by Steve Brown 10 Nov '23

10 Nov '23

I'm new to this list and newly a Mailman list administrator. I know I can customize message templates and have done so for my list's Welcome message. My problem is knowing what I'm replacing when I create a "new" template. How/where can I see he default content? Steve Brown

Template - "You can use these variables in the templates" - The variable for "leave" is missing
by Wikinaut 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

The current template input page shows this text: You can use these variables in the templates. $hyperkitty_url: Permalink to archived message in Hyperkitty $listname: Name of the Mailing List e.g. ant(a)example.com $list_id: The List-ID header e.g. ant.example.com $display_name: Display name of the mailing list e.g. Ant $short_listname: Local part of the listname e.g. ant $domain: The domain part of the listname e.g. example.com $info: The mailing list's longer descriptive text $request_email: The email address for -request address $owner_email: The email address for -owner address $site_email: The email address to reach the owners of the site $language: The two letter language code for list's preferred language e.g. fr, en, de I suggest to add the variable for leaving a mailing list here. But what is the variable name?

Mailman 3 deployment: ok to use same database instance for core, web, and hyperkitty tables?
by s.dobrau＠ucl.ac.uk 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

Hello, We are currently working on a migration plan for Mailman -> Mailman 3. We have around over 3000 mailing lists with a total of 50K members and 500 worth of archived data. Our plan is to have core+web (instance 1) and Hyperkitty (instance 2). With the archives on the FS local to the Hyperkitty. And all 3 tables (core, web, Hyperkitty) pointing to the same database on a remote SQL (mysql-enterprise) instance. Using class mailman.database.mysql.MySQLDatabase (and whatever necessary on the Django/Hyperkitty instance). Is this feasible, if so what would be the recommended compute/storage requirements. If not what other alternatives have we got ? A remote or local PostgreSQL instance is also possible if recommended. Thank you very much in advance and all the best ! Regards, Serban

Immediate notification to the administrator
by pau.baiges＠csuc.cat 02 Nov '23

02 Nov '23

Hello In Mailman, I have all the lists marked with the "Immediate notification to the administrator" option. Should list moderators receive immediate notification of new requests as well as daily reminders about the pending ones? List moderators (and list administrators) receive daily reminders of pending requests for approval, such as subscriptions to a moderated list or submissions that are held for some reason. Enabling this option results in immediate notifications being sent upon the arrival of new requests. When there's a message being held because it needs approval, it automatically sends an email to the list owners. However, it also states that it sends a daily reminder if the email remains unapproved, but it's not doing that. I'll show you how I have /etc/postfix/transport configured. I receive the first "owner" email, but not the daily one. list-owner(a)llistes.csuc.cat relay:[ip]:25 list(a)llistes.csuc.cat .. list-admin(a)llistes.csuc.cat ... list-bounces(a)llistes.csuc.cat ... list-confirm(a)llistes.csuc.cat ... list-join(a)llistes.csuc.cat ... list-leave(a)llistes.csuc.cat ... list-request(a)llistes.csuc.cat ... list-subscribe(a)llistes.csuc.cat ...

Weird behavior with Outlook and any MM3 List
by Thomas Ward 01 Nov '23

01 Nov '23

I'm seeing some *really* odd behavior with Mailman 3 and Microsoft Outlook clients (even Outlook Web Access). When messages come in with a subject prefix, of any way shape or form, Microsoft Outlook seems to *completely strip* the prefixes from any "reply" sent, which could be problematic. While the "In-Reply-To" header is still intact and such, Microsoft just seems to 'strip' prefixes from subject lines and that causes a problem in some cases. Has anyone observed this behavior before? If so, have you found any workarounds? Thomas

Reduction of spam - FROM_LOCAL_HEX
by Kyriakos Terzopoulos 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

Hi, After fixing all issues with mailman I want to reduce the chance for email being marked as spam, especially from Gmail. I have added SPF and DKIM records and I am now using dkimvalidator to debug the emails being sent. Here is what I'm getting from spam evaluation: *0.3 FROM_LOCAL_HEX From: localpart has long hexadecimal sequence* My guess is that the From address is very large, for example: mylist-confirm+3eafa5bd24e52738c900e2e3fd05e366b7ea7580(a)myproject.eu Is there any way to mitigate this problem?

