Problems with mailman core translation and other details
by celi＠dieese.org.br Feb. 9, 2024

Feb. 9, 2024

Hi. We did a fresh install of the Debian Mailman 3 full package. I'd like all components to be translated into pt_BR. I downloaded the latest updated translations from weblate, which says that 100% of the project (all components) are translated. I checked and recompiled mailman.po with msgfmt without errors. I followed all instructions I saw, included the ones from the topic How to change the language in mailman3 in this list. Everything almost OK, except from the fact that none of mailman's core email messages are being translated, even though mailman.po shows the right messages. Also, strange things happen to these .po files. The web interface is almost perfect, but some messages (just some) are not correct - although the corresponding django.po appears to be OK. It´s the case below: the pair msgid/msgstr seems to be OK, but this particular sentence is not being translated. #: templates/postorius/lists/summary.html:88 #, python-format msgid "" "\n" " To subscribe you can send an email with 'subscribe' in the " "subject to\n" " <a href=\"mailto:%(address)s?subject=Subscribe\">" "%(address)s</a>\n" " or use the form below:\n" " " msgstr "" "\n" " Para se inscrever você pode enviar um e-mail com o assunto " "'subscribe' para\n" " <a href=\"mailto:%(address)s?subject=Subscribe\">" "%(address)s</a>\n" " ou use o formulário abaixo:\n" What am I doing wrong? Or what can I do to make things suitable?

Hiding an ML from a site
by Odhiambo Washington Feb. 8, 2024

Feb. 8, 2024

I host two MLs on the same server/same MM3 instance. Under the Django Admin interface, I created two sites. I expected that each ML will belong to its own site and should not be visible on another site. On https://mm3-lists.kictanet.or.ke/mm/lists/, you can see the two lists. How do I stop the "Users" list from showing up on this site ( https://mm3-lists.kictanet.or.ke/mm/lists/) since it belongs to its own site - https://exim4u.org/mm/lists/ ? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 In an Internet failure case, the #1 suspect is a constant: DNS.

search this list searches more then just this list
by Marco van Tol Feb. 6, 2024

Feb. 6, 2024

Hi there, We run the following versions: mailman-core: 3.3.9 mailman-core-api: 3.1 mailman-core-python: 3.11.6 hyperkitty: 1.3.8 We have several lists on our server, I will write down a list of example list names that are good enough for the purpose of my question. xx(a)domain.tld <mailto:xx@domain.tld> yy-xx(a)domain.tld <mailto:yy-xx@domain.tld> zz-xx(a)domain.tld <mailto:zz-xx@domain.tld> When I now visit the archives for xx(a)domain.tld <mailto:xx@domain.tld> and enter a search phrase in “search this list”, the results include the other 2 lists. It looks like “search this list” searches for keyword in any listname that matches the one from "this list". Is there a way to really only search “this list” when I go to the archives for xx(a)domain.tld <mailto:xx@domain.tld>? I have tried to change the url for the results to have a ‘^’ in front of the listname, but that gives an error :-) Thanks in advance! Marco van Tol

Disable all mail capabilities
by Hope Less Feb. 2, 2024

Feb. 2, 2024

I have a decades old list that was abandoned on my server. I upgraded it to mailman3 but it never came back to life. It is causing me some grief. I want to keep the archives up but totally disable any mail capabilities. I have turned off mail for the domain but I still get 'crap' that tries to relay. I've manually tried to remove stuff from the transport tables in Postfix but I still get mail. I'm not sure where the problem lies. If I can't stop this I'll have to remove the list entirely which includes the archives. I really wish to leave the archives up. Any idea on how I can remove the mail capabilities and leave the rest? Thank You.

after upgrade: OperationalError: no such column: hyperkitty_mailinglist.archive_rendering_mode
by Hans Mayer Jan. 31, 2024

