[MM3-users] Strange behaviour when SSL (https) is activated

by fr-mm3＠tourde.org

Hi, I do a fresh install of Mailman3 and Mailman3-web on Debian 11 and all seems working fine using non-ssl access. But if I activate SSL on the web server, I'm unable to login. I go to the /admin, prompted for the user/pass, and got a Firefox error page saying "Échec de la connexion sécurisée". Main django account was created with: mailman-web createsuperuser --username XXXX --email xxxx(a)xxxx.xx extract of /var/log/mailman3/web/mailman-web.log : [pid: 103142|app: 0|req: 40/40] 192.168.200.252 () {48 vars in 1039 bytes} [Mon Jan 3 11:26:32 2022] GET /accounts/login/ => generated 9321 bytes in 37 msecs (HTTP/1.1 200) 7 headers in 429 bytes (1 switches on core 0) Mon Jan 3 11:26:40 2022 - uwsgi_response_write_headers_do(): Broken pipe [core/writer.c line 248] during POST /accounts/login/ (192.168.200.252) OSError: write error [pid: 103142|app: 0|req: 41/41] 192.168.200.252 () {54 vars in 1008 bytes} [Mon Jan 3 11:26:40 2022] POST /accounts/login/ => generated 0 bytes in 704 msecs (HTTP/1.1 302) 9 headers in 0 bytes (1 switches on core 1) All is working fine on non-ssl connection.

[MM3-users] CSS Hyperkitty ERROR

by Johan Alsina

Hi, i installed mailman3 with virtualenv, all is working fine, the admin site works fine, the mailman(postorious) site works fine, but when im in hyperkitty the site shows without the css style.. in my web browser dev tool it shows like they loaded ok.. Here you can see what i see when loading hyperkitty https://freeimage.host/i/3n6kXKQ and mailman(postorius) https://freeimage.host/i/mailman.3n6kVix When i run my server with verbosity it shows like all is loading ok: https://freeimage.host/i/3n6SViG Any ideas? :/ My static files are loading from /static/CACHE/css/output.a0f71925131b.css and /static/hyperkitty/libs/fonts/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css It seems like the real error are in the /static/CACHE files, because hyperkitty is the only one who load files from this directory.. postorius uses /static/postorius and all the css files are working fine. I checked permissions for the directory, cleared cache, etc.. i dont know what to do. This is my config for staticfiles: STATIC_URL = 'static/' STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles') STATICFILES_DIRS = [ os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'), '/opt/mailman/projectes/mailman3web/static/CACHE', Thank you so much in advance.

There are no 'X-Mailman' headers which might be exchange removing all 'X-' headers other than its own, but while there are some 'List-' headers, there is no 'List-Id:' header which Mailman always adds.

[MM3-users] Converting non-members to members

by Alan So

Postorius is not currently exposing non-members management. Our Mailman 2 users are currently using accept_these_nonmembers, hold_these_nonmembers and reject_these_nonmembers. We know that mailman import21 will change these to nonmembers entries in Mailman 3. Since list owners will still want to manage them, we tend to move all of them to members and turn off delivery status for them. However, we met some difficulties when we try to develop using mailman client. 1) If those non-members addresses already exist as members, we will encounter error when we subscribe for them: urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 409: b'Member already subscribed' 2) We cannot change the moderation_action: urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: b'Cannot convert parameters: moderation_action' 3) We cannot change the preference: urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: b'Cannot convert parameters: delivery_status' Are there any better ways to enable the list owners to manage those previously configured nonmembers' addresses through the web? Otherwise, we probably need to have some manual effort to overcome the above three issues. We know that we can always do the above manually but we got a lot of lists to migrate to Mailman 3.

It is how our queuing system is built, every queue is stored on disk and messages in intermediate states like when being processed or decorated inside Mailman Core as stored on disk. *Most* of these isn't the problem, since the emails are sent out pretty fast, it's the held messages waiting for approval or broken messages in the shunt queue that would be lost and is what I mean by "State" mostly.

[MM3-users] mailman.log file owned by 'list' user

by Mike Wertheim

I'm on Debian 11, trying to troubleshoot an installation of Mailman 3.3.3 that was done by someone else. Mailman is running as a non-privileged (non-root) user called 'xyz'. On the day that Mailman was installed, that non-privileged 'xyz' user was able to execute mailman commands successfully to create, view and modify lists. A couple of days later, when the 'xyz' user tried running those same mailman commands, they failed with this error: PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/log/mailman3/mailman.log' Doing "ls -l" on the file /var/log/mailman3/mailman.log showed this: -rw-r----- 1 list list 0 Jan 6 00:00 /var/log/mailman3/mailman.log When I did a 'ps' command, I saw that all of the mailman processes are running as user 'xyz'. No processes were running as the user 'list'. It seems that some process is rotating the mailman.log file at midnight, and the newly-created mailman.log is being owned by user 'list'. Can anyone explain why this is happening, and how to fix it?

