How to get Mailman core to provide more debug info in a running environment
Docker-mailman 0.1.1
I am using Mailman 3.1 in production and I am trying to debug a problem[1] so I tried to setting Mailman to provide more debug info in the smtp.log file[2]. I might have been doing it wrong, but in the mailman-extra.cfg I set
[logging.smtp-failure] path: smtp.log
and restarted Mailman, which stopped incoming mails until removing the added section. What is the correct way to get Mailman to provide more debug info in the smtp.log

That’s a typo/leftover in the schema.cfg comments. There is no longer an smtp-failure log so [logging.smtp-failure] can’t be used.
However you said that “stopped incoming mails”. Can you provide more information on exactly what happened? Bogus logging sections should effectively be ignored.

Oh okay. I suppose that smtp failures will be logged in the smtp.log by default then? Or otherwise, how do I increase logging if needed. For now I found the problem by consulting the mailman.log.

Actually I think my Postfix docker container got confused when restarting the Mailman core container. I just associated it with my change in mailman-extra.cfg.

Yes, that’s correct. Just use smtp.log.

You can get more logging by changing the level. The default level for most loggers is 'info', but you can set it to 'debug' with an override like
[logging.template] level: debug
or for a specific logger, e.g.
[logging.smtp] level: debug

Dear Henrik.
Have you able to figure out the issue you had[1]. I had similar (in your case certain mailing list, but in my case every lists on some domain). I made smtp log level: debug.
What I find is,
Using agent:
When lists works it appeared on log. On failing I couldn't find this.
