Templates via Webinterface are i) not set, and ii) set templates (files) are not shown in the Webinterface
by Wikinaut Sept. 30, 2023

Sept. 30, 2023

I use mailman3 since a while, for some of my lists I have been using - list:member:digest:footer.txt - list:member:regular:footer.txt When I go to "Vorlagen" (LC: DE) (templates) in the web interface, I do _not_ see these two templates! When I got o my newest mailing list and when I setup templates via the Webinterfaces, these are shown there, but are neither working nor seen as files. What's wrong here? Is that a problem of the localisation language (DE)? Bug, feature or misunderstanding of myself?

Is there a way of recording bounce messages?
by Andrew Hodgson Sept. 28, 2023

Sept. 28, 2023

Hi. I recently had an incident of all gmail.com members being bounced off one email list (around 180 subscribers). The messages recording the bounce don't include the original DSN. Is there a way of getting the DSN recorded? I'm sure it will give me some nonsense Gmail refusal message but I would like to identify if messages are bouncing for specific users, or if I am harming my reputation by sending to disabled accounts etc. Thanks. Andrew.

Mailing list name with capital letters?
by mrl＠psfc.mit.edu Sept. 26, 2023

Sept. 26, 2023

How can I create a mailing list with capital letters? Right now, only the first letter can be capitalized. Some of my mailing list names in mailman 2 had capital letters. When I migrated them to mailman 3, the capital letters remained. So it should be possible to create new ones? Thanks. - Mark

Mailman 3 - Header Filter
by Thomas Lehker Sept. 25, 2023

Sept. 25, 2023

I am a Mailman neophyte and need help with filtering posts based on the subject field. We have a few list owners that want 'Out of Office' replies discarded. When using the below syntax in Postorius/Header filter the post is not discarded but ends up in 'Held Messages'. Is there any syntax I am missing or a setting in the lists that needs to be disabled/enabled to get these posts dropped? Any help is much appreciated.

Issues with @gmail.com addresses
by Mohsen Masoudfar Sept. 25, 2023

Sept. 25, 2023

Hi, since 8/1/2023 I get complains from users with @gmail.com addresses, that they are not getting any emails. I checked the logs and I see that the emails are going out: to=<xxxx(a)gmail.com>, relay=email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com[35.169.171.20]:587, delay=0.46, delays=0.03/0.06/0.13/0.24, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Ok xxx ) But it seems the users are getting email delivered to them. I’ve advised them to check their spam, promotions, and social folders and to add the list address to their email safe-senders lists, but still no success. Is there any way to help this list members? Thanks

Strange password problem
by Eggert Ehmke Sept. 25, 2023

Sept. 25, 2023

This happened several times recently with Postorius Version 1.3.8: -I try to log in as admin -rejected because of wrong password (password is stored in browser) -used forgotten password function -reset password to the stored value from browser -login works now. Works also when logged out/in again -however, the next day this behaviour repeats. Any hints?

Message getting held due to max number of recipients and maximum message size
by Wong, Wesley Sept. 22, 2023

Sept. 22, 2023

Hi all, I am running into an issue with messages getting held for a list with the following reasons: The message is being held because: Message has more than 10 recipients The message is larger than the 40 KB maximum size Either the message will get posted to the list, or you will receive notification of the moderator's decision. Currently, the settings are set to 0 for both settings on the list so I am not sure where mailman is getting the default settings. Is this default hard coded somewhere in the Mailman core? The version of Mailman running is 3.3.6. Any help for this issue is greatly appreciate. wesley Wesley Wong Senior Systems Engineer Anderson Computing & Information Services | ACIS 310-206-2571 [ucla-logo---new_smaller] ___________________________________________ Mailman's content filtering has removed the following MIME parts from this message.

Understood. My issue is the lists were imported from MM2.1 in 2020 into MM3.2.1 onto hyperkitty+mariadb/mysql.

I have to move the lists onto a new Debian 12 server using the native mailman 3.3.8 & mailman-web 0+20200530-2 packages. I tried dropping in the old mailman3 database under the new software but that did not work. Instead I manually imported the old mailman3 data directly into the new mailman3 database as, after inspections, there were no new tables and only a couple of additional fields which have suitable defaults. So dumped the mailman3 data with mysqldump --no-create-info --no-create-db --disable-keys --complete-insert --ignore-table=mailman3.alembic_version mailman3 and simply imported the dump into the new schema. OK so far. The lists showed up in postorius, obviously without archives in hyperkitty. > The normal way to upgrade a HyperKitty archive is to do nothing, just > upgrade the software. I guess you moved to a new host and deleted the > database? The preferred way is to dump the database to SQL, and then > load it in to the new database directly rather than downloading the > mbox files and importing. No ambiguity and much faster. Thats what I thought initially, but that failed as per https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message…. As my old installation appears to have the django_migrations table inconsistent with the state of the database, and Debian have been unresponsive so far. Unfortunately the same mailman3-style manual import of mailman3web from old mailman3web db into the new db was not possible. There were additional tables and fields that needed values rather than defaults. Instead I opted to download the mbox exports from the old installation via the web interface and import them into the new installation for expediency.This is where I was when I posted the message. However, the old installation's mbox archive export (from the database) was problematic (e.g. 5min timeout) but after getting around those issues I ended up with some broken mbox files (e.g. the "From 1st April ..." line within a message, resulting in hyperkitty_import failures). > > although I tested downloading this thread archive and it is clearly > > escaped.

I thought that ">From " would be escaped to ">>From ", and so on, so the escape could easily be reversed when imported. I tested exports from the mailman-users lists and lines beginning "From " (preceded by a blank line) are escaped to ">From ", so incorrectly figured this would be unescaped by hyperkitty_import. After all, I would expect that an export of the archive to mbox, followed by a delete of the archive, followed by a hyperkitty_import of the archive, should leave you at the same place. Not with ">From " escapes in the new archives. In fact I also had a number of messages with "Message-ID: <>" and worse: all messages with attachments had the text/plain content empty.

Thanks for the pointer. As I had already done the same with mailman3, so repeated the excercise. The following dump and import worked. oldhost> mysqldump --no-create-info --no-create-db --disable-keys --complete-insert mailman3web > mailman3web.sql newhost> mysql MariaDB [(none]> use mailman3web MariaDB [mailman3web]> source mailman3web.sql Thanks again -- Alex
