Urgent help needed...

by Darren Smith

Hello, This morning our Mailman 3/Hyperkitty/Postorius installation has become unresponsive. When looking at the machine, postgres is pegging all 4 CPUs on the machine. We did some digging in postgres, and here is the query that is causing problems: "SELECT hyperkitty_email.date FROM hyperkitty_email WHERE hyperkitty_email.mailinglist_id = 'fooey(a)rootsweb.com' ORDER BY hyperkitty_email.date ASC LIMIT 1;" We have found that it doesn't matter what mailinglist_id is being used. We have also found that this might be an issue with the LIMIT 1 - our investigation is showing that using LIMIT 1 in postgres makes things execute very differently than if you use a limit 2 or more, and that this is probably what is going on. Basically, every time this gets called, it pegs an entire CPU for 20-30 seconds. It appears to be called a LOT. So our users are getting 504 gateway timeouts right now. What has changed: We have been in the process of importing our 40 million archived emails from our old mailman 2 archives. Questions: 1) We have tried doing a grep in the codebase - mailman3, hyperkitty, postorius, django - basically anything that might be calling this code, but we can't find it. Does anyone know what generates this query? 2) We are positing that it might be our archive imports that are causing this problem. Does anyone know of any sort of limit/threshold that might cause this to go haywire? Any help you can give, any direction you can point us would be useful. Right now our lists are just down for our users. Thank you, Darren

Then, if a post to the list contains Approved: xxx123 either as a header in the message (recommended if possible) or as the first non-blank line in the first text/plain part of the message, the post will be 'pre-approved'. The header can actually be any of Approve:, Approved:, X-Approve: or X-Approved: and if it is not a header, but is found in the first text/plain part of the message, it will be removed from that part and a best effort will be made to remove it from other text/* body parts in case it is also in an alternative part. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Re: How to remove Held Unsubscriptions

by Jered Floyd

What version are you running? It looks like this was added in Postorius 1.3.5. To confirm a request for unsubscription before that version requires using the shell or REST API, as described in https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… Copying for convenience: # mailman shell -l listname(a)domain.com Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell Use commit() to commit changes. Use abort() to discard changes since the last commit. Exit with ctrl+D does an implicit commit() but exit() does not.

They HAVE to be registered users > of Postorius/Affinity in order to manage/moderate a list. Here's a thought. For Affinity/Empathy at least, how about using Mailman core's user as the Affinity registered user. I.e., if someone's first interaction is to register with Affinity, have that registration create a core user to keep the Affinity registration data. This core user already accommodates a display_name and password and email address(es). If the person already is a core user when registering for Affinity, just update the core user as needed, probably only a password reset or just setting it if it is currently None. Then you don't have the issue of another, separate registration for Affinity. This would be more difficult for Postorius/Hyperkitty because those users are Django users, but that isn't an issue for Affinity. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Re: Mailman notify generating emails for request that aren't visible.

by Simon Coggins

Thats part of the issue. It looks like these are in the PendingsDB but not showing up in the UI. Even if I go into Subscription Requests -> Pending Approvals or Pending Confirmations no pending items are shown at all. But in the pendingDB via mailman shell I can see 3 pending unsubscriptions. -Simon --- [https://www.cqu.edu.au/] Mr Simon Coggins Principal Systems Engineer | Digital Services Directorate CQUniversity Australia, Level 6.14, 160 Ann Street, Brisbane, QLD 4000 P +61 7 3295 1182 | X 51182 | M +61 408 115 861 | E s.coggins(a)cqu.edu.au<mailto:s.coggins@cqu.edu.au> [https://www.cqu.edu.au/social-media] I respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and learn, and pay respect to the First Nations Peoples and their Elders, past, present and future.

