Email verification
by Allan Hansen 19 Feb '20

19 Feb '20

Some members cannot get past the email verification when they create their accounts. They insist that they have looked in their spam folders. Their email addresses they entered are correct - the are able to log into their accounts with the right email address. But they get the message saying that a confirmation message was sent and if they don’s see it to contact us. 1. Who is ‘us’? My members are asking... 2. How do I help them? I tried subscribing them to a bogus list with pre-verified email, but that did not work, so both they and I are stuck. Tried finding help in archive, but did not see anything. Yours, Allan Hansen hansen(a)rc.org

Installing MM3 via pip fails…
by Patrick Ben Koetter 18 Feb '20

18 Feb '20

Has anyone managed to install MM3 recently using pip on Ubuntu 18? I followed the instructions at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#virtualenv-inst…. As soon as I get to the Django part things get hairy. It seems Django requires something that was removed from it. Any ideas or experience how I can get around that? p@rick -- [*] sys4 AG https://sys4.de, +49 (89) 30 90 46 64 Schleißheimer Straße 26/MG,80333 München Sitz der Gesellschaft: München, Amtsgericht München: HRB 199263 Vorstand: Patrick Ben Koetter, Marc Schiffbauer, Wolfgang Stief Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Florian Kirstein

Random characters in "The results of your email commands" e-mail
by Jeffrey D 18 Feb '20

18 Feb '20

Hi, Today I sending an e-mail to "mylist-request(a)domain.tld" with the subject "help" and I received the expected e-mail with the following content; confirm - Confirm a subscription request. echo - Echo back your arguments. end - Stop processing commands. help - Get help about available email commands. join - Join this mailing list. leave - Leave this mailing list. stop - An alias for 'end'. subscribe - An alias for 'join'. unsubscribe - An alias for 'leave'. No such command: -- No such command: vriendelijke Only I think my mail signature broke something in Mailman (see the No such command). Because every e-mail with a subject like "help", "stop" or "join", gives a reply with random characters. The Mailman logs doesn't show any error, so I'm not sure what is wrong. Deleting the mailinglist and create a new one won't fix the issue, also restarting Mailman doesn't help. An example of the random characters: Nzzf&ju[zZ0:v,jzkb^}nJyazZCj}{m5t5Cx<{iysG5o[w}jgn+g[lrwf*mzrLk)rjwliazZZnjyW(fvrh{aXXWj+&j)b b-'jX+zwl&v{rx &~y6.r(fu4:' Is this a bug in Mailman?

Mailman stopping message distribution because of SMTP errors
by Victoriano Giralt 12 Feb '20

12 Feb '20

Hi list, I have recently migrated some lists from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3. Users have been added using the mailman client as pre-verified addresses so the migration happened "silently". Thus, there was a dozen "bad" addresses (domains that did not exist anymore). Unfortunately, Mailman got some of the "bad" addresses in the first message batch for sending out, so, Postfix closed the connection because of "too many errors" and this stopped the process completely, i.e. Mailman did not continue sending messages to the rest of the list over 600 addresses. There was no more information in the logs than the Postfix error messages in smtp.log. Once the "bad" addresses were removed, the list started working as expected. I consider this a bug. The bouncing addresses should have been marked as "non deliverable" and the subscriptions "paused" and the rest should have been delivered. Or, the list owner should have been notified that there was a problem with message distribution. None of these happened. Thanks! -- Victoriano Giralt CIO University of Malaga +34952131415 SPAIN ================================================================== Note: signature.asc is the electronic signature of present message A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure ? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email ?

