I don't have any strong opinions on treating all disabled options as just disabled for the user. Would List admins be interested in knowing more details about that or should it be the same for them? I feel they might be interested in such details. Brian mentioned that Affinity actually details explicit value of the delivery_status, so maybe it is useful for them? > > > We could also go a step further and show it on the List's info page > > when their delivery is disabled due to excessive bounce and allow > > the them to re-enable it themselves without admin intervention. > > This is probably a good idea, but in a situation where we know the > problem is excessive bouncing we should caution them that there is > almost certainly a probably with delivery *to their specific address* > and that Mailman and the admins *can do nothing about that*, so if > that isn't fixed they'll just get disabled again.

Yeah, a link to an FAQ entry in documentation perhaps? I am thinking that most addresses disabled due to bounces would really either be spam subscriptions or abandoned/invalid email addresses that once were working. There would be few with problems with delivery which would want to re-enable as soon as they can, but definitely letting them know that there is an issue with delivery is a good idea. > > > to the list's info page, but I guess that is the first place you'd go to > > debug when you get an email that your delivery was disabled? > > Surely we can help them go directly there? I guess yes, but that brings up the whole discussion about how does Core know about the URLs. Custom templates can help get there easily, but that will not solve the problem, only put the onus on list/server admins to set that on a per-installation basis. Although, we can add "Goto your list subscriptions to re-enable" your subscription. Maybe even a new email command that allows re-enabling subscription without logging into P? > > > https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/issues/470 > > > > I don't know if there are any downsides to letting users re-enable > > their delivery on their own. > > I don't see any myself.

I was initially thinking that maybe we can disable changing the delivery status if it was disabled by an admin ("by_admin" value), but AFAIK, there is really no way to even set that right now and no real use case for that has come up, so I am going to punt on that idea until someone really asks for it with a valid use case ;-) -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

Re: Verification emails 'helo' rejected

Definitely it's venv. It might be that mailman-web.py is an artifact of an earlier attempt with Ubuntu packages, since settings.py and mailman-web.py are quite similar.

Mailman Core 3.3.2rc2 Released

by Abhilash Raj

Hi Everyone, I am pleased to announce that Mailman Core 3.3.2rc2 is now out. This release includes both bug fixes and some new features. Some notable changes include: - Support for inviting users to join mailing lists. - New `adddmembers`, `delmembers` and `syncmembers` command to manage membership from CLI. - Addition of new REST API endpoints that return the count of held messages and subscription requests of much faster page loads in Postorius. - Addition of support for filtering in some API endpoints like Members and Subscription requests. - Support for `address=` option in email join command to subscribe an address other then sending address. - Addition of `who` email command to lookup memberships. - Expose emergency field for MailingList resource in REST API. - Several bug fixes to support new major version of libraries like dnspython, flufl.* etc. Since this is a pre-release, you can install it using: $ pip install --pre --upgrade mailman If there are no new major bugs, 3.3.2 will be released in 2 weeks time. We are now in strings freeze, so if you would like to help with translations to your native language, now is the time. We use Weblate for translations [1] and see here[2] for more documentation about i18n process in Mailman. There are a couple of new templates and more user friendly email templates & subjects for Mailman generated emails that could use translations.

Re: Link another address

What are the developers' reasoning behind this? Was this feature highly demanded by Mailman 3 users? Just trying to find out what I am missing here. In mailman 2.1 there was no concept of user. There were only lists and list members and list members were just email addresses that had no connection to other list members even if they happened to have the same email address. In mailman 3 we have users. Users can have multiple addresses. a user or a particular user's address can be a regular member and an owner of one list, a moderator of another list and a non-member of a third list. Some other address of that user can be a digest member of the first list. All of these addresses and roles can belong to a single user and be managed from that user's one account. Sure, each address can be separate with it's own login, but isn't it more convenient if they are all linked under one login if they all belong to one individual. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

very few moderation capabilities for moderators

by Guillermo Hernandez (Oldno7)

Hi all: I need to provide the list moderators a way to change the moderation flag for users from whichever it is (normally "list default processing") to "hold for moderation" and viceversa (to "list default" or to "accept") I understand that it could be done via console script (That's the way I did on mailman2: I made two commands using "withlist", one to hold, moderar.py, and other one to accept, desmoderar.py. I show you below) But I think I'm not the only one that could use as an improvement a way to do this on postorius/web. Before to trying implementing them on mailman3, I beg you to tell me if they could do that on mailman3. Thanks in advance. ****************** (moderar.py) #! /usr/local/bin/python # # script via withlist para moderar a pelo # """moderar un miembro.

Mailman 3.1 beta coming soon

by Barry Warsaw

Hello Mailman 3 users and developers! It's been a long slog but I think we are finally ready to begin the release process for Mailman 3.1. I am pretty happy about the state of the Core, and Florian is going to do some more integration testing with HyperKitty and Postorius. We still have a few issues and a merge proposal or two to address, but I am planning to spin a beta of Core this weekend to facilitate testing. Here is the Core's 3.1 milestone page: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/milestones/2 If your favorite issue or merge request isn't on that list, please do get in touch. Otherwise it will be deferred to 3.2. I'm also not entirely promising I'll get to all of these; I really want to release 3.1 in 2016 so if we run out of time, it will get deferred. Here's the project-wide list of 3.1 issues: https://gitlab.com/groups/mailman/issues?scope=all&state=opened&utf8=%E2%9C… and merge requests: https://gitlab.com/groups/mailman/merge_requests?scope=all&state=opened&utf… Except that HyperKitty isn't on this list. Please do test whatever you can and let us know how it goes.
