Mailman 3 Container Images v0.1
by Abhilash Raj June 26, 2017

June 26, 2017

Hi Everyone, I have been working on containerizing Mailman 3 so that it becomes easier to test and try Mailman 3. There are two images in total: * maxking/mailman-core : This consists of Mailman Core and includes the plugin to enable the Hyperkitty Archiver. * maxking/mailman-web : This consists of a full Django installation and run the Mailman's Web UI components. It has Mailman Client, Postorius & Hyperkitty. The images are built from the Dockerfiles hosted on Github[3] in case you want to look at it. You can find most of the documentation about these images at https://asynchronous.in/docker-mailman/. The version of the internal components included in each image is available here[7]. The images are versioned and the process is documented[4], please have a look before you use them. Also, the images are signed and I encourage you to verify them before using. The process of how-to verify is also documented. Docker Compose is a tool written in Python makes is very easy to deploy connected-images and take the pain out of writing long long commands for spinning of containers. There is a sample `docker-compose.yml` file in the Github repository mentioned above which is kind-of tested to be able to spin off these images in vanilla condition (without any customization/configuration). You can report issues, comments or concerns in the Github repo[6].

API Question: map list -> UI URL?
by tlhackque＠yahoo.com June 24, 2017

June 24, 2017

Using the REST API, how do I get from a list / list configuration to the URL of the management GUI? I've looked through the data returned by the API and even the SQL schemas; I don't see the path. Am I missing something, or do I need to log an issue for this? I'm not particularly interested in the subscriber pages, but it ought to be possible to get there too... Thanks.

Topics? First bug...
by tlhackque June 21, 2017

June 21, 2017

Hi, I'd like to deploy a new project on Mailman 3, which I prototyped on 2.1). Unfortunately, it's organized as one mailing list with ~ 120 topics. (The project follows another source, and it's much easier to spin up (or down) a new topic than to instantiate & manage a new list.) I see that the latest Mailman 3 release (Congrats!) doesn't support topics yet. Where is that on your todo list? First bug: Looking at https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/. If I set "results per page" to a large number & switch months, results per page reverts to the default (10). It should stick with whatever I select... It also would be nice to have an account preference for this, so it doesn't have to be set on each visit.

I agree to Simon's suggestion that you should use HTTPS for all communications for Postorius. However, if you really want to, it is possible to change the behavior using a configuration parameter in django-allauth which is what controls the user signup and email verification. ACCOUNT_DEFAULT_HTTP_PROTOCOL (=”http”) If you set the above to "http" in your django's settings.py, it should then generate urls with http.

Http/Https
by Bill June 14, 2017

June 14, 2017

Hi folks, We're setting up Mailman 3.1 and so far installation has been good and we're now in the testing phase. We've run into a snag with the account signup function on Postorius. When Postorius sends an email to the user to confirm their address, it displays a link using the https protocol. This doesn't work. But, if we manually change the protocol to http it will work, confirm the address and take us back to Postorius. Is this a known bug or have we committed a configuration error? All assistance appreciated. Bill -- Sent using Icedove on Debian GNU/Linux.

Is deleting threads from the archive (via Hyperkitty) currently supported? I am getting the error indicated above if I click on "Delete this thread". Is there another way to delete whole threads or individual posts? Simon

Editing "automatic responses" tab i Postorius does not work
by David Krantz May 26, 2017

May 26, 2017

Hi, I am trying to change e.g. the value of "notify admin on membership changes" through postorius. This is not possible as I have no URLs for the various templates (all templates are using defaults stored on the server). Is this something that can be circumvented or fixed? I can of course change admin_notify_mchanges in the "mailman withlist" interface, but this is less than ideal. best regards // David

