Mark Sapiro can speak to this much better than I can, but the packages both on 10 and 11 are outdated and have some components that don't work, or don't work well. Better IMO to uninstall these and install current versions using the venv and web instructions: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-web.html There is some overlap between these docs, but I can verify that this setup worked on Debian 10, and continued to work after upgrading to Debian 11. dn

Hi, I'm currently running a test setup of MM3 using Mark Sapiros approach with two venv. I also adopted his post-upgrade-script for the web part (django). Just some minutes ago I updated the packages of my test setup with pip3 where hyperkitty is now 1.3.0 When runnin the post-upgrade-script I get the following error message: Execution of msgfmt failed: /opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/hyperkitty/locale/nb_NO/LC_MESSAGES/django.po:630: duplicate message definition... /opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/hyperkitty/locale/nb_NO/LC_MESSAGES/django.po:273: ...this is the location of the first definition msgfmt: found 1 fatal error Not sure whether this is an error of MM3 or one of its dependency packages.

This seems to have gotten us out of the immediate issues. But I’m eager to find a better solution that might be more permanent. As you have seen, this is new in 3.3.5. I recognize this is a problem. Previously, attempts to accept the message on the second and subsequent lists would throw an uncaught exception - see https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/914<https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/914> and this was a fix for that. Yeah I’m seriously amazed we’ve not had complaints in the year we’ve been running mailman3 that people have lost emails to multiple lists. Only now that you fixed the exception have people seen missing emails :) Please file an issue for this at https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues<https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues> and I will try to find a better solution. Your approach of munging Message-IDs will create other issues. Consider a post to a list with direct CC to userx. userx replies-all to the message received directly. the In-Reply-To of this reply is the unmunged Message-ID which will affect threading in the archives and other recipient's MUAs. I realize this is preferable to losing the message, but I hope we can do better. Yeah it’s not a great solution but it’s the quickest I could come up with that works “for us”. 99% of our lists are announcement lists only with minimal replies so while this will break some. I’m hoping it will give us enough time to wait out a proper fix. I’ve created a new issue #955 with as much detail as I think you’ll need.

That’s the way it should be done. Those actions may not be exposed yet in Postorius or the CLI, so you might have to do it with a `wishlist` script. -Barry

[MM3-users] Re: Installation Wooes

by Samir Faci

@Marc disregard the direct email I sent you. Okay, so just to clarify both postfix and mailman are running on the same host. In theory, everything should be able to connect to localhost on port 25 to be able to send any emails it needs. 198.199.98.177 resolves is already added to my networks, but I added it explicitly. mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.localdomain, localhost, $mydomain, lists.domain.org, 198.199.98.177 I tried setting the values to the dns name which resolves to the public IP and the 127.0.0.1 and right now I keep on seeing these errors: connect to lists.geekbeacon.org[198.199.98.177]:8024: Connection refused So, I ended up having to tweak my /etc/hosts file a bit as well as ``` smtp_host: lists.domain.org smtp_port: 25 smtp_user: smtp_pass: # Where the LMTP server listens for connections. Use 127.0.0.1 instead of # localhost for Postfix integration, because Postfix only consults DNS # (e.g. not /etc/hosts). lmtp_host: lists.domain.org lmtp_port: 8024 ``` So, now it's finally working but here's a question. Does 8024 need to be publically accessible from the outside?

Hi, Thanks again for your help. When I check the postorius version, it says 1.1.2-3: [509]# apt list | grep postorius python-django-postorius/bionic,now 1.1.2-3 all [installed,automatic] It is on Ubuntu18.04 and has been installed with Ubuntu package Mailman-full.

Yes, this is an outlook thing, but you do have some control. See the FAQ article at <https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.list…> for a more detailed explanation, but the issue is that after any content filtering has been applied, the message is still multipart so Mailman adds the footer as a separate MIME text/plain part at the end of the message. You can avoid this by doing heavy content filtering on the messages. Namely, accept only multipart, text/plain and text/html, collapse alternatives and convert html to plain text. Note that some of this involves updating the list's pass_types which is not exposed in Postorius before 1.3.3 which is not yet released. > 2.

by Mohsen Masoudfar

Hi Mark, Thanks again for the helpful hint. It seems that I still miss something. I am running Mailman3.1.1. I ran the following on my test server. I am trying, for test purpose only, to filter PDF attachments. First I just used the pass_type, assuming once this is set, everything else is filtered. # mailman withlist testlist3(a)x.com >>> m.pass_types = ['multipart', 'message/rfc822', 'text', 'application/pgp-signature'] >>> commit() >>> print(list(m.pass_types)) ['multipart', 'message/rfc822', 'text', 'application/pgp-signature'] This let PDF be send by Mailman3. Well, I need to add filter_types too, so I did this: >>> m.filter_types = ['application/pdf'] >>> commit() >>> print(list(m.filter_types)) ['application/pdf'] Mailman3 still distributes PDF files as attachment. What am I doing wrong?

