Changing posting address
by Johannes Winter 09 Nov '18

09 Nov '18

Dear list, I'd like to change the sending address of a mailinglist, but when I try to set it via mmclient with ./manage.py mmclient lists=client.lists l=lists[listnumber] l.settings['posting_address']='new name' I get `ValueError: value is read-only`. Is it possible to change this value, or should I use another setting for this objective? Best regards, Johannes Winter

Setup Mailman3 on shared webhost
by Keyra 08 Nov '18

08 Nov '18

Iam trying to setup mailman3 on a shared webhost (with ssh access). I could use pip3.6 install mailman --user and also mailman info But when I try to start mailman using mailman start I will first get the error message TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType and when I try it a second (and third etc.) time, it throws Starting Mailman's master runner /usr/bin/python3.6: can't open file '/usr/bin/master': [Errno 2] No such file or directory I didn't get any error messages during installation, so I guess whatever mailman is looking for in /user/bin/master is available in my /home/user/ folder, but I have no idea where and how to tell mailman to look there. For more infos, this is the output of `mailman info` GNU Mailman 3.2.0 (La Villa Strangiato) Python 3.6.5 (default, Apr 10 2018, 17:08:37) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-16)] config file: /var/www/virtual/user/html/var/etc/mailman.cfg db url: sqlite:////var/www/virtual/user/html/var/data/mailman.db devmode: DISABLED REST root url: http://localhost:8001/3.1/ REST credentials: restadmin:XXXX

Mailman 3 on RHEL 7 help
by A Almeda 03 Nov '18

03 Nov '18

Hi. I am trying to install mailman 3 on RHEL7. Docker install is not a possibility. I am trying to install it using a bundler by following https://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/mailman-bundler/stable/mailman-bundler.pdf, but after logging in as mailman, I can't do virtualenv venv. It works if I login as root, but still fails during buildout. In short, I need help. Has anyone of you guys installed mailman 3 on RHEL 7 or CEntOS 7? If so would you share me detailed instructions? Thank you in advance.

how to integrate subscription into static jekyll website
by Hagen Bauer 23 Oct '18

23 Oct '18

Hi, I am running a static website with jekyll and I want to integrate a form that executes a subription rest api call to mailman. From my first investigation this seems to be a bad idea from a security perspective (rest api needs managaer access). Is there a secure way to do this? Any other ideas? Regards Hagen

