This is https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/issues/563 it was fixed by https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/merge_requests/930 which was later extended by https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/merge_requests/945 however these are not available until Postorius 1.3.14 which is not yet released. These add a setting, POSTORIUS_DEFAULTS, which can be used to set these defaults. E.g., setting POSTORIUS_DEFAULTS = {'mass_subscription_pre_verify': True} will set the default for Pre Verified to True. So far, the only defaults that can be set in this manner are mass_subscription_pre_confirm, mass_subscription_pre_approve, mass_subscription_pre_verify and mass_subscription_invite and those not until Postorius 1.3.14, but more may be added. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

In most cases, Mailman will make transformations to the message which will break any incoming DKIM signature, but you still want to DKIM sign your outgoing mail with your own domain's DKIM signature. This will not in itself allow list messages to pass DMARC which is why Mailman has DMARC mitigations, but it will still provide a valid DKIM signature from you which will help with deliverability. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

We are pleased to announce the release of Mailman core 3.3.7.

Finally, the minimum Python version required is 3.7 although, 3.9 is recommended if you are doing a new install for longest support. 3.10 is supported for Django apps, but Mailman Core is missing that due to one of the core dependencies (aiosmtpd) not supporting 3.10 yet. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

In particular if outgoing runner is processing a message and has already delivered one or more chunks to the MTA, a restart will cause outgoing runner to stop and upon restart, deliver to the entire recipient list resulting in duplicates for those recipients already sent to the MTA. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

From the point of view of Mailman Core, anyone who can run the 'mailman' command or access the REST API can create domains and lists. Postorius could support this in some way and could maintain it's own 'authorized users' data, but it would be better to also add some concept of domain admin to core.

It's only that one and whether it's needed or not depends on list configuration. The list has attributes digest_send_periodic and digest_size_threshold. When a post is received it is added to the list's digest mbox, and if that causes the size of the mbox to reach digest_size_threshold K bytes, a digest is sent. Additionally, if digest_send_periodic is true, a digest is sent periodically whether or not it has reached digest_size_threshold. However, the sending of periodic digests depends on cron running something periodically to actually trigger the sending. Note: I've just looked at the code and there seems to be an issue with using 'mailman digests --send' to send the periodic digests. It appears that if a list's digest mbox has any messages, 'mailman digests --send' will send a digest even if digest_send_periodic is false. I've just reported <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/384> for this issue. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Mail apparently disassociates the header information from the text body so I can only see it in the Today's Topics summary, while GMail does not and offers it in both locations. One thing you can try is have your Yahoo users subscribe to the plain text rather than the MIME digest. Generally, at least with good MUAs, MIME is preferred because it preserves non-text parts and allows replying to an individual message as opposed to the digest, but clearly Yahoo is not one of those MUAs and Yahoo users will probably find plain text digests preferable. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

I have just upgraded the lists.mailman3.org Mailman 3 installation to the heads of the GitLab mailman* branches. A major change is the switch from Persona to Django Allauth. This requires some configuration which isn't yet complete. Hopefully it will all be working very soon. In the mean time if you want to log in to Hyperkitty/Postorius you should be able to log in with your email address. The first time you do this, Mailman probably won't even know your password so you'll have to request a reset. Once you have reset your password, you should be able to log in. I hope to have several social auth choices working very soon. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

The only difference between the announce style and the discussion style is that for the former, the list's allow_list_posts setting is False and for the latter it's True, and currently the only thing that controls is the content of the List-Post: header which is `<mailto:list@example.com>` for discussion lists and `NO` for announce lists. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

I don't know if this would meet your requirement or not, but the Summary section of the list information page is built in part from list settings. The first line is the list's `description` and the next part is the lists `information`. The `information` can contain HTML so you could include a logo there. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

For what it's worth, mail.python.org has 188 Mailman 3 lists and 85852 rows in the address table, and handling a message waiting moderation takes only a second or two. Thus, whatever the scaling issue is, it's likely related to the number of lists as opposed to the number of list members. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Do I need for every mailing list more as the mailing list email address? How does your MTA deliver to Mailman? If you are using one of the Postfix or Exim configurations described at <https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/mta.h…>, things should work, but in any case, for every list you need to deliver all of the following to Mailman: LISTNAME(a)example.com LISTNAME-bounces(a)example.com LISTNAME-confirm(a)example.com LISTNAME-join(a)example.com LISTNAME-leave(a)example.com LISTNAME-owner(a)example.com LISTNAME-request(a)example.com LISTNAME-subscribe(a)example.com LISTNAME-unsubscribe(a)example.com -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Have you tried the base URL that you use to access HyperKitty from your web browser?, E.g., for this list 'https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/' Also, it should be a URL you can get from a shell on the server with curl. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

With your older HyperKitty and mailman-hyperkitty the MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_KEY was sent from mailman-hyperkitty to HyperKitty as a query fragment (key=...) in the URL. The changes in HyperKitty 1.3.5 and mailman-hyperkitty 1.2.0 send it in an Authorization HTTP header instead, so before, it didn't matter if the Authorization HTTP header was dropped, now it does. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
