How about importing archives without having a Django > installation? Is that what the prototype archiver for? The only current archive import we support is `django-admin hyperkitty_import` which imports archive .mbox files into HyperKitty. The prototype archiver is just a maildir format collection of messages. Converting an mbox file to a maildir is trivial. from mailbox import Maildir, mbox mb = mbox('/path/to/mbox', create=False) md = Maildir('/path/to/maildir', create=True) for msg in mb: md.add(msg) > We are getting ready to start working on a custom forum application for > Mailman 3 (called Empathy) and I am would like to import some mailman 2 > archives into the development server to work with. First you have to decide how Empathy will store messages. Look at <https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty/-/blob/master/hyperkitty/management/c…>. This is how HyperKitty gets messages from a mbox and adds them to its database. It's actually fairly simple - a lot of the code is handling exceptions due to defective messages. Presumably Empathy will have a method for adding a message to the archive, so importing is just getting messages from the mbox and using Empathy's method to add it. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Presumably you upgraded django-allauth to a version >=0.62. Beginnin then, email addresses were no longer stored case-sensitively and the migration was dealing with that. There were other issues when addresses were store case sensitively.

Re: Trying to configure a list (hosted)

by paul＠arenson.org

Thank you for the very quick response, Abhilash Raj. Being non technical (and therefore opting for hosted Mailman 3), I can partly understand your kind response. 1) I can understand that I cannot disable the different ways to sign up. 2) I am still struggling to understand the difference between the two web choices as shown here. WAY # 1 TO GET AN ACCOUNT https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/accounts/signup/?next=%2Fpostorius%2Flist… VS WAY # 2 YOU CAN GET AN ACCOUNT WITHOUT SIGNING UP at the bottom of https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/postorius/lists/discuss.list.tokyoprogres… (I was under the impression making only WAY #1 allows one to post, but are you saying that the bottom option also allows one to post, but only by email?) If I am confused, I know my users will also be confused. I think I understand I can qualify their subscription in the ways you suggest: "Confirm where all users would have to confirm their subscription using an email sent to them. Optionally, you can also enable moderation where each subscription needs explicit approval too." So to put it simply: 1) I want to make it a discussion list. Not available to people who are not signed up? 2) This is dependent on all having access to the archives so they can see what they are responding to 3) What settings do I make to insure that all who sign up via WAY #1 can see the archives and post. 4) What settings do I make to insure that all who sign up via way #2 can do the same? Last, in my account settings what is the difference between a member and a non member? Thanks and sorry I was not clear the first time.

The above message saying you need to make migrations because of changes to models indicates that your Debian/Ubuntu package is broken as the packager should have created all necessary migrations. > i do see tables in the mailman db but mailmanweb is empty - is there a different flag i need to run to seed the mailmanweb db?

This causes issues when files are created by root and can't be read by mailman. What django admin command are you running?

Re: How to delete non-users

by Allan Hansen

Hi Mark, Thank you for looking into it. We are very strict about memberships, which we are because of spam, bots and malicious contributors and because we don't want anyone to think that our lists are used for spam: When a user applies, the server sends a message to the moderator. The moderator communicates with the potential member and accepts or does not accept the application. At this point, if the user has not been accepted, but tried to send a message to the list, a non-member membership is created. When he/she logs in to list his/her account, the list to which he/she holds non-memberships will be listed and the user will think that he/she has been properly subscribed (why else are the lists listed). Noone notices the column that shows the role as 'nonmember.' So he/she thinks that the subscription request has been accepted, but nothing is working. That's why the 'non-member' record is an issue. I also don't see why non-members are automatically added, filling up the database with junk (at least from our point of view, with all respect). But our lists don't accept messages from non-members. Such messages are quietly discarded, as most are spam, as mentioned above. So now the user is neither getting emails from the lists nor is unable to send messages to the list. The next step for the user is to complain to me. ☹ I have looked for a template that could be used to warn someone when he/she is added as a non-member, but did not find one. It's also not clear that I'd want one, as most of these non-subscriptions are by spammers and I prefer not to reply to spammers. __ I tried your suggestion below, Mark. Here's my transcript: ********** 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. >>> lm = getUtility(IListManager) >>> for l in lm: ... for nm in l.nonmembers.members: ... nm.unsubscribe() ... >>> ********** I did this twice, once with commit() and once typing ctrl/d (ctrl/D) just gave me a beep. Calling commit() did not return to the ... as in your example, but showed the >>> prompt, so I tried ctrl/D (beep) and then ctrl/d (exit). I then went to the Postorius page for one of the lists and found that all the non-members were still present.

The basic idea is a nonmember has a moderation action and setting a nonmembers moderation replaces MM 2.1's adding that address to one of *_these_nonmembers (The legacy *_these_nonmembers attributes still exist, but only to support regexps). It would require extensive modification to not create nonmembers.
