Container Images for Mailman 3.2 release
by Abhilash Raj 27 Jul '18

27 Jul '18

Hi All, I have updated and pushed releases for Container Images with 3.2 release of the suite. They are available at: docker.io/maxking/mailman-web:0.2 docker.io/maxking/mailman-core:0.2 A similar copy of both is also available at quay: quay.io/maxking/mailman-web:0.2 quay.io/maxking/mailman-core:0.2 The releases contain the following versions of components: mailman-core: - Mailman Core 3.2.0 - Mailman-hyperkitty 1.1.0 mailman-web: - Postorius 1.2.1 - Hyperkitty 1.2.0 - Django-mailman3 1.2.0 - MailmanClient 3.2.0 The upgrade process from 0.1 release should be relative painless, except for the full-text index, which needs to be rebuilt due to the migration from Python 2 to 3 of the full-text indexing library whoosh. You can run the following commands to do so, after the upgrade: $ docker exec -it mailman-web bash bash # python manage.py rebuild_index If you are not using the default docker-compose.yaml file provided in the repo, you need to add an extra environment variable for mailman-web container, POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL, which defaults to `http://mailman-web:8000`. It should be the URL where your mailman-web container is listening on with HTTP (port 8000 by default). The rolling releases are not being rolled out right everyday now, because of broken build scripts. I'd recommend everyone use the new stable releases that I mentioned above. Going forward, I'll try to release stable versions more often, so that there isn't any need for rolling version, but fixing the rolling releases is on my TODO. Documentation for these images is available at: https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

Creating a new list using REST from the host
by Henrik Rasmussen 18 Jul '18

18 Jul '18

I am using Docker-mailman (GNU Mailman 3.2.0a1), but from the host I am trying to create a list using the REST API in the (yet, no offense) lack of a template for new list configurations. I get a nice dictionary when getting data out of Mailman, but using this exact dictionary (for debug) as payload to Mailman (my mmapiwrite), and with reference to https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/rest/docs/lists.html#c…, I get a response "A server error occurred. Please contact the administrator.". I don't understand the dump_json and I find the docs above hard to follow. How should I create the list using REST? <code> restapiversion = '3.1' def getlistdefaultsx(): # Exact output from Mailman, see below. listdefaultsx = { 'acceptable_aliases': [], 'admin_immed_notify': True, 'admin_notify_mchanges': False, 'administrivia': True, [SNIP] 'subscription_policy': 'confirm_then_moderate', 'volume': 1} return(listdefaultsx) def get_all_list_names(): all_list_fqdn = [] response = mmapi('lists?count=10&page=1') output = response.json() for entry in output.get('entries'): all_list_fqdn.append(entry.get('fqdn_listname')) return(all_list_fqdn) def addlist(): list_setup = getlistdefaultsx() go_create_list('abc', list_setup) def go_create_list(list_name_fqdn, list_setup): #pprint(list_setup) print('Creating list %s ...' % list_name_fqdn) response = mmapiwrite('lists', list_setup) def mmapi(apicommand): response = requests.get('http://172.19.199.2:8001/%s/%s' % (restapiversion, apicommand), auth=('restadmin', 'restpass')) def mmapiwrite(apicommand,payload): response = requests.post('http://172.19.199.2:8001/%s/%s' % (restapiversion, apicommand), data=payload, auth=('restadmin', 'restpass')) getlistdefaultsx is an actual dictionary with real output from Mailman using my mmapi from an existing test list (though domain names are masked. Of course I can't create an existing list, but when changing the list name I get the same error message. {'acceptable_aliases': [], 'admin_immed_notify': True, 'admin_notify_mchanges': False, 'administrivia': True, 'advertised': True, 'allow_list_posts': True, 'anonymous_list': False, 'archive_policy': 'never', 'autorespond_owner': 'none', 'autorespond_postings': 'none', 'autorespond_requests': 'none', 'autoresponse_grace_period': '90d', 'autoresponse_owner_text': '', 'autoresponse_postings_text': '', 'autoresponse_request_text': '', 'bounces_address': 'hertest2-bounces(a)example.ku.dk', 'collapse_alternatives': True, 'convert_html_to_plaintext': False, 'created_at': '2018-03-19T14:19:49.018252', 'default_member_action': 'defer', 'default_nonmember_action': 'hold', 'description': 'Test-domæne for Mailman 3-testlister', 'digest_last_sent_at': None, 'digest_send_periodic': True, 'digest_size_threshold': 30.0, 'digest_volume_frequency': 'monthly', 'digests_enabled': True, 'display_name': 'Hertest2', 'dmarc_mitigate_action': 'no_mitigation', 'dmarc_mitigate_unconditionally': False, 'dmarc_moderation_notice': '', 'dmarc_wrapped_message_text': '', 'filter_content': False, 'first_strip_reply_to': False, 'fqdn_listname': 'hertest2(a)example.ku.dk', 'http_etag': '"987dfgf8g569fvfd6v7"', 'include_rfc2369_headers': True, 'info': '', 'join_address': 'hertest2-join(a)example.ku.dk', 'last_post_at': None, 'leave_address': 'hertest2-leave(a)example.ku.dk', 'list_name': 'hertest2', 'mail_host': 'example.ku.dk', 'max_message_size': 40, 'moderator_password': None, 'next_digest_number': 1, 'no_reply_address': 'noreply(a)example.ku.dk', 'owner_address': 'hertest2-owner(a)example.ku.dk', 'post_id': 1, 'posting_address': 'hertest2(a)example.ku.dk', 'posting_pipeline': 'default-posting-pipeline', 'reply_goes_to_list': 'no_munging', 'reply_to_address': '', 'request_address': 'hertest2-request(a)example.ku.dk', 'send_welcome_message': True, 'subject_prefix': '[Hertest2] ', 'subscription_policy': 'confirm_then_moderate', 'volume': 1} </code>