[MM3-users] Re: Easiest way to install a new mailman3 deployment?

by Matthew Alberti

I had a very similar experience. I don't mean to knock the dev team; Mailman3 is an awesome tool that really meets a need. It is really much much more than a 'tool.' A very comprehensive software suite. For me, I ended up using the docker option on Ubuntu 20.04. My advice is to give up on the idea of using OS package managers. They just aren't current enough (certainly for Ubuntu LTS), or updated frequently enough, for the current development of Mailman3. Nothing but problems for me on Ubuntu, and Debian is about the same. Pypi, or installation in a virtualized environment, was equally challenging. I strongly recommend the docker installation method. It is not quite turnkey, but the documentation is close enough where it might 'just work' in your environment. I used MariaDB, and that introduced some challenges. If you are using postgre, postfix, and nginx, you are pretty close to a very easy installation. This list is very supportive, with very frequent responses from the core dev team. And there are guys like me who really struggled to get to a production instance. Please let us all know what isn't working in the docker approach, and we will try to help I'm sure. - Matt Alberti ⁣Get BlueMail for Android On Dec 31, 2020, 8:15 PM, at 8:15 PM, ieso(a)johnwillson.com wrote: >So I've been trying for the last two weeks to get a new mailman3 server >running on a virtualized server (any server), and I'm turning to this >list after having failed many times and running out of holiday time. > >I started trying a non-docker installation on Ubuntu 18.04 >(https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xIcSsoNFp2nHi7r4eQys00s9a0k2sHhu1V5Plan…) >, which got me the closest.

If so, it is probably listening on port 465 (the "submissions" port, AKA ssmtp and smtps) or (less likely) 587 (the "submission" port -- no trailing "s"). Mailman needs to be configured correctly for this. See https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/mta/docs/connection.ht… It's barely possible that Postfix is listening on port 25 but insists on TLS. But that's very unusual, and I think that would produce a SMTP error such as "Need STARTTLS" or "Need SASL" (which happen *after* the TCP connection is established) instead of "Cannot connect" (which suggests a TCP error before a connection is completed). > I have no idea what to do for solving my problems.

The message about "ASCII" codec usually means that this occurred in the header of the email, which is typical of spam. The message ID was generated by Mailman not by the originating system, which is also indicative of spam. If it is spam, you can identify the message and delete it from the archive. If it's not, you will need to find the text that is being replaced and delete it or replace it with ASCII yourself. > I ran the check_hk_import script before migrating and it was not > giving any error.

[MM3-users] Is there a "global" max_message_size?

by skenny＠scss.tcd.ie

I'm running Mailman under Docker (maxking). I've a test list with a max_message_size set to 0 (unlimited). I know it's not what anyone should be doing in production, but I still want to test this. I've sent a series of messages with increasingly larger attachments to the list. Going up in 5MB increments, I find that while a message with a 15MB attachement gets through to the list members, a 20MB one doesn't. The interesting thing is the message in the mail logs: Jun 19 11:44:50 venus postfix/lmtp[17630]: C0C7928564: to=<mj(a)lists.scss.tcd.ie>, relay=172.19.199.2[172.19.199.2]:8024, delay=109, delays=2.2/0.04/0.01/107, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host 172.19.199.2[172.19.199.2] said: 552 Error: Too much mail data (in reply to end of DATA command)) So 172.19.199.2 is complaining about "Too much mail data". That's the IP address of the mailman-core container. I'm wondering why this is happening, and where the decision is being made, as it seems at odds with the fact that the mailing list has no limit on message size. Would be grateful for any insights, many thanks. Stephen Kenny

Overall I have been more happier with the virtualenv approach as it allows me to customise the install more easier. I did look at running Mailman using Azure Container instances. The main thing here is we need to get the MTA integrated, and the MTA needs to send out emails from a static IP address with reverse DNS etc setup. This isn't easy to do on anything other than a VM. Sorry, can you elaborate? Are you talking about an MTA that runs inside a VM? Docker actually isn't a VM, so I am a bit confused.

I have now seen a similar instance on one of my servers. I was able to get the raw garbled response from the user. I have asked to get the raw message that was sent, but unfortunately, I haven't gotten it and I suspect I won't. I think it was an attempted post sent by mistake to the LIST-confirm address. I have tried, so far without success, to duplicate this, but I will keep at it. The raw message is attached. This one is worse than the one in the OP in that the Content-Transfer-Encoding is base64, but the content is unreadable in the raw message. It is clearly not a valid base64 encoding. I'm guessing that the original message looked similar to the one in the OP, but Microsoft Exchange garbled it by doing some attempt at base64 decoding the unencoded plain text and placing that result in the message body -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

[MM3-users] migration plan and auto responder

by Mohsen Masoudfar

Hi, I am writing this in the hope to get some good advises for migration lists from Mailman2 to Mailman3. Thanks a lot in advance. Here is the requirements: * During the migration the old system shouldn't process the emails for the list under migration in the normal way. It should send an email, and only one to the member who sent the original email to the list saying the list is under migration. I know I could do this by auto responder, but the original email would be processed and sent to all members, which I want to block . * After migration the old system should send, per auto responder again, an email to the member who sent to the list, mentioning the new address (the domain is a new one, the list name the same), but again not sending the original email to the list members. * No hackers, robots, spammers should get the new list address. The lists are all hidden. Best regards Mohsen Masoudfar Lead System Analyst, IT Operation American Association for the Advancement of Science 1200 New York Ave, NW, Washington, DC 20005 202-326-7087

