a another server, mail footer shows only text "Cache content lost". I moved the two databases (mailman3, mailmanweb) to another server, but now my Mailinglist shows this in the footer, uh, what did I forget to move?

In case you need this, I do. Of course, the shown preferences need to be adapted according to your needs. def reset_bounce_scores(): # reset bounce scores and setting certain standard member preferences to all members in all mailinglists # 20250910 from zope.component import getUtility from mailman.interfaces.listmanager import IListManager from mailman.interfaces.member import DeliveryMode, DeliveryStatus RED = "\033[31m\033[1m" X = "\033[0m" hide_address = False delivery_status = DeliveryStatus.enabled lm = getUtility(IListManager) for mlist in lm.mailing_lists: # print(f"... checking bounce status and setting standard preferences of members in {mlist.fqdn_listname}") print(f"... resetting bounce status of members in {mlist.fqdn_listname}") for member in mlist.members.members: prefs = member.preferences prefs.acknowledge_posts = True prefs.hide_address = hide_address # prefs.preferred_language = 'de' prefs.receive_list_copy = True prefs.receive_own_postings = True prefs.delivery_mode = DeliveryMode.regular prefs.delivery_status = delivery_status bs = member.bounce_score if bs > 0: print(f"reset bounce score of: {member.address.email} {mlist.fqdn_listname} {RED}{bs}{X}") member.bounce_score = 0
