Problems with hyperkitty
by Lucia Moreno July 15, 2021

July 15, 2021

Dear mailman support, We have an issue with hyperkitty. In the last month the space used by hyperkitty_email postgres table has increased from 54GB to 400GB and it is constantly increasing with no end. Is there any simple way of knowing what is taking so much space? Like for example display how much archiving space (or achived emails) is used by each mailing list? Looks like a mailing list has gone crazy but from the logs everything looks fine. Any help is very much appreciated. THanks a lot for your precious help!!

[MM3-users]Is it possible to grant all users the ability to Create List
by Carrie Knox July 13, 2021

July 13, 2021

Hello, Our company is evaluating mailman3 as an option for company internal list serving. One of the requirements is that anyone with access to the list server be allowed to create and manage lists. Is this possible? If so, how? Is there a "create list" role that can be added for all registered users? Thanks

accept mails from several Users, not list members beside members, howto
by Lars Schimmer July 13, 2021

July 13, 2021

Hi I do look out for a method to accept mails from list members and a number of 20-30 Email addresses (not list members) to a mailing list. All others should be denied to post to the list. I can add those as non-members, but AFAIK I cannot define a special rule for them in "message acceptance". Under "message acceptance" the line "non-members" is set to deny, but if I set it to "default procesessing" - will it allow ALL email addresses, or just the group of "non-member" users? Thank you.

cache files?
by Dave McGuire July 13, 2021

July 13, 2021

Hi folks. I'm seeing quite a few .css files, thousands of them totaling 600+MB, building up in /var/lib/mailman3/web/static/CACHE/css. Some of them date back to when I set up the mm3 instance a few years ago. Is this expected, or am I missing a cron job or something to clean them up? Thanks, -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Trying basic install of mailman3 in docker, but how do you set allowed hosts?
by bob B July 12, 2021

July 12, 2021

I am starting small, My goal is just to get mailman3 running in docker and test the website access via curl from the host, then I will move on from there In the docker instructions it says SERVE_FROM_DOMAIN: The domain name from which Django will be served. To be added to ALLOWED_HOSTS in django settings. Default value is not set. This also replaces Django's default example.com SITE and becomes the default SITE (with SITE_ID=1). But where do I set the ALLOWED_HOSTS I added this to the yaml file - ALLOWED_HOSTS=127.0.0.1 under environments mailman-web: image: maxking/mailman-web:0.3 container_name: mailman-web hostname: mailman-web depends_on: - database links: - mailman-core:mailman-core - database:database volumes: - /opt/mailman/web:/opt/mailman-web-data environment: - UWSGI_STATIC_MAP=/static=/opt/mailman-web-data/static - ALLOWED_HOSTS=127.0.0.1 - DATABASE_TYPE=postgres - DATABASE_URL=postgres://mailman:mailmanpass@database/mailmandb - SECRET_KEY=333blah-blah-secret - HYPERKITTY_API_KEY=333someapikey ports: - "127.0.0.1:8000:8000" # HTTP - "127.0.0.1:8080:8080" # uwsgi networks: mailman: But when I try: [docker-mailman]# curl 127.0.0.1:8000 <h1>Bad Request (400)</h1>[root@bmimailmandr1 docker-mailman]# [root@bmimailmandr1 docker-mailman]# I see this in the logs [docker-mailman]# cat /opt/mailman/web/logs/mailmanweb.log WARNING 2021-07-08 17:40:46,979 1642 django.request Bad Request: / ERROR 2021-07-08 19:20:58,416 1641 django.security.DisallowedHost Invalid HTTP_HOST header: '127.0.0.1:8000'.

List rename
by Joel Lord July 7, 2021

July 7, 2021

I'm in an odd situation where I need to rename a bunch of lists. They were all created on mailman2 originally and migrated to mailman3 (very successfully, TYVM) but the names were all originally discuss-<foo>@domain and it's very confusing to be sure you're always sending to the correct <foo>. We want to completely rename the lists to <foo>-discuss@domain. These lists do not keep archives, so if I have to resort to extracting the subscriber lists and the configs and building new lists, I'm completely fine with that. Problem is, I'm really used to MM2 and config_list and could do this without thinking using those tools... that I don't have. Running MM3 3.2.2 trying to make this happen. Any assistance I could get will be greatly appreciated. THANKS! -- Joel Lord Web Administrator, Alpha Psi Omega Grand Cast etc... etc... etc...

