Postorius 1.2.3 and MailmanClient 3.2.1 is now out
by Abhilash Raj Feb. 11, 2019

Feb. 11, 2019

Hi All, I am very pleased to announce (a bit late) that Postorius 1.2.3 and MailmanClient 3.2.1 is now out. The full set of changelog can be found in the documentation[1][2]. The most notable feature that I can think of is non-member management in Postorius. New releases are available on PyPI[3][4]. Thanks to all the contributors who made this release possible! :) [1]: https://postorius.readthedocs.io/en/latest/news.html#id2 [2]: https://mailmanclient.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailmanclient/docs/NEWS.… [3]: https://pypi.org/project/mailmanclient/ [4]: https://pypi.org/project/postorius/ -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

mailman start - can't open file

Using MySQL via unix socket
by Torge Riedel Feb. 2, 2019

Feb. 2, 2019

Hi, I'm trying to setup mailman3 on Linux and try to find out how the connection string must look like to let it accept unix sockets. A call to mysql -umailman -p successfully uses the socket on the machine and logs in. I tried mysql+pymysql://mailman:mailmanpass@127.0.0.1/mailman3?charset=utf8&use_unicode=1&unix_socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock as the connection string but it says that mysql server is not available. Which is the same if remove the "unix_socket" parameter. I have found this parameter when searching the net, but I'm not sure if it is supported. Thanks in advance and best regards Torge

Audit Logs
by Enrique Terrazas Jan. 31, 2019

Jan. 31, 2019

Greetings, I’m wondering if there is an “audit log” of sorts to see who made changes to a specific list. What we’re after is a way of tracking, in case requested, who made additions or deletions of subscribers etc. I can see the DELETE commands in the ./mailman/logs/mailman.log file but it doesn’t specifically state who made the request. It can be inferred from the timestamps. I’m just wondering if there is somewhere else I should be looking for this information. Thank you, Enrique J. Terrazas

Issue with mySQLdb-module on Debian
by Bjoern Franke Jan. 24, 2019

Jan. 24, 2019

Hi, I already opened a debian bugreport for it, but I'm still wondering why the following issue appears: File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/db/backends/mysql/base.py", line 30, in <module> 'Did you install mysqlclient or MySQL-python?' % e django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named 'MySQLdb'. Did you install mysqlclient or MySQL-python? python3-pymysql, which is a dependency of mailman3-web and provides mySQLdb, is installed. (Maybe it's time to migrate to postgres.) Kind regards Bjoern

MAILMAN_HOST_IP_AUTO

Dear MM3 list, while doing some reboot proofing for our mailman setup, I once more ran into https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/issues/133. May it be that https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/pull/143 hasn't made it yet into the docker image maxking/mailman-web:0.2 which is the current recommended stable version? Would be real nice (for stability!) to have this feature included. Best regards, Johannes Winter

MIME Digests with posts and index inline likewise Plain Text Digests
by Henrik Rasmussen Jan. 18, 2019

Jan. 18, 2019

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand, Mailman attaches posts in a MIME Digest mail intead of inline in the digest mail itself, like Plain Text Digests does. Some mail readers like Gmail eventually displays attachments inline anyway, but readers like Outlook do not. Also the digest index seems to be posted as an attachment in MIME Digests. Would it be possible for Mailman to send both posts and index inline in the MIME digest? I am pretty sure it's not a feature yet, but if Mailman would be able to, I will submit an issue in core (I presume). /Henrik Rasmussen

MM3 Docker
by Odhiambo Washington Jan. 11, 2019

Jan. 11, 2019

[Requesting everyone to be patient with me because I am not so good with Linux, Docker is a completely new thing to me, and MM3, well....] So, I have a VM running Ubuntu-18.04. It is in a Data Centre somewhere. It has an IP n.n.n.n (a public IP). Also, it does not have high resources. However, I hope I can at least get to install MM3 and test it using https://asynchronous.in/docker-mailman/ If I could run MM3 using the apt-get install method, perhaps that would have made my life a bit easier, hoping that MM3 can actually be run in parallel with MM2.1 on the same host. Is anyone doing that already?? Anyway, I need some hand-holding using the docker method for now. I am reading the steps as documented on the https://asynchronous.in/docker-mailman/ and somethings aren't clear to me: I have created two files: (a) /opt/mailman/web/settings_local.py: SERVE_FROM_DOMAIN: 'mm3.my.co.ke' ALLOWED_HOSTS: 'my.co.ke' HYPERKITTY_API_KEY: 'Whatever' MAILMAN_ADMIN_USER: 'admin' MAILMAN_ADMIN_EMAIL: 'odhiambo(a)gmail.com' SECRET_KEY: 'Whatever' EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' EMAIL_HOST = '172.19.199.1' EMAIL_PORT = 25 (b) /opt/mailman/core/mailman-extra.cfg HYPERKITTY_API_KEY: 'Whatever' DATABASE_URL: 'mysql+pymysql://mailman:mailmanpass@database/mailmandb' DATABASE_TYPE: 'mysql' DATABASE_CLASS: 'mailman.database.mysql.MySQLDatabase' Questions: Are the formats correct?