There are four list settings that affect this. They are pass_types, pass_extensions, filter_types and filter_extensions. the pass_* settings specify message parts the list will accept while the filter_* settings specify message parts the list won't accept. The page at <https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmailman.r…> only discusses filter_types and needs updating for the others. Filtering by extension only works on message parts that have an associated file name. Thus, while you can add things like 'exe', 'bat', 'cmd', 'com', 'pif', 'scr', 'vbs' and 'cpl' to filter_extensions, it won't be completely effective. A better approach is to use MIME types[1] and only allow those you want. For a discussion list, a reasonable set is what this list uses: multipart message/rfc822 text application/pgp-signature This will accept any multipart and message/rfc822 parts for further analysis and ultimately accept only text/* and application/pgp-signature elemental parts. If you want to accept images and pdfs, you can add image application/pdf See <https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.iana.…> for a list of all registered MIME types. Note that these are all of the form main_type/sub_type and putting just main_type in *_types passes or filters all subtypes for that maintype. [1] You can use both, e.g. filter_extensions to remove those you don't want and pass_types to accept the MIME types you do want. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

[MM3-users] Re: only show mail domains from web host on web-host-url

by Jens Günther

Just checked again and saw: - in the setup it works perfectly in Hyperkitty, that's nice - for the first web host I have 2 mail domains registered, so it also matches (unfortunately) with what you said :-( Anyway, I dceleted one of it, still both lists are shown on either web host, so it's generally not working. If I can do something on this issue, please advise me. Thanks. Am 19.03.21 um 17:21 schrieb Mark Sapiro: > FILTER_VHOST is problematic.

[MM3-users] Re: How to identify the exact reason behind the shunting of the mails ?

by Shashikanth Komandoor

Dear Mark, FYI, I observed this issue with the postfix that receives the mails from the previous MTA and hands it over to the mailman. But I fixed at postfix by upgrading it to the version postfix 3. But still Mailman is not able to understand Hindi (Indian local language) in which language the display names of the email ids are there. So, now what to do at Mailman so that it can also understand local languages or any work around or other alternate solutions for these sort of cases.

Based on the symptoms, I'm guessing this means the SMTPUTF8 extension. Mailman is not prepared for this as far as I know. That is, Mailman expects that the headers will be ASCII, possibly MIME-encoded.

Brian, When I was seeing this, new lists weren't showing in HyperKitty. I was migrating from 2.1, so they were all new lists and was preventing HyperKitty from functioning.

It appears that my installation predates the mailman-web package, as I don't have it installed. But if I understand the docs correctly, it serves to take care of the django-admin commands for migration, static files, js/css compression, etc. So I think I don't need to do anything special (like add mailman-web), except a database migration after the upgrades.

I have reread what you wrote now and I'm beginning to get the hang of this method. My observation is that it can only be _obvious_ to someone very familiar with Python config to decipher that *additional* settings *that can be augmented or overridden in /etc/mailman3/settings.py* can be obtained from: /PATH-TO/mailman_web/settings/{base|mailman}.py after they have noticed these two lines in the sample settings given in /etc/mailman3/settings.py: from mailman_web.settings.base import *from mailman_web.settings.mailman import * [At first instance, it is not obvious that mailman_web.settings.base and mailman_web.settings.mailman are actually paths in Python - which magically translates to mailman_web/settings/base.py and mailman_web/settings/mailman.py] Granted, I am a slow learner, and perhaps already so mixed up after reading the myriad HOWTOs for installing MM3 that are available online. I am tempted to say there are many like me who are likely to miss "where to obtain" other settings from. For example, my mind all along has been tuned to having a settings_local.py for overriding the settings.py. However, with this particular documentation, it would appear that everything is intended to just go into /etc/mailman3/settings.py. Is it possible to modify the documentation to somehow make it obvious (in a language that a layman can easily understand, that those two "import *" _DO establish a base set of settings that can be augmented or overridden in /etc/mailman3/settings.py_ and that those settings are in what file(s) ?