(Custom) Plugins: Proper file path(s) for adding a handler?
by Thomas Ward 25 Oct '23

25 Oct '23

I want to add a custom handler that implements customized thread IDs in the system. I already have the DB logic worked out, but the documentation for plugins is NOT clear on how to define a handler in a plugin, nor does the example plugin in the documentation on Gitlab have any custom handlers. I'm looking to add a custom handler so that the private pipeline for threaded-subject-list can use thread-subject (the custom handler) instead of subject-prefix (builtin). I'm unclear how to add this properly in a plugin that would be read properly by Mailman, though. Any tips on the filestructure needed for the Python code/plugin package in order to properly be set up and work? Thomas

rDNS issue? Helo name contains an IP address (HELO was [127.0.0.1]) and not is valid
by Kyriakos Terzopoulos 25 Oct '23

25 Oct '23

Hi all, I'm on the latest mailman installation in a HestiaCP server. The past few days I have been investigating some spam issues and by using dkimvalidator.com I found the following: 0.1 DKIM_SIGNED Message has a DKIM or DK signature, not necessarily valid -0.1 DKIM_VALID Message has at least one valid DKIM or DK signature -1.0 MAILING_LIST_MULTI Multiple indicators imply a widely-seen list manager* 3.2 HELO_DYNAMIC_IPADDR Relay HELO'd using suspicious hostname (IP addr 1)* Note the last line on the above debug information which raises the spam score of the email. Some research showed me that I needed a rDNS entry in my server. I'm on a Hetzner cloud VM so I used the Hetzner console to change the rDNS entry from: static.XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.clients.your-server.de to my initial server hostname for example: *hestia.myserver.com <http://hestia.myserver.com>* However, after some propagation, I found today that even though I can send email to any normal address created in the server's control panel, mailing list emails do not get sent. I see the following in the logs: Mailman SMTP log: Oct 24 14:17:47 2023 (3759611) <169814622178.3759638.4589434779084932533@localhost> *response exception: (550, b'Helo name contains an IP address (HELO was [127.0.0.1]) and not is valid'*, 'testlist-bounces+myusername=myproject.eu(a)myproject.eu') Oct 24 14:17:47 2023 (3759611) <169814622178.3759638.4589434779084932533@localhost> smtp to testlist(a)myproject.eu for 1 recips, completed in 45.07745146751404 seconds Oct 24 14:17:47 2023 (3759611) <169814622178.3759638.4589434779084932533@localhost> post to testlist(a)myproject.eu from testlist-confirm+07d3315fa11a75588857fc93d1832ba74fb09fdd(a)myproject.eu, 1633 bytes, 1 failures Oct 24 14:17:47 2023 (3759611) <169814622178.3759638.4589434779084932533@localhost> delivery to myusername(a)myproject.eu failed with code 550, b*'Helo name contains an IP address (HELO was [127.0.0.1]) and not is valid'* Exim4 log: 2023-10-24 14:17:47 H=([127.0.0.1]) [XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] rejected MAIL <testlist-bounces+myusername=myproject.eu(a)myproject.eu>: *Helo name contains an IP address (HELO was [127.0.0.1]) and not is valid* The weird thing is that when I do a mailman-web sendtestemail this email is sent successfully. Also please note that before the rDNS change I did not have an issue with mail sending. Last but not least, after some search I set in Exim4 the following: PRIMARY_HOST_NAME = *hestia.myserver.com <http://hestia.myserver.com>* Any help would be greatly appreciated. *Kyriakos Terzopoulos *Web developer / e-learning expert *Tel:*+30 211 213 9858 *Mobile:* +30 694 526 4512 * E-mail: *kyriakos.terzopoulos(a)gmail.com * Skype:* kyriakos.terzopoulos Find me on Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/cirrus3d> Follow me on Twitter <http://twitter.com/#%21/cirrus3d>

The list is not yet used (i.e. "inactive"), but clearly flagged as " Show list on index page = no" I regard this as a bug.