[MM3-users] Delayed password requests & migrating users from mm2

by Duane Raymond

Hi again, With my new mm3 instance, password reset email to members are being received many hours late or not at all. They seem to be sent fine and when I trigger one to one of my addresses, it works instantly. But many users report getting it many hours later or not at all (despite looking in spam and bulk folders). Anyone else experience this password reset mail delay/vanishing and/or have any suggestions for diagnosing it and resolving it? The main reason this is problematic is that in migrating lists from mm2, I've set a 'fake' password for them in the mm3 db and instructed members to reset their password to set a new one so they can access the list and update their subscription and/or subscribe to other lists (which they can also do without an account of course - but then lose the ability to use the web interface and access archives). So if, as an alternative, there is another way to get list members to access their account then I'm open to it. Cheers, Duane

Since this is a Mailman 3 list, I assume you are asking about MM 3. Mailman 3 defines the list attribute accept_these_nonmembers, but it is not currently implemented to actually have any effect, nor is it exposed in Postorius. At the present, I think you would have to create a user record with the address and add that user to all lists with role nonmember and moderation_action 'defer' to apply subsequent tests or 'accept' to unconditionally accept posts from that address.

One big cosmetic change is Settings page for List owners, which now has a vertical menu on the left instead of horizontal tabs. The major problem with horizontal tabs for settings was that we were running out of horizontal space in our page width, because of which we weren't able to separate out settings in as-many sections as wanted to. Bounce processing for example was a part of the "Member Policy" tab which included subscription/un-subscription policies. Now, we have a new section for "bounce processing" and flexibility to group other settings into a new section for better discovery of so many list settings. Hopefully, this will be the last rc and I'll do a stable release next weekend!

Stefan Bauer writes: > As i only use sqlite, i will give it a try to just copy the database files. OK, if sqlite works for you, I think there's no hurry (I don't know of any severe performance issues for small sites, nor security issues). However, I still recommend considering a migration to one of the more powerful RDMBSes like PostgreSQL or MySQL for the long run, because Mailman installations can easily scale to sizes where sqlite becomes a performance bottleneck. It's not that hard to do, because Mailman (mostly via the Django and SQLAlchemy ORMs, but I think there's some "raw" SQL in Mailman) sticks to the common core for SQL, so you can dump the database as SQL commands and then restore it in another SQL database without too much fiddling. You may need some fiddling, such as the database-specific initializations such as setting the encoding for text items and ensuring that sized columns are wide enough, but mostly that will be taken care of by the ORMs. Regards, Steve

[MM3-users] Finding a user to delete them

by Quanah Gibson-Mount

Due to a bug in mailman3, I have an incorrect user that's been created via github auth that has no confirmed email address yet. I've been poking around the user manager documentation (why is there no UI for user management???), and after adding in bits that are missing from the official documentation (<https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/model/docs/usermanager…> is missing "from mailman.testing.documentation import dump_list" despite using dump_list repeatedly in its examples) I can't find the user. I have the confirmation email mailman3 sent out, that tells me the username mailman3 created for the incorrect account is "quanah98", but the user manager documentation doesn't detail how to find a user by their username, only their email. And apparently if the email hasn't been confirmed (and I *do not* want it confirmed), you can't find them by email. Suggestions on how to track down this user so I can delete them would be much appreciated.

I'm not an SQL expert, but I believe that sequences and indexes are different entities, they're both optimizations that you don't need (ie, ignoring performance), and implementations differ on how they're implemented. Eg, if sqlite implements them as tables, while PostgreSQL has a special data structure, you could run into this kind of behavior. I'm pretty sure that these will be recreated appropriate to the new database when the schema validator is done. But don't trust me, and *do* keep a backup. ;-) Steve

None of this is really possible in Postorius without modifying source code. However, Postorius is just an example of a web list management UI.

Change the offending .encode() method to add errors='replace'. The traceback from the error should tell you where it is. You could also open an issue at <https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty/-/issues> for us to look at. If you do that, please include an error traceback if possible. If there is not a traceback in mailman.log associated with the error, there might be one in HyperKitty's log (configured in Django's settings).

There is no configuration for HyperKitty in the default configuration (mailman/config/schema.cfg and the active mailman.cfg). You need to have an [archiver.hyperkitty] section in the active mailman.cfg. If you never added one, check the documentation for what needs to go in there and add one. If you already have a HyperKitty section, run `mailman info`, which will tell you what mailman.cfg is being used. If it gives an unexpected answer, you're probably just running `mailman` in a "wrong" place (wrong only because the search algorithm finds the unexpected configuration file). Try running `mailman` from a different current working directory. There is one tricky point. For reasons I don't understand, `mailman` will often create var/etc/mailman.cfg, and it will be empty except for comments. I've found it very easy to trip over that file, so I usually do `ln -s /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg var/etc/mailman.cfg` to placate the evil spirits.

And nothing will. Mailman sent the message originally and when it was done sending it, it discarded the outgoing message. The message may have been archived depending on the list's archiving settings, but that's it. No version of Mailman 2.1 or Mailman 3 has ever automatically resent bounced messages. If the failures are temporary, the MTA should keep the message queued and retry up to a limit before reporting a bounce, but that's it. The best you can do is get the messages from the archive (you can export a mbox from Hyperkitty or get the messages from Mailman's var/archives/prototype/LIST_ADDRESS/new/ directory) and manually resend them. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Returned mail is not something that such a service would be able to handle properly (although they can help with apparently returned spam). If mail is legitmately sent and returned as undeliverable, only the author or their agent will know how to handle it. So such >services should provide some way to find out about returned mail.