autoresponse not sent
by shadiakiki1986＠gmail.com 22 Oct '18

22 Oct '18

Hello. Newbie to mailman here. I tried out mailman3 today. My setup is - mailman3 suite using the docker-compose file from asynchronous.io - exim4 on the local machine and configuring it as smarthost using mailgun smtp server The emails to the mailing list are received by the subscribers, but the autoresponse is not being received by the sender (who is not from the subscribers list). I'm not sure if the problem is from mailman-core, settings from mailman-web, or from exim. The setting for autoresponse to posters is set to yes, with some text to be sent in the autoresponse message. The autoresponse grace period is set to "0d60.0s" (I was unable to set to "0" or "negative" due to error saying something like "could not update parameter") The "Acknowledge posts" in the "global mailman settings" is set to "yes". The "Acknowledge posts" in the list-based preferences is also "yes". Here are the exim logs after I send the email from the non-subscriber to the mailing list ``` 2018-10-19 15:13:32 1gDWSy-0004n7-VR DKIM: d=gmail.com s=20161025 c=relaxed/relaxed a=rsa-sha256 b=2048 [verification succeeded] 2018-10-19 15:13:32 1gDWSy-0004n7-VR <= shadiakiki1986(a)gmail.com H=mail-vk1-f171.google.com [209.85.221.171] P=esmtp K S=2416 id=CACk+RNtq_hu+M_ufoCJQFCtOWOD_DX0omdVJbKfva0w=n4Qhuw(a)mail.gmail.com 2018-10-19 15:13:33 1gDWSy-0004n7-VR => quotations(a)mailman3.akikieng.com R=mailman3_router T=mailman3_transport H=172.19.199.2 [172.19.199.2] C="250 Ok" 2018-10-19 15:13:33 1gDWSy-0004n7-VR Completed 2018-10-19 15:13:35 1gDWT1-0004nC-1I DKIM: d=gmail.com s=20161025 c=relaxed/relaxed a=rsa-sha256 b=2048 [verification failed - signature did not verify (headers probably modified in transit)] 2018-10-19 15:13:35 1gDWT1-0004nC-1I <= quotations-bounces(a)mailman3.akikieng.com H=ip-172-19-199-2.us-west-2.compute.internal [172.19.199.2] P=esmtp S=3847 id=CACk+RNtq_hu+M_ufoCJQFCtOWOD_DX0omdVJbKfva0w=n4Qhuw(a)mail.gmail.com 2018-10-19 15:13:35 1gDWT1-0004nC-1I => shadi(a)akikieng.com R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost H=smtp.mailgun.org [35.161.201.187] X=TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256 CV=yes DN="C=US,ST=California,L=San Francisco,O=MAILGUN TECHNOLOGIES\, INC,OU=MAILGUN TECHNOLOGIES\, INC,CN=*.mailgun.org" A=plain C="250 Great success" 2018-10-19 15:13:35 1gDWT1-0004nC-1I Completed ``` 1. Is the signature verification failure due to mailman-core trying to send the autoresponse outgoing message? At first, I thought that the DKIM signature verification caused Exim to be dropping the autoresponse. So I set `DISABLE_DKIM_VERIFY=true` in exim, but still no autoresponse. Here are the exim logs after the sender sends the email ``` ^[[A2018-10-19 14:58:40 1gDWEa-0004Ww-QF <= shadiakiki1986(a)gmail.com H=mail-vs1-f53.google.com [209.85.217.53] P=esmtp K S=2410 id=CACk+RNvnfS+e+Uh-OSKjPB8oe+b1=efAJ6BSrc51jz_h9sVoFQ(a)mail.gmail.com 2018-10-19 14:58:40 1gDWEa-0004Ww-QF => quotations(a)mailman3.akikieng.com R=mailman3_router T=mailman3_transport H=172.19.199.2 [172.19.199.2] C="250 Ok" 2018-10-19 14:58:40 1gDWEa-0004Ww-QF Completed 2018-10-19 14:58:42 1gDWEc-0004Wz-R1 <= quotations-bounces(a)mailman3.akikieng.com H=ip-172-19-199-2.us-west-2.compute.internal [172.19.199.2] P=esmtp S=3841 id=CACk+RNvnfS+e+Uh-OSKjPB8oe+b1=efAJ6BSrc51jz_h9sVoFQ(a)mail.gmail.com 2018-10-19 14:58:42 1gDWEc-0004Wz-R1 => shadi(a)akikieng.com R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost H=smtp.mailgun.org [54.69.10.167] X=TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256 CV=yes DN="C=US,ST=California,L=San Francisco,O=MAILGUN TECHNOLOGIES\, INC,OU=MAILGUN TECHNOLOGIES\, INC,CN=*.mailgun.org" A=plain C="250 Great success" 2018-10-19 14:58:42 1gDWEc-0004Wz-R1 Completed ``` 2. is my understanding correct in reading these logs that there is nothing here about an autoresponse?

MM3 vs. Sympa
by Tom Browder 21 Oct '18

21 Oct '18

I still haven’t gotten around to getting a new MM3 service up and running, and now I’m looking at Sympa. I’ve seen a few comparisons of the two systems on the net, but the ones I’ve seen are for announcement lists only. I did see one university that did a study of list managers to replace Listproc and chose Sympa. I must admit my short-lived MM2 experience (used for my social sites for my high school and college classmates) seven years ago wasn’t the best was for two reasons: (1) no duplication of list names even for different domains and (2) it’s written in Python (instead of Perl). But, thanks to much help from Mark, I did get it runnng. I think it would be running today but it failed after about a year when Gmail (whose sntp server I was using) stopped allowing that, and I just didn’t know enough to get around the situation and had too much else to do. I waited expectantly for MM3 to come out and was ready to try again, but the separation of a formerly-integrated system into several systems was a bit daunting. Now I’m considering using Sympa: it’s coded in Perl, it’s monolithic, and it can support identical list names for different domains, so I am leaning in that direction. Before I go, I would appreciate anyone giving me a good reason to stay with MM (besides excellent support and a welcoming community—one which is a member of an unfortunately small group of such communities). Thanks so much. Best regards, -Tom

