As far as `dump_json` is not an available module goes, the docs reference a lot of helper functions that are described at <https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/build/lib/mailman/docs/documentati…>. These need to be imported. I.e., for dump_json ``` from mailman.testing.documentation import dump_json ``` But, if you are just trying to set an alias_domain for the domain and you have Postorius, you can do that via Postorius. If not Postorius you can use `mailman shell`, For example ``` $ mailman shell Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell >>> dm = getUtility(IDomainManager) >>> d = dm.get('example.com') >>> d.alias_domain = 'x.example.com' >>> ``` Then you need to do `mailman aliases` to create/update the maps. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Re: Splitting hosts: mta&core vs postorius

by samuel.d.darwin＠gmail.com

To add some context, we had intended to split up mailman-core and mailman-web on separate machines. With such a configuration mailman-core should definitely listen on the public IP or 0.0.0.0. At the same time, this configuration is a standard way to provision servers "in general": /etc/hosts: 127.0.1.1 server1.example.com server1 There are multiple articles about the topic if you google "127.0.1.1". This technique allows a server's name to always be resolvable locally, it's always correct and doesn't need to be updated if the external IP address changes, it is robust to complexities about NAT or proxies. This allows an application on server to resolve its own hostname consistently. At the same time, a remote client would use traditional DNS, discover an IP (not "127.0.1.1"), and connect to the server remotely. Otherwise, every time the server's IP changes, you need take the extra step of modifying /etc/hosts. With server automation you'd need to discover the correct IP first. So, adding a "listen" or "bind_to" field is a "bug report/request for enhancement". It would be helpful in allowing mailman-core and mailman-web to run on separate machines. However our latest plan as of this moment is to revert back to a one-server implementation. mailman-core and mailman-web will be on the same machine. Thus, the enhancement is not critical. It still seems "theoretically" useful to implement the fix, unless the documentation states "it is recommended that core and web should be on the same machine" or similar.

This sounds like a result of you running `pip3 install sass`, probably with sudo which failed mid-way due to the exception you posted above. Which OS are you using? On debian/ubuntu, you can install: sudo apt install sassc I am not exactly sure how it got removed during your upgrade to the new version of Mailman since it shouldn't affect your system packages. Did you install Mailman initially using system packages or instructions provided at [1]?

If you mean the core REST API, you won't find any useful examples on the Internet. Anything you do find should be considered a form of self-harm and/or an insider threat. Access to the REST API is not securely authenticated, and therefore should never be exposed to the Internet. This API is expected to be contained either to localhost, or to a subnet behind a firewall that prohibits access to that port except from the host(s) serving HyperKitty and/or Postorius. If that's what you're trying to do, I would suggest a secure tunnel (not a generic VPN, but a specific tunnel to the API port). If you're talking about the Django administrative API to Postorius, you'll probably get a better answer faster from Django channels. Mark may know but he won't be available until mid-September most likely. As I wrote earlier, as far as I know you need to access the Postorius port, provide credentials, get the CSRF token, and then access Django. Regards, Steve

I don't know what mailman-web version 4.2.21 is. Is this some downstream package? These are nonmembers whose moderation action is accept or defer. If your Postorius is >= 1.3.6, and the number of nonmembers is manageable you can just view the nonmembers list in Postorius and see their moderation action. Otherwise a `mailman shell` interaction like ``` $ mailman shell -l list.example.com 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. The variable 'm' is the list.example.com mailing list >>> for nm in m.nonmembers.members: ... if nm.moderation_action in (Action.accept, Action.defer): ... print(f'{nm} {nm.moderation_action}') ... >>> ``` will print those nonmembers with Action.accept or Action.defer. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

You can use sqlite, but if you don't already have a mysql/mariadb database on the server, we recommend postgresql for performance and robustness. I personally have had issues with mysql and use postgresql on one production server that uses mysql for other applications. > I think I can follow the instructions to set up postfix. > > In the section 'Configure Web Frontend', it discusses setting up the administrator. As I want to put Mailman on /srv/mailman I can create that, but what should the owner/permissions be? Later the docs discuss editing Django's settings.py. Where do I find that file? I'll note here that my experience with python is quite limited and my knowledge of Django is nil. There should be a 'mailman' user that is the user under which you run things. Don't run things as root. sudo chown -R mailman:mailman /srv/mailman For settings.py and some others, see <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-suite/-/tree/master/mailman-suite_project>. The end of settings.py imports from settings_local so you put your local overrides in settings_local.py in the same directory as settings.py > Later in the section 'Set up HyperKitty', it sends me to a page that discusses installing it. I did that with pip3. Then it says to 'Setup your django project'. What django project is that. Postorius and HyperKitty. See settings.py. These files, settings.py and settings_local.py need to be in a directory that also includes an empty __init__.py so python can import from it and this directory needs to be in the path that Django runs with. This is a shell script I use to run django. It uses a virtualenv, but that isn't necessary. Also my stuff is in /opt/mailman/mm/, but it could just as well be /srv/mailman. #!/bin/bash . /opt/mailman/mm/venv/bin/activate cd /opt/mailman/mm export PYTHONPATH=/opt/mailman/mm export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings django-admin $@ > I would appreciate advice or a pointer to where I can figure this out.

I am just wondering if Core's API should do this (probably not by default, but with a bool parameter that P can use every time), or should we iterate over all addresses and PATCH the display names in them (would be slower, with multiple API requests). I am leaning towards the first option.

Held messages: Long time waiating for response of the Mailman API

by Stephan Krinetzki

Hello, We are using Mailman 3.3.5 with Hyperkitty 1.3.5. Mailman 3 is installed in a venv and deployed using Apache and uwsgi. This works quite well so far, only withheld messages cause us a problem: If we try to approve them via Postorius, the message is delivered to the list immediately, but the success message in Postorius takes a long time - on average the process hangs for three minutes until the message is no longer displayed. We have already adjusted the timeout in gunicorn.cfg, but this does not improve the situation. Are there any tips on how we can speed up the REST API? Or is it even a configuration error? Greetings Stephan