More Mailman releases!
by Abhilash Raj 24 Oct '23

24 Oct '23

Hello Everyone, I am pleased to announce several new releases for GNU Mailman project. Thanks to all the contributors for making these releases possible! 1. Postorius 1.3.10 [1] 2. Hyperkitty 1.3.8 [2] 3. Django-mailman3 1.3.10 [3] 4. Mailman-web 0.0.7 [4] All the releases are published to PyPI and you can find links to all the PyPI projects: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/ A full list of change logs are available below: [1]: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/postorius/en/latest/news.html#news-1-3-10 [2]: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/hyperkitty/en/latest/news.html#news-1-3-8 [3]: https://gitlab.com/mailman/django-mailman3/-/blob/master/README.rst [4]: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-web/-/blob/master/README.rst Do note that for Postorius, I released 1.3.9, but I forgot to update dependency metadata to require `django-mailman3>=1.3.10` (which is required for the new bootstrap 5 upgrade across packages) and so I also released Postorius 1.3.10 just after. Installation documentation is available at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/install.html and if you are upgrading an existing virtualenv install you can refer https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/upgrade-3.2.html If you find any issues, you can report them at the respective bug tracker for the projects. The links to issue trackers are available at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/. Finally, similar to Mailman Core, note that PyPI doesn't accept signatures anymore so each packages' release page now has the tarball uploaded to them along with the signature: Django-mailman3: https://gitlab.com/mailman/django-mailman3/-/releases/v1.3.10 Hyperkitty: https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty/-/releases/v1.3.8 Postorius: https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/releases/v1.3.10 Mailman-web: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-web/-/releases/0.0.7 -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

Gmail bounces as a result to high send rate
by Mohsen Masoudfar 24 Oct '23

24 Oct '23

I managed to receive the bounced emails to my mailbox and I can now see the stated reason for th eissue, the bulk of the emails are marked as "expired" due to the following response: "smtp; Message expired: unable to deliver in 840 minutes.< Our system has detected an unusual rate of unsolicited mail. To protect our users from spam, mail has been temporarily rate limited. Please visit https://support.google.com/mail/?p=UnsolicitedRateLimitError to review our Bulk Email Senders Guidelines." The issue is exclusive to Gmail, no other email provider responded with a comparable message. I followed their recommendation, but I am not sure how to reduce the rate on Postfix side. Can I do it per list? or once per server? Thanks.

Internal Server Error: /mailman/accounts/fedora/login/
by Kilian Kilger 24 Oct '23

24 Oct '23

Hi mailing list, I own a mailman box. I regularily (many times a day) get mail with an internal server error. I am using Debian and the included mailman3-full package. I guess someone tries to hack my instance. But I don't understand why this leads to the internal server error. I am also wondering why the request URL is /mailman/accounts/fedora/login, as I am using Debian (understandable if the request happens via an outside trigger). I have no clue about the internal workings of mailman though. I use Debian 11 bullseye and thus version 3.3.3. I can trigger the internal server error by myself by visiting the request URL. Despite these emails the instance seems to work fine. Best regards, Kilian.

General question mailman3: message sender acceptance "always"
by Wikinaut 23 Oct '23

23 Oct '23

I received one mail from a sender who's not a member for moderation (=ok). Mailman2 had the moderation option "allow this sender to sender further mails" (I call this: to add this sender to the additional "white list" of white-listed addresses.) I could not find such an option (in the moderation dialog) in Mailman3 (only "accept" or "reject" and "discard", but "accept and add to white-list = accept always"). Is it a bug or feature?