Difficulties setting up MM3 with Postfix MTA in Docker Environment: Invalid EHLO domain name & Authentification as lists.local
by Niklas Frühauf 21 Oct '18

21 Oct '18

Hi everyone, I managed to setup mailman using the maxking/mailman-* docker containers, connected to a postfix/dovecot mailserver and a mysql database. The mail domain is @mail.local, mailman is reachable at lists.local. I can see the mailman UI fine, its connection to the database is working as well, the only things that’s not working is the initial login: When I try to login with the correct credentials of the superuser I added, I get An error occurred while processing your request. To me it seems like mailman is trying to authenticate as “lists.local” or “mail.local” or “localhost” to postfix (which of course isn’t working), then issues a EHLO/HELO to postfix which is not a FQDN. So I guess the latter issue could be resolved by providing a FQDN by mailman. These are the logfiles from the period: mail | Oct 21 11:15:07 mail postfix/postscreen[1862]: CONNECT from [172.18.18.8]:49288 to [172.18.18.254]:25 ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 fd=12 ACCEPT from IP=172.18.19.8:49252 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=0 BIND dn="cn=admin,dc=..." method=128 ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=0 BIND dn="cn=admin,dc=..." mech=SIMPLE ssf=0 ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=1 SRCH base="ou=users,dc=..." scope=2 deref=0 filter="(mail=lists.local)" ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=1 SRCH attr=mail ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=1 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=2 SRCH base="ou=users,dc=..." scope=2 deref=0 filter="(?mailGroupMember=lists.local)" ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=2 SRCH attr=mail ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=2 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=3 SRCH base="ou=users,dc=..." scope=2 deref=0 filter="(|(mail=*@lists.local)(mailalias=*@lists.local))" ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=3 SRCH attr=mail ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 <= mdb_substring_candidates: (mail) not indexed ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 <= mdb_substring_candidates: (mailalias) not indexed ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=3 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=4 SRCH base="ou=users,dc=..." scope=2 deref=0 filter="(mail=mail.local)" ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=4 SRCH attr=mail ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=4 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=5 SRCH base="ou=users,dc=..." scope=2 deref=0 filter="(?mailGroupMember=mail.local)" ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=5 SRCH attr=mail ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=5 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=6 SRCH base="ou=users,dc=..." scope=2 deref=0 filter="(|(mail=*@mail.local)(mailalias=*@mail.local))" ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=6 SRCH attr=mail ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 <= mdb_substring_candidates: (mail) not indexed ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 <= mdb_substring_candidates: (mailalias) not indexed ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=6 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=7 SRCH base="ou=users,dc=..." scope=2 deref=0 filter="(mail=lists.local)" ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=7 SRCH attr=mail ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=7 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=8 SRCH base="ou=users,dc=..." scope=2 deref=0 filter="(?mailGroupMember=lists.local)" ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=8 SRCH attr=mail ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=8 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=9 SRCH base="ou=users,dc=..." scope=2 deref=0 filter="(|(mail=*@lists.local)(mailalias=*@lists.local))" ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=9 SRCH attr=mail ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 <= mdb_substring_candidates: (mail) not indexed ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 <= mdb_substring_candidates: (mailalias) not indexed ldap_1 | 5bcc5fc1 conn=1000 op=9 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= mail | Oct 21 11:15:13 mail postfix/postscreen[1862]: PASS OLD [172.18.18.8]:49288 mail | Oct 21 11:15:13 mail postfix/smtpd[1873]: connect from srv-docker_mailman-web_1.srv-docker_frontend[172.18.18.8] mail | Oct 21 11:15:17 mail postfix/postscreen[1862]: warning: dnsblog reply timeout 10s for list.dnswl.org mail | Oct 21 11:15:27 mail postfix/dnsblog[1866]: warning: dnsblog_query: lookup error for DNS query 8.18.18.172.list.dnswl.org: Host or domain name not found.