Mail configuration
by Darren Smith 14 Jul '18

14 Jul '18

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this question, but I'm pretty sure if there is expertise on how to do what I want to do, it can be found here. Overview of what I am looking to do: Due to the impending shutdown (in the next 6 months) of the data center where our mailman server lives, we are being forced to move the installation. We are going to be moving it to a different location. Here is our problem... Moving things is not really a problem in and of itself - I'm confident that I can get things set up correctly elsewhere. However, our email server sends somewhere around 100,000 emails per day, and if you cut over from one IP address to another IP address, my understanding is that most ISPs will start to ban you, because they are not used to that sort of volume coming from an unknown IP. I know it would be better if we could keep the IP address, but again, due to circumstances beyond my control, this is not going to be a possibility. We have been told that "warming up" the IP is the way to go - that is, cutting over just some of the traffic a little at a time. So what I am looking for is a way for all mail on our domain to be sent to our current mailman installation, and based on some configuration (certain mailing lists?) certain emails being sent out to the list subscribers will first be forwarded to the new server and be sent from the new IP address. Does that make sense? Does anyone know a way that mailman/postfix can be configured to accomplish this? Is there a different forum where I might be able to ask experts about this? Thanks, -Darren

Triaging message non-receipt
by Eric Abrahamsen 13 Jul '18

13 Jul '18

I've got a very small list (five members) for the management of a charitable organization, and we're having trouble with intermittent message delivery failure. I was running all the mailman related packages at git master from maybe two months ago, and updated everything to master again when I saw the announcement about version 3.2. Two of our subscribers intermittently don't receive emails sent to the list by the other. One is using Gmail, the other Yahoo, and they confirm that messages are not being shunted into spam folders. It happens only occasionally: apparently nearly half the messages don't go through. The rest of us get all the messages, including all sent by these two. All messages are correctly archived in hyperkitty. smtp.log always shows "for 5 recips", even for the messages that the two users aren't getting. These two users only ever miss messages sent by the other. I'm still inclined to blame Gmail and/or Yahoo, though I don't know why they would be swallowing only messages from the other, and not from other list members. Is there any way to get a better sense of where things are going wrong? Turn up the logging verbosity? Send test messages? Get more diagnostics? If anyone has any suggestions (or if this situation sounds familiar to anyone) I would love to hear about it. Thanks, Eric

