Held Message view, JSONDecodeError: Invalid control character

I am running the Debian 10 mailman3 and mailman3-web packages with mariadb. I received an email to the list from an invoicing software and now I am unable to view or accept this email from the list. All other lists seem to be still working fine. I'm guessing there is a piece of data in my database that is corrupt or unable to be decoded, but I am at a loss on how to find and fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated ``` Sep 11 12:29:23 2020 (11577) 127.0.0.1 - - "GET /3.1/lists/redacted(a)redacted.com/held?count=0&page=1 HTTP/1.1" 200 90 Sep 11 12:29:23 2020 (11577) REST request handler error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.7/wsgiref/handlers.py", line 137, in run self.result = application(self.environ, self.start_response) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/database/transaction.py", line 50, in wrapper rtn = function(*args, **kws) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/rest/wsgiapp.py", line 216, in __call__ return super().__call__(environ, start_response) File "falcon/api.py", line 215, in falcon.api.API.__call__ File "falcon/api.py", line 189, in falcon.api.API.__call__ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/rest/post_moderation.py", line 160, in on_get resource = self._make_collection(request) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/rest/helpers.py", line 159, in _make_collection for resource in collection] File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/rest/helpers.py", line 159, in <listcomp> for resource in collection] File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/rest/post_moderation.py", line 150, in _resource_as_dict resource = self._make_resource(request.id) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/rest/post_moderation.py", line 70, in _make_resource resource = super()._make_resource(request_id) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/rest/post_moderation.py", line 39, in _make_resource results = requests.get_request(request_id) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/database/transaction.py", line 85, in wrapper return function(args[0], config.db.store, *args[1:], **kws) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/model/requests.py", line 120, in get_request result.data_hash, expunge=False) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/database/transaction.py", line 85, in wrapper return function(args[0], config.db.store, *args[1:], **kws) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/model/pending.py", line 142, in confirm value = json.loads(keyvalue.value) File "/usr/lib/python3.7/json/__init__.py", line 348, in loads return _default_decoder.decode(s) File "/usr/lib/python3.7/json/decoder.py", line 337, in decode obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end()) File "/usr/lib/python3.7/json/decoder.py", line 353, in raw_decode obj, end = self.scan_once(s, idx) json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Invalid control character at: line 1 column 21 (char 20) ```

Mailman3 throws 500 error (unicode encode) when loading held messages in Postorius
by Simon Handfield 14 Sep '20

14 Sep '20

Hi, I have been working through other threads that indicate the same symptom (500 error when loading held_messages for a list). These include potential truncation of values in pendedkeyvalue table (don't this is our problem) and error when trying to access a message in /var/lib/mailman3/messages (ran the suggested code to loop through the stored files but no error was thrown.)

How to set the original sender to the Reply-To?
by Marcel Pietschmann 12 Sep '20

12 Sep '20

Hi everybody, I have a settings problem. Mailman adds the original sender to the Reply-To or Cc in the case where there's a reply to setting in force on the list. In my case, mailman sets the sender always to Cc. How can i change it? Greets Marcel My settings: Personalize = None Anonymous list = No Reply to list = No Munging DMARC = Munge the From: header with list adress

Failed first login

Hi everyone, i installed mailman3-full on debian 10. During installation, it asks me to enter the admin user credentials. After configuration, I restart mailman3 and mailman3-web. When I try to log in for the first time by entering the admin credentials, a message warns me that the credentials are incorrect. I looked at the mailman logs, but I find nothing. It seems that it is a django authentication problem, because even in the django admin panel I can't log in. Looking at the mailman3web db, in the auth_user table, I see the admin user. How can I see why it does not accept the credentials? Thank you in advance

Messages disappearing into hole??
by Ruth Ivimey-Cook 11 Sep '20

11 Sep '20

Folks, I have been trying to set up a mailing list that is mostly for message distribution, so there is a single sender of messages and multiple receivers, but the receivers are moderated. I wouldn't mind receiver messages being explicitly rejected but that's not an issue for now. I looked around the interface and decided to set up the sender as a non-member, as that appeared to permit them to be "special" and outside of the normal access rules for the list. Before I did that I could send a message from this sender and that would be sent to me as list owner for moderation, so both incoming (from my mailserver) and outgoing (to it) can be completed. However, with a non-member who is auto-accepted the message is passed from my mailserver to mailman and then disappears. I cannot find anything in the logs to indicate what happened next. I have tried setting the default non-member policy to both 'hold' and 'default' with no change in that behaviour. The logs for the mailserver show the message being sent to mailman; mailman's "smtp.log" shows an LMTP message being received ok, and then nothing. Any ideas how to find out what is going on? I can share config if that helps but not sure what would be useful. As a side-issue, at one point I added a regex matching the sender address to the acceptable members list, but find that I cannot now delete it (using postorius): If I delete the field and Save, it returns on page refresh.

