It is also possible, or even likely that these are the result of bad actors maliciously requesting subscriptions for 3rd parties. Since this is a 421 status, these mails should remain queued in your mail server for a while and can be examined[1]. If this is the case, you may be able to mitigate this by setting SHOW_ANONYMOUS_SUBSCRIBE_FORM = False in your Django settings. See https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/postorius/en/latest/news.html#news-1-3-9 [1] For example if your MTA is Postfix postcat /var/spool/deferred/4/4d08rT4xMHzMCD6S and if that shows a subscription or email verification request postsuper -d 4d08rT4xMHzMCD6S to delete it so it isn't retried. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Mixing Mailman 3 with AWS SES

As Abhilash points out, Mailman doesn't care about other mailboxes served by its host (unless they conflict with list names or adinistrative addresses derived from list names, which evidently yours do not). It's a question about the mail service at AWS. I've not seen any documentation in our project about setting up at AWS; I don't know anybody who has done so. (I haven't looked for either though.) I took a quick look for AWS SES documentation. They don't seem to have any real documentation online for the general public, only lists of features. They also seem to be very focused on sending rather than receiving. Much talk of how much mail you can send, bulk emailing, statistics on responses, and the like. None about setting up for incoming mail. Probably I could get access to online help if I signed up for a free account, but that's above my pay grade. > My best guess is that the AWS Simple Email Service (SES) needs to > sit in front of both Mailman and the home-grown code, I don't know if AWS provides an alternative Complicated Email Service, but yes, something like SES is going to have to sit in front of the various mailboxes. Mailman itself has a certain amount of capability to deal with the main email protocols, but it is definitely not capable of replacing the main mail server. For security reasons I would definitely advise against any Mailman 3 presence directly on the Internet. It was designed on the assumption that it would talk to the Internet via a standard mail server, Postorius (for administration), and HyperKitty (for mail archives)[1], and occasionally to admins logging in with shell accounts. > All available evidence read to date URLs, please.

That's possible, but it's likely an artifact of the application -- I would expect that many who host Mailman on AWS do so to isolate Mailman from other services they provide. So it seems reasonable that in many such installations Mailman is *the* service for that instance. But mail servers are designed to be many inputs, many outputs services. If SES itself is as restricted as you fear, surely AWS provides an alternative, more powerful mail service. I can imagine quite a few restrictions, other than the backing application, on the SES that Amazon *might* impose. But without access to documentation, we can't say much. > Or... Hercules may have already cleaned the Augean Stables, and > left behind a AWS Lambda function that can serve as a keystone > puzzle piece for solving my dilemma. Good luck on that. I don't know of any, but that would be a quick solution for you. I hope somebody here knows more. As evidenced by Andrew's post, there are folks thinking about it, so maybe somebody's actually tried -- anybody? Successes? Pitfalls to watch for? The other issue Andrew mentions could be important. Since Solar Winds I'm seeing daily attempts to access my O365 server (nonexistent) from AWS. Given the size of AWS, I think they probably actually do a good job of keeping felonious behavior to a minimum[2], but a lot of folks I know are happy to cut off huge netblocks until somebody they know actually complains. :-( Footnotes: [1] Or more precisely, some webservice providing those services mediating between the Internet and Mailman sitting cozily behind a firewall. [2] DigitalOcean, on the other hand, is accumulating blocked /24s, and even /16s, at my firewall. But that's another story.

What exactly do you want? Do you want to discard without notice any nonmember posts or do you want to hold them but not send a notice of the hold to the poster? For the former, you want to set the list's default_nonmember_action to discard. For the latter you want to set the list's respond_to_post_requests to False. To make either of these settings the default for new lists, you'd need to patch mailman/styles/base.py. To set them for all lists you could do the following in `mailman shell` ``` $ bin/mailman shell 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. >>> for mlist in getUtility(IListManager).mailing_lists: ... # Pick the appropriate one of the following. ... mlist.default_nonmember_action = Action.discard ... mlist.respond_to_post_requests = False ... >>> commit() ``` -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

I was indeed assuming that 0 meant unlimited. The threshold was set at 0. My thinking was that meant the file size was not a factor in determining when the digest was sent and that the sending would be triggered by the daily cron. When I set the threshold very low - 10kB - it sends a digest on every post. So my understanding of what you are saying is: if the threshold is set very large, say 100,000 kB - then a digest will be be sent by the daily cron even if it is smaller than 100,000 kB. Am I understanding correctly?

It would be good to upgrade. Current HyperKitty/Postorius/Django is Python3 which will remove your dependency on Python 2.7. Also, there have been many performance improvements in more recent versions which may solve your issue. Your gateway timeout issue is a uwsgi time limit. You can increase that in your uwsgi configuration. > Extra information: > * I have also noticed some memory violation issues which has caused by uwsgi. > * Segfaulting process - kernel: python[25870]: segfault at 24 ip 00007f9decb9a6ea sp 00007ffc413bb3d0 error 6 in libpython2.7.so.1.0[7f9decb10000+17e000] Are these coincident with the gateway timeouts or do they occur at different times? -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
