Sorry but I can only see: - “--- Set member moderation ---” (non selectable, I guess) - “Hold for moderation” - “Reject (with notification)” - “Discard (no notification)” - “Accept immediately (bypass other rules)” - “Default processing” and cannot see how I can at the same time “Discard (no notification)” and “Banish the email of the post's sender”.

[MM3-users]Incorrect URLs

by Mark Sapiro

There are various URLs exposed in various emails from the list, many of which are wrong. The underlying issue is there are generic replacements such as $listinfo_uri and $user_options_uri in various templates such as the welcome.txt list welcome message and the footer-generic.txt message and digest footer. Now that the Mailman 3 core engine has been separated from the web UI, the core doesn't know what these replacements should be and there is not yet an interface to get them from Postorius or whatever the web UI is. In the mean time, I have made list specific versions of welcome.txt (done before announcing the list) and footer-generic.txt (just now) with the correct URLs hard coded. The purpose of this post is two-fold. To explain the issue, and to test the footer. There are probably more of these incorrect replacements and I will fix them as I notice them or they are pointed out to me. Note that I am aware that the https URLs in the List-Subscribe: and List-Unsubscribe: headers added to posts are wrong, but I haven't got a handle on this yet. The mailto: links in those headers are correct as are the Archived-At: and List-Archive: URLs as there is an interface to get those from the archiver. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Re: Adding user - Error 409 Subscription request already pending

by Kevin Hurtley

Thanks Mark, This is sounding like a case of users will be users. As you suggested, I think my moderator is dealing with a user that can't find their confirmation (or understand they need to reply to it). So the moderator tried to override things by trying to add them in by using the "mass subscribe" operation. It sounded on Github that some opinion was that it wasn't necessary to see these pending requests, but as "users will be users" I think would be useful to see what is in queue for subscription requests, it would be better yet to be able to either clear them out or accept them there. But at very least seeing them there would go a long way helping out my moderators troubleshoot. On another request, user found the confirmation email, replied, and was accepted. However that email was several weeks old. So I'm guessing our default for expiration of requests is not the default of 3 days. But I haven't been able to find that setting. Is that in Postorius somewhere or will I need to change with the shell? I wonder if temporarily changing the Subscription Policy to "open" would allow those in pending to be accepted and clear that queue out? Thanks again for the input, much appreciated!

You can look at the commit history of the spanish po file to get a detailed history of when and who made the changes. For example: Core: <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/commits/master/src/mailman/messages/es…> Postorius: <https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/commits/master/src/postorius/locale/…> You find similar histories in all the repos.

Could this be because of the .mo files not being up-to-update? There used to be some strings that were translated incorrectly, but I think we fixed all of those that we found.

I started off without using venvs and ran into several issues, though one of them I think was due to the bundler pulling down an outdated dependency. My next stab at this was going to be using venvs, but creating the venv as the directory /opt/mailman which gives cleaner paths (to my mind anyway), but haven't got round to doing it yet. My main thing when looking at this is how package managers are likely to package Mailman3, especially from a Debian point of view. I know I can't second guess what is going to be done, but would like to try to build using similar goals if possible. Thanks. Andrew.

You'll be surprised, but those mailinglists were not managed by Mailman2 before. They were managed by mlmmj[1]. I wrote a script that converted mlmmj's archive into mbox format, and then used the "hyperkitty_import" command as explained by the Hyperkitty manual[2]. This worked surprisingly well. As for the subscribers, Mailman 3's Postorius has a mass-subscription facility in the admin interface. I extracted the list of all subscriber emails from the mlmmj mailinglist and used that mass-subscription facility to subscribe people again. There's an option to disable delivery of the welcome email that should be ticked before this I guess, though. It can be reset afterwards again.

Its also possible to install an older version of Cryptography before installing Mailman dependencies which doesn't require this. Version 3.3.2 is the version I have been using recently at work. On a side note I have been experimenting with using underlying Debian packages for some of the Python dependencies and using the --system-site-packages option when creating the venv to simplify installation and reduce the number of compilation tools required on the system.

Re: Mailing list welcome message won't update

I only thought you might be testing by using `mailman` commands to add a member and if so and if the command is not run as user `list`, it might not have access to read the template. If you are (un)subscribing via Postorius or via email these are handled by Mailman runner processes which should all be running as user `list` and should have access to the template. So, as I said, I don't know what the issue is unless it is something with your Debian package which is ancient. Even Debian buster has mailman core 3.2.1. Does your empty list:member:generic:footer.txt work to not add any footer to list messages? If so, I can't think of any reason why your list:user:notice:welcome.txt wouldn't be used. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

This is because of the domain change. In settings(_local).py you have a setting for SITE_ID. Possibly, setting that in settings_local.py to a value one greater that the current setting will do. To be certain of the correct value, you need to look at the django_site table in mailman's database. That table has 3 columns, id, domain and name.

This is really a Django/allauth question. I strongly recommend you ask there. Maybe Mark knows more, but my own experience with it is limited, and the client specified the setup, I just implemented it. > I did see that there is the SOCALACCOUNT_ONLY option, as provided > by allauth > (https://docs.allauth.org/en/latest/socialaccount/configuration.html) > but that broke any attempt to display the sign in page, My experience was using Shibboleth to authenticate to Apache, require authenticated user for all Mailman and Django locations, and Apache would communicate the authenticated user ID directly to Postorius. You could visit the page, but because you were already authenticated, you had to log out to log in. But -- Catch-22 -- that access would go through Apache and log you in. > assuming [SOCIALACCOUNT_ONLY] is not supported with the current > version of MM3. AFAIK, there's no code in Postorius that's specific to processing authentication -- that's all done by Django or Django plugins, and controlled by the standard Django and allauth parameters. So it's not something Mailman is related to supporting. This is a question of what allauth, and possibly Django core, supports. It's possible that Mailman defaults to a configuration that messes up Django's support, but if so I would bet that somebody with deep knowledge of how allauth works could tell you how to get the effect you want. > Is my plan to modify the templates viable? It's not clear what your goal is. If it's just to keep typical users on the straight and narrow, yes, that should work. But as far as I know, a competent user who is mischievous or malicious can probably craft requests to successfully access any locations that are not disabled in code or protected by the frontend webserver. Disabling the signup adapter will definitely make mischief much harder, but I can't promise it's impossible. But if you have a SSO system with an organization-specific IDP or a database of 3rd-party accounts with Google or whatever, I would think you'd want to use that as the source of ground truth directly, as I described my experience above, rather than creating a separate credientials database in Django. > Given the discussions on disabling the anonymous subscription form, > are the email commands a less spam-susceptible solution or are they > just as vulnerable as the form? The whole point of email commands was to allow anonymous signups (more precisely, pseudonymous signups tied to a mailbox). If you don't want "anonymous" signups, you don't want to enable the email commands.