messages go to shunt queue

Hi guys, I've faced weird Core behaviour after the last upgrade of the docker images. All the messages sent to a list now go straight to shunt queue with the following error in the logs: --- Sep 06 22:41:32 2020 (27) Uncaught runner exception: 0 Sep 06 22:41:32 2020 (27) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 173, in _one_iteration self._process_one_file(msg, msgdata) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 266, in _process_one_file keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mailman/runners/incoming.py", line 79, in _dispose process(mlist, msg, msgdata, start_chain) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mailman/core/chains.py", line 57, in process if link.rule.check(mlist, msg, msgdata): File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mailman/rules/dmarc.py", line 314, in check if maybe_mitigate(mlist, address): File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mailman/rules/dmarc.py", line 286, in maybe_mitigate answer = is_reject_or_quarantine( File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mailman/rules/dmarc.py", line 217, in is_reject_or_quarantine for record in txt_rec.items[0].strings) KeyError: 0 Sep 06 22:41:32 2020 (27) SHUNTING: 1599432092.4326646+4cbb58a0dd5d9705946ca583835e63ec175536e3 I'm witnessing the same behaviour in two different installations for all the messages sent to list (with plain text body like "it's a test"). --- Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Please help: Mailaman3 -
by Jane Anara 06 Sep '20

06 Sep '20

Hello everyone, I hope my questions don't sound ridiculous. In my team, I have been tasked with moving our mailman installations from version 1:2.1 to the current version, mailman3. I followed the documentations online and installed all the components, created a Django project and configured settings.py and url.py. However, when I run the development server, I receive the following on the body of Postorius main page: Page not found This page either doesn't exist, or it moved somewhere else. Clicking on the "Lists" menu link, I receive the following: HTTP Error 404: <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> <title>example.com</title> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/static/postorius/img/favicon.ico"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/postorius/libs/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/django-mailman3/css/main.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/postorius/css/style.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/postorius/libs/fonts/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css" type="text/css" media="all" />    </head> <body> <nav class="navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-light bg-light navbar-default"> <div class="container"> <div class="navbar-header"> <button type="button" class="navbar-toggler collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#header-nav" aria-expanded="false"> <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span> <span class="fa fa-bars"></span> </button> <a class="navbar-brand" href="/mailman3/lists/"><span><img src="/static/postorius/img/mailman_logo_small_trans.png" alt="Mailman logo"/> Postorius</span></a> </div> <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="header-nav"> <ul class="nav navbar-nav mr-auto"> <li class="nav-item"><a href="/mailman3/lists/" class="nav-link"> <span class="fa fa-envelope"></span> Lists </a></li> <li class="nav-item"><a href="/archives/" class="nav-link"> <span class="fa fa-comment"></span> Archives </a></li> </ul> <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right"> <li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="/accounts/login/?next=/3.1/lists"> <span class="fa fa-sign-in"></span> Login </a></li> <li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="/accounts/signup/?next=/3.1/lists"> <span class="fa fa-user-plus"></span> Sign Up </a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </nav> <div class="container" role="main"> <h1>Page not found</h1> <div class="alert alert-danger">This page either doesn't exist, or it moved somewhere else.</div> </div> <footer class="footer"> <div class="container"> <p class="text-center"> <a href="https://postorius.readthedocs.org">Postorius Documentation</a> • <a href="http://list.org">GNU Mailman</a> • Postorius Version 1.3.3 • Happy Mailman Day! </p> </div> </footer> <script src="/static/postorius/libs/jquery/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.11.0/umd/popper.min.js" integrity="sha384-b/U6ypiBEHpOf/4+1nzFpr53nxSS+GLCkfwBdFNTxtclqqenISfwAzpKaMNFNmj4" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <script src="/static/postorius/libs/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script> <script src="/static/django-mailman3/js/main.js"></script> <script src="/static/postorius/js/script.js"></script> </body> </html> So far, the Postorious component is where there seem to be issues, all other link or component produce no errors thus far.

Looking forward to any help anyone can render. Thank you! Regards, Jane.

Struggling with log rotation in Docker context
by skenny＠scss.tcd.ie 05 Sep '20

05 Sep '20

I'm running Mailman 3 via maxking's Docker implementation, and had an incident recently where something went badly wrong, and the file uwsgi-error.log filled up. As a consequence, so did the file system where that file resides,and things ground to a halt. The file is visible on the Docker host as /opt/mailman/web/logs/uwsgi-error.log. I am unsure about how to rotate this file correctly. I could use logrotate on the host, but I can't locate any documentation that describes how to signal the relevant processes inside the mailman-web container. (Maybe this should be done within the container?) I'd be grateful for any good advice on this. Stephen

mailman procesing small amount of mail, then stop process them like 30 seconds, and then loop back
by mathias.bedu＠epitech.eu 04 Sep '20

04 Sep '20

Hi, I am currently trying to optimize my mailman installation, which is working. The only issue is that i see that mailman seems to process a few number of messages (around 50 each times), then stopping, and then processing few next messages. I spend quite some times searching for eventual parameters that could slow down. I precise that the machine itself is largely more powerful than what mailman is using. So my question is : could you give me some leads for potentials parameters or stuff like this that i could modify to optimize the installation ? Best regards, Mathias
