[MM3-users] HyperKitty: discussions not updating, misreporting stats

by Cameron Smith

These are a couple of HyperKitty issues that I have talked about in August [1]. I’ve been doing a bit more experimentation in the last few days and am reporting my findings. The two issues are: — Missing messages: HyperKitty doesn’t show all of the messages in a discussion - Misreporting of discussion statistics: HyperKitty doesn’t update the number of participants and comments in a discussion I’m using the latest Docker setup. Neither of these issues are solved by updating or rebuilding indexes: sudo docker exec mailman-web ./manage.py update_index sudo docker exec mailman-web ./manage.py rebuild_index However, if I stop and then restart the containers (sudo docker-compose down; sudo docker-compose up -d), the discussion statistics are updated and properly display the number of participants and comments in all discussions. This does not, however, solve the problem of missing messages. I have discovered two methods of displaying the missing discussion messages: add a new message to the thread in HyperKitty; I’m not convinced that this works *every* time, but it at least works *most* times run the yearly cron job; this seems to work *every* time: sudo docker exec mailman-web ./manage.py runjobs yearly [1]: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… Cameron Smith

You can't trigger a digest to an individual member (unless they're the only active digest subscriber to the list, of course, so you can experiment on a test list if it's not specific to a particular list). I thought there was a way to trigger immediate distribution of a digest immediately, but I guess I'm remembering that from Mailman 2. Neither the Postorius management interface nor the core documentation suggests there's such a trigger in Mailman 3. > > 2) I have customized list:member:digest:header, but am not seeing > the custom text where I thought it should be. The documentation > seems to imply that both list:member:digest:header and > list:member:digest:footer surround each message in the digest Which documentation do you mean? As far as I know (Mark will have authoritative information if I'm wrong), the digest header and footer appear at the top and bottom of the *whole* digest message (ie, once each per digest), not surrounding or in the bodies of the component messages.

[MM3-users] after upgrade: OperationalError: no such column: hyperkitty_mailinglist.archive_rendering_mode

Dear All, recently I did a system os upgrade debian 11.8 -> 12.4 / bullseye -> bookworm This did also upgrade Mailman3 version 3.3.3 -> 3.3.8 as a used the packages which came with Debian OS. Initially after the upgrade I had some troubles with the MM3 services to start, but I fixed this. Now almost everything is running. Only the Archives are not working.

Or is there a way the check all tables with a script and do an table update for missing columns ? Or a partial installation of hyperkitty, as I don't care about the archives.

[MM3-users] Good MM hosts for customized code?

by Steven Clift

E-Democracy.org is plotting a test move from GroupServer.org (end of life coming) to MM3. We have certain technologies we've embedded into GroupServer, like volume based posting limits on our political forums (no more than X posts in y hours per member ... typically 2 or 3 posts in 24 hours), inserting standard "who made this post" in the email footer with links to the user profile for context assuming email is forwarded as well as the web archive url to that post. We know that we do not want to be in charge of email deliverability and we don't yet have an Mailman aficionado in our volunteer team. So ideally, we'd find the right Mailman host where we can use our own selected domain (@opengroups.org perhaps) and whether we hire coders to help out with custom tech OR have volunteer coders (interested in local online communities? AKA hate that Facebook and NextDoor host most of these, let me know :-) ), we'd like to have the right set up to allow us to experiment. Advice? Thoughts?

Brian is correct. Essentially, you would need to run database queries to get all the relevant data from the database and then add it to the database of the new instance.

by bryan.kartzman＠yu.edu

Thank you Steve for your reply. I have created from scratch in mailman 3 all the lists that were on the old mailman 2 server. So now I would like to pre-populate Django users for all the moderators and owners by creating accounts using their University NET account name and linking them to their University email address (what I used for their owner/moderator address). Unfortunately, its not simple because their NET username is a short, up to 8 character, username whereas their email address is first.last(a)yu.edu. I have access to the university database which correlates both so I will be able to feed both to whatever script will do this. The university does use SSO for many applications and I was asked by upper management of the IT department to try and implement it here. I'm still trying to understand your reply to my SSO question from last week (my SSO knowledge is limited and I'll have to read up on Shibboleth, SAML, as well as Django) so for now I'm thinking to not use SSO so that I can get things started and then transition to SSO later. If you have any pointers as to where to read up on SSO, SAML, Shibboleth and also on Django please point me in the right direction.

[MM3-users] Automatic migration from Mailman 2.1 (Debian buster) to Mailman 3 (Debian bookworm)

by schaefer＠alphanet.ch

Hello, I already have some success in auto-migration from Mailman 2.1 (Debian buster) to Mailman 3 (Debian bookworm), using a new container (not upgrading the existing installation, which is obsolete e.g. 32 bit x86). I am doing this using custom scripts. The idea being to be able to import most of the existing configuration and archives, let the list administrators test the new system, and progressively advertise this to users. Then, the old container will be disabled. The basic stuff works (From: domain is OK, HTTP transport works, mail go out, etc) I however bumped into the following problem: How may I automatically (from the command line) replace the example.com which is displayed in the web interface and in the From: comment field of the e-mails (the address itself is OK) -- I only found documentation about changing through the GUI so far. Any pointer? Also, I have a question: if I import my 2.1 config for each ml, will DKIM work-arounds work (e.g. replace This User <user@domain> by This User user@domain <the-mailing-list>) ? Will Mailman 2.1 it required some config changes and also I had to modify mailman using a Debian diversion, AFAIR. Thank you for any input.

That was from another poster in that thread. We don't set ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_FIELDS = ['email*', 'username*', 'password1*', 'password2*'] in mailman_web/settings/mailman.py because the default is ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_FIELDS = ['username*', 'email', 'password1*', 'password2*'] and that plus ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REQUIRED = True is the same thing.

I haven't seen this because the sites I manage are all using django-allauth 65.4.1 So to avoid the deprecations with django-allauth >= 65.5 it is appropriate to drop ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REQUIRED and set ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_FIELDS = ['email*', 'username*', 'password1*', 'password2*'] However, that setting doesn't exist in django-allauth < 65.5 so we also need to require django-allauth >= 65.5.

Me and 3 of my team mates (who are part of the mailman3 list) should be able to send on the list as well as an "no-reply" user, others on the mailman3 list should only be able to receive the e-mails (and of course be able to unsubscribe themself). Both the: "Default action to take when a non-member posts to thelist" and the "Default action to take when a member posts to the list" is set to "Default processing", and I tried to setup actions in the "Header Filters" - but no really success.. :-( So what I basically try do achieve is to have only the following addresses to be allowed to send announcements (e-mails) on the mailman3 list, and all others that are member of the mailman3 list will just receive the e-mails. The usual "announcements" are sent out as the "no-reply" address (that actually are not really part of the mailman3 list) ;-) no-reply(a)abc.com ("fake address" that actually are not really part of the mailing-list) peter(a)abc.com david(a)abc.com marcus(a)abc.com How to achieve this kind of filter with mailman3?

