I don't recall anybody discussing this. Your use case is your use case, but I think if we were going to implement this I'd probably want "partial" deactivation where the archives remain available but no mail is delivered, can't subscribe, etc. I'm also not sure I'd want Postorius to deny it ever existed. That seems rather unfriendly (again, I don't understand your use case, so that is not a comment on your requirements). So to get it into the distribution we'd need to make these things optional. (Perhaps if these options proliferate much, they could be incorporated into list "styles" so that instead of setting all the options manually, the primary use cases could be served by "intuitively" named styles.) It seems to me that dump, delete, and restore may be the best approach for the HyperKitty side because HyperKitty maintains all that state. Of course this could be done inside the database. Also, perhaps you can (ab)use the ArchivePolicy enum by adding an "inactive" element, but core has no way to enforce those on the archiver (which can be a third party host like mail-archive.com) and I'm not sure HyperKitty ever consults core about that once the archive is created. I'm not sure what you mean about IArchiver; as far as I can see that interface is sort of half-duplex: it provides the information core needs *about* the archiver to do core's side of archiving, not for core to communicate *with* the archiver. In fact all of the concrete code is callbacks provided by the archiver, and once a message is archived the core forgets about it. So this isn't "just" an extension; it's a fundamental redesign of IArchiver. I'm not sure that's not a good thing, but we do need to think about it. ISTM we're gradually converging back on the monolithic approach to MLM, with the distribution, administration, and archiving quite tightly interwoven, and I'm not sure I like that. OTOH, we do get a lot of requests for ever more bundling.

These are names that are saved in Postorius' (django) database and have nothing to do with mailman. Furthermore you will only find them if people have logins for the frontend. They don't have to. Also these names are optional. They aren't populated during signup and people have to provide them afterwards themselves. >> Names are optional though, if people signup without them you won't be able to >> get them. > My usage of mailman is perhaps a bit special: users can't sign up, only > the site owner signs up manually with create_user(email=, first_name=...) > Then the site owner creates the mailing lists and uses mass subscription > (for example all members of a basketball team).

Displaying the names stored in django probably won't happen. Matching the names in django with the members in lists would require lots of code where people can just supply their name when they signup for a list. Also you might want to be known by name on one list and not on others...

Here's what's going on. In normal text, mistune disables HTML tags by converting `<` to the html entity `<`, but your browser renders the HTML entity `<` as `<` so you see what was written. The issue here is the text you quoted was originally in a markdown code block, i.e. preceded and followed by lines of three backticks. Code blocks are intended to be seen literally as written so they are wrapped in <pre><code> ... </code></pre> tags in the HTML and also HTML escaped. The problem is the tag disabling converts `<` to `<` but then the HTML escaping converts `<` to `&lt;` which your browser then renders as `<` rather than `<`. (aside, it will be interesting to see how that is rendered in the archive) If HyperKitty is set to render as plain text rather than markdown it doesn't interpret code blocks so this doesn't happen. There are other anomalies with the markdown rendering, e.g., as pointed out by Jeremy at https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message… Those notwithstanding, we prefer markdown rendering for this list because often people post Python snippets or `mailman shell` interactions and enclosing those in markdown code blocks renders them much better. > I haven't currently got an instance that I can test on but will keep > this in mind when the time comes to migrate. > > Should the rendering at lists.mailman3.org get modified, please share > the procedure. > > > > Testing: less-than and greater-than around a tag: > > <Location /mailman/accounts/signup> > > Testing: less-than and greater-than around a tag in a quoted block: > > > <Location /mailman/accounts/signup> Both the above tests look fine in the archive. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Re: Mailman3 throws 500 error (unicode encode) when loading held messages in Postorius

Unfortunately I > am still seeing a 500 error on loading the page. If this is a Mailman problem, I don't understand it. The shunt queue is not the moderation queue. The shunt queue is for messages that Mailman cannot handle without throwing an exception. Once a message is sent to the shunt queue, Mailman ignores it, so it shouldn't cause problems for the moderation page. Have you tried restarting Mailman since moving the qfile? If that doesn't work, and if it's the same error message and traceback, the easy suspect is browser caching (although we should be disabling that, I hope). Try a manual refresh (usually Ctrl-R or in the menu). If that doesn't work, try a private browsing window or another browser if you don't want to clear the cache or restart the browser. > I temporarily reenabled debug logging to confirm that the same > error was being thrown. > > Assuming that file was the cause are there other steps I need to > perform in addition to removing the file from the shunt queue > directory? The only one I can think of is the check for browser-side caching. Unfortunately, Mark's out of town (like, on top of a mountain with no bars on his phone), and I am not going to be able to do much with this until Thursday at the earliest. If you do get a new traceback, post it here (somebody else may have an idea). If you like you may send me the qfile at the address in From. I'll see if I can reproduce the bug, and I'm pretty sure I can tell you what's in the file so at least you'll know whether it's important to somebody who isn't a scammer/spammer. Steve

Re: {Spam?} Server name in new account confirmation email

by Meehan, John

Thanks for your replies. From Mark's reply, and looking at django_allauth, the Subject of the confirmation email uses the site name from the django_site db table in brackets, but the URL in the message body comes from the HTTP header. Adding proxy_set_header Host $http_host before the proxy_pass line on the SSL proxy server solved the problem. ________________________________ From: Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> Sent: Thursday, December 3, 2020 10:25 AM To: mailman-users(a)mailman3.org <mailman-users(a)mailman3.org> Subject: [MM3-users] Re: {Spam?} Server name in new account confirmation email On 12/3/20 9:26 AM, Meehan, John wrote: > Hi, when someone creates a new account (Sign Up), an email is sent to them to confirm their email address.