digests are created but not sent out
by "Jörg M. Schulz" Jan. 9, 2019

Jan. 9, 2019

sudo -u list mailman digests -vp tells that the most recent digest has been sent, but nobody receives these digests. No mail or other log file has any clue what has happened. digest_queue = config.switchboards['digest'] >>> digest_queue <mailman.core.switchboard.Switchboard object at 0x7f9c8ed14940> >>> digest_queue.files [] m.digest_send_periodic = True Normal, non-digest messages are sent correctly. Administrative messages as well. Using GNU Mailman 3.2.0 (La Villa Strangiato) Where could I look for errors / stuck queues? /var/lib/mailman3/lists /var/lib/mailman3/lists/mailman.unswolke.de /var/lib/mailman3/lists/mailman.unswolke.de/digest.2.3.mmdf /var/lib/mailman3/lists/mailman.unswolke.de/digest.3.2.mmdf /var/lib/mailman3/lists/mailman.unswolke.de/digest.4.2.mmdf /var/lib/mailman3/lists/mailman.unswolke.de/digest.2.6.mmdf /var/lib/mailman3/lists/mailman.unswolke.de/digest.2.4.mmdf /var/lib/mailman3/lists/mailman.unswolke.de/digest.4.1.mmdf /var/lib/mailman3/lists/mailman.unswolke.de/digest.3.1.mmdf /var/lib/mailman3/lists/mailman.unswolke.de/digest.mmdf /var/lib/mailman3/lists/mailman.unswolke.de/digest.4.3.mmdf

Docker-mailman (performance?): "AH00894: declining URL", "AH01077: declining URL", "AH01105: NOT Closing connection", "AH01076: url: ... proxyname: (null) proxyport: 0"
by Henrik Rasmussen Jan. 9, 2019

Jan. 9, 2019

I am using docker-mailman with GNU Mailman 3.2.0 (La Villa Strangiato). Even I have had no complains previously, a list admin have received proxy errors a couple of days. Right after one occurrence I immediately looked at the logs and while I had no related errors in the log files in /var/log/mailman/web/{uwsgi,uwsgi-error,mailmanweb}.log, the Apache log often shows "AH00894: declining URL", "AH01077: declining URL", "AH01105: NOT Closing connection", "AH01076: url: ... proxyname: (null) proxyport: 0". The errors seems to go back a long time, also on previous versions of Mailman, but no one have complained about it until now. Apache is version 2.4.6 on a RHEL 7 assuming Red Hat have backported any bugs about timeout previously know as hardcoded timeout of 30s etc. I assume therefore that even Mailman did not indicate any errors, it may have been too slow to respond. The server does not seem to be slow at all. Is there a way I can enhance the performance of Mailman (Docker)? I've asked about performance previously, but as I don't think my current question is related to REST, it's probably not related to https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/….

Getting Archives to work - new setup on Ubuntu 18.04 (with mailman3-full pkg)
by kelly.close＠lrewater.com Jan. 8, 2019

Jan. 8, 2019

Happy New Year! I'm setting up my first Mailman 3 server and was delighted to find a distribution package for Ubuntu 18.04, since that's the environment I'm most familiar with working in, that installs an integrated mailman3-hyperkitty-postorius setup. The package install plus the additional config steps in the included README files have gotten me oh-so-very close! What isn't working yet are the archives, specifically the messages sent to lists showing up at .../mailman3/hyperkitty. I'm at a loss and I'm hoping maybe the folks on this list can help me bring it home. Messages are distributed to subscribers as they should be - subscribers can send from their emails or from the web site. People can subscribe, etc. It's all working great. Just no archives. I am able to successfully run these django-admin processes without errors (described here: http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-web.html#scheduled-tasks-required) I've run them all manually and then I've been running the minutely and hourly ones manually after each test message I send (haven't set up the actual cron jobs yet). I'm not sure what to try next or what info to provide here for help - can anyone suggest where I can look to see why archives aren't getting created, or let me know what information would be essential for me to post to get help on this? I'm using PostgreSQL for the database, Postfix for mail and Apache2 for the web server. Thanks for your time! ~Kelly

$member does not appear to be dereferencing correctly in moderated subscription requests
by Joel Lord Jan. 8, 2019

