Hi, I just installed mailman3-web on my Ubuntu 20.04 LTS web server.

However, I cannot access the web interface, trying, e.g. http://meteomex.com:8001/mailman3/ 'http://meteomex.com/mailman3 'http://meteomex.com:8001 anything I am missing? E.g. concerning the Apache config? Thanks, Robert

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?

Include receipant address as a variable
by chucka＠blackforest-co.com June 7, 2022

June 7, 2022

I send out a monthly newsletter via MM. To keep traffic smaller the email has a link to the PDF of the newsletter. I need to somehow include a variable (the To: email) as part of the link. ie href = thewebsite/nl.pdf?tomjones(a)email.com That way I can tell A) who is reading the NL and B) popup a notice: Your membership dues have been paid through 2023. Google hasn't been any help - although I'll keep searching. Thanks for any help

WebFrontend language not working
by c.buhtz＠posteo.jp June 6, 2022

June 6, 2022

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?

Moderation request email from a non existing user
by David Lopez June 1, 2022

June 1, 2022

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

Trouble in Debian11 after import mailman2 archive
by qro＠xs4all.nl May 25, 2022

May 25, 2022

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

How to authorise members visibility?
by Pierre Malard May 25, 2022

May 25, 2022

Hello, My setup: - Debian 11 - Mailman3-full v 3.3.3-1 My Question: How to configure the visibility of a list of subscribers to a list? I created a list and set "subscriber visibility" to subscribers only. When I log in as such and try to view the list information, I can't see anywhere how to display that list. It's the same regardless of the setting used for this "subscriber visibility" field (only moderators, only subscribers or anyone). Is this normal? Is there something I misunderstood?

Importing users and mas settings "Moderation Action"
by bob B May 20, 2022

May 20, 2022

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

Can login at /admin, but cannot login at the account/login page.
by pabsta＠gmail.com May 11, 2022

May 11, 2022

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

How can I remove anything added by Mailman 3 to the forwarded email
by gscaglia＠ksdata.it May 9, 2022

May 9, 2022

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

Pb with archive display

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

Spam in Hyperkitty archive
by Eggert Ehmke May 4, 2022

May 4, 2022

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

add custom styles to postorius list creation menu
by Michael Hazan May 3, 2022

May 3, 2022

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

Templates do not work
by Eggert Ehmke May 3, 2022

May 3, 2022

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

Localization of auto-responses, question marks in welcome message
by Claus-Justus Heine April 25, 2022

April 25, 2022

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

Problems with shunted Mails
by Stephan Krinetzki April 25, 2022

Hi all, we currently have a problem sending to an email list. The mailing list is an announcement list and is therefore moderated. The mail also arrives for moderation. However, when the mail is released, it is not delivered, but moved to the shunt queue.

set a new default for max_message_size
by Paul Paulchen April 24, 2022

April 24, 2022

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

How to delete large numbers of held messages
by lists＠g1fef.co.uk April 22, 2022

April 22, 2022

We had a mail loop on one of our lists and ended up with over 51k messages in pending (held due to post not form a list member) Trying to delete them from the web UI will take forever, as the largest pagination you can view is 200 at a time. Tried to delete them from the Python interactive shell, but it looks like the API times out after a while. Is there another way to delete all these unwanted held posts? The problem comes after executing: <block> reqs = list(adminlist.held) </block> After a couple of minutes it comes back with: <block> Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 699, in urlopen httplib_response = self._make_request( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 445, in _make_request six.raise_from(e, None) File "<string>", line 3, in raise_from File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 440, in _make_request httplib_response = conn.getresponse() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/http/client.py", line 1347, in getresponse response.begin() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/http/client.py", line 307, in begin version, status, reason = self._read_status() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/http/client.py", line 276, in _read_status raise RemoteDisconnected("Remote end closed connection without" http.client.RemoteDisconnected: Remote end closed connection without response During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/adapters.py", line 439, in send resp = conn.urlopen( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 755, in urlopen retries = retries.increment( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/util/retry.py", line 532, in increment raise six.reraise(type(error), error, _stacktrace) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/six.py", line 718, in reraise raise value.with_traceback(tb) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 699, in urlopen httplib_response = self._make_request( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 445, in _make_request six.raise_from(e, None) File "<string>", line 3, in raise_from File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 440, in _make_request httplib_response = conn.getresponse() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/http/client.py", line 1347, in getresponse response.begin() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/http/client.py", line 307, in begin version, status, reason = self._read_status() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/http/client.py", line 276, in _read_status raise RemoteDisconnected("Remote end closed connection without" urllib3.exceptions.ProtocolError: ('Connection aborted.', RemoteDisconnected('Remote end closed connection without response')) During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/connection.py", line 107, in call response = request( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/api.py", line 61, in request return session.request(method=method, url=url, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 542, in request resp = self.send(prep, **send_kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 655, in send r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/adapters.py", line 498, in send raise ConnectionError(err, request=request) requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', RemoteDisconnected('Remote end closed connection without response')) During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailmanclient/restobjects/mailinglist.py", line 123, in held response, content = self._connection.call( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/connection.py", line 135, in call raise MailmanConnectionError( mailmanclient.restbase.connection.MailmanConnectionError: ('Could not connect to Mailman API: ', "ConnectionError(ProtocolError('Connection aborted.', RemoteDisconnected('Remote end closed connection without response')))") </block>

Apple Mail encoding again
by David Newman April 22, 2022

April 22, 2022

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

About mailing list configuration problem
by liutianhua68＠163.com April 20, 2022

April 20, 2022

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

Prometheus mailman_exporter
by Ruth Ivimey-Cook April 19, 2022

April 19, 2022

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

MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_KEY - 401 error
by Torsten R. April 14, 2022

April 14, 2022

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

Lessons learned and a couple little gotcha for newbies
by William Oliver April 13, 2022

April 13, 2022

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

template head/footer questions.
by bob B April 11, 2022

April 11, 2022

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

out queue backlog and delivery rate
by dancab＠caltech.edu April 11, 2022

April 11, 2022

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

Looking for equivalent functions from mailman2
by Julian Kippels April 6, 2022

April 6, 2022

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

Active archivers and archiving and thread question.
by bob B March 31, 2022

March 31, 2022

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