Help with some 'withlist' configuration changes
by David Partain June 23, 2021

Hi, Firstly, a repeat that I have a relatively broken (and soon to be fixed, I hope) installation of mailman3 based on Ubuntu 18.04 distrib packages (3.1.1-9) that stumbles along by me dealing with a bunch of things by hand that I hope'll go away once I'm up to the current version. In this set-up, I get a fair number of items shunted. Since I have this wonky version where stuff isn't always exposed in the web interface, I have to fix these things by hand. An example is that something gets shunted because of too many recipients, where I do: sudo -u list mailman withlist somemailmanlist m.max_num_recipients = 0 commit() sudo -u list mailman unshunt I've managed to find a number of these, such as m.max_message_size, m.require_explicit_destination, and m.administrivia. My questions are undoubtedly foolish, but here goes: 1. Is there any way to print the entire 'm' structure? If so, I'd perhaps be able to figure out the answers to my other questions. 2. Is there a way for me to correct the following shunt-ing issues with 'withlist'? I've been unable to figure out how... a. 'moderation_reasons': [ 'Message has no subject'] / 'rule_hits': ['no-subject'] b. Some things get caught as 'rule_hits': ['nonmember-moderation']. However, if I look in the (web-based) config, it shows that non-members should be accepted but the messages are shunted nonetheless. I don't know what to look for in 'm' or how I might clear these messages. 3. I have no idea what these are telling me to do about digest messages. Suggestions? This is the entire info I get from 'mailman qfile': ------------------------------------------------------snip snip---------------------------------------------- [----- start pickle -----] <----- start object 1 -----> <----- start object 2 -----> { '_parsemsg': False, 'digest_number': 457, 'digest_path': '/var/lib/mailman3/lists/somelist/digest.31.457.mmdf', 'lang': 'en', 'listid': 'somelistid', 'version': 3, 'volume': 31, 'whichq': 'digest'} [----- end pickle -----] ------------------------------------------------------snip snip---------------------------------------------- 4. I have some that have 'rule_hits': [] (it's empty) but are shunted nonetheless. I can't see anything weird other than one of the messages has a utf-8 subject. Any ideas? 5. Some messages that were sent to -request addresses (e.g., subscribe messages, confirm, approve messages) are being shunted. What should I do with these? Thanks for your patience. Cheers, David

Mailman3 service on mailman-3.3.4 is not getting started
by Shashikanth Komandoor June 23, 2021

June 23, 2021

Hi team, I am trying to install mailman 3.3.4, the currently available latest version at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html on RHEL 7.5. As part of the installation, I am not creating any user with the name *mailman* and instead going with the *root* user only. Along with that I am using the directory */var/lib/mailman* as the root directory. Also, I have rsyslog service running on my machine and using postgresql-11 as the database service. My mailman3 service looks like this: # cat /etc/systemd/system/mailman3.service [Unit] Description=GNU Mailing List Manager After=rsyslog.target network.target postgresql-11.service [Service] Type=forking PIDFile=/var/lib/mailman/var/master.pid User=root Group=root ExecStart=/var/lib/mailman/venv/bin/mailman start ExecReload=/var/lib/mailman/venv/bin/mailman restart ExecStop=/var/lib/mailman/venv/bin/mailman stop [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Now, the issue is while I am trying to start the service, it is showing the below error and the status looks like as following: # systemctl start mailman3 Job for mailman3.service failed because a configured resource limit was exceeded. See "systemctl status mailman3.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. # systemctl status mailman3 ● mailman3.service - GNU Mailing List Manager Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/mailman3.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: resources) since Wed 2021-06-23 12:51:27 IST; 1min 7s ago Process: 16277 ExecStart=/var/lib/mailman/venv/bin/mailman start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Jun 23 12:51:27 psumm3.nic.in mailman[16277]: os.execl(*execl_args) Jun 23 12:51:27 psumm3.nic.in mailman[16277]: File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/os.py", line 527, in execl Jun 23 12:51:27 psumm3.nic.in mailman[16277]: execv(file, args) Jun 23 12:51:27 psumm3.nic.in mailman[16277]: TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType Jun 23 12:51:27 psumm3.nic.in mailman[16277]: Starting Mailman's master runner Jun 23 12:51:27 psumm3.nic.in mailman[16277]: Generating MTA alias maps Jun 23 12:51:27 psumm3.nic.in systemd[1]: PID file /var/lib/mailman/var/master.pid not readable (yet?) after start.

