I can only speak for my own application of MM3: Desiring consistency between the lists, I don’t want to turn all the moderators into owners who can change list settings. Many of my moderators keep asking me to see the list of members and to subscribe and remove members. I end up servicing those requests. So... a. Moderators should be able to unsubscribe and subscribe members. b. Moderators should be able to set the member’s moderation status. c. Moderators should not be able to see/modify any other member settings. > > >> A feature request: Member changing email address on all lists he/she belongs to, without involving moderators. > > > This is <https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/issues/399> and we're > working on it.

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character

by Marvin Gülker

Hi, I've accidentally sent from an unregisted address to one of my lists. Mailman correctly held the message back for moderation, but when I go to the page for held messages in postorios, I receive a 500 error. I've included an except from the log below. To me, it looks as if it errors on processing my last name (which has a non-ascii character in it). This is Postorius 1.1.2 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS from the repos. I've searched on the tracker for the problem and found one ticket[1], but it has something with logging so I suppose this is a different problem. Ideas? And how do I discard the message without access to the held messages page? Python version is 3.6.8.

Re: Turn off social logins?

by Stephen J. Turnbull

Note: I've changed the order of sentences from Torge's post to fit my responses. Torge Riedel writes: > I do agree, same here on my side. Lot's of my users are very > "sensitive" to social media and don't want see them here. This is the first I've heard of this. Obviously it's fairly widespread; *please* speak up if anyone have similar issues that we haven't addressed. AFAIK all of the currently active Mailman developers believe that social auth is a GoodThang[tm], so we're unlikely to DTRT as you see it without your help. > I need to migrate from mailman2 to mailman3 and was wondering why > social accounts are enabled by default By default Mailman 3 is social media: you have a profile, you can be searched in the indicies of the archives, and so on. The large auth providers provide more secure authentication, and a lot of convenience for users who have such accounts already. They also take some administrative burden off the list and site managers when people lose their passwords and forget what their subscription address is, and similar scenarios. Clearly, these are not universally-valued features, but I think that they justify the current defaults. > and are difficult to disable. They're easy enough to disable (easy to recognize and just add a hash character in front), since you have to edit settings_local.py to install anyway. If you're using a packaged version and the package configuration utility doesn't handle it, there's nothing we can do about it. The distro will have to deal with that. It should be better documented, I imagine (haven't checked yet). > I propose something like an additional setting listing the enabled > social accounts. Do you mean in the Postorius administration interface? If so, do you want it by-site, by-domain, or by-list? ("You" is everybody who wants to disable social auth, not just Torge!) If you mean in settings_local.py, I suggested something similar earlier. It's not obvious it would be easy to do (sometimes these things are order-dependent, though that's bad practice). > And if the admin is setting this to an empty value in the > settings_local.py everything is disabled Because the settings are a Python module, this is the way settings_local.py works anyway. That's why Mark suggested editing INSTALLED_APPS.

Has that feature been added just recently, and we are missing out (since we are using the apt packages from ubuntu)? You are probably on an old version of Mailman which didn't expose the values in API and also Postorius didn't expose it in UI. You can install a new version manually by downloading new debs from Debian unstable repos (I don't know if Ubuntu just copies the ones from Debian or has their own packaging, I think it is former) that have newer built debs. On your version, you probably would be able to set the accept_these_nonmembers using the command line using ``` mailman withlist -l test(a)example.com Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell Use commit() to commit changes. Use abort() to discard changes since the last commit. Exit with ctrl+D does an implicit commit() but exit() does not. The variable 'm' is the test(a)example.com mailing list >>> m.accept_these_nonmembers ['*.example.com'] >>> m.accept_these_nonmembers = [r'*.example.com'] >>> commit() >>> quit() ``` -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

Is there a specific reason that you chose to go with an entirely new doc rather than helping to improve the existing one? Several parts of it (at least the ones that official guide covers) seems similar to me and is duplicate information that at least two people are going to spend time writing and maintaining in future.

