Two questions regarding Mailman 3 installation:
- The Mail server setup at http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/devsetup.html#set-up-a-mail-server isn't described yet. Instead it refers to https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/email/#topic-email-backends, but it doesn't say which file I have to change.
That link doesn't belong there. Mailman doesn't use Django to send mail.
According to https://www.webforefront.com/django/setupdjangoemail.html the file is called settings.py, but the only settings.py I can find at this stage is the /opt/mailman/postorius/example_project/settings.py file.
According to http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/devsetup.html#set-up-and-run-postorius, "Postorius and HyperKitty both come with example_project directories with basic configuration so you can try them out. For this tutorial, however, we'll be using a project that combines both instead.".
In what file should I change the mail settings then?
Nothing in https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/email/#topic-email-backends or https://www.webforefront.com/django/setupdjangoemail.html is relevant to Mailman.
A more appropriate discussion is at http://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/mta.html
- While installing Hyperkitty*) I got the error message "Django 1.11rc1 is installed but Django<1.11 is required by {'django-haystack'}".
As I have slavishly followed the installation guide including http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/devsetup.html#set-up-django-mailman3, I wonder why a non-supported Django version was installed.
*) http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/devsetup.html#set-up-and-run-hyperkitty
This is an issue. The various setup.py files for django-mailman3, hyperkitty and postorius all have Django>=1.8 as a requirement. Only postorius also has Django<1.11. django-mailman3 and hyperkitty should have that restriction too.
I have submitted https://gitlab.com/mailman/django-mailman3/issues/4 and https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty/issues/128 for this.
