Re: Mailman3 not delivering list mail

Mailman3 doesn't send Mails to users (Debian12 with Plesk)

by marcus＠mbautze.de

Hello, i already send this question to the plesk-forum but it seems that nobody there can help me :-( After updating from Debian 10 to 11 to 12, I now have mailman3 running on my server I then converted all lists from Mailman2 to Mailman3 following the instructions from mailman. I can access it via the web interface, manage everything etc. When I register on the web interface, I also receive the corresponding mails from Mailman (forgotten password...) Mails are also arriving, at least mails that are not allowed go into the mails to be approved. The problem, however, is that it does not send out any mails, nor do they appear in the archive. When I look in the Mailman-Log I find: May 16 01:44:55 2024 (6833) Cannot connect to SMTP server localhost on port 25 May 16 01:48:15 2024 (61252) error opening connection to nntp_host: localhost [Errno 111] Connection refused May 16 01:48:15 2024 (61252) NNTP error for list vereinsmitglieder(a)ludothek.de: [Errno 111] Connection refused The configuration of Mailman.cfg looks like this: incoming: mailman.mta.postfix.LMTP outgoing: mailman.mta.deliver.deliver smtp_host: localhost smtp_port: 25 smtp_user: smtp_pass: lmtp_host: 127.0.0.1 lmtp_port: 8024 In Mailman manuals I find hints that the transport routes have to be added to the Postfix-config. Doesn't Debian/Plesk do this automatically? Does anyone else have an idea what I need to change to get my mails out? I did the conversion from mailman2 to mailman3 with root because it didn't work with "sudo -u list "m, but the files stored in the file system all belong to list, so that shouldn't be the problem.

Mailman3 moving to new server, not able to establish SMTP connection

by Andrew Hodgson

Hi, Whilst we are all stuck in doors I have started a project to move Mailman3 from a Docker installation to a new server using a Python venv. Old server was Debian Jessie and the new one is Buster. Using Exim with stock config. Everything seems to be going ok but mail isn't delivering (cannot connect to SMTP server). I have /opt/mailman which I did chown -R list:list mailman.cfg has following MTA settings: [mta] incoming: mailman.mta.exim4.LMTP configuration: python:mailman.config.exim4 I wrote a Systemd unit which starts Mailman from the venv and started up Mailman once I got Postgres sorted so it would create the necessary files in the var directory structure. One thing I noticed and had to fix is that it doesn't creat the directories for existing lists, and the Exim config examples out there check for the existance of those directories to identify whether the address exists. I created those anyway and set ownership perms as before. Once I fixed that I sent a test message to the owner address and that routed correctly and the headers indicated the message was sent back to localhost by Mailman. However I can't get it to route a list message, here is a log showing the start of the Mailman master processes and me sending a test message from Outlook (so incoming mail is routing ok): Mar 28 16:03:20 2020 (21877) Master started Mar 28 16:03:32 2020 (21889) lmtp runner started.

Any suggestions? Thanks. Andrew.

Uncaught runner exception

This is your problem. By default, it should be port 25. Apparently there is no fallback for this in case it's left empty. (I would guess if you commented it out, it *would* fall back to port 25. > Apr 06 00:03:26 2020 (31153) ACCEPT: > <6a504834-123a-60f6-3a0e-494623b74523(a)mailbox.org> > Apr 06 00:03:26 2020 (31156) Uncaught runner exception: invalid literal for > int() with base 10: '' This is saying int() was called with the empty string as argument. > Apr 06 00:03:26 2020 (31156) Traceback (most recent call last): [intermediate frames omitted] > File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/mta/base.py", line 45, in > __init__ > config.mta.smtp_host, int(config.mta.smtp_port), The call to int() in the line above is getting the empty value from the config file. Changing smtp_port to '25' (or the appropriate value) in the config file will prevent the "Uncaught runner exception". If localhost's smptd is not listening on port 25, as the comment above seems to indicate, you either need to - find out the correct value if smptd is listening on a different port, - enable that daemon if it's not running, or - point smtp_host at a functioning outgoing mail server if localhost is not expected to be a mail server. In the latter two cases you also need to make sure smtp_port is correct for the server you use. There are some other, rarer and more complicated, possibilities, so if your answer is "none of the above", feel free to say so. But check those first, please. Steve

Re: Mailman3 moving to new server, not able to establish SMTP connection

by Andrew Hodgson

Guys, This has been fixed and was nothing to do with the SMTP server. I stepped through the code of the outgoing runner and found that an exception was being handled and giving an unhelpful error message. Once I got to the real exception I found it was due to this error: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message… downgrading importlib_resources fixed the issue straight away.

Uncaught runner exception

by Wolfgang Bock

Hello, I need your help. I got a "Uncaught runner exception: invalid literal for int() with base 10:" Referring to a discussion in Sept. 2019 with Manos Pitsidianakis "Cannot connect to SMTP server localhost on port 25" I did following: stop both postfix and mailman 3 services. Deleted all files in the /var/lib/mailman3/queue directories. Restarted both services.

Actually, doing SMTP Auth on > port 25 is not even recommended practice. Hi Victoriano, Thanks for this. I could use some clarification on what specific changes you are suggesting. I *think* you are saying to remove the EMAIL_USE_TLS stuff and also move to another port (maybe 587), but I am not sure. Also, the reason I added the TLS in the first place was that I was getting errors without it. And I am unclear why the cert / private key pair do not work for Django when they do work OK for Postfix, Nginx, and Dovecot.
