Presumably, the 3 test emails are newer than the messages in the archive .mbox. The default for hyperkitty_import is to not import messages older than the newest message in the existing archive.

I'm interested specifically in configuration changes required to Gunicorn in order to bring up the Django project using Mailman-web. mailman-suite is really just an example containing a Django settings file and urls.py and wsgi.py. mailman-web is a package which installs Mailman's web UI including HyperKitty and Postorius. Neither of these addresses the wsgi server per se. It could be Gunicorn, uWSGI, Apache mod_wsgi or possibly something else. Apparently you are using Gunicorn and want to continue to do so. I think the only required changes to Gunicorn might be file system paths.

It probably isn't even set in your case and defaults to 900 if it isn't set. Yes, you can set it to a larger value. If your archive search engine is woosh and your archive is even moderately large, 1800 probably isn't nearly enough.

Log rotation per se is not done by Mailman. It is up to some external process like logrotate. As far as reopening logs post rotation is concerned, the mailman command 'mailman reopen' is used for the core logs. What is done for web logs depends on the web configuration.

Python doesn't recognize windows-874 as known charset. You can probably find the message in var/archives/hyperkitty/spool/. As long as it's there, HyperKitty will keep retrying.

I still dont get why it failed as the From: field was there. There was no From: header in your example. There was an envelope from, aka envelope sender, aka unixfrom, so it should not have failed. The mystery here is why the code at https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/blob/master/src/mailman/runners/lmtp.p… apparently failed to set the `MAIL FROM:` value.

The gotcha is the web UI (postorius, hyperkitty, django-mailman3 and thus the WSGI process under which Django runs is Python 2.7 in Mailman 3.1 and associates and Python 3.5+ in Mailman 3.2 and associates. This migration can be tricky depending on your exact configuration. The most difficult situation I encountered was on a server that also supported MoinMoin which is a Python 2.7 WSGI process. Thus I needed both Python 2.7 and Python 3 WSGI support.

Python's standard library mailbox module can be used to read a set of messages in any of Maildir, mbox, MH, Babyl, or MMDF format and write them to a mbox format file which can then be imported into HyperKitty. The requirements are that the exported messages have headers like an email message. At a minimum, From:, Date: and Subject:.

Am I right in thinking that a UI configured template will override the ones in that directory tree? That is correct. Creating a template in Postorius will put an entry for that template in the template table in the database with a URI pointing to Postorius and that is where Mailman core will go to find that template. However, it you delete that template from Postorius, that will remove the entry from the template table, and absent that, Mailman core will fall back to default search rules. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

One thing to note is the bounce messages coming in from Gmail are being generated by Office 365 (as that is the outbound smarthost for the Mailman server), so it may be due to the format of those NDRs why we aren't seeing the original bounce messages attached to the email. So as I understand it, Office 365 is sending the mail to the gmail recipient which is presumably rejecting the mail at SMTP with a 5xx status. Does Office 365 report the failure to Mailman with a failure status at SMTP time or later with an emailed DSN. If the former, there should be log messages in Mailman's smtp.log indicating the number of failures '$msgid post to $listname from $sender, $size bytes, $refused failures' and the reason for each '$msgid delivery to $recip failed with code $smtpcode, $smtpmsg'. Also, we create a fake DSN. See https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/blame/master/src/mailman/runners/outgo… If the latter we have the DSN from Office 365.

No. You probably don't need ProxyPassReverse at all, but it doesn't hurt and it should be the same URL as in ProxyPass.

I guess it doesn't harm anything to have just one database for both but wondered whether it was a good idea to split eventually? It is mostly a matter of taste. There is no conflict in tables between Mailman core and Django, so it's perfectly OK to use a single database. Splitting the databases enables more separation between Django and Mailman core and would possibly make it easier to run them on different servers if that was desired. It would even allow using different database managers for them, although I don't know why one would want that.

Mailman 3 has more runner processes than Mailman 2.1 and they are larger. That is the difference in what you are seeing, but in neither case does this indicate an issue. Much if the memory footprint you see is idle memory that is only used because no other process needs it.

Not currently in Mailman 3. At least not easily. I suppose you could just create the new lists, e.g. with something like: #! /bin/bash for list in `cat lists`; do bin/mailman create $list done and then run database queries to update the mailinglist table entries for the new lists.

I can't find back if I have changed the ownership of these manually. Probably not. Most files are created by `mailman import21` and you probably ran that as `mailman`. It is only the list specific templates that are created by hyperkitty_import which you may have run as root. > Is it sufficient to change the ownership manually, or is there another change required too? No other change is required. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

What that post describes is for Mailman 2.1, how to hijack Mailman's generated aliases for Postfix and apply them to sendmail. The hope is that someone who understands how to configure sendmail can take those ideas and apply them to the Postfix transport and domain mappings generated in var/data/postfix_lmtp and var/data/postfix_domains to generate what is needed for sendmail. Hopefully, once people figure out how to do this, they will inform us of the solution and we can update the docs. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