Jan. 8, 2019

So I'm having an issue with a new 3.2 install. All the lists I have are set to confirm + approve on new subscriptions, but it seems that no matter how a new subscription come in, it does not actually pass the applicant's name to the moderator. I've tested now with a new email address previously unknown to the system and made sure I filled in the name field in the form. I've tested with an email address previously KNOWN to the system (subscribed to other lists) that has its display name fields filled in AND filled in the name on the subscription form, and yet again with that account having cleared out the display name fields associated with the account. In all cases I was careful to be sure to fill in the name on the subscription form. Buried somewhere in the templates documenation I found that the $member template variable in the list:admin:action:subscribe.txt template is supposed to be both the email address and the display name of the person applying to subscribe, but it just doesn't appear to be coming up as more than just the email address. Have I missed something horribly, or did I come across a bug? -- Joel Lord

Hi all. I'm trying to upgrade my mailman2 installation to version 3. I thought lets test with on list first. I imported the list with: mailman import21 bla(a)lists.blabla.de bla/config.pck. This went well. Now i try to send an email to bla(a)lists.blabla.de but the message only got delivered to the mailman host. Jan 03 14:43:44 2019 (10434) Peer: ('127.0.0.1', 38784) Jan 03 14:43:44 2019 (10434) ('127.0.0.1', 38784) handling connection Jan 03 14:43:44 2019 (10434) ('127.0.0.1', 38784) Data: b'LHLO shinymail.eu' Jan 03 14:43:44 2019 (10434) ('127.0.0.1', 38784) Data: b'MAIL FROM:<himbeere(a)meine-oma.de>' Jan 03 14:43:44 2019 (10434) ('127.0.0.1', 38784) sender: himbeere(a)meine-oma.de Jan 03 14:43:44 2019 (10434) ('127.0.0.1', 38784) Data: b'RCPT TO:<bla(a)lists.blabla.de>' Jan 03 14:43:44 2019 (10434) ('127.0.0.1', 38784) recip: bla(a)lists.blabla.de Jan 03 14:43:44 2019 (10434) ('127.0.0.1', 38784) Data: b'DATA' Jan 03 14:43:45 2019 (10434) ('127.0.0.1', 38784) Data: b'QUIT' Jan 03 14:43:45 2019 (10434) ('127.0.0.1', 38784) connection lost Jan 03 14:43:45 2019 (10434) Connection lost during _handle_client() No messages ar actually delivered to the list members.

mailman3-suite not sending confirmation emails
by ccehb＠nus.edu.sg Jan. 4, 2019

Jan. 4, 2019

Hi, This is my first experience using mailman. I recently downloaded and setup mailman3 suite which comes with hyperkitty. I don't really understand why the email is not working. I had an external smtp server (mymailserver.com) residing on different IP from my web server that hosts mailman stuff. I had modified settings.py with debug = False and added the following: EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' EMAIL_HOST = 'mymailserver.com' EMAIL_PORT = 25 I also added these inside mailman.cfg [mta] outgoing: mailman.mta.deliver.deliver lmtp_host: 127.0.0.1 lmtp_port: 8024 smtp_host: mymailserver.com smtp_port: 25 Thanks for your help! I check the logs but there isn't anything. When I sign up, nothing happens and I can't figure out why?

Mailman3 and Centos 7
by brian＠emwd.com Jan. 3, 2019

Jan. 3, 2019

Just a heads up for those wanting to install Mailman3 on a Centos 7 server, be aware of FirewallD. There are a number of ports and services you have to tell it to allow in order to get Mailman3 functional. More experienced sysadmins might know this but I did not.

How to get Mailman core to provide more debug info in a running environment
by Henrik Rasmussen Jan. 3, 2019

Jan. 3, 2019

Docker-mailman 0.1.1 I am using Mailman 3.1 in production and I am trying to debug a problem[1] so I tried to setting Mailman to provide more debug info in the smtp.log file[2]. I might have been doing it wrong, but in the mailman-extra.cfg I set [logging.smtp-failure] path: smtp.log and restarted Mailman, which stopped incoming mails until removing the added section. What is the correct way to get Mailman to provide more debug info in the smtp.log 1) https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… 2) http://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/config/docs/config.html… Henrik Rasmussen

Customizing Look and Feel?
by Joel Lord Dec. 31, 2018

Dec. 31, 2018

Is it possible to customize the look at feel of the web interface at all? I have some lists that really require that subscription requests include full name, to make the workload on the moderators, well, workable in keeping a closed list tight. I've found where the "Your name (optional)" text is in list_forms.py, but modifying that strikes me as a poor plan. Changing that text would be lovely. Actually making that field required would be seriously awesome. Is this possible in the current code base (3.2.0) without doing ill-advised things modifying source code? Thanks! -- Joel Lord Web Administrator, Alpha Psi Omega Grand Cast etc... etc... etc...