no access to Postorius web pages after upgrade
by David Newman 22 Oct '23

22 Oct '23

Upgrading to MM3 3.39, Postorius 1.3.10, Hyperkitty, 1.3.8, Django-mailman3 1.3.11, and Mailman-web 0.0.8 in a venv all seemed to go OK. Mailman3 lists work as expected, and admins can log in via Django. However, any attempt to reach lists, domains, users, etc. now returns a 404 Not Found error. All the Postorius stuff worked as expected before the upgrade. In the nginx server logs, any Hyperkitty and Postorius URLs are now appended to /opt/www/roundcubemail, which is this web server's root directory but not the root for Mailman3 (I run Roundcubemail and MM3 on the same server; don't judge me :-). Here is the nginx error, with obfuscation of client and server info: 2023/10/22 10:43:24 [error] 2264140#2264140: *135 "/opt/www/roundcubemail/postorius/domains/index.php" is not found (2: No such file or directory), client: 1.2.3.4, server: lists.example.com, request: "GET /postorius/domains/ HTTP/2.0", host: "lists.example.com", referrer: "https://lists.example.com/mailman3/listinfo" And here are the relevant bits of the Nginx config. Again, this worked before the upgrade. server { listen 443 ssl http2; server_name lists.example.com; root /opt/www/roundcubemail; # begin mailman3 stuff location /static/ { alias /opt/mailman/web/static/; } location /mailman3/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; } location /archives/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; } location /accounts/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; } location /admin/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; } location /mailman/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; } location /user-profile/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; } # end mailman3 stuff } Also, I'm not sure if it's relevant but after upgrading, the migrate command throws a warning like this: (venv) mailman@mail10:~$ mailman-web migrate System check identified some issues: WARNINGS: account.EmailAddress: (models.W036) MariaDB does not support unique constraints with conditions. HINT: A constraint won't be created. Silence this warning if you don't care about it. account.EmailAddress: (models.W043) MariaDB does not support indexes on expressions.

Operations to perform: Apply all migrations: account, admin, auth, contenttypes, django_mailman3, django_q, hyperkitty, postorius, sessions, sites, socialaccount Running migrations: No migrations to apply.

[migration] to a another server - one year database apparently lacks fields for newer mailman3/django suite
by Wikinaut 22 Oct '23

22 Oct '23

As suggested by @Mark last week, I exported my databases mailman3, mailman2web of what was mailman 3.3.0 (or so) and imported these on my new working system. Apparently, a database migration step is needed to run the new mailman3 with some older databases: because when I want to login to view my mailing lists, I got "An error occurred while processing your request." in the web. Log files and error mail messages say inter alia: Internal Server Error: /accounts/login/ OperationalError at /accounts/login/ (1054, "Unknown column 'socialaccount_socialapp.provider_id' in 'field list'" and Internal Server Error: /archives/ OperationalError at /archives/ (1054, "Unknown column 'hyperkitty_mailinglist.archive_rendering_mode' in 'field list'") Please can you assist: How can I add the missing tables, is there an update script (running "python migrate.py" was not fixing this).

New messages are not archived - may be a path issue
by Wikinaut 21 Oct '23

21 Oct '23

(I read thoroughly https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… "New messages not being archived", but could not find what's wrong on my machine.) This is what I found in /var/log/mailman3/mailman.log : HyperKitty failure on https://mail.opteryx.org/mailman3/archives/api/mailman/archive: This page either doesn't exist, or it moved somewhere else. I have double checked all settings in the /etc/mailman3/ configuration files and are not able to get message archived. There is not REST error message any more, but perhaps a problem with the paths. I have no idea any more where to fix this.

[Bug] Archiver: when deleting an archive, the control flow is lost (return-to should go to https://example.com/archives/ but does not)
by Wikinaut 21 Oct '23

21 Oct '23

How to reproduce: When deleting an archive, the confirmation page for the requested delete action is (correct) https://example.com/archives/list/test@example.com/delete/ When you now click the button DELETE, then the web control flow ist lost. BUG Instead of https://example.com/archives/ the https://example.com is shown, which appears to be a bug. REMARK: The archive-to-be-deleted was indeed deleted. This behaviour was observed with both installations on a fresh server: - debian12 install (package mailman3-full) ; and - venv install (recommended on your page)