(and tried chown -R for the /opt/mailman folder already since everything there should be owned by mailman anyway)

integrate subscribe form in Website -> CSRF-token
by Jens Günther June 22, 2021

June 22, 2021

Hello, we wanted to integrate a subscribe-form in our website after Update from Mailman2 to Mailman3. Before it was quiet easy and supposedly still is, but we can't figure out what to do with the CSRF-token-problem. Is there anywhere a documentation on this? We can't find one. If not, I would like to post more on what we tried with the html-code and what is coming up afterwards. (forbidden 403 - CSRF-verification failed. Request aborted.) Thanks in advance! Jens.

How to identify the exact reason behind the shunting of the mails ?
by Shashikanth Komandoor June 20, 2021

June 20, 2021

Hi Team, I am currently running Mailman 3 with version 3.3.1 and in-built postfix version 2.10.1-6 on RHEL 7.5 with PostgreSQL 11.7 version with default values. I am almost running 2000 lists with 128 GB RAM and 24 Cores on a single VM and on which all the mailman 3 components are running. I have been running this setup in production for the past 2 years and 6 months. From the beginning of the above setup until recent days, I observed a few mails moving to the shunt queue now and then. But from recent days it is observed that many mails are moving to the shunt queue. I browsed many websites but I could not get a proper resolution for identifying the exact reason behind the shunting of the mails. Because of which I had been asking the user to resend the mails instead of suggesting the user regarding the issue properly. I in fact used the command "mailman qfile <filename.pck>" even then I don't understand what might be wrong with the mail composition. Most of the time I see *unknown-8bit* in To or CC fields and I don't know if it is linked with the reason for shunting or not and I don't get any clue from it either. Is there any chance to find out the reason for shunting of the mails through any means ? -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'settings'
by Michela June 18, 2021

June 18, 2021

Hello! I've just set up Mailman 3 with Hyperkitty and Postorius in venv via pip by using the guide at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#virtualenv-inst… on Oracle Linux 8.3 with Python 3.6.8. The process seemed to go smoothly and without errors. The log file, /opt/mailman/web/logs/uwsgi-error.log, contains the following stack trace, however. Note the bit toward the bottom: "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'settings'" Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 224, in fetch_command app_name = commands[subcommand] KeyError: 'qcluster' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web", line 8, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/mailman_web/manage.py", line 30, in main execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 401, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 395, in execute self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 231, in fetch_command settings.INSTALLED_APPS File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 76, in __getattr__ self._setup(name) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 63, in _setup self._wrapped = Settings(settings_module) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 142, in __init__ mod = importlib.import_module(self.SETTINGS_MODULE) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/importlib/__init__.py", line 126, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 994, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 971, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 953, in _find_and_load_unlocked ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'settings' [uwsgi-daemons] throttling "/opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web qcluster" for 245 seconds [uwsgi-daemons] respawning "/opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web qcluster" (uid: 1002 gid: 1002) Mailman and mailman-web do start without errors when I run them via their systemd unit files and Postorius serves up pages (without styles and such, which I'll fix later). SELinux is disabled, at least while I work through this issue. I've gone over the configuration files, and everything appears to be in order as written in the installation instructions, but that's likely not the case. :) My configuration files outside of the Mailman virtual environment are in /etc/mailman/: (venv) [mailman@host ~]$ ls /etc/mailman3/ mailman.cfg __pycache__ settings.py uwsgi.ini When searching the web about this, I only found one result, on this very list, but it didn't have quite enough information for me to solve my issue. It might also not quite be the same problem: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… Might you be able to point me in the right direction on solving this issue? Please tell me if there is any more information I can provide to that end. Best, Michela