How to get rid of footer (Mailman3)
by tarmokumar＠gmail.com 12 Feb '20

12 Feb '20

Hi, I have read multiple posts in this forum that you should be able to get rid of the footer completely but I am unable to. I have tried: - adding the footer template to a list and not adding any "Data" to it. Result was a attachment with some "dfgdfgdfgdfg" text in it. - adding/creating a blank "list:member:generic:footer" document to /var/templates/site/en, var/templates/lists/LIST.ID/en/ and var/templates/domains/DOMAIN/en/. Result is that the sent e-mail still has the original unsubscribe text in the footer (as an attachment) - removing all the files from /mailman/src/mailman/templates/en, still no change We are running Mailman within Docker on these versions: maxking/mailman-core:0.3.2 maxking/mailman-web:0.3.2 When searching the docker for example "list:member:generic:footer" file, there isnt one (except the one I created) and when I search the file for text "unsubscribe", then it is only included in the postfix_lmtp file, but this doesnt seem to be it since it is overwritten every time.

Your Dashboard
by Torge Riedel 12 Feb '20

12 Feb '20

Hi, everytime I receive a mail for moderation it says: At your convenience, visit your dashboard to approve or deny the request. So, I am wondering where this "dashboard" might be. We are managing 11 different lists (small scenario I think) and currently we have to navigate to each list and its page of mails to moderate. I like the idea of a "dashboard" were you can see a summary of mails to moderate and other stuff to have an eye on. And directly do this from this dashbard. Which is convenience. If it is already there, where do I find it? If not, do others also find such a dashboard helpful? Best regards Torge

Cannot setup announce-only mailing list
by Alberto Granzotto 08 Feb '20

08 Feb '20

Dear all, I don't understand how to set up an "announce only" mailing list using Postorius Version 1.2.4. What I do is the following: - Click on "Create New List" - From "List Style", select "Announce only mailing list style." - Fill all other fields in the form - Click "Create list" At this point people can subscribe to the newly created announce mailing list. If they add themselves they end up in "List Members", and if they email the announce mailing list, their email is relayed to all other members, just like a normal mailing list :/ Moreover, subscribers get this message, inviting them to post to the announce only mailing list: > Welcome to the "Test-announce" mailing list! > > To post to this list, send your email to: > > test-announce(a)lists.dist0rtion.com Of course, I want to keep this mailing list "read only" for members, and I want only selected people to post to that mailing list. Any idea on how to achieve that? Best, Alberto

Attachement processings questions
by Lars Schimmer 07 Feb '20

07 Feb '20

Hello, I got some questions about attachements in MM3 mailinglists and HyperKitty. Hard to find any real documentation about this in the huge load of links out there. Short: Debian Stretch system with MailMan 3.2.1-1 packages (Postorius 1.2.4, HyperKitty 1.2.2). In a mailinglist it seems some mails are not forwarded to a member, but is listed in archive in hyperkitty. That mail did include a PDF attachement, but HyperKitty does not list any attachement. All I found was "convert HTML to plaintext", but does this setting remove attachements? Is there any generel documentation about attachement processing in MM3? I would like this mailinglist to accept mails with attachements, send it to the members and archvie the attachments in HyperKitty, to. Any idea where to look? Thank you so far.

Hi Sir, I came to know that the held messages can be restricted to be processed after a specific no of days or can be discard after some days using the parameter *max_days_to_hold*. But I could see that parameter value configurable on MM2 GUI interface in General Options but I don't see the same on the MM3 GUI interface.

Deliverability and Spam Filtering
by tom＠gather.coop 30 Jan '20

30 Jan '20

Hi folks! First time poster, long time Mailman user. I am setting up a new Mailman 3 instance, and am super excited about the REST API. I plan to use it to enable tight integration with a separate web app that I maintain. As I am setting up the mail server, I am wondering about two related things: deliverability (for outgoing mail) and spam filtering (for incoming mail). What solutions have folks used for these? I know it is generally common now to outsource this critical task to a cloud provider like Mailgun or etc. Have folks needed this or is running ones own incoming and outgoing mail not a big deal? So many horror stories out there... As far as Mailgun goes, I think it should be straightforward to configure it for outgoing mail, but I'm not sure how I'd use it for incoming. Mailgun can forward mail via HTTP or to another email address. Neither I think would work out of the box. It would be great if there were a REST API endpoint for incoming mail, but I don't think such a thing exists, right? Perhaps I could add one? Another thought I had was that I could write a simple HTTP server that receives mail from Mailgun and forwards it to Mailman via LMTP. But it seems simpler to go right to Mailman's core API given that one exist already. Or am I thinking about this all wrong? Are there other more suitable services out there? I looked for cloud MTA providers but didn't turn up much except for in the large enterprise space, which I'm sure I can't afford. Thanks for any thoughts!

