Hyperkitty performance problem
by Tobias Diekershoff 28 Dec '24

28 Dec '24

Hey all, last week we caught some AI bots causing high LOAD on our mailman3 servers archive, that we blocked with nginx rules. I'm not sure if it is related to this incident, but we noticed this when analyzing the log files at the time. In the mailman.log hyperkitty is listed 10k times and more to archive a single mail over the time of 2h, seemingly all with the same process ID > (1186) HyperKitty archived message [...] The mailman3-web.log has matching log entries that the mail was archived > hyperkitty.views.mailman Archived message every 0.5 seconds. In the web interface to the archive, the mail is only listed once though. My suspicion is, that these archiving processes are now overloading the system, preventing a timely catching up work of the queued messages. I could not find anything in the Mailman3 nor Hyperkitty documentation to better distribute the system resources to the Mailman runner or prevent Hyperkitty to restart archiving a mail over and over again. Any hint about where to look for the reason of this is highly appreciated.

mailman transfer from 2to3
by Daniel Germer 28 Dec '24

28 Dec '24

Hello all, I am new to mailman3, once upon a time I had mailman installed on my server, but had trouble with many things, especially virtual hosts not possible in mailman2... However on https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/pre-installation-guide.html#what-do-i-n… are no system requirements for the installation. I assume, that I cannot just install mailman3 on a regular webhoster, but there is no section: You need to have root access to a Linux system with at least 8/16/31/64GB RAM and at least 1/2/5/7 GB of free diskspace (ssl or hard-disk?) You need so and so much for 100/1000 Lists with 10/100/1000 Users each and 5/50/500 Mailings per day... where do I find that information? what is the smallest possible machine to run mailman3 on? Can I run it on a raspberry pi? regards, Daniel

Clean-up of non-members
by Torge Riedel 26 Dec '24

26 Dec '24

Dears, I am currently cleaning up a huge list of non-members. In contrast to the members list where I can select multiple entries and delete them at once, this is not possible in the list of non-members? Can this be enabled in a future release? Thank you and kind regards Torge

MTA setup
by Arte Chambers 24 Dec '24

24 Dec '24

I've got a new installation of Mailman 3 setup, however I am having some issues I'm not sure how to troubleshoot. Mailman is successfully sending invite emails however user messages sent to the list are not being sent to subscribers. Also in Hyperkitty none of my test messages to the list are showing up in the archive. I am using Postfix with an SMTP relay hosted at Brevo.com (formally sendinblue). Brevo's logs show the message getting rejected Log from brevo.com (SMPT Relay) Sent on 17-11-2024 21:49:16 From listmember(a)gmail.com To listmember(a)gmail.com Message ID<CAPesOD1y0fEaG=GFodz=Lgs1m_hqRErPnQcpXCNtKsBbJ= BJ7Q(a)mail.gmail.com> 17-11-2024 21:49:16 Sending has been rejected because the sender you used listmember(a)gmail.com is not valid.

Suggestion on Mailing Lists page
by Alain D D Williams 24 Dec '24

24 Dec '24

This is the page that lists the mailing lists that I have. It would be really useful if there was an indication next to each list if that list required attention, eg an email awaiting moderation. Have a good Xmas everyone. -- Alain Williams Linux/GNU Consultant - Mail systems, Web sites, Networking, Programmer, IT Lecturer. +44 (0) 787 668 0256 https://www.phcomp.co.uk/ Parliament Hill Computers.

MM2 to MM3 Archives Loading
by Joshua Bushe 22 Dec '24

22 Dec '24

Hi everyone, I’ve successfully converted a list from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3, and most things are working smoothly. However, I’m encountering an issue with the archives in the GUI: Problem: The archives don’t load on the overview page. Odd Behavior: If I use the search function, the archives appear as expected, but they remain invisible on the main overview. Has anyone encountered this issue or have suggestions for troubleshooting? Thanks in advance for your help!

Flooded non-members with "prvs=<number>=<mail>"
by Torge Riedel 22 Dec '24

22 Dec '24

Dears, I checked the non-members list of all my mailman3 lists and found a lot entries like "prvs=<number>=<mail>", the <mail> is always an address from @freenet.de A quick research mentions something related to bouncing and that such mails should be blocked/filtered. But no further details. Can you give a hint where I need to change what to block such mails and avoid that such entries floods the non-members list? Thank you and kind regards Torge

Poor rendering of disabled registration page
by Torge Riedel 22 Dec '24

22 Dec '24

Dears, I have set ACCOUNT_ADAPTER = 'django_mailman3.views.user_adapter.DisableSignupAdapter' in my settings.py, so clicking on the "Registration+" button shows a page that registration is disabled: 1. The page has a poor rendering, as far as I can see not css is referenced 2. A would prefer that I am able to hide the registration button Is either of this possible to be fixed in the future? Thank you and kind regards Torge