Adapt ListServ configurations as much as possible to Mailman list attributes (there's not much you can do automatically unfortunately).. 6. Import the lists into Mailman. 7. Import the archives into HyperKitty. Steps 1--3 are identical to the same steps for Mailman 2. Steps 4 and 7 are well-documented (eg, for importing from Mailman 2), and it doesn't matter what MLM you're importing from. Step 5 is manual labor.

Thought it might be a permissions > issue but it's owned by the correct user. My guess would be that mailman is using a different location for storing these files (aliases, domains, etc.) One could search the system for where (if) the files were created with something like: find / -name "postfix_domains" Another (better?) thought would be to compare the [paths] pointed to by the "layout: ..." in /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg to ensure it's pointing where you expect (in this case, /opt/mailman3/mm/var/data for data_dir). As user mailman, running: mailman conf to double check the "layout: ..." that's in use.

[MM3-users] Re: How to setup mailman?

by Jacob Bargery

Depends on what you are wanting to install it on. As for the API need, not really sure what you are meaning with that so I for installing Mailman 3 similar to what you see here with Postorious and Hyperkitty, I would recommend some great instructions I could find by Kelly Close who often posts on here. They are at this link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xIcSsoNFp2nHi7r4eQys00s9a0k2sHhu1V5Plan… They worked great when I was installing for a ubuntu 18.04 set up. However I needed to install on 20.04 and that required a few deviations and was a complicated install, so if you can do 18.04 I highly recommend the link above. (Kelly, if you read this, thank you for making those instructions, they saved me when beginning my set up) Note: Using instructions and not installing from source means that a lot of people can't help you with problems you come across during install. I found people still try to help but it's much harder. I will link the options from the Mailman website, however I found them difficult to follow when I was trying. https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/install.html

A pointer to the appropriate documentation would be more than welcome. Thank you to anyone who can provide help. I'm not sure what you want. If you are an owner or moderator of a list or a superuser, you can handle moderation requests via Postorius. If you are a list owner or a superuser, you can manage owners and moderators via Postorius. You can add superusers via the command line django admin `createsuperuser` command. It might be good if the command line `mailman addmembers` and `mailman delmembers` commands accepted a `role`, but they don't. You can manage owners and moderators via the REST API which you can access via curl. See <https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/rest/docs/…>. You can also do this via `mailman shell`. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

After approving the moderation message I then receive a lot of other moderation messages for the sub-lists that are members of the "top-most" list (since the non-member is not a member of any of the sub-lists). Is there any way to approve a message for moderation once and have all sub-lists automatically approve the message? That capability doesn't exist. If the poster were a member of the top-most list this issue <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/794>, currently not fixed, would apply, but for non-members, even that wouldn't do.

In that case how I create alias not related to mailman?

[MM3-users] Re: Change 'from' server for outgoing messages

by Benjamin Goldberg

Well, this is interesting. Based on your reply, I stopped trying to figure out any difference between the admin messages and the posts. Instead I removed the settings which routed the outgoing messages through MailerSend. That worked. I received both a welcome message and a post from a list I created just for this test. Then I restored the settings, and it still worked! Without the external routing, my messages ended up in spam but at least they were delivered. Routed through MailerSend they get delivered to my inbox. I'll do some more testing because this all seems strange and I'm not convinced it's fixed. BTW the errors that I had been getting were, at first: response exception: (450, b'The from.email must be verified. The from.email must be verified.') but later changed to: response exception: (450, b'Sorry, please try again. 429 Too many requests.') I had assumed both errors were being generated by MailerSend but now I'm not sure I'm not sure it's fixed but if not, I'm certainly closer. Thank you

[MM3-users] Re: Moderator e-mails only going out once a day

by Stephen J. Turnbull

Joe, It may help to have more information about what your system is like. Specifically: 1. Did you install Mailman from our source distribution, from PyPI, or from some other source? 2. Did you install Mailman in its own virtual environment? 3. When you run 'mailman info', does the output make sense? Especially, is the configuration file (mailman.cfg) in the directory (usually /etc/mailman3) you expect? 4. How do you control the Mailman processes? Using systemd's systemctl utility, SysV init scripts, or the 'mailman' and 'mailman-web' utilities? If you are not using the systemd or init utilities, what is the current directory when you start or restart Mailman? 5. Is the virgin runner running? (ps aux | grep virgin) Are there messages stuck in queue/virgin or elsewhere in queue/*? Especially queue/shunt and queue/bad. As long as I'm asking, may as well check these as well: 6. What versions of Mailman applications (mailman, Postorius, HyperKitty, mailmanclient, django-mailman3) are installed? 7. What version of Python are you running Mailman under? 8. What is the operating system?

I probably want the prototype archiver enabled, even if that means duplicating most of the archives and doubling the amount of data stored. I was not aware that Hyperkitty doesn't store all information. I'd like to have all information archived (in order to be able to restore it again, if need be), even if they aren't published. Now... is there a way to import mbox files into the prototype archiver? Looking around, I haven't found anything mentioning this. Since it's just using the Maildir format, I guess I could find a tool that unpacks messages from an mbox to a Maildir destination and get that done, but if mailman has some command to do that, it would be even better.