SUBSCRIBE_FORM_SECRET in MM3?
by Gila Halpern 30 Jan '20

30 Jan '20

I've been looking into ways to prevent spam on my company's list, and one thing I came across was the SUBSCRIBE_FORM_SECRET option in the Mailman configuration, which embeds a CSRF token into the form, and prevents it from being submitted until five seconds after it renders, to keep bots from subscribing. Unfortunately, the information I found pertained to Mailman 2. Does this option exist in MM3 as well, or is there a similar option?

Mass subscribe gives HTTP Error 500 when using custom template
by Jeffrey D 30 Jan '20

30 Jan '20

Hi, I have some issues with the Mass Subscribe option on Mailman 3.2.1. When using a custom "The notice sent to a member when they are subscribed to the mailing list." template, Postorius will throw an exception after pushing the "Subscribe Users" button on Mass Subscribe. In the web interface you will see a red notification bar with the text: "HTTP Error 500: b'A server error occurred. Please contact the administrator.'".

DMARC Munging
by Allan Hansen 30 Jan '20

30 Jan '20

All, The munged From: header in MM3 still says 'name' via ‘listname’ <‘listaddress’> This caused me and my subscribers a lot of grief in MM2: Some mail clients use the first part up to the From for future key-ahead for new email to ’name’, hiding the address, so what they think is a personal message for ’name’, instead goes to the entire list. Red faces all around. Stephen Thurnbull earlier suggested further munging by replacing the list address in the From: header like this: 'name' via ‘listname’ <‘whoopsieaddress’> Which will return an automated reply explaining the issue. I like this option. How can I get that in? Yours, Allan Hansen allan_hansen(a)icloud.com PS: I always use sender in Reply-To.

Cron of Mailman notify is not working
by Shashikanth Komandoor 29 Jan '20

29 Jan '20

Hello, With your help, I was able to setup mailman 3.3 on my RHEL 7.5 machine and running well and good. For daily notification I have added the below line in the crontab: 00 08 * * * /var/lib/mailman/venv3/bin/mailman notify But this cron job is not working while I was able to run the same command manually at my CLI. Please help if there is any issue with mailman 3.3 or cronjob. -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936

DMARC Mitigation Wrap
by Allan Hansen 27 Jan '20

27 Jan '20

All, After a reinstall I’m back to thinking about the MM3 DMARC mitigation issue. Until munging can be improved, I will be using the option to wrap: MM3 has the option to wrap the main message with a wrap_message. It appears, however, that MM3 is oblivious to all my attempts to include whitespace, in this case a <cr>. When the enclosed message is automatically unwrapped by the receiving client, this causes the wrap and enclosed message's From: header to butt up against each other, which is rather ugly. I tried many tricks, but none worked, such as, <cr>, SPACE+, TAB+, <BLANKLINE>, SHIFT-RETURN, two RETURNS, \r\n and UTF-8 codes. They all either got ignored or copied as entered to the output message. Here’s an example. I just want to put a divider after the wrap_message main text. The From address of this message has been replaced with the list address, while the From name has 'via list' appended. Please be careful when using 'via list' addresses later for new emails, as they will be sent to the whole list.\r\n -------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n From: Allan Hansen <allan_hansen(a)icloud.com <mailto:allan_hansen@icloud.com>> Subject: [Testlist] wrap with divider and BLANKLINE Which coding option am I missing? I have searched for one online. Yours, Allan Hansen allan_hansen(a)icloud.com

