How to configure a mailing list?
by Patrick Ben Koetter March 10, 2020

March 10, 2020

Greetings, I do have mailman 3 installed via virtualenv and it is up an running. Now I'd like to create a mailing list, but I can't find any instructions how I should do this. Is there a resource online I missed? If not, can anyone on this list tell me how to do it preferrably using a command line tool?

Help on removing moderators
by sean_sullivan＠rhoworld.com March 4, 2020

March 4, 2020

Hello Mailman-users. I was hoping someone more experienced than myself would be able to help me with an issue I am currently experiencing. I have created a function to add moderators which works great, but I have also been trying to remove moderators as another function, but I am running into some issues. When I use the mailman shell based upon the documentation, it works great: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailmanclient/en/latest/src/mailmanclien… everything works as expected. However, if I try and bring that in as a function that can be used with mailman withlist, I am consistently getting errors, and being that I am not very experienced in python, it has me scratching my head to say the least. from mailmanclient import Client from mailman.interfaces.member import MemberRole, AlreadySubscribedError from mailman.testing.helpers import subscribe addresses = ['test1(a)example.com', 'test2(a)example.com', 'test3(a)example.com'] client = Client('http://localhost:8001/3.1', 'restadmin', 'restpass') def set_owners(mlist): for email_addr in addresses: try: member = subscribe(mlist, '', email=email_addr, role=MemberRole.owner ) print (member) except AlreadySubscribedError as err: print (err) def remove(mlist): my_list = client.get_list(mlist) # print(my_list.fqdn_listname) # for email_addr in addresses: # my_list.remove_owner(email_addr) The errors I am getting are: ./bin/mailman withlist -r set_owners.remove -l it-test-b(a)lists.rhoworld.com Traceback (most recent call last): File "./bin/mailman", line 8, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 764, in __call__ return self.main(*args, **kwargs) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 717, in main rv = self.invoke(ctx) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/bin/mailman.py", line 68, in invoke return super().invoke(ctx) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 1137, in invoke return _process_result(sub_ctx.command.invoke(sub_ctx)) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 956, in invoke return ctx.invoke(self.callback, **ctx.params) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 555, in invoke return callback(*args, **kwargs) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/decorators.py", line 17, in new_func return f(get_current_context(), *args, **kwargs) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/commands/cli_withlist.py", line 293, in shell r = call_name(dotted_name, m, *run_args) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/utilities/modules.py", line 70, in call_name return named_callable(*args, **kws) File "/opt/mailman3/bin/set_owners.py", line 24, in remove my_list = client.get_list(mlist) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailmanclient/client.py", line 347, in get_list 'lists/{0}'.format(fqdn_listname)) File "/opt/mailman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/connection.py", line 112, in call error_msg, response, None) urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: 404 Not Found So, I am wondering, is it possible to do something like this or am I completely misunderstanding the documentation, and why do I get a 404 here, when in the shell everything works as expected. I know I must be missing something, but cannot for the life of me figure out what that is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sean

Mailman web Stopped working after upgrade
by David Krantz March 3, 2020

March 3, 2020

Hi. I have a VERY strange behaviour. I upgraded mailman3 and mailman web this weekend. It works fine (apart from ARC which don't work correctly in my setup but that is ok). But tonight the web user interface stopped working and I have not been logged in since it worked last time so something very strange is going on. I get the dreadful error message about psycopg2._psycopg is missing although it is installed both in ubuntu and in pip in the venv I run mailman. Mailman core still works fine, it is just Django being flaky. I think that this might be due to some kind of python misfeature where compiled code behaves slightly differently to interpreted code, that might explain the delay in it working initially before breaking. I have no idea of how to solve this. I have tried to uninstall and reinstlall psycopg2 in different versions without any luck. Any ideas? Logs below. I get the following in the web server error log (removing the web things that frankly are not interesting): mod_wsgi (pid=4488): Target WSGI script 'MAILMANROOT/bin/mailman-web20200229.wsgi' cannot be loaded as Python module. mod_wsgi (pid=4488): Exception occurred processing WSGI script 'MAILMANROOT/bin/mailman-web20200229.wsgi'.