[MM3-users] Re: Filter who can send on mailman3 list?

by Marcus Granath

It seems like the version used is: Postorius Version 1.1.2 The menus I can see are the following: Info Subscription requests Held messages Members Settings Mass operations Banned addresses Header filters Delete list And from the "Members" I can select "Subscribers", "Moderators", "Owners" - so I can manage to delete "subscribers" and add somebody as Moderator or Owner for my list. But I cannot find anywhere to set or add something like "non-member". What I basically want to achieve is that my "sendmail" script (executed from linux) will send announce-mails to this mailing list - and will set an "pseudo-address" (not my own name and address) as sender of this e-mail, i.e "ABC Announcement <no-reply(a)abc.com>" - and to get this "pseudo-mail" to be one of the accepted users (together with me and some team mates with real addresses) to send on the list - one option I understood was to use the "non-member" user for this "ABC Announcement <no-reply(a)abc.com>". But in my web-interface (as described above), I cannot find where to add and manage such user (non-member). Or can I use some other API (then the web-page) to do that kind of operation? ;-)

I should have said ` mailman shell`, not `mailman-web shell`. Insert "circular problem" here. When I DO NOT have the module loaded in the configuration, `mailman shell` works. Since that was functional, I went into the shell and executed this: > from mailman_customizations.hooks import MailmanCustomizations This worked fine, but obviously importing the class doesn't necessarily *activate* the class. So something is up with how I'm *supposed* to activate the plugin in the config, and we know that it's visible to Mailman in its shell, but it can't autoload it. So, again, not sure where to look next for debugging. Thomas

More strangeness. I've now done a test on one of the production servers I manage, and there is no error. Both the production server and the development server are running the identical Mailman code installed in a venv, they both have the same version of urllib3 and similar Python versions, 3.9.16 on the development server and 3.9.10 on the production server. Both servers are running under Ubuntu 20.04.6. The only other difference I see is on the production server everything runs as user mailman and on the development server everything runs as user mark. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Yes... that's the point where I expurge most of that (discarding completely email from domains that will never send a legitimate email to our lists, and in a few cases entire .XXX areas) to "normal" addresses. But I have to confess that I relayed in the mailman control of subscriptions for that in the lists.

And that's exactly the case of the list where a malicious mail get into: it's a private list with "discard all non subscribers addresses", but there was a legacy address imported from mailman 2 that had permission to send mails (and I was not aware)... and a bastard spammer forged it (well, it was one of many tries with different origin addresses). My fault completely. But this is a unique case in now more than 8 months using mailman3 (and more than 12 years using mailman). Being that list private and non publicily available, I suspect that one subscriber address book has been hijacked, and I can expect some crap from a forged subscriber address. But that is another story... Thanks a lot, again, for all your explanations and good work.

[MM3-users] [Mailman-Users] Listservers currently hosted with EMWD - urgent request for assistance

by Stephen J. Turnbull

Note: Reply-To set to mailman-users(a)mailman3.org. Please check that any replies are addressed to that list, and not mailman-users(a)python.org. Jonathan, FWIW, I haven't heard anything. I have 3 students submitting MS/PhD theses in less than (checks watch) 18 hours, but after that I'll see if I can find out anything. I wouldn't bet on it, though, as I don't think anyone here has a connection to the Carpenter family or whoever is left of the EMWD staff. I assume you have checked the emwd.com website? > We have our listservers hosted with EMWD which stopped working on > 23 December. What does "stopped working" mean? I assume that list traffic is no longer being forwarded to subscribers, but perhaps other services are working. It may help if you can answer the following questions. 1. Are you using the GNU Mailman-supplied Postorius/HyperKitty combination for administration and archiving, or EMWD's proprietary "Harmony" (Affinity/Empathy) platform? 2. Can you see archives (if any)? 3. Can you log in to the administrative interface? 4. Is mail to the lists being returned to sender, or just disappearing into the void? 5. You mention an automated response in a later message. Is that to an email you sent, or from a web-based issue-tracking system? What does it say about the current status of EMWD services, if anything?

I don't think we have accessibility specialists among the developers, although several of us care deeply about it. So I'd like to confirm: the two iterations, one telling you you are on a tab, the other telling you you have a link, is a good thing? Would it be better if you got one notification that there is a tab with a link on it? I don't know if there is anything we can do about that, since our accessibility features come from the Django framework. But I'd like to improve my awareness and knowledge of how these features work for our users in Mailman. Steve

[MM3-users] Re: Set member.moderation_action via REST API as part of message approval?

by Andy Matthews

After reading Mark's comments it seems like a good approach, knowing that a moderator has explicitly chosen to "always accept" a post from a user, would be to first create that user record (including setting the `moderation_action` property to `defer`—as Mark indicates) , before approving their email. That way when the message itself is approved the user record is already included. And then we don't have any need to explicitly update the list's `accept_these_nonmembers` property because we've already set the `moderation_action` on the user. Does that sound like an acceptable approach? And a follow up question: at the moment we don't explicitly create users, we simply subscribe them to a list, and allow the implicit processes to do their magic. However if I wanted to manually create a nonmember, would I "create a user" or would I "subscribe a user to a list" with a role of `nonmember`? Which brings up an additional question. Is the `moderation_action` list-specific or does it apply to all lists from the same domain? To be clear, if abc(a)123.com's `moderation_action` is set to "defer" for **open-list(a)foo.bar** would that setting also apply to **another-open-list(a)foo.bar**?

[MM3-users] How to enable VERP?

by Andy Smith

Hi, I'm a little confused as to how to enable VERP. mailman3 Debian package, version 3.3.3-1, using Exim 4 MTA. In /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg I added: [mailman] … verp_delivery_interval: 1 verp_probes: yes and restarted mailman3.service. The list's "Alter Messages / Personalize" setting is "Individual" (but I tried "Full" as well and saw no difference in VERP behaviour). I can see the MTA is doing an individual delivery for each recipient, and the list's custom footer tells the recipient which address they are subscribed under, so I know that part is working. With VERP enabled I was expecting the Return-Path header in the delivered list mail to include a cookie to identify the individual subscriber, but instead it is "listname-bounces(a)example.com" like always. In mailman.cfg my MTA-related settings are: [mta] incoming: mailman.mta.exim4.LMTP outgoing: mailman.mta.deliver.deliver smtp_host: localhost smtp_port: 25 configuration: python:mailman.config.exim4 And the Exim configuration itself has ther macros, router and transport files from the "Exim" section of here: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-core.html#configuring-mta edited only for correct paths. That's been working for months for delivering list email in and out, but I'm just now trying to enable VERP and it's not happening. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks, Andy

[MM3-users] Change settings via mailman shell

by kk＠eco.cept.org

I am trying to find a way to set some parameters on the lists from a shell script. One specific parameter - max_message_size is not presented through the REST interface apparantly, and i found a way to set this with mailman shell command. Continuing this path i seem not to be able to set any other parameters like this: m.archive_policy = 'never' m.subject_prefix = '' m.dmarc_mitigate_action = 'munge_from' m.dmarc_mitigate_unconditionally = True commit() However i end up with this error: sqlalchemy.exc.StatementError: (builtins.AttributeError) 'str' object has no attribute 'value' [SQL: 'UPDATE mailinglist SET archive_policy=?, dmarc_mitigate_action=?, dmarc_mitigate_unconditionally=?, subject_prefix=? WHERE mailinglist.id = ?'] [parameters: [{'dmarc_mitigate_unconditionally': 'True', 'dmarc_mitigate_action': 'munge_from', 'subject_prefix': '', 'archive_policy': 'never', 'mailinglist_id': 65}]] Not sure what to make of it, but it seems like the fields are not there. I then proceed to get a list of all parameters with information found here: http://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailmanclient/en/latest/src/mailmanclient… and the parameters seems to exist - however this list is made with the REST interface - so my question are - are there a difference in parameters in "mailman shell" command and REST interface - and how do i then get a list of parameter and possible settings in the "mailman shell" command ?