Header and footer templates in MM3
by Gila Halpern 26 Jan '20

26 Jan '20

I read the earlier message from Peter Mueller about message decoration, and where the templates are in the file system. However, when I edit the header and footer templates in Postorius, those templates do not appear in the location specified. Should I be looking somewhere else? (I intend to write a program to rotate though several headers/footers, so I need to know where to have it write to.) Gila Halpern

Can I install Mailman 3.3 on RHEL 8 ?
by Shashikanth Komandoor 25 Jan '20

25 Jan '20

Hi Team/Sir, Can Mailman 3.3 be installed on RHEL 8? I got this query because while I was trying to install the prerequisites for Mailman 3.3 as per the website http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/devsetup.html I found nodejs-less is also to be installed. But I don't find the nodejs-less as part of BaseOS packages or the AppStream modules. Please suggest how to go ahead. -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936

Cannot see the cron jobs for Mailman 3 Installed
by Shashikanth Komandoor 24 Jan '20

24 Jan '20

Hi, I have setup the Mailman 3 on my RHEL 7.5 box and found it was working fine. But I found that I am not getting daily summary notifications for which I learnt after browsing through different websites, there should be an entry of *checkdb* in the cron job list. But I did not find any such nor I don't find any cron job updated after the installation of mailman 3. So, please guide how to get those cron jobs of mailman 3 installed again without disturbing the already installed setup. Thanks in advance. -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936

start_chain not present in migrated lists
by Paul Honig 21 Jan '20

21 Jan '20

Hi, Please let me know where I can post my question if this list is not the right place. I'm configuring a mailing list server, migrating from Mailman 2.1 to 3.2.2, and I can't get the migrated mailing lists to work. When I create new mailing lists there is no problem. Here are the versions of Mailman I run : mailman 3.2.2 mailman-hyperkitty (1.1.0) django-mailman3 (1.2.0) postorius (1.3.2) mailmanclient (3.2.2) HyperKitty (1.2.2) The command line I use the migrate the mailing list: /opt/mailman_venv/bin/mailman -C /opt/mailman_venv/var/etc/mailman.cfg import21 mltest(a)test.domain /var/vmail/mig/data/lists/mltest/config.pck When I send an email to a migrated list, of which I made myself a member, no mail is sent, and I get the following stack trace in the log: ==> /var/log/mailman/mailman.log <== Jan 21 15:02:37 2020 (15948) Uncaught runner exception: None Jan 21 15:02:37 2020 (15948) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman_venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 173, in _one_iteration self._process_one_file(msg, msgdata) File "/opt/mailman_venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 266, in _process_one_file keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/opt/mailman_venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/runners/incoming.py", line 79, in _dispose process(mlist, msg, msgdata, start_chain) File "/opt/mailman_venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/core/chains.py", line 40, in process chain = config.chains[start_chain] KeyError: None Jan 21 15:02:37 2020 (15948) SHUNTING: 1579615357.5331464+c5918e305ec281d47ef0caaed070c8c4bde26ee3 It seems like the start_chain has value 'None' and that prevents the mail from processed, but I can't find where to correctly set the start_chain.

Handling of SPAM mails in mailman3 - Check for X-Spam Header
by Torge Riedel 19 Jan '20

19 Jan '20

Hi, we migrated successfully to mailman3 so far. I have some questions regarding handling of SPAM mails in mailman, this is the second question: Such SPAM mails are currently hold for moderation with reason "not from a list member". Is there no check for the "X-Spam: Yes" header or is this check done later? I would prefer that a check for such a header is done first and is reported as the reason. Which is IMHO a very important information. Or maybe show "This is detected as SPAM" in big bold red letters in a new column in the list of mails to moderate for such a mail. Maybe there is more eye-candy solution for it. Sometimes mail accounts of allowed users are hacked and we do not want spread SPAM accidently. On my setup all mails are checked by rspamd before local delivery and I see that the "X-Spam" header is set for such mails. So even mails from allowed members with header "X-Spam: Yes" should be hold for moderation. Maybe this is already the case, did not gave it a try yet. Best regards Torge

