Is a directory: '…/mailman/templates'
hey folks,
I am struggling with my mailman server for quite some time now. I am on 3.3 and the out runner cannot sent emails any more. According to this issue 1 I found out--by logging the exception as well--, that mailman has this problem:
Mar 31 09:34:51 2020 (71057) ACCEPT: c1e4aa1be5b61c289c69a66a6d55565333d5a35b.camel@rumpelsepp.org Mar 31 09:34:52 2020 (71079) Cannot connect to SMTP server 127.0.0.1 on port 25: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mailman/templates'
What the hell is going on here? ☹︎ any ideas what's wrong? The runner doesn't try to connect to postfix, since it fails with a strange template error.

You need to downgrade one of the dependency of Mailman, importlib_resources to 1.0.2 version.
Depending on how you installed it, you can use pip to install that version. This is a recent change and probably happened if you installed or upgraded your Mailman instance.

I had this issue over the weekend and wasted many hours on it.
Downgrade importlib-resources to 1.0.2 and it should work fine.
There was a prior post on this list a few days ago as well which I missed.
Best. Andrew.

Thanks folks for your answers! I ended up deploying a backup, but I am prepared for next time…

With latest python3 via yum install, you cannot downgrade importlib.
@maxking -- what is the thinking on real fix? Can we avoid downgrading or switch to a different library?

This should be fixed by https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/merge_requests/615 which is included in Mailman core 3.3.1rc1.

Thanks for fast response. I just tried the rc1 candidate and subscriptions are working again.
I'll run through the use-cases. thanks again.
