(I'm happy to write that > as merge request if useful, but I assume that should be done rather by > opening a bug report and using gitlabs features and not inline per > mail) Yes, the ideal workflow is to open an issue on GitLab and then open a merge request to fix it. However, I don't think we need a sample crontab as we have <https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-core.html#configuring-cron-jobs> which should be enough. I think the real solution is to just remove the mailman/cron directory and at least some of the mailman/port_me/ files. The cron/crontab.in.in file is just a distraction. For the port_me files, we have: checkdbs.py - this function is handled by `mailman notify` disabled.py - handled by core's bounce processing show_config.py - handled by `mailman conf` and these for which no MM 3 equivalent exists and which could be helpful in implementing a corresponding `mailman` subcommand: config_list.py export.py find_member.py -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Nothing in HyperKitty should affect Mail delivery from the list. The symptom you see could result in a file in Mailman's mailman/templates/lists/<THIS.LISTS.ID>/<LC>/ directory not being readable by the Mailman user. Check ownership and permissions on everything in var/templates/ See the latter part of the thread at https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… Note that if this is the issue, something other than hyperkitty_import did it. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

They HAVE to be registered users > of Postorius/Affinity in order to manage/moderate a list. Here's a thought. For Affinity/Empathy at least, how about using Mailman core's user as the Affinity registered user. I.e., if someone's first interaction is to register with Affinity, have that registration create a core user to keep the Affinity registration data. This core user already accommodates a display_name and password and email address(es). If the person already is a core user when registering for Affinity, just update the core user as needed, probably only a password reset or just setting it if it is currently None. Then you don't have the issue of another, separate registration for Affinity. This would be more difficult for Postorius/Hyperkitty because those users are Django users, but that isn't an issue for Affinity. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

I was looking at this myself the other day, and I hadn't finished my analysis, but it appears the only autoresponder that is actually implemented is autorespond requests.

This should resolve itself eventually if you are running the Django periodic jobs, but to fix it you can manually run your_django_admin_command runjob recent_threads_cache which is a daily job which refreshes the recent threads cache. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

For example, on this list $domain is `mailman3.org`, but the base URL for Postorius is `https://lists.mailman3.org/mailman3` and `https://mailman3.org/mailman3` doesn't work. There is no replacement for the web domain if it's different from the email domain for the same reason that there are no web URLs in the default templates. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

The templating system and templates have been changed. In the mean time, you can make a custom version of the welcome.txt template for the site, domain or list. See mailman/templates/en/welcome.txt for the default template. A custom template can be put in var/templates/site/en/welcome.txt or var/templates/domains/example.com/en/welcome.txt or var/templates/lists/listname.example.com/en/welcome.txt where var is Mailman's configured var_dir. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