ANNOUNCE: Mailman 3.1.0 final!
by Barry Warsaw May 26, 2017

May 26, 2017

Hello Mailpeople! On behalf of the entire team and all our wonderful contributors, I'm happy to announce the release of GNU Mailman 3.1 final. My deep thanks go to all the Mailman project sprinters at Pycon 2017 for getting us over the line! Two years after the original release of Mailman 3.0, this version contains a huge number of improvements across the entire stack. Many bugs have been fixed and new features added in the Core, Postorius (web u/i), and HyperKitty (archiver). Upgrading from Mailman 2.1 should be better too. We are seeing more production sites adopt Mailman 3, and we've been getting great feedback as these have rolled out. Important: mailman-bundler, our previous recommended way of deploying Mailman 3, has been deprecated. Abhilash Raj is putting the finishing touches on Docker images to deploy everything, and he'll have a further announcement in a week or two. Feedback is welcome: https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman What is GNU Mailman? GNU Mailman is free software for managing electronic mail discussion and e-newsletter lists. Mailman is integrated with the web, making it easy for users to manage their accounts and for list owners to administer their lists. Mailman supports built-in archiving, automatic bounce processing, content filtering, digest delivery, and more. Mailman 3 is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 3. The best places to start for all things related to this release: http://docs.mailman3.org/ http://www.list.org/ https://gitlab.com/mailman (Note: due to timezone skew, some of the tarballs may not be available on PyPI until tomorrow.) Happy Mailman Day, -Your friendly neighborhood cabal An overview of what's new in Mailman 3.1 ======================================== Feature parity with Mailman 2.1 ------------------------------- * You should be able to do just about everything that you could do in Mailman 2.1 *except* for topics and sibling/umbrella lists. Core ---- * Added support for Python 3.5 and 3.6 * MySQL is now an officially supported database * Many improvements with importing Mailman 2.1 lists * DMARC mitigations have been added, based on, but different than the same feature in Mailman 2.1 * The REST API requires HTTP/1.1 * A new REST API version (3.1) has been added which changes how UUIDs are interpreted, fixing the problem for some JavaScript libraries * Many new REST resources and methods have been added * Individual mailing lists can augment the system's header matching rules * `mailman create` now creates missing domains by default * `mailman digests` now has `--verbose` and `--dry-run` options * `mailman shell` now supports readline history * `mailman members` can filter members based on their subscription roles * A new template system has been added for all messages originating from inside Mailman. * The Message-ID-Hash header replaces X-Message-ID-Hash * New placeholders have been added for headers and footers * Unsubscriptions can now be confirmed and/or moderated Postorius/HyperKitty -------------------- * General U/I and U/X improvements * Many more features from the Core's have been plumbed through * We've adopted Django social auth logins and dropped Persona (since it's no longer supported upstream). You can now log in via Facebook, Google, GitHub, and GitLab. Backward incompatibilities -------------------------- * Core/REST: Held message resources now have an `original_subject` key that is not RFC 2047 decoded. `subject` is now RFC 2047 decoded. * Core/REST: If you've run pre-release versions from git head, and stored welcome and goodbye templates via REST, the template key names have changed backward incompatibility.

Multiple header_checks in mailman.cfg. How?
by Simon Liebold May 20, 2017

May 20, 2017

Hello, What is the correct syntax if I wanted to perform multiple header checks? header_checks: X-Spam: (yes|maybe) header_checks: x-another-header: (some|any)thing or: header_checks: X-Spam: (yes|maybe) x-another-header: (some|any)thing or: header_checks: ['X-Spam: (yes|maybe)', 'x-another-header: (some|any)thing'] Or something completely different? I don't think it is the first two because "mailman conf -s antispam" shows only a single header_checks. But the 3rd variant doesn't work either.

Character set for postorius

Hi, I'd like to have my descriptions of maillists with the correct characters for my languages... Where is the character set for this determined? If I input e.g. 'è' (è) or 'ö' (ö) it is substituted with a '?'. Of course the html entities are not allowed either, the ampersand '&' is escaped somewhere between output and input. Cheers // David

reason for breaching max_message_size is "N/A"
by David Krantz May 1, 2017

May 1, 2017

Hi. Today I learned to things: The default max_message_size is 40kB. Messages larger than that are blocked (expected) with the reason "N/A" (not expected). The reason would be helpful to me as admin. Also: Is there any way to set a server default for this as it is a bit of a hassle to change it from the command line for each new list. I can of course find where in the code to change but that seems the wrong way to me. Cheers // David