Mailman3 Issue
by Danny Weddle 13 Jul '18

13 Jul '18

For some weird reason, the file /mailman/var/data/postfix_domains has a whitespace added to every mail domain. I checked the postfix main.cf file for any white spaces, but did not see any. I get errors every time that I try to add a list. The console shows whitespace " example.org" in the list.

Pre-approved howto
by thor.rustad＠gmail.com 09 Jul '18

09 Jul '18

I have tried to understand the concept of pre-approved messages, but I'm spending way too much trying to figure it out. Help! The scenario is as follows: Mailman installation with hundreds of lists. Each list's owner is only supposed to add/remove members, so approving/rejecting messages is not in the "job description". Then we have a small group of superusers who will be the ones sending documents etc to all 800 lists. The superusers should be able to do so without being stopped by size limits etc. How can I achieve this? ---- Thor Atle Rustad ----

Unknown attribute: max_message_size
by Thor Atle Rustad 27 Jun '18

27 Jun '18

If I make changes here: https://example.com/postorius/lists/test2.example.com/settings/message_acce…, I get a warning that the Maximum Message Size field at the bottom is mandatory. However, if I put a number in that field and save, I get "Unknown attribute: max_message_size". That makes sense, since Mark states in https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message… that max_messages_size is not exposed in REST. What to do? I have Maxking mailman-docker but can easily copy files into the image if necessary. Thor

Avoiding reply to list when User does "Reply To All"

Functionailty of web host domains
by Johannes Winter 16 Jun '18

16 Jun '18

Hello everybody, I'd actually like to use mailman3 in a multi-site setup, so that lists are only accessible from corresponding domains. I already asked once oif this would be possible with domain admins, but that is not implemented: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… Then i was asking myself whether it could be possible with the "wed host" functionality. For each domain you can specify a "web host". But when I specify a different one than the default for one domain, and make it accessible with specifying `DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS`, all mailinglists from the other web hosts are also shown when I access the second site. So does this 'web host' option have a meaning, or is it just an alias for the first site? Best regards, Johannes Winter

Disable like button
by Marvin Gülker 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

Hi everyone, is it possible to disable the facebookish like/dislike thumbs buttons on posts in Hyperkitty? I have the impression that this kind of functionality discourages useful, argumentative discussion and instead causes emotional voting without arguments on whatever is at hand (it is one of the features I would really like to disable on GitHub as well). A voting facility on its own is surely fine, but it shouldn't be on each post, but only where one actually wants to cast a vote. Also, one isn't informed of the thumbs up/thumbs down count when only using the email interface and not Hyperkitty. This can lead to confusion for users that only use Hyperkitty and feel their "votes" are being ignored. Marvin -- Blog: https://mg.guelker.eu PGP/GPG ID: F1D8799FBCC8BC4F

Scheduled tasks
by Darren Smith 08 Jun '18

08 Jun '18

All, I am looking more through the documentation of the Mailman Suite here: https://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/gnu-mailman/latest/gnu-mailman.pdf In section 3.2.5 it talks about the scheduled tasks that need to be run to do "specific routine functions" in hyperkitty. I installed through the easy install script found here: https://github.com/iomarmochtar/mailman3_ei/ However, I can't find anything in THAT documentation that talks about these cron jobs, and in fact the Mailman Suite isn't installed through that script. Can someone point me to any other documentation about the tasks that need to be run on a continual basis? Our hyperkitty installation seems to be bogging down more and more, and I am hoping that it will be as simple as just running some jobs that haven't been on our radar. Thoughts? -Darren