[MM3-users] Re: Postfix + MariaDB + Mailman 3 Core

by Peter Knowles

Steve, I'm referring to Postfix specific records, not Mailman records which are not the topic of conversation here. Presently, Mailman creates two files under "/opt/mailman/mm/var/data"... "postfix_lmtp" which is a "transport_maps" table "postfix_domains" which is a "relay_domains" table The instructions in the docs says to set these up as "hash" table entries in Postfix so that when they're updated by MM Postfix references get updated accordingly. What I'm doing is, converting the "hash tables" to MariaDB tables stored in a Postfix specific database. Two primary objectives are intended with this updated architecture design... 1. allow management of Postfix tables through my web UI 2. Offer future scalability whereby the database for MM and Postfix amongst other things may get placed on a separate node, and/or setup in a Master-Master mirror cluster. *** On a segway, but related to the overall goal... I'm adding OpenDKIM management into my admin UI, which also is tied to a MariaDB database for key signing tasks and management. For the same reasons above, this is why I'm moving from files to databases. ***

[MM3-users] Show number of subscribers

andrew.bernard(a)gmail.com writes: > Would there be a way to show the number of subscribers to a list in > the web UI? Currently the answer evidently is no. I'm not sure why Mark is pessimistic (except that I don't see hordes of list owners breaking down our doors for this feature), because I don't see why it couldn't be added. HyperKitty already imports mailmanclient, so it can query the list. If you want to pursue this, you should file an RFE in the tracker, but I won't promise it will be very high priority, and it does mean closer integration with core than we've had so far, so there might be some unease from the developers. (I don't see why there would be an issue, except for the slight increase in maintenance burden.) On the other hand, we do have a bunch of students and others interested who were attracted by Summer of Code and Season of Docs, and one of them might find this an interesting task. It's not an introductory project, but it looks straightforward to me, with well-defined requirements. Steve

[MM3-users] Message of the day

Henrik Rasmussen writes: > Are there any way of displaying a "Mesage of the day" to the users > of Postorius and Hyperkitty? Not built in to those applications. However, you could easily alter a template, possibly the base template, to include a file would contain your message with appropriate formatting. Django has a conditional include feature so you wouldn't get an error and no glitch in the display if the file weren't present. Extensions to the idea would include putting the formatting in CSS (sort of pointless by itself) and adding Django code to check whether the user's previous login was before the MOTD was changed (and then the CSS could be used to hide the message in case they had logged in recently, and presumably already saw it). It wouldn't be hard to add a MOTD table to Django, and then you could display all messages more recent than previous login. I'm not interested in doing this myself but would be willing to help a volunteer write the code and get it committed (subject to Steering Committee consensus, but I don't see why not). Steve

Maybe it makes sense if a person has many lists, but I only have this one. It does not say clearly that one has to subscribe after creating an account. I understand it's not totally explicit, but it says "To subscribe or unsubscribe from this list, please log in first. If you have not previously logged in, you may need to set up an account with the appropriate email address."

That's correct. The issue is in the account_emailaddress database table which is an allauth table that Mailman core and hence the REST api know nothing about. Our latest recommendation is django-allauth>=65.4, but that requires changes, see https://gitlab.com/mailman/django-mailman3/-/merge_requests/316 and https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-web/-/merge_requests/58 although the changes only affect testing and a deprecation warning. Also, installing that django-allauth version may result in upgrading Django to a version which doesn't support django-haystack<3.3.0 and may also require manually upgrading django-haystack. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

I am not sure where does Debian packaged version store it's fulltext index, but I am assuming the move somehow makes Hyperkitty not be able to read the index. Can you try removing and re-building the entire index? I don't know again the right command for Django there, but the hyperkitty command you want to run is called `rebuild_index`.

The default posting rules chain includes 'banned-address' which discards posts from banned addresses. You can work around this by creating a new chain based on mailman/chains/builtin.py but without the 'banned-address' rule and setting the list's posting_chain to use it. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Eggert's configuration is for uWSGI. This is completely different from Apache mod_wsgi. Background: Python PEP 333 defines the Python Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI) which is a protocol for communication between web servers and applications. Django is one such WSGI application. Basic web servers typically do not support WSGI directly but need some kind of intermediary. Apache mod_wsgi is an Apache module that extends Apache to communicate with WSGI applications. Both uWSGI and gunicorn are separate applications that can receive http requests via proxy from a web server and communicate them to a WSGI application and receive responses from the application and return them to the web server. Thus Apache mod_wsgi, uWSGI ang gunicorn are three separate ways of providing the connection between the web server and Django (or other WSGI applications), each with their own separate configuration requirements. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

When pip is doing an upgrade of the xyz package, it renames the existing package as ~yz and then ultimately deletes the old ~yz package after successfully installing the new xyz. In this case, the upgrade was aborted because of the Django<3.1 constraint in mailman-web and apparently pip then installed Django<3.1 and left the ~jango* directories behind. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

The From: should be unchanged from the incoming post unless the list is anonymous or DMARC mitigations are applied.

