Re: Fwd: Re: Removing a mail addresses and users

by Allan Hansen

All, Thank you for your thoughtful responses to my call for a removal of the core vs. Django disconnect. From your responses it appears that my suggestion my issues were caused by the Mailman Core was not based in reality. Instead, the issue is how Postorius interacts with the Core. My apologies for overreaching, as the cause of my issues is not an issue to me. Keeping Core a simple list manager is fine, if Postorius is easy to use and does the expected. As a Subscriber, you are able to do switch emails in subscriptions from your options page. The URL to which is displayed in the List's Summary page when you are logged in. Yes, it requires an approval if the list's settings are set to moderate but that is going to be fixed, see this issue[1]. It is quite simple IMO to fix this one, if someone wants to take this up. Well, it’s more than that. Based on the current setup, I have asked my subscribers who want to change their subscription addresses to: a. Create an account if you do not already have one. b. Go to the user profile page. c. Select ‘E-mail Addresses’. d. Add the new e-mail to the user profile. e. Wait for the verification notice and verify the new address. e1. If it does not show send email to hansen(a)rc.org <mailto:hansen@rc.org> to get the email verified manually. f. Sign in to the account again and to the user profile (or refresh the page if not signed out). g. Select the new address as the primary address. h. Click on ‘Manage Lists’ i. For each list you are subscribed to: i1. Select the list i2. Click ‘List Options Page.’ i3. Pull down the ’Select Email’ menu. i4 Select your new email. i5. Press ‘Change email used for subscription. i6. When the moderator contacts you, explain that you are just changing your email. i6.1. If the moderator is late, send a reminder or send email to hansen(a)rc.org <mailto:hansen@rc.org> to bypass the moderator. Most people choke on these instructions, so I have unfortunately resorted to just asking them to subscribe the new address and forget about the old. This is not good for our reputation when the old addresses start bouncing. So, in more detail: I would like to ask my subscribers who want to change their address to: a. Create an account if you did not already have one. b. Go to the user profile page. c. Select ‘E-mail Addresses’. d. Select an existing address e-mail listed the user profile. e. Press new button ‘Change address’. f. When page refreshes, enter the new e-mail address. g. Press ‘Apply.' d. Wait for the verification notice. d1. If it does not show send email to hansen(a)rc.org <mailto:hansen@rc.org> to get the email verified manually. In other words, in addition to ‘Make Primary’ and ‘Re-send Verification’ and ‘Remove’, another button says: ‘Change Address’ or’ ‘Replace Address’ or some such. This button brings up another page that looks the same, but instead of ‘Add E-mail Adress’ is says : Enter New E-mail Address’ and instead of ‘Add E-mail’ is says: ‘Apply’. Then the page refreshes back to the original page, but the new address is now replacing the old address. Optionally, it can show the old address still with a ‘pending change’ until verification. Further, when the new address is verified, all lists get updated with the new address replacing the old address and all settings associated with the old address are now associated with the new address. No moderator or admin involvement needed (other than d1). You are able to sign in via web and manage your email and subscriptions. The preferences also work exactly how you described above where the lower level override the default and/or upper level settings. To some extent that is true, Abhilash, and I appreciate that. The above (address change) is a missing piece in that picture and I look forward to seeing it added, if you have time. Yours, Allan Hansen hansen(a)rc.org > On Jun 14, 2020, at 0:19 , Stephen J.

Re: Python 3.5 support?

I've tried to hold off on dropping support for 3.5 for as long as I can, the last release even though supported 3.5 in Core, didn't in Django apps(specifically, Hyperkitty). The main reason to drop support is that our dependencies have started dropping off support. For now, there is nothing in the Mailman source code that blocks 3.5, but that could change soon since I've really been waiting to use f'strings and other exciting features. Also, Debian and Fedora do have 3.7 or 3.8 in them at this point, so I am hoping this won't be a huge issue. > > -- > Joel Lord > _______________________________________________ > 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)

Re: Default moderation for new members

(After their first legitimate post, they would set to be unmoderated.) I haven’t been able to find this, though I’m suspecting the language has changed. In Postorius set Settings -> Message Acceptance -> "Default action to take when a member posts to the list" to Hold for moderation. This is the action which will be taken for a post from a member whose individual Moderation is List Default as it is for all new members. Then when a post from that member is held, if you click the subject in the held messages view, a dialog opens showing the message content with Accept, Reject and Discard buttons and a dropdown list you can use to set that member's Moderation to Default processing. Default processing is generally what you want as it bypasses the moderation hold but still applies other tests such as header filters, administrivia, implicit-dest, max-recipients, max-size, etc. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

problems installing mailman3 under gentoo and upgrading mailman2 to mailman3

by John Covici

Hi. I am having a great deal of difficulty installing mailman3 using gentoo and sendmail. Also, I want to upgrade my old mailman2 data to mailman3. What I have done so far is to install the mailman3 packages from my repository and got this: django-mailman3 version 1.3.4, mailmanclient version 3.3.1, mailman version 3.3.2 (apparently the core), postorius version 1.3.3 and hyperkitty version 1.3.3. I also have mariadb and postgresql already installed. Now trying to read your documentation, it seems it wants me to reinstall some packages using pip in the home directory of the mailman user in a python virtual environment, that was the first thing. But I would like to avoid multiple package managers wherever possible -- gentoo is already a lot of maintainance without dealing with pip's maintainance. The binaries also seem to be different from my gentoo packages. So, how do I proceed with getting mailman3 up and working, configuring the database, configs, etc and I guess after doing that upgrading mailman2 and getting sendmail to interface properly with mailman3? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici wb2una covici(a)ccs.covici.com

There's no explicit doc, but there are some posts in the archives of this list, e.g. <https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message…>. The easiest scenario is if you want to migrate everything. You just dump the database on the old server and load it on the new one using the database manager's tools. If you only want to move some, but not all lists, it's more complicated, but possibly the easiest thing is to migrate everything and then delete the unwanted lists and their archives from Postorius and HyperKitty. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Error Logging - what changed with the New Year releases?

by Odhiambo Washington

Apart from all the defaults in settings.py (derived from gitlab), I also have this line: LOGGING['handlers']['file']['filename'] = '/opt/mailman/mm/var/logs/mailmanweb.log' Before the New Year releases of MM3, I used to get errors written to this file. Not anymore after I updated to the New Year releases. Another thing that I have realized is that prior to the New Year releases, I would get an error logged to that file and also mailed to me. I don't think that I have changed anything in settings,py related to logging. I have been trying to get signup with Twitter working. This used to generate an error that was both logged and emailed, but that isn't happening anymore. I have enabled other social auth providers (in settings.py) which I haven't configured in the admin panel. I expect that tying to use these on Postorius would generate an error that is logged and mailed to admin, but that too is not happening. Just checking out what might have changed - or if I am going nuts :-) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft.", egrep -v '^$|^.*#' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ :-)

Re: Mail going to Held Messaging even the moderation is set to Accept Immediately

Member moderation Accept Immediately does not bypass ALL rules. It only bypasses those rules after member-moderation. See <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/blob/master/src/mailman/chains/builtin…>. However, I don't think that's the issue here. I think the issue is the poster is both an owner and a member. There is an issue in Postorius such that in cases like this, setting the member's moderation action actually sets that of the owner which has no effect on posting.

With respect to Mailman core, all I'm doing is downloading the .po for Spanish and comparing it to mailman/messages/es/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.po from the Mailman core 3.3.3 package on PyPI and they are identical.