Message of migrated list showing "unsubscribe@%(host_name)s" in footer
by alex＠presland.net 21 Oct '23

21 Oct '23

Apologies if I've not found a previous post for this; I did look before starting a new thread. We migrated a number of mailman lists last weekend and I spotted this evening that an email from the list contained a footer along the lines of the following (all bits in CAPITALS were successfully representing the list. ===== LISTNAME mailing-list -- LISTNAME@DOMAIN To unsubscribe, email LISTNAME-unsubscribe@%(host_name)s ===== 1) I don't know why %(host_name)s hasn't been automagically substituted 2) I can't find anywhere to change this footer in the Mailman3 Postorius interface

After importing my old databases, the mail local_recipient map is suddenly not working any more
by Wikinaut 20 Oct '23

20 Oct '23

After importing old databases everythimng looks fine now. But the mail local_recipient maps are not working (/etc/postfix/main.cf looks fine, as before, and postfix was restarted). Mails to test(a)example.org rejected with Error 550 Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table /* as in your installation guide */ transport_maps = hash:/var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_lmtp local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps hash:/var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_lmtp relay_domains = hash:/var/lib/mailman3/data/postfix_domains The files appears to be present: /var/lib/mailman3/data# dir 4 -rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 339 Oct 20 21:13 postfix_domains 8 -rw-r----- 1 mailman mailman 12288 Oct 20 21:13 postfix_domains.db 4 -rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 2714 Oct 20 21:13 postfix_lmtp 12 -rw-r----- 1 mailman mailman 12288 Oct 20 21:13 postfix_lmtp.db What else is needed to get the list-addresses working and not rejected? It worked before the import.

Memory issues on a small server with 2 GB RAM - Question: Has anyone a similar server up and running with mailman3 ?
by Wikinaut 20 Oct '23

20 Oct '23

I see that about every 15 minutes (or later), tasks are killed by the systems OOM-Killer (out-of-memory). Is there something wrong with the current Tom Sawyer version, or is this specific server's memory size too low? Remark: I already reduced the mariadb innodb-buffer pool to ~100 MB (because mariadb got killed now and then before this change). Now it is our lovely mailman3 which got killed as the program with the largest memory footprint... Any idea?

Mailman Core 3.3.9 Release
by Abhilash Raj 20 Oct '23

20 Oct '23

Hello Everyone, Mailman 3.3.9 is now published to PyPI! Thanks to everyone who helped make this release possible. Minimum supported Python version for this release is 3.9, we had to drop support for 3.7 & 3.8 due to incompatibilities with importlib-resources package. Maximum Python version supported right now is 3.11, we haven't yet added 3.12 to CI, so un-sure if there are any errors there. The full change log for the release can be found in the docs as usual: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/NEWS.… You can download the release via PyPI or via Gitlab Release: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/releases/v3.3.9 For those of you who need to verify signatures for packages, PyPI doesn't allow publishing signatures anymore so I pushed them to Gitlab Releases along with a copy of the same tarball uploaded to PyPI. I'll be working on the release for the web components tomorrow. -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

[Older bug, but still unsolved] When deleting one or more threads in an archive, django send error mails (based upon "Thread matching query does not exist")
by Wikinaut 20 Oct '23

20 Oct '23

I installed the venv version to scrutizine whether this old bug is still present (yes it is). How to reproduce: Delete one thread in via the archive - thread - view page. Remark: Thread is deleted as wanted. However, django complains via several (here: two) error mails: 1st mail: [Django] ERROR (EXTERNAL IP): Internal Server Error: /archives/list/test(a)example.com/top-threads Internal Server Error: /archives/list/test(a)example.com/top-threads DoesNotExist at /archives/list/test(a)example.com/top-threads Thread matching query does not exist. ... 2nd mail: [Django] ERROR (EXTERNAL IP): Internal Server Error: /archives/list/test(a)example.com/posted-to Internal Server Error: /archives/list/test(a)example.com/posted-to DoesNotExist at /archives/list/test(a)example.com/posted-to Thread matching query does not exist. ... I wish to fix this problem, how can I help, what can I do? Do you need the full error stack?