In my Mailman 3 installation there is no /var/log/mailman/subscribe I have logs about confirmations emails in mailman/var/logs/smtp.log the format is the following: Jun 03 13:45:27 2018 (20764) ('127.0.0.1', 40145) handling connection Jun 03 13:45:27 2018 (20764) ('127.0.0.1', 40145) Data: b'LHLO mails.example.com' Jun 03 13:45:27 2018 (20764) ('127.0.0.1', 40145) Data: b'MAIL FROM:<contact(a)maadix.net>' Jun 03 13:45:27 2018 (20764) ('127.0.0.1', 40145) sender: contact(a)example.net Jun 03 13:45:27 2018 (20764) ('127.0.0.1', 40145) Data: b'RCPT TO:<prueba-confirm+7c010b0d89513b26d72cb4642e80447a2280ac86(a)list.example.org>' Jun 03 13:45:27 2018 (20764) ('127.0.0.1', 40145) recip: prueba-confirm+7c010b0d89513b26d72cb4642e80447a2280ac86(a)list.example.org Jun 03 13:45:27 2018 (20764) ('127.0.0.1', 40145) Data: b'DATA' Jun 03 13:45:27 2018 (20764) ('127.0.0.1', 40145) Data: b'QUIT' So, one solution that comes to my mind is to grep this log file. This is not a perfect solution and the full confirmation email is still missing. I am not sure if this would be GDPR compliant.

Urgent help needed...
by Darren Smith 24 May '18

24 May '18

Hello, This morning our Mailman 3/Hyperkitty/Postorius installation has become unresponsive. When looking at the machine, postgres is pegging all 4 CPUs on the machine. We did some digging in postgres, and here is the query that is causing problems: "SELECT hyperkitty_email.date FROM hyperkitty_email WHERE hyperkitty_email.mailinglist_id = 'fooey(a)rootsweb.com' ORDER BY hyperkitty_email.date ASC LIMIT 1;" We have found that it doesn't matter what mailinglist_id is being used. We have also found that this might be an issue with the LIMIT 1 - our investigation is showing that using LIMIT 1 in postgres makes things execute very differently than if you use a limit 2 or more, and that this is probably what is going on. Basically, every time this gets called, it pegs an entire CPU for 20-30 seconds. It appears to be called a LOT. So our users are getting 504 gateway timeouts right now. What has changed: We have been in the process of importing our 40 million archived emails from our old mailman 2 archives. Questions: 1) We have tried doing a grep in the codebase - mailman3, hyperkitty, postorius, django - basically anything that might be calling this code, but we can't find it. Does anyone know what generates this query? 2) We are positing that it might be our archive imports that are causing this problem. Does anyone know of any sort of limit/threshold that might cause this to go haywire? Any help you can give, any direction you can point us would be useful. Right now our lists are just down for our users. Thank you, Darren

Is it possible to use an authenticator with incorrect, missing, or changing email addresses?
by andrew＠fsf.org 24 May '18

24 May '18

Hello Mailman 3 users list, I was wondering if it's possible to set up a CAS authenticator with django-allauth ( https://pypi.org/project/django-allauth-cas/ ) even if we cannot guarantee the correctness of email addresses supplied by our CAS instance? Some contacts may also be missing an email address. I read about this here, and it seems like it wouldn't be possible: http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-web.html#configure-social-login > To see a list of all the providers, please have a look at the documentation of django-allauth. Make sure that the one you choose provides “email” as part of user data, otherwise it won’t work with Mailman. e.g. Twitter doesn’t give out emails. What if a user's email address changes on the CAS server? Will their email address in Mailman 3 be updated the next time they log in? Thanks, Andrew

What implications do GDPR have on Mailman, and how to requiring members to accept registration
by Henrik Rasmussen 23 May '18

