Not really. Postorius would have to know the character set of the list's preferred_language in order to filter anything from the template that wasn't a valid character in that character set, and I don't think it has a way to get that information from Mailman core. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

I thought -- coming from Mailman v2 -- that the configuration of acceptable submitters to an email list (e.g. keep everyone moderated?) would be a central and prominent and important configuration issue.

Re: Mass unverified subscriptions end up as pending user confirmation instead.

They were pre-confirmed. > The addresses did not appear in the Django Admin's non-verified addresses list. They were not verified. It is actually pending verification, not confirmation. Postorius can't tell the difference. It only knows that it's waiting for some action either by a moderator (pending approval) or the user (pending confirmation or verification, but just called 'confirmation') This verification is for Mailman core to verify it's a valid address that the user wants to use with this mailman installation. Once this address is verified, it can be subscribed to other lists without further verification. This has nothing to do with Django verified addresses which are addresses associated with Django log-in that have been verified to Django. > Also why does Postorius lists just 'Pending Approval' and 'Pending Confirmation' but not 'Pending Verification'? As I said, it doesn't know the difference between 'Pending Confirmation' and 'Pending Verification'. You should note that the user you subscribed in this way received a 'verification' request like > Email Address Registration Confirmation > > Hello, this is the GNU Mailman server at example.com. > > We have received a registration request for the email address > > user(a)example.org > > Before you can start using GNU Mailman at this site, you must first confirm > that this is your email address.

Also, if any of the addresses had been already verified, they would have been subscribed immediately without confirmation or approval. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Re: List enumeration problem

by Darren Smith

Simon, The thing is that there doesn't appear to be any corresponding entries in the front end logs. There isn't anyone hitting postorius for the lists that are being enumerated. About the three items you mentione: 1) I hope that this can be fixed soon! There are several pages on our mailman instance that we had to write a separate back-end API to query the data, because a single user hitting a single page in postorius was causing a denial of service. 2) What sort of stuff is synced between the front and backends? Any chance you can point me to somewhere in the code where this is happening? We may need to rewrite something to streamline this as well, but it would be nice to know where we need to go poking around. 3) We have some hyperkitty cron jobs set up, but at the moment they have been scaled back somewhat. I do know that when this enumeration is going on our hyperkitty jobs aren't being run. We (I work with Kaleb) are one of those very large Mailman instances you mention, so yep, we're seeing what you're talking about! I think in our case the most likely root cause is your #2 above, so any guidance you can shoot in our direction would be much appreciated.

Re: mailman3 postorius cannot retrieve template

Andreas Barth writes: > Distribution packages have their own up- and downsides. I'm far from absolutist about distro packaging of Mailman, but historically, the downsides have very much outweighed the upsides for most users who come to us on these lists, unfortunately. It took many iterations of Mailman 2 at Debian to get to the point where I was willing to use the Debian packages at all, and for Mailman 3 I've never used them. Even Brian Carpenter's Install Guide avoids Debian's Mailman packages. > Of course, how they are done is to be discussed with the > distribution, so: if something is wrong with a debian package, > please follow the instructions on bugs.debian.org on reporting > bugs. This certainly is the definition of good citizenship. I hope all distribution users will file packaging bugs with their distros, and take it in good humor when we tell them, "works for me, so you should ask <distro> about it." > They have the disadvantage that they're stable for some time If people have been using Mailman 2, they have had a rather better experience for the last few years, though. Since we only fix security issues in Mailman 2, Mailman itself is stable, and to the extent that I pay attention, I think Debian at least has been prompt about tracking Mailman 2 releases. Not so for Mailman 3, though. > If they have all the features someone wants, But this is precisely the problem for Mailman 3. Mailman 3 is not feature-complete compared to Mailman 2, and even two years ago it wasn't close. (Sorry!) Yes, if all you want is a vanilla mail exploder, maybe with a footer added, Mailman 3 is great. But then there's no need to upgrade to Mailman 3 from Mailman 2, and if you're happy being distro-bound, you'll have a better experience with Mailman 2. I'm sure there are quite a few Mailman 3 admins happy with their distro releases from 2 years or 6 months ago. But to someone who comes to us asking for advice, I am definitely going to recommend the Docker containers or a venv or /usr/local installation, because I expect that kind of user to be back for more advice in the future.

Re: Message-Footer after migrating to Mailman3

by christopher.claus＠tgcamberg1848.de

Hi Abhilash, excuse my delay, i was out-of-order in the last weeks. > You want the URL at which Postorius (postorius) is available from Core (mailman-core container). The default for that in the container images is set to http://mailman-web:8000. Does that not work for you? I changed the container-names (but not the hostnames) an probably i set the POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL to the container-name and not to the hostname. > If you want to verify, you want to exec into the Core’s container (docker exec -it mailman-core bash) and see if you can curl the URL from inside there. If you are using the default docker-compose-postorius.yaml then there is a /etc/hosts entry created by docker for the mailman-web container, hence http://mailman-web:8000 works there (but it won’t work on the host, since docker doesn’t modify the host’s /etc/hosts). I modified the compose-file since i have a separate container for a database and i use a seperate network for all my other container. The consequence was, that i do not have a fix subnet. I tried to change all occurences of ip-adresses to hostnames. Therefore i stripped these parts in the compose-file. Currently, there is not entry for mailman-web in the hosts file of mailman-core. I did not find any place in your config and scripts, were this file is written. At which place, this should be done? An interesting point: mailman_core has an entry to itself (with own ip) in /etc/hosts and mailman_web also. I think, this is not correct, isnt it? But nevertheless a curl of the URL from core to web works without error message. > There might also be a bug in play here which would cause such connection refused errors when subscribing/unsubscribing when there was a template configured for the list. Is that the case for you or are you seeing always when trying to send the email (which would imply that the Web container simply isn’t reachable from Core). I thought about the situation, that all my lists where migrated from mailman 2. Many of the have footer- and header-messages, automatic replies which are not shown in the template section of the list. Is a recreation in mailman3 a good option in this situation?
