Re: Mailman3 is wrongly display name a list member

by Allan Hansen

Thank youi, Stephen. Oops. When I wrote below that I set the name 'B' in the account, I did describe it wrongly. Sorry. The member just wants one name, 'A' for all her subsriptions. Somehow the 'B' got into the system when we upgraded from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3. I removed the address from all the lists, set the account display name to 'A' in Django, verified that she was not subscribed to any list at all, and then resubscribed her again as 'A'. In other words, no 'B' anywhere - straight 'A's. Nevertheless, the new subscriptions still show up as 'B'. Now, for the workaround: " If you want a new subscription to set the display name for an address, the workaround would be to delete the address, then reconfirm the address, and resubscribe the address to all the relevant lists." I modified the above workflow to: Removed the address from all the lists. Set the account display name to 'A' in Django. Verify that she is not subscribed to any list at all. Deleted the email address in Django (under 'Email addresses'). Resubscribed her as 'A'. In other words, no 'B' anywhere - straight 'A's. Nevertheless, the new subscriptions still has 'B' when I list it in Postorius. Further: When I search for 'Email addresses' in Django's list of emails (by account or email), it no longer exists. When I search under 'Users' (by account or email), it exists with 'A' as the display (which she entered when she created the account). Then since the email does not exist, under 'Email addresses' in Django, I go to 'Add email address', enter her account name and address. This gives and error: 'Select a valid choice. That choice is not one of the available choices.' I get this error no matter which 'Save...' button I press. I then tried to get into REST as per your advice here: " I think just starting Python 3 on the Mailman host as the Mailman user (we recommend "mailman" but Debian prefers "list", YMMV) and typing >>> from mailman.testing.documentation import dump_json >>> dump_json('http://localhost:8001/3.1/addresses/a@foo.com', ... method='PATCH', data={'display_name': 'A'}) " I get this, after setting myself up as user mailman (which works when entering mailman commands): mailman@list:~/scripts$ python3 Python 3.7.3 (default, Jan 22 2021, 20:04:44) [GCC 8.3.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from mailman.testing.documentation import dump_json Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mailman' Looking around, I found mailman related stuff in /opt/mailman/mm and a file called 'mailman' in opt/mailman/mm/bin but hesitated editing your command above to: /opt/mailman/mm/mailman.testing.documentation (I don't want to mess up my system). So no go... Sorry for ranting. __ Please: 1. Always use the display name and email set up in the account everywhere. 2. Allow the member to change her display name using the account UI. 3.

If I recall correctly, this issue occurs because Subscription objects have no display name attribute, but User and Address objects do. First, the advice part: > What can I do to help this member? Unfortunately the mailman command line utility doesn't seem to allow changing the display name. The REST interface does, though. I think just starting Python 3 on the Mailman host as the Mailman user (we recommend "mailman" but Debian prefers "list", YMMV) and typing >>> from mailman.testing.documentation import dump_json >>> dump_json('http://localhost:8001/3.1/addresses/a@foo.com', ... method='PATCH', data={'display_name': 'A'}) should do what you want. Note the numbers "8001" (Mailman core's REST port) and "3.1" (the API version) may be different on your system, I'm assuming the default install of a recent Mailman release. See https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/rest/docs/… for information about accessing the REST API and https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/rest/docs/… for a few more details on the update process. On to the rants, if you care. > I went into Django and added the name 'B' to the subscriber's > account (the name was empty). > > I then unsubscribed <a(a)foo.com> from the lists and resubscribed 'A' > <a(a)foo.com>. > > The subscription again lists as 'B' <a(a)foo.com>. Does the user need to have different display names for different addresses? (I don't think it's possible to have different display names for the same address on different lists because there's no display name at all for Subscription objects.) If the answer is "no", the correct thing to do is to set the desired display name on the user's account. If the answer is "yes", there doesn't seem to be any way to do this with current Postorius/HyperKitty. Postorius doesn't expose the display name anywhere that I can see, and HyperKitty only manages the account's "real name". > This brings up a previous discussion of display names on this list, > but I have not been able to find any solution to the need to change > Mailman3's display names for a subscriber. It is beyond weird that > unsubscribing, setting the account display name and resubscribing > the member fishes back up the old and wrong display name. Unless you explained what you did incorrectly this is not weird, it's the expected result. You set "B" in the account, that's what's going to show up as the display name. It is not obvious that a new subscription should change an existing display name for a user or an address, given that there is no way to set a list-specific display name. It could go either way, and for the user I would definitely not change it, for the address I tend to agree that a new subscription should not change the address's display name. I agree that it's weird that neither Postorius nor HyperKitty seems to expose a way to set Address display names, though. If you want a new subscription to set the display name for an address, the workaround would be to delete the address, then reconfirm the address, and resubscribe the address to all the relevant lists.

How To Install Mailman 3 on Debian 10 (Complete Guide)

by Brian Carpenter

I have finished my how-to install Mailman 3 on Debian 10 completed to the point where you can use it to get a fully functional Mailman 3 environment up and running. This is a comprehensive guide that walks you through installing EVERYTHING (currently!) that Mailman 3 needs to run. It also makes updating Mailman 3/Postorius/Hyperkitty very easy. I have not added the update directions yet but will very soon. I also plan on adding a section on setting up DKIM and Xapian with Mailman 3. I hope this helps those who wish to get a Mailman 3 server up and running quickly and brings a sense of sanity to the confusion regarding the various documentation out there concerning the installation of Mailman 3/Postorius/Hyperkitty. I intend to add a How-to for Ubuntu 20 at some point. Without further ado: https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Howto_Install_Mailman3_On_Debian10 I am sure the above guide can use improvements. Feel free to contact me off-list to point out mistakes/improvements, etc. -- Brian Carpenter Harmonylists.com Emwd.com

Re: Remove PDF attachents

You need to set the list's filter_types and or pass_types. For example, to filter out everything except HTML and plain text, collapse alternative parts and convert remaining HTML to plain text, you would set filter_content = True collapse_alternatives = True convert_html_to_plaintext = True pass_types = ['multipart', 'text/plain', 'text/html'] The first 3 of these can be set in Postorius -> Settings -> Alter Messages, but the last has to be set in mailman shell as in $ /opt/mailman/mm/bin/mailman shell -l list(a)example.com Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell m.

See the footer of this message which contains To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-leave(a)mailman3.org This is produced by To unsubscribe send an email to ${short_listname}-leave@${domain} in the template which is also in the default template. This seems sufficient for Google, as I don't see mail bounced for this reason. You might try adding a link to Postorius. You can't really link to an immediate unsubscribe as that requires the user be logged in (and the user may not even have an account) and it also required POST data, but for Mailman >= 3.3.10, you could add To unsubscribe send an email to ${short_listname}-leave@${domain} or go to $mailinglist_url This requires the domain have a base_url set.

I'm finding reported spam percentages in the Google Postmaster Dashboard exceeding 0.1%, which causes massive delivery blocking to GMail-based subscribers. The List-Unsubscribe: header is added in the handler pipeline by mailman/handlers/rfc_2369.py. At his point in the process the message is still generic so the header can't be personalized. The mailman/handlers/decorate.py handler can add personalized content so could modify the List-Unsubscribe: header to add the recipient's email address except at least at present this won't work because emails to listname-leave or listname-request with a leave or unsubscribe command currently only look at the sender of the email for the address to unsubscribe. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
