Re: Pck files stuck in out queue

by Lieuallen, Thomas Otis

Mark, I checked the database; nothing there. Note that there are only 3x entries and only one is list:member:regular:header (my test), so just nothing of interest. The URL works and produces the proper template information. I finally did a find/grep in the mailman tree and found a match for this errant string. It is under the cache folder. This corresponds to the cache_dir value. I could wipe the file out, but what is the proper way of doing so and should they be cleaned out via a schedule? These don’t appear to be web related, as far as I can tell.

With my test list, I created a template for ‘list:member:regular:header’. It just has text in it, keeping it simple. I create it and see the entries in the database tables and they are correct. However, when I send a test email, my template text is not inserted, but instead another simple text: “testing hello”. I do the same with list:member:regular:footer, and it works just fine. It is just the header that is working incorrectly. When I remove that postorius header template for the list, that ‘testing hello’ goes away. So, it’s only appearing when I have a postorius template setup for that list. What do you get from the following database queries? SELECT * FROM template WHERE name = 'list:member:regular:header'; SELECT * FROM postorius_emailtemplate WHERE name = 'list:member:regular:header'; Depending on your installation, these tables may be in separate databases, i.e., template table in mailman db and postorius_emailtemplate in mailmanweb db. And what do you get if you go to the uri in the result(s) from the first query? The context in the first results and maybe the second results should also be a clue. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Re: List description as sender

by Henrik Rasmussen

It is the description in the Settings -> List Identity -> Description that is used in the list overview https://list.example.com/postorius/lists/ and also as the "From:" in the mails sent to the subscribers. I try to keep the descriptions as short as possible, and I don't consider "Newsletter to the members of the Anthropology Society" a long message, when displayed in https://list.example.com/postorius/lists/, but when the description is displayed as From: in mails, I agree it is a long description. On lists.mailman3.org, the description "General list for Mailman 3 users and others interested in Mailman 3" is also short, but when used as From: it is fairly long. -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- From: Mailman-users is an infrequent newsletter sent to list administrators <mailman-users(a)lists.example.com> Sent: 14. september 2018 13:20 To: mailman-users(a)lists.example.com Subject: Test 201809141319 [cid:image001.png@01D44E6C.A57045A0] -- Henrik Rasmussen <her(a)adm.ku.dk<mailto:her@adm.ku.dk>> University of Copenhagen, Danmark -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> Sendt: 14. september 2018 17:36 Til: mailman-users(a)mailman3.org Emne: [MM3-users] Re: List description as sender On 09/14/2018 05:35 AM, Henrik Rasmussen wrote: > When receiving a mail from Mailman 3, the From: User name is the description of the list, like From: Long desription of the list for all members of certain project <project(a)lists.example.com<mailto:project@lists.example.com>>. > > Starting to get old, I recall something about a discussion we once had on http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/, but I don't recall the reason for this and I can't find the discussion, so it might be something I dreamed.

In any case, the list description is described in Postorius as "This description is used when the mailing list is listed with other mailing lists, or in headers, and so forth. It should be as succinct as you can get it, while still identifying what the list is."

more about spanish translations

by Guillermo Hernandez (Oldno7)

I've just made a test creating a user in postorius to change an address that already has a suscription (from mailman 2.1). It's a test address with the digest enabled to be aware from any problem in the digest sending messages (e.g. I had to change all digest addresses to mime whe I did the migration from 2.1) The fact is that I cannot find from which template or Weblate term chains it could be from, and the address confirmation email is a language mix in spanish and english. I copy it down. I would like to translate it all, but as said, I cannot find where to do it. I wonder if it's comes from another package as allauth or something like this.