June 18, 2021

Hello Mailman team! I have been using Mailman-Suite (Hyperkitty + Postorius) quite a long time now and now i was wondering if there is any way to erase or export old archived messages and back them up elsewhere (for example messages, that are older then 1 year). Didnt find any suitable option under "python3 manage.py" command and also didnt find any up to date post which related to mailman3 and python3. Additional info: *Database: Postgresql13 *Mailman version: 3.3.4 *Python version: 3.6 Br, Dim

Mailman archive issues (Hyperkitty)
by klillipuu＠gmail.com June 16, 2021

June 16, 2021

Hello All! I hope its a right place to write my concern about Mailman Hyperkitty. I have same quite odd issues lately and since I'm less experienced with Mailman, any help is welcome. So i have like hybrid version pip installation, where mailman v3 is using python3 and hyperkitty is using python2 (if im correct). I also mention, that hyperkitty is a pretty old version - 1.1.4. The main issue is that if i try to open some large-scale archived list, then i get "504 Gateway Time-out" error on webUI. Any ideas, where could i start improving the situation - should i try to upgrade some packages or do i need to give more resources to host ? Extra information: * I have also noticed some memory violation issues which has caused by uwsgi. * Segfaulting process - kernel: python[25870]: segfault at 24 ip 00007f9decb9a6ea sp 00007ffc413bb3d0 error 6 in libpython2.7.so.1.0[7f9decb10000+17e000] Output from mailman.log: HyperKitty failure on http://localhost/hyperkitty/api/mailman/archive: <html> <head><title>504 Gateway Time-out</title></head> <body> <center><h1>504 Gateway Time-out</h1></center> <hr><center>nginx/1.16.1</center> </body> </html> (504) Exception in the HyperKitty archiver: <html> <head><title>504 Gateway Time-out</title></head> <body> <center><h1>504 Gateway Time-out</h1></center> <hr><center>nginx/1.16.1</center> </body> </html> (1808) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/mailman_hyperkitty/__init__.py", line 154, in _archive_message url = self._send_message(mlist, msg) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/mailman_hyperkitty/__init__.py", line 210, in _send_message raise ValueError(result.text) ValueError: <html> <head><title>504 Gateway Time-out</title></head> <body> <center><h1>504 Gateway Time-out</h1></center> <hr><center>nginx/1.16.1</center> </body> </html>

#mailman irc channel moving to libera.chat
by Abhilash Raj June 15, 2021

June 15, 2021

Hey Everyone, As some of you might already know that Freenode IRC server now has new owners and most of the volunteer staff have decided to move away from it to create a new IRC server libera.chat[1] due to the policies of the new owners. Along with many other open source projects, we have also decided to move away from freenode to use libera.chat instead. We have registered #mailman there and will be using that as primary IRC channel for Mailman things. Freenode has also decided to drop all registrations, so, #mailman channel there is no longer registered to any member of Mailman Core team as of some time earlier today (Tue June 15th). [1]: https://libera.chat/ -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

OS update 18.04 -> 20.04 with Python 3.6 -> 3.8
by Torge Riedel June 6, 2021

June 6, 2021

Hi, just want to report that updating my server's OS from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 including an upgrade from Python 3.6 to 3.8 worked 75% on the mailman3 installation. Stopping and disabling the service before prevented most of the problems, but I forget to disable the cron jobs. **sigh** So whenever you have to upgrade your OS including python, don't forget the cron jobs. After OS upgrade I renamed both "venv" directories and rebuild them from my notes. Worked. Starting up mailman-core was easy. Getting mailman-web back to work was a little tricky: 1. After rebuild I forgot to run the post-update script, overseen that in my notes. **sigh #2** 2. My uwsgi-emperor was totally confused and needed some guidance and manual remove of .sock file 3. Finally I got this in the logs: /opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django_q/conf.py:139: UserWarning: Retry and timeout are misconfigured. Set retry larger than timeout, failure to do so will cause the tasks to be retriggered before completion. Seehttps://django-q.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configure.html#retry for details. warn( I checked the reference file from here: |https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-suite/raw/master/mailman-suite_project/settings.py?inline=false| and it misses the "retry" value. After adding it to Q_CLUSTER everything works fine. Kind regards Torge

