You can get out of that by entering the database and checking the site_id for the domain you created, entering that ID into settings.py and restarting mailmanweb. Just to help you a little more, the recommended method for installing Mailman2 is documented at: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html If you use the Debian packages, chances of getting support from this forum will be close to remote as the developers (and for sure many other admins) don't use the packaged versions of MM3. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 In an Internet failure case, the #1 suspect is a constant: DNS.

This has nothing to do with whatever WSGI server (uWSGI, Gunicorn, Apache mod_wsgi, ...) is used to support the Django applications (django-mailman3, hyperkitty and postorius). I.e., there is always a Gunicorn instance configured and started by Mailman core, regardless of whatever WSGI server supports Django or even if one isn't running Django at all. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

After setting these variables and restarting mailman3 and mailmanweb, the mailman user still cannot find a hyperkitty_import command (neither can root, btw). Again, I installed MM3 and Django/Postorius/Hyperkitty using the venv and web docs previously referenced. On the plus side, all lists now appear in the admin web page. However, lists created from the admin page do not appear in a site list page, even though all lists are in the same site/domain. Finally, how to make these exports permanent? I did not see this covered in the migration doc above. This is on a Debian system where the mailman user's shell is bash. Is this simply a matter of adding environment variables in the mailman user's .bashrc file? Thanks dn

It's still a work in progress. You can do it via list settings except for one issue [1]. See that issue and also the post referenced in it's description [2]. To not modify the Subject for a list, on the list's Settings -> List Identity tab, set 'Subject prefix' empty. To not add headers and or footers, you need empty templates for them. These could be created via the list's Templates form except until [1] is fixed, you can't make empty templates. You can use the method in [2] to create empty var/templates/domains/DOMAIN.NAME/LC/list:member:generic:footer.txt and var/templates/domains/DOMAIN.NAME/LC/list:member:generic:header.txt files for the domain and language. Then as long as no list specific templates are created for lists in that domain, no headers or footers will be added.

How to approve moderated messages via email?

by Stephen J. Turnbull

Brian Carpenter writes: > What is the protocol to approve moderated messages via email? I > hope I asking the question correctly. Is this capability important to you or your clients? If so, what is the context? I ask because, as you know, email is rather insecure by default. Making it highly secure would require a lot of effort and sophistication for the moderator, eg, PGP signatures, but there might be intermediate levels that would be appropriate for many lists. For example, the Mailman 2 mechanism. I forget exactly what Mailman 2 does, but if the post to be approved were identified by a one-time key, then a spammer would have to have both the moderation password and the key (presumably by intercepting the moderation email) to approve their own spam. That's still a plausible scenario in principle[1] so I don't much like it (and I bet that's why Barry didn't implement it), but it would be straightforward to implement. Footnotes: [1] Ie, a moderator falls for a phish; then Ms. Cantor[2] probably got everything she needs to spoof approvals. It's questionable whether a spammer would go to the trouble of identifying a moderator, phishing them, reading their mail, and using the email approval to spam for profit, of course. But I can easily imagine it if somebody hates you. On the other hand, if they have your Gmail password, and you use your Gmail account to authenticate to Postorius, they can do it by web, so disallowing email approvals is no help. Security is hard .... Maybe we should implement 2FA for privileged roles. [2] Original "Green Card Lawyer".

Re: Whitelist non subscriber

Hi, thanks for your reply. Can I set the moderation_action on this member? I cannot figure out the API command. All posts of other members should be moderated.

On google I > found accept_these_nonmembers but I do not know how to use it. > Please show me some examples how to whitelist someone(a)example.org. Since this is a Mailman 3 list, I assume you are asking about MM 3. Mailman 3 defines the list attribute accept_these_nonmembers, but it is not currently implemented to actually have any effect, nor is it exposed in Postorius. At the present, I think you would have to create a user record with the address and add that user to all lists with role nonmember and moderation_action 'defer' to apply subsequent tests or 'accept' to unconditionally accept posts from that address. (In MM 2.1, accept_these_nonmembers is a list of addresses and regexps matching addresses whose posts are to be accepted, subject to subsequent tests, and is exposed in the web admin UI) -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