by Markus Grandpré

Dear list, dear Mailman3 developers, dear Mark Sapiro, in Postorius under "Mass operations / Mass subscribe" we find the order of the checkboxes confusing: 1. Pre confirm 2. Pre approved 3. Pre Verified 4. Invitation We think it would be easier for us and our mailing list administrators to understand the interaction of these settings if they were displayed in the following order: 1. Pre confirm 2. Pre Verified 3. Pre approved 4. Invitation as in our opinion "Pre confirm" and "Pre Verified" belong together more than "Pre confirm" and "Pre approved". Incidentally, a typing error has crept into the term "Pre Verified". It should read "Pre verified". Yours sincerely, Markus Grandpré -- Markus Grandpré Universität Konstanz Kommunikations-, Informations-, Medienzentrum (KIM) Abteilung IT-Dienste Forschung, Lehre und Infrastruktur, Tel: ++49 7531 88 4342

So, it looks like that Outlook still consider the part (XYZ) as comment during folding even though it is within the double quotes. It is folded between DEF and (XYZ) quite often in our cases if there are four or more than four email addresses in the Cc header. Since we normally have full name in the format of "Firstname Lastname (Dept)" in our organization, we hit the issue quite easily if users send to a list with more than four addresses in the Cc header.

[MM3-users] Re: Postorius upgrade issue

by Joel Lord

So I tried to do this after upgrading, fortunately only from 1 point release back, and I get "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'paintstore'" from the collectstatic. Haven't tried to get past that point, and haven't really had the time to chase this down myself. It seems like that's referring to a requirement from several versions back, but this venv was built clean only 2 months ago so it strikes me as odd.

by Eggert Ehmke

Am Freitag, 22. September 2023, 19:34:41 CEST schrieb Mark Sapiro: > Can you create another superuser with the Django admin createsuperuser > command and does that user's password stick? This got me on the right track. My mailman installation hosts several mailing lists that are assigned to different domains. Somehow I had created a superuser account 'admin' for each domain with different passwords. Because the browser stores the password for each domain separately, each time I log in via a different domain, I got the wrong password. So for now I use the same password for all logins, and that works. But is that a good solution? The other option would be to assign multiple superusers for each domain, but they would still allow to log in via some other domain. Thank you for your help!

[MM3-users] Re: High memory usage

by Philip Colmer

Thank you for the replies from Mark and Stephen. One of the reasons why Prasanth & I are concerned with this specific system is because the first time memory usage crept up, it got to the point where oomkiller stepped in and, as is usual for that particular mechanism, one of the processes it killed was sshd, thus removing access to the system :(. I know that oomkiller can be tuned to stop it killing processes like sshd but it will, nevertheless, start killing *some* processes if it sees an out of memory situation. So, as Prasanth said, we doubled the memory available and stuck an alarm on it to trigger when usage exceeded 85% for 5 minutes. I've saved a screenshot of the monitored memory usage over the last couple of weeks: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Aq7dn8GDGLdCodsU-pybJBdckxWU1A?e=BJY1UA (It is stored on OneDrive in case you don't recognise the URL format) We changed the server on 4th February to the larger memory size. On 11th Feb, it triggered the alarm and we rebooted the server. Memory usage is starting to climb again, albeit not at the pace that it was previously. What is particularly curious for us is that we have four Mailman 3 servers. Two of them are single domain and two are hosting two domains. This server is one of the servers hosting two domains, but it is also the ONLY one of the four servers exhibiting this memory pattern. By comparison, the memory usage for the other server hosting two domains looks like this: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Aq7dn8GDGLdCodsVyEufkeQqit_cGA?e=ifrJHs The biggest difference we are aware of with the "problematic" server is that some of the list archives are quite large by comparison with our other servers. The largest is 15K messages, then 2K then 1K. The other three servers have lists with relatively small archives by comparison (double or triple digits at worst). Finally, and just FYI, we're using PostgreSQL for the database and Xapian for the indexing engine.

