That will work and is probably what you want anyway. Your own posts will also be held, but you can just accept them. Alternatively, you could set your own Moderation setting to Accept or Default Processing so your posts won't be held, but don't do that as it allows anyone to post by spoofing your address in From:, Sender: or Reply-To: or the envelope sender. The best way to post without the post being held is pre-approval with an Approved: <password> header, where <password> is the list's moderator_password, but you can't set that in postorius so it won't work for you. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Mailman 3 Container Images v0.1

by Abhilash Raj

Hi Everyone, I have been working on containerizing Mailman 3 so that it becomes easier to test and try Mailman 3. There are two images in total: * maxking/mailman-core : This consists of Mailman Core and includes the plugin to enable the Hyperkitty Archiver. * maxking/mailman-web : This consists of a full Django installation and run the Mailman's Web UI components. It has Mailman Client, Postorius & Hyperkitty. The images are built from the Dockerfiles hosted on Github[3] in case you want to look at it. You can find most of the documentation about these images at https://asynchronous.in/docker-mailman/. The version of the internal components included in each image is available here[7]. The images are versioned and the process is documented[4], please have a look before you use them. Also, the images are signed and I encourage you to verify them before using. The process of how-to verify is also documented. Docker Compose is a tool written in Python makes is very easy to deploy connected-images and take the pain out of writing long long commands for spinning of containers. There is a sample `docker-compose.yml` file in the Github repository mentioned above which is kind-of tested to be able to spin off these images in vanilla condition (without any customization/configuration). You can report issues, comments or concerns in the Github repo[6].

The current implementation of Mailman is good for vertical scaling but not that great for horizontal scaling and redundancy. The web frontend, Postorius & Hyperkitty, are pretty much stateless and can be horizontally scaled and redundantly deployed easily. I am not going to recommend how to handle redundancy for database, because I am not the best person for that and I honestly don't know anything beyond using a "cloud managed" database from cloud providers for HA. Mailman Core is a bit hard to run redundantly mostly because of it's reliance on filesystem for some data like email queues, held messages, shunted messages etc. You can potentially have two running instances, one on standby and failover to other instance. You'd need to synchronize the var directory between them using *some* mechanism, rsync or NFS or something. Although, you want to make sure that they both aren't sending out emails at the same time. > Thanks! > Paweł > _______________________________________________ > 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)

If so, that is a real mystery. It > says mailman-hyperkitty can talk to hyperkitty and archive new messages, > but it can't talk to hyperkitty when attempting to process a queued > message. Ahhh! I had convinced myself that new messages were being archived, but now that you ask, they ARE NOT. I may have said they were at some point, and I apologize if I did. Now I feel less confused. It appears that archiving stopped when I did the migration from "Debian package layout" to "source layout" and upgraded to V3.3.8. I'll bet I munged a config file or two. I was struggling with what to keep from Debian layout and what to bring over from the source install instructions and I haven't gone back through to clean them up. I had previously figured it could not be a configuration issue since some messages were making it into the archive and some were not, but now that I see NONE are making it, this makes the problem less daunting. >> Following is an excerpt from mailman.log.

I see many ursl.py files all over the system, but none that appear to be where I'd expect them to be for processing by any executables. Is this a file I should have copied over and edited, or created from scratch and somehow missed?

And those will also become out of date over time, because Debian is a stable server distribution so intentionally freezes the versions of software it supplies and backports only critical/security fixes to those increasingly outdated versions when warranted. Basically it's a question of whether users value stability with a bit of security support over newest versions of software and new features. The upstream Mailman packages on PyPI (and container images) cater to users who want the latest versions of the software, packages in stable server distros like Debian cater to users who want to safely go years between behavior changes in software. Both are valid choices, it just comes down to the user's specific situation. That said, when you have trouble with the packaged versions of software in Debian, the expectation is that you ask on Debian mailing lists and possibly report bugs in the Debian bug tracker, rather than burdening upstream software maintainers with details that might be specific to choices or mistakes in Debian's packages. The package maintainers in Debian generally forward bug reports upstream if they determine the issue you've encountered isn't related to how it's been packaged, isn't already fixed upstream (in which case they might backport the fix), et cetera. -- Jeremy Stanley

The only thing gained by adding a nonmember is the ability to set the nonmember's moderation action to other than the default, and you can handle that with the legacy * these non-members settings which take priority over the nonmember's moderation action anyway. Note that if a nonmember posts to a list, she will automatically be added to the list as a nonmember with default moderation action if she isn't one of the list's nonmembers already. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