Mailman3 Development Related List?
by Thomas Ward 20 Oct '23

20 Oct '23

I have some technical questions around custom plugins for Mailman3, related to DB access, etc. within a specific custom plugin. Is there a dedicated list for that, or is this list proper for such questions? Namely, I'm searching for more information regarding existing interfaces, etc. that're exposed from different mailman.* python components and whether we can utilize those without having to implement extra psycopg2 instances/connectivity, etc. but don't want to bombard the users list with technical chatter unless it's intended to be used that way.

Moving mm3 -> mm3 to different host
by Axel Rau 19 Oct '23

19 Oct '23

Hi all, There are lots of threads for mm2 -> mm3 moves, but only one thread mm3 -> mm3. Some time ago, I found a post from Mark, explaining the steps, but I can't find it again. I have created a working mm3 installation on the new host with both mailman and mail-web dbs imported. hyperkitty archive seems to in the db. What are the next steps to complete the transfer? - rsyncing messages, lists and templates to new host - Setting up DNS CNAMES to the new server - Adapting exim to accept mails to the aliased domain - Can I keep the old listname, with the old domain name? -What else has to be done ?

Unusual behavior: Standard discussion lists with prefix are sometimes having prefix *dropped*
by Thomas Ward 19 Oct '23

19 Oct '23

I noticed some unusual behavior in Mailman3 stable release on PyPI and such. Namely, there are instances where replies are being processed and the prefix tags are simply being **lost** and dropped by Mailman3, instead of being properly prepended where they're supposed to go. Is this a known bug or does it need its own bug in the gitlab tracker? Thomas

Thread IDs on messages incrementing per reply?
by Thomas Ward 19 Oct '23

19 Oct '23

Trying to use the thread prefix component to *tag* thread IDs in a system, but not increment per message. It looks like replies are being received and then thread prefixes are getting incremented. "[Test-%07d]" is the prefix I"m using on a given test list, but we want it to increment by thread ID and *not* per message. (6 messages for instance have been sent, two were replies to [Test-0000004] and though the system properly archived it in the same conversation, it still incremented the digit counter). Is there a way to achieve this in Mailman3 without me having to write some kind of custom code for this? Thomas

Hi, After installing mailman and using it for a few days, I got several complaints from my hosting company for abuse.

Simple ubi8/mailman3 container image
by Jered Floyd 17 Oct '23

17 Oct '23

Abhilash maintains a very complete and well-documented container deployment for Mailman 3, but when I was setting up my environment a few months ago I wanted to build on top of RHEL 8 as well as use a database instance shared across multiple applications. So I ended up creating a bare-bones container image that suited my needs and was closer to just doing a simple local install, but keeping the isolation, reproducibility, and rollback benefits of running as a container. I've been meaning to polish it up and share in case it is useful to others, but finally recognizing that I likely won't get to that soon I've just put it on GitHub here: [ https://github.com/jeredfloyd/mailman-container | https://github.com/jeredfloyd/mailman-container ] Doing a "podman build" of this should result in a container image that is very much like the result of doing a venv install. This uses the Red Hat Universal Base Image (UBI), which can be freely redistributed, gets upstream security updates, and is eligible for support on a paid RHEL subscription. --Jered

Post installation issues (recipients refused) with Exim4 in a virtual host environment

Setting up on ubuntu server 22.04
by Kyriakos Terzopoulos 15 Oct '23

15 Oct '23

Hi guys, I have an Ubuntu 22.04 server running on a Hetzner machine, with HestiaCP (Exim4) on it. I cannot for the life of me start the service of mailman3 core. Following the installation tutorial I have tried with the venv approach and I am having the following issues: 1) It is not clear to me whether the mailman configuration should be outside venv (and outside the mailman shell). 2) For the above reason I have created a config file: /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg and the mailman3 service outside venv. When starting the service I get the following: ImportError: cannot import name 'path' from 'importlib_resources' (/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/importlib_resources/__init__.py) I've set up the database, the mailman user and the virtual environment. I know I am missing something here (e.g. Python version? other dependencies?). In general would it be better or/and easier to set this up on a new machine in my Hetzner cloud e.g. on Debian which seems to have packages of mailman available? Thanks in advance for all your help.

