Fwd: Problems after Upgrade

by Jeff

Update on this. I fixed the problem logging in to the web interface by changing several instances of smart_text to smart_str. I also notice that I errored in my message below by saying the replaced text was “search_text”. It was actually “smart_text”. I believe my "site-packages/compressor” library was not updated correctly because I had to make many manual changes to get things to work. I still have the problem "mailman-web compress” listed below. However, I was able to login to the web interface and approve messages. > Begin forwarded message: > > From: Jeff <mm3(a)steele.com> > Subject: Problems after Upgrade > Date: October 30, 2022 at 3:24:21 PM EDT > To: mailman-users(a)mailman3.org > > Hello, > > I tried to upgrade to the latest mailman3 version using the following command: > > pip install -U mailman postorius django-mailman3 hyperkitty mailman-web mailmanclient > > There didn’t appear to be any problems with this step and I’ve since run it again a few times and only see that the requirements have been satisfied. > > When first running the command: > > mailman-web migrate > > I received several errors dealing with search_text in the package compressor (at least that’s as best as I remember, I wasn’t taking notes).

It scales linearly with how many entries are there in pendedkeyvalue and pendings tables. I was actually browsing through the perf metrics on mail.python.org and found the slowest API response from Core is handling held messages and spent some time last night trying to improve it [1]. The linked MR should significantly reduce the time, although there is more that can be done to make it even better. I haven't had a chance to benchmark my solution yet, but I am hoping it will reduce the latency quite significantly. I'll report on the linked issue [2] after deploying [1] on m.p.o. how much it helped.

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. As I wrote above, Amazon's documentation is at best not very discoverable. > suggests that the default AWS installation Whose default installation of Mailman? AWS's? Typical 3rd party configurations? > of Mailman 3 assumes that Mailman 3 is the *only* receiver of > emails in the configuration. 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.

"example.com" might be one, but that whole thing is the URL to the archive. Pedantry aside, I think we should probably have a Mailman-specific glossary for many terms, including the tests we use for validation. In this case, FQDN appears to be "sequence of characters not containing '@' or '/'." Steve

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.
