That was a simple solution although with a bad consequence. Will it stop moderation mails to the moderator as well? I'll try. Otherwise it will not be a problem in my case. The lists where I have this problem are more of function addresses for a number of persons (like a board or workgroup) so they accept posts from non-members. I use mailman as a simple forward gets legit mail caught in the receivers spam filters and might cause more black-list problems. You are of course entirely correct in that backscatter is the real problem, I should have thought of that. The thing in the spam I've received lately is somewhat sophisticated: the senders have correct (albeit strange) domains and correct SPF records so they try to seem legit although the senders are located in unexpected parts of the world. I just checked one example, in that case the MX pointed to the sender IP, the SPF was very sloppy (~all) and everything looked correct except for the fact that we usually do not receive mail from Ukraine and the cryptocurrency scam in the body. It almost got caught in the spam filter, but not quite. cheers // David

I'm not sure about the above error. 'sassc -t compressed {infile} {outfile}' is defined in `settings` COMPRESS_PRECOMPILERS, but it is a command to be run as part of `django-admin compress`, not a module to be imported. Possibly running `django-admin compress` before starting Hyperkitty would have avoided this. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

I believe that the LMTP runner died because it wasn't able to bind to `mailman-01.stanford.edu`, which I am assuming is the hostname assigned to the host running these containers. `MM_HOSTNAME` env variable in the docker containers should be something that the process inside mailman-core container can bind to and can be reached by postfix (which can run either on host or on another container). (Now that I read it myself, I agree that the name of the variable sounds not-so-intuitive.) The default configuration (and docker-compose.yaml) sets this value to the IP Address of the container (172.19.199.2), which is reachable from the host. If you set this value to whatever IP the mailman-core is assigned and re-create the containers (or just re-start and run `mailman aliases` in mailman-core to re-generate transport_maps), it would work out. Also, I see your docker-compose.yaml configuration (`MAILMAN_CORE_IP: 172.19.199.2`) is not consistent with your output of `mailman conf`([webservice] hostname: 172.19.199.5`). I am not sure how that happened though, just wanted to point it out. This *might* cause the rest runner to die to and thus Postorius/HK wouldn't work.

Re: Upgrade-path from Ubuntu18LTS to recent mailman release

by Stephen J. Turnbull

Stefan Bauer writes: > thanks alot. That looks promising. Can we just copy the current > mailman3-database and take the configurations or is there a specific > migration path we have to follow? Much of the documentation on mailman.readthedocs.io discusses migrations and upgrades. You should read those for general hints. The distro Mailman to venv Mailman case is more discussed here on the mailing list than in those documents. I don't have pointers to those threads or the time to look offhand, maybe over the next few weeks as I work on our GSoC project. If you do find any, and would post them here, I'll make sure they get into the docs. The main thing is to backup Mailman configs (probably in /etc/mailman or /etc/mailman3) and the backend database (core, Postorius, possibly HyperKitty depending on configuration, and the django-mailman auth stuff) before trying to migrate. (For the backend database I would just dump the RDBMS unless non-Mailman content is really huge.) The nature of the virtualenv install is such that it *will not* overwrite any of the distro files at all (as long as you put it in /usr/local or /opt). However, you want to preserve the configs and database and reuse them, so those *must* be backed up. > We are currently running 3.1.1-9 (Ubuntu 18). Ubuntu 18 is probably old enough that you need to be careful about MySQL and its derivatives. The specific problems are (1) you need to specify the right UTF-8 variant for the coding system, and (2) more recent versions of Mailman tend to make certain records overflow. If you're using PostgreSQL these caveats *do not* apply. If you're using sqlite3 (I doubt it, but just for completeness) you should change to PostgreSQL or MySQL. If you're using something else (same caveat), I can't really say. Probably somebody out there is using Oracle or whatever, but we don't know about that. :-) Steve

Re: Digests not working correctly

I don't see how that can happen. The process that sends a digest renames the var/lists/<list-id>/digest.mmdf mailbox file in which the messages are accumulated to var/lists/<list-id>/digest.<volume>.<issue>.mmdf, where <volume> and <issue> are the volume and issue numbers of that digest, and then queues a message in the `digest` queue to tell the digest runner to create the digest from the messages in that mbox and send it. Thus, it leaves no var/lists/<list-id>/digest.mmdf mailbox file behind and that is created anew when the next post arrives. Further, if there is a non-empty digest.mmdf file, its messages should be sent no later than the next 11 PM `cron digests`. > There was one earlier message to the list > back on May 4th, before the one that got duplicated, but I can't tell if > that triggered a size-based digest to be sent: the logs aren't clear > enough on that detail for me to tell.

Re: Mailman 3 - Header Filter

We have a few list owners that want 'Out of Office' replies discarded. When using the below syntax in Postorius/Header filter the post is not discarded but ends up in 'Held Messages'. Is there any syntax I am missing or a setting in the lists that needs to be disabled/enabled to get these posts dropped? Any help is much appreciated. > The issue may be that in Mailman core's 'builtin' chain, the checking of > header_matches occurs after the check for member moderation so if the > member moderation check results in the message being held, the > header_matches aren't checked. There may me a newer thread about this, but I haven't found it. In my case I would be more interested in holding or discarding mails with subject 'Out of Office' if the mail would otherewise be send the to the list members due to a non-moderated list. I would emagine that the order of "check for member moderation" and header_matches would not be significant if holding or discarding the mail due to header_matches, am I right? 🤞🏻 If so, I would think that Header "subject:" or "subject" with Pattern "^(?i)(.*)autosvar(.*)" - without the double quotes - and Function "Hold for moderation" or "Discard" should either hold or discard any message with "Autosvar" (danish word for "Out of Office reply") somewhere in the subject, but that doesn't happen. What is the correct syntax? I know that filtering out Out of Office replies is just as hard as spam filtering, since it varies, but at least there is some kind of consistency in the wording, so I would give it a try. *) In a prevous mail I was told that ^ would tell Mailman that it is a regex. -- Henrik Rasmussen her(a)adm.ku.dk Copenhagen, Denmark

I suspect it will be some time before Cpanel offers Mailman 3. It is fairly straightforward to migrate an existing Mailman 2.1 list and it's archives to Mailman 3, but it requires access to the underlying Mailman 2 file system which you may not have in a hosted cPanel environment.