[MM3-users] Current status and issue deleting Archives in Mailman3

by bob B

So just want to make sure I have the latest information after searching this list and googling or have I missed something? It appears there is no way in mailman3 to delete archives. There has been discussion on implementing this, but it has not been developed? is that correct? I saw references to: >>> from hyperkitty.models import MailingList >>> ml = MailingList.objects.get(name="test2(a)freeculture.org") >>> ml.delete() But how do I run this? I believe it is run in mailman-core (I am in a docker environment but that should not matter). I can get into the mailman shell, but that command does not work I did the following: bash-5.0# mailman shell Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell Use commit() to commit changes. Use abort() to discard changes since the last commit. Exit with ctrl+D does an implicit commit() but exit() does not. >>> from hyperkitty.models import MailingList Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'hyperkitty' >>> What am I missing? ************** Question 2 What about pruning archives? I use to run a script for mailman2 to prune archives of messages older than X days for a list, Is that possible in mailman3

The messages are still including a Cc field with the sender's email. Is there another setting that affects the Cc field? The difference between "Explicit Reply-to header set" and "Explicit Reply-to set; no Cc added" only affects lists with Personalize = Full. For those cases, the To: in delivered posts is replaced with the recipient's address which means in some cases, the list's posting address is not exposed so we put it in Cc: unless Reply goes to list is "Explicit Reply-to set; no Cc added". This setting is intended for announce type lists where members normally do not post to the list. If DMARC mitigations are applied and Reply goes to list is anything other than No Munging, the original From: will always be added to Cc:. There is no setting to avoid this.

Respectively, I think you are asking the wrong question here. The real question is why isn't a display_name being removed when a list subscriber is unsubscribed. Also list members being forced into a powerless role by Mailman 3's architecture have no way of changing a name except through a list owner unless they register an account but then again, *even that doesn't allow them to change their display name*. There are also other use cases in which a list owner will want to identify portions of their membership roster through the use of the display_name. Most list members interact with a Mailing list program via email. I know you understand that. However it is List owners that are the "real" power users of Mailman and so the admin interface should be designed in such a way that empowers List owners. Taking the ability away from List owners (and List members to make), what should be a simple name change, weakens them. > And in any case, I'm only one person.

Again I think we are missing something here from this conversation: data is not being removed. A list subscriber being removed (unsubscribed) should have their information totally removed. It is not. I now have one list owner who realizes this and it is not good. How does this not violate GDPR? This is why I think all the mailman developers ought to make this issue a high priority. It is creepy to see a name returned out of nowhere when someone resubscribes to a list without associating a name with a second resubscribing. I think this puts List owners at a disadvantage. > > Mailman 3 is totally different from Mailman 2.1 in this respect. Mailman > 2.1 had no concept of user. All it knew was addresses subscribed to > lists and an address subscribed to one list had no connection to the > same address subscribed to another list or being an owner or moderator > of a list. I think this should still be the case for non-registered list members. List owners/moderators are different. They HAVE to be registered users of Postorius/Affinity in order to manage/moderate a list. I wonder what the majority of list members' scenarios are. Is the majority scenario in play today the one where most list members are only subscribed to a single list on a single mailman instance? Or is it the scenario that is in majority use the one where a single list member is subscribed to multiple lists? I think that it is important to find out because it should govern the development process to a certain degree. This single approach of having registered user account with multiple associated email accounts elevates one scenario at the expense of the other. It also assumes/requires that list members have a registered user account and I can tell you from my experience that is not going to happen. The majority of mailman 2 users will not registered with a Mailman 3 admin interface. Some will of course, the majority will not. Maybe the behavior should and will change but it will take years for that to happen. So what I am challenging and questioning here is the approach where such assumptions are being made already that results in the weakening of list owners. > > Mailman 3 does have a concept of user and addresses belonging to a user. > This complicates things in some ways.

Perhaps there is a better approach here to handle single member w/multiple subscriptions that doesn't hurt the ability of List owners to serve the needs of list members who do not have a registered user account and prevents the removal of data when a SINGLE user unsubscribes from a list. > > You don't seem to be concerned about the case where I subscribe to a > second list with a different display name and am surprised to find my > display name changed on the first list, but it's something that I have > to consider. I am not concerned because I think such cases are in the extreme minority. Are you saying that people are now going to be using different real names associated with their other subscriptions as well and that is going to be so needed it warrants this complex system that you have come up with? If someone whats to have a different name associated with a different subscription/email address then I am going to tell them create a new user account and use a good password management program to keep track of their logins. Right now I think this minority use case scenario is negatively impacting other administrative tasks of Mailman, particularly in the removal of user data when someone unsubscribes from a list. Its the use of a square peg being forced into a round hole. Except in this case most of the holes are round but by golly, we are going to use that square peg regardless! > > As far as filing or not filing an issue, issues in the GitLab trackers > are how we track these things.

Does this mean that even if you were to install Mailman 3 via the FreeBSD package manager (i.e. ports), you’d still want mailman.cfg in /usr/local/etc instead of /etc? That would differ from most Linux distributions where package manager installed packages would have their configuration files in /etc, and where “third party” packages would have them in /usr/local/etc. > I guess that issue is something for the FreeBSD porters of Mailman3… I think so. I think for now I don’t want to support /usr/local/etc/mailman.cfg out of the box, although I’m open to persuasion if there are some more generic use cases. OTOH, the internal function that calculates the search paths could be refactored to make it easy for distributions to carry small deltas to add that as a search path (it really wouldn’t be that hard to do now, but it’s a little icky). Of course, you can’t add a configuration file to find a configuration file. :) Cheers, -Barry

Now the more embarrassing part. The likely culprit is my stupidity. In an attempt to have subscription forms embedded on my static websites, I created this flask app to handle POSTs and subscribe people the the specified lists. https://github.com/nickwynja/fmmss/ I included a menial honeypot feature to handle spam requests, which I thought was working. It must not be but it appeared like it was, likely because I made the honeypot for my app at the same time I changed the subscription policy to 'confirm' and upgraded from Postorius 1.2.3 (when pending user subscriptions were no longer shown).

[MM3-users] How to fix: [Django] ERROR (EXTERNAL IP)

by Jigme Datse

This feels like something that I should have working. I know I've not been attending to things all that well, so the thing that has happened, that's got us from, "possibly doing nothing," to throwing this error is that I went to update my mail server, and in the update, Mailman3 stopped working entirely (it was a variety of things), but now it's launching, and will load the main web interface... but Going to any of the list pages, gives the above Error. Well, not exactly the above error, Django is in square brackets. OK, that will work better for me with the how to fix. How to fix, probably isn't quite what I'm looking for, it's how to diagnose. The error tells me that the IP address is 127.0.0.1 and that 127.0.0.1 is in the ALLOWED_HOSTS. I *mostly* see this coming from Google, but when I go and look at the webpage, I get: normal page at /mailman3/lists/ But my lists, all give me... Something went wrong HTTP error 500: {"title": "500 Internal Server Error"} I've tried to figure out where to go from here, and right now I'm not making any progress, so I thought I'd ask here.

[MM3-users] OS update 18.04 -> 20.04 with Python 3.6 -> 3.8

by Torge Riedel

Hi, just want to report that updating my server's OS from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 including an upgrade from Python 3.6 to 3.8 worked 75% on the mailman3 installation. Stopping and disabling the service before prevented most of the problems, but I forget to disable the cron jobs. **sigh** So whenever you have to upgrade your OS including python, don't forget the cron jobs. After OS upgrade I renamed both "venv" directories and rebuild them from my notes. Worked. Starting up mailman-core was easy. Getting mailman-web back to work was a little tricky: 1. After rebuild I forgot to run the post-update script, overseen that in my notes. **sigh #2** 2. My uwsgi-emperor was totally confused and needed some guidance and manual remove of .sock file 3. Finally I got this in the logs: /opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django_q/conf.py:139: UserWarning: Retry and timeout are misconfigured. Set retry larger than timeout, failure to do so will cause the tasks to be retriggered before completion. Seehttps://django-q.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configure.html#retry for details. warn( I checked the reference file from here: |https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-suite/raw/master/mailman-suite_project/settings.py?inline=false| and it misses the "retry" value. After adding it to Q_CLUSTER everything works fine. Kind regards Torge