Long-shot cry for help
by David Partain June 3, 2021

June 3, 2021

Hi, I'm having severe operational issues with my mailman3 site. My site is built on standard Ubuntu packages (18.04), and they're ancient. I'm having two big issues... 1. I have the old smiley problem that I've had from the very beginning and never solved. I have added 'charset': 'utf8mb4' to the relevant config file (/etc/mailman3/mailman-web.py), but that hasn't "taken", in the sense that the calls to mysql do not include the charset stuff. /usr/share/mailman3-web/settings_local.py links to /etc/mailman3/mailman-web.py and there is no file /usr/share/mailman3-web/settings_local.pyc. I moved it out of the way hoping it'd get re-built, but it has not been in the months since. The result of this that I get hundreds of mail messages to root (thousands, really), rapidly filling / with mail in /var/mail/root and logging in /var/log/mail.log. The mail has something like "Subject: [Django] ERROR (EXTERNAL IP): Internal Server Error: /mailman3/hyperkitty/api/mailman/archive" and "DataError at /hyperkitty/api/mailman/archive (1366, u"Incorrect string value: '\\xF0\\x9F\\x98\\x8A\\x0D\\x0A...' for column 'content' at row 1")" I have tried to trace to figure out what file is _actually_ controlling the calls to mysql. There's a file called /var/lib/ucf/cache/:etc:mailman3:mailman-web.py as well, but I have no idea what that is or if it might be used. Is there something like 'mailman info' for mailman-web so I can see what files are being used? I'd love to fix this... 2. There's this one curious cron job... * * * * * www-data [ -f /usr/bin/django-admin ] && python2.7 /usr/bin/django-admin runjobs minutely --pythonpath /usr/share/mailman3-web --settings settings (yes, I know python2.7 is a problem... see the last paragraph below). These jobs start piling up. They run & run & run, and eventually the machine screeches to halt when it runs out of memory and goes belly up. This is a relatively recent development. After a while, I'll have 5 or 6 or more of these all running, looking something like this: www-data 6366 6364 99 15:00 ? 00:12:27 python2.7 /usr/bin/django-admin runjobs minutely --pythonpath /usr/share/mailman3-web --settings settings What this means in practice right now is that I'm forced to go in and kill these on a regular basis or the machine _will_ die and people _will_ shout at me. Does anyone have any idea why these might not be finishing? Can I comment this out completely & live happier? Any help whatsoever? ----------------------------------- Finally, I should add that I know my current installation is fundamentally flawed because I chose to go with distro packages. I simply cannot fix it. My strong recommendation to others who follow me is that they do NOT do this. Bite the bullet and install via pip... I'm now in the process of setting up a new server that is completely based on the latest via pip installation. I have to get away from what I have or lose my sanity. Cheers, David

Send MySQL data to mailman list for distribution
by Zden Pos June 2, 2021

June 2, 2021

I'm trying to connect existing MySQL data to the Mailman distribution list. Actually, a message is sent from the web page. It remains on this page and is also stored in the MySQL table on the provider server. This is working fine. I have also existing Mailman distribution list generated from the cPanel on the provider server as well. This list is working fine when used for a direct mailing. I need to link the MySQL table to the Mailman distribution list. When the message is posted on the web page and stored in the MySQL table, it is also to be sent to members as per the Mailman distribution list. I don't know where to configure it. In the phpMyAdmn page of the MySQL or in the Malman menu ? Thank you for your help