23 May '18

In regards to GDPR*) I am wondering if there is any ways I can require my current and future subscribers, members and list administrators to accept registration. I am also concerned that new lists are created with a subscription policy "Confirm" as default, rather than at least "Moderate", which can cause people to be subscribed by others against there will. Also, regardless of this setting, administrators can subscribe people without their knowledge. Away from Gravatar, mentioned in another post, what implications do GDPR have on Mailman? *) http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?qid=1510481733260&uri=CELEX%… Henrik Rasmussen

No archived messages in hyperkitty
by Eric Abrahamsen 12 May '18

12 May '18

I've got mailman3 up on Ubuntu 16.04, in a virtualenv, and (eventually) got everything working mostly okay. My last hurdle is archiving into hyperkitty: the web interface says "no archived list yet". The list I'm starting with is set to archive both to prototype (which I set up in the beginning, before I got hyperkitty going) and to hyperkitty. There appear to be no further boxes I can check, and mailman_hyperkitty.cfg is in place and I think correct. I think it's nearly working because new messages get filed to ./var/archives/hyperkitty/spool, in individual *.pck files, but then these files don't go anywhere, and the archives don't appear in the web view. It could be a problem with cronjobs, with qrunner, or maybe there's just one last hidden switch in a database somewhere that I haven't thrown. But I can't find anything. Any hints? TIA, Eric

List enumeration problem
by kawhite＠ancestry.com 11 May '18

11 May '18

On our mailman instance we see the following enumeration of ALL lists and ALL users consistently every 7.5 minutes. Does anyone know why this would be the case?

Subscribe only to one thread
by Ivan Perez 08 May '18

08 May '18

Dear Mailman users, There are many high-traffic mailing lists in which I would only be interested in receiving messages in specific threads (not all messages, nor some topics, nor a daily digest). Is there a way of "subscribing" to individual threads only, mainly those I initiate, or I actively participate in, but generally not receiving any emails from the list? If not, would others find this useful, and could it be implemented? (I understand that everyone wants features; I just don't know if it's a 2-hour patch or a 2-month project). Best wishes Ivan

Mailman, Supervisor, and keeping things running
by Darren Smith 07 May '18

07 May '18

Hello, Previously I had a problem when upgrading to the newest versions of the mailman modules - and it turns out that everything requires Python 3 or higher. That was fine - I spent some time today moving everything from a Python 2.7 virtual environment to a Python 3.6 virtual environment. What no longer works is Supervisor... The mailman easy install script from Omar Mochtar set up a webui service that runs wsgi and nginx and keeps them running. However...supervisor won't run on python 3.6. I'm not seeing a way to make that work. I've read that you can shim it in, but that it isn't recommended to be used in a production environment. I've looked into circus, and I'm not familiar with it. I'm wondering if anyone has any examples of setting up a service that keeps processes up and running? I've seen circus, but I'm wondering if anyone has an example of how to set it up, or another service that does the same thing? -Darren

Could Mailman3 act like a private forum?
by andrew＠fsf.org 06 May '18

06 May '18

Hello Mailman3 users and maintainers, I'm wondering whether it would be possible for Mailman3 to act like a private forum. I know that Mailman3 has private lists and may allow for custom authenticators. However making some lists private seems to be different than making all list signups and archives public to those who are able to log in, but hidden from all users who cannot. Would Mailman3 be able to act like a forum that hides or shows lists based on whether someone is logged in? Thanks, Andrew

django-mailman3 update causing errors
by Darren Smith 02 May '18

02 May '18

Hello, In attempting to update our mailman3/postorius/hyperkitty installation, I have run into an error after upgrading the django-mailman3 project. Our webui is being run through supervisord. The command being run is this: /<path>/mailman3/conda/envs/mailman3_ext/bin/waitress-serve --listen=localhost:8787 webui.wsgi:application The error I'm getting is pretty long, but most of it appears to be usage instructions. Here are what I believe to be the pertinent parts: Error: Bad module 'webui.wsgi' Usage: waitress-serve [OPTS] MODULE:OBJECT <lots and lots of usage instructions> There was an exception (ImportError) importing your module. It had these arguments: 1. No module named error Any thoughts on why updating django-mailman3 would cause this? Thanks! -Darren