I would find it more natural to have "Posting Policy" (which would include posting filters on size and list membership, as well as message alterations such as removing .exe files and enforcing plain text by removing or rendering HTML parts), and "Malware Mitigation", which would include IP, domain, and mailbox filters as well as DMARC. I think DMARC mitigation is probably too special to deserve its own tab. Probably this is way too much reorganization to do at this point, but I'd like to keep this point in mind. We are already getting reports that configuration options are hard to find just because it's different from Mailman 2. I suspect that the REST API is sufficiently flexible and regular that we'll be tempted to proliferate options, so let's try to keep them organized. Steve

[MM3-users] Request for help with configuring "from" headers in mailman3 list

by Stephen Daniel

Mailman3 users -- I am in the process of migrating a set of mailing lists from a very old privately operated server running mailman2 to a VM in Google's cloud (GCP) running mailman3. I have mailman3 up and running in GCP. However, VM's in GCP are not permitted to send emails. To work around this I configured postfix relay SMTP traffic through sendgrid.com. I chose Sendgrid because they offer a free service for low volume users. This works well for emails generated by the mailman3 system. However, it does not work for the list traffic itself. Sendgrid requires that the "From:" address on any email reference an authenticated domain. In the old mailman2 implementation, emails sent by mailman are listed as From: <human name via LISTNAME> LISTNAME(a)LISTDOMAIN.org Reply-to: <human name> sender(a)senderdomain.com (the original email's sender) Sendgrid would be happy with this, because LISTDOMAIN.org is a validated domain. However, in my mailman3 implementation, the From: header lists the original email's sender. Sendgrid rejects this because the original email's sender's address is not one of the validated domains. How do I configure mailman3 to generate headers in the same style as the old mailman2 implementation? Thanks! -- Stephen Daniel

The issue is not related to message content. One possibility is that there is an incompatibility between mailman-hyperkitty >= 1.2.0 and HyperKitty <= 1.3.4. that could cause this. What are your versions? What is your setting in mailman-hyperkitty.cfg for base_url: if you append `api/` to that and do something like curl base_url/api/ it should return a page of documentation of the API. If that is the case, the issue is almost certainly communicating the api key between mailman-hyperkitty and HyperKitty -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

[MM3-users] changeaddress command and nonmembers

by Mike Wertheim

I recently upgraded a Mailman 2 installation (which included a number of email lists) to Mailman 3.3.3. There is one human user who in the past has used two different email addresses. Let's call them oldaddress(a)hotmail.com and newaddress(a)gmail.com. This person used to participate on an email list using oldaddress(a)hotmail.com (both posting and receiving). He then unsubscribed oldaddress(a)hotmail.com from the list and then subscribed to the email list as newaddress(a)gmail.com. All of this happened while using Mailman 2. Now that we're on Mailman 3 and the email list was migrated from MM2 to MM3, we see that newaddress(a)gmail.com is a Member of the list, and we see that oldaddress(a)hotmail.com is a NonMember of the list. That all makes sense. But now, this person has decided that they actually want to go back to using the old address. So I ran the command "mailman changeaddress newaddress(a)gmail.com oldaddress(a)hotmail.com". But that gave me this output: Usage: mailman changeaddress [OPTIONS] OLD_ADDRESS NEW_ADDRESS Try 'mailman changeaddress -h' for help. Error: Address oldaddress(a)hotmail.com already exists; can't change. Can anyone explain how I can do what I'm trying to accomplish? (Also, why is this error displaying the usage message? That seems odd, since the number and type of arguments was correct.)

I have seen "stuck", in a multisite installation where Mailman's smarthost ended up being about 1000 miles from Mailman. I'm not sure what the issue is (we fixed the DNS, not Mailman :-), but every once in the while the connection would hang. In that case nothing showed up in the log. The only symptoms were the buildup in the out queue and a stale connection to port 25 on the smarthost. If your smarthost is not "network far" from the Mailman host, this is quite unlikely from my experience, although Mark may know better. In any case, I think the best way to start diagnosis is to check the Mailman and MTA queues for stuck messages. Of course in normal operation you will often see messages in the queue, but long queues or messages older than a minute are 99% a dead or stuck queue runner. Steve

List subscription without associated user account creation with slightly different case? First, the Django users are separate from Mailman core users and don't have anything directly to do with list subscriptions. As far as how there got to be one User in Django with two EmailAddresses differing only in case, that's probably a bug in Django allauth. The page at accounts/email/ doesn't allow adding an address that differs only in case from an existing address, but possibly adding via a social auth provider bypasses that check. I couldn't find an issue at https://github.com/pennersr/django-allauth/issues but that doesn't mean there isn't one. In case you haven't done it, I think just deleting one of the addresses (the non-primary one) in Django's Email Addresses section will solve your issue. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Redis is not exactly a database, it is used as a message broker. The ORM backend in DjangoQ exists for low performance workloads where you can afford to poll the database that frequently and not have negative affects on rest of your system. It also lets you avoid installing a message broker like Redis. If your system does handle a ton of traffic, then it is recommended to use Redis or similar higher-performant systems. -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

Probably, but I don't think HyperKitty should be in the business of attempting to repair message defects. This one issue of a null byte is arguably not a defective message, but rather an issue of storing a null byte in a database field, so maybe something could be done to `cleanse` that data before storing it. If I were going to look at doing that, I would need an example of a problem message, and ideally, an issue in the tracker. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

IIRC the usual configuration uses the virtual map as a transport file. The transport file format allows only one result, which must be a transport of the form protocol:host:port. I'm surprised that either of those works at all, as both are syntax errors. (Unless possibly 'lmtp:[mailman-core]:24' is being interpreted as a local but undeliverable address? I forget whether colons and square brackets are allowed in local-parts.)

It's not impossible, I think, but it's probably both tricky and ugly. :^) You need one virtual alias mapping'list-bounces(a)lists.domain.info' to 'user(a)gmail.com' and another address (probably with a "fake" domain such as 'bounces.lists.domain.info'), and the latter address gets mapped in a transport to lmtp:[mailman-core]:24. -- GNU Mailman consultant (installation, migration, customization) Sirius Open Source https://www.siriusopensource.com/ Software systems consulting in Europe, North America, and Japan

I would guess it would be under the "Users -> Members -> Member options -> Delivery status", but theses are both (Enabled and disabled) unchecked, not indicating whether or not the member is either or. You are looking at the user's list based preferences. If one of these is unset, it falls back to address based preferences and from there to the user's global preferences.

Couple of questions about the sample nginx configuration given in the venv doc and the Mailman Mailman Suite Documentation v. 3.3 PDF: server { listen 443 ssl default_server; listen [::]:443 ssl default_server; server_name MY_SERVER_NAME; location /static/ { alias /opt/mailman/web/static/; } location / { proxy_pass 127.0.0.1:8000; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; } ssl_certificate /path-to-ssl-certs/cert.pem; ssl_certificate_key /path-to-ssl-certs/privkey.pem; } 1. At least on my system, the proxy_pass statement will only run without errors if I change this to a fully formed URL, e.g., 'proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000'. Is this a typo in the docs? 2. What document root(s) and alias(es) to use for Postorius and Hyperkitty and the Django admin on a server that also runs other services (e.g., Postfix for non-list mail and Roundcubemail)? With MM2, I use location statements with their own root and aliases: location /mailman { root /usr/lib/cgi-bin; fastcgi_split_path_info (^/mailman/[^/]+)(/.*)$; fastcgi_pass unix:///var/run/fcgiwrap.socket; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME \ $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info; } location /images/mailman { alias /var/lib/mailman/icons; } location /icons { alias /var/lib/mailman/icons; } location /pipermail { alias /var/lib/mailman/archives/public; autoindex on; } What is the MM3 equivalent way to do this?