How to store additional information about lists?
by Andreas Barth May 30, 2021

May 30, 2021

Hi together, I need to add custom attributes to the mailing lists: "responsible department": Free text field who is responsible from an organisational pov (not a person but an entity) Enhance the boolean public to a tri-state: public, restricted audience and private (restricted audience means: some people could subscribe themself - how that works is a different topic but w/o the information this can't be achived) - of course this could also be implemented as a second boolean that e.g. splits "not public" into "restricted audience" and "private" (means: nothing goes wrong for code that doesn't know this difference). Any hints how to do that best? Is it possible to store custom attributes, or should that be stored elsewhere? Andi

trying to clean up the "held messages" mess
by Bjoern Franke May 28, 2021

May 28, 2021

Hi, I migrated a Mailman3 installation on Debian10 yesterday evening from Debian packages to PIP (thanks to [1]). I think some bugs which existed before are now cleaned out, but mailman still threw exceptions when trying to get the "held messages". I went through the pendedkeyvalue table of the MySQL DB to get all request ids of the held messages and their lists and discarded the messages via curl and the REST API. Mailman also logged the discarding was successful. The amount of held messages is now reduced, but e.g. a list with 120 held messages before has till 59 held messages. And now I'm confused: where are they? Best Regards Bjoern [1]https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Howto_Install_Mailman3_On_Debian10

non-member moderation: list default vs default processing
by dancab＠caltech.edu May 24, 2021

May 24, 2021

I've started testing and importing lists from Mailman2 to Mailman3. I've found that there's an inconsistency with the non-members moderation setting. As a result we have non-members unable to email a list via Mailman3 that had no problem on Mailman2. Each time this problem has come up I've had to change the moderation setting from "List Default" to "Default Processing". But I've also noticed that some non-members were imported and already have "Default Processing" configured. Can you help me understand what determines this setting in Mailman3? It seems this would be something addressed via the mailman import21 option I've been using to import the lists. Thanks. ---- Dan Caballero Systems Administrator Academic Computing Solutions IMSS - Caltech https://imss.caltech.edu

Intermittent: pymysql.err.InternalError: Packet sequence number wrong - got 102 expected 77
by Torge Riedel May 24, 2021

May 24, 2021

|Hi list, sometimes I get the following error in mailman core's log: "pymysql.err.InternalError: Packet sequence number wrong - got 102 expected 77". I attached the full log after this mail. I check the provided link in the log (|||http://sqlalche.me/e/2j85|) and also searched for it on the internet and found the following possible reasons: 1. DB user does not have permissions at all -> I doubt that, because in general mailman is working ok 2. DB user is not allowed to connect from remote -> I doubt that too, because everything is on one host and DB user is allowed to connect from localhost 3. Multi-Threading -> pymysql is mentioned to be not thread-safe and each thread needs its own connection May this be caused by multi-threading? What do I have to do (is there anything I can do?) to solve this on my own?||||| Kind regards Torge || |Full log follows: [2021-05-23 07:31:45 +0200] [8244] [ERROR] Error handling request /3.1/lists?advertised=true&count=10&page=1 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman/core/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sqlalchemy/engine/base.py", line 1284, in _execute_context cursor, statement, parameters, context File "/opt/mailman/core/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sqlalchemy/engine/default.py", line 590, in do_execute cursor.execute(statement, parameters) File "/opt/mailman/core/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pymysql/cursors.py", line 170, in execute result = self._query(query) File "/opt/mailman/core/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pymysql/cursors.py", line 328, in _query conn.query(q) File "/opt/mailman/core/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pymysql/connections.py", line 517, in query self._affected_rows = self._read_query_result(unbuffered=unbuffered) File "/opt/mailman/core/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pymysql/connections.py", line 732, in _read_query_result result.read() File "/opt/mailman/core/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pymysql/connections.py", line 1082, in read self._read_result_packet(first_packet) File "/opt/mailman/core/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pymysql/connections.py", line 1151, in _read_result_packet self._get_descriptions() File "/opt/mailman/core/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pymysql/connections.py", line 1222, in _get_descriptions field = self.connection._read_packet(FieldDescriptorPacket) File "/opt/mailman/core/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pymysql/connections.py", line 671, in _read_packet % (packet_number, self._next_seq_id)) pymysql.err.InternalError: Packet sequence number wrong -

