What else is stored in /var/messages, if not archives? I see 4711 messages in that directory (which I presume would be as many messages are in the archive database).

I didn't think so, but I'll certainly buy that. So, I'm assuming by this you are implying that there is no helper function that needed to run and the number of held messages should have dropped to zero immediately upon a refresh of the web page? >> 2) Is the "commit" even necessary (I saw it in someone else's script in >> the thread)? > > It is necessary to explicitly commit() or quit with ctrl-D to actually > update the database. Got it. Thanks. That explains why I didn't see any deletions when I re-ran the script the second time (after likely exiting with ctrl-D first). >> 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)? > > > Yes, you can save a script in the bin/ directory in your venv and run it > with `mailman shell -r`.

So if I run the script, exist the shell, then come back in again, I can't rely on the request.id being the same? I'd need to re-run the script and get a new request.id?

Message-Footer after migrating to Mailman3

by christopher.claus＠tgcamberg1848.de

Hello together, I migrated a number of lists from mailman2 to mailman3 using the import functionality. Everthing works fine and the new lists are in use. Currently I´m using the maxking-docker-images with postorius: Mailman Core Version GNU Mailman 3.3.3 (Tom Sawyer) Mailman Core API Version 3.1 Mailman Core Python Version 3.8.5 (default, Feb 19 2021, 09:27:16) [GCC 9.3.0] After this migration I started a refactoring with the list-styles specially with message-footers. Already the old lists in mailman2 were confused in some configuration details an I was clear to import this "misconfiguration" and clean it up afterwards. But this was much more difficult than expected: some lists are using a footer (from the mailman2-config) and there is no record in the template-section visible. Further I found no configuration item which points to this "old" footer. I found the file [code] /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mailman/templates/de/list:member:generic:footer.txt [/code] which includes the old footer: [code] _______________________________________________ $display_name Mailingliste -- $listname Zur Abmeldung von dieser Mailingliste senden Sie eine Nachricht an ${short_listname}-leave@${domain} [/code] but no configuration item to disable this behaviour. I created a new template list:member:regular:footer for the list to override the footer. But the old footer is still used - in detail: the resulting message sent to all subcribers of the list contains only the footer and the content sent to the list is an attachement of that "footer-message". This is the basic reason why I want to change it. In the logfiles I found an error and a warning: [code] ERROR 2021-05-24 16:22:22,895 1648 django.security.DisallowedHost Invalid HTTP_HOST header: 'tgc_mailman_web:8000'. The domain name provided is not valid according to RFC 1034/1035. WARNING 2021-05-24 16:22:22,896 1648 django.request Bad Request: /postorius/api/templates/list/homepage.gruppe.tgcamberg1848.de/list:member:regular:footer [/code] Obviously I have a problem with the hostname. I set [code] POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL=http://tgc_mailman_web:8000 [/code] where tgc_mailman_web is my container name. This URL ist stored in the DB-table "template" for the name=list:member:regular:footer. A call to my fqdn or to localhost [code] wget http://localhost:8000/postorius/api/templates/list/homepage.gruppe.tgcamber… [/code] will return the footer itself - this works fine. Therefore, should i set POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL to http://localhost:8000? I think, resolving this issue will use the newly configured footer. But I started with the intention to remove alle footers due to the attachement situation described above. Does anybody have an idea how to change the configuration of my list? Are these problems probably related to the import? Currently we are using more then 25 lists with a lot of users. Manually recreating all lists is not possible an could only be a test for a single list. Best regards, chrclaus

You have to do this, I suspect (I am unsure that removing the reference from urls.py would protect you from A Sufficiently Smart Miscreant, and if it did you'd still get the error, so why not remmove the code and remove all doubt!) > I solved this in an admittedly ugly way, by removing the sign up > button from the postorius and hyperkitty templates. You do not have to do it this way. There is a search path for templates, and you can remove those buttons from copies stored in a directory earlier in the path. I use /etc/mailman3/templates/..., but they can go anywhere convenient that won't be overwritten by an upgrade. The worst that could happen is the copies get removed, and then you get the error, which you fix.

Re: username

by Stephen J. Turnbull

bryan.kartzman(a)yu.edu writes: > I would like to create/pre-populate all the postorius usernames for > our list owners/list moderators using their university net > username. Is there a way to do that? You can create Django users via the Django admin interface (typically the ".../admin" sibling to the ".../postorius" and ".../hyperkitty" URLs. It shouldn't be too hard to automate this, but I don't know of such a script. Django channels might be a better place to ask for that. But after that things may get complicated. Are you migrating from an existing list server and want to link the new users to existing lists? I think this can be done as long as you link the appropriate owner addresses to each user. Hopefully those are algorithmically related to the network login (ie, address = username@domain). Also, if by "network login" you mean a SSO protocol such as SAML, you can populate users directly from a service provider such as Shibboleth. There's a well-known protocol called REMOTE_USER that Django participates in. There are a couple of speed bumps you may run into, but it's hard to be specific without more information on your particular situation. Steve

Hi Mark, Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I'm currently stuck with the junk shipped by Debian. Yet another reason to move to a standalone install and avoid their broken packages.

Re: attachment.html

by Sam Darwin

Thanks for making this change! It's a big improvement! Another random idea, not required, - using javascript, literally disable or enable all the settings which are disabled or enabled by 'Filter content'.

I think Postorius and other configs will take care of themselves except for the users' tables which can be handled as Mark suggests, and the HyperKitty archives themselves are most easily handled by exporting to mbox and importing into the new site. > 7.

Not sure about host and webserver > configuration for mailman-web, though. I just remembered one thing (among many, I'm sure): you probably need to create directories under $var_dir/lists for each foreign list. I'm pretty sure this is done by the "mailman create" function, not on the fly. The source for "mailman create" would be another good place to look for tasks you (or your script) need to perform and changes needed to database values in the SQL dump scripts. Steve