Any good ideas on how to troubleshoot django allauth
by David Krantz April 27, 2017

April 27, 2017

Hi again. Allauth works for me... sometimes... For google logins it works most of the time. For facebook it almost never works. When it does not work, I get an error page with the error "An error occurred while attempting to login via your social network account." (or the equivalent in my locale). If I then reload the page, I get logged in! In some cases I get the error and the little green popup saying that I am logged in at the same time. Strange. So... If there is any documentation for how to set up or how to troubleshoot django allauth I am all ears (eyes, really). I have tested the "missing howto..." and updated version of that without enough success. Cheers // David The only thing I find is in the Apache log: (I have removed all cryptovalues and other things that should be uninteresting to others) [LOCAL_IP] - - [19/Apr/2017:00:00:39 +0000] "GET /accounts/facebook/login/?process=login&next=%2Farchives%2F HTTP/1.1" 302 706 "https://lists.example.com/accounts/login/?next=/archives/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.116 Safari/537.36 Edge/15.15063" [LOCAL_IP] - - [19/Apr/2017:00:00:53 +0000] "GET /accounts/facebook/login/callback/?code=[LONG CRYPTO-LOOKING STRING] HTTP/1.1" 200 2129 "https://www.facebook.com/login/reauth.php?app_id=[MY_APP_ID_I_THINK]&signed…" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.116 Safari/537.36 Edge/15.15063"

Patch/kludge suggestion and a question on adding accepted addresses
by David Krantz April 25, 2017

April 25, 2017

Hi. I found out that I had a broken email in one of my held messages queues). That gave a HTTP 500 error although that should be fixed . After some digging I found out that where the error occured. I'd suggest adding a catch for AttributeError similar to the one for KeyError in _HeldMessageBase in rest/post_moderation.py. It solved my immediate problem at least. I run the version from git with the tag 263711b3b7988c7c474e3b8952dc7e0f02f04fa2 The message causing this was probably one where I had sent a minimal email via telnet to the SMTP port and forgot the MessageID-header or something similarily silly. But it prevented me from seeing the held messages-list in postorius. I have another question: In the old mailman you could add accepted senders without adding them to the list. Is that possible in Mailman 3/Postorius? cheers. // David

The updated documentation[1] should fix your problem. The basic gist of the problem is that the exim configuration on the older documentation is missing a critical part. Exim4 by default strips off any prefixes/suffixes when delivering mail to the mailman, which causes mailman to post all the messages to mailing list instead of processing them as commands. `rcpt_include_affixes = true` Adding the above line to the transport fixes that problem.

Incoming command emails (i.e. listname-leave) routed to list itself
by Mark Lindsay April 21, 2017

April 21, 2017

Hi mailman-users, I'm new to Mailman 3 and Mailman in general, but I've got it up and running, and my external app is communicating quite well with the administrative REST API. Here's the only problem I haven't been able to figure out: Say I have a list called "potato." List members can post to the list by emailing potato(a)lists.mydomain.org. This works fine. However, incoming mail for command addresses (e.g. potato-leave(a)lists.mydomain.org) is routed to the list too. The command email gets sent out to all members, as if the user who wanted to unsubscribe had just written to potato(a)lists.mydomain.org. This is also the case with the potato-request(a)lists.mydomain.org address. I am using exim4 on Ubuntu. I followed the instructions here: http://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/release-3.0/src/mailman/docs/MTA.html. The only change I had to make to the exim4 config files in the readthedocs instructions was in this line: MM3_LISTCHK=MM3_HOME/lists/${local_part}@${domain} I had to change it to: MM3_LISTCHK=MM3_HOME/lists/${local_part}.${domain} That is how the subdirectories are named in my lists directory. e.g. potato.lists.mydomain.org. If I use the exact MM3_LISTCHK value from readthedocs, I get 550 Unrouteable bounces. Here are some baffling lines from /var/log/exim4/mainlog from the incoming potato-leave(a)lists.mydomain.org email: 2017-04-21 00:25:03 1d1MNj-0007OQ-5r DKIM: d=nervous-org.20150623. gappssmtp.com s=20150623 c=relaxed/relaxed a=rsa-sha256 [verification succeeded] 2017-04-21 00:25:03 1d1MNj-0007OQ-5r <= redacted(a)nervous.org H= mail-qk0-f170.google.com [209.85.220.170] P=esmtp S=2466 id= CABPy5zyQtJHXtCgrN37GHCUOjuo3J=DO_j0ZD03zm8gk+4shww(a)mail.gmail.com 2017-04-21 00:25:03 1d1MNj-0007OQ-5r => potato(a)lists.mydomain.org < potato-leave(a)lists.mydomain.org> R=mailman3_router T=mailman3_transport H=localhost [127.0.0.1] C="250 Ok" 2017-04-21 00:25:03 1d1MNj-0007OQ-5r Completed Why does it say `potato(a)lists.mydomain.org <potato-leave(a)lists.mydomain.org >`? I think this is actually an exim4 problem, so if the solution is to just switch to postfix, then I will definitely do that. But I'm just asking in case someone had a similar issue with exim4 and was able to work through it. Thanks a lot, Mark