Handling of SPAM mails in mailman3 - Do not append original mail to moderation mail
by Torge Riedel 19 Jan '20

19 Jan '20

Hi, we migrated successfully to mailman3 so far. I have some questions regarding handling of SPAM mails in mailman, here is the first, second comes in a separate post: The list moderator currently receives a copy of the original mail in the info mail he gets for moderation. This is bad in case it was a SPAM mail, cause we have seen that such an info mail is detected also as SPAM. That might rise problems cause other mail servers might block the info mail as SPAM and if this happens too often blocking the whole server. I fear. At least I see that my rspamd starts learning the info mail as SPAM. I don't want that to happen. I searched mailman web interface for a setting to disable adding a copy to the info mail. But have not found it. Is it missing or where do I have to look? Best regards Torge

Mailman runners missing - nothing in logs

Hi, since migration from mailman2 to mailman3 I had twice the following, last time today: When sending a mail to a list I get the following reply from postfix after a while: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:8024: Connection refused Searched on that and found some posts, where the following shell command is named to check what is running: ps -fwwu mailman And I get this as output: UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD mailman 1166 1 0 Jan07 ? 00:00:01 /opt/mailman/core/venv/bin/python3 /opt/mailman/core/venv/bin/master -C /opt/mailman/core/mailman.cfg mailman 1180 1166 0 Jan07 ? 00:03:09 /opt/mailman/core/venv/bin/python3 /opt/mailman/core/venv/bin/runner -C /opt/mailman/core/mailman.cfg --runner=rest:0:1 mailman 1212 1180 0 Jan07 ? 00:01:10 /opt/mailman/core/venv/bin/python3 /opt/mailman/core/venv/bin/runner -C /opt/mailman/core/mailman.cfg --runner=rest:0:1 mailman 11039 11036 0 06:25 ? 00:00:03 /usr/bin/uwsgi-core --ini mailman3.ini mailman 11064 11039 0 06:25 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/uwsgi-core --ini mailman3.ini mailman 11065 11039 0 06:25 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/uwsgi-core --ini mailman3.ini mailman 17257 1180 0 Jan12 ? 00:00:37 /opt/mailman/core/venv/bin/python3 /opt/mailman/core/venv/bin/runner -C /opt/mailman/core/mailman.cfg --runner=rest:0:1 Lots of expected runners are missing.

I checked all the logs prior to restarting the service in directory /opt/mailman/var/log, but I do not see any errors. And the master was still running, I would expect that the master will start / restart a runner in case it died? Fun fact: First time of this problem was two weeks from now, which was two weeks after migration to mailman3. I'm excited if it will happen in two weeks again. Installed packages for core: mailman (3.3.0) mailman-hyperkitty (1.1.0) Any suggestions where I should have a deeper look and maybe find the root cause of this problem? Thanks in advance Torge

Another set of new releases
by Abhilash Raj 19 Jan '20

19 Jan '20

Hi Everyone, Hope everyone had a great weekend! I am pleased to announce new set of releases: - Postorius 1.3.2 - Django-mailman3 1.3.2 - Hyperkitty 1.3.2 This release was required as it turned out 1.3.1 releases did not includes translations in the tarballs that I created and uploaded to PyPI. They do include a couple of bugfixes and more translations. - Hyperkitty (https://hyperkitty.readthedocs.io/en/latest/news.html#id1) - Postorius (https://postorius.readthedocs.io/en/latest/news.html#id1) All three of these releases also officially drop support for Django 1.11. Although, there hasn't been any code change that breaks compatibility with 1.11. It has just been dropped form our CI machinery since our dependencies no longer support 1.11. All the releases are available on PyPI, as usual! -- Thanks Abhilash Raj

