Please help - Held message is crashing mailman.

Hi, I've used mailman a lot in the past, and decided to install mailman3 in a recent install. I'm unimpressed so far, it seems buggy. Running on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS from packages, mailman3 3.1.1-9, mailman3-web 0+20170523-14, python-django-postorius 1.1.2-3. After a few messages, I now can't go to the "Held Messages" in postorius, I get a 500 error. I tried to interact on the command line, but could not work out how. Reading https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/install.html and https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/commands/docs/shell.ht…, I tried: # mailman shell Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell >>> command = cli('mailman.commands.cli_withlist.shell') Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/code.py", line 91, in runcode exec(code, self.locals) File "<console>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'cli' is not defined I did a lot of reading of the manual and googled, but I have no idea where the cli object is supposed to come from.....? The documentation is confusing. Anyway, after some trial and error, i found: # mailman shell Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell >>> list_manager = getUtility(IListManager) >>> m=list_manager.get("committee(a)[redacted].org") >>> from mailman.interfaces.requests import IListRequests >>> requests = IListRequests(m) >>> [x for x in requests.held_requests][0].id 8 >>> requests.get_request(8) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/code.py", line 91, in runcode exec(code, self.locals) File "<console>", line 1, in <module> 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 138, in confirm value = json.loads(keyvalue.value) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/json/__init__.py", line 354, in loads return _default_decoder.decode(s) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/json/decoder.py", line 339, in decode obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end()) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/json/decoder.py", line 355, in raw_decode obj, end = self.scan_once(s, idx) json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Unterminated string starting at: line 1 column 1 (char 0) It seems something was written out to disk that can't be read in for some reason (assuming a json object on disk?) How do I debug this further? How do I find the json being decoded? Any help would be appreciated. (I found mailman2 just worked, I was happy with that.) (My colleague posted a bug about this I believe but I don't have the link to that.) Thanks, Alex

mass invitation
by mailman3＠malevil.cc June 20, 2019

June 20, 2019

in postorius there is just the option to make a mass subscription, in mailman2 there was also the possibility to just invite users, so they need to click a link when they really want to join the list. Is this also available in mailman3/postorius?

Importing mbox files into hyperkitty since date
by andrew.bernard＠gmail.com June 20, 2019

June 20, 2019

What is the syntax for the data in the --since argument to hyperkitty_import> --since SINCE SINCE is not very informative. :-) Guessing, using '1/1/1970' does not seem to achieve anything, and gives no error.

Hyperkitty Archives - Sidebar years/months
by Enrique Terrazas June 20, 2019

June 20, 2019

Hello, I’m going through importing archives from mm2 to mm3. One of the lists I’ve imported has messages going back to 11/2013. I was able to successfully import the lists settings using: mailman import21 lists(a)domain.com<mailto:lists@domain.com> /path/to/list/config.pck This successfully imported lists owners, moderators, subscribers, & settings. I then imported the messages with the following command: python /path/to/manage.py hyperkitty_import -l list(a)domain.com<mailto:list@domain.com> /path/to/list.mbox —since 10/01/2013 I used that date because it is older than the first message sent to the list: 11/13/2013 And followed that up with the update index command: python /path/to/manage.py update_index_one_list list(a)domain.com<mailto:list@domain.com> This successfully imported all the messages from 11/13/2013 through 09/30/2018. Here is where I’m facing two issues: * Messages from October 2018 were not imported * The sidebar only shows the year 2018. Fdasfds If I modify the URL to go to https://my.domain.org/hyperkitty/list/list@domain.com/2013/11 the archived emails show up fine. October 2018 shows two test messages I’ve sent but not any of the messages from October 2018 that should have been imported. Is there something additional that needs to be done to show the previous years and months in the sidebar? Thanks, Enrique

Flushing/syncing hyperkitty with mailman
by Eric Abrahamsen June 20, 2019

June 20, 2019

I've got mailman running on Ubuntu 14.04, with systemd service files to govern the mailman and hyperkitty qcluster processes. I notice in the systemctl status call for the qcluster command that there are a bunch of errors like: [Q] ERROR Failed [rebuild_thread_cache_votes] - Thread matching query does not exist. [Q] INFO Process-1:1 processing [rebuild_email_cache_votes] [Q] ERROR Failed [rebuild_email_cache_votes] - Email matching query does not exist. [Q] INFO Process-1:2 processing [rebuild_thread_cache_votes] [Q] ERROR Failed [rebuild_thread_cache_votes] - Thread matching query does not exist. [Q] INFO Process-1:3 processing [rebuild_email_cache_votes] [Q] ERROR Failed [rebuild_email_cache_votes] - Email matching query does not exist. [Q] INFO Process-1:4 processing [rebuild_thread_cache_votes] [Q] ERROR Failed [rebuild_thread_cache_votes] - Thread matching query does not exist. Is there something more I should be doing to sync hyperkitty's database with mailman? I've got the crontab file in place, and that appears to be running without error. Anything else? Thanks, Eric

I am seeing this error frequently: Subject: [Django] ERROR (EXTERNAL IP): Internal Server Error: /archives/list/jackrail(a)list.jackrail.org/message/new Internal Server Error: /archives/list/jackrail(a)list.jackrail.org/message/new Error at /archives/list/jackrail(a)list.jackrail.org/message/new error 14 from memcached_get(:2:User:11:subscriptions) Request Method: GET Request URL: https://list.jackrail.org/archives/list/jackrail@list.jackrail.org/message/… ... followed by many many pages of settings information, none of which is informative to me. What does this signify? I am trying to bring my list to a go live state, but this does not bode well. I can send the full diagnostic (long) if need be. Andrew

June 19, 2019

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

Do not show archives to public

June 19, 2019

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.
