How to delete user completely?
by William Oliver 22 Jan '22

22 Jan '22

I have installed mailman3 and it's up and running great. However, I noticed that, during a mass subscribe, I mis-typed an address, e.g. name(a)domain.ned rather than name(a)domain.net. I found how to unsubscribe the bad address, but I haven't found a "delete" option under Users or anywhere else. How to I purge a user from the users list? As a related question, in docs.mailman.org, I can find a list member's manual, but I can't seem to find an admin manual. Is there one? Thanks! billo

Speed/progress of update_index_one_list?
by Philip Colmer 21 Jan '22

21 Jan '22

Yesterday, I ran "mailman-web update_index_one_list" against a mailing list. The command output "Indexing 328077 emails" and that is the last I've heard from it. The process is still running but, looking in ~mailman/web/logs, I can't see anything happening related to that list. Is there any way to determine how far this process has got, or what it is actually doing? (Without stopping it) For future indexing, what makes the most difference to the speed? Does it benefit from having multiple cores if I resize the AWS instance to a larger processor? What is the bottleneck for this process? Thank you. Regards Philip

Problem creating list members using REST API
by Stephen Daniel 19 Jan '22

19 Jan '22

Mailman3 experts -- I am trying to subscribe a user to a mailing list via the REST API. This works: Posting to url http://localhost:8001/3.1/members POST payload: { "list_id": "<LISTID>", "subscriber": "d13b0bbb29844eb9af4b38dad7bb3707", } RESULT post of "http://localhost:8001/3.1/members" succeeds with code 202 This works does *not *work Posting to url http://localhost:8001/3.1/members POST payload: { "list_id": "<LISTID>", "subscriber": "d13b0bbb29844eb9af4b38dad7bb3707", "pre_approved": true } RESULT post of "http://localhost:8001/3.1/members" fails with code 500 Any suggestions? As best I can tell, inclusion of *any* boolean types in my JSON causes the error code 500. FWIW I am generating the JSON using go language's JSON package. I noticed in the API doc that the boolean values are represented as 'True' rather than 'true'. So I tried converting all instances of 'true' to 'True' in my encoded json. That produced an http 400 error, as it probably should. Thanks! -- Stephen

Mirroring a mailman3 server
by Axel Rau 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

Hi all, I have 2 list servers (lists4 and lists5) in an HA configuration. Both share a CNAME (lists.framail.de) in DNS. In case of failover, the postgresql server on the peer becomes master and the CNAME is updated to point at the peer. Both database servers are kept à jour by replication. What else must be synced (by rsync)? Currently (the CNAME points at mailman 2.1 server at the peer. While creating a domain, what should I enter into the fields? Mail Host lists.framail.de (currently lists5.lrau.net) Alias Domain listsl.framail.de Web Host lists.framail.de (currently lists5.lrau.net) Any help appreciated, Axel --- PGP-Key: CDE74120 ☀ computing @ chaos claudius

REST API for "members" collection?
by Stephen Daniel 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

Mailman3 People -- I am trying to manage subscriptions via the REST API. Most of my attempts at using the API work. For example, I can get the list of users: For example: http GET request "http://localhost:8001/3.1/users" returns 200 However, attempting to get the "members" collection fails. http GET request "http://localhost:8001/3.1/members" returns 400 The documentation here <https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/rest/docs/…> suggests this should work. Any thoughts? Am I using the wrong URL to get the "members" collection? I also tried using the domain URL/members, but that returned a 404 error code. I've also tried posting a structure like this: { "list_id": "LISTNAME", "subscriber": "swd(a)pobox.com", "pre_verified": true, "pre_confirmed": true, "pre_Approved": true, "send_welcome_message": false, "delivery_mode": "regular", "delivery_status": "by_user" } to the members collection, in an attempt to create a subscription. That got an error code 500 Thanks! -- Stephen

EMWD Mailing Lists Down
by Sherry Xie 16 Jan '22

16 Jan '22

Hi all, I am an EMWD Mailman 3 customer, and I recently realized my mailing lists are no longer working (the last email that went through was sent on December 25, 2021). Emails I send to the lists do not show up in archives or reach subscribers. It seems like others have had this issue before since ownership of the company was transferred following Brian Carpenter's passing – has anyone been able to get in touch with support or get their issues resolved? I've submitted a support ticket but have no idea if this is being monitored. I also have no way to contact the current management team, as only their names were announced in the November 5, 2021 email from Barbara Carpenter. Any help would be greatly appreciated – thanks in advance! Sherry

Question about adding addresses using the REST API
by Stephen Daniel 16 Jan '22

16 Jan '22

Mailman3 experts -- It is clear from many aspects of the documentation that mailman3 may have addresses in its database that are not connected to any user. I would like to create such addresses using the REST API. The REST API documentation does not suggest this is possible, nor does trying an obvious POST request to the addresses collection work (returns a 405 error). The only way I've found to create addresses with the REST API is to create users. The only way I've found to create a standalone address (not linked to any user) is to create a user with that address, unlink the address, then delete the user. Is there a more straightforward way to just create an address with no user? Thanks! -- Stephen Daniel

nginx configuration on a multitasking server
by David Newman 16 Jan '22

16 Jan '22

Couple of questions about the sample nginx configuration given in the venv doc and the Mailman Mailman Suite Documentation v. 3.3 PDF: server { listen 443 ssl default_server; listen [::]:443 ssl default_server; server_name MY_SERVER_NAME; location /static/ { alias /opt/mailman/web/static/; } location / { proxy_pass 127.0.0.1:8000; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; } ssl_certificate /path-to-ssl-certs/cert.pem; ssl_certificate_key /path-to-ssl-certs/privkey.pem; } 1. At least on my system, the proxy_pass statement will only run without errors if I change this to a fully formed URL, e.g., 'proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000'. Is this a typo in the docs? 2. What document root(s) and alias(es) to use for Postorius and Hyperkitty and the Django admin on a server that also runs other services (e.g., Postfix for non-list mail and Roundcubemail)? With MM2, I use location statements with their own root and aliases: location /mailman { root /usr/lib/cgi-bin; fastcgi_split_path_info (^/mailman/[^/]+)(/.*)$; fastcgi_pass unix:///var/run/fcgiwrap.socket; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME \ $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info; } location /images/mailman { alias /var/lib/mailman/icons; } location /icons { alias /var/lib/mailman/icons; } location /pipermail { alias /var/lib/mailman/archives/public; autoindex on; } What is the MM3 equivalent way to do this? I think root would be somewhere under /opt/mailman but don't know exactly where, or which locations to point to. Many thanks! dn