Adding a domsin
by Allan Hansen 13 Jan '20

13 Jan '20

Hi all, I’m still working on setting up my lists in a domain that was added after MM3 installation. It’s mostly working but the Postorius page and the ‘noreply’ emails still sport the old domain name. I hav looked at all the py and cfg files where the old name appeared, and they no longer hold the old name. My coadmin now tells me that the database has a table with the old name. Any suggestion as to whether that can cause the issue and if it’s safe to change the table. Yours, Allan Hansen P.O. Box 2423 Cypress, CA 90630

What am I missing/doing incorrectly? Does uwsgi need access to the certificate/private key while running as non-root for instance?

Default values for new lists
by Sten Aus 11 Jan '20

11 Jan '20

Hi I haven't found out where I could choose or edit default list values (when creating new list). For example I would like that all new lists would be with *private archive* (and change this when it is needed). This is great that I can choose not to advertise list in Index (which I can choose from list creation interface) but I would like to choose other options too. Right now only solution is to create list and then choose Archiving and then select "private archives". Another thing is that I would like to choose default subscription policy to "Moderate". If anyone has encountered this problem, let me know! All the best Sten

bounce processing on this list
by Mark Sapiro 09 Jan '20

09 Jan '20

I have just installed the latest Mailman core for this list. This version now actually processes bounces. As a result of the huge backlog of unprocessed, queued bounces, some members may receive one or more bounce probe messages. As long as the probes don't bounce, your subscription will be unaffected and you can ignore the probe message. Sorry for the noise. Hopefully it's just a one time catch-up. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

FILTER_VHOST for 3.2.1 not working after install
by Élodie BOSSIER 08 Jan '20

08 Jan '20

Hello, I'm using Mailman 2.1.29 since several years and all was perfect except the virtual_host which was "faked" : it was possible to have several mailing list by domain linked to their own domain and url but not same mailing list name for multiple domains. Example (with lighttpd) : - at http://ml.bossier.fr/listinfo we can see ONLY mailing list "test2@", "Test3@" and "Test4@" for @ml.bossier.fr - and at http://ml.franceserv.fr/listinfo we can see ONLY mailing list "bar@", "newsletter@" and "test@" for @ml.franceserv.fr Each url_host have their "own" mailing list. It's the main reason I would like migrate and use Mailman 3 and be able to have "test(a)ml.bossier.fr" and "test(a)ml.franceserv.fr". So I installed Mailman 3.2.1 and I have set "FILTER_VHOST = True" into /etc/mailman3/mailman-web.py then : mailman create --language fr --owner admin(a)franceserv.fr --domain test(a)ml.franceserv.fr mailman create --language fr --owner admin(a)franceserv.fr --domain test2(a)ml.bossier.fr And I have this result (with nginx as front) : - at http://ml.franceserv.fr:81/postorius/lists/ we can see mailing list "test(a)ml.franceserv.fr and test2(a)ml.bossier.fr" - and at http://ml.bossier.fr:81/postorius/lists/ we can see mailing list "test(a)ml.franceserv.fr and test2(a)ml.bossier.fr" (same result) And it's my problem, I would like be able to see the linked mailing list to their own url. I would like with Mailman 3.2.1 see into : - "example1.com/postorius/lists/" only the mailing list related to example1, - and into "example2.com/postorius/lists/" only the mailing list related to example2 as Mailman 2.1.x do it. I don't understand what I missed, could you help me please ? Best regards, Élodie PS. Sorry for my english language I'm french.

Migration from 2.1 to 3
by brunol＠agro.uba.ar 08 Jan '20

08 Jan '20

Hi, I am in the process to migrate an old 2.1 installation to 3.2.1 (Debian 10.1) Following the 2.1 to 3 docs: - Create a new list - Use the import21 command The command runs successfully (at least no errors in stdout). There is a problem when sending an email to the newly imported list, the message never get send to the members. I do get moderation emails, and if i do a mass subscribe, the welcome email is received by the new members. In a fresh 3 new list (not imported from 2.1) this does not happen. I already tried looking for clues in the logs [logging.smtp] path: debug.log level: debug [logging.smtp-failure] path: debug.log level: debug [logging.error] path: debug.log level: debug But i haven't seen anything useful yet. Any hints on this?