by Thomas G

Hi, https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty/blob/master/hyperkitty/lib/incoming.p… I changed "sender" for this; # Sender try: from_str = header_to_unicode(message['From']) from_name, from_email = parseaddr(from_str) from_name = unidecode.unidecode(from_name).strip() except (UnicodeDecodeError, UnicodeEncodeError): raise (ValueError("Non-ascii sender address", message)) try: sender_address = from_email.encode('ascii').decode("ascii").strip() except (UnicodeDecodeError, UnicodeEncodeError): if from_name: sender_address = re.sub("[^a-z0-9]", "", from_name.lower()) if not sender_address: sender_address = "unknown(a)unknown.com" else: sender_address = "unknown(a)unknown.com" print("Non-ascii sender addre -- Sender address replaced by ", sender_address) I got this output (example): |Non-ascii sender address -- Sender address replaced by stephaneblipblopstlablipblopgmailcom It's not really perfect, I'm working to do something better, but basically it's works. I think that there is a issue in the original code: Because : "" raise ValueError("Non-ascii sender address", message) "" The second part will be never call: if not sender_address: if from_name: sender_address = re.sub("[^a-z0-9]", "", from_name.lower()) if not sender_address: sender_address = "unknown" sender_address = "{}(a)example.com".format(sender_address) else: sender_address = "unknown(a)example.com" If you bypass : "" raise ValueError("Non-ascii sender address", message) "", by a simple print(), you will get an error due to an unassigned variable (sender_address).

That message says Mailman delivered the message for 25 recipients to the outgoing MTA. If only one recipient received it, you first need to check the outgoing MTA's logs to see whether the message was delivered to the recipient's mail servers or not. Those logs should indicate that either the message was delivered to each recipient's first hop mail server or not. If not, there should be a reason why in the logs. If the message was delivered, it could have been rejected by an MTA further down stream in which case a DSN message should be returned, but possibly not for days, or it could have been delivered to the user's spam/bulk/junk/promo/whatever folder or silently discarded.

This is a common problem with Chinese and Japanese encodings: junky email clients use "traditional" names denoting encodings with smaller repertoires to denote modern encodings. I wonder if we shouldn't just promote all gb* to gb18030 and all Shift JIS to the most recent version, as in the WHAT-WG web encodings standard.

by Дилян Палаузов

Hello Mark, thanks for your answer. So I had in the past registered that yahoo address withing mailman. Then I added oauth/openid to yahoo, then gave it a try. I have receieved as resut two email in the yahoo mailbox. One is sent by yahoo, notifying about account activity. The other, which I have not overseen as it was evaluated as spam, contains: You are receiving this email because you or someone else tried to signup for an account using email address: zzz(a)yahoo.com However, an account using that email address already exists. In case you have forgotten about this, please use the password forgotten procedure to recover your account: https://…/accounts/password/reset/ So the text "we have sent you an email for verification” but the email stating ”there is already such an account within mailman” is misleading, especially after the first message is shown to an yahoo-authenticated user.

I only have the message I would get as the owner of the list that the delivery has been disabled, I don't have the original bounce message. One thing to note is the bounce messages coming in from Gmail are being generated by Office 365 (as that is the outbound smarthost for the Mailman server), so it may be due to the format of those NDRs why we aren't seeing the original bounce messages attached to the email.

I missed that step at first, but now I've done it, I see no change. It still says version 1.3.13, and the Edit Domain page still just has Description, Alias Domain, and Web Host. When I was installing it, it said it was this commit: Resolved https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius to commit 2c0c3aeb905c82ee4d6724897b89def71c02c1ef which does appear to be the latest.

With just a suggestion that you have a SIGN UP blue button to make things less confusing and not necessitating multiple clicking. This is difficult. See my reply to your first message. You will notice that when you click sign-up in either Postorius or HyperKitty, you go to <https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/accounts/signup/> which is neither Postorius nor HyperKitty but Django. So the current process is click sign-up, go to Django and sign up, then go back to Postorius and subscribe. To do this all in one step, Postorius would need to send you to /accounts/signup/?next=/postorius/lists/discuss.list.tokyoprogressive.org/ which it currently does, but there would need to be extra communication between Django and Postorius so that when Django returned to /postorius/lists/discuss.list.tokyoprogressive.org/, Postorius would know to tell Core to subscribe you. However, this is missing a step, because Django sends you an email requesting you to confirm your address, and you don't actually have an account until you confirm. This dance also renders the next=/postorius/lists/discuss.list.tokyoprogressive.org/ ineffective. Presumably Postorius could tell Core to subscribe you anyway even though you haven't confirmed your account, but Postorius doesn't know what address you signed up with. > The main obstacle I found was I had my list settings as NO to "Choose whether to include this list on the list of all lists".

