MM attaches mime-attachments to mail as text file since update to 3.3.8
by Stefan Bauer 25 Jan '23

25 Jan '23

Dear Users & Developers, we're running MM3 on Ubuntu 22 and used the venv-installation method. Last week we updated via¹ to Mailman Core-Version GNU Mailman 3.3.8 (Tom Sawyer) Mailman Core API-Version 3.1 Mailman Core Python-Version 3.10.6 (main, Nov 14 2022, 16:10:14) [GCC 11.3.0] and now mailman attaches mime-attachments to email as text-files. That breaks many mails in our environment. For example: Now we have attachments like smime.p7s + ATT000001.txt as well as what looks like MM footers "mailing list --- test@domain ... To unsubscripbe send an email to ..." How can we get the "old" processing back? Thank you alot. Stefan

Localisation of web interface gone after OS upgrade
by Johannes Rohr 20 Jan '23

20 Jan '23

Dear all, I just upgraded our server from Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04. Mailman is installed in virtualenv, so it shouldn't be affected by the upgrade. Am I right about that? However, the strange thing is that most, albeit not all of the localisation is gone, the web interface is now mostly in English. Still, I reinstalled venv, mailman and hyperkitty, but no change. I also re-ran the four commands * mailman-web migrate * mailman-web collectstatic * mailman-web compress * mailman-web compilemessages just to be sure, but that didn't change things either. Is there something in Ubuntu 22.04 that kills the localisation? Thanks! Johannes

Updated script for checking and fixing mbox files.
by Mark Sapiro 20 Jan '23

20 Jan '23

Mailman 2.1 has a cleanarch script for checking mbox files for unescaped `From `lines in message bodies and optionally fixing them. For some time, there has been a stand-alone python3 version of this script at https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/cleanarch3 (mirrored at https://fog.ccsf.edu/~msapiro/scripts/cleanarch3). I have just updated this script to check and optionally fix bad Date: headers. I have also added it at https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty/-/blob/master/hyperkitty/contrib/clea… for the next release. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Using it with the "smtp2go" email relay service that has special deliverability rules
by golden_rock＠hotmail.com 19 Jan '23

19 Jan '23

Hi, Smtp2Go relay service enforces a few rules for deliverability: The From: address domain has to be verified in smtp2go The sender envelope address also has to be verified in smtp2go So emails sent by mailman don't get relayed because mailman sets From: to be the original sender of the message, and it means anyone that wants to send to the list would have to approve themselves with smtp2go first, which is not workable. To make it work, I would have to have something like: Sender: bounce-address(a)lists.mailman3.org - untouched From: original.sender@gmail.com@lists.mailman3.org - change #1 having the From address to be From the list Reply-To: original.sender(a)gmail.com - change #2 - if someone replies Then smtp2go will send the email. I looked in the settings and I didn't find a readily available option to do that. I'm new to customizing mailman3 , but have been using it in production for a little more than 1 year. I've seen other software do the solution proposed above, namely DIvi contact forms set the "From" to be something @website.com and the Reply-To: as the form submitter. I am told that the standards is moving away from forging the DATA From: that doesn't have a predictable domain, and instead put the variable email address in Reply-To, for things like contact forms or automated sending. Can someone guide me on where I could start looking?

hello， Discussion on how to subscribe to the mailing list
by 朱超 18 Jan '23

18 Jan '23

Hi, When I subscribe the email list in Subscription Policy is confirm, Some problems happen in here： 1.Some mail mua reject send the confirm the message, because the length of recipient is too long. for exmaple: requirements-confirm+9605556e0b35a5da280c1de0d34a3e6f770f8ea5@domain, and the mail mua reject to modify about this. 2.It is inconvenient for users to use. Many people will mistakenly think that after clicking the subscribe button, it will be successful, and they will not process the email. Regarding the discussion on the subscription method of the mailing list, should we consider optimizing the subscription method of the mailing list, for example: 1. use the method of sending a verification code to subscribe by email，When you receive the verification code sent by the mailing list and fill it in again, you can subscribe successfully。 2. use the email to send a connection to confirm the subscription，People click the link to be redirected to a confirmation page to subscribe to the email。

mailman-web causing constant 100% cpu load of mysqld
by Johannes Rohr 16 Jan '23

16 Jan '23

Dear all, with mailmanweb running, the CPU load of mysqld constantly hovers around 100% In /var/log/mysql/errors.log I see repeatedly: 2023-01-13 17:22:42 27198 [Warning] Aborted connection 27198 to db: 'mailman_core' user: 'mailman' host: 'localhost' (Got an error reading communication packets) 2023-01-13 17:27:43 29621 [Warning] Aborted connection 29621 to db: 'mailman_core' user: 'mailman' host: 'localhost' (Got an error reading communication packets) This also seems to affect other services such as dovecot which rely on mysql and at times can't connect to it. Does anyone have a suggestion what to do about this? Cheers, Johannes

Error Logging - what changed with the New Year releases?
by Odhiambo Washington 15 Jan '23

15 Jan '23

Apart from all the defaults in settings.py (derived from gitlab), I also have this line: LOGGING['handlers']['file']['filename'] = '/opt/mailman/mm/var/logs/mailmanweb.log' Before the New Year releases of MM3, I used to get errors written to this file. Not anymore after I updated to the New Year releases. Another thing that I have realized is that prior to the New Year releases, I would get an error logged to that file and also mailed to me. I don't think that I have changed anything in settings,py related to logging. I have been trying to get signup with Twitter working. This used to generate an error that was both logged and emailed, but that isn't happening anymore. I have enabled other social auth providers (in settings.py) which I haven't configured in the admin panel. I expect that tying to use these on Postorius would generate an error that is logged and mailed to admin, but that too is not happening. Just checking out what might have changed - or if I am going nuts :-) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft.", egrep -v '^$|^.*#' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ :-)

Moderation request reminders
by Allan Hansen 14 Jan '23

14 Jan '23

Hi all, I and my moderators are getting daily moderation request reminders. Is there a way to set them to be weekly instead? I looked around in the UI for it but did not see it. It started with my latest server upgrade. As list owner I get 50+ of these messages every morning and my modertors each get only one, but don't like it. I still don't see a link for my moderators to see the membership lists even though the lists are set to allow it. Is that among the planned bug fixes? Yours, Allan