Running customized version of Mailman 3
by Alan Kelm March 3, 2020

March 3, 2020

Since 2005, our organization has been running a customized version of Mailman 2 with extensions that meet our particular needs. The main novelty is support for /fixed subscription lists/, in which the list members are predetermined (corresponding to a "committee"). Fixed list subscribers are not offered the opportunity to unsubscribe, nor can others add themselves to the list. A further enhancement is /hybrid lists/ which, for example, have both a fixed and opt-in part. (This is implemented as a fixed list residing within an opt-in one in a way which is transparent to users). Our customizations consist of code adjustments (patches) to 23 files. We are considering moving to Mailman 3 and would like to do this in a way which makes it possible to periodically upgrade our installation to the newest Mailman version, without clobbering our customizations. Thus, I do not think that installing via "pip" is the right approach for us. While I'm relatively new to git and GitLab, they seem to be ideally suited to this situation. If I understand the developer documentation correctly, I start out by creating a "fork" and can later "fetch" changes from the master branch and "rebase" to bring them into our branch. I would welcome comments on what we are doing. I also wonder whether others might be interested in support for "fixed lists", if they are done in a way which can be "contributed" back into Mailman. I extend our "thank you" to the developers of Mailman who have provided the robust system which has served us well for 15 years and provides the possibility to extend this into the future. -Alan -- Alan Kelm Manager, Electronic Services Canadian Mathematical Society Tel: +1 (613) 733-2662 ext. 799 Please consider the environment.

ARC issues
by David Krantz March 2, 2020

March 2, 2020

Hi! I have now tested ARC signing of messages a bit more and have found (I think) all settings so that it works in that it generates the signed headers that ARC is. But the signature is not accepted; gmail says "body hash mismatch" and hotmail says "arc=fail (47)". I have set the following settings under the [ARC] section. I have tried both with the sig_headers set as displayed below and with it commented to lean against the defaults. I use the same key and selector as for DKIM-signing with the server's domain. The DKIM-signature is accepted. Is there any known issues with ARC that I should be aware of? I run the latest release of mailman (3.3.0 of core) on Python 3.7.6 and I use postfix as MTA. enabled: yes privkey: <my key path> selector: <my selector> domain: <my server's domain> dmarc: yes dkim: yes authserv_id: <my server's domain> trusted_authserv_ids: <my hosted domains> #sig_headers: From, Sender, Reply-To, Subject, Date, Message-ID, To, Cc, MIME-Version, Content-Type, Content-Transfer-Encoding, Content-ID, Content-Description, Resent-Date, Resent-From, Resent-Sender, Resent-To, Resent-Cc, Resent-Message-ID, In-Reply-To, References, List-Id, List-Help, List-Unsubscribe, List-Subscribe, List-Post, List-Owner, List-Archive I hope that this is something simple that I have forgot. Cheers // David

How to run 'manage.py update_index_one_list' command.
by Frank van den Heuvel Feb. 26, 2020

Feb. 26, 2020

I am importing old archives mbox files from Mailman2. I have fixed the archive mail address to reflect the address of the destination import. These are the steps: 1. sed 's|oldlist@oldexample\.org|testlist@example\.org|g' mbox > mbox.testlist 2. /opt/mailman/mm/bin/django-admin hyperkitty_import --since 01/01/1990 -l testlist(a)example.org mbox.testlist The output of the last command is: Computing thread structure Synchronizing properties with Mailman Warming up cache The full-text search index is not updated for this list. It will not be updated by the 'minutely' incremental update job. \ To update the index for this list, run the 'manage.py update_index_one_list testlist(a)example.org' command. The result is that the e-mail's are imported but not indexed. To finalize this process I am seeking manage.py that will execute the update index command. I am on a Debian 10 with Mailman3 in /opt. locate manage.py returns: /opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/conf/project_template/manage.py-tpl /opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/example_project/manage.py /opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/falcon/bench/dj/manage.py None of these python files can execute the needed command. What can I do to get the newly imported posts indexed? Regards, Frank