Wouldn't it be possible for Postorius/Hyperkitty, both Django applications, to use Mailman core user model as their User model? It is just a setting for Django (AUTH_USER_MODEL).

No, different membership. No problem, I'm just being lazy about it; I'll just duplicate it and copy the settings over manually. I only have two clones to make so it's really not a big deal.

Ok, you mean after replacing the From address with the list address, right? I can see no way (or sense) to DKIM sign arbitrary From: addresses. This actually works quite good: the recipient just gets 2 DKIM signatures. The original one is broken, the MTA-generated one (after writing my list address into From) is OK. This is good enough even for ProtonMail (no red warning). What about this list (mailman-users). It looks this one also has From address replacement + conditional DMARC mitigation.

I cannot send *any* emails to a gmail address. So it is the first "Welcome to the list" email.

This is because of the domain change. In settings(_local).py you have a setting for SITE_ID. Possibly, setting that in settings_local.py to a value one greater that the current setting will do. To be certain of the correct value, you need to look at the django_site table in mailman's database. That table has 3 columns, id, domain and name.

[MM3-users] Mailman 3 Installation Packaging

by ddw David Wilson

Salutations; I understand that work is in progress to provide a convenient installation tool to facilitate getting the suite of requisite programs installed and working harmoniously with a minimum of hassle? I assume that involves some combination of containers and/or virtual environments to insulate and isolate issues and facilitate portability. In addition, it would entail Mailman 3, Hyperkitty, Posterius and also Django, etc. The database selection of PostgreSQL or other. Other optionals to be configured would be the email utilities such as Postfix, etc Personally, my server of choice would run Centos. I gather Mark Sapiro was working on this as well? *Is there sufficient progress to warrant believing that such a capability might exist in the 2016 August - September time frame as was suggested some time back? Or are there any revised time-frames? Or an approximate estimated road-map?* Best regards. Dave Wilson

That's just weird. I guess the test is expressed "len(recipients) < maximum_recipients"? It would be easy to change "<" to "<=", but "backward compatibility" (and yes, it would be an annoying and mysterious change if you're using max_recips = 2 to enforce "no CCs" and after an upgrade CCs started sending annoying dupes to your subscribers). I wonder if it would be worth having an explicit backward compatibility setting so that we could change these things going forward. Steve

I understand that's what we currently do. But I think that when the MUA provides an empty plain text part and a non-null HTML part, that's a mark of lazy MUA developers, not author intent. I think that it's very likely that the author would prefer the reader get converted HTML rather than a blank. Of course if the list owner wants to inhibit conversion, that's fine. But I would expect that list owners who enable conversion would also want to present a converted alternate rather than the blank plain text. Steve

If it's any consolation, I practiced with test VMs about 4 or 5 times before attempting a production migration from Mailman 2.

For that reason, things got much better when I snapshotted a brand-new Debian 11 VM and rolled back to there each time.

Mark, You were 100% right for fixing. I was not sure what the language setting were on list creating, but one of the lists was created a day ago and I was doubt about it a little. So I made test: I have checked that default language is lt, and then I created the new list for testing. I had language issues with the HTML as well. Your recipe helped to resolve the issue. :) I fixed all my lists. I have stopped the mailman (just in case), than executed as You had told: $ mailman shell -l test(a)example.com Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell The variable 'm' is the test(a)example.com mailing list >>> m.preferred_language <Language [en] English (USA)> >>> m.preferred_language = 'lt' >>> <Ctrl>+D Thank You very much.

Postfix was not happy with the default email for the admin (<root@localhost>) since I had an operational virtual map for users. That connection error disappeared when I added a functioning admin email address. There are other issues, however. (1) Mailman refuses to resolve to a preferred subdomain. If the server's domain is "website.tld", I'd like mailman's homepage to be at "list.website.tld". Mailman insists that I add "website.tld" to the ALLOWED HOSTS, whereas "lists.website.tld" is already there as an ALLOWED HOST (same VPS/IP address nonetheless). The result is that the homepage ends up at "https://website.tld/mailman3/lists" when the desired url is "https://lists.website.tld/mailman3/lists". This is a conflict because the main domain is intended for another service. How do I approach this?