[MM3-users] confirm mail rejected

by Marc Sluiter

Hi, im trying to setup mailman and have an issue: first my environment: - I’m running postfix etc with "mailcow-dockerized": https://mailcow.github.io/mailcow-dockerized-docs/ - I’m running mailman with "docker-mailman": https://asynchronous.in/docker-mailman/ I got almost everything working (with some configuration modifications, see other mail). The only thing which doesn’t work is conformation mails, they are rejected: In the logs I see that postfix is trying both "liste-confirm+extension@domain" and "liste-confirm@domain" for another lookup map of type mysql (so "recipient_delimiter" is working), but not for the mailman map of type regexp. Just a wild guess, I didn't find anything about it: can it be that “recipient_delimiter" doesn't work for “regexp" maps? For now I worked around this issue by manually modifying the confirm regex in "postfix_lmtp” to /^liste-confirm\+.*(a)domain\.tld$/ Does anyone have an idea why the regexp map isn’t working for me and at least 1 other user (see https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/401)? Would my workaround be a long term solution which could be implemented in mailman? That would mean that mailman could work independent of the “recipient_delimiter” setting (or do I oversee something?) Thanks and greetings, Marc

That's nothing new, given that GMail and Microsoft liberally reject e-mail from small providers for no reason anyway (I have experienced it myself). If this situation doesn't change with ARC, I can live with this (by paying for an SMTP relay provider that proxies my e-mail). However, I thought the entire point in ARC was fixing automatic rejections caused by DMARC invalidation by mailing lists, which are vital for so many open-source projects (including Mailman iself). If ARC falls short of solving that problem, because the large providers do not automatically trust ARC, then supporting ARC on my mailing list server is kind of void. Why should almighty Microsoft trust my small personal mailing list server? ARC can only achieve its goal with black-listing untrusted relays rather than white-listing known good ones, because it is simply unfeasable to manually maintain a list of all open-source project mailing lists in the entire world.

The REST API does not use the web server and uWSGI is not involved. Since Mailman core 3.3.0, the REST API is served by Gunicorn processes that have nothing to do with the web server. The time limit for these processes needs to be set as described at <https://wiki.list.org/x/17892072>. Prior to 3.3.0, the REST API used the standard library wsgiref module which doesn't have timeouts.

Kind regards I don't know why this fails like that, particularly since the same thing works for migrate, collectstatic and compress.

How about mailing list creation using Mailman Client, like this? domains = client.domains domains = list(filter(lambda x: (domain_name == x.mail_host), domains)) # .. check if domains is a singleton list .. domain1 = domains[0] domain1.create_list(list_name, style_name=style_name) Do you know of any quirks/deficiencies related to this kind of code? This code is taken from mailman3-utils: https://github.com/sfindeisen/mailman3-utils , a set of scripts I stitched together to facilitate common Mailman3 operations on the command-line. Most importantly this can apply the (currently hardcoded) set of list settings uniformly across the different lists (and different domains). (I realize part of this overlaps with the mailman command, especially in the local setting.) Thanks Stanisław

All the pipeline runner does is put the message in the archive queue. It's the archive runner that is doing all these retries.

Since we don't know what the query for deleting a held message in the database needs to look like, we left that out for now. If someone can help me there, it would be great.

This is harder to do well (or even "well enough") than you might think. I recommend using some software targeting RFC 4122: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122. RFC 4122 is implemented in the Python standard library (the uuid module), so if you have Mailman, you have it. The command line utility uuidgen is also good, and you probably have that too if you prefer CLI scripting to Python. Steve

Is this a new IP address or one that has been used for mail traffic for a white? The only way Gmail and Hotmail will block an IP address is if you have some major outgoing spamming problems or in the case of a new IP address, the IP address has a sordid history which will be reveal if you do a RBL check on it. Gmail likes SPF records and MTA's that utilizes SSL for outbound mail. For Hotmail deliveries, you will want to signed up for Microsoft's Smart Network Data Service (SNDS) program which I find very good. Also sign up for their JMRP program for your IP address. -- Brian Carpenter Harmonylists.com Emwd.com

It's not as critical for core because barring things like 4-byte utf-8 unicode graphics in list configurations, core doesn't store anything like that in its tables.

Is mailman/src/mailman/templates/en/list:user:notice:rejected.txt what you're looking for? But it's not recommended to alter the source, because when you upgrade it will get overwritten, and then you have to remember how to do it again. I haven't done this myself, but IIRC you can select "Domains" from the menubar at the top, then the "Templates" button at the right, then "New Template", and select list:user:notice:rejected from the dropdown menu to set the template domain-wide. Unless you have a *lot* of domains, this is what I would recommend. There's a similar feature for individual lists. I forget how this interacts with localization for different languages, sorry.

The issue is the language context for this message has nothing to do with any Mailman list's preferred language. Again, see https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/topics/i18n/translation/#how-django-d… If all the lists on your server are French, you could set LANGUAGE_CODE = 'fr' in your Django settings. Otherwise, the user's browser has to include an Accept-Language: header specifying French as the most preferred language in it's request.

The bottom line is the table and column specifications are based on the Mailman database models, but are database specific. If I were doing this, I would dump the data from MySQL, but rather than using the CREATE TABLE queries from the dump, I would let Mailman create a new PostgreSQL database and then just load the existing tables from the MySQL dump. However, that may all be irrelevant. I don't know which table/column that specific item comes from, but it appears just visually that idx_680560_account_emailconfirm_email_address_id_5b7f8c58_fk_account_e is already truncated so further truncating it to idx_680560_account_emailconfirm_email_address_id_5b7f8c58_fk_ac may not be a problem. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Being a mailing list member is a Mailman core concept. It usually says you receive posts from the list based on your delivery status and you can post based on your moderation status. Logging in to the web UI to access HyperKitty and Postorius is a Django concept and requires a Django account. If all you want is to post by email and receive messages from the list, you don't need a Django account, but to manage your user settings via Postorius and to visit private archives, you do. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

More important, as long as the .mo file is more recent than the .po file, that's the best the release manager can do. I haven't been involved in the release process, so I can't swear to it personally, but if Mark says that new translations generate a merge request automatically, and we make sure that the translations are merged before release, I believe him. That's optimal as far I am concerned. Perhaps some enterprising soul would be willing to automate production of pip'able packages containing only new translations, but without that, I don't see how to beat our current procedures. (I wouldn't want to use such a thing, though, I'd be too afraid that one day all the translations would be replaced with Dril tweets!)

