Templates do not work
by Eggert Ehmke 03 May '22

03 May '22

I created some templates in Postorius to get personalized notifications when there are moderator requests. The notifications I get seem to be the standard texts. When I look into mailman/ mm/var/templates the directory is empty. Nevertheless, the templates I create in Postorius seem to be stored (where?), they just do not work.

Question to add "alias" address in list by group
by Pierre Malard 28 Apr '22

Everithing is in the subject. We must add some (a lot) alias address for members and I don’t find any indications on doc to do that with « mailman » command.

Localization of auto-responses, question marks in welcome message
by Claus-Justus Heine 25 Apr '22

25 Apr '22

Hi, I know there are already some posts on this subject. From reading the following seems to be the state of the affair: * the list's language settings determines which localized template to use * the list-_servers_ default setting determines which language to use for the subject (so the subject's language is a "global" server configuration setting). Still, in my Ubuntu Impish Mailman 3.3.3 installation the welcome message is sent with charset us-ascii and contains question marks for any "special" -- i.e. non-ascii -- character. Can this be changed s.t. the welcome message is correctly displayed? Kind thanks Claus -- Claus-Justus Heine himself(a)claus-justus-heine.de http://www.claus-justus-heine.de/ Schatzmeister der Camerata Academica Freiburg e.V. --- www.cafev.de

Problems with shunted Mails
by Stephan Krinetzki 25 Apr '22

25 Apr '22

Hi all, we currently have a problem sending to an email list. The mailing list is an announcement list and is therefore moderated. The mail also arrives for moderation. However, when the mail is released, it is not delivered, but moved to the shunt queue. The error after an unshunt attempt in the log: Apr 19 12:31:43 2022 (17967) Uncaught runner exception: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'email' Apr 19 12:31:43 2022 (17967) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman/mailman-venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 176, in _one_iteration self._process_one_file(msg, msgdata) File "/opt/mailman/mailman-venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 269, in _process_one_file keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/opt/mailman/mailman-venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/runners/pipeline.py", line 37, in _dispose process(mlist, msg, msgdata, pipeline) File "/opt/mailman/mailman-venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/core/pipelines.py", line 50, in process handler.process(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/opt/mailman/mailman-venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/handlers/member_recipients.py", line 84, in process for member in mlist.regular_members.members File "/opt/mailman/mailman-venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/mailman/handlers/member_recipients.py", line 85, in <genexpr> if member.delivery_status == DeliveryStatus.enabled) AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'email' Apr 19 12:31:43 2022 (17967) SHUNTING: 1650364303.8361175+08bb48ae877019e8a4c9dff8024c1270782fceb3 Any hints how we can solve the problem here?

set a new default for max_message_size
by Paul Paulchen 24 Apr '22

24 Apr '22

Hi MM Community, I guess Mark can answer this question in a split second. We want another default than 40kb for the max_message_size. I know you can change it with the mailman shell or with postorius. But we want to skip this part an set the default to 4000kb for instance. I read about the max_message_size in this thread from 2020 https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message… According to the answer of Mark you can change the "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/styles/base.py" - mlist.max_message_size. Now time went by, is there a possibility to use the mailman.cfg to set a new default? Cheers and thanks in advance!