> the fourth paragraph: "Because the REST server has full administrative access, it should never be exposed to the public internet. By default it only listens to connections on localhost. Don’t change this unless you really know what you’re doing." Let's say that you are trying to embed Hyperkitty into a larger Django project that's horizontally deployed in an autoscaling group or K8S. The mailman-core component would be better served from a fixed IP address and a single server. In order for mailman-web to communicate with mailman-core, it needs to listen on a network interface, not localhost. So, you'd like to have a config field, and listen on a reachable interface and then configure the AWS Security Groups or Firewall to limit access. The proposed "listen" field is optional, and in its absence, it defaults to the current behavior, which is localhost. This scenario matches the "really know what you’re doing" case. You'd be facilitating a more advanced architecture, although not requiring it, and still default to localhost. However, again I say "theoretical", because we ran into other difficulties with embedding Hyperkitty in a larger Django project. It seems easier to break that into a bite sized pieces, and only address them one at a time.

Oh, no question about that whatsoever. I'm quite surprised that this facility isn't present yet. (I rarely make mistakes in mass subscribe and the defaults work fine for my subscribers -- or they make their own changes -- so I can't recall ever encountering this need.) I wonder if in Mailman 3 where user profiles exist and are clearly *not* subject to control by *list* admins in the same way that subscriptions are, and in this day of GDPR etc if maybe we need to restrict admin access to various user properties.

You could try a database query like ``` SELECT * FROM hyperkitty_email WHERE LEN(content) >= 3209; ``` If you're lucky, that may just return a few messages and enable you to find the problem one.

Ubuntu 20.04 will be end-of-life, from a standard perspective, in a year. If you possibly can, prefer to install on the latest version which is Ubuntu 24.04.

You need to install all the dependencies and also have /home/mailman3/mailman/src/mailman in your PYTHONPATH.

Then you can just run `mailman info`. I suggest a venv for this to isolate the dependencies from things that might already be installed system wide with differing versions.

The template to be used is determined by the language setting of the user, or the default if the user is anonymous. You have to repeat the process with all of the templates that might be used on your system due to users' language settings. Presumably it *would* have worked for any user whose language setting was "en". But if you do have "de" users, you'll need to replace the "de" template as well. If you mean that you switched your language setting to "en" or have an "en" user, and tested it, we can take a look at it, but as I understand the situation, you have a "fr" setting so you saw the "fr" template.

If all options fail, you can fall back to your MTA logs. 1. Look for a recent post to that list. 2. Head over to the MTA logs. 3. grep for the subject of that recent post from the mainlog or whatever you call it. In Exim we generally call it mainlog (or main.log).

Right now Mailman does not search for /usr/local/etc/mailman.cfg, but that wouldn’t be a difficult change to add. I’m not sure whether that would makes sense as a general default or not. I’m not up on the FreeBSD conventions and standards here; can you explain why /usr/local/etc is preferred over /etc on that distro? I was hoping Abhilash would chime in here, because I think John is using the docker image and there's probably a specific path for mailman.cfg. As far as what goes in it, it could even be empty if you want to accept all the defaults, but you probably want at least [mailman] site_owner: real_person(a)example.com I expect if you do find -name mailman.cfg in your installation, you'll find at least examples. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

I suspect you alread know this, but the backend database schema is entirely implicit in the SQLAlchemy models. There is no function in Mailman to dump out the backend schema, although SQLAlchemy may have one. AAAAaaaannnnddd ... bingo! https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/faq/metadata_schema.html#how-can-i-get-th… Don't know if that does what you need, but it's the best I can come up with without reading tons of code. :-) There's probably a similar function that allows you to dump all the data in an SQLAlchemy-specific format that you can load back in to a different backend and SQLAlchemy will do the schema translation. Also, have you considered that Django keeps an independent set of tables for HyperKitty and/or Postorius? Same comments apply, except that Django has its own ORM. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/django-admin/#dumpdata Finally, don't the backend databases have some sort of "dump schema" command? That might be more useful. Note that I got lucky (yay, Google-fu!) with "DBM dump schema" on the first try so "dump" seems to be the right search term.

How difficult would it be to do? > (is there a link to where this is already explained? ) Mailman 3 users have a _password attribute which isn't actually used for anything. The importer used to set this from the MM 2.1 member's password, but this was dropped by <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/merge_requests/565>. See <https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-developers@python.org/thread/…> for a discussion of this. Also note that since member passwords were stored in plain text in MM 2.1 and periodically emailed, those passwords are inherently not secure and have possibly been exposed so setting that password, even though encrypted in MM 3, is not a good idea. As far as creating a Django user for an imported member, whether or not with the member's MM 2.1 password, it is at least as expensive as just encrypting the password and would result in poor performance. Further, and perhaps more importantly, Mailman 3 is modular. There is no guarantee that any Mailman Core installation into which a MM 2.1 list is imported actually also supports Django users for Postorius and/or HyperKitty. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

[...] There are corresponding configuration options in Mailman and Exim, where you need to make sure that the batch size used by the former is less than the limit set for the latter. In your mailman configuration (we use a mailman-extra.cfg in our deployment to selectively extend the default mailman.cfg) add a `[mta]` section with a `max_recipients: some_integer_value` line. This value needs to be explicitly less than the `smtp_accept_queue_per_connection` global setting in your exim4.conf file. It seems to me that the config option in Exim is poorly named and documented, as I've observed that batches of exactly `smtp_accept_queue_per_connection` result in queued processing rather than immediate delivery, which is why `mta.max_recipients` must be strictly less, not set equal to it. Hope that helps! -- Jeremy Stanley

[MM3-users] Re: Message does not appear in archive

by Paul Arenson

Recently I asked my server administrator (large educational organization with many accounts for various sub groups). I pointed out that it might be a while before MM3 is on CPanel. I showed him the documentation at http://docs.list.org/en/latest/migration.html to show how to go from Mailman 2 to 3 manually. He said he might be willing to give it a whirl. He said he might be willing to make our group (GALE) a test case (we have about 60 people in two not-so-active lists). He asked: "I'd need to look into this a bit more to see what's possible. One issue is whether CPanel updates would overwrite any changes made. If you have any more details about it, let me know. We could try it out on the GALE site if you wanted, but I couldn't guarantee that it would work." I take it he can migrate from MM2 following the directions above in the URL. I guess what he means is, once it becomes available in Channel, would it mean more work to get it to work and to update than if we waited for the CPanel version to debut. Since I don't understand much of the install stuff, he would presumably be doing it. Thanks for anything I could relay to him. Paul

It all depends on how you installed Mailman 3. If you follow the doc at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html, the django management command will be `mailman-web`, but installation in other ways can result in its being `manage.py` or `django-admin` or almost anything. For example, https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/pre-installation-guide.html#what-do-i-n… refers to a typical Django project in which the management command is `manage.py`. https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-web.html is inconsistent in itself in that it uses `mailman-web` in most places except the note about qcluster at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-web.html#running-the-task-queue which also links to http://hyperkitty.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#asynchronous-tasks which uses `django-admin`. I'm thinking that we should put a note about this near the top of https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/ and let it go at that. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

As far as Cc is concerned, if in Header filters you have a rule with 'cc' in the header box and '.*' in the pattern box, the action box action should be applied to any message with a Cc: header. > I've asked EMWD to advise me because I think Affinity is very new, even though Brian Carpenter was developing it in 2020, is that correct? Affinity is not new, but it is a proprietary product of EMWD. If you have set the header filter as above and it is not working, only EMWD can help with that. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