Memory footprint
by David Krantz April 19, 2017

April 19, 2017

Hi. Now running mailman 3 I am a bit surprised that the memory footprint is so large. I count to 13 processes with each a virtual space of 160-250MB and a reserved space of about 50MB each. Not much, but quite much to run on smaller cloud instances which generally have limited memory. This is (a lot) more than the corresponding postgres installation uses, Is this normal? regards // David

Installing MM3 requires Django<1.11
by Henrik Rasmussen April 12, 2017

April 12, 2017

Two questions regarding Mailman 3 installation: 1) The Mail server setup at http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/devsetup.html#set-up-a-mail-server isn't described yet. Instead it refers to https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/email/#topic-email-backends, but it doesn't say which file I have to change. According to https://www.webforefront.com/django/setupdjangoemail.html the file is called settings.py, but the only settings.py I can find at this stage is the /opt/mailman/postorius/example_project/settings.py file. According to http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/devsetup.html#set-up-and-run-postorius, "Postorius and HyperKitty both come with example_project directories with basic configuration so you can try them out. For this tutorial, however, we'll be using a project that combines both instead.". In what file should I change the mail settings then? 2) While installing Hyperkitty*) I got the error message "Django 1.11rc1 is installed but Django<1.11 is required by {'django-haystack'}". As I have slavishly followed the installation guide including http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/devsetup.html#set-up-django-mailman3, I wonder why a non-supported Django version was installed. *) http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/devsetup.html#set-up-and-run-hyperkitty Regards Henrik

Deploying mailman3 using containers
by Abhilash April 10, 2017

April 10, 2017

Hi All, I have been working for the past two weeks on trying to create a solution to easily deploy Mailman 3 in production. For those interested, you can find the instructions about how to use my work at http://asynchronous.in/docker-mailman/. I have tried to document the process as much as possible. This is still a work in progress, but I have a working deployment[1] using these containers. I try to keep the deployment updated with the github repo, but there is no automated deploy happening there so sometimes it gets out of sync. While this is aimed to finally become a production ready method to deploy mailman 3, it is still not there. All I can say at this point is that it works. I have tried my best to document everything and I keep updating the documentation whenever I feel anything needs more clarity. I would love some feedback to improve the process or documentation. You can open issues on the github repo[2]. Currently, container images are built from the master branch of the gitlab repos and are thus not branded as stable. I am waiting for 3.1 release to add a stable tag to the images. [1]: https://mail.araj.me/ [2]: https://github.com/maxking/mailman -- thanks, Abhilash Raj