Memory usage cgroup and free -m
by golden_rock＠hotmail.com 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

Hi, Currently the mailman3 cgroup slice uses up to 875MB: Control Group Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s system.slice/mailman3.service 16 0.1 875.3M - - Is 875MB a normal expected amount, or more than expected? To confirm that this is truly used and not "cached", I use the new Available column from the "free -m" output, which is the pre-computed available memory for a new process, added in recent years. The output of free -m under the Available column when mailman3 is running is : 161 MB When I stop the mailman service, the output of free -m Available column goes up to: 1071 MB Showing that the 875MB previously were not available for release for new processes. If I start mailman service again, the output of free -m Available column goes back to : 325MB and will be reducing gradually over time. I looked around on posts, documentation and others, but didn't find guides related to reducing RAM usage, is that a possibility or is this memory usage expected?

Archive search failing on one list
by Mark 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

Hi, I have several lists all happily running with private archives. They all use the one domain name. A new list was added recently and although mail delivery and archiving are fine, this new list's search function is failing. For example, on searching for the word "Derbyshire" (which is mentioned in one of the archived messages) the results page displays: "Sorry no email could be found for this query." The logs show: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ /var/log/mailman3/web/mailman-web.log +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [pid: 1156|app: 0|req: 55/55] 2001:8004:5310:2405:ce66:5ff:41fc:60db () {76 vars in 1537 bytes} [Sat Sep 23 23:57:43 2023] GET /mailman3/hyperkitty/search?mlist=LISTNAME-1%40DOMAIN.COM&q=Derbyshire => generated 13752 bytes in 3188 msecs (HTTP/1.1 200) 5 headers in 164 bytes (1 switches on core 0) 23:57:51 [Q] INFO Process-1:1 processing [rebuild_mailinglist_cache_for_month] 23:57:51 [Q] INFO Process-1:2 processing [rebuild_mailinglist_cache_recent] 23:57:51 [Q] ERROR Failed [rebuild_mailinglist_cache_for_month] - MailingList matching query does not exist. : Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django_q/cluster.py", line 421, in worker res = f(*task["args"], **task["kwargs"]) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/hyperkitty/tasks.py", line 79, in _rebuild_mailinglist_cache_for_month mlist = MailingList.objects.get(name=mlist_name) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/db/models/manager.py", line 82, in manager_method return getattr(self.get_queryset(), name)(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/db/models/query.py", line 406, in get raise self.model.DoesNotExist( hyperkitty.models.mailinglist.MailingList.DoesNotExist: MailingList matching query does not exist. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On all the other lists, which all have successful search results, the logs shows examples like so (searching for "Farnborough") ... ************************************* [pid: 1156|app: 0|req: 486/486] 2001:8004:5310:2405:ce66:5ff:41fc:60db () {76 vars in 1531 bytes} [Sun Sep 24 00:38:24 2023] GET /mailman3/hyperkitty/search?mlist=LISTNAME-2%40DOMAIN.COM&q=Farnborough => generated 141638 bytes in 11039 msecs (HTTP/1.1 200) 6 headers in 333 bytes (1 switches on core 0) ************************************* ... which seems to be pretty much the same but with out the "MailingList.DoesNotExist" error.

