copies of sent "admin" messages
by David Bremner Nov. 21, 2023

Nov. 21, 2023

I'm dealing with (presumably bogus) spam reports for messages from foo-bounces(a)list.domain As far as I can tell these messages are triggered by the alleged-victim/apparent-attacker sending messages to foo-subscribe followed immediately by foo-unsubscribe. I have the size and time from postfix and/or mailman's smtp.log, but I don't have the message content. Are these messages stored somewhere by Mailman? Can I have them stored for a month or so in order to deal with these bureaucratic incidents? David

Where do I find the check_hk_archive script
by Lars Bjørndal Nov. 19, 2023

Nov. 19, 2023

In https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/migration.html I'm adviced to run the check_hk_archive script found in hyperkitty/contrib. When trying `git clone https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkity`I get: Username for 'https://gitlab.com': Is it possible to get the script without an account on gitlab?

How to Personalise Email Content with Usernames in Mailman 3
by Zaheer Abbas Nov. 18, 2023

Nov. 18, 2023

Hello, I am currently working with Mailman 3 and looking to enhance the personalization of the emails sent through our mailing list. Specifically, I wish to include the recipient's username in the email content, similar to a personalized greeting (e.g., "Dear [username]"). My questions are: 1. Does Mailman 3 support the inclusion of personalized data (like usernames)? 2. If yes, how can I do that? Is there any placeholder for that? Any guidance or suggestions on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Add rule to auto-discard "AutoReply" messages from list members
by Thomas Ward Nov. 18, 2023

Nov. 18, 2023

When people are communicating on Mailman3 lists, some set up automatic responders for out-of-office, etc. and get let through the system to list recipients. Unfortunately, this is bad behavior and appears to not be caught by default. I'd like to set up some kind of rule globally rather than per-list that would check if a message is an automatic reply (based on a set of criteria we've come up with programmatically on our previous custom implementation of lists) and then default-discard those messages. Is there a way with custom rules to implement this? We're looking for certain strings on the subject line or other headers to determine "Discard" cases in our custom list implementations, but we are hoping we can implement this with customized rules in Mailman3 to achieve this goal. How would we structure that type of rule, and do we check the message object or the msgdata instead? Thomas

Possible SQLAlchemy 2.0.23 incompatibility (requires investigation)
by Jered Floyd Nov. 15, 2023

Nov. 15, 2023

I just did a container rebuild and Mailman failed to load, with the below errors on the console. Pinning SQLAlchemy 2.0.22 resolved this; I haven't tried to further debug.

I've upgraded from Fedora 37 to 38, and the postgresql server will not start: nov. 14 23:22:18 dalen.lamasti.net postgresql-check-db-dir[1410]: An old version of the database format was found. nov. 14 23:22:18 dalen.lamasti.net postgresql-check-db-dir[1410]: Use 'postgresq l-setup --upgrade' to upgrade to version '15' nov. 14 23:22:18 dalen.lamasti.net postgresql-check-db-dir[1410]: See /usr/share /doc/postgresql/README.rpm-dist for more information. When I run `postgresql-setup --upgrade` I get: runuser: warning: cannot change directory to /opt/postgresql: no such file or directory * Upgrading database. /usr/bin/postgresql-setup: line 307: cd: /opt/postgresql: no such file or directory ERROR: pg_upgrade tool failed ERROR: Upgrade failed. * See /var/lib/pgsql/upgrade_postgresql.log for details. Why does the upgrade tool look for files in /opt/postgresql and not in /var/lib/pgsql? How to fix it? Thanks, Lars

Mailserver Log entries following through mailman?
by Andreas Barth Nov. 11, 2023

Nov. 11, 2023

Hi, is there some way to find an ID to follow an email through mailman? In the exim logfile there is only something like C="250 Ok" (whereas in mails sent to another exim there is something like C="250 OK id=…"). (What I sometimes need to do is to follow an mail whether it is sent through mailman and to where.) Or should I raise an issue as whishlist request? Regards, Andi

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
