At what juncture during the installation do you do this renaming? 2. Where is this directory? On my setup, I have no such directory - but I could be missing something in the install process, maybe.. root@debian10:/opt/mailman# pwd /opt/mailmanroot@debian10:/opt/mailman# *find . -type d -name sites* ./mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/jedi/third_party/django-stubs/django-stubs/contrib/sites ./mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/contrib/sites Do you find anything amiss with this HOWTO - https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Howto_Install_Mailman3_On_Debian10 ?? I find the guide rather straight and clear. It's the one I am following - almost to the letter - except for the fact that I am using Apache+mod_wsgi+MySQL+Exim instead. I have configs in place by the time I run 'mailman info' portion. But then again, when I run this command, I don't like what it prints because I see some reference to sqlite. As it is, I believe my problem lies elsewhere, not possible to solve with your rename option. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft.", grep ^[^#] :-)

Any guesses or clues? Where is this default footer.txt hiding anyway? Changing languages in postorius works fine and it alters between english, german etc... just won't use our custom footer.txt The default templates are in the mailman/templates/ directory where the mailman/ directory is where all the Mailman core software is.

Problems configuring hyperkitty

by Alain D D Williams

I am having another go at installing mailman3 - I seem to have mailman3 & postorius working - although basic testing, much more needed to confirm that I understand it. I want to get hyperkitty working before I start full testing. I am running Debian 12 - Bookworm and have installed the Debian packages. The database is Mysql. This is not a virtualenv setup. There is no documentation in the hyperkitty package so I am following: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/hyperkitty/en/latest/install.html I read the following: "The database can be created with the following command: django-admin migrate --pythonpath example_project --settings settings " I assume that that will create some database tables. Hopefully this will have been done by installing package python3-mailman-hyperkitty. • What database & tables will that be ? It would be really useful to be told so that I can check. • The config file is: /etc/mailman3/mailman-hyperkitty.cfg This does not contain any comment about databases. Where does hyperkitty get its database parameters from ? • I have several different maildomains each with several lists. Some lists in different domains have the same name. Do I need a different example_project/settings.py for each domain, if so what changes ? One of the next things that I will need to do is to import archives from mailman2. How does the command below change for the different domains ? django-admin hyperkitty_import --pythonpath example_project --settings settings -l ADDRESS mbox_file [mbox_file ...] Is there some better documentation that I have failed to find ?

We were thinking of using plain .po-files too, however, we couldn't find the matching "src" folder in our installation, do you have any more details where it or the .po-files may also be located?

Proper permissions for mailman installation under home directory, with layout: local

by Eric Abrahamsen

I recently upgraded my server from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04, and have hit some snags in the process. I've had my mailman3 installation under my home directory, running as my own user, without too many problems. var_dir was set to something in my home directory. Recently, while tracking down some weird behavior, I realized that with this sort of setup I'm supposed to use "layout: local", and that previously I'd had a sort of weird half-way installation where some things were kept in my /home/<me>/sites/mailman directory, and other bits (pids and whatnot) were scattered around the filesystem. Now that I'm using "layout: local", mailman really is trying to keep everything under that main directory, and now everything's breaking. The hyperkitty search indexer is saying it has no permissions to write into that directory, postfix won't deliver mail, saying the mailbox is unavailable, and in the web UI postorius shows no configured list domains (though hyperkitty still displays the archives correctly). So obviously I've got quite a big problem with permissions, but I don't know how to resolve it. My webserver is nginx, running as www-data. I'm starting mailman in a systemd script, with User and Group set to my user -- though maybe that should be set to root? I guess postfix runs as root, I'm not sure, but obviously it's not able to read the files in var/data/*, which appear all correct to me. What's the recommended solution here? I'd still like to keep this whole directory under my home directory, if possible... Thanks, Eric

Does anyone know what generates this query? It looks like the query is to get the date from the last email for a mailinglist. AFAIK Hyperkitty checks this when new emails get it (maybe even during import) It could also relate to the "active" state of mailinglists...

Re: Disabling "delete account" option

by Jered Floyd

Hi Hitachi, There was a recent list message on the ways you can modify Mailman to hide or disable account deletion, escalating from "hide it with CSS" to disabling the REST endpoint -- I will forward it to you direct if I can quickly find it. I would suggest, however, that preventing a user from deleting their own account is generally undesirable, and may be restricted by local regulation. I believe there is an "are you sure" confirmation step, so I struggle to imagine a case where this was done accidentally....

Re: Change Member's Address

dap1--- via Mailman-users writes: > Stephen: I will be collecting the information requested. However, > the address "xxxxxxxx" is the superuser that lets me log in. "uuuu" > is/are the address of the superuser I can't confirm. Usually there's only one superuser account. There's no reason not to have more than one. Caveat, I've always used SQL UPDATE to toggle the superuser and staff bits on an existing account. But I would imagine using createsuperuser to make the additional superuser accounts would work as well. I do not understand how you created two instances of the "uuuu" address and linked user accounts. Maybe there's some kind of race condition > It does not appear that "uuuu" is in the address table. That's definitely possible. It's probably just because it's never been used to attempt to post or be a member (including owner or moderator) of a list. Mailman core manages that table. I don't think Postorius updates it except as a side effect of creating list members, which is does through a proxy object which manages a core User object accessed via the REST API. > As for the unexplained addresses in there, mailman2 does not use > mysql, does it? No, Mailman 2 does not use SQL. But if you ever tried to migrate the list, the mailman2 addresses and subscriptions would be in Mailman 3's MySQL database until explicitly deleted or the database dropped, even if you deleted the original Mailman 3 installation and reinstalled. -- GNU Mailman consultant (installation, migration, customization) Sirius Open Source https://www.siriusopensource.com/ Software systems consulting in Europe, North America, and Japan