How to set up mailman 3
by David Krantz March 26, 2017

March 26, 2017

Hi. I have tried and failed to set up mailman 3 using the mailman_bundle. I get the mailman3 server running correctly, but the problem is the extremely sensitive web user interface... Now when I found this mail list I understand that mailman bundle is depricated and that I must restart from scratch. Is this true? This annoys me quite a lot, can someone responsible within the project please mark the deprecated package as such? Almost none of the documentation is completely correct. It is useful but very incomplete. The mailman_bundle generated configuration examples for e.g. apache simply is wrong or incomplete. That said I got it running using http only, but when I switched to HTTPS the login simply ceased working. I use password+username as the other solution is quite complicated to get running. I could of course switch to e.g. google login, but that would require at least some documentation on how to do that. So, is there any documentation on how to use mailman 3? The error I get now is "Please enter a correct username and password. Note that both fields may be case-sensitive." I know that I enter the correct password as it worked before I added HTTPS. Sorry for the rant, but I am very annoyed by this. I just need a mail list server that works and thought it would be very neat to run mailman3 after running a hoste mailman2 for many years. Best regards // David

Mailman 3 Status Update Please?
by ddw David Wilson Feb. 1, 2017

Feb. 1, 2017

Barry et al; I have been eagerly looking forward to a comprehensive install script for Mailman3 since the originally stated target date of Aug Sept and wondered if any new dates have been proposed? Furthermore, I wonder if either of the two following projects have been proposed for Google Summer of Code applications: 1) the afore mentioned comprehensive install script for Mailman3 on various targeted hardware; and/or; 2) updated for Python 3 and the latest P3 compatible Django utilities for archiving and email list collection, along with any new appropriate features? Many thanks in advance for all your efforts in this extremely worthwhile OSS project. Best regards. Dave Wilson

HTTP-500, create_http_method_map(resource, None, None) ?
by Sim Dec. 18, 2016

Dec. 18, 2016

Previously posted on mailman-users(a)python.org. But this seems to be a better place for it. ---------- Hello List, I was following the [mailman-bundler](https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-bundler/) installation instructions. After starting Django for the first time (before changes to the Postfix configuration and without any pre-existing lists) I received an HTTP-500 from http://127.0.0.1:8000/mailman3.

Mailman 3.1 beta coming soon
by Barry Warsaw Dec. 13, 2016

Dec. 13, 2016

Hello Mailman 3 users and developers! It's been a long slog but I think we are finally ready to begin the release process for Mailman 3.1. I am pretty happy about the state of the Core, and Florian is going to do some more integration testing with HyperKitty and Postorius. We still have a few issues and a merge proposal or two to address, but I am planning to spin a beta of Core this weekend to facilitate testing. Here is the Core's 3.1 milestone page: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/milestones/2 If your favorite issue or merge request isn't on that list, please do get in touch. Otherwise it will be deferred to 3.2. I'm also not entirely promising I'll get to all of these; I really want to release 3.1 in 2016 so if we run out of time, it will get deferred. Here's the project-wide list of 3.1 issues: https://gitlab.com/groups/mailman/issues?scope=all&state=opened&utf8=%E2%9C… and merge requests: https://gitlab.com/groups/mailman/merge_requests?scope=all&state=opened&utf… Except that HyperKitty isn't on this list. Please do test whatever you can and let us know how it goes.

Docker files for mailman
by Simon Hanna Nov. 19, 2016

Nov. 19, 2016

Hi, I started working on docker files for Mailman. I created three repositories: - https://github.com/simonsmiley/postorius-docker Holds the files needed to create a postorius container - https://github.com/simonsmiley/mailman-docker Holds the files needed to create a core container - https://github.com/simonsmiley/mailman-compose Holds docker-compose files that greatly simply the process of running the containers * The mailman repo currently lacks documentation * Currently no emails can be sent. I still have to figure out what the best way is... * Hyperkitty will be added next (together with a complete "bundler" install) I pushed two images to the docker hub. Their names are thelinuxguy/postorius and thelinuxguy/mailman I created two organizations mailman on docker hub and gnu-mailman on github https://github.com/gnu-mailman https://hub.docker.com/u/mailman/ I know we shouldn't use github, but there is no way around github/bitbucket for automated builds on docker hub. I post here to inform you about the docker images and I also to ask if I'm allowed to keep these two organizations and move my images/repos there. I'll happily give push/owner access to additional people if requested. The repositories could be mirrored to the gitlab mailman group, sadly the process doesn't work the other way round just yet. In case this request gets denied, I'll just remove the organizations and let the images be "unofficial". cheers, Simon