Hyperkitty Archives Empty

I've installed the mailman bundle located here (https://github.com/iomarmochtar/mailman3_ei) and, minus a pip package or two, it was straightforward. Mail & list functionality appears to be working well but I have no archives/thread discussions after posting messages. Delivery, etc.. is all good. Can you offer some suggestions on how to debug the archiving piece? Thanks, ./JK

Rejecting held emails
by Darren Smith 26 Apr '18

26 Apr '18

Hello, We recently had a phishing message make it through our spam filters and arrive at a mailing list. The good news is that since it was not from a list member it was in the held message queue. I was able to find the message in the var/messages directory by searching for a keyword in the subject. However, after rejecting the message from Postorius, the message doesn't seem to be removed from the var/messages directory. Is this expected behavior? I know that infosec people won't be too happy about a phishing email sitting around on our disk. (Infosec guys are notoriously paranoid. :) ) Is there some sort of cleanup process that would remove these messages? If not, does this pose an issue where over time disk usage will creep up? This could be a pretty significant problem if that is the case. What do you think, sirs? -Darren

Disabling Gravatar
by Marvin Gülker 26 Apr '18

26 Apr '18

Hi everyone, I want to make you aware of a potential privacy problem in Mailman's Hyperkitty. Under the upcoming EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)[1], which will be in force as of 2018-05-25, it is illegal to transmit data to third parties without a right to do so. Without going into the details, the inclusion of third party services into one's website is usually deemed such a transmission, and unless one has explicit consent of the user (e.g., by an optional (!), unticked ticking box) this is normally illegal (if one targets EU users). The GDPR does not affect private and family use (Art. 2(2)(c) GDPR), but the exact reach of that clause is yet to be determined; it certainly does not exclude company use of Mailman. I've found it's possible to disable the social login providers quite easily (we had this discussion here on the mailinglist recently), but I don't see an option to disable Gravatar. If there is one, please enlighten me, but anyway I want to propose this as a feature request against Hyperkitty. A GDPR-compliant implementation of Gravatar in Mailman would look like this: * In order to not transmit website visitor's data (IP address, browser info, etc) to Gravatar, Hyperkitty has to request the avatar image itself and not leave that to the user's browsers to do. In other words, the HTTP GET request needs to come from the server running Hyperkitty and the user's browser then just requests the avatar from the Hyperkitty server. Most likely easiest way to do this is to pre-download the avatar when an email is archived. * In order to not transmit the subscribers' data (email address, allows Gravatar to track the subscriber) to Gravatar illegally, the retrieval of the avatar image from Gravatar has to be disabled by default. Instead, an option needs to be added to the subscriber's control panel which he has to actively enable in order to have his Gravatar downloaded and thus used (privacy-by-default rule). I'm not saying Gravatar tracks people and sells the information gathered, though I have doubts on how Automattic makes money with the service. I'm just outlining the legal duties under the upcoming GDPR for service owners, which are independant of how Automattic processes the data in this specific case. Please don't dismiss this as some side feature not needed. The fines that can be imposed on service owners due to violation of the GDPR are very high (up to 20,000,000 € [that's 20 million euros, really]).