Jan. 31, 2024

Dear All, recently I did a system os upgrade debian 11.8 -> 12.4 / bullseye -> bookworm This did also upgrade Mailman3 version 3.3.3 -> 3.3.8 as a used the packages which came with Debian OS. Initially after the upgrade I had some troubles with the MM3 services to start, but I fixed this. Now almost everything is running. Only the Archives are not working. The browser shows a server error, when I look at the mailman-web.log I see ERROR 2024-01-31 15:14:14,403 2699563 django.request Internal Server Error: /mailman3/hyperkitty/ Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/db/backends/utils.py", line 84, in _execute return self.cursor.execute(sql, params) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/db/backends/sqlite3/base.py", line 423, in execute return Database.Cursor.execute(self, query, params) sqlite3.OperationalError: no such column: hyperkitty_mailinglist.archive_rendering_mode When I check the schema I find such a column in table "mailinglist" I assume there is only one solution, to uninstall and delete everything and start from scratch. Or is there a way the check all tables with a script and do an table update for missing columns ? Or a partial installation of hyperkitty, as I don't care about the archives. I am using sqlite3 as DB backend. Kind regards Hans --

transport map (postfix_lmtp) does not update - new lists not working
by Nils Jan. 29, 2024

Jan. 29, 2024

End of last year, I've re-installed mailman3 using the virtualenv installation method on ubuntu 20.04. Since then, the transport map (/opt/mailman/mm/var/data/postfix_lmtp) has not been updated even though, new mailing lists were created. The old mailing lists, that existed before the re-installation work perfectly fine but those created after are not accessible. Because the entries for those new lists are missing in the transport map, postfix replies with a "mail for ... loops back to myself" error. I'm quite sure, that I did all the steps in the documentation (except that I use a slightly different apache2 vhost configuration). I double checked on the cronjobs. crontab -u mailman -e @daily /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman digests --periodic @daily /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman notify * * * * * /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web runjobs minutely 0,15,30,45 * * * * /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web runjobs quarter_hourly @hourly /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web runjobs hourly @daily /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web runjobs daily @weekly /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web runjobs weekly @monthly /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web runjobs monthly @yearly /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web runjobs yearly Any idea, what I could have missed??? Kind regards, Nils

Fresh installation mailman3-suite via "pipx" - any experiences yet?
by Wikinaut Jan. 27, 2024

Jan. 27, 2024

I recently found the "pipx" wrapper very useful and wanted to ask you if this could be facilitate the fresh installation of the mailman3-suite. Has anyone in the list already experiences installing mailman and mailmanweg through "pipx"? Here are my general tipps for using pipx # https://pipx.pypa.io/stable/installation/#on-linux sudo apt install pipx python3-venv To install a package systemwide for all users, I recommend the tip from https://github.com/pypa/pipx/issues/754#issuecomment-951162846 . sudo PIPX_HOME=/opt/pipx PIPX_BIN_DIR=/usr/local/bin pipx install <package>

share directories between postfix and mailman 3
by Thomas Schachtner Jan. 24, 2024

Jan. 24, 2024

Hi there, I think I have (finally) set up a working instance of mailman 3 on a host separate from the companion postfix mail server actually sending out the mails. One server (postfix) is directly in the internet and the other one is in an internal network not directly reachable from the internet (but connected using a reverse proxy). The services on the hosts are available to one another (i. e. the postfix server is reachable using 127.0.0.1:25 from mailman and mailman is reachable using 127.0.0.1:8024 from postfix using a permanent ssh tunnel betwenn the two hosts). I think that this solution could work quite reliably... (at least I hope so.) But that's not the full deal. Postfix needs access to some hashed configuration files containing the transport maps and the domains of the mailman installation, and mailman needs the contents of the postfix configuration file. As a quick and dirty solution, I've established a process which periodically copies the /var/lib/mailman3 directory from the mailman box to the postfix box using rsync. But I would like to have a more professional solution, like a directly shared directory between both. I did not yet find any suggestions on how to achieve this. Are there any best practices recommendations? I already tried sharing the directories using sshfs, but that did not work. I connected the remote directory postfix.example.com:/var/lib/mailman3 to my local directory /var/lib/mailman3 using sshfs root@postfix.example.com:/var/lib/mailman3 /var/lib/mailman3 This seemed to work pretty fine, as all files and directories seemed to be available, but when starting mailman 3, the following error message was shown: FileExistsError: A race condition might have happened. /var/lib/mailman3 actually exists and is not a directory. Any idea why this message is shown? So, is it a bad idea to use sshfs? Do I have to install an NFS server? But I am not sure if sharing directories using NFS across the Internet is a good idea... Any suggestions? Best regards Tom
