I'm having a lot of trouble with trying to set up mailman3 on my mail server.
It's on an AWS instance, running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. All software is installed from Ubuntu packages. Mailman version is 3.2.2.
Please see <https://wiki.list.org/x/12812344>[1]
The problem I am trying to troubleshoot first is how this can be happening:
Oct 14 11:27:26 2021 (2341) ACCEPT: <f36e1ed0-9d25-b661-9c94-4ce999f6d5fd@elyograg.org> Oct 14 11:27:27 2021 (2344) Cannot connect to SMTP server 127.0.0.1 on port 25
From the shell, I can "telnet localhost 25" successfully, even as the "list" user. Apparmor is disabled. The UFW firewall is enabled, which allows all traffic on the loopback interface. I disabled ipv6 at the kernel level, but had the same problem with ipv6 enabled, so I don't think ipv6 is related at all. I do not see any connections in the postfix log that correspond to the mailman connection error.
There's a long thread on this at <https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/5HD4SBASMERP5CUEWCNQCB7KNAIQWSXF/>. Your issue may not be the same, but that one had to do with templates, perhaps created in Postorius, that couldn't be accessed.
From a fresh install of mailman, I created two mailing lists. Once upon a time I had those lists active on a Debian 6 machine running mailman 2.1.13 ... I copied the mailing list config from that machine over and used the "import21" facility to import the configuration into the new mailman3 install. That worked without error and I can see the lists and their members with the "mailman" command. I found instructions for integration with postfix, and added the required three config lines to the postfix config.
When I try to send a message to the list, I get what I pasted above in the mailman log. I think that means the postfix integration is working, and is forwarding to mailman.
Yes, and the message should be archived in whatever archivers are enabled. If the prototype archiver is enabled you should see the message in Mailman's var/archives/prototype/<list-id>/new/ directory and if HyperKitty is enabled, in mailman's database in the hyperkitty_email table.
I'm hoping somebody can give me some pointers, and if more information is needed for troubleshooting, let me know what is needed.
If your web UI isn't working, you probably haven't created any templates
in Postorius, but import21 will create templates and if you ran import21
as root, you may have created templates and perhaps other things that
can't be accessed by the Mailman user (list in your case). All Mailman
related commands should be run only by the Mailman user.
[1] This FAQ says you should be going to Debian/Ubuntu for support. If you've tried that and are not getting help there, I respectfully submit that you should purge the Debian/Ubuntu package and start over from here <https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html>.
