It's email, there are no guarantees. I hate to say that, but that's
the way it is.
In particular, I'm concerned about the "iRedMail" integration, which
may be a complete wildcard from my point of view. With respect to the
relevant iRedMail components, I can say that Mailman 3 is perfectly
happy with Postfix as MTA (it's the recommended configuration,
although I use Exim4 for historical reasons), and I've been satisfied
with a small-scale set of lists (about 10 active ones, with at most 20
subscribers total) using Apache+mod_swgi to host Postorius and
HyperKitty. The problem would be if your friend (is that the Frank in
the CC? hi, Frank!) really really wants to manage Mailman 3 through
iRedAdmin -- that will get messy I suspect, and pragmatically
speaking, we can't support it, we don't have the cycles. So he'd be
on his own, especially since the iRedMail folks have their own bespoke
mailing list manager. I would recommend avoiding iRedAdmin
integration, and just using Postorius since the subscribers and
non-site-admin moderators (if any) will need to use Postorius anyway.
Ignoring the iRedAdmin issue, the absolute simplest is
1. Install any Linux distribution with a Docker package.
2. Install the distribution's Docker package.
3. Download and install Mailman Project's Mailman 3 container.
4. Upgrade the container manually (ie, download and reinstall) as
appropriate.
For reference, what I would recommend to my friends, who would give me
hands-on access in emergencies:
1. Install the Debian distribution. (What I use.)
2. Pin the Mailman 3 packages to "experimental". The idea would be
to get Mailman 3 upgrades as fast as possible, even at the risk of
packaging issues. (My experience with default-to-experimental
system for several years was that this happened at most once a
year, and the three or four cases all got fixed within days.)
3. Install the Mailman 3 packages.
4. Adjust any dependencies that need non-"stable" versions.
5. Upgrade via apt or whatever occasionally.
6. When Mailman 3 is working well, downgrade the pins to a more
stable level.
Since you do have such a friend, there's probably a similar process
that works for his distribution-of-choice.

I guess we could provide a setting where reply-to goes *only* to
author, instead of to author *and* list as we currently recommend.
But that is going to make you (or list owners) the focus of user ire
because their intended replies to list go only to author. What do you
think?
tl;dr The rest is me blowing off steam. :-)
> The fact that the mangling will continue is a disappointment.
It's a disappointment to the sane people at the IETF, too, including
the rep from Yahoo!, who's a very smart lady (I may be biased, she
gave me a kitten once. ;-) Yahoo! is violating the original concept
(DMARC "p=reject" was supposed to be used *only* for "transactional"
mail, i.e., direct private communication between a business and its
clients), but I see her point: when you've had a hundred million or so
address books hacked and sold to spammers, and the spammers are
sending literally millions of "recommendation from a friend" spams per
hour for days on end, you use the tools to hand.
> I’m inclined to tell all my AOL and Yahoo users and others in the same

I know the feeling. I'm lucky in that respect: the Ministry of
Education prohibits use of yahoo mailboxes at Japanese universities.
(Which is a WTF of a different kind: yahoo.co.jp is a franchise, not
controlled by yahoo.com, and doesn't use p=reject at least at the time
MoE issued that policy.)
Mail is just hard. It was designed for a "friendly network of users",
not for today's rather hostile open Internet, and even if they had
envisioned this in the 70s when the message format and SMTP mail
transmission protocol were designed, the fundamental problem is that
pretty much everyone has a genuine need, even if only occasional, to
receive messages from untrusted and even unknown senders.

If you select “Discard (no notification)” from that dropdown and then
click Discard, the current message will be discarded and future messages
from that sender will be automatically discarded. Is that not what you want?

If you are referring to the `uri` field in the template table this
should work if the `name` is `list:user:notice:welcome` and the
`context` is the list_id of the target list.
> - is there a mailman cli option to update the default template for a single list?
There is no specific cli option. A site admin can address this by
creating a custom template at Mailman's
var/templates/lists/LIST_ID/LC/list:user:notice:welcome.txt where
LIST_ID is the desired lists ID and LC is the preferred language.
The list owner can create a custom list:user:notice:welcome template via
Postorius.

Do you mean GUI? If so, since at least Postorius 1.2.0 there has been a
`Templates` choice in the second level nav in the lists view.

Re: Struggle on upgrading mailman3-web to new version - Not Found: /mailman//
by Eggert Ehmke
This makes it even stranger. Removing the trailing / did not help in my case,
but replacing the mailman3 for mailman in the ProxyPass line did.
Would be really nice to solve this problem at the root.

User account issue after importing data from Mailman 2.x server
by dgoldsmith＠sans.org
We finally migrated from Mailman 2.x to a Mailman 3.x several months ago. We have had some issues with people who are active list members not being able to login with their user creds and when trying to use the 'Forgot Password' link to reset, being told their user account does not exist. They can submit email to the list and get copied on other list traffic.
I just started looking at a user and a list in both the Postorius and Django admin web UIs and found:
- in Postorius:
- list exists, has 20K plus subscribed members and has 3 list owners
- user exists and is subscribed to this list
- in Django:
- in HyperKitty section
- in the Mailing lists page, the list exists, no idea about members BUT it has 147 owners (also the same 147 moderators)
- in the Emails page, there are 149K plus entries
- in the Profiles page, there are 147 entries
- in the Accounts->Email addresses page, there are only 155 entries
- in the AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORIZATION->Users page, there are 147 entries
Should Mailman 3.x have created user accounts for everyone when importing the data from the old server?
To correct the issue on a case by case basis, can I as a server admin do something via the web UI or CLI or do we need to remove the email address from the list and ask the person to create a new account using that address and to resubscribe to the specific list or other?
Thanks,
David Goldsmith

