Looking at the error, it seems like something somewhere is re-directing to HTTP/2 or the request is based off of HTTP/2 and all the components in the stack don't support HTTP/2, leading to the error message.
I haven't played a lot with HTTP/2 yet so I am not sure which specific component in the stack could be incompatible here.

Degraded layout is due to missing static files since the development server that you spun off doesn't serve static files. So, that is okay.

I followed the steps outlined in the subject document and got mailman3
running.
However, what is missing in that document is the process of setting up a
webserver for accessing the MM3 UI.
I have spent two days trying to figure out that aspect and discovered a few
things (I could be wrong in what I think):
1. For one to use the uwsgi.ini that is dropped in /etc/mailman3/ by the
installation process, the uwsgi daemon must be installed:
*apt install uwsgi-core uwsgi*
2. The uwsgi.ini must be linked in the directory where the uwsgi daemon
looks for config files:
*cp /etc/mailman3/uwsgi.ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/uwsgi.ini*
*ln -s /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/uwsgi.ini
/etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/uwsgi.ini*
3. The uwsgi daemon needs to be started
*systemctl start uwsgi*
root@lists:/etc/mailman3# ps ax | grep wsgi
5838 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/uwsgi --ini
/usr/share/uwsgi/conf/default.ini --ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/uwsgi.ini
--daemonize /var/log/uwsgi/app/uwsgi.log
5841 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/bin/uwsgi --ini
/usr/share/uwsgi/conf/default.ini --ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/uwsgi.ini
--daemonize /var/log/uwsgi/app/uwsgi.log
5842 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/bin/uwsgi --ini
/usr/share/uwsgi/conf/default.ini --ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/uwsgi.ini
--daemonize /var/log/uwsgi/app/uwsgi.log
Now that uwsgi daemon is running, the last step would be to configure the
webserver to serve the MM3 pages.
The apache config snippet dropped by the mailman3 install process in
/etc/mailman3/apache.conf contains:
<BEGIN>
Alias /mailman3/favicon.ico
/var/lib/mailman3/web/static/postorius/img/favicon.ico
Alias /mailman3/static /var/lib/mailman3/web/static
<Directory "/var/lib/mailman3/web/static">
Require all granted
</Directory>
<IfModule mod_proxy_uwsgi.c>
ProxyPass /mailman3/favicon.ico !
ProxyPass /mailman3/static !
ProxyPass /mailman3
unix:/run/mailman3-web/uwsgi.sock|uwsgi://localhost/
</IfModule>
<END>
I added those to a virtualhost where I am running mailman2.x, but I
couldn't access any of the defined aliases:
https://lists.my.site/mailman3/static/ - gives "You don't have permission
to access this resource."
Apache says
AH01276: Cannot serve directory /var/lib/mailman3/web/static/: No matching
DirectoryIndex (index.html,index.cgi,index.pl,index.php,index.xhtml,index.htm)
found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive
I am stuck at that point ...

Re: Upgrade path

Hi.
Getting back to this...
Some log of what I'm doing.
* First git fetch; git pull on all parts.
Started new envs to simplify rollback etc.
* activate the new 3.5 venv.
( I run the commands one at a time, but this is more compact in text form:)

So far no errors. Just warnings.
Backups:
* deployment directory (as user with rw in directory)
> tar -cvzf backup.tgz deployment_directory
* postgres databases (as user with postgres-priv)
> pg_dump maiman | gzip -9 > mailman.bak.gz
> pg_dump mailmanweb | gzip -9 > mailmanweb.bak.gz
Create new .wsgi-file based on mailman-suite (I used the kludge in the
script to get the python path correct)
Change apache2.conf to point to new venv and new wsgi-version
Updated the mailman3wrapper.sh I use for init to start the service.
I could not get hyperkitty interface to run so I deactivated it and
set mailman as index instead. It complains that a column is missing,
but I cannot get the migrate script to run so I decided that I do not
need the archiver as I currently don't use it. So I will have to get
back to this and either remove the archiver completely or get it to
run.
So the line with ^$ in urls.py now is
url(r'^$', RedirectView.as_view(url=reverse_lazy('list_index'))),
instead, and the line "hyperkitty," is commented in the django application list.
cheers.

