Re: How to store additional information about lists?

by Stephen J. Turnbull

Andreas Barth writes: > public: anyone can subscribe and read the archive. This is already possible, more or less the default list configuration. "Subscribe and read archive" involves multiple separate list attributes, enforced by three separate applications. Subscription policy is controlled by whether you need approval of an admin or not, and whether you need to verify your email or not, plus the ban lists. Archive access (assuming you have one at all) is contrlled by a different list attribute, archive_policy. Core has final say on subscriptions, but Postorius could do it if email subscriptions are disabled. HyperKitty handles the archive permissions. These various aspects are currently quite loosely coupled. > restricted: for employees (or members - or whatever) only. So they > could subscribe themself.

The basic idea is to handle the "anyone in that group" case by mass subscribing and setting the subscription to no-mail. Obviously, this is most practical with a fairly static membership (eg, students at a school). A fluid membership (for example, a volunteer organization) would be made easier to manage with a "member adapter" to an external database to handle the "do I know this person" questions. ("Member adapter" is Mailman 2 terminology, I don't know if it's exactly the same in Mailman 3; it does or *should* exist in Mailman 3, though.) It's possible that we could make this easier to configure with some changes to core. However, if this is as close to what you need as I think it is, I would advise against vendoring Mailman, and instead writing some scripts to help manage mass subscription, or create the member adapter. > (How to know who is allowed to subscribe is another question - having > an internal mailing list which contains all the members just for this > purpose would be ok for me.) That's helpful to know. This sounds very similar to the Systers approach, where the Mailman core User database is the authoritative membership database for the organization. > private: hand-selected people, think about e.g. board or steering > committees internal discussions.

This is already possible by requiring admin approval, or by setting the ban list to something that matches everything like "^.".

Modify approval email

by Stephen J. Turnbull

pau.baiges(a)csuc.cat writes: > Is there a way to modify the email that is sent by default to list > owners when a non-list member sends email to the list? Yes. As list owner (or site admin) in Postorius go to Templates, and click on "New Template". Select list:admin:action:post from the drop-down menu to the right of "Name". Copy the current message (site-packages/mailman/templates/en/list:admin:action:post.txt is the original, but do not edit this -- it will be overwritten on upgrades) to the text box and edit to taste. Unfortunately there is no "web site" variable but typically that is the same for all lists, so adding https://your.host.here/mailman3/lists/$list_id/held_messages in some appropriate place probably does what you want. There is no way to indicate that this is a link because these messages are plain text. However, most mail clients will turn a URL into a link. If your moderators are not so lucky, try wrapping it with <URL:https://your.host.here/mailman3/lists/$list_id/held_messages> or even the usual HTML: <a href="https://your.host.here/mailman3/lists/$list_id/held_messages"> Moderation Page </a> One of those may help.

Unable to download attachments from HyperKitty

by Derek Lambert

I’m having an issue downloading attachments from HyperKitty. The download begins as expected, but never progresses. Eventually it times out.

What does the incompatibility with Python-3.10 portend for my setup > and anyone else with Python-3.10? The bug in aiosmtpd is a bit weird and has to do with how the test cases in aiosmtpd and Python 3.10 changes interact with SSL. For the intents and purposes of Mailman, we don't use SSL for the communication between MTA and aiosmtpd, so there _shouldn't_ be any issuer with your setup. Ideally, `pip` shouldn't have allowed you to install aiosmtpd in a Python venv with 3.10, but that depends on which version of pip you are using since the newer versions have better support for such management. > 2. Is it possible to downgrade the Python in a Venv down to 3.9 without > breaking the installation? You can keep the current installation running and create a 2nd installation by simply creating a 2nd venv with 3.9. Something like, `/opt/mailman/mm/venv-3.9/`. You can install things into that venv and when you are done and ready to switch, you can update all the paths in various places to use update 'venv-3.9' instead of 'venv'. In case you encounter any issues, you can always revert back to older 'venv' in the paths wherever the are needed and bring back the old install. Venvs are good for multiple installs so you can switch back and forth pretty easily. > > And finally, is there documentation/procedure to upgrade a VENV install > in this case? You don't want to upgrade venv is what i've heard, you should always create a new one if you are bumping python versions. If you are just upgrading packages in the existing venv, then you can follow: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/upgrade-3.2.html -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

I deleted the list as well, and recreated it with the same name -- and the error repeated. I created a list with a different name, and there's no error. I must have really screwed something up in dovecot. Happily, this is a small list, so I'll just migrate everybody to the newly named "listname2". So.. as an aside, it was a bit of a hassle to copy and paste all the usernames from the "Users" list in Postorius to the "Mass subscribe." The only way I could see to do it was copy and paste them one at a time. That worked OK for me, since it's a small list, but that made me wonder if there was a way to select, say, 100 users out of Users and subscribe them all to a list. billo

The webserver is Nginx. > Not sure if this is a Mailman 3 issue or not. It is unlikely that this has anything to do with Mailman. The faster access after first time is probably due to local caching of DNS entries. Try checking your DNS servers for the domains and how long they take to respond. Your browser is probably just waiting more for DNS response. Mailman should be responding with similar lag for all the domains. > > Brian > _______________________________________________ > 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)
