Hi Gregory, Are we talking about the same user as the one that is logging in as admin? Or do you have additional moderators that need to be able to login and moderate your lists? -- Brian Carpenter Harmonylists.com Emwd.com

In Mailman 3, there is a list setting for maximum list size. See Postorius -> Settings -> Message Acceptance -> Maximum message size, but the message you got is from Mailman 2.1. The appropriate list for that is https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ In MM 2.1 this is controlled by the list admin UI General Options -> max_message_size. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Re: Mailman do not honor non-members moderation setting sometimes

The above can also be repeated with the list setting Default action to take when a non-member posts to the list: Accept immediately. The message sent from user(a)example.com is accepted instead of being held. So, it looks like that the non-members moderation setting is ignored for this case. > > Further study indicate that the issue did not happen if the owner is set to user(a)example.com *after* adding the non-member. It looks like that we can avoid the issue during list creation. However, the issue can also be triggered through other ways such as adding the non-member as member and remove. There are also ways to resolve the issue by removing all corresponding member, non-member, owner setting and add them back in the following order: non-member, owner. However, it does not always work and so I do not go into the detail at this moment to complicate the issue. This is a known issue. See <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/659#note_270261964>. When the same user/address has both non-member and owner roles, setting moderation for the non-member in Postorius actually sets moderation for the owner which is meaningless because the owner role is never checked for moderation. Since the reference above is obscure, I have created https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/issues/436 for this. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Re: restrict sending to owner/moderator

by David Krantz

Hi, I have just tested a variant of this as I got curious: You find the member you want to be able to send emails without moderation, then set Administrative Options to "Accept Immediately (bypass other rules)". That works. I have found no other ways, though. // David On Mon, Sep 18, 2017 at 11:28 AM, <m.dohmen(a)xconnect.de> wrote: > Hello, > > I'd like to restrict message acceptance on a per-list basis to the owner or moderator, so that simple subscribers cannot send messages to the list.

The future is here?

ieso(a)johnwillson.com writes: > For our purposes, it replaces "how to install mailman3" guides with > a single script that aims to actually do the entire thing for > you. If a single script would work, we'd have one already, I'm pretty sure. The problem is that a large proportion (I'm tempted to say "almost all" ;-) Mailman 3 installations need to fit in to an existing system configuration or pre-conceived design. I'd say that that the "standard" Mailman stack is: 0. Intel server box (not a VM) 1. Linux kernel 2. any distro 3. Postfix MTA 4. Apache webserver with wsgi module enabled 5. PostgreSQL database manager 6. Python 3 >= 3.6 7. Mailman core 8. Postorius 9. HyperKitty 10. All the above on a single host with a single public IP address and canonical domain. So 2 and 7 brook no controversy (2 because you can't argue with "anything goes", and 7 because, well, if you're arguing about 7, you're not ready to install Mailman nohow!) But every single one of the rest of those is *very* debatable -- there are already people using all of the options mentioned below (and more) in production. VMs and containers are frequently used for 0, BSDs (including MacOS) are fine for 1, Exim4 and Sendmail have varying degrees of support already for 3 (and I'll bet there are people running qmail), people do use other webservers such as nginx for 4, aside from PostgreSQL there are the MyQSL databases that are supported and some crazy folks will try to use SQLite or Oracle in production for 5, Postorius is optional and there is a commercial alternative that is used in production in a hosting service and may eventually be available for installation on your own host for 8, ditto 8 for 9 and there are yet other options such as mailarchive.com, and for 10, some people for either security or performance reasons or both want a multihomed system. So there are a minimum of 3 MTAs * 3 production-ready RDBMSes (my understanding is that there are Mailman config tweaks for standard MySQL that MariaDB doesn't need or vice-versa) to deal with, and possibly some optional options we'd like to deal with. The alternative is to say: here's the deal, spin up a Linux VM and run this script ... but that's basically what Abhilash's Docker install is (except the obvious that container != VM) -- and even that requires tweaks that are less than obvious to a lot of people to get the necessary network connectivity. So I don't see Ansible (or any such system) as a panacea. Rather, I see it as a standard language that might help us in systematically tracking variables in provisioning Mailman systems. One Ansible role would be a useful reference, and if that grows into a family of roles that are easy to compare and implement "turn-key" Mailman 3 installations for a ton of users, that would be great. That's my motivation for encouraging research into it. Now, I could be wrong -- Ansible could be more powerful than I'm giving it credit for, or that "standard" configuration might not be merely what several Mailman core devs run, it might actually be the majority of systems new to Mailman. In that case just one script would be a major contribution. So don't let me discourage anybody. But do be aware that you probably do have to make a choice between a quagmire of options and mandating a particular stack (or small set of them) for simplicity.

OK, thanks. Before getting to mistune, this command, run as mailman in a venv: pip install -U mailman postorius django-mailman3 hyperkitty mailman-web uwsgi Mailmanclient produced this error: ..

Re: Unknown attribute: max_message_size

by Alexander Klotz

Hi, unfortunately we still have problems configuring a list so that it allows a message size larger than 40 KB. Neither the workaround described here: https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/commit/f86ab7fb5cc6edeb23c43336b677c24… (required was already set to false) nor this docker setup by yova https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/issues/246 worked. Are there any other options we could try? Thanks!

Re: Mailman, etc. upgrade woes and persistent bugs

by Allan Hansen

Mark, Thank you for this reminder, but it’s not really sufficient for most. The ‘Mailman Settings’ dialog does, indeed show the other preferences tags, and yes, as you say, the dialog for ‘List-based preferences’ only shows values that are not inherited and when you set a value there, it shows. There a two problems with this: a. Once a value is overridden on the ‘List-based preferences’ dialog, you cannot go back to it being inherited by removing the override. b. You cannot see, on this dialog, what the inherited value is. This is not user-friendly. May I suggest the following: That each option shows the following: o Value 1 o Value 2 (or the equivalent for pull-down menus) A box showing inheritance status: [ ] Use inherited value from address-based preference: Value2 If the ‘Use inherited value’ is chosen, then the inherited value shows. but the value radio buttons become non-selectable. If not, then whatever value the value radio box has become the value for the list, From what I see, the ‘Use inherited value’ is the default for new lists/addresses. To change a value, the user would uncheck this box, making the radio buttons selectable, and then set the desired value.
