Post-installation documentation?

by Stephen J. Turnbull

"Get a list working" depends on what you mean by "working". The basic answer is 1. Install Mailman 3 suite. 2. Log in to Postorius as an admin user and create the list. After that, it's case-specific. > - why do the venv docs and admin FAQ give different nginx configs for > the reverse proxy? Because the FAQ is providing a short snippet to solve a specific problem, the venv docs provide what I guess is somebody's full working config. Setting up a Mailman server is complex; usually any example you see in the docs is somebody's "works for me" configuration. > - Does the 'Secret_Hyperkitty_API_Key' need to go anywhere else besides > /opt/mailman/mm/mailman-hyperkitty.cfg? It needs to match MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_KEY in HyperKitty's settings.py. There are a couple of reasonable ways to organize HyperKitty and Postorius configs, I'm not sure where the appropriate settings.py would be on your server. > - For Django (presumably in /etc/mailman3/settings.py, but the docs > don't say), what values to use with Postfix to set up the email back end? The answer is "that depends on your mail environment". As far as I know, normally it just works with the default settings, but if your Postfix requires secure, you need to set that up: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/settings/#std:setting-EMAIL_USE_T… and possibly the following 3 or 4 variables if authentication is needed. There was a thread on this a couple of weeks ago.

It certainly could. Right now you can do effectively `mailman digests —send —bump` through the REST API, so if you wanted to leave the periodicity to Postorius, that would work right now. If we added the —periodic option to the CLI, then we should also add it to the REST API. The one thing is that —periodic and —send should be mutually exclusive for both. I’ve updated the issue with those comments. Cheers, -Barry

Customizing Postorios web templates

by Stefan Bethke

Hi, I have two list servers that I would like customize the web pages for, specifically I need to add some legal information to the footer, and I might want to apply some light branding to the site. I can't find any hints on how to do that, maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? If Postorious does not currently allow that outright, it seems I would need to fork mailman/postorious, replace templates like https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/blob/master/src/postorius/templates/…, and build the package myself. Is this assessment correct? If so, would there be interest in adding a feature to define some blocks that can be overridden more easily, especially during deployment and without having to build custom Python packages?

Help with Configuring Mailman3 for Multiple Mailing Lists on a Single Server

by peterrflores＠hotmail.com

Hello Everyone, I’m currently working on setting up Mailman3 on a server to manage several different mailing lists for a project. I’ve successfully installed Mailman3 and Postorius, and I can create and manage individual mailing lists through the Postorius web interface. However, I’ve encountered a couple of challenges that I need assistance with: Multiple List Management: I’m trying to configure Mailman3 to handle multiple lists for different projects. While individual lists seem to work fine, I’m unsure about best practices for managing multiple lists on a single server. Specifically, how can I ensure each list has its own distinct set of configurations (e.g., moderation settings, privacy settings, and membership options), but still manage them efficiently from the same instance of Postorius? Integrating with External Services: We plan on integrating Mailman with a few external services for better automation, including a CRM system and a custom registration platform. Does Mailman3 provide APIs or any documentation that can help with integrating mailing list functionality into other applications? If anyone has experience with these types of integrations, any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated. I checked this: https://lists.mailman3.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.mailman3.org/ https://www.igmguru.com/machine-learning-ai/generative-ai-training https://lists.mailman3.org/mailman3/lists/test2.mailman3.org/ Security and User Privacy: Since we’ll be dealing with sensitive data from subscribers, what security measures should we consider to ensure the privacy and safety of the mailing list subscribers? Any suggestions regarding encryption, access control, or secure email practices within the Mailman ecosystem would be helpful. I’d greatly appreciate any insights or advice the community can offer. Thanks in advance for your time!

This is how things work. See for example https://mail.python.org/mailman3/?all-lists - each of those lists has its own settings. There are also `unadvertised` lists on that server, e.g. https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/capi-sig.python.org/ > Integrating with External Services: We plan on integrating Mailman with a few external services for better automation, including a CRM system and a custom registration platform. Does Mailman3 provide APIs or any documentation that can help with integrating mailing list functionality into other applications? If anyone has experience with these types of integrations, any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated. Mailman core provides a REST API for list management. See https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/rest/docs/… - this interface is only protected by a user name and password, so it is normally only available via `localhost` as wider access is not very secure. Postorius uses this API via the python bindings described at https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailmanclient/en/latest/ > Security and User Privacy: Since we’ll be dealing with sensitive data from subscribers, what security measures should we consider to ensure the privacy and safety of the mailing list subscribers? Any suggestions regarding encryption, access control, or secure email practices within the Mailman ecosystem would be helpful. A list can be anonymous id desired which means the sender of a post is not identified in any headers of the distributed email. HyperKitty archives can be private, i.e. accessible only to list members. The membership list can be restricted to only list owners/moderators or available to list members as well via list settings. There is currently no support for encrypted email. Full access to a list's settings and other info via Postorius is limited to logged in users who are either a `superuser` or an owner of the list. moderators have more limited access, list members may be allowed to see the membership. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Re: Help needed to create filters that were working in Mailman 2.

by Mark London

Mark - I'm an idiot. I previously had modified some of the text in Postorius to be shorter, and somehow had deleted the Accept feature! I hope not to ever have to upgrade our email server ever again. It took much years off my life. In any event, here's one of the text that I modified to be briefer. Perhaps you can see why I shortened it. Besides which, who goes on vacation these days, and disables emails from any source? I have users that literally have tens of thousands of unread email. They don't bother to delete it. Grrr... - Mark help_text=_( 'Set this option to Enabled to receive messages posted to this ' 'mailing list. Set it to Disabled if you want to stay subscribed, ' "but don't want mail delivered to you for a while (e.g. you're " "going on vacation). If you disable mail delivery, don't forget " 'to re-enable it when you come back; it will not be automatically ' 're-enabled.'
