Hyperkitty "All Threads" results in error

by Mark Dadgar

So I have been wrestling with this problem for a while now. Most times, but not every time, when someone clicks on the All Threads link in hyperkitty, a 500 error is generated. I googled it, obviously, and at first I thought it was related to this issue, but that has not proven to be the case: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… <https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/…> I’ve attached a “backtrace” below. The archives were imported from a previous mm3 install a couple of months ago. The problem occurs even with a list state full of immediately recent posts. Anyone have thoughts on how I can fix this? - Mark ----- mark(a)pdc-racing.net | 408-348-2878 — Internal Server Error: /archives/list/trackjunkies(a)pdc-racing.net

This future management page would be for Site Admins (Superusers) to manage Users and have the ability to change pretty much everything about users including their addresses, memberships and preferences and also be able to wipe off the users from all the databases if they want to. If there are more features than that which folks think should be a part of this, please feel free to add to it. As it is hopefully implied from the description, it is a big task and needs substantial chunk of time, part of which this hasn't been picked up yet. On this score, from my experience (I manage 3 sites and several hundred lists): * you also need to disable a particular user's ability to change their name and ban them completely from the site (all lists). /You always get some idiot who uses a foul, abusive or inappropriate name/ * you need the ability to delete a thread or user's postings. /On one occasion I had a formal request from a company's lawyers for one user's email to be deleted or content redacted where quoted (information bound by NDA). That was relatively easy to do in mm2 with shell access and I guess I could even use the same method for mm3 if ever asked to do so again (export mbox, delete archives, delete/redact from mbox and import)/ Yes, this is social media territory, but with the EU/UK DPA (data protection act) and record fines being issued, site admins cannot ignore these - even private/subscriber lists are targets (don't get me started...). I like mm3's ability to have several addresses associated with one account, but it needs the same functionality as mm2's find_member, remove_member etc so you don't have to undergo a crash course in python and mm3's shell just to find and remove a particular member from mailing lists etc. Yes, it would be nice to re-use some of those old mm2 scripts built up over the years on mm3. -- Alex

Part of this is because of the architecture of Mailman 3. In mailman 2.1, we have lists and members of those lists and no connection between a member of one list and a member of another list, even if their email addresses are the same. Thus, a member of a list and that member's display name are things associated only with that list, and can be manipulated by the list admin. Mailman 3 is different. In mailman 3 we have users and addresses. A user has a display name and one or more addresses, one of which is preferred, and each address has a display name. These are independent of any list and belong to the user. Then, a list member can be a user, in which case, the address associated with this member is the user's preferred address and the display name is the user's display name (or maybe the display name of that address, I'm not sure). Or, a list member can be an address in which case, the member's display name is the display name associated with that address. Thus, in Mailman 3 the display name associated with a list member can be one of several, and these belong to the user, not to the list. As far as not searching display names is concerned, this is <https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/issues/378>. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Thank you very much, I got a bit further. The database contained a couple of test lists that I can recreate, so nothing of value. The strange thing was that drop database followed by create database did not yield an empty database in Postgres. I probably forgot a commit somewhere. I got a bit further.

bypassing rules on an individual basis

by Stephen J. Turnbull

via Mailman-users writes: > I have a mailing list that, due to specific circumstances, has a > requirement to allow messages from a user that sends messages with > no subject. Do you mean "any user who sends a message with no subject", or are there specific users who do this? If there is one such user (or a handful), and you trust that user not to abuse the privilege, you can directly pre-approve that user from Users menu in the list configuration (see Mark's post for details). This also works if there is no Subject field at all! If you don't know who might post with no subject (or there are annoyingly many, especially if some are less than clueful), you could use the header match: > I also added header filters to immediately accept the message, but > they still get held. Specifically, the rules I defined are: > [...] Those were all incorrect. What you want is > Header, Pattern, Action > > subject, ^\s*([[{(]?no[_ ]subject[]})]?)?\s*$, Accept Immediately I believe the surrounding whitespace is stripped, so the "\s*" are unnecessary but do no harm since they match 0 spaces. However this has two potential flaws: it doesn't work if there is no Subject field at all, and it allows anyone to bypass all of Mailman's checks. Finally, there is the "pre-approved" mechanism. It's a little bit complicated because it requires setting a moderator password, which has to be done using the Python interpreter; there's no option in Postorius. It also requires a small bit of clue from the poster to add the password to the post, preferably in the header (but it can also be the first line). In either case the password is removed before distribution. For details, see https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/rules/docs… > Is there a better way to bypass this rule?