Mailman 3 Social Auth Configuration
by emonical＠misfitlabs.org Oct. 13, 2016

Oct. 13, 2016

Hello. I am a new Mailman 3 user and have just gotten an environment configured using the Mailman bundler. The setup is almost complete, but, there's still Persona authorization. I was reading the your setup here from (https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Mailman%203%20installation%20experience) and was wondering if someone might have some insight as to how to remove the Persona log in to keep it locked down entirely to localized user registration.

lists.mailman3.org web site.
by Mark Sapiro Aug. 30, 2016

Aug. 30, 2016

I have just upgraded the lists.mailman3.org Mailman 3 installation to the heads of the GitLab mailman* branches. A major change is the switch from Persona to Django Allauth. This requires some configuration which isn't yet complete. Hopefully it will all be working very soon. In the mean time if you want to log in to Hyperkitty/Postorius you should be able to log in with your email address. The first time you do this, Mailman probably won't even know your password so you'll have to request a reset. Once you have reset your password, you should be able to log in. I hope to have several social auth choices working very soon. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

Mailman 3 Installation Packaging
by ddw David Wilson Aug. 30, 2016

Aug. 30, 2016

Salutations; I understand that work is in progress to provide a convenient installation tool to facilitate getting the suite of requisite programs installed and working harmoniously with a minimum of hassle? I assume that involves some combination of containers and/or virtual environments to insulate and isolate issues and facilitate portability. In addition, it would entail Mailman 3, Hyperkitty, Posterius and also Django, etc. The database selection of PostgreSQL or other. Other optionals to be configured would be the email utilities such as Postfix, etc Personally, my server of choice would run Centos. I gather Mark Sapiro was working on this as well? *Is there sufficient progress to warrant believing that such a capability might exist in the 2016 August - September time frame as was suggested some time back? Or are there any revised time-frames? Or an approximate estimated road-map?* Best regards. Dave Wilson

Mailman3 in AWS
by Andrew Hodgson Aug. 23, 2016

Aug. 23, 2016

Hi Guys, Just looking at options for running Mailman3 in AWS. Here are some thoughts: - DB backend can be done in AWS RDS using Amazon Aurora DB with MySQL driver, or PostgreSQL. - What files (if any) get stored on the web servers and updated dynamically? Has load balancing been done for the websites before? - Any issues with runner processes being ran on more than one machine talking to the same DB backend? Just some initial thoughts to stem discussion. Andrew.

I've run into many issues with the default config: - mailman is specifically calling Python 3.4, ignoring the fact that I have Python 3.5 - shell scripts expect bash to be at /bin/bash (mine is at /usr/local/bin/bash) - mailman expects postmap to be at /usr/sbin/postmap (mine is at /usr/local/sbin/postmap) Please CC me in your reply as I wasn't able to join this mailing list (I login by email, get the login.persona.org pop-up, click sign in, the pop-up closes... but I'm still not logged in).

Please join at <https://lists.mailman3.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users@mailman3.org/> before replying there. That said, we are working on packaging for a more turn-key installation, but we aren't there yet. I've installed a couple of instances including the one at lists.mailman3.org, and it does require extra work. Some of the work in my case is because I want to run all the Mailman pieces from the heads of their branches rather than what's in PyPI, but even without that, installation is significantly more work than installing a distro's package. I will be writing up my experiences, but that's not done yet either. I will say that once you have Mailman 3 installed and running, updating (which I do frequently, but which doesn't need to be done unless you want specific updates/fixes) is pretty easy. As far as alternatives are concerned There is an up to date Mailman 2.1 branch with better virtual domain support at <https://code.launchpad.net/~msapiro/mailman/vhost>, but I think in the long run, you'd be better off with Mailman 3. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Countdown to the 3.1 release
by Barry Warsaw July 13, 2016

