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?

I don't think this would help the issue. What I am seeing here is users signing up through Postorius using the sign up option which then creates an account in Django (but not Mailman). Yesterday alone I had over 700 of these accounts created. I don't know whether they pass email confirmation or not (I don't see this in Django admin), however they don't get added as users in Mailman and they don't attempt to subscribe to any list. >It may be possible to do something automatic, but you need to explain how you know these users are "fake", and it has to be something that can easily be detected with a few lines of Python. If it becomes at all complex, it will almost surely make trouble for "real" subscribers. I agree, this is why I am taking the route of running a regular Cron job to delete the users as explained earlier. Andrew.

Please start Mailman core. This is not normal. It could be that Mailman is running but Postorius and Mailman disagree about which port. What does "systemctl status mailman" say, in full? (As above, it will say Mailman has exited. What's important is if it says there are other errors detected.) What does "journalctl -S HH:MM -u mailman -x" say? HH:MM should be a minute or so before you most recently started mailman with systemctl. What does "ps -e -f -u mailman" say? There should be a dozen or so processes running. Does systemctl stop mailman /opt/mailman3/venv/bin/mailman start work better? The systemd commands are useless, but you can check that the runners are active with the ps command above. Failing all that, does rebooting help? Steve

I don't know why that would 404 unless the token 4d6b4b11266c7332684c5a492eb3f92c531f761b didn't exist, but since it came from a "current" view, it should be good. I have seen occasional issues where two moderators attempt to handle the same request in close succession - i.e. both get the pending request and try to handle it and the second fails because the request is gone, but that appears not to be the case here. You might check the web server logs, the Django log and Mailman's logs to see if there is any more of a clue. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

No. the mailman-web migrate command will apply relevant migrations for various django projects. You do need to rin it after upgrading things like hyperkitty, postorius and django-mailman3 and other dependencies which may have defined migrations for various database schema changes, but this will do nothing for your data. For that, you need to dump the mailman and mailmanweb databases on the old server and import them on the new server. > but how can i export an entire MM3 list (including 20 years of archives) to some serialization format, and import it again in another instance? With the dump and other utilities from your database manager. Almost everything is in the database.

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.
