Progress! It now works if the template information is removed from BOTH database tables (mailmanweb.postorius_emailtemplate and mailman.templates). Just removing the row from the "mailmanweb.postorius_emailtemplate" table and changing the URI to "file:///opt/mailman/mm/var/templates/lists/testlist.example.com/en/list:use…" in mailman.templates didn't help. So now, with both databases cleared, mailman looks for the updated file without any problems. Thank you very much Mark, once again, for your solid advice and patience. Best, Mark

These dns names are setup by default if you are using the docker-compose.yaml provided with the repo, but would otherwise needs either changing the value of POSTORIUS_TEMPLATES_BASE_URL or manually setting up the mailman-web DNS in the `/etc/host` of the mailman-core container. > Telnet isn’t included in the container, so I tested with curl: > >> $ sudo docker exec -it -u mailman mailman-core bash >> bash-5.0$ grep mailman-web /etc/hosts >> bash-5.0$ curl http://mailman-web:8000 >> bash-5.0$ > > mailman-web does not seem to be in /etc/hosts of mailman-core, but it does resolve and port 8000 is reachable. (I tested with a bad hostname and a different port and did get error messages.) Is there a URL I can pull that will show that it’s working properly? Can you run this command (replacing the mailing list's id and name of the template correctly) from mailman-core container and see if you get the template's text as the right response: $ curl -L http://mailman-web:8000/postorius/api/templates/list/users.example.com/list… > > My original (slightly censored) docker-compose.yaml file is below.

I'm not sure what you are looking at, but when you receive that message, it means the user's Delivery status has been set to Disabled by Bounces and the user will be sent `Bounce disable warnings` (default 3) warnings at intervals of `Bounce disabled warnings interval` (default 7 days) and if nothing is done the user will then be removed from the list. The notice you received, at least since Mailman 3.3.5, should contain a copy of the bounce DSN so you can determine if this user's address is actually undeliverable. Settings that control this are in the Postorius admin UI under Bounce Processing. The only other control is in mailman.cfg in the [mta] section where you can set `verp_probes: yes` See the docs at https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/build/lib/mailman/mode… -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Re: Mailman 3 installation, no mails in hyperkitty, unable to add footer.

by Ugnius

Mark, Thank You for your guidance. Yes, seems my installed mailman3 package is not full. I have tried to install it on my Debian 9, but I got package broken error and all possible proposals how to fix it did not help. But it is normal - official OS version 9 has no this package included. Then I have decided to play on another machine where is installed Debian 10. I have successfully installed mailman3-full. It already came pre-configured with keys included. Mailman3-web packige was something new for me. I understand it replaces mailman- suite, but like I did not find where to read about it, I did not find how to open the administration or postorius site.

Re: templates

by Odhiambo Washington

Isn't that the same thing as not having them in the FS? I read (and asked questions about) templates almost 10x before I got to understand the locations and how MM uses them. It's not easy to understand the ones in the FS while the ones in the DB are easy. Then again, one needs to know that Postorius only writes to the DB.

I'm pretty sure you would save up to 1.5GB by switching to gunicorn vs the uwsgi configuration you have. But the uswgi project has acquired functionality the way systemd has over the last few years. It seems likely that you could configure it to save a lot of memory by removing functionality you don't use. Not sure whether than involves recompiling or just disabling unused plugins, I'm not really familiar with uwsgi, since even for the largest instances I've seen gunicorn is sufficiently performant and secure. The MySQL footprint also seems a bit high. but not insane, my PostgreSQL weighs in at about 1.2GB-1.5GB. Overall, you don't have an insane configuration, but it depends on what you're optimizing for. -- GNU Mailman consultant (installation, migration, customization) Sirius Open Source https://www.siriusopensource.com/ Software systems consulting in Europe, North America, and Japan
