Virtual alias + shell
by alopez＠ac.upc.edu May 26, 2023

May 26, 2023

Hello, I want to have a mailman configured together with virtual alias. To do that I need to use alias_domain. I have tried to do it with mailman shell. The domain seams to be created but when I leave the shell and enter again, the domain is not longer there. On the other hand, If I create a domain in administrator interface, it is not listed in the shell. If I create in the web interface, which field correspond to the alias_domain : Domain Name, Display Name , Mail domain? The code I use in the shell is: mailman shell from mailman.interfaces.domain import IDomainManager from zope.component import getUtility manager = getUtility(IDomainManager) from operator import attrgetter def show_domains(*, with_owners=False): if len(manager) == 0: print('no domains') return for domain in sorted(manager, key=attrgetter('mail_host')): print(domain) owners = sorted(owner.addresses[0].email for owner in domain.owners) for owner in owners: print('- owner:', owner) manager.add('example.edu',alias_domain='x.example.edu') show_domains(with_owners=True) exit() Thanks in advance Albert

Subscribing users stuck in pending hell
by Quanah Gibson-Mount May 25, 2023

May 25, 2023

Hi, We frequently end up with users who never receive their email to confirm their account, leaving them in a netherworld where they cannot become list members. If I try to subscribe them via the mass subscribe option, it says I can't because their subscription is pending. If I go to subscription requests, it says there are 0. If I go to "non-members" in the UI, I can find them, but I don't see an option to convert them to members. So what's the solution to getting these people subscribed and no longer stuck in limbo? Thanks! --Quanah

not correct language in subject(s)
by Jens Günther May 24, 2023

May 24, 2023

When receiving all types of system mails from mailman3 (3.3.8) there are almost all the subjects in English, althought text is in German. Am I missing somehting? The option to have the list in german is toggled and so far all the mails are in german ... also templates on different levels work fine, either en or de, but obviously the subjects are not translated (?) or taken from an English template. Any hint is appreciated, regards, Jens.

Template URI gets written incorrectly
by Mark Dale May 24, 2023

May 24, 2023

Hi, When I create a template, it writes the URI incorrectly into the template table in the mailman3 database and the list stops working. For example, it writes: http://localhost/mailman3/postorius/api/templates/list/markslist.lists.post… When I correct it like so, all is well: https://lists.postmark.io/mailman3/postorius/api/templates/list/markslist.l… Have I missed a config setting somewhere, or is this a bug with the older Debian Mailman 3.3.3 ? /Mark

Multiple server replicas
by Dave Hall May 24, 2023

May 24, 2023

Hello. Our Mailman 2.1 setup included 4 replica servers, all with Mailman, Exim4, Apache, etc. The configuration for the 4 mailman server instances were synchronized by linking most of the directories in /var/lib/mailman to an NFS share that is mounted on all 4 servers. Cron jobs were staggered such that an hourly job would run every 4 hours on each server, yet still get run hourly. With Mailman 3 we would like to keep the same kind of setup. However, things have changed quite a bit. Having both mailman and mailman-web instances all share their respective MySql/MariaDB databases is the easy part. For /var/lib/mailman3 it is a little less clear. So far I have symlinked messages, archives, lists, data, and templates onto the NFS share. I'm wondering about cache, locks, queue, and web/fulltext_index. Is there any standard or documented way of doing this? Thanks. -Dave -- Dave Hall Binghamton University kdhall(a)binghamton.edu

Apache shows No Lists
by ceo＠sartrack.nz May 24, 2023

May 24, 2023

Running Debian 11. I have 6 mailing lists, but Apache2 says there are no lists. I have not been able to set up Postorius because nowhere is any information on *where* the configuration file is supposed to be located. I have found an example in /usr/share/doc/python3-django-hyperkitty/examples/settings.py But I don't know if this example is the right one, and I have no idea where the final file should go...

mass remove pending confirmation
by Jens Günther May 23, 2023

May 23, 2023

Running Mailman 3.3.8 with docker. ----- Since we migrate some lists from mailman2 to 3, there are a lot of new users/subscribers and an admin made the mistake to not checkbox the 3. option that the users don't need to verify their address. Now we have a long list of pending confirmations in different lists. Is there an easy way in the shell to mass remove these pending mailaddresses so that we don't have to do that one by one? That would be awsome. Regards, Jens.

Is there a correct way to remove the "Are you sure you want to logout" screen?
by Mark London May 21, 2023

May 21, 2023

Hi - Is there a correct way to remove the "Are you sure you want to logout" screen, after I select to logout? It seems so impossible to accidentally logout. And even if I did, it's just very easy to log back in. I did hack logout.html, and used jquery to automatically click the button. But that feels like a real hack. Although it does work. :) - Mark
