Here's what I mean when I say I'm doing this "in venv" I've become the mailman user: sudo su - mailman The .bashrc for that user includes: source /opt/mailman/venv/bin/activate The prompt has (venv) at the left end of it: (venv) mailman@wz-prd-tpmd-1:~$ All pip commands have been run in this state. I did first install setuptools with apt install python3-setuptools and that installed version 68.1.2-2ubuntu1.2. Note that I'm still not sure the firewall is completely out of the picture, since I do have to include the --trusted-host and --proxy options. Some things install, though, so I think that's OK. When I do this at the (venv) prompt, asking to install both setuptools and mailman-web: pip install --proxy http://webproxyta.westat.com:3128 --trusted-host pypi.org setuptools mailman-web The first line of the output is: Requirement already satisfied: setuptools in ./venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages (80.9.0) And that's followed by downloading (or using a cached version) of 11 items before I get the subprocess error. > I took a look at a fairly recent install of django-haystack, and in the .dist-info it > says the installer is 'pip' rather than 'pip3'.

If not, adding a symlink pip -> pip3 may help. There is no Python2 on the system so I'm pretty sure it's not that.

Weird startup problem after upgrade

by Odhiambo Washington

I am facing an odd situation in which MM3 doesn't start successfully on reboot, but I can start it manually. This is a venv install. This started after I did an upgrade (pip install --upgrade mailman postorius hyperkitty mailman-hyperkitty) followed by the requisite collectstatic|compress|compilemessages|migrate post-update commands. Secondly, it appears that the upgrade did NOT change the versions for the upgraded components - postorius=1.3.6, hyperkitty=1.3.5, Mailman Core Version=3.3.5. I was expecting the version to all bump up to the latest. Thanks in advance for any insights into what could be causing this. wash@lists:~$ systemctl status mailman3 × mailman3.service - GNU Mailing List Manager Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/mailman3.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: timeout) since Fri 2022-12-02 18:58:13 EAT; 9s ago CPU: 25.241s Dec 02 18:58:12 lists mailman[1637]: File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 114, in signal_handler Dec 02 18:58:12 lists mailman[1639]: for atexit_call in reversed(_threading_atexits): Dec 02 18:58:12 lists mailman[1639]: File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 114, in signal_handler Dec 02 18:58:12 lists mailman[1637]: raise RunnerInterrupt Dec 02 18:58:12 lists mailman[1639]: raise RunnerInterrupt Dec 02 18:58:12 lists mailman[1637]: mailman.interfaces.runner.RunnerInterrupt: Dec 02 18:58:12 lists mailman[1639]: mailman.interfaces.runner.RunnerInterrupt: Dec 02 18:58:13 lists systemd[1]: mailman3.service: Failed with result 'timeout'.

Should this directly be cleared as messages are archived? Is there a way to force it to be cleared? /usr/local/mailman3/mm/var/archives/prototype/[listname]@[domain] is a collection of messages in maildir format. This is how the prototype archiver stores messages. This has nothing to do with HyperKitty. It is a separate archiver. If you don't want messages to be stored there, you can disable the prototype archiver for the list by unchecking prototype in Postorius -> Settings -> Archiving -> Active archivers or disable it entirely for the installation by setting ``` [archiver.prototype] enable: no ``` in mailman.cfg > 2) Some messages that arrived while I was having other problems with the setup have been stored in: > > /usr/local/mailman3/mm/var/queue/shunt > > What should I do to get these messages processed?

First examine the messages with ``` mailman qfile /usr/local/mailman3/mm/var/queue/bad/<file> ``` To be sure you want them. Also examine mailman.log for the times they were stored in the `bad` queue. You are looking for 'Skipping and preserving unparseable message: <file>' and/or 'SHUNTING FAILED, preserving original entry: <file> messages and you want to determine which runner preserved the message. There may be a 'whichq' entry in the message's metadata in which case, that's the answer. Once you have determined the queue, you can just move the .psv file from the bad queue to the appropriate queue, renaming it from .psv to .pck in the process. > 4 Modified the template for “list:admin:action:post” through Postorious and emails that arrived after that were put in the “shunt” queue. I traced this problem to POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL. By default, it is set to "http://localhost:8000 <http://localhost:8000/>” which is where uwsgi is listening. However, uwsigi is listening for uwsgi:/ not http://. Should I change POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL to “uwsgi://localhost:8000 <uwsgi://localhost:8000>” or keep http but make it something else? I know little about uwsgi. setting it to `uwsgi://localhost:8000` might work. You could also set it to the base URL that a user would use to access the web UI, e.g. `https://example.com` and that would presumably be proxied to uwsgi. For example, on the server for this list we have ``` POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL = 'https://lists.mailman3.org' ``` which gets proxied to gunicorn, but the idea is the same. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Re: Mailman core: basic internationalization howto?

by thor.rustad＠gmail.com

I made it work, sort of, after creating the directory structure templates/site/no and put the templates inside the 'no' folder. However, I can't make it work without setting the language manually for each list first. New lists are created with English as their language, breaking the creation of welcome mail. Also, I can not add members to the lists from Postorius. I want all new lists to use utf-8 without having to use mailman shell. How can it be done?

mail host choices when creating a new list

by Andrew Hodder

Hi! So, I'm trying to create a new list and pick one of the other mail domains we have configured (from the django admin panel), yet in the "Create New List" page in postorius, I see only a single option (the first domain we'd added/set as the default) in the drop-down under "Mail Host". Am I missing somewhere else I need to add alternative mail domains to? Thanks in advance!

Unknown attribute: max_message_size

by Thor Atle Rustad

If I make changes here: https://example.com/postorius/lists/test2.example.com/settings/message_acce…, I get a warning that the Maximum Message Size field at the bottom is mandatory. However, if I put a number in that field and save, I get "Unknown attribute: max_message_size". That makes sense, since Mark states in https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message… that max_messages_size is not exposed in REST. What to do? I have Maxking mailman-docker but can easily copy files into the image if necessary. Thor