Alias for a list name
by Lars Bjørndal 08 Oct '23

08 Oct '23

I've migrated a list from mm 21 to mm 3 sucessfully. The mm 21 runs on domains managed by Postfix as virtual alias domains. That way it was possible to alias a shorter name for a list to the list name. To run mm 3 through Postfix, I use local_recipient_maps and transport_maps. What I want to achieve, is alias medlem(a)list.saf-org.no to saf-medlem(a)list.saf-org.no I tried to put medlem(a)list.saf-org.no: saf-medlem(a)list.saf-org.no and get the following error when running newaliases: postalias: warning: /etc/aliases, line 231: name must be local Is it possible to do this aliasing in a simple way? Thanks, Lars

OIDC (was: username)
by Jörg Schulz 07 Oct '23

07 Oct '23

The most recent version of Django-allauth has some nice changes, it's now straightforward to include oidc. Just include SOCIALACCOUNT_EMAIL_AUTHENTICATION=True ## This allows existing users to login MAILMAN_WEB_SOCIAL_AUTH = [ "allauth.socialaccount.providers.openid_connect"] in settings.py and use the Django admin to configure the socialauth.... While it is _possible_ to add things like ---- SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = { "openid_connect": { "APPS": [ { "provider_id": "mm3", "name": "TheNameThat shows up in the button", "client_id": "configuredID", "secret": "yourOIDCproviderGivesItToYou", "settings": { "server_url": "https://keycloak.wherever.com/realms/yourRealm/.well-known/openid-configura…", "token_auth_method": "client_secret_basic", }, } ] } } ---- I think it's preferable to do that within the Django Admin Gui. Does anybody dare to include this info in the documentation, or are we afraid the next django_allauth breaks things again (this time: Keycloak has been replaced by openid_connect)? -------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: Re: [MM3-users] Re: username Datum: Wed, 13 Sep 2023 07:34:35 +0000 Von: info(a)joergschulz.de An: Stephen J.

There are multiple ways to solve this problem. My employer wanted a host-wide solution so they chose Shibboleth. Some day I'll go out and collect the ones I can find and document them (in summary form: source site, recency of stable version, recency of maintenance, etc). Steve

Where is the username that a user uses to login on the postorius web page stored? I checked the postgres table public.user and while the display name is there, the username is not. I can't find it anywhere in the database.

Mailman issues after re-boot

Hyperkitty href url to css cache files is not correct
by Alexander Maier 05 Oct '23

05 Oct '23

Hello guys i just created my first mailing list on uberspace. Everything works fine at the moment but I have a problem with the stylesheets of hyperkitty. I recognized that hyperkitty creates for each new access to its website a css CACHE file which is stored at '/static/CACHE/css/'. The url in the HTML file sets the href to /static/CACHE/css/ but the files are only accessible with '/hyperkitty/static/CACHE/css/'. I tried out some probably solutions but nothing works... Could you guys help me?

Template variables in list:user:notice:post

when I add $hyperkitty_url in the postorius template list:user:notice:post, this variable is not expanded, but rests in clear text, like: Das Archiv befindet sich hier: $hyperkitty_url Moreover, when I use $listname. (the dot after the variable name!), no confirmation arrives. Leaving a space between the variable name and the ‚.' helps.

Mailman 3 Privacy Policies, GDPR, etc and social logins
by Jered Floyd 05 Oct '23

05 Oct '23

Greetings, I host a variety of lists for social, community, and software projects, and updated my infrastructure from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3 last year. As part of this, I enabled Django allauth modules to simplify login and management for subscribers. Recently, Facebook notified me that they would be disabling the "application" because it failed to provide a sufficient Privacy Policy. Previously I had linked the app to [ https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/privacy.html, | https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/privacy.html, ] but they have said: Platform Terms 4.b: Your privacy policy must comply with applicable law and regulations and must accurately and clearly explain what data you are Processing, how you are Processing it, the purposes for which you are Processing it, and how Users may request deletion of that data. During testing, we found that your privacy policy doesn’t explain how users can request data deletion. Update your privacy policy to include this information before you submit an appeal. This is a bit of a headache. Do we have a draft of a community Privacy Policy for a vanilla Mailman 3 install that meets Facebook's requirements? Is this going to be a constantly unraveling thread of future GDPR and Right to Be Forgotten troubles, since there doesn't seem to be an easy way to scrub a subscriber from Hyperkitty archives if they request so? How have others addressed this situation? Regards, --Jered