[MM3-users] Re: Trying to configure a list (hosted)

by paul＠arenson.org

I guess my message wasn't clear? Let me try again. I have not made any list settings or sent mails because I do not want my archive filled with a lot of test mails. I am simply trying to understand a) why there are supposed to be two ways to sign up--one where you just get the messages by email and one where you are able to interact with the archives and send from the web interface. Example, as seen here---> https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/postorius/lists/discuss.list.tokyoprogres… 1) I was told that Subscription / Unsubscription lets you truly register and that just below that 2) "You can also subscribe without creating an account" lLets you just receive emails but not interact with the archives.post from the web. CONFUSION --> Aside from the confusing use of "subscribe/subscription for both, when I tried testing both options, BOTH sets of emails ended up in my members list. If there is a guide (I was told it is not ready), it would help, but anyway: 3) Can anyone help me understand the problem above? 4) Will it go away if I enter my settings? Will my users (this who truly register with a password) be able to get the archives and post from the interface? The next post is about the other issue:

[MM3-users] Re: Can't post to my own list from HyperKitty

by megabrutal＠gmail.com

> Is your login a member of the list? It's supposed to be – when I click „Manage subscription” in the very same thread, it reveals that I'm subscribed. This is why I can't subscribe again. Yet I still can't post from HyperKitty, however I can by e-mail. However, when I checked the member list, I also found my address as a „nonmember” (besides being listed as „member” too). I removed myself as „nonmember”, but I still can't post to the list from HyperKitty. It looks like if HyperKitty would try to use a different „token” when I try to post to the list than the one it shows when I manage my subscription. > How did you add that email?

Yes, that's right, but I see the very same addresses listed twice, when in reality I only posted with 2 different addresses (of which the second is an entirely different account that by the way can post through HyperKitty).

Whether it's the REST API, the Mailman shell or the Admin API, I personally don't care. The only important thing is that we can set and use this role.

I **think** you may have something like location /static/ { alias /opt/mailman/web/static/; } in nginx on cloudflare, but since cloudflare is not the Mailman server, /opt/mailman/web/static/ doesn't exist there. I can't be sure on how to configure this without knowing the details of how requests get from cloudflare to mm3-lists.kictanet.or.ke and from there to the wsgi server. However, if cloudflare just proxies the request for /static/ to the Mailman server and nginx on that server has the above `location` directive, that may do it. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

The display_name did change, but the mailing list still displaying the old name. By "the mailing list still displaying the old name" do you mean the membership list in Postorius or something else? And to what REST endpoint did you post the display_name? The bottom line is a user can have multiple display names. Each user has a User record with a display_name attribute, one or more 'addresses', one of which is it's preferred_address. Each one of the addresses is an Address record with it's own email address and display_name. Now, a member of a list can be either a User or an Address. If it's a User, its display_name is that of the user and it's email address is that of the preferred_address, but if it's an Address, its email and display_name are those of the Address. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Instantiating the list via ``` from mailman.model.mailinglist import MailingList mlist = MailingList('listname(a)listdomain.org') ``` for some reason (that's the half I don't understand) does not get the actual list object so changes you make to it don't affect the actual list. In `mailman shell` you need to do ``` mlist = getUtility(IListManager).get('listname(a)listdomain.org') ``` `getUtility` and `IListManager` are in the namespace in `mailman shell`, but outside of that, e.g. just in `python` in your virtualenv, you also need ``` from mailman.interfaces.listmanager import IListManager from zope.component import getUtility ``` -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

In addition both Individual and Full personalization allow personalized information in message headers and footers, see https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/rest/docs/….

We could do that, but then we'd have to support it. I'm thinking of situations like admin A populates the field, then leaves the organization, and we add (some of) the supported features, and admin B wants to migrate that. I don't see any good coming of that for us.

[MM3-users] leaving Sympa for MM3

by rance.hall＠esu10.org

Our shop is an educational shop and left mailman many years ago for Sympa because of features in Sympa not in mailman. Currently Sympa is showing its age, and is relying on perl modules that have been EOL's and the Sympa community has not discussed (within in ear-shot of me at least) what to do about it. We found that we are not using the extra features Sympa provides anymore and with MM3 already dockerized it seems that MM3 is a much better fit for our organization for the foreseeable future. So I got a dockerized setup up and running in a test environment and am pleased with the results except for now I have to start thinking about migration from Sympa to MM3. The API is useful in this effort as there are python wrappers already done and I didn't have any trouble scripting list creation with the API tools to migrate list owners, moderators and users. Now for the question/hard part. Migrating list archives. In Sympa the list archive is just a maildir format directory structure reflecting month/year. In MM3 the Archive is stored in the db with attributes that are likely only available as the message is processed. I'd really rather not loose the archive data if I can help it. Does anyone have any thoughts on how I could perhaps import this?

I don't understand what you mean here. In MM 2.1 a member had only one setting - moderated yes or no and if moderated there was a list setting for the moderation action. There was also a list setting for whether new members were moderated by default. How were you setting the new member's moderation when subscribing? You are correct that when subscribing a new member, the member gets the default action for members and different action has to be set in a separate operation. I don't think this is significantly different from MM 2.1.

Hi Mark, Thanks for your great help. But despite decades of UNIX experience, my area is not Django (yet). The nub of my question is that I thought you have to have a manage.py file for Django to be able to set up the various affairs, such as making the database migrations and so on. It is that that is eluding me. Apologies for this hopelessly newbie question. I was impressed with your method of installation in the page referenced, and I have foolwed that closely. But I am puzzled about the build script. If I run as user mailman, not root, it wanted to install under /usr. which of course results in permission denied. I had to modify the script to say this: python setup.py install --prefix /opt/mailman/mm/venv I am concerned that I have also misunderstood something here.

What are you expecting to see in Postorius? All you can see is if a member's delivery status is Disabled by Bounces. Things like Bounce score are not available in Postorius. What notices are sent depends on the settings in the Bounce Processing section in Postorius. For example, if your message logged by postfix was spam to the <company-newsletter-bounces(a)lists.company.tld> address that is not recognized as a DSN and `Forward unrecognized bounces` is Discard, the message will be silently discarded. Also, if that message was a non-fatal, message-delayed type of DSN, it will be ignored. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

I have several email addresses there and I don't know what do with them, if anything. Non-members are email addresses that are not members but have some connection to a list. Mailman 2.1 lists have attributes named accept_these_nonmembers, hold_these_nonmembers, reject_these_nonmembers and discard_these_nonmembers. These are lists of non-member addresses and regexps matching addresses, and posts from a non-member address in one of the lists will be accepted, held, rejected or discarded respectively. Mailman 3 does this differently. An address can be a non-member and that non-member record has a moderation setting to determine how a post from that non-member is handled. An address can become a non-member by being imported from Mailman 2.1 or by posting to the list. If a non-member posts to the list, a non-member record is created regardless of the disposition of the post.

I’ll weigh in here. In my case, I moved an almost 20 year old MM2 installation to MM3 primarily to get archiving that actually worked well.