I wasn't sure if there was some cron-type "sweeper" process I had to wait to auto-run or if I had to manually do something to create an update. I then realized that the sample script had a ' >>> commit ()" ' at the end, which I'd missed. So, I re-entered the script (but it didn't spit out that it deleted anything this time) and got an error when I did the commit. So, I figured the messages HAD been delete and the commit wasn't really necessary. When I went back to the web interface, the number of held messages was at 0 and I no longer get the original error when clicking on "Held messages", so my issue is solved. But this does leave me with some educational questions: 1) Did I affect something somehow with my "commit", or was there a job that cleaned things up (if so, what job)? 2) Is the "commit" even necessary (I saw it in someone else's script in the thread)? 3) Is there a way to save a script and then execute it via shell rather than typing it in every time (it appears from the examples that people are typing them in every time, which is super tedious; I didn't paste for fear of doing something damaging, but maybe that would work)? 4) Are the request.id's of the messages dynamic/changing, or are they fixed for life? I thought I'd delete based on exact request.id without looping but I was afraid maybe they were changing over time and that this wouldn't be a good idea. Might be nice to know for the future. Thanks for the guidance! Ken

Did you by chance upgrade django? Using outdated middleware settings caused similar errors. Can you check that you are adhering to the settings that are used in the example_projects of Postorius and Hyperkitty? Try to start mailman using the builtin server (./manage.py runserver) and see what that tells you. Also please mention what versions you are using and show us your settings.py (hide passwords and stuff...)

Re: Emergency moderation and clearing out a lot of held messages

by Caballero, Danny (Dan)

Thanks for some clarification. I cleared out 2800 held messages via Python shell "mailman -l" option and it took about 28 hours. Anything done via Mailman shell is a connection from Mailman core to the database, correct? Although I can't replicate that many messages via Postorius/DJango, I do see similar slowness there as well at a message per minute or more of processing. I recreated the above Mailman shell clean up via Docker container running MariaDB and noticed similar processing time for discarding held messages. That leads me to conclude that the issue isn't network related or specific to AWS RDS. I'm open to testing and switching over to Postgres if that is the straightforward solution. ---- Dan Caballero Systems Administrator Academic Computing Solutions IMSS - Caltech https://imss.caltech.edu ________________________________ From: Stephen J.

I was trying to help localize the database request to one of the three major components: core, Postorius, HyperKitty. If you use the two- database scheme documented here: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#virtualenv-inst… knowing that database would at least identify whether the slowness is associated with core or with the web apps. The excruciating details: Conceptually, there are three separate databases: the one used by Mailman core to manage everything but authentication and archives, the one used by Django to manage authentication for HyperKitty and Postorius, and the one used by HyperKitty to manage archives. They don't share tables, and there are no name collisions for the tables so it doesn't really matter how the backend handles them. The two database configuration is not really a recommendation. I suppose the practice derives from an abundance of caution, as there are concepts like "User" that must be implemented in somewhat different ways across components (core doesn't authenticate users, while Postorius's primary function is authentication of users). I myself would worry that there might be name collisions among tables, which would cause mayhem, but that's probably excessive.

I'm pretty sure it will install dependencies. I think (everything I say below is based on reading the README.md from pipx's pypa.io repo, so caveat installer) that the complexity that will arise is that (for example) a naive approach like $ pipx install mailman $ pipx install mailmanweb $ pipx install postorius $ pipx install hyperkitty will create 4 separate venvs with 3 copies of mailmanclient, 3 copies of django-mailman3, and two copies of Django. Besides the space waste, there's also the small problem that mailmanweb won't have copies of postorius and hyperkitty in its venv. :-þ pipx has an "inject" command that allows adding other packages to a venv, but I think this means that pipx has no great advantage over the standard way of installing mailman into a venv. pipx also installs stuff into the user's $HOME, specifically into ~/.local/share/pipx/venvs which I think will be kind of annoying if you need to dig into package resources. (I expect that you will still install configs into /etc/mailman3 and various data into /var/lib/mailman3/var or /opt/mailman3 or whatever without a problem.) This would only be an issue for heavy-duty customizers. This can probably be customized. One of the big advantages pipx touts is "look ma, no sudo". That's not really an advantage for system daemons, though. So bottom line is you can do it, but you'll need to study up on pipx arcana, because Mailman is a bunch of daemon it buys you very little, and the result won't look like any Mailman installation you've seen described on mailman-users or StackExchange.
