Hiding an ML from a site
I host two MLs on the same server/same MM3 instance. Under the Django Admin interface, I created two sites. I expected that each ML will belong to its own site and should not be visible on another site. On https://mm3-lists.kictanet.or.ke/mm/lists/, you can see the two lists. How do I stop the "Users" list from showing up on this site ( https://mm3-lists.kictanet.or.ke/mm/lists/) since it belongs to its own site - https://exim4u.org/mm/lists/ ?

In your settings file, add the line: FILTER_VHOST = True
# Mailman Web configuration file. # /etc/mailman3/settings.py ... #Filter visible Mailing Lists based on the current host being used to serve. FILTER_VHOST = True

I had this set to True in settings_local.py, but False in settings.py. So it seems to not make a difference in my setup.

In a standard setup, anything set in settings_local.py overrides any corresponding setting in settings.py.
That said, FILTER_VHOSTS is not perfect. It only works for Postorius if the separate web hosts also have different mail hosts. See lines 1051 et seq at <https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/blob/master/src/postorius/views/list....>

What should I do then? Edit some file? Apply some patch? It's pretty easy for me to create a DNS record for the same server (IP) for use with the web host that I'd like to hide.

In the Domains view in postorius, you need separate mail hosts. Then you need to change the domain of one of the lists to the 'new' mail host. This implies changing its address which may not be acceptable.
Or, you can just live with it as is.
Note, I have been without power at my house for almost 3 days now, so I don't have access to all my usual resources.

Looking at Postorius, they do have different mail hosts. See the screenshot at: https://imgur.com/a/GsiiEjP

The problem with this is that those who go to the site have been trying to subscribe to the other ML.

In Kenya, the blackouts can last equally long at times - and there is nothing we can do about it because the power distributor is a monopoly. Sorry for all the loss you've incurred from the foods getting spoilt in the fridge :-(

Are you using the magic SITE_ID=0 in your settings file? For our deployments, that was necessary to get it to auto-detect which filter to apply based on the domain name used by the browser.

Yes, I do have that in settings_local.py

That looks as it should. I don't know why FILTER_VHOSTS isn't working.