Converting non-members to members
by Alan So Dec. 27, 2018

Dec. 27, 2018

Postorius is not currently exposing non-members management. Our Mailman 2 users are currently using accept_these_nonmembers, hold_these_nonmembers and reject_these_nonmembers. We know that mailman import21 will change these to nonmembers entries in Mailman 3. Since list owners will still want to manage them, we tend to move all of them to members and turn off delivery status for them. However, we met some difficulties when we try to develop using mailman client. 1) If those non-members addresses already exist as members, we will encounter error when we subscribe for them: urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 409: b'Member already subscribed' 2) We cannot change the moderation_action: urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: b'Cannot convert parameters: moderation_action' 3) We cannot change the preference: urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: b'Cannot convert parameters: delivery_status' Are there any better ways to enable the list owners to manage those previously configured nonmembers' addresses through the web? Otherwise, we probably need to have some manual effort to overcome the above three issues. We know that we can always do the above manually but we got a lot of lists to migrate to Mailman 3.

Docker Installation of Mailman -- The Hyperkitty Chronicles

Using Maxking's docker project to install mailman3, I have a fairly functional mailman3 installation. However Hyperkitty is not archiving or showing list participants like: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/ This is my page: https://mailman3.emwd.com/hyperkitty/list/testlist@mailman3.emwd.com/ The docker documents really don't say much about getting HK up and running.

Mailman3 and Exim setup
by brian＠emwd.com Dec. 21, 2018

Dec. 21, 2018

I am installing Mailman3 via the Docker image provided by maxking. In his instructions he says: "To use Exim4, it should be setup to relay emails from 172.19.199.3 and 172.19.199.2." I am not sure where in the exim.conf file this is done. I took a guess at: hostlist relay_from_hosts = localhost : 172.19.199.3 : 172.19.199.2 Was my guess wrong?

Mailman3 via Docker and NGINX
by brian＠emwd.com Dec. 19, 2018

Dec. 19, 2018

I have Mailman3 installed on CentOS 7 using maxking's docker image. I believe the installation went fine and running "curl http://172.19.199.3:8000/postorius/lists/" produces the correct output. I also will be using exim and nginx with this installation. It seems I am stuck with the nginx setup. I created a sitename.com.conf file in the /etc/nginx/conf.d folder. I have the following inputted there: server { listen 80; server_name `sitename.com`; location /static/ { alias /opt/mailman/web/static/; } location / { include uwsgi_params; uwsgi_pass 172.19.199.3:8000; uwsgi_read_timeout 300; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; } } However when I go to http://sitename.com (obviously using an alias here for privacy reasons) I get the default nginx index page. Do I need to add anything to the main nginx.conf file to be able to see my mailman3 installation? Thank you for any assistance, Brian Carpenter

Templates
by David Krantz Dec. 19, 2018

Dec. 19, 2018

Hi. How do I set a template for one specific list? I want one list to have a special footer template. I have tried updating the database (template table) without effect so apparently the database is not used for templates or some kind of fallback is used to set it to the generic footer. Of course I also tried to restart mailman after that operation to try to rule out any caching-related problem. I want to use a file://-path as that is the least painful way of doing it. I also would like a solution to place a file in a special location. My current templates are in a .../var/templates/site/en/ structure with names like list:member:generic:footer.txt Cheers // David

Newbie Wants To Know About Multiple Lists
by Christopher Garwood Dec. 19, 2018

Dec. 19, 2018

Howdy, I am new to Mailman and there are so many things I would like to know. Before I try to find out how to install and configure the software, I need to know if, how and what is required for us to set up this software to deal with more than one email list. I am working with a plan to setup a CentOS VPS on which Mailman will be hosted. The objective is to host and administrate mailing list for the 3 entities that I am directly involved with. These lists must function completely unrelated to each other including the email addresses from which the emails & news letters are sent from. If this is possible can I be given information or a link to how it can be done and what is required?

Hyperkitty archives - new list not archived
by vaarcilal＠eafit.edu.co Dec. 12, 2018

Dec. 12, 2018

Hi!! I'm running mailman 3.2 on Ubuntu server 18.04. Installed it via pip inside a conda virtual environment. I'm having problems related to hyperkitty on which I'd really appreciate some help. When I try to access the archives of a mailing list named 'test-nov' it redirects me to 'example.com/hyperkitty/list/test-nov@example.com/', where a 404 appears and a 'No archived mailing-list by that name.' message is thrown by hyperkitty.views.mlist.overview. I'm not very experienced with django, so I could have made a mistake on any configuration. I have not configured an MX for my mail server yet, so I'm able to send emails but I can't recieve emails for my lists. Is this somehow related to a misconfigurated MTA? Which logs should I take into account? Regards, Vincent.

Mailman3-Web lots of database queries
