My list has been switched from public to private archives, but they are still visible
by Paul Arenson 20 Sep '19

Can anyone help with this? I set my list to private archives today. Up until then, it was pubic. And yet, if you go to the list page, you will see that if you click archives (top left), you can see them. (Filled with a bunch of tests posts for now) https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/postorius/lists/discuss.list.tokyoprogres… Am I misunderstanding what a private archive is? Is something wrong with my setup (which is hosted)? Thank you.

Mailing List Description that can't be modified by list owners
by chilfer＠unr.edu 20 Sep '19

20 Sep '19

Is there a way to create an additional mailing list field or lock down the current Description or Information fields so they are not modifiable by a list owner? The goal is to have a field that identifies the department or area a list belongs to so that it's easier to find if an owner leaves the organization and the owner needs to be updated on multiple lists.

Execution of msgfmt failed when performing post upgrade steps
by Torge Riedel 17 Sep '19

17 Sep '19

Hi, I'm currently running a test setup of MM3 using Mark Sapiros approach with two venv. I also adopted his post-upgrade-script for the web part (django). Just some minutes ago I updated the packages of my test setup with pip3 where hyperkitty is now 1.3.0 When runnin the post-upgrade-script I get the following error message: Execution of msgfmt failed: /opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/hyperkitty/locale/nb_NO/LC_MESSAGES/django.po:630: duplicate message definition... /opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/hyperkitty/locale/nb_NO/LC_MESSAGES/django.po:273: ...this is the location of the first definition msgfmt: found 1 fatal error Not sure whether this is an error of MM3 or one of its dependency packages. Best regards Torge

hosted signup is producing unexpected results
by tokyoprogressive＠mac.com 17 Sep '19

17 Sep '19

In my test of the two forms of signup, I am getting these unexpected results. Is it my settings or is something weird within the program itself? 1) https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/postorius/lists/discuss.list.tokyoprogres… 2) Choose "You can also subscribe without creating an account. If you wish to do so, please use the form below" 3) Then I have to approve it. They get "Welcome to the "Discuss" mailing list! To post to this list, send your email to: discuss(a)list.tokyoprogressive.org 4) But I have to approve it.I assume this is because they do not yet have a real account. And they should be listed as a NON MEMBER? 5) But even when they sign up here: https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/accounts/signup/?next=%2Fpostorius%2Flist… they get an email from my provider (NOT MY LIST????) as follows: "Hello from mailman3.emwd.com! You're receiving this e-mail because user iCloud has given yours as an e-mail address to connect their account. To confirm this is correct, go to https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/accounts/confirm-email/MTE3:1iA44k:E7w7xh… Thank you from mailman3.emwd.com! mailman3.emwd.com" 6) And this is where it gets weird. If they send from their email program and get the welcome (Welcome to the "Discuss" mailing list! To post to this list, send your email to: discuss(a)list.tokyoprogressive.org You can unsubscribe or make adjustments to your options via email by sending a message to....... I then get a notice: "Your mail to 'discuss(a)list.tokyoprogressive.org' with the subject test notice 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" 7) While if they send FROM THE interface it goes through. 8) What I am confused about. Signing up for an account should make them a member, right? Subscribing should make them a non member, no? But here it seems that both make them a non member. And worse, someone with an account sending from the Interface has their message get through while the same person sending from an email program has me get a notice that a non member is trying to post. Before I can move my actual members over from another mailing list provider, I want to make sure what works and what doesn't. Thanks. paul!!!

HyperKitty and duplicate emails across maillists
by Derek Lambert 17 Sep '19

17 Sep '19

How does HyperKitty handle duplicate messages/message-ids across maillists? We have quite a few lists that are members of other lists. I'm in the process of importing our old Mailman 2.1 archives and seeing a lot of duplicate message errors, and wondering if this is why. Would new messages coming into Mailman be handled the same way? Thanks, Derek

Template's encoding setup
by Ugnius 15 Sep '19

15 Sep '19

I use Lithuanian language (it has special characters like ąčįū...) for regular message template feature. I noticed that some posts come correct, but some have question marks (?) in places of these characters. Looks like there is sittings trick. But footers adds mailman, so it should be always correct, or it depends on senders environment setup? Kind regards Ugnius

Weird recipient
by Andrew Bernard 12 Sep '19

12 Sep '19

Both before and after upgrading tonight, my lists send out bizarre recipients that I cannot understand. It usually happens at the end of the distribution to other valid recipients. Sep 5 10:05:54 www postfix/smtp[3344]: A5DF9FA14E: to=<0101016d00e302ec-4db56da5-fd69-4b5e-9327-292c55e13ea8-000000(a)us-west-2.amazonses.com>, relay=email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com[52.36.120.66]:587, delay=2.4, delays=0/0/2.2/0.22, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com[52.36.120.66] said: 501 Invalid MAIL FROM address provided (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) Help! This behaviour is able to be replicated - it happens on every post. Andrew

Alter Messages: Reply to confusion
by paul＠arenson.org 12 Sep '19

12 Sep '19

This is one thing I am confused about. The explanations in the settings about No Munging, etc. are not completely clear. MY GOAL What I want to make sure, since this is a discussion list, is that most messages go to the mailing list, not to individuals. I plan to put something in one of the templates to remind people that a reply goes to the discussion list. If they do not want to send it to everyone, they should send to the original poster. 1) I understand there are plusses and minuses but I am not sure I understand the explanation given. If it IS preferable to use NO MUNGING, how do I make sure that this is easy to accomplish? 2) I can put something in the footer of every message to remind people, but first I need confirmation of what I should choose in this section. Thanks in advance.

Mailman 3 installation, no mails in hyperkitty, unable to add footer.
by ugniusviln＠gmail.com 12 Sep '19

12 Sep '19

I have read documentation, but still have stupid questions, could You please help, because I can't make it working. I do not understand something important. I have no experience with python at all. I have mailman 3, python 3.5 in my debian OS system, and additional packages like uwsgi and ect. using https://buildmedia.readthedocs.org/media/pdf/gnu-mailman/latest/gnu-mailman… about till chapter 6. I understand mailman suite has hyperkitty already. But I am not sure about: 1. Does mailman-suite have hyper-kitty inside? Because if I run $python manage.py runserver - it runs. In installed it under dedicated OS user home and fonfigured to run. I can create lists, event add lists to hyperkitty page using: $django-admin runjob new_lists_from_mailman list server sends messages to list members as well. But nothing happens more. No emails come to hyperkitty, arciver log 0 size. $ python manage.py runjobs -l shows the lists of the jobs, so seems nothing to add. Except uwsgi.ini, I have only 2 configuration files in mailman-suite project directory: settings.py and mailman.cfg So I do not understand what did I configured badly. 2. If I (using Postorius web interface) add footer template to my list under regular message, something strange happens. Mailman stops to send messages for list members. No any entries in the logs. Just Mailman log writes: "unable to connect localhost port 25" and no more explanation. If I delete list's footer template (web interface), mailman starts working again. What is bad here? How to add custom footer? In mailman 2 if was working so good and was easy to setup.