I did mean the 'List-Based Preferences' tab. The 'Subscriptions' tab is non-functional. It's in some sense aesthetically more pleasing than 'List-Based Preferences', but you have to do extra, unnecessary work to get anything done from the 'Subscriptions' tab. It may make sense to just get rid of the current 'Subscriptions' tab and rename 'List-based Preferences' to 'Subscriptions'. The only functionality of 'Subscriptions' over 'List-based Preferences' is that it lists you once for each role and address (member, non-member, moderator, owner) that you have for that list. This is possibly more confusing than helpful for non-owners. Moderators get informed of their role every time they need to do something. And it's possible to be both a member and a non-member of a list, which is pretty confusing. > Under 'User profile for <name>', under the 'E-mail Addresses', add > button to ensure that 'Primary E-mail' is used for all lists. If you define "ensure" strictly, this would be a fair amount of work because it would require overriding the normal "cascade" of preferences, and incidentally a way to turn off that override. I'd rather not make the implementation so complicated. There does need to be a way to revert each option to inherit, and there currently doesn't seem to be one. The 'Preferences' interface I described in the previous post doesn't provide it either. I will think about that. It should be normally unnecessary to use the 'Preferences' interface, because the default subscription should be "use primary address". For people using the current versions of Mailman 3, who are already have a bunch of subscriptions with the same *explicit* address, I think it is good enough. But if there's demand for a "revert all to use primary address" button, that would be easy enough to add. Here's why I think such a button would be unnecessary in future versions of Mailman. What should happen if you subscribe by an address not already known to Mailman without creating an account in Postorius is 1. Mailman registers the address. 2. Mailman creates a User object to "own" that address, and makes that address the primary address for the User. 3. Mailman creates a subscription which links the User (not the address) to the mailing list so that the primary address is used. For addresses already known to Mailman, Mailman should look up the User registered to that address, and if the subscription address is the primary address, set "use primary address" for the subscription. In this scheme, as far as I can see, your user doesn't need to do anything with the account until she wants to change the address. At that point she needs to activate the account: - visit her personal options page in Postorius - request a password reset (she doesn't have one yet, so she can't log in) - click the special link - set a password or link a social media account, and - finally change the address. Note that this is the bare minimum of work for her. She has to prove she can read mail at that address. Anything less, and *anybody* can change her subscriptions. We could omit requiring a new password, but it's not a lot of work once you've got to this point, while the "request, wait for email, click link, do work" dance is pretty annoying. Why make someone do it again next time? This is problematic if she's already lost access to the old address, of course, but in that case you're probably going to have to intervene anyway. I don't think Postorius requires her to do anything else, but if she wants to she can update her profile at that point. I have to check the code, and probably also ask Barry and the other folks who designed the current subscription mechanism in case there's some fatal flaw in the scheme above. But I think that should do what almost all "one address" users want, and it's probably what the majority of people who have multiple addresses and use different ones for different purposes want most of the time, too. Note to self of possible problems: (1) The primary address is where you would send administrative mail to the account holder and that might not be an appropriate address for the default subscription. (2) This is a pretty radical change from the current situation, so it might need to be an option for the list or domain owner. > And, indeed, new subscriptions should default to 'Use Primary.' I agree. I'm astonished that there are situations where they don't, to be quite honest. That's the whole point of having accounts in the first place -- having *one* source of information about the user rather than spreading it out over a bunch of lists. > Is that possible now? It is already the default for someone who subscribes by logging in to Postorius. I assume that it is *not* the default for someone who subscribes by email or mass subscription, otherwise you wouldn't have the problem. > Does a member have to have an account for me to set it up thus for > them? Yes. The primary address is an attribute of the account. Subscriptions can't know anything about a primary address unless there is an account. However, it should be possible to make this default for an account that hasn't been activated yet, such as in a mass subscription. Regards, Steve

Well, it doesn’t change the situation much from status quo. You also have multiple users today, even if you subscribe via individual address since an address always has a User. And like we were discussing over on the other thread, when the owner decides to join in P and control both the addresses from single P account, we’ll merge both users. > >> We don’t necessarily need the flag on user to set an unverified primary >> address, we might be able to get away without that.

In general admins can't read your > mail, so they can't verify you on a mass subscribe or an import. What I meant was, we can set the address as primary after the verification dance with the user and then subscribe the primary address. The existing subscription workflow is a multi-step process that can be paused and resumed. We pause when we send out a confirmation email and then resume when that confirmation token is somehow processed via email or API. So, post receiving the confirmation and before actually subscribing, we can se the address as primary if the user doesn’t have one and subscribe user as inhert. We don’t do any of that if user already has chosen a primary address and it doesn’t match the current address. Also, mass-subscribe and import does allow you to verify an address by clicking this “Pre-verified” checkbox, which can be useful if you are migrating from a different service or you exported a list of users from somewhere you know to be valid. > >> Right now, P is explicit about it.

It depends on how are you actually using Mailman. Postorius today subscribes people using their addresses, so the method you mentioned below is the correct way to change addresses. If you think you are going to do this more frequently, you could subscribe users with their user_ids and then when you need to change their memberships, you just update their preferred_address. See [1] here for how to join a mailing list using user_ids. Note that this isn't available today using Postorius (our Web UI), but I'd be happy to work with you if you want to contribute it.