Mailman not able to process "big" requests
by Jonas Felber 24 Apr '18

24 Apr '18

Hi, We migrated from mailman2 to mailman3 a week ago. Since then we are unable to send messages the our students through the mailing list. Here are some symptoms: 1. I go to mass subscribe and subscribe 400 emails 2. I click subscribe, the browser (in my case safari) tries to load the page for a few seconds 3. The request times out 4. Once the service becomes responsible again, I see that only part of my emails got subscribed (~50 in this case). For me this really looks like the emails are sent on the "web-thread" that gets killed once the request times out. Looking at this https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/blob/master/src/postorius/views/list.p… <https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/blob/master/src/postorius/views/list.p…> seems to confirm my suspicions. Some quick overview of our infrastructure: The TCP endpoints are: browser -> haproxy in kubernetes-entry-router -> nginx in kubernetes-ingress -> nginx in mailman -> mailman We mitigated the issue by giving it more CPU power and increasing the timeouts in one of the nginx endpoints. We also have a problem with sending out emails to "large" (>50) groups, as they seem to not getting sent out at all. Do you have any idea what the problem here could be? We would be really glad if you can help us getting our mailman up and running, as I currently have to send emails out by "hand". I will happily provide you with more details about our configuration, just let me know what you need.

Another interesting error...

So it appears that there was a message sent to one of our mailing lists that was put into the held message queue. However, when attempting to go to the message to do the moderation, the web page returns and Error 500. Looking in the mailman log, I found this: Apr 23 14:21:02 2018 (17878) REST request handler error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/wsgiref/handlers.py", line 137, in run self.result = application(self.environ, self.start_response) File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/database/transac tion.py", line 50, in wrapper rtn = function(*args, **kws) File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/rest/wsgiapp.py" , line 214, in __call__ return super().__call__(environ, start_response) File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/falcon/api.py", line 227 , in __call__ responder(req, resp, **params) File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/rest/post_modera tion.py", line 167, in on_get resource = self._make_collection(request) File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/rest/helpers.py" , line 159, in _make_collection for resource in collection] File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/rest/helpers.py" , line 159, in <listcomp> for resource in collection] File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/rest/post_modera tion.py", line 157, in _resource_as_dict resource = self._make_resource(request.id) File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/rest/post_modera tion.py", line 100, in _make_resource make_header(decode_header(resource['subject']))) File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/email/header.py", line 174, in make_he ader h.append(s, charset) File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/email/header.py", line 295, in append s = s.decode(input_charset, errors) UnicodeDecodeError: 'gb2312' codec can't decode byte 0x87 in position 2: illegal multibyte sequence It LOOKS as if there might be a character in the email somewhere - possibly in the subject or sender fields? - that is somehow unexpected.

sass error
by Alexander Klotz 20 Apr '18

20 Apr '18

Hi everybody, we tried to make a fresh installation out of the current version following the readme.md - we encounter the following error trying to do so. As mentioned elsewhere, 'sass' has been replaced by 'sassc', however, maybe somewhere there is still a reference to it that may have been overlooked? The answer to a similar error posted to this list in August 2017 unfortunately didn't help either. Any help would be appreciated!

Outgoing messages fro Mailman fails DMARC
by Henrik Rasmussen 19 Apr '18

19 Apr '18

I have set up Postfix to DKIM sign outgoing mails from GNU Mailman 3.2.0a1 which validates nicely ("dkim=pass (signature was verified)"), but DMARC fails ("dmarc=fail action=none") on the recipient end, probably because the "header.from=gmail.com;" (or similar) which means that DKIM d= will not match. According to dmarc.org*) "Mailing lists usually do not take authorship of the emails they relay" so I should "consider to apply specific rules for emails coming from mailing lists". Also according to dmarc.org*) Mailman (Mailman 2 that is, and I presume Mailman 3 does too) "include features to interoperate with DMARC senders". I assume that the dmarc mitigations list settings in Mailman is for incoming messages, but how do I set Mailman to cope with this on outgoing messages? Note: I have more than one list domain in Mailman 3. *) https://dmarc.org/wiki/FAQ#Is_there_special_handling_required_to_receive_DM… /Henrik

