Running mailman3 on AWS and dealing with SES email verification
by Mohsen Masoudfar May 1, 2020

May 1, 2020

Hi, This seems to be a very basic question and/or issue, but I could not find a reliable for it: Assume a list member with the email address like (just as an example) joe.student(a)university.edu<mailto:joe.student@university.edu> sends an email to a list, Mailman gets the email, processes it and would try to send that email to all members with a sender field as: 'joe.student(a)university.edu<mailto:joe.student@university.edu>'. plus listname(a)listserver.TLD<mailto:listname@listserver.TLD> AWS allows verified email addresses to send an email from an EC2 to internet, so the listname(a)listserver.TLD<mailto:listname@listserver.TLD> is OK, because listserver.TLD is already verified, BUT Joe's email is not and cannot be, because there are thousands of list users and they can change daily. The result is that Mailman's try to send the email would fail with the following error message: Message rejected: Email address is not verified. The following identities failed the check in region US-EAST-1: joe.student(a)university.edu<mailto:joe.student@university.edu> I changed the list property and made it an anonymous one, and it started sending the emails to the whole list members, but only with listname(a)listserver.TLD<mailto:listname@listserver.TLD> as the sender. So the list recipients cannot know the initiator of the discussion. I found some solution: * Asking the members to add their email to the signature * manipulating the from field and add the name of the sender as a comment, not that easy, needs some Python code * manipulating the from files and replacing the @ with something else, not that easy, needs some Python code * . . . More important: None of these would allow a simple click on the reply bottom to send the email to the original sender. I am thinking of running mailman on-premise and use our email relay, which we have full control on. But really, there is no elegant solution for this? I already opened a ticket with AWS support and they just insisted on their policy of verification.

Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table
by Mohsen Masoudfar May 1, 2020

May 1, 2020

Hi, I created a list called list_b@newlistserv.<tld<mailto:list_b@newlistserv.%3ctld>> , and added a user to it and invited the user. The user got a welcome email, when the user replies with help, The email gets rejected with the message: list_b wasn't found at newlistserv.<tld> and I see this entry in the postfix log on the server: postfix/smtpd[6757]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-eopbgr750113.outbound.xxx: 550 5.1.1 <list_b(a)newlistserv.xxx>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table; from=<xxx> to=<list_b(a)newlistserv.xxx> proto=ESMTP helo=<NAM02-BL2-obe.outbound.protection.outlook.com> I am new to mailman3, my understanding was, maybe wrong, that when I create a list, mailman3 adds that to the local list of users. I think , I am missing something . . . Or probably this is related to a postfix setting? Best regards Mohsen

I have issue where it does not send emails on to people in the list I create.
by john_warland＠hotmail.com April 30, 2020