This is because of the domain change. In settings(_local).py you have a setting for SITE_ID. Possibly, setting that in settings_local.py to a value one greater that the current setting will do. To be certain of the correct value, you need to look at the django_site table in mailman's database. That table has 3 columns, id, domain and name.

MM3 shunting mails
by Anders Nilsson 03 Jan '20

03 Jan '20

I'm running a Mailman 3.1.0 installation on a CentOS 7 machine. Using RPMs from https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/abompard/hyperkitty/el-7/x86_64/ I do have problems with some lists occasionally going into some kind of shunt mode, where alla mails sent to them gets shunted. In the Mailman log I get entries for each shunted email: Mar 17 11:54:11 2017 (6217) Uncaught runner exception: Multiple rows were found for one_or_none() Mar 17 11:54:11 2017 (6217) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 171, in _one_iteration self._process_one_file(msg, msgdata) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 264, in _process_one_file keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/runners/pipeline.py", line 37, in _dispose process(mlist, msg, msgdata, pipeline) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/core/pipelines.py", line 53, in process handler.process(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/handlers/rfc_2369.py", line 121, in process process(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/handlers/rfc_2369.py", line 70, in process archiver_set = IListArchiverSet(mlist) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/zope/component/hookable.py", line 33, in __call__ return self.__implementation(*args, **kw) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/zope/component/_api.py", line 156, in adapter_hook return sitemanager.queryAdapter(object, interface, name, default) File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/zope/interface/registry.py", line 348, in queryAdapter return self.adapters.queryAdapter(object, interface, name, default) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/database/transaction.py", line 85, in wrapper return function(args[0], config.db.store, *args[1:], **kws) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/model/mailinglist.py", line 607, in __init__ ListArchiver.name == archiver_name).one_or_none() File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/sqlalchemy/orm/query.py", line 2733, in one_or_none "Multiple rows were found for one_or_none()") sqlalchemy.orm.exc.MultipleResultsFound: Multiple rows were found for one_or_none() Mar 17 11:54:11 2017 (6217) SHUNTING: 1489748051.1949184+7a59df19c81493cb419306d620376efc0e381819 And so far my Google-fu hasn't been good enough to give me any useful answers to why this happens. If I dump one of the pickles using qfile I cannot see any complaints. Most of the times, if I remove and recreate a failing list and run unshunt the shunted emails get processed and sent.

Mark a list to prevent it being shown as inactive on HyperKitty
by Steven Maddox 03 Jan '20

03 Jan '20

Lo Folks, Subject says it all really, is there anyway to mark a list as one which should never be shown as inactive on the HyperKitty web interface? We've got a list which we consider to be "active", it's just that there might be the odd month here or there which it won't show activity. Failing having such a setting (as described above)... maybe there is a way of changing what it considers to be 'inactive' (I'm assuming that it is 30 days?). At the moment (in order to counteract commit 156f4cda) I've dropped this into templates/hyperkitty/bottom.html to uncheck the "Hide Inactive" checkbox... but that doesn't actually stop HyperKitty from considering it inactive - just shows it in dark grey. <script> document.querySelector("input[type='checkbox'][value='inactive']").checked = false; </script> -- Steven Maddox Lantizia