[MM3-users] Mailman Core 3.3.1 release

by Abhilash Raj

Hey Everyone, I am pleased to announce Mailman Core 3.3.1 is now out. This release includes support for bounce processing, which had been lacking in Mailman 3 until now. So, after upgrading to this release, you will notice bounce related notifications from Mailman 3 being sent out to list owners if the list has bounce processing enabled (which, most list do by default). Postorius changes for new bounce processing options are coming out soon, I would like the current head to bake in a little longer since it went through bootstrap 4 upgrade recently. Expect it to be out in about a month. If your users would really care about bounce processing being enabled and not being able to tune threshold and notification parameters in the web interface, you might want to wait for Postorius's next release before upgrading. It also exposes all the remaining attributes of MailingList via REST API, so Postorius can expose them in the Web Interface. This should finally make all attributes of a MailingList manageable via Web Interface, without having to access command line interface. There has also been a whole lot of bug fixes. A full list of changes can be found at: https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/NEWS.html#id1 The release is available via PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/mailman/3.3.1/ To install this release via pip, you can run: $ pip install --upgrade mailman -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

by Duane Raymond

Thanks - here is where that got ne so far... I have set the modest goal of changing a string on the list subscription page from the form label "Your name (optional)" to "Your name (and organisation)" What I did was 1) I edited /opt/mailman/mm/settings.py and changed the LANGUAGE_CODE from 'en-us' to 'en-gb' (or should I do it at /opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/falcon/bench/dj/dj/settings.py or another location?) 2) Then I switched user using "su mailman" and started the venv environment (using: source /opt/mailman/mm/venv/bin/activate) 3) I edit the po file at /opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/postorius/locale/ and specifically I am testing it on editing en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/django.po - is this the correct location? 4) I run: mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/falcon/bench/dj/manage.py compilemessages - is this the correct one to run? After this, nothing changed on the list page yet. 5) After that I changed directory into "/opt/mailman/mm/static" and run python ./mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/falcon/bench/dj/manage.py collectstatic - but this produces an error about ROOT_STATIC not being set ...and I didn't want to fiddle too much in case I overwrote the current functioning site ;-) Is the collectstatic static necessary after running compilemessages? Am I using the right files to run it? Am I editing them in the right location? Cheers, Duane

[MM3-users] Cross-List and Domain based sender whitelisting ( accept_these_nonmembers )

by Patrick Brückner

Hi everyone, one of our servers that was running a mailman2 instance just crashed this afternoon, so we decided to take the leap and migrate to 3, and I have to say it worked pretty well, the lists seem to be back. What I can't seem to find is the option to whitelist senders based on a domain AND on membership on a different list. The lists are operated for a smallish university and all the professors need to be allowed to send to the students list, without being member of that list. That was possible with mailman2 by just whitelisting the university domain. Also, in the past we allowed all members of the all-students list to post to any of the dorm-lists (this is mainly used for party announcements so it is not a must have), but I wanted to ask anyways, if there was a chance to allow this feature again. According to the docs, the accept_these_nonmembers option exists (https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/rest/docs/…) but none of my lists have that set after the migration - the field is not even there when accessing the REST API. Do I need to enable something? Has that feature been added just recently, and we are missing out (since we are using the apt packages from ubuntu)? Thanks in advance, Patrick

[MM3-users] Problems after update to mailman 3.3.7

by Guillermo Hernandez (Oldno7)

I've getting the most strange behaviour after update to last releases. In one of my mailman3 servers, the messages doesnt reach for some lists (the five last ones) the update have not showed any error but in the var/data for the lmtp and vmap postfix files mailman does not create aliases for that last 5 lists. Any message addressed to them is returned with a "no such user" error. If I create a new list the system or restart mailman runners it shows this error: Generating MTA alias maps /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pymysql/connections.py:799: UserWarning: Previous unbuffered result was left incomplete warnings.warn("Previous unbuffered result was left incomplete") I did a CHECK TABLE on mailinglists table but all seems ok. I tried reinstalling PyMySQL, but has no effect. (well, I tried reinstalling all) It seems to me that something is preventing creation of that aliases, an then the that last five lists are unreachable. I have no clue of what to do now and I'm driving crazy. Some direction to look for will be much apreciated. Thanks in advance. P.S.: I can access via postorius/hyperkitty to the archives of the lists that are unreacheable. -- ___________________________________________ Mailman's content filtering has removed the following MIME parts from this message.

I don't understand what you mean by "mailman subject line" and "regular Subject:". Are you talking about a digest that contains multiple messages? If so, explain more completely what you mean by those terms. It would help a lot if you would forward to us a complete raw message that shows the problem.

[MM3-users] Re: postfix malformed address with confirm replies

by Stephen J. Turnbull

Hi Stephen, Mark says that matsmats-mm3-test1-confirm+d6f77a2572ef55a8b2c4ca0d77de8493fbb55856(a)mm3.aca-aws.s.uw.edu is legal, and I think that most servers will accept it, but RFC 5321 sets a limit of 64 octets on mailboxes[1], and your confirmation mailbox is 67 octets. (There are also limits on domain length and total address length.) Note that although the '+' has a special meaning to the final recipient, and it will be delivered to the mailbox "matsmats-mm3-test1-confirm", which is only 26 octets, intermediate MTAs don't know anything about this convention, they just see the 67-octet mailbox. I suspect that in a modern server it should be possible to configure a larger value. What is the host with IP 172.19.199.2, do you know? Is it under your control? Footnotes: [1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321 4.5.3.1. Size Limits and Minimums There are several objects that have required minimum/maximum sizes. Every implementation MUST be able to receive objects of at least these sizes. Objects larger than these sizes SHOULD be avoided when possible. However, some Internet mail constructs such as encoded X.400 addresses (RFC 2156 [35]) will often require larger objects. Clients MAY attempt to transmit these, but MUST be prepared for a server to reject them if they cannot be handled by it. 4.5.3.1.1. Local-part The maximum total length of a user name or other local-part is 64 octets.

I'm sorry, I thought I had replied, but clearly I hadn't. So as I understand it, you have multiple lists in this Mailman 3 installation, and only one list has this issue, and mail to this list gets archived, but not delivered but is queued in var/queue/out and remains there. This is hard to understand. When Mailman's out runner processes its queue, it processes messages in chronological order without regard to which list they are from, so it must be at least attempting to deliver these messages, and somehow failing and requeueing them. I do see this Jun 09 17:36:31 2020 (82) Cannot connect to SMTP server postfix on port 25 in the log excerpt you posted. What's in Mailman's smtp.log and the postfix mail.log that might be related to this? It's hard to understand how an MTA connect issue could affect only one list. If it is accepting the connict and then dropping the connection for too many invalid RCPT addresses, that's a possibility. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

The version bump and the assert suggest to me that they've made significant changes.

I started off without using venvs and ran into several issues, though one of them I think was due to the bundler pulling down an outdated dependency. My next stab at this was going to be using venvs, but creating the venv as the directory /opt/mailman which gives cleaner paths (to my mind anyway), but haven't got round to doing it yet. My main thing when looking at this is how package managers are likely to package Mailman3, especially from a Debian point of view. I know I can't second guess what is going to be done, but would like to try to build using similar goals if possible. Thanks. Andrew.

[MM3-users] Installation Help on Ubuntu 18

by joseverde＠gmail.com

Hi folks, I spent many hours last night trying to get Mailman 3 up and running. I am using Ubuntu on a Digital Ocean LAMP droplet (so PHP, Apache, Sql, and Postfix are already installed). The LAMP stack works as I have a successful installation of YOURLS going on. So, I tried to use this guide (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xIcSsoNFp2nHi7r4eQys00s9a0k2sHhu1V5Plan…) to install the Mailman3 package and got to the configuration screen (the one with all the DOS-esque GUI). I ran it but it kept saying the DB wasn't installed. Was I supposed to create SQL databases and users before running that and use those usernames/databases in the credentials it asks for? It doesn't seem like that in the way it asks the questions (since it asks to create a password) but I wasn't sure. Anywho, I tried to remove the package completely and restart but I keep spinning my wheels. So my questions: 1. Does that guide actually work? Did I just foul up the database part? 2. Is there a better way to install mailman3 with some nice step-by-step directions to follow? 3. Is there a way to completely wipe my previous installs without wiping the server? ( I didn't back up...silly I know ). I used apt-get --purge remove to uninstall mailman3 and mailman to start over, did that do the trick? Sorry for all the questions.