New Mailman 3 installation issues
by sarah.hartt＠ionica.ca May 21, 2021

May 21, 2021

I have been trying to get a mailman 3 installation working for longer than I'd like to admit. Core appears to be installed and working as desired but Postorius (and hyperkitty, but I haven't even started troubleshooting it while trying to get the web interface working) is only loading the main page with no lists shown and all remaining links return a server error (specific text is: "Server error An error occurred while processing your request." with the error text highlighted). I think I followed all of the installation instructions, including the updated pythonpath line in the systemd module, but it's entirely possible that there is an error somewhere along the way. I have had to make two minor tweaks, the /static/ location was moved from /opt/mailman/web/static to /var/www/mailman/ (owner mailman:nginx) as nginx was giving permissions errors (even if it owned the files or with the mod set to 777) with the default location and wouldn't load the css, and installed postgres directly from their repo as the method in the guide doesn't create the user. Aside from that everything should be exactly as laid out in the installation guide. The logs are showing everything running and the DB logs show all the queries going through successfully, there are no errors in the web logs corresponding with the errors being served on the site aside an entry for a 500 in the access logs [18/May/2021:12:13:01] "GET /archives/ HTTP/1.1" 500 1102 "http://mailman3/mailman3/lists/" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/89.0.4389.91 Safari/537.36" "-" when I took a look in the DB tables many of them appear to be empty, I have a few lists in core that were imported from 2.1 but no new lists created. Mailman: 3.3.4 Postorius: 1.3.4 OS: Oracle Linux 8.3 Python: 3.6 postgres: 13.2

Can't deliver mails in queue
by Nathanael Schneider May 20, 2021

May 20, 2021

Hello, I have stumbled upon some weird issues with my migration to mailman3.. I've followed the step by step instructions for installing mm3 manually in a venv with postfix and virtual aliases (if that is of any significance). Now the Problem is, that some lists don't deliver EMails at all. The list was one which I migrated with the mailman21 command. But the Mail I sent did not get through to no one and the mailman logs did not show anything. I then created a completely new List which did not exists in mm2.1, subscribed two addresses and sent myself an EMail. That one worked as intended. I then deleted the whole broken list and created it cleanly, added the same two people, sent an email and nothing. Did not show up in the Moderation Queue or anywhere. it also doesn't get shunted. It just never arrives. I then turned the log level to debug on the smtp module. And I only get the following statement, ever repeating, never ending: [...] May 19 18:54:40 2021 (8280) Using agent: <mailman.mta.deliver.Deliver object at 0x7fb49b143780> May 19 18:54:40 2021 (8280) IndividualDelivery to: nathanael(a)lumenliquid.net May 19 18:54:40 2021 (8280) Using agent: <mailman.mta.deliver.Deliver object at 0x7fb4974541d0> May 19 18:54:40 2021 (8280) IndividualDelivery to: nathanael(a)lumenliquid.net May 19 18:54:40 2021 (8280) Using agent: <mailman.mta.deliver.Deliver object at 0x7fb4978db438> May 19 18:54:40 2021 (8280) IndividualDelivery to: nathanael(a)lumenliquid.net May 19 18:54:40 2021 (8280) Using agent: <mailman.mta.deliver.Deliver object at 0x7fb497f05f28> May 19 18:54:40 2021 (8280) IndividualDelivery to: nathanael(a)lumenliquid.net May 19 18:54:40 2021 (8280) Using agent: <mailman.mta.deliver.Deliver object at 0x7fb4978adb38> May 19 18:54:40 2021 (8280) IndividualDelivery to: nathanael(a)lumenliquid.net [...] I have no clue what to do with this.

