Re: Verification emails 'helo' rejected

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.

I would suggest abandoning the Debian packages and installing as documented at <https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html>. You should be able to keep all your existing configuration files and the database. You could even keep `list` as the Mailman user if desired. Once you have done this, upgrading via pip from PyPI or even from GitLab is very simple. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

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.

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.
