I have base_url: https://host.name/... without a port in mailman-hyperkitty.cfg on several servers and that works fine. I think the issue is when you specify https://host.name:8000/... you are going directly to Django and bypassing nginx and it's nginx that has your SSL certificates. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Re: Turn off social logins?

As the Mailman3 Debian Maintainers, we decided to disable social auth in the mailman3-web Debian package alltogether. That's because in general, we try to avoid "calling home" features in software when it's possible. Usually, these "call home" features are abused to track users behaviour. With Mailman3, it's not directly calling home. But still, adding so-called "social" authenticators to the mailman3 django application will expose users to the risk of clicking on those ID provider buttons. > > 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.

Personally, I consider it a major privacy issue if one central instance (e.g. Facebook) is able to track on which platforms and services you authenticate. And to be honstes, I'm a bit irritated that those tracking features from big corporates like Facebook and Google, whose main business model is to aggregate as as much private data points as possible about as much users as possible are enabled by default in Mailman3 upstream. Besides the privacy concerns raised above, on problem with central authentication services is that they also create new single points of entry/failure.

I agree with Torge that those social auth providers should be disabled per default. IMHO, A sane default would be to list them in the settings.py but have them commented out. Cheers jonas

Re: Mailman recovery test did not go as planned

by Stephen J. Turnbull

bob B via Mailman-users writes: > Is there a way to rebuild the archives for lists? If you keep a backup as an mbox file (this is what the "sample archiver" does), you can always reinitialize HyperKitty and reimport as if you were migrating a Pipermail archive from Mailman 2. HyperKitty (and Postorius) have data stores that are independent of those used by Mailman core. > What about rebuilding any static web pages outside the database, is > that even necessary? If you have changed any templates, you would need to reproduce those changes. Otherwise it's presumably just a matter of reinstalling the Django apps and running the "collectstatic" command in the Django manager. > I know in a real disaster the environment will not be down, so I > see three scenarios: They seem plausible (ie, covering all possibilities and the solutions) to me.

Server 500 error for just one list, just one page

by kelly.close＠lrewater.com

I am having a curious problem with just ONE list management page for ONE list on my server. Every other list I've checked, and every other management page for this affected list, seem fine. But when I go to the Subscribers page for this one list I get a Server 500 error, and I can't find anything in the apache or mailman logs to give me a clue (granted I'm not sure I know for sure where all the different logs are). So specifically this page: https://udfcd-lists.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/alarms-all.udfcd-lists.org… For a list called "alarms-all" obviously. Any ideas? I'm able to review the list, it's members, etc in the PostsgreSQL tables and I'm not seeing any members with funky characters in their address - the one thing I could think of to check. Thanks, ~Kelly

Countdown to the 3.1 release

by Barry Warsaw

Previously I mentioned the three big outstanding branches that I'd like to land for Mailman 3.1 Core, the templates branch, the MySQL support branch, and the unsubscription workflow branch. I've now also gone through all the bugs previously targeted to milestone 3.1, and there are only three left: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/milestones/2 I think these are important enough to fix for 3.1 and I welcome merge requests while the other three branches are ongoing. Please take a look at any other bugs not assigned to milestone 3.1 and let me know if you think any are serious enough to block the 3.1 release. I'll say in advance that I'm going to be brutal in assessing them, because 3.1 really needs to be released soon! Note too that there may be blockers for Postorius, Hyperkitty, and mailman.client, but I haven't looked at those subprojects yet. How close are they to being release ready? Cheers, -Barry