[MM3-users] Default Setting for 'Results per Page' and other Web Pull-downs

by Dave Hall

Hello. For the past several months I've been in the process of migrating from Mailman2 to Mailman3 (along with many other tasks). I've just started to use the web interface heavily as I am finally doing the full migration of all my 2.1 lists. Before I ask my question, I am currently running Debian 10 which supplies mailman-3.2.1 and mailman-web 0+20180916, which are definitely old at this point. Although I will soon move to Debian 11, I am still constrained to stick to Debian packages. So if this has been fixed or enhanced in a future version I'm sorry for asking an old question. My question: when I go to any page that has a list (of lists, of members, or archives), there are pulldowns like 'Results per page' that seem to reset to the minimum number when I refresh the page. There are others like 'Hide inactive' on the Archives page. What I'm looking for is a per-user way to customize these values so I don't have to keep on setting them to the value I prefer. If that is available in a later release then I have something to look forward to. If not, it sure would be nice to have. Thanks. -Dave -- Dave Hall Binghamton University kdhall(a)binghamton.edu

Hi there, We actually found that if you look for "*" it will find exclusively messages from the other list, from the first looks of it.

Other lists on the same server show the correct messages when you search for "*", I wonder what went bad with this list. It originally came from a mailman2 server and was imported from that. Thanks!

Typo :( Page in Postorius is what I meant to say. > I was thinking > about this kind of problem, and tentatively came to the conclusion > that any reference to something that can be resolved to a User should > generate a Django account for that User in Postorius or HyperKitty. Is that necessarily required? Every user in Django has a corresponding user in Core, but the converse isn’t true and I am not sure if that is even required. The purpose of a Django account is to manage my own email addresses and subscriptions. An admin can manage a Core User that does or doesn’t have a Django account. The only thing that changes is what they can do with that user. See below for my thoughts on the actions an admin would be able to perform. The high level design of that user management page is that it will provide a list of Users straight from Core. When you go to an individual User’s management page, You will be able to see: - Does the user have a Django account? - All Subscriptions for the User - All addresses of the User You will be able to perform following actions: - Add or remove a user’s address - Verify or un-verify an address - Set any address as primary for the user - Update display name of the user - Update address on any of the subscriptions If the User has a Django account, you also be able to: - Manage the User’s password *if* they are using password for login and not social auth. - Reset “social login” for the user? - View some of the RO info about the Django User model, like last login, superuser status or few other attributes that we feel is useful for admin in any situation. What I am on fence about: - Provide a full blown preferences menu to the admin for that user. This will also make the UI extremely complex to see and implement. > Authorization to use that account would still require authentication > via the usual email verification dance, or some level of admin > privilege. > > The thing is that emails that have not been added to a User are > unique.

In Core, when a new address (email1) comes in, a Mailman User(user1) is created for it. But, when you have an account in Django with a different email (email2) and a different Mailman user (user2) and you add a second email (email1) to your account and are able to prove ownership by verifying the address, Django will ask Core to add that second address (email1) to your Mailman user (user2) and absorb “user1”. This process is already implemented. However, if two Django accounts are created for “user1” and “user2” then situation becomes more tricky and currently we don’t have a way to resolve that short of delete one of the accounts and add the addresses to other account. > What's missing here is the ability to merge core Users and their > corresponding Django accounts.

[MM3-users] Re: Upgrade Mailmam Core from

by sascha.rissel＠gmail.com

Hi all, as Mark suggested, I delete the venv and started anew, making sure that I do > sudo su mailman before creating the venv again. Executing > pip install wheel mailman psycopg2-binary\<2.9 led to the same error message as in my post https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message… saying > error: invalid command 'bdist_wheel' six times, namely for: > ERROR: Failed building wheel for mailman > ERROR: Failed building wheel for authheaders > ERROR: Failed building wheel for authres > ERROR: Failed building wheel for lazr.config > ERROR: Failed building wheel for dkimpy > ERROR: Failed building wheel for lazr.delegates After this, I deleted the venv again and startet anew, again. But this time, I explicitly did (as Stephen suggested above) > pip install wheel prior to > pip install wheel mailman psycopg2-binary\<2.9 This time, it ran through without errors, although "wheel" is also contained in the latter command. Can you explain that? Second question: There is still no directory "/etc/mailman3" created, where I can create mailman.cfg in. Does this maybe result from the fact that in first instance, I tried to install mailman3-full via "apt-get install" and removed it again via "apt-get remove"; with manually deleting /etc/mailman3 afterwards. Shall I create /etc/mailman3 manually and adding "mailman" system user permissions? In advance, thanks again for your help!

On 4/22/25 1:35 PM, sun zi via Mailman-users wrote: > As mentioned in the subject, I am getting the following error after every post. Any assistance would be much appreciated: The error is from an attempt to archive a message. Since it fails, the problem message is queued in Mailman's var/archives/hyperkitty/spool/ directory and is retried with each post. The message is in a Python pickle, *.pck, file in that directory. Yoy can examine the message by giving it to `mailman qfile`. From the tracebacks you posted, it appears that the issue is that the sender's address is longer than 255 bytes. Move the .pck file out of the var/archives/hyperkitty/spool/ directory and that will stop the recurring error. If the message is spam you can ignore it. If you want to archive it you need to edit the message's sender, but you can't edit the *.pck directly. You can use `mailman shell` and do something like ``` import pickle with open('path/to/the/pickle', 'rb') as fp: msg = pickle.load(fp) # code here to edit the sender with open('path/to/the/pickle', 'wb') as fp: msg = pickle.dump(msg, fp) ``` -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

How big is the archive in which you are doing this? Are you running the periodic django-admin jobs via cron? See https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty/-/blob/master/example_project/crontab I ask because I've now seen this issue in a test installation, but only with an archive containing only one message. The particular steps I followed somewhat by accident were: Start with an archive containing only two messages in separate threads. Open one thread and `Delete this thread` leaving only one thread. Open that thread and click `Reattach this thread` - this produces the error. Restore the deleted message/thread with `hyperkitty_import` Clicking `Reattach this thread` in either thread produces the error. After running the hourly and daily django-admin jobs, clicking `Reattach this thread` in either thread works as expected. That scenario with deleting and restoring a thread was somewhat accidental, but did produce the error. in other list archives on the same server, even one containing only one message, clicking `Reattach this thread` in either thread works as expected. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

[MM3-users] more about spanish translations

by Guillermo Hernandez (Oldno7)

I've just made a test creating a user in postorius to change an address that already has a suscription (from mailman 2.1). It's a test address with the digest enabled to be aware from any problem in the digest sending messages (e.g. I had to change all digest addresses to mime whe I did the migration from 2.1) The fact is that I cannot find from which template or Weblate term chains it could be from, and the address confirmation email is a language mix in spanish and english. I copy it down. I would like to translate it all, but as said, I cannot find where to do it. I wonder if it's comes from another package as allauth or something like this.

[MM3-users] Re: Displaying addresses in emails from a Mailman 3 installation

by Steve Brown

Yes, I intended to post to the list. I now see that if I use the archives to post (as I'm doing now), I have to use "reply all". On my Outlook, it's the other way around. If I want to reply off-list, I have to click on reply all and then remove the list address. Sorry. I only use the Gmail address for a few limited purposes. I did set First Strip to a hard no. I' m going to have to think more about the unconditional DMARC. Given what you said, I may well cause more grief than I alleviate. Our list (lists.radg.us) has only about 60 members, but with a lot of different email configurations. Gmail, Yahoo/AOL, Hotmail and similar, academic .edu domains, corporate domains, email offered by ISPs, and personal domains like yours. I use two .us domains, one registered and hosted by TMD and one by Hostinger, because they were relatively cheap. I don't see any apple iCloud, but maybe that's because they use a domain alias. Many if not most of the subscribers to RADG are not very IT savvy, so I suspect that using the archive for search or posting would also seem like a PITA. But I may suggest it after he cools down. Thanks again for the help. Steve B
