Customizing Postorios web templates
by Stefan Bethke Feb. 23, 2026

Feb. 23, 2026

Hi, I have two list servers that I would like customize the web pages for, specifically I need to add some legal information to the footer, and I might want to apply some light branding to the site. I can't find any hints on how to do that, maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? If Postorious does not currently allow that outright, it seems I would need to fork mailman/postorious, replace templates like https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/blob/master/src/postorius/templates/…, and build the package myself. Is this assessment correct? If so, would there be interest in adding a feature to define some blocks that can be overridden more easily, especially during deployment and without having to build custom Python packages?

Can't import from Mailman 2.1
by Paul Tomblin Feb. 23, 2026

Feb. 23, 2026

I set up a new Mailman site using 3.3.10, and copied over my files from my old mailman site (using 2.1.34). I created a new domain, and a new list, and tried to import the settings from the old pickle file using mailman import21 pt-test(a)browncroftna.org /var/tmp/var.lib.mailman/lists/pt-test/config.pck (in the virtual environment shell) but I get the following error ``` File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/mailman/utilities/importer.py", line 512, in import_config_pck default_value = getUtility(ITemplateLoader).get(newvar, mlist) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/mailman/model/template.py", line 211, in get path, fp = find(default_uri, mlist, code) ~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/mailman/utilities/i18n.py", line 157, in find for search_path in raw_search_order: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/mailman/utilities/i18n.py", line 117, in search templates_dir = str(resources.enter_context( ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^ files('mailman').joinpath('templates'))) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.13/contextlib.py", line 528, in enter_context raise TypeError(f"'{cls.__module__}.{cls.__qualname__}' object does " f"not support the context manager protocol") from None TypeError: 'pathlib._local.PosixPath' object does not support the context manager protocol ``` All I can find on Google is a suggestion that I have a non-empty `bounce_info`, but `dumpdb` shows it as empty.

Digestion debugging
by John Price Feb. 21, 2026

Feb. 21, 2026

I'm having trouble getting digests to work. When I try to manually send one, it does nothing, and then the digest gets deleted (I guess?). I would love it if the documentation explained a bit more how the process works. How are the files gathered? What file can I backup and later restore if I'm debugging it? Also, how are the digest issue and volume numbers work? Is there any way to control that? Since I've been running digests for decades, can I set the volume and issue to what I want so that the numbering continues from where the other installation left off? Thanks, John -- Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them?

Feb. 16, 2026

Hello, On my new MM3 that I just installed, I testing unsubscribe user from mailing list. User received email for the unsubscribe in subject line as 'You have been unsubscribed from the Test1 mailing list' with email address 'test1-bounces@domain'. It should receive from test1-unsubscribe@domain instead. Where should I look into this? or configure it. Thanks, Marin

Reply to Confirmation Email During Subscribe Process Receiving ListName-Bounce@Domain
by msok＠lalawlibrary.org Feb. 16, 2026

Feb. 16, 2026

I'm new to MM3. I just finished install it. I setup a test list with default settings as test1@domain. I added a user to the list via Mass Subscription with Pre confirm check and Pre approved check. Inside the user inbox in GMail account received email from address test1-confirm@domain ( I added this erp_confirm_format: $address to [mta] in /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg) with Your confirmation is needed to join the test1@domain mailing list. I replied to the email and I received another email as test1-bounce@domain. I went to my mailing test1@domain. I found a user that I tried to add list in 'Subscription request' under 'Pending Confirmation'. Could you help me to troubleshooting on this? Why I received a list-bounce@domain instead of successfully added or something. Thanks, Marin

Internal Server Error: /mailman3/postorius/lists/.../held_messages - humanize: where to put?

Hi, I have setup in Debian Trixie mailman3-full and came that far, that I have created a mailing list. I can sent emails to the members. However when I send from an email which is non-member the message is held. If I want to accept this message as list admin, I get: `An error occurred while processing your request.` And I get an email: `Internal Server Error: /mailman3/postorius/.../held_messages TemplateSyntaxError at /postorius/lists/.../held_messages 'humanize' is not a registered tag library.

In this file I I configured Django. However it's not in the Python path as written in the error email above. So maybe I have to find a different settings file. Can anyone advise me where I can find the error I have in my configuration? Thanks in advance. Flo
