Is there a simple possibility to join a mailinglist besider writing a mail to list-join(a)example.com? I know you can register and then join a list, but thats only possible for public lists and I would like to have such a very simple webform for a specific list where you just enter your email address and then get the confirmation mail. I guess there was something like this with mailman2

Hello, By mistake a user has been banned to post to mailman list. How can I allow him not only to post but also to become a member of a list ? I have not found any info on the web, or I have been unable to search correctly.

Do not show archives to public

Is there a way to have list archives only visible to list subscribers? Presently, they are world visible - unless I have configured my site incorrectly.

Domain owner functionality?
by Derek Lambert 14 Jun '19

14 Jun '19

I noticed there's a "domain_owners" table in the mailman core database. If I add a user and domain id to this table will it grant the user owner permissions for all lists in a domain? Will they be able to create lists? Thanks! Derek

Invalid FilterAction: discard. Treating as discard
by Henrik Rasmussen 12 Jun '19

12 Jun '19

Having set the Filter content to Yes - regardless of other setting in the "Alter Messages" tab, make a HTML message come out empty. I can replicate this on my test list. I have tried debugging by changing each setting one-by-one and sending the user's mail, but no change makes the mail come out with a content. However setting "Filter content" to "no" makes the mail come out okay. With "Filter content" set to "Yes", sending another HTML mail is okay, so something in the user's mail may not be right, but I wonder why setting "Filter content" to no "solves" the problem. Afte all this setting is switching all other settings on and off, so I can't just ask the user to turn it off.

Postorius performance with over 1000 pending users
by Nick W 11 Jun '19

11 Jun '19

I've got a couple things I need help with: The Symptom and The Problem. The Symptom: Postorius has gotten quite slow to load, taking more than 30s to load the Subscription Requests tab. Having zero pending subscription requests (I'm on v1.2.5), I started investigating unconfirmed subscriptions. I followed the commands from here[1] and got this: mailman shell -l your.list.id util = getUtility(IPendings) print(len(list(util.find(mlist=m,pend_type='subscription')))) 1816 Wow, 1816 pending subscription requests. I can say for certain that my list is not popular so these requests must have been submitted by bots. Let's get there in The Problem. How can I "purge" this list? I'm willing to assume that none of these requests are valid and would reject all unconfirmed user requests. The Problem: How might this activity be happening? Running cat /opt/mailman/core/var/logs/mailman.log | grep POST returns a lot of 202 and 409 responses for `POST /3.1/members`. Could it be that these requests are being submitted through Postorius? I'd assume there would be some sort of honeypot input to prevent abuse. I'll continue investigating and follow up with any insight I can on the cause of The Problem. Thanks, Nick [1]: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message…>

WSGI: gunicorn and uwsgi
by andrew.bernard＠gmail.com 09 Jun '19

09 Jun '19

Using the Ubuntu 19 packages for all the mailman suite, uwsgi is the Python WSGI server included. I have now switched over to a full build from current source from gitlab, following Mark Sapiro's excellent instructions. It would appear that the current code has the use of gunicorn built in. Is gunicorn the preferred way now to run the mailman Django apps? Is it worth spending time converting everything to use uwsgi, or should I go with the flow and use gunicorn? What are the advantages of gunicorn over uwsgi?

Help with installing Postorius and Hyperkitty on Ubuntu 19
by andrew.bernard＠gmail.com 09 Jun '19

09 Jun '19

I'm new to Mailman. I have a Ubuntu 19 production server. I attempted to get Mailman 3 and the web components going with the system packages, but I encountered a few showstopper errors (such as indexing not working at all) which I know have been fixed in the codebase. To that end I erased my installation, and installed mailman from the gitlab source. That all works much more nicely now and I feel I have a lot more control of the layout of all the files (the various Ubuntu packages smear the parts all over the place, confusingly). Now I want to get Postorius and Hyperkitty going again, independently of Ubuntu packages. I would like to run Postorius and Hyperkitty under one Django project. So I downloaded the git source for mailman_web. I do not know if this is the right way to install. I am partially familiar with Django, but to come to the point, I have no idea once having obtained the source from git how to setup and install the project, where it lives in the filesystem, and so on. Are there any pointers to help in this area? The very nice readthedocs format files for Postorius and Hyperkitty are very silent on basic matters like this, which is not of much help! The git README files also define a new level of brevity. I need some initial hand holding here. If any help is forthcoming, such as links to more full documentation for newbies to Mailman, I would be most grateful.

Hey hey, I applied a recent Update from Debian Buster, und this night a received an email about a failing cronjob. The traceback can be reproduced using: # sudo -u www-data flock -n /var/run/mailman3-web/cron.daily /usr/share/mailman3-web/manage.py runjobs daily ERROR OCCURED IN DAILY JOB: sync_mailman (APP: hyperkitty) START TRACEBACK: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/db/backends/utils.py", line 64, in execute return self.cursor.execute(sql, params) psycopg2.IntegrityError: null value in column "description" violates not-null constraint DETAIL: Failing row contains (2, hb-events(a)hackbrettl.de, hb-events, null, [hb-events] , 1, 2015-10-22 09:54:53.684306+00, hb-events.hackbrettl.de).