As list owner (or site admin) in Postorius go to Templates, and click on "New Template". Select list:admin:action:post from the drop-down menu to the right of "Name". Copy the current message (site-packages/mailman/templates/en/list:admin:action:post.txt is the original, but do not edit this -- it will be overwritten on upgrades) to the text box and edit to taste. Unfortunately there is no "web site" variable but typically that is the same for all lists, so adding https://your.host.here/mailman3/lists/$list_id/held_messages in some appropriate place probably does what you want. There is no way to indicate that this is a link because these messages are plain text. However, most mail clients will turn a URL into a link. If your moderators are not so lucky, try wrapping it with <URL:https://your.host.here/mailman3/lists/$list_id/held_messages> or even the usual HTML: <a href="https://your.host.here/mailman3/lists/$list_id/held_messages"> Moderation Page </a> One of those may help.

Are you saying the DKIM signature on the incoming post fails to validate in the post as sent from the list, or are you saying that a DKIM signature added by your MTA to the outgoing post fails to validate. If the former, this is probably expected. If your list does any content filtering, adds a subject prefix or adds a list header or footer, these transformations will break the incoming DKIM signature. This is why we offer DMARC mitigations. If the latter, you may be doing your own DKIM signing before Mailman applies transformations to the message.

[MM3-users] Set Postorius interface locale

by Duane Raymond

Hi everyone, Thanks to Brian I'm up and running with my migrated mailman3 lists and am now starting to get into customising the interface (styling and content). I've been trying to figure out how to set/change the Postorius locale - I specifically want to change some text strings on the info page without breaking the i18n mechanisms. I've worked with po and mo files before, so changing and compiling them isn't a problem. The problems I've encountered so far are: 1) Where do I set the local of the Postorius interface? 2) Individual lists have a language setting, but it doesn't seem to reflect what the Postorius locales are as the only english option is "English (USA)" and none of the other English speaking locales and on the file system there is no en-us PO files....so I suspect I'm looking in the wrong place. Am I looking at this all wrong? The documentation doesn't seem to have any info about this and yet the mechanisms seem to be there. Once I learn more I'm quite keen to start working on improving the documentation based on what I learn. Cheers, Duane

I deleted the list as well, and recreated it with the same name -- and the error repeated. I created a list with a different name, and there's no error. I must have really screwed something up in dovecot. Happily, this is a small list, so I'll just migrate everybody to the newly named "listname2". So.. as an aside, it was a bit of a hassle to copy and paste all the usernames from the "Users" list in Postorius to the "Mass subscribe." The only way I could see to do it was copy and paste them one at a time. That worked OK for me, since it's a small list, but that made me wonder if there was a way to select, say, 100 users out of Users and subscribe them all to a list. billo

We no longer use Django to manage our mailman 3 user registration, but the same concerns that you have are still valid for us. What we do is run a cronjob that purges all unverified accounts once per day. So problem solved for us.

[MM3-users] Re: SpamAssassin header confusion

by skenny＠scss.tcd.ie

My last post was speculative and wrong (my original one contained mistakes too). The summary question is this: A post to the mailing list passes through Amavis/Spamassassin on the mail server that feeds posts into Mailman. On the - different - mail server that delivers the message to my inbox (I'm a member of the list), it passes through another instance of Amavis/Spamassassin. So why do I only see one set of X-Spam-* headers - those added by the latter mail server? It turns out that there is a setting in Amavis called $remove_existing_spam_headers, and by default it is set to 1. It means: "remove existing spam headers if spam scanning is enabled (default)". That default setting on the latter mail server explains the absence of the previous set X-Spam-* headers. As expected, when I switch this setting to 0, Amavis stops removing Spam headers. If I then send a new post to the list, I can see in the email that drops in my inbox all the Spam headers that were added along the way, and not just those added by the final mail server. Thanks Mark for taking the time to respond. Kind regards Stephen

[MM3-users] Settings for prevention of spam obfuscation

by Richard Rosner

Are there any settings that may help with making it easier seeing spam as spam? E.g. some mail programs, including Outlook, allow the user to set a from mail address that most mail clients will show instead of the true sender address, but the senders mail address is still present in the sender header field. While some people and companies carelessly abuse that functionality, hiding their true mail address, those bad practices also are abused my spammers and others. Does mailman have any settings that would remove any such obfuscations, e.g. in this case detect the manipulated from address and replace it with the sender address? While I do run my own spam filter, it's virtually getting harder every day to make sure you detect all spam while not having too many false positives. If it was possible to reverse at least the most obvious manipulations, that would probably already help. Also, it would make it much easier for the users to see at first glance who actually wrote an email. It's always less trustworthy if the senders address is shown as user3168(a)suspiciousdomain.gg instead of it being manipulated to say support(a)yourprovider.com.

I didn't think so, but I'll certainly buy that.