Upgrade
by Darren Smith 16 Apr '18

16 Apr '18

Hello all, I'm working on upgrading our mailman3 instance. The current running instance is 3.1.0, and I am attempting to move to 3.2.0a1. Partially because La Villa Strangiato is a better song than Between the Wheels, but mostly because we want some of the bug fixes, and we are nailing down our upgrade process for the future. Initially after updating when I ran the "mailman info" command, I got this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman3/conda/bin/mailman", line 7, in <module> from mailman.bin.mailman import main File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/bin/mailman.py", line 19, in <module> import click ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'click' So I went and installed click - easy enough to do. But then I get this error: "Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman3/conda/bin/mailman", line 11, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 722, in __call__ return self.main(*args, **kwargs) File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 696, in main with self.make_context(prog_name, args, **extra) as ctx: File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 621, in make_context self.parse_args(ctx, args) File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 1018, in parse_args rest = Command.parse_args(self, ctx, args) File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 880, in parse_args value, args = param.handle_parse_result(ctx, opts, args) File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 1404, in handle_parse_result self.callback, ctx, self, value) File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 78, in invoke_param_callback return callback(ctx, param, value) File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/bin/mailman.py", line 93, in initialize_config initialize(value) File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/core/initialize.py", line 219, in initialize initialize_2(propagate_logs=propagate_logs) File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/core/initialize.py", line 178, in initialize_2 config.db = getUtility(IDatabaseFactory, utility_name).create() File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/database/factory.py", line 54, in create database.initialize() File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/database/base.py", line 107, in initialize url, isolation_level='READ UNCOMMITTED', pool_pre_ping=True) File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sqlalchemy/engine/__init__.py", line 387, in create_engine return strategy.create(*args, **kwargs) File "/opt/mailman3/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sqlalchemy/engine/strategies.py", line 160, in create engineclass.__name__)) TypeError: Invalid argument(s) 'pool_pre_ping' sent to create_engine(), using configuration PGDialect_psycopg2/QueuePool/Engine. Please check that the keyword arguments are appropriate for this combination of components." Anyone able to point me where to go to look for a solution for this? We're running postgresql as the database, and psycopg2 has been installed. Thoughts? -Darren

Hello, we're currently unsure in which file the serve_from_domain-entry described in the readme.md regarding mailman-web. We just updated the docker and encounter the following error, which might correspond to the missing entry: OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/opt/mailman-web/fulltext_index' Any help would be appreciated - thanks! -- Regards, Alex Klotz (culturebase editorial staff)

Starting from scratch
by Benjamin Ragheb 12 Apr '18

12 Apr '18

Hello! Over the weekend, I attempted to install the Mailman Suite on Debian Stretch. My goal is to set up some low volume mailing lists for family and friends. I ran into some problems, and I'm hoping to get some feedback on my overall approach before I make my second attempt. :-) I figured the safest thing to do would be to use pip to install the latest released version of all the components (core, postorius, hyperkitty, etc.). I copied the files from the [mailman-suite repository][1] to set up a Django project and got it mostly working with Apache and mod_wsgi. [1]: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-suite Unfortunately, I was unable to log into the web interface; when I tried, I got a server error like this: > Exception Type: TypeError at /accounts/login/ > Exception Value: authenticate() takes exactly 0 arguments (3 given) Some research leads me to believe this is happening because authenticate() was changed in Django 1.10, and so I must be using a newer version of Django than the app expects. Given that I installed via Pip, I assumed the right version of Django would automatically be installed... I'm open to the possibility that I am misunderstanding how Pip works, or that postorius's and/or hyperkitty's dependency information is incorrect. The two alternatives I am weighing right now are: 1. Stay the course, and see if I can fix this by learning more about Python, Pip, Django and tinkering with the configuration. 2. Ride the bleeding edge, and install postorius and hyperkitty from git. (I'll probably stick with Mailman Core from Pip, since that seemed to work just fine.) Right now I'm leaning toward #2, because it means I'll be in a better position to patch things if I need to, and it seems like Mailman 3 is still rough enough that I will need to. Also, it looks like the master branches of both postorius and hyperkitty are now Python 3 compatible, which could save me from managing two different versions of Python. Which is the least crazy option? -- Ben