Messages not being archived
by Mark Dale
Hi
I've just installed Mailman 3 using the Debian 11 package.
Mailman-Version: 3.3.3
HyperKitty version 1.3.4
Postorius Version 1.3.4
The first list that I've added is receiving and sending mail okay, however the messages are not being archived.
The logs report a HyperKitty error. I've copy-pasted that in at the end of this email.
I've checked the following:
==============================
/etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg contains:
[archiver.hyperkitty]
class: mailman_hyperkitty.Archiver
enable: yes
configuration: /etc/mailman3/mailman-hyperkitty.cfg
=============================
The list has archiving configured on in Postorius.
- Archive policy: Private archives
- Active archivers: hyperkitty
=============================
/etc/mailman3/mailman-hyperkitty.cfg has:
[general]
base_url: https://lists.mydomain.com/mailman3/archives
#base_url: https://lists.mydomain.com/mailman3/hyperkitty/
api_key: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
=============================
/usr/share/mailman3-web/settings_local.py contains:
ALLOWED_HOSTS = [
"localhost",
'*'
]
MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_KEY = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'
=============================
The headers of the emails received from the list show blanks for Archived-At and List-Archive:
X-Mailman-Version: 3.3.3
Precedence: list
Archived-At: <>
List-Archive: <>
=============================
/var/log/mailman3/mailman.log
The errors in the log contain messages (that I'm clueless about) regarding HyperKitty.
Sep 20 01:05:54 2022 (1293) HyperKitty failure on https://lists.mydomain.com/mailman3/archives/api/mailman/archive
Sep 20 01:05:54 2022 (1293) Exception in the HyperKitty archiver: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

=============================
If anyone can point me in the right direction to get the archive happening, that'd be grand.

I have issue where it does not send emails on to people in the list I create.
by john_warland＠hotmail.com
Hello,
I am quite new to Mailman3 and have been trying to get a working local test setup on a single VM (Centos07)
I have issue where if I send an email to the list. it does not send emails on to the people subscribed to that list.
Note the steps below were put together from memory after a few days of repeatably trying different things so there will be some inaccuracies
I have mailman running on same local box as postfix, postorius and hyperkitty.
I have root as the superuser in Postorius and have tried the following:
In unix shell created new user 'developer'
In unix shell created new user 'tester'
In shell send an email from developer user to tester:
echo 'Hello' | mailx -s 'Hello Subject line' tester(a)sandbox.mytest.com
Confirmed user tester received email in cat /home/tester/Maildir/new/ folder:
Return-Path: <developer(a)cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com>
X-Original-To: tester(a)cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com
Delivered-To: tester(a)cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com
Received: by cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com (Postfix, from userid 1000)
In Postorius web frontend:
Signed up as root
Received confirmation email in /root/Maildir/new/ folder so cut and pasted the Url in the email to activate account.
Created new list called testlist(a)sandbox.mytest.com
Logged out
Signed up as tester
Received confirmation email in /home/tester/Maildir/new/ folder so cut and pasted the Url to activate account.
Subscribed tester to the testlist.
Next in unix shell su as developer and send an email to testlist(a)sandbox.mytest.com
The root user gets the following email
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Subject: Your message to testlist(a)cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com awaits moderator approval

Your mail to 'testlist(a)cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com' with the subject
hello there 2
Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.
The message is being held because:
The message is not from a list member
Either the message will get posted to the list, or you will receive notification of the moderator's decision.
Once I have gone back into Postorius as root and approved the message, root user gets a second email:
Return-Path: <testlist-bounces(a)cloud7.sandbox.mytest.com>

Click on “Domain” in Postorius from the top bar, which should take you to the Domains page.
For your domain (in the “Mail Host” column), see the corresponding “Web Host” column, it should look something like:
lists.mailman3.org (lists.mailman3.org)
(Edit)
SITE_ID = 1
on a new-ish version of Postorius.
If it doesn’t show the right values and instead shows “example.com” for you, click on the “Edit” link, which will take
you to a page that will allow you to edit both the values.
In that page, you can update “Domain name” to whatever your domain is (lists.xxx.xxx) and then “Display Name” can be anything else you want or the domain name itself. Click “Save” and then Click on “View Site” in the top right corner of the page to go back to Postorius.

What is the command to export the archive as a mbox from the DB?
I can't figure out which option it is by looking at 'mailman-web -h'.

I want to go with the above.

Not going with that.

Given that I have a dump of the two DBs (mailman and mailman-web) I just
created one DB and imported them.
I have been able to dump the members into a text file. Now importing is not
a problem.
BTW, how will ' mailman addmembers' treat a file containing:
```
Firstname Lastname <email@address>
Onlyname <email2@address>
```
?

I am also not taking that path.

I have opted for the simple way to do this:
1. Create the site in Django Admin and create/configure the list in
Postorius
2. Add the members from the file dump, with delivery set to regular.
3. Send the members an email informing them that they need to set their
delivery preferences.
I am stuck on the issue of exporting the archives to mbox file as already
stated above.