I have no clue what's going wrong. (I've turned on debugging both on the original member list and the reduced member list. Both hang on the first delivery they do). If I restart mailman, the message gets correctly shunted as it is interrupted mid-delivery. My maillogs don't register any activity beside the listpost. Any ideas what I need to do to figure out what's not working here or where the culprit could be? Not sure if it is related to the mailinglist being in mailman2.1 before. -- Nathanael Schneider

Bounce counter visibility for List Admins
by smorytko＠gmail.com May 19, 2021

May 19, 2021

As you may know, we use MM3 but the Affinity/Empathy flavor and we only have List Administrator using the Postorious/Affinity. Unlike many here, we have no access to any server-based files. Can someone tell me if Postorious gives list administrators visibility into the bounce counters? While List Admins get to set various bounce counters we have no visibility of those counters until, all of a sudden, an entire source of subscribers hits the bounce threshold and gets bounced off the list. It would be really nice to be able to see the bounce counters and possibly head off trouble before users/subscriber mail hosts. It can serve as an effective early warning system that something is wrong. Assuming Postorious cannot, is there another way List Admins can inspect bounce counters? Email command? Thanks - Steve

OS upgrade - anything to take care of?
by Torge Riedel May 15, 2021

May 15, 2021

Dear MM3 users, today I upgraded one of two servers from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 and - besides some minor config updates - postfix & dovecot worked well afterwards. So I am very optimistic that the upgrade of the second server from 18.04 to 20.04 will also work fine. But the second server is running MM3 (installed in venv) and I saw that on upgrade Python 3.8 is installed. Is there anything I have to take care of? Anything to do / change in venv? Kind regards Torge

Hi, Hyperkitty 1.3.4. I am trying to download a complete list mbox by going to all threads view and using the download option. I have tried a couple of tools (Gunzip and Winrar) and both are giving me an unexpected end of file when trying to decompress the gz file. Here is the list URL I am using: https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/hyperkitty/list/plextalk@lists.hodgsonfamil… Any suggestions? Thanks. Andrew.

Problems with New MM3 Installation
by Jeff May 12, 2021

May 12, 2021

After using Mailman 2 (and possibly 1 though I don’t remember) for almost 20 years, I have just upgraded to Mailman 3. I followed the instructions here: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#virtualenv-inst… Things generally work, but I have run into a couple of small problems: 1) The uwsgi-error.log is filling with errors that seem to culminate in "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘settings’”. My settings.py is located in “/etc/mailman3” and seems to be found by other components of MM3. This error must be coming from the cron jobs. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this problem? 2) While old messages were imported without issue, new emails are not being archives. I see them in: mailman3/mm/var/archives/prototype/[listname]@[domain]/new But they are not being delivered. I have added this to my mailman.cfg: [archiver.hyperkitty] class: mailman_hyperkitty.Archiver enable: yes configuration: /usr/local/mailman3/mailman-hyperkitty.cfg And created the "/usr/local/mailman3/mailman-hyperkitty.cfg” as such: base_url: http://localhost/archives/ api_key: [key that matches “MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_KEY” in my settings.py] Some documentation says that the url should be "http://localhost/hyperkitty/“, but url generates a page not found error on my setup while the archives are available at the “archives” url. I would greatly appreciate any assistance with these two issues. Thanks much, Jeff

List Digest - Subject line
by smorytko＠gmail.com May 12, 2021

May 12, 2021

Is there a way to optionally cause the Subject line to display with the text body and as a summary at the top of the digest? I ask because on our mailing list (and probably many others too) subscribers include important content in the subject line and do NOT repeat it in the body of the text. So when the digest formatting places the Subject lines at the top to create "Today's Topics" as it does for all digest subscribers, the subject line and text body are widely separated making comprehension of the message much more difficult and separating important content unless it's repeated. This also happens on our list which uses Affinity/Empathy rather than Hyperkitty. In general, while a Today's Topics summary is useful, I think it would be preferable to always include the subject line with the body (one add'l line per digest message). Again I'm wondering if this is a web front-end function, a MM3 core function, or perhaps both? I ask because if it's not a MM3 core function I'll need to ask our developer for an Empathy modification. Below is an example from an Empathy-base list that shows how difficult it is to fully comprehend messages when the subject line is separated from the text body. The same issue would seem to be present in a Hyperkitty based list: Today's Topics: 1. Wilson’s Warbler (Albert Laguna) 2. RB Nuthatch, Kent (John Johnson) 3. Happy Mothers Day Summer Tanager (Visit Today Only) (Aidan Kiley) 4. Wimisink Sora, Marsh Wren (Angela Dimmitt) 5. Stn 43 South Windsor (Paul Desjardins) 6.