Weekend releases
by Abhilash Raj 26 Dec '19

26 Dec '19

Hi Everyone, Hope everyone had a great weekend! I am pleased to announce new set of releases: - Postorius 1.3.1 - Django-mailman3 1.3.1 - Hyperkitty 1.3.1 These are all bugfix releases and include several fixes each. The full changelogs are available at: - Hyperkitty (https://hyperkitty.readthedocs.io/en/latest/news.html#id1) - Postorius (https://postorius.readthedocs.io/en/latest/news.html#id1) Most notable fixes include a fix for PostgeSQL support in Hyperkitty, ability to delete a MailingList in Hyperkitty and list settings changes are immediately reflected in Hyperkitty (like making a List private). It also includes support for Python 3.8 and Django 3.0 in Postorius and Django-maialman3. Hyperkitty doesn't yet support either of them due to some dependencies not yet supporting Django 3.0 and a bug in Python 3.8.0 causing a test case failure[1]. I hope that we are able to support the latest and greatest as soon as possible, I am excited to be able to play with Django's aync capabilities. Finally, since our i18n workflow has been setup, we have lots of new translations coming in. This release also includes more parts of Postorius being translatable, including section headers. I am really happy to see Mailman 3 move closer to Mailman 2 in terms of i18n. If you want to help us improve the coverage, head on to Weblate[2]. All the releases are available on PyPI, as usual! [1] Fun Fact: The bug was due to a code that I contributed ;-). It is now fixed and will be soon out with Python 3.8.1 sometime this month.

postfix virtual domain and mailman 3
by work＠andrefincato.info 25 Dec '19

25 Dec '19

hi everyone! i start by saying that i browsed through the archives in here for the past three days, and re-read the mailman 3 docs several times, as well the postfix docs. the thread closest to my problem is this one https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… ; i was not sure if it was good to re-open though. i have a postfix + dovecot setup using the "separate domains and non-unix accounts". problem: ``` postfix/smtpd[26356]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from wout1-smtp.messagingengine.com[64.147.123.24]: 550 5.1.1 <list-name(a)domain.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown; from=<some(a)email.com> to=<list-name(a)domain.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<wout1-smtp.messagingengine.com> ``` postfix main.cf relevant portion for virtual users ``` # deliver mail for virtual users to Dovecot's LMTP socket virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp # setup virtual domains and non-unix accounts virtual_mailbox_domains = /etc/postfix/vhosts virtual_mailbox_base = /var/spool/vmail virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmaps virtual_uid_maps = static:1001 virtual_gid_maps = static:1001 virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/valias ``` postfix `main.cf` mailman settings ``` transport_maps = regexp:/opt/mailman/var/data/postfix_lmtp local_recipient_maps = regexp:/opt/mailman/var/data/postfix_lmtp relay_domains = regexp:/opt/mailman/var/data/postfix_domains ``` question: i tried to add the `alias_domain` to mailman using Mailman Core REST APIs because I read about https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/mta.html#unusual-… ; entering the mailman console and doing `dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/domains/example.com/lists')` was giving me error that `dump_json` is not an available module. is that the way to go? should I add a an `alias_domain` to Mailman in order for it to output a `postfix_vmap` when doing `mailman aliases`? and then add it to postfix `main.cf` like so ``` virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/valias, regexp:/opt/mailman/var/data//postfix_vmap ``` or do you suggest as a simple viable solution to create a new unix account and setup postfix to use local domains? thanks and hopefully my confusion arose from reading all these threads will dissipate soon!

Please update your Mailman installations: CVE-2019-19844
by Abhilash Raj 19 Dec '19

19 Dec '19

Hey Mailman Users, A new Django vulnerability was disclosed yesterday[1] which can lead to account hijacks via password reset emails. The fix has been released as a part of Django 3.0.1, 2.2.9, and 1.11.27. We do not support Django 3.0.1, so, please upgrade to 2.2.9 or 1.11.27, depending on which version of Mailman components you are using. If you are using a virtualenv based installation, you can install the new versions using `pip` (venv) $ pip install -U django==2.2.9 or similar for 1.11.27. You can also upgrade django-allauth to 0.41.0, which also fixes this issue[2]. I hope distro packages will soon have updated packages with the fixes. I have also published new versions of Container Images, 0.3.2 (or, 0.3) both have been updated. See more details about updating the containers here[3].