You are my hero! After "patching" the outgoing.py file with the error messages I got
Aug 06 09:52:51 2025 (443278) Cannot connect to SMTP server 127.0.0.1 on port 25: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='lists.example.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /postorius/api/templates/list/hpc-admintreffen-info.lists.example.com/list:member:regular:footer (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1006)')))
And was shocked. Why is there an SSL Certificate Error? Why can't python requests verify the certificate?
So I googled a bit and found, that we can fix this be editing the cacert.pem of certifi. I did, but the error was still there. So I checked my https VHost (Apache btw) and there was a wrong chain in it. Oof. An error, that a browser does not see, but any ssl client. I fixed it and boom - everything works again.
Thank you again and thank you Stephen for trying to resolve the problem 😊

That's a misleading message. It's been improved by https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/merge_requests/1362, however usually the underlying issue is inability to access a header or footer template when decorating the message. This in turn is most likely caused by some template(s) in Mailman's var/templates/ directory being owned by `root` or some other non-mailman user and not readable by the Mailman user which in turn most likely results from running `mailman import21` as root.
Bottom line - check that all sub-directories and files in Mailman's var/templates/ directory are searchable and readable by the Mailman user.

Yep, those are all the roles that even we recognize in Postorius. We also
have the concept of Domain Owner, though that isn't really implemented yet.
So, from this list, List Owner and above all will use the "by_admin" state
to disable if they need to and they are the only ones who can set that state.

Ok, I've made a mess of it in my responses, the Core actually calls this value
"by_moderator" but I have used them interchangeably in my emails. Sorry
about that.

Understood, thanks. I'd only tried root to determine if there was a
permissions issue, where hyperkitty_import really did exist but wasn't
available to the mailman user.

As the mailman user, with venv activated:
(venv) mailman@lists:~$ hyperkitty_import -l testlist(a)lists.domain.com
/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/testlist.mbox/testlist.mbox
'testlist' and 'lists.domain.com' are redactions; they are correct in
the given command, but the command fails because the system can't find
hyperkitty_import.
(BTW
Also, because I'm looking to migrate from Mailman 2.1 installed from
Debian packages, all the 2.1 stuff is owned by the 'list' user. I'd
changed ownership of the above private archive to mailman:mailman for
the command not to complain about permissions.

I'd run these two environment commands as the mailman user with
virtualenv activated:
export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings
export PYTHONPATH=/etc/mailman3/settings.py
Am I being overly literal here with 'settings' in that first command?
Asking because 'mailman-web check' runs clean before running these
commands and returns this error afterward:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'settings'
Either way, the hyperkitty_import command still isn't found.

Same result. In this case, the ID of the admin and list owner are the same.

Yes, this is what I have in mailman's .bashrc file. I'd followed that
venv doc for initial installation, and it activates the virtualenv
whenever launching a shell for mailman.

Is the value of subject prefix for that list set to *something* in Mailman? You can check via API or if you have Postorius, you can go to List's settings page and under the "List Identity" tab there is a field.
I am suspecting Hyperkitty wants to read this attribute but since it is not set in database, Core is skipping the field in API response for /list/<listid>/config which typically returns all the list settings.