Thanks for your reply. I'm aware by this list that some people had problems using mysql in upgrades from previous releases. That was my first thought... But it seems that the problem is not database related. As far as I can see is about some missing properties in the "REST" process from 3.3.2 to 3.3.3 or maybe some template is not well upgraded even I did a "migrate" command.

Thanks very much for the recipe. I had been trying (and failing) to do something similar using the mailmanclient API / rest client. Does anyone happen to have a working example of updating user preferences via mailmanclient? I did call save(), after setting preferences['delivery_status']='enabled', but that seemed to not be enough. If no-one has a working example I can try to reconstruct a more precise reproducer. d P.S.

[MM3-users] KeyError: 'get_requests_count' after an upgrade

by Guillermo Hernandez (Oldno7)

I've just upgrade mailman 3 installation following Mr. Sapiro advice: did a pip install --upgrade django-mailman3 hyperkitty mailman mailmanclient mailman-hyperkitty postorius I did a "python3 manage.py migrate" after, too. And all seemed to run well. All the lists showed in postorius via web, but when I try to accesss into one of them the browser shows an error. In the log you can see: *-*-*-*-*-*-* Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/base.py", line 119, in __getattr__ return self._get(name) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/base.py", line 86, in _get raise KeyError(key) KeyError: 'get_requests_count' ... (And after all the traceback lines) AttributeError: 'MailingList' object has no attribute 'get_requests_count' *-*-*-*-*-*-*-* The lists seem to be distributing messeages well.. but I cannot acces via web administration (django/postorius) Can anyone point me in the right direction to solve this, please?

Besides Mark's suggestions, technically, PGP-signed and S/MIME are two different protocols. If you try to verify one with software expecting the other, it will fail. This seems unlikely (there would be reports of direct mail failing verification), but if Mark's suggestions don't help, you could verify that all the users are on the same page as to what signature protocols are being used.

Hi Mark, Thanks. But that is not the problem. It's hyperkitty background processes that show the error in the logs. I was probably not clear in my statement of the problem. I was testing it by typing in URL's. Sorry! I solved it by searching these archives. There was a post in January regarding the same issue, and the solution turned out to be replacing the given api keys with new ones, and all it all just works. Why that should be is a mystery to me, but now at least two people have found this. I would have thought a key is just a key.

Okay. I'll have an eye on the problem and see whether I can make out any pattern on messages not appearing. I'm not (yet?) seeing the other symptoms described in #151, but our mailinglists are usually rather quiet until some burst of discussion arises. There have not been any newer posts than the linked ones yet. The mails all went out properly via email. It's a problem related to Hyperkitty thus.

The largest site I know of that has begun migration to Mailman 3, and has a non-trivial (dozens, maybe?) number of lists in operation is python.org. You can try searching the archives for this list and in mailman-developers(a)python.org for python.org and mailman3.org postmaster Mark Sapiro's opinions on the matter. I think the EMWD hosting site is also in process of migrating. I know there are several others (specifically a couple of academic institutions) basically at the very beginning of their migrations, but I don't know any in the later stages. Steve

Because those aren't the settings that matter for this. What if anything are your settings in the mailman.cfg [webservice] section for hostname: port: admin_user: admin_pass: use_https: (defaults in our distribution are localhost, 8001, restadmin, restpass and no respectively - I don't know if Debian changes these). These need to match the Django settings MAILMAN_REST_API_URL = 'http://localhost:8001' MAILMAN_REST_API_USER = 'restadmin' MAILMAN_REST_API_PASS = 'restpass' I also saw a recommendation, that it can cause problems, when the API key uses symbols like / so I switched it to _ in all three places, but that didn't help.

by Stephen J. Turnbull

Mark Sapiro writes: > This apparently confuses the Python email package so that the > get_payload() method returns a list of strings rather than a list of > message objects. Yes, I got that far too. I'm guessing that in the absence of a Content-Type, which then *should* default to text/plain, the email package goes ahead and detects the MIME headers anyway (although I don't think it should do that) and breaks the message into MIME parts. I would think we'd raise an Exception here. If there's a reason for the email package to do that detection (*shrug*, it seems to work), then the dispatching in _handle_text should be done on the Python type rather than the MIME Content-Type. I forget exactly how the code is structured, the relevant dispatching may be in _dispatch or in _dispatch_meth. Steve