mailman3-web postorious error "invalid request block size: 14056 (max 4096)...skip"

by Frederik

Until about one month ago, I had mailman3 and mailman3-web successfully running on Debian 12. However, when I access any page such as https://example.com/mailman3/postorius/lists/ now, I just get a 500 server error. /var/log/mailman3/web/mailman-web.log logs this at every request: invalid request block size: 14056 (max 4096)...skip I read somewhere that adding buffer-size = 65536 to uwsgi.ini might help. It indeed makes a difference, but unfortunately I just get another error instead: [pid: 4067215|app: -1|req: -1/1] () {256 vars in 14055 bytes} [Tue Jan 28 18:06:30 2025] => generated 0 bytes in 0 msecs ( 500) 0 headers in 0 bytes (1 switches on core 0) There are no other errors in the logs. I proxy mailman in Apache like this: Alias /mailman3/favicon.ico /var/lib/mailman3/web/static/postorius/img/favicon.ico Alias /mailman3/static /var/lib/mailman3/web/static <Directory "/var/lib/mailman3/web/static"> Require all granted </Directory> <IfModule mod_proxy_uwsgi.c> ProxyPass /mailman3/favicon.ico ! ProxyPass /mailman3/static ! ProxyPass /mailman3 unix:/run/mailman3-web/uwsgi.sock|uwsgi://localhost-mailman3/ </IfModule> and mailman3's uwsgi.ini looks like this: [uwsgi] uwsgi-socket = /run/mailman3-web/uwsgi.sock enable-threads = true chdir = /usr/share/mailman3-web wsgi-file = wsgi.py master = true process = 2 threads = 2 uid = www-data gid = www-data env = HOME=/tmp plugins = python3 attach-daemon = python3 manage.py qcluster logto = /var/log/mailman3/web/mailman-web.log buffer-size = 65536 Any idea what could be wrong or how to debug this further? I'm using mailman3-full 3.3.8-2~deb12u2 and mailman3-web 0+20240312-1 packages.

Re: Manage Member(s) Mailman Settings / Display Names

by Jim Ward

I will admit I was partial to the MM 2.1 columns and checkboxes but the end result is the same, HOWEVER: 1) The member 'Display Name' does not seem to be available to be managed by me the domain/list administrator. 2) The 'Search Members' function appears to be limited to the email address only and does not include display name These items are important to me as the list I am running includes many that are not, nor will they really ever be, technically savvy enough to access and manage their own account. ________________________________ From: Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> Sent: Friday, January 10, 2020 7:05 PM To: mailman-users(a)mailman3.org <mailman-users(a)mailman3.org> Subject: [MM3-users] Re: Manage Member(s) Mailman Settings / Display Names On 1/10/20 4:55 PM, Jim Ward wrote: > Mailman2 allowed me to list my members and modify a number of their attributes (display_name, etc) > > Postorius is a beautiful interface BUT I am evidently not finding how to manage my members to the extent that I could in Mailman2 It's not like MM 2.1 where you have a membership list with columns of checkboxes, but if you pull down the Users menu and select Members or Non-Members, each user has an options link that allows you to set/change options. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Re: EMWD/Affinity/Empathy in 2023

It wasn't clear to me if EMWD is still an active business and Affinity and Empathy are still active offerings. Does anyone here have any direct contact/relationship/experience with EMWD/Affinity/Empathy following the owner's passing? Or knowledge of any other offerings publicly available today that are similar to Affinity/Empathy? I have had some contact, but not much. As far as I know, they are still in business and offering list hosting including Mailman 3 lists with Affinity and Empathy. They no longer offer support for installation and maintenance of Mailman on other people's servers. When we first were developing Mailman 3, we designed it in a modular fashion with a REST API for the core engine so that users who were so inclined could develop their own web UIs for archiving and list management. We also recognized that we needed to develop our own to make a complete package. Thus, we developed HyperKitty and Postorius for that, but we have always hoped that the community would develop others (hopefully open source and Python based). As far as I know, it was only EMWD that did this and for business reasons, kept it proprietary. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

This is a bug. Currently only `mailman create` sends this notice, but as you note, list creation via rest should do it too.