Re: Question about adding addresses using the REST API
by Stephen Daniel
TL;DR: Listening to the advice, I will create and manage user/address pairs.
I am in the process of porting a web site that is used to manage a small
organization. The web site maintains a directory of users of that
organization, and also allows them to subscribe/unsubscribe to a small set
of interest-group mailing lists for that organization. The users are not
tech savvy, and are not expecting or expected to manage their subscriptions
through Postorius, nor do they have access (normally) to the archives.
Indeed, the URL to Postorious will normally be turned off at the reverse
proxy server that sits in front of both Postorious and the organization's
website.
The one-source-of-truth is the website's database. The website code has
callouts for "subscribe <address> to <list>" and "unsubscribe <address>
from <list>".
I am trying to minimize the amount of code I write to implement the web
site's callouts, to initialize the mailing lists when I port the
organization to this new implementation, and make it relatively easy to
keep the website's database and mailman3's database in sync.
The impression I had from the docs was that unlinked addresses were a first
class object. Since my website callouts only deal with addresses, this
seemed a good mapping. However, I understand from this email thread that
unlinked addresses are not the way to go, so I'll map <address> in the
website database to <user>/<address> in mailman3.
Thanks for the advice and feedback!

Innstall and run Mailman 3 with Postfix in a Docker enviroment
by kwp.klein＠gmail.com
## Install Mailman 3
The idea is to install Mailman 3 in ad docker container. Also I want to install
Postfix in a container. All the mail which will send and receive should handled
in a docker container. The reason is, that on the server only applications in a
docker environment working. There is no MTA installed. On the server are
Discourse as forum, wikijs, portainer, watchtower, homepage, and the NGINX Proxy
Manager installed. At next I need Mailman 3.
I don't know how to install and run Postfix for Mailman in a docker environment.
Here is my first try. I can visit the site lists.example.com, but I can not set
the Admin password. I think the reason is, that the MTA not working.
I have a gitlab repo. If you like please look here:
https://gitlab.com/joklein/mailman
### Configure the docker-compose.yml file
```yml
version: '2'
services:
postfix:
image: mailu/postfix
restart: unless-stopped
container_name: postfix
volumes:
- /opt/mailman/postfix:/etc/postfix/main.cf.d

environment:
POSTGRES_DB: mailmandb

config:
- subnet: 172.19.199.0/24
```
#### Build the API Key für Hyperkitty and SECRET_KEY
You can build a key with `pwgen -s 128`
#### Make some directorys
```sh
mkdir -p /opt/mailman/core
mkdir -p /opt/mailman/web
mkdir -p /opt/mailman/mailman-web-data/static
```
#### Make a file in /opt/mailman/web/settings_local.py
```sh
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = '172.19.199.1'
EMAIL_PORT = 25
USE_SSL = False
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = "<E-MAIL>"
SERVER_EMAIL = "<E-MAIL>"
```
Change the `<E-MAIL>` with your server address. For example
`mailman(a)lists.example.com`
So that Postfix also sends your e-mails, you create the file
`/opt/mailman/core/mailman-extra.cfg` with the following content:
```sh
[mta]
incoming: mailman.mta.postfix.LMTP
outgoing: mailman.mta.deliver.deliver
lmtp_host: 172.19.199.2
lmtp_port: 8024
smtp_host: 172.19.199.1
smtp_port: 25
configuration: /etc/postfix-mailman.cfg
```
Now you are ready to start your container:
```sh
sudo su -
cd /root/mailman-docker
docker-compose up -d
```
#### Check the mailman images
```sh
docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
f6990a2f808f maxking/mailman-web:0.3 "docker-entrypoint.s…" 55 seconds ago Up 52 seconds 8000/tcp, 8080/tcp mailman-web

```
#### Check the conection
```sh
curl http://172.19.199.3:8000/postorius/lists/

Re: Hyperkitty "All Threads" results in error
by Mark Dadgar
Aaaand I spoke too soon. I am now seeing the same error when I click the All Threads button in hyperkitty. Not every time, because that would be too easy, but often.
I really only have one high-volume list with archives, so I can’t tell if it’s list-specific.
I ran the mailman-post-update script after the last update, which I believe executes all the commands suggested below.
Here’s the crash trace.
Any thoughts?