Alembic is used by Mailman core to migrate changes in Mailman's data models (database schema). It interfaces with SQLAlchemy <https://www.sqlalchemy.org/> which is used by Mailman core to interface with the underlying SQL database. Alembic is used by mailman developers to create migrations when table and column definitions are modified for some reason. It is not used by end users unless they are actually modifying Mailman's code and database schema. Alembic does not do migrations based on a change in the underlying database engine, e.g. SQLite -> PostgreSQL. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Hi Steve, As Jered said, it's probably to do with the `cron` job setting. User `mailman` should have a crontab entry something like this: `@daily /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman digests --periodic` Running `mailman digests -h` seems to indicate that should work if done daily, but if there's a problem (bug?), then maybe an entry with `mailman digests --list $list_name --send` would force the digests to be sent? ``` mailman digests -h -l, --list list Operate on this mailing list. Multiple --list options can be given. The argument can either be a List-ID or a fully qualified list name. Without this option, operate on the digests for all mailing lists. -s, --send Send any collected digests right now, even if the size threshold has not yet been met. ... -v, --verbose Print some additional status. -p, --periodic Send any collected digests for the List only if their digest_send_periodic is set to True. ``` rb

I don't think this would help the issue. What I am seeing here is users signing up through Postorius using the sign up option which then creates an account in Django (but not Mailman). Yesterday alone I had over 700 of these accounts created. I don't know whether they pass email confirmation or not (I don't see this in Django admin), however they don't get added as users in Mailman and they don't attempt to subscribe to any list. >It may be possible to do something automatic, but you need to explain how you know these users are "fake", and it has to be something that can easily be detected with a few lines of Python.

You will need Python 3.5 or newer(preferably, 3.6+, since 3.5 is no longer maintained) in order to install Mailman3.

You need only a Mailman 3 installation. You also need a copy of the Mailman 2 lists/LISTNAME/config.pck file for input to 'mailman import21' and a copy of the Mailman 2 archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox file for input to the Django management hyperkitty_import command.

This kind of thing should be available from your MTA, of course, and I think there was a visceral opposition to keeping track of people's behavior that way from the early days. So those are our excuses. However, it's something that comes up occasionally on the list as well as as a GSoC proposal, and I think there's some code on a branch for this that Abhilash has been threatening to release. And of course HyperKitty now publishes stats on posting behavior. So there's really no reason to oppose it, now it's just a matter of time to implement.

I think it would probably be a really heavy lift, because Mailman internally uses an object-relational manager, SQAlchemy. We occasionally change the schema, and SQAalchemy will automatically upgrade the database schema. You would have to handle that by hand in your code. I would recommend you get the sources for mailmanclient (https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailmanclient, iirc). They're quite repetitive, you wouldn't want to literally port them, but once you're familiar with the scaffolding and a couple of the commands you should be able to write a lot of PHP really fast to cover the REST endpioints you most need in a library with an API to your taste.

Is there a way to do that? You can create Django users via the Django admin interface (typically the ".../admin" sibling to the ".../postorius" and ".../hyperkitty" URLs. It shouldn't be too hard to automate this, but I don't know of such a script. Django channels might be a better place to ask for that. But after that things may get complicated. Are you migrating from an existing list server and want to link the new users to existing lists? I think this can be done as long as you link the appropriate owner addresses to each user. Hopefully those are algorithmically related to the network login (ie, address = username@domain). Also, if by "network login" you mean a SSO protocol such as SAML, you can populate users directly from a service provider such as Shibboleth. There's a well-known protocol called REMOTE_USER that Django participates in. There are a couple of speed bumps you may run into, but it's hard to be specific without more information on your particular situation. Steve

We really don't have hard requirements and a lot depends on what else besides Mailman the server does. First of all, it appears from some reports that 2GB RAM is not enough, but for Mailman 3 alone, 4GB is ample and I suspect that would do for what you describe. For disk, consider mail.python.org This server currently supports 139 Mailman 3 lists. There are a total of over 36,000 known Mailman 3 users. There are archives going back in some cases, decades, with currently a total of over 673,000 archived messages. The Mailman 3 database with all the archived messages and user info is 8.7 GB.

[MM3-users] Template for Password Reset Email

by Mark

Hi, I have a list and user account set with French as the preferred language. Most message emails (such as the Welcome email) all arrive in French, but not the Password Reset email (shown below) - it arrives in English. I'm guessing that there may not be an .mo file for it. I don't see a template for the Password Reset email in the list's administration settings. Is it possible to create a template for it? Something like "list:user:action:reset"? My thinking is, if creating a template is possible, to (a) write it in French for this list; and (b) rewrite it differently as it's confusing some users. Regards, Mark ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: [lists.domain.com] Password Reset Email ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello from lists.domain.com! You are receiving this email because you or someone else has requested a password for your user account. However, we do not have any record of a user with email imark(a)myemail.com in our database.

It is usually best to start with a distinct installation from pip, into a python venv to avoid changing system libs. You can of course seed that install with the current setup first!

You can go to Users -> Non-Members and find the non-members you want to allow posting for and then go into their preferences and set their Moderation Action to "Default processing". > Under "message acceptance" the line "non-members" is set to deny, but if > I set it to "default procesessing" - will it allow ALL email addresses, > or just the group of "non-member" users? Yes, that will allow all non-members to post, which probably isn't what you want from what I gather. You want the default policy to be deny and then set moderation action on each individual non-member. -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)