July 13, 2016

Previously I mentioned the three big outstanding branches that I'd like to land for Mailman 3.1 Core, the templates branch, the MySQL support branch, and the unsubscription workflow branch. I've now also gone through all the bugs previously targeted to milestone 3.1, and there are only three left: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/milestones/2 I think these are important enough to fix for 3.1 and I welcome merge requests while the other three branches are ongoing. Please take a look at any other bugs not assigned to milestone 3.1 and let me know if you think any are serious enough to block the 3.1 release. I'll say in advance that I'm going to be brutal in assessing them, because 3.1 really needs to be released soon! Note too that there may be blockers for Postorius, Hyperkitty, and mailman.client, but I haven't looked at those subprojects yet. How close are they to being release ready? Cheers, -Barry

Templates branch for Mailman 3.1
by Barry Warsaw July 11, 2016

July 11, 2016

Hello developers! There are three big features still in progress for Mailman 3.1, the templates branch, MySQL support, and unsubscription workflow. There is already a merge request for MySQL support and I'm hoping to merge that soon. Abhilash is also working on the unsubscription workflow feature but there's no MR for that yet. The templates feature is very nearly done, so I think now is a good time to ask for testing, feedback, and review. This is a generalization of the welcome_message_uri feature in MM3.0 where you could specify e.g. the welcome message as a URL to download and cache when necessary. This is important because Core doesn't know whether there is even a web ui (e.g. Postorius) involved, or where things like clickable links to unsubscribe would be. Sites also want to customize footers to include information like codes of conduct, etc. Now (or when this branch lands), you will be able to specify a URL to retrieve any template that Mailman uses internally, whether they are confirmation messages, bounce probes, welcome and goodbye messages, etc. These can be templates for administrators, users, and members. Because I'm hoping to get some reviews, I'll point you at the documentation for more details: https://gitlab.com/warsaw/mailman/blob/templates/src/mailman/rest/docs/temp… The branch did end up being much bigger and tentacled than I expected, but it's all hanging together pretty well now, and all the tests pass. There's still a small number of to-dos, but some of them will get punted, and the others won't have a major effect on the overall use and visibility of the feature. https://gitlab.com/warsaw/mailman/blob/templates/TODO.rst Note also that if you interact with the REST API v3.0, nothing changes externally, but the old IMailingList attributes are mapped onto the new templates mechanism. API v3.1 is where you see all the actual new feature end-points exposed. Of course, any MM2 list converted to MM3.1 will use the new templates stuff too. Feedback very much welcome, either here or on the MR: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/merge_requests/170 I'd like to land this some time in the next week or so. Then I'll work on the other two big branches and start to release some betas. Cheers, -Barry

I have now done production installations of Mailman 3 on this server (lists.mailman3.org) and mail.python.org. I've attempted to document this experience at <https://wiki.list.org/x/17891998>. Suggestions for improvement and/or direct edits on the wiki are welcome. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

[MM3-users]Request for assistance for fresh install of Mailman 3.0.3 and Python 3.4
by Rubén Rivero Capriles June 1, 2016

June 1, 2016

Hello World! Very nice to meet you all this afternoon! In order to avoid compatibility issues, I reinstalled CentOs 7. Firewalld, Apache and BIND are operational. I also installed Python 3.4 at http://www.codeghar.com/blog/install-latest-python-on-centos-7.html; however I understand that Python 2.7 is still available and am confused about usage of each version. I downloaded the tarball for mailman 3.0.3. I will greatly appreciate if you quickly let me know how to install it. I do not wish to use mailman bundler.

