I had something similar to this and it was because the message files relating to the particular held message had been deleted from the file system but were still referenced in the database when I moved to a new server a while back. In my case I fixed the problem by copying a valid held message file to the location where the referenced message should be and was able to delete it via the web interface. This is a hacky workaround but was sufficient to get me through my mistake. This may not be the case of course but you should find more info in the Mailman logs itself on the server, not sure where those are by default on the Debian package. Thanks. Andrew.

Assuming your Mailman core version is 3.3.5 and Postorius is 1.3.6, you will see settings like `Notify owner on bounce increment`, ` Notify owner on disable` and `Notify owner on removal` under `Bounce Processing`. Presumable you did get the notification of removal, so delivery to the owner works. Are the increment and disable (or maybe just disable if your versions are older) notices set to Yes? > So, I decided to try that.

ANNOUNCE: Mailman 3.1.0 final!

by Barry Warsaw

Hello Mailpeople! On behalf of the entire team and all our wonderful contributors, I'm happy to announce the release of GNU Mailman 3.1 final. My deep thanks go to all the Mailman project sprinters at Pycon 2017 for getting us over the line! Two years after the original release of Mailman 3.0, this version contains a huge number of improvements across the entire stack. Many bugs have been fixed and new features added in the Core, Postorius (web u/i), and HyperKitty (archiver). Upgrading from Mailman 2.1 should be better too. We are seeing more production sites adopt Mailman 3, and we've been getting great feedback as these have rolled out. Important: mailman-bundler, our previous recommended way of deploying Mailman 3, has been deprecated. Abhilash Raj is putting the finishing touches on Docker images to deploy everything, and he'll have a further announcement in a week or two. Feedback is welcome: https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman What is GNU Mailman? GNU Mailman is free software for managing electronic mail discussion and e-newsletter lists. Mailman is integrated with the web, making it easy for users to manage their accounts and for list owners to administer their lists. Mailman supports built-in archiving, automatic bounce processing, content filtering, digest delivery, and more. Mailman 3 is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 3. The best places to start for all things related to this release: http://docs.mailman3.org/ http://www.list.org/ https://gitlab.com/mailman (Note: due to timezone skew, some of the tarballs may not be available on PyPI until tomorrow.) Happy Mailman Day, -Your friendly neighborhood cabal An overview of what's new in Mailman 3.1 ======================================== Feature parity with Mailman 2.1 ------------------------------- * You should be able to do just about everything that you could do in Mailman 2.1 *except* for topics and sibling/umbrella lists. Core ---- * Added support for Python 3.5 and 3.6 * MySQL is now an officially supported database * Many improvements with importing Mailman 2.1 lists * DMARC mitigations have been added, based on, but different than the same feature in Mailman 2.1 * The REST API requires HTTP/1.1 * A new REST API version (3.1) has been added which changes how UUIDs are interpreted, fixing the problem for some JavaScript libraries * Many new REST resources and methods have been added * Individual mailing lists can augment the system's header matching rules * `mailman create` now creates missing domains by default * `mailman digests` now has `--verbose` and `--dry-run` options * `mailman shell` now supports readline history * `mailman members` can filter members based on their subscription roles * A new template system has been added for all messages originating from inside Mailman. * The Message-ID-Hash header replaces X-Message-ID-Hash * New placeholders have been added for headers and footers * Unsubscriptions can now be confirmed and/or moderated Postorius/HyperKitty -------------------- * General U/I and U/X improvements * Many more features from the Core's have been plumbed through * We've adopted Django social auth logins and dropped Persona (since it's no longer supported upstream). You can now log in via Facebook, Google, GitHub, and GitLab. Backward incompatibilities -------------------------- * Core/REST: Held message resources now have an `original_subject` key that is not RFC 2047 decoded. `subject` is now RFC 2047 decoded. * Core/REST: If you've run pre-release versions from git head, and stored welcome and goodbye templates via REST, the template key names have changed backward incompatibility.

Thanks Steve, Generally I just found the mailman shell examples in the documentation lacking, as: * it used functions not available without loading additional modules not listed in the documentation * the steps to find accounts is lacking, since they don't work for email addresses that are not yet verified * I could find no documentation on what fields are available in the user object, so I was unable to find the account via other methods, including the actual username created by mailman3 (which seems odd, wouldn't this be a standard way to find users..?) The Django UI is the only thing that let me find the miscreated user and delete it. Hopefully the bug I filed about github user integration being badly broken will receive some priority, given the bug causes new accounts to incorrectly be created for existing users. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Product Architect Symas Corporation Packaged, certified, and supported LDAP solutions powered by OpenLDAP: <http://www.symas.com>

Programmatic Creation of Users

by jciesla＠techsupportme.com

I am returning to Mailman after being away for a LONG time and I need to create 40 lists with ~350 subscribers spread across those lists. After a lot of testing I am now able to create users from the Core Shell and set (most of) the necessary values. Having jumped that hurdle I have hit a roadblock and I am hoping that the list can provide some insight and/or solutions. After a lot of research I now understand that what I am doing in the Core Shell is creating a User entity which has one or more email addresses as well as one or more roles and preferences that exist at the global level. This user entity can Subscribe to zero or more lists. If I am incorrect in the summation please let me know! Assuming that the previous information is correct that brings us to my current dilemma. Specifically, the User entity can Subscribe and interact with lists using the email commands, but they can't Login using the Postorius web interface. If I understand correctly the reason that they can't login is that the underlying Django system does not recognize their account because the account that was created in Core isn't accessible by Django. Instead the user needs to create a Django-specific account at which point the information from Core becomes available in the user's web UI. If that is in fact accurate then I want to take the next logical leap: is it possible to programmatically create an account in Django that is tied to the account that was created in Core? Any information is greatly appreciated! -John

HyperKitty failure

Hi, I try to connect mailman3 to hyperkitty, but there is no success so far. You can see the details below. How can I solve the problem?

Re: django fake users

Hello, yes we talk about django users who are not subscribing to any list only to the django user managment. Automatically removing this users like described above with a cron job is a good idea, but i would more like to avoid this users.

What I am seeing here is users signing up through Postorius using the sign up option which then creates an account in Django (but not Mailman).