Request for help debugging a hyperkitty connection issue

by Stephen Daniel

Mailman folk -- I've recently completed a complete install of the mailman3 suite on a Debian VM in Google Cloud (GCP). I used the excellent directions given here: https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Howto_Install_Mailman3_On_Debian10 Most things appear to work. Postorius is working, and I can create accounts, email lists, etc. I have two problems. One is with getting list mail out of GCP. I am working on that. The issue I don't know how to address is a problem with hyperkitty. Nothing is being archived. When I send an email through my test list, this message shows up in the mailman log: Jan 04 11:57:26 2022 (806) Exception in "hyperkitty" archiver Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/urllib3/connection.py", line 175, in _new_conn (self._dns_host, self.port), self.timeout, **extra_kw File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/urllib3/util/connection.py", line 73, in create_connection for res in socket.getaddrinfo(host, port, family, socket.SOCK_STREAM): File "/usr/lib/python3.7/socket.py", line 748, in getaddrinfo for res in _socket.getaddrinfo(host, port, family, type, proto, flags): socket.gaierror: [Errno -2] Name or service not known This triggers a bunch more tracebacks. Then I get this: Jan 04 11:57:27 2022 (797) Connection to HyperKitty failed: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.XXXXX.dev <http://www.xxxxx.dev/>', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /archives/api/mailman/archive (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x7f2114e14e10>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno -2] Name or service not known')) Jan 04 11:57:27 2022 (797) Exception in the HyperKitty archiver: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.XXXXX.dev <http://www.xxxxx.dev/>', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /archives/api/mailman/archive (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x7f2114e14e10>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno -2] Name or service not known')) Jan 04 11:57:27 2022 (797) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/urllib3/connection.py", line 175, in _new_conn (self._dns_host, self.port), self.timeout, **extra_kw File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/urllib3/util/connection.py", line 73, in create_connection for res in socket.getaddrinfo(host, port, family, socket.SOCK_STREAM): File "/usr/lib/python3.7/socket.py", line 748, in getaddrinfo for res in _socket.getaddrinfo(host, port, family, type, proto, flags): socket.gaierror: [Errno -2] Name or service not known I think this second error is just mailman3 reporting that it had trouble with hyperkitty because of the first error. How can I get more information about what connection is being attempted when this failure occurs? Thanks! -- Stephen Daniel

Mark writes: > as I kept getting an error when starting:� > > #django-admin shell > >>> from hyperkitty.models.mailinglist import MailingList > ... > django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured ... This suggests to me that you have multiple versions of Python and/or Django installed. This is an advantage of using a venv -- once activated, you are much more likely to get a well-defined, consistent set of utilities and libraries. By the way, does that # prompt mean you are logged in as root while you're working with Mailman? That is inadvisable, as if you change anything there is a chance that root will be the owner of the file, and the list user will not be able to work with it. Also, if you have mailman-web installed, I recommend using that rather than django-admin or python3 manage.py. Each Django application may have its own copy of django-admin (not usually, but I've seen it happen) and definitely will have its own copy of manage.py. mailman-web knows how to work with both HyperKitty and Postorius without getting confused about that. > Does this (missing list_id) give any clue as to why the > archive-search isn't working, or is just that starting with "# > python3 manage.py shell" is the wrong thing to do? If all you're doing is querying the database, it doesn't really matter how you do this. If you get the right copies of python3, django-admin, and manage-py it's all just going to work. It doesn't matter which utility you start with, it all ends up going through the same Django modules in the end. The process of search index construction is both CPU and wall-clock time intensive. For this reason, the cron jobs that do regular index updating (I think once an hour?) are separate from the utility that constructs the index in the first place when you have existing archives (either migrated from another MLM such as Mailman 2, or if you're upgrading to better archive software). Is it possible that you have most of a bunch of migrated archives indexed because the migration process did it, but that the periodic update process (like cron jobs, but actually run by the Django queue task manager IIRC) is not running, so no new posts are being archived? That fits the symptoms you described so far (that I recall). Steve