How to delete large numbers of held messages
by lists＠g1fef.co.uk 22 Apr '22

22 Apr '22

We had a mail loop on one of our lists and ended up with over 51k messages in pending (held due to post not form a list member) Trying to delete them from the web UI will take forever, as the largest pagination you can view is 200 at a time. Tried to delete them from the Python interactive shell, but it looks like the API times out after a while. Is there another way to delete all these unwanted held posts? The problem comes after executing: <block> reqs = list(adminlist.held) </block> After a couple of minutes it comes back with: <block> Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 699, in urlopen httplib_response = self._make_request( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 445, in _make_request six.raise_from(e, None) File "<string>", line 3, in raise_from File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 440, in _make_request httplib_response = conn.getresponse() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/http/client.py", line 1347, in getresponse response.begin() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/http/client.py", line 307, in begin version, status, reason = self._read_status() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/http/client.py", line 276, in _read_status raise RemoteDisconnected("Remote end closed connection without" http.client.RemoteDisconnected: Remote end closed connection without response During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/adapters.py", line 439, in send resp = conn.urlopen( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 755, in urlopen retries = retries.increment( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/util/retry.py", line 532, in increment raise six.reraise(type(error), error, _stacktrace) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/six.py", line 718, in reraise raise value.with_traceback(tb) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 699, in urlopen httplib_response = self._make_request( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 445, in _make_request six.raise_from(e, None) File "<string>", line 3, in raise_from File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 440, in _make_request httplib_response = conn.getresponse() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/http/client.py", line 1347, in getresponse response.begin() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/http/client.py", line 307, in begin version, status, reason = self._read_status() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/http/client.py", line 276, in _read_status raise RemoteDisconnected("Remote end closed connection without" urllib3.exceptions.ProtocolError: ('Connection aborted.', RemoteDisconnected('Remote end closed connection without response')) During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/connection.py", line 107, in call response = request( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/api.py", line 61, in request return session.request(method=method, url=url, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 542, in request resp = self.send(prep, **send_kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 655, in send r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/adapters.py", line 498, in send raise ConnectionError(err, request=request) requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', RemoteDisconnected('Remote end closed connection without response')) During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailmanclient/restobjects/mailinglist.py", line 123, in held response, content = self._connection.call( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/connection.py", line 135, in call raise MailmanConnectionError( mailmanclient.restbase.connection.MailmanConnectionError: ('Could not connect to Mailman API: ', "ConnectionError(ProtocolError('Connection aborted.', RemoteDisconnected('Remote end closed connection without response')))") </block>

Apple Mail encoding again
by David Newman 22 Apr '22

22 Apr '22

Starting a new thread because I don't know how to reply to this one from November 2021: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message… A subscriber's post to a list bounced with a 501 bad encoding error. The subscriber uses Apple Mail on MacOS and PGP-signed his message. The earlier post above suggests the problem could be a bug in either Apple Mail encoding or python's smtp module. To rule out the smtp module, I sent a PGP-signed message using a different MUA (Thunderbird, in my case). Mailman3 accepted this post without complaint, and I reported back to list users that this appears to be an Apple Mail encoding issue. Normally, that'd be the end of it. But this is a list for a bunch of Internet graybeards, including one of the authors of the SMTP protocols and the subscriber is a former IETF chair. He's grumbling that if this really were an Apple Mail issue, wouldn't it be far more widespread? I don't think it would be, because (a) Mailman2 is still far more pervasive than Mailman3 and (b) the combination of PGP signing and Apple Mail on MacOS and Mailman3 is still pretty unusual. Has anyone else hit this encoding issue, other than the post above? And did Mailman2 silently accept this because it was less strict about checking for bad encoding? Thanks. dn

About mailing list configuration problem
by liutianhua68＠163.com 20 Apr '22

20 Apr '22

Hello: I installed mailman3 through docker, and I created a mailing list for testing, which can subscribe, unsubscribe, receive emails, and send emails normally. Now there are two problems that have not been resolved. I would like to ask: 1. When a user subscribes, how to configure it like "lists.mailman3.org" to send a link to confirm the subscription instead of just replying to the confirmation email. 2. I used the mailling list I created to test the sending and receiving of emails, but I didn't see any historical messages in "Archives",Where is the configuration incorrect? And the url of my mailing list is "https://list.example.org/hyperkitty/list/" instead of "https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/", is this a problem? Also ask about the configuration, where to find the relevant documentation. thank you very much. liutianhua68(a)163.com

Prometheus mailman_exporter
by Ruth Ivimey-Cook 19 Apr '22

19 Apr '22

Folks, I have recently been playing with Prometheus metrics, and having now coded a mailman3 Prometheus exporter in python I thought I'd mention here that it exists. It's not fancy and there is more to do. It works using the rest api. Source available at https://github.com/rivimey/mailman3_exporter Metrics exposed: 'mailman_up' (does the API /system/versions return http 200) and 'mailman_queues' (queue lengths for each queue, plus 'status' for the http status code of that query) Suggestions for other metrics would be interesting if accompanied with info on how to extract it. I'm currently contemplating including the number of 'to be moderated' messages. It would be possible to include the number of lists or domains but not sure it's useful enough to be worth the cost of fetching it. It is passed the api auth data separately. It would be better to read it from mm config: is there existing code I can call?
