Re: Postorius Suggestion: Give owner a view of all users of all owned lists

[Forgot reply to list] ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Thank you Stephen for your questions. I have to admit that I thought about a quick and dirty solution, but you are right, it would not be optimal. Lets see: Stephen J.

Owner is the primary target group for that. But since it should be a tool for managing subscriptions in a simple way, it might also be of interest for superusers. For me as a superuser it would make life easier. > Then you'd iterate over the logged-in owner's lists and collect all of > the subscriptions.

Ah, I see the problem and agree: So, the presentation should have a sorted and searchable list of addresses and a Button next to each address, maybe labeled "Subscriptions". > Without a more complete specification of what your users need, and the > presentation they'd want to see, I personally am unwilling to go > farther than those comments. Maybe one of the other devs feels > differently. The presentation given when above "Subscriptions" Button is clicked should contain the address as kind of Headline. Then a table of all lists of the logged in owner and next to each mailing list an indication, if the address is subscribed or not and a Button to toggle subscription/unsubscription. May be a single Toggle Button or (maybe better) two buttons, a suscribe and a unsubscribe button, where one is greyed out.b In our case Delivery Status and Delivery Mode are not interesting, but others might appreciate it. In addition my owners would like to have a "unsubscribe from all my lists" button. And a "subscribe to all my lists" button. This might be visually nicer, when having the two-button approach above. In our case we would want to (un-)subscribe the address in a "do it, don't ask anyone" fashion, but maybe this is not a good idea in general. What do you think? > Also, "domain owner" is way under-implemented currently. For the > hierarchical situation you outline, all the problems go away for > domain owners.

Avoiding non-members to be saved.

by Guillermo Hernandez (Oldno7)

Hi all: Yesterday I had a problem with a private list. A spammer sent a mail forging one address that was a non-member (in fact was an "accept this no subscriber mails" from mailman 2.1 import) with very bad intentions and it was distributed. There were no list of "accept this non members" in the Postorius config (but I'm sure that that address was "accepted" in 2.1). To avoid this from any other non member address I deleted ALL non-members. I think it is solved now (deleting all and putting to hold just the non-members addresses that I would want to pass messages on) The fact is that any sender address of mails sent to the list is saved as a "non member", and it make me nervous as it will grow despite it is a legitimate message or not. Anybody knows if there is a per list config to avoid saving all that addresses as non members? o a overall config? I couldn't find anything about this in the config pages (or googling it) Thanks in advance. --

Re: New Mailman 3 installation issues

Core appears to be installed and working as desired but Postorius (and hyperkitty, but I haven't even started troubleshooting it while trying to get the web interface working) is only loading the main page with no lists shown and all remaining links return a server error (specific text is: "Server error > An error occurred while processing your request." with the error text highlighted).

By default, Core's REST API runs on Port 8001 and Django uses 8000. If you were using 8000 for the Core's Port in settings.py, that would mean Postorius was trying to talk to itself and hence the 404 errors with the URLs. > > Thank you for your help. > > Regards, > Jane > _______________________________________________ > Mailman-users mailing list -- mailman-users(a)mailman3.org > To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-leave(a)mailman3.org > https://lists.mailman3.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.mailman3.org/ > -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

[GSoC 2026] [Feature Proposal] Per-List Backup and Restore Support

by Stephen J. Turnbull

Hi Sonika I am cross-posting and setting Reply-To to mailman-developers. People who want to discuss the user experience for this feature are welcome to override and continue here, but the primary purpose of this thread seems to be implementation, so mailman-developers seems more appropriate. You're welcome to post here, but most implementation discussions are taking place on mailman-developers(a)python.org. The advantage to posting here is primarily when you are hoping for information about how popular a feature is, or what users (mostly admins) think about a design choice that affects the user experience. >>>>> sonika gutha via Mailman-users writes: > I am exploring the possibility of implementing a *per-list backup > and restore feature* for Mailman. This has been recently requested and seems plausible in general. > I plan to implement this feature in two parts. The main backup and > restore logic should live in *Mailman Core*, since that is where > the actual list configuration and membership data are stored. Besides marshaling the information and serializing it to JSON, I think that the initial UI implementation should be done in the mailman utility. The issue is that some of the use cases involve security or reliability issues. For example, consider cloning a list configuration to a new list. This should be restricted to the superuser or domain owners, as others are not allowed to create new lists. Another example, if a list is backed up, and then accidentally deleted, it's possible that the member lists contain addresses that have been deleted. Cleaning that up may require superuser privileges. > My idea is to define a *versioned JSON format* that captures the > important per-list data such as list settings, members, owners, > moderators, and relevant subscription preferences. Subscription preferences need care, because they are the property of the subscriber, not the list administrator. > while leaving more complex areas such as archives or other external > components out of scope unless they are explicitly expected. Backing up archives is definitely out of scope. I'm not sure what other "external components" you have in mind. > *Questions:* > > 1. For the first version, what exactly should be included in > the per-list backup: only settings and memberships, or also > items like templates, ban lists, and member preferences? Everything accessible from the REST API, as much as possible. Web templates are usually customized in files in the /etc/mailman3 hierarchy, and are site-wide, so those are not in scope. > 2. Should the main export and restore implementation live in > Mailman Core, with Postorius mainly responsible for the UI and > workflow? Yes. These functions need to be accessible from the mailman utility, as there is no guarantee that Postorius is available. > 3. Is a *versioned JSON format* the preferred choice for the > backup file? By "versioned", do you mean the *format* is versioned, or the *backup* is versioned? In general, I think formats should be versioned because it's cheap to do so and may help in debugging. The backup should be versioned with the SQLAlchemy database schema, and also timestamped. For most use cases, the timestamp is most relevant, but for an old enough backup the database schema could change and should be checked. > 4. Should restore only support creating or recreating a list > from backup, or should it also support restoring into an already > existing list? It should be possible to overwrite settings in an existing list, for example in case of accidental changes, or to share ban lists and templates. Note that this implies partial restores, but that's not in scope for the moment. The specific use case recently requested was an organization that wants to implement a policy of being able to restore a deleted list for a certain period of time in case there are regrets. -- GNU Mailman consultant (installation, migration, customization) Sirius Open Source https://www.siriusopensource.com/ Software systems consulting in Europe, North America, and Japan
