Thanks. That fixed it.

- In the docs, the instructions say "POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL = 'http://localhost:8000'. As a reader, you are thinking, I'm running both hyperkitty and postorius. Hyperkitty is at /archives/ and postorius is at /mailman3/ . What about the path '/mailman3/ for postorius? The doc could mention the path even if it's to explain why it's not needed. (The reason perhaps it's not needed is root will redirect to '/mailman3/'.)
I'm guessing you are looking at https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman-web/en/latest/settings.html#mailm...
Although the name of the setting includes Postorius, the definition there says "Base URL where Django/Mailman-web would be listening for requests." I.e., the base URL for accessing Django, not Postorius.
- This all seems very self-referential. The setting goes into settings.py which is the website for postorius itself. It is accessing itself. Given that's the case do you really need to tell Django about it's own URL? Doesn't it know it's own URL already? Could Django just contact itself without being configured?
It and in this case Postorius know the /mailman3/... part, but they don't necessarily know the appropriate base url for accessing the Django WSGI.
- Logging... when it can't find the templates, does it log an error anywhere?
Mailman's outgoing runner logs an error to the mailman.error log, usually written to mailman.log. The not at all descriptive log message says "Cannot connect to SMTP server <configured smtp_host> on port <configured smtp_port>", but it only logs it the first time and not again until there is a successful delivery.
This issue is https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/514 which I am in the process of fixing.
- The server had been up for a year. After I rebooted, the problem vanished, even after removing the new setting. So either it's caching the setting in Redis, or else the problem is really gone. Very strange.