April 30, 2020

Hello, I am quite new to Mailman3 and have been trying to get a working local test setup on a single VM (Centos07) I have issue where if I send an email to the list. it does not send emails on to the people subscribed to that list. Note the steps below were put together from memory after a few days of repeatably trying different things so there will be some inaccuracies I have mailman running on same local box as postfix, postorius and hyperkitty. I have root as the superuser in Postorius and have tried the following: In unix shell created new user 'developer' In unix shell created new user 'tester' In shell send an email from developer user to tester: echo 'Hello' | mailx -s 'Hello Subject line' tester(a)sandbox.mytest.com Confirmed user tester received email in cat /home/tester/Maildir/new/ folder: Return-Path: <developer(a)cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com> X-Original-To: tester(a)cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com Delivered-To: tester(a)cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com Received: by cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com (Postfix, from userid 1000) In Postorius web frontend: Signed up as root Received confirmation email in /root/Maildir/new/ folder so cut and pasted the Url in the email to activate account. Created new list called testlist(a)sandbox.mytest.com Logged out Signed up as tester Received confirmation email in /home/tester/Maildir/new/ folder so cut and pasted the Url to activate account. Subscribed tester to the testlist. Next in unix shell su as developer and send an email to testlist(a)sandbox.mytest.com The root user gets the following email Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Your message to testlist(a)cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com awaits moderator approval From: testlist-bounces(a)cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com To: developer(a)cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com Message-ID: <158824480291.3035.17408340520496115243(a)localhost.localdomain> Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2020 11:06:42 +0000 Precedence: bulk X-Mailman-Version: 3.3.0 Your mail to 'testlist(a)cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com' with the subject hello there 2 Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval. The message is being held because: The message is not from a list member Either the message will get posted to the list, or you will receive notification of the moderator's decision. Once I have gone back into Postorius as root and approved the message, root user gets a second email: Return-Path: <testlist-bounces(a)cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com> X-Original-To: root(a)cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com Delivered-To: root(a)cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com Received: from localhost.localdomain (localhost [IPv6:::1]) by cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id E056A84CE4 for <root(a)cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com>; Thu, 30 Apr 2020 11:09:10 +0000 (UTC) Received: by cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com (Postfix, from userid 1000) id 8F1B684CE4; Thu, 30 Apr 2020 11:06:41 +0000 (UTC) Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2020 11:06:41 +0000 To: testlist(a)cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com User-Agent: Heirloom mailx 12.5 7/5/10 MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20200430110641.8F1B684CE4(a)sandbox.mytest.com> From: developer(a)cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com X-MailFrom: developer(a)cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com X-Mailman-Rule-Hits: nonmember-moderation X-Mailman-Rule-Misses: dmarc-mitigation; no-senders; approved; emergency; loop; banned-address; member-moderation Message-ID-Hash: FAPTJKJRZG2ELSOSBRBIDOBWXP3Y5QAY X-Message-ID-Hash: FAPTJKJRZG2ELSOSBRBIDOBWXP3Y5QAY X-Mailman-Approved-At: Thu, 30 Apr 2020 11:09:10 +0000 X-Mailman-Version: 3.3.0 Precedence: list Subject: [Testlist] hello there 2 List-Id: A test list <testlist.sandbox.mytest.com> List-Help: <mailto:testlist-request@sandbox.mytest.com?subject=help> List-Post: <mailto:testlist@sandbox.mytest.com> List-Subscribe: <mailto:testlist-join@sandbox.mytest.com> List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:testlist-leave@sandbox.mytest.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit A test email 2 _______________________________________________ Testlist mailing list -- testlist(a)sandbox.mytest.com To unsubscribe send an email to testlist-leave(a)sandbox.mytest.com At no point does the email appear in the tester(a)sandbox.mytest.com Maildir Configs as follows.. ================================================================================================== /etc/postfix/main.cf: ================================================================================================== queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix command_directory = /usr/sbin daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix data_directory = /var/lib/postfix mail_owner = postfix myhostname = cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com mydomain = sandbox.mytest.com myorigin = $mydomain inet_interfaces = all inet_protocols = all mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, mail.$mydomain, www.$mydomain, ftp.$mydomain, sandbox.mytest.com unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 # Next line Obfuscated mynetworks = 192.***.***.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8 alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases recipient_delimiter = + home_mailbox = Maildir/ debug_peer_level = 2 debug_peer_list = sandbox.mytest.com debugger_command = PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin ddd $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5 sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix setgid_group = postdrop html_directory = no manpage_directory = /usr/share/man sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.10.1/samples readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.10.1/README_FILES disable_dns_lookups = yes owner_request_special = no transport_maps = hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/postfix_lmtp # Setting to nothing fixes 'Recepient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table local_recipient_maps = relay_domains = hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/postfix_domains ================================================================================================== /etc/mailman.cfg ================================================================================================== [devmode] enabled: yes recipient: root(a)sandbox.mytest.com [mailman] # local = Recommended as installing mailman from source.

Importing Mailman 2 Lists apart from Django
by Brian Carpenter April 30, 2020

April 30, 2020

Hello Mailman Users, Are there instructions on importing a Mailman 2 list into a Mailman 3 core installation only? Does the import21 script not need Django/Postorius/Hyperkitty? It seems Django is required to import archives I guess because of the use of Hyperkitty. How about importing archives without having a Django installation? Is that what the prototype archiver for? We are getting ready to start working on a custom forum application for Mailman 3 (called Empathy) and I am would like to import some mailman 2 archives into the development server to work with. Thanks. -- Please let me know if you need further assistance. Thank you for your business. We appreciate our clients.

hyperkitty web site
by Gelpi Andrea April 28, 2020

April 28, 2020

Hi, after importing old mm2 messages into mm3 archive I found that hyperkitty dos not show the lists index in home page if FILTER_VHOST = True https://website/mailman3/hyperkitty/ show an empty lists. If I add list/list@domain1 I can see the archive. I think the problem is the domain name example.com that I saw in the upper left corner. If in django administration I rename that site it works. But having more than one domain this is not a solution. what i need is to separate different domains https:/website1/mailman3/hyperkitty shows some lists https:/website2/mailman3/hyperkitty shows other lists Where am I wrong? What have I to change in hyperkitty to have the correct domain shown? Is there a documentation to configure that? Hyperkitty version is 1.2.2 Thank you. -- Gelpi ing.

How to access my mailman 3 REST API over https and from another machine?
by Shashikanth Komandoor April 28, 2020

April 28, 2020

Hi, I have setup Mailman 3.3 version and would like to use the REST API by another application. But that application is on another machine and so I need to allow accessibility from another machine also. Along with that as I am trying to access from another machine I need to access the REST API of mailman 3 over https only. Could any one guide me to enable mailman 3 REST API over https and access from another machine other than localhost only ? -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936