Hi Simon, Richard and Mark: Thanks for directing me to man crontab. I'm sure I'll work the issue out within reasonable time. Yes, indeed awstats reads postfix logs, the main reason I'm installing it is because it's helpful for analyzing website traffic. There are limitations: for example, there is an Apache GeoIP plugin for matching IP addresses with countries. My IP address and domains are registered in the USA but I live in Venezuela and my websites, although being bilingual, are very geared to Venezuelan issues. Probably millions of other people worldwide share this kind of background. So how effective is it to rely on those statistics anyway? I look forward to comparing awstats with Mailman Daily Status Report. I was honored to receive an email today from Thomas Woerner of Fedora, chief developer of the firewalld project, requesting to the Firewalld Users Discussion list to download today's release of 0.4.2. It is supposed to have fixed the various bugs we have recently dealt with. Which method should I use to download it? Am interested in upgrading firewalld immediately because the old version conflicted with ebtables and my OS python 2.7 got confused because of that last week. You have taught me to be be careful about managing simultaneously Python 2 & 3 or Mailman 2 & 3. Here are enclosed details of firewalld upgrade. My installed version of firewalld is 0.3.9 and yum doesn't provide any updates. Until yesterday both 0.4 and 0.4.1.2 were available from sources; and 0.4.2 was released today. "Thomas Woerner <twoerner(a)redhat.com> <twoerner(a)redhat.com> Para Firewalld users discussion list <firewalld-users(a)lists.fedorahosted.org>Firewalld development list <firewalld-devel(a)lists.fedorahosted.org> Hoy a las 14:44 The new firewalld version 0.4.2 is available with several enhancements, bug fixes and huge speed ups. The main changes of firewalld-0.4.2 are New transaction model --------------------- Changes are done in one big transaction instead of smaller ones. This speeds up firewalld start and restart tremendously. The start is done up to in six or nine calls to the restore commands depending on the configuration. This depends on ipset and also direct configuration usage. Also all other actions benefit from this change. Enhanced handling of connections and interfaces ----------------------------------------------- For interfaces that are handled by NetworkManager, requests to add or change bindings are directed to NetworkManager in the firewall-cmd and firewall-config tools. For interfaces on Fedora and RHEL systems that are not handled by NM, there is a new mechanism that changes the ifcfg file if there is one using the interface. This makes zone interface bindings more consistent. Usability enhancements for firewall-config ------------------------------------------ firewall-config has a new side bar with the active bindings of connections, interfaces and also sources. With this side bar it is possible to change the binding assignments in a simple way. A new overlay message window if the connection to firewalld could not be established or if it is lost. Speed ups for view changes runtime to permanent and back by introduction of new D-Bus methods in firewalld. The resize behavior has been fixed to be more expected. Enhanced runtime to permanent migration --------------------------------------- The enhanced migration is not saving interfaces that are under control of NetworkManager to the permanent configuration. Zones, services etc. are only migrated if there are changes compared to current permanent configuration. New ICMP block inversion ------------------------ The ICMP block is now completely handled per zone. With the new ICMP block inversion flag in the zone it is possible to invert the ICMP block. That means that the enabeld ICMP blocks are allowed and all others are blocked. In a drop zone these remaining types are dropped and not blocked. The logging of denied rules have been added to icmp-blocks. Source port support in zones, services and rich rules ----------------------------------------------------- Additionally to ports is it also now possible to allow source ports in a zones and also in a service in a similar way as existing ports. There is a new flag source-port for this. Source ports can also be used in rich rules as elements. The source ports can be combined with logging, limiting and also an action. Rich rules with destination only* *------------------------------------- Destination addresses can now be used in rich rules without an element. This enabled the use of rich rules containing destination addresses combined with an action and logging only. There are also several other bug fixes or enhancements and code optimizations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The new firewalld version 0.4.1.2 is available here: https://fedorahosted.org/released/firewalld/firewalld-0.4.2.tar.bz2 Also on github: https://github.com/t-woerner/firewalld/releases/tag/v0.4.2 And in the github repository: https://github.com/t-woerner/firewalld/ <https://github.com/t-woerner/firewalld/> <https://github.com/t-woerner/firewalld/tree/v0.4.0> _______________________________________________ Rubén Rivero Capriles http://www.rubenrivero.net (blog global - español) http://www.rroopstr.com (global blog - English) http://www.riverocooper.com (art & mining)

[MM3-users]Is is possible to allow all users Create List functionality?
by Carrie Knox May 27, 2016

May 27, 2016

Hello, My company is evaluating mailman3 as an option for a company internal list server. One of the requirements is that any registered user be allowed to create and maintain lists. Is this possible? If so, how? Does a "create list" role need to be added as a default role during account creation? Thanks, Carrie
