Issues with migrating from Mailman2 to Mailman 3

by Uwe Grasshoff

Hello all, I'm currently trying to convert a Debian based mailman2 installation to a docker based mailman3 installation. I successfully running the mailman-web and mailman-core containers together with the database container but I'm struggling with the import of the old mailing lists. In the core container I'm running this two commands for every mailing list: mailman create mailman(a)example.com mailman import21 mailman(a)example.com /oldmailman/lists/mailman/config.pck Then I'm switching over to the mailman-web container and running this two commands: python3.6 manage.py hyperkitty_import -l mailman(a)example.com /oldmailman/archives/private/mailman.mbox/mailman.mbox python3.6 manage.py update_index_one_list mailman(a)example.com I'm getting no errors or something else which could indicate a problem. After that I'm looking into the web interface http://example.com/postorius/lists/ There I can only see the public mailing list and the private ones are not shown there (as expected). When I then try to login with the List Manager credentials of the lists (from mailman2) I can't login in. So I thought maybe I have to "register" myself again to than get access to the list management. So I tried that but when I filled out the form and click "Register" I'm presented with an error page which titles "Serverfehler" (Server error in german) and the message "An error occurred while processing your request." When I then go back a step and try to register again I got the error message that the username is already taken. When I then try to login I can't login I always get the "An error occurred while processing your request." page. Does anyone have an idea what point I'm missing? -- With best Regards Uwe Grasshoff

Thanks. I had a look just now. I suspect we won’t worry about broken URL links. Most people check archives to try to keep track of a conversation. With difficultly now, but much easier in MAILMAN 3. And going forward, they might just be motivated to post from the archives!!!! (As I am now doing!!!) The rest of the upgrade procedures are pretty much lost on me (not having done this kind of thing before), so either I wait or pay someone who might be willing to do it. (Assuming there is a someone and assuming it can be done in my CPanel environment) Also, this particular account is hosted by an educational NPO, so they may have restrictions. I will ask them if it is possible. Thanks! Paul

clearing out to start from scratch

Re: Please help - Held message is crashing mailman.

by Alex King

Thanks for your help Mark, it's ideal having the pointer to the issue in gitlab. I'll raise a bug with Ubuntu because this makes mailman3 in their LTS version unusable for me. Perhaps they can backport a fix for their version in LTS, otherwise they may have a backport or PPA source where I can get a 3.2 version, or just pin some packages from cosmic or disco. I think documenting this will be useful to people who hit the issue in future (Bionic/18.04 is supported until 2023, and likely the most used until 20.04 is released).

Mark, do you think we should make the actual announce-only style reflect these settings so folks don't have to manually set these after they create a announce-only list? I am not sure the reason behind these settings lacking for the current announce-only style. Are there situations where announce-only list would have different list setting? > > -- > Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, > San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Hyperkitty archive: date format in thread overview of list does not honor DATETIME_FORMAT of settings.py

by Christian Schneider

Dear mailman community, with the help of you I was able to set up a new mailman3 environment (a big THANK YOU!!! :-)): OS: Ubuntu 24.04-LTS mailman: GNU Mailman 3.3.10 (Tom Sawyer) Python: 3.12.3 (main, Feb 4 2025, 14:48:35) [GCC 13.3.0] Method: Python Virtual Environment Installation My configuration files are placed in the following directory: /etc/mailman3 - gunicorn.py - mailman.cfg - settings.py The environment is up and running: A list for testing is set up and mails are transfered (and archived) using the test-list - successfully... :-) Looking at the thread overview of the list (in Hyperkitty archives) I realized that the shown date format is unusual (for Germany), like: Do Mai 22, 3:57 nachm. (meaning: Thu May 22, 3:57 p.m.) I would prefer a format like: 22-05-2025 15:57:24 So I tried to reconfigure this setting in settings.py according to this URL: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-web.html#configure-postorius-hyp… In settings.py I set DATETIME_FORMAT to 'd-m-Y H:i:s' but the format did not change. (After changing settings.py I initiated a restart of mailman3 and mailmanweb) I also set USE_L10N to False as suggested in Django-Docs: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/ref/settings/#std:setting-DATETIME_FO… My /etc/mailman3/settings.py is parsed - as far as I can say because changing USE_I18N to false (in /etc/mailman3/settings.py) switches date to English as this is my locales-setting on Ubuntu... Nevertheless the format stays the same (in this case: Thu May 22, 3:57 p.m.) How can I adjust the date format (in the discussion boxes) at the thread overview page (url: https://my-domain.de/archives/list/test-list@lists.my-domain.de/)? Any hint is appreciated! Thank you very much and kind regards Christian
