Re: Mailman3 not working following distribution upgrade from Debian 10 to 11.

by gordon＠dickens.com

Hello Mark and everyone else, I made significant progress in that I got the web interface working. The file permissions were wrong for the /var/log/mailman3/web directory in that the web directory needs to be writable by www-data (the apache user), Also, the aliases in the Apache configuration needed to be changed to the following: Alias /favicon.ico /var/lib/mailman3/web/static/postorius/img/favicon.ico Alias /static/ /var/lib/mailman3/web/static/ Once I fixed these issues then I was able to successfully access the web interface and login. Now, I am able to access the web interface and I am able to navigate to all of the main links on the top of the main page including: Postorius. Lists, Domains, Bans, System Information, Users and Archives. My only remaining problem is that I cannot access the individual mailing lists. That is, when I navigate a list and click on the list name then my browser displays: "Server error An error occurred while processing your request." Concurrent with the above browser display, mailman3 sends an email to the system admin with the subject: "[Django] ERROR (EXTERNAL IP): Internal Server Error: /mailman3/lists/list_local_name.domain.tld" This email and my logs now complain about: "Internal Server Error: /mailman3/lists/list_local_name.domain.tld/ MultipleObjectsReturned at /mailman3/lists/list_local_name.domain.tld/ get() returned more than one EmailAddress -- it returned 3!" Also, I get the same errors after I create a new mailing list as well. I hope that Mark and/or somebody here can offer up suggestions on what I need to do to fix this. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated! Thanks, Gordon

Archive Policy not reflecting in Hyperkitty

by Nathan Dixon

So the issue I am seeing is that when I set a lists archive policy to prviate, it isn't reflecting that in Hyperkitty. I am running the docker installation of Mailman, postorius and hyperkitty. So I go into the docker instance of mailman-core and run this: python3 manage.py shell from hyperkitty.models.mailinglist import MailingList MailingList.objects.all().values_list('name', 'archive_policy') And all my lists are showing '2', regardless of how I set the mailing list archive policy. This might be a duplicate of https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… Am I missing something in my install? Or is this a bug?

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.

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 ?

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

Thanks. This still isn't working as intended. I took these steps: 1. Created the file '/opt/mailman/mm/var/templates/lists/test.lists.domain.tld/en/list:admin:action:pending.txt' with these contents (minus the hyphens top and bottom): ---------- The $listname list has $count moderation requests waiting. $data At your convenience, visit: https://${domain}/mailman3/lists/${short_listname}.${domain}/ to approve or deny the request. ---------- 2. Restarted the mailman3 and mailmanweb services 3. As the mailman user, ran the command 'mailman notify -l test.lists.domain.tld -v' This generated an email message but its contents were the same as in my previous post: ---------- The test(a)lists.domain.tld list has 1 moderation requests waiting. Held Subscriptions: User: letmein(a)domain.tld Please attend to this at your earliest convenience. ---------- What I'm trying to do here is replicate a feature from MM2.1, where pending notifications had URLs embedded in the message. That's not available out of the box in MM3, and if there's a place for feature requests I'd be glad to ask that this be made the default. For now, though, I'm looking to get this customization working. Thanks. dn
