Re: Postorius extremely slow on some of the mailinglists

by Eric Broens

Dear Stephen, Thank you for your reply. I have finally found what caused the problem after encountering the "HTTP Error 409: Subscription request already pending". Thanks to the archives of the mailman-users mailing list, I found out that there was a long list of pending confirmations for the slow mailinglists, mostly from non-real subscribers. Postorius functioned as expected again after having deleted these using the cli. Best regards, Eric -----Original Message----- From: Stephen J.

The only thing I can think of is that something weird is happening with requests (held messages) on those lists. The runner is waiting on the database server, and eventually timing out, I think. I believe you will find the corresponding messages under $var_dir/messages (var_dir is usually set in mailman.cfg, if not I believe it defaults to /usr/local/mailman3/var). Unfortunately I don't know how to link those entries to the messages in that directory tree. You can "grep -ri '^list-id:.*<your.list.id>$' messages" for held posts via the problem list if you have list ID on (that's the default for recent Mailman) and if that's not going to work you could use "grep -rF 'your(a)list.id' messages" for a less precise search. It's not a good idea to delete them from the file system (I think Mailman is robust to that but I'm not sure). However, if one looks like spam you could try working at a slightly lower level than Postorius by using mailmanclient directly. See https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/rest/docs/p ost-moderation.html. If that doesn't work (for example listing the requests for a list times out the same way in mailmanclient), you could try directly querying the database server to see what's going on. The check for an unusual number of requests that might be an attack is to connect to the database server with its command line utility. I'm not on CLI terms with MySQL but for PostgreSQL it's $ su - mailman $ psql mailman=> select mailing_list_id, count(mailing_list_id) from _request group by mailing_list_id; mailman=> select id, list_id from mailinglist; and you can append " where id = $mailing_list_id" to the second to the second one to find the List-Id for a specific mailing list. That's just plain SQL including the count function as far as I know, so should work in any backend that Mailman can use. If you're handy with SQL you could do all that with a join but I'm not. ;-) > Any idea why this happens and how it can be solved? Aside from a really astonishingly large number of pending requests (as tested above with count()), perhaps there's something in the requests themselves. If there aren't literally thousands of requests for a problem list you can list them with mailman=> select key, mailing_list_id from _request; Look for odd characters in the key field. One oddity that I'mm pretty sure is not a problem is something of the form "\r\n <message-id>" (my instance lists those fine). There's a bug in Exchange (IIRC) which sometimes includes invalid characters (specifically "[" and "]") in message IDs which I believe we worked around only quite recently, although I don't recall if it affected APIs for requests. Control characters and non-ASCII might also cause trouble, If your database server is MySQL, is it set up to handle the full range of Unicode (I think the option is utf8mbcs)? Lacking that is known to cause problems when headers and maybe body contain emoticons or other extended Unicode characters. Again I don't recall if crashing the REST runner is a known symptom. If none of the above works, there's always the "hit it with a hammmer" approach. Have you tried restarting both Postorius and Mailman? How about restarting the database server? How about all three? As a last resort, it's probably possible to delete the requests from the filesystem and the database by hand. But I don't want to think about that unless absolutely necessary. Steve

I guess Brian was asking about Subscription Requests. Support for specifying reason when rejecting subscription requests has been added in master and will be a part of next release, 1.3.5 most probably. -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

add custom styles to postorius list creation menu

by Michael Hazan

Hello, When creating a list via postorius, i can see 3 style appear (announce, discussion, private). Is it possible to either create a new style and add it to that list or modify one of those style ? I’m using the virtual env setup and i have been trying to manipulate via the mailman-web shell but it doesn’t work when adding a new style. I need to delegate list creation to admins and I don’t want them to have to redo every list settings for every list they create when they are the same style. Also, coming from mailman2, you could directly set the members post moderation action when subscribing, now you can only do it via the user menu, is there a way to automate this in mm3 ? Thanks for the help. Michael

Thanks very much for the prompt advice Mark and Matthew! Really appreciate it.

add / remove / set moderation bit of non-members via mailman shell

by Zaheer Abbas

I have a situation where I need to add / remove 10-20 non-members to a particular list every week and set the moderation bit to 'accept immediately (bypass other rules). I do the above via postorius because I couldn't find a way to do this via mailman shell. Can anyone help me please to achieve the above? I know how to remove all non-members via /opt/mailman/mm/bin/mailman shell -l list.example.com for nonmember in m.nonmembers.members: ... nonmember.unsubscribe() ... commit() I am just having difficulties adding the non-members and setting the moderation bit to 'Accept' Currently I am using Mailman 3.2.2 (La Villa Strangiato) and Postorius Version 1.2.4 so cant use 'postorius => settings -> message acceptance -> id_accept_these_nonmembers' -- Regards, Zaheer

Re: No DBA password when installing Mailman3 with remote database server

by Stephen J. Turnbull

Markus Ludwig Grandpré writes: > Dpkg allows to skip database configuration. Is there routine or skript > to create database, database user and all required tables after the > installation process has finished? Not the whole thing. The users and databases must be created by a database administrator. After that, any "mailman" command will initialize the core's tables, and the "mailman-web migrate" command creates the Django tables for both Postorius and HyperKitty if mailman-web is installed, or you use the Django "manage.py migrate" command separately in both HyperKitty and Postorius if Debian uses the older installation without mailman-web. After the migrate command, you should use mailman-web or manage.py to issue the collectstatic, compress, and compilemessages commands for HyperKitty and Postorius.

Now it makes sense that it gets redirected and the use of localhost also explains why it didn't show in any of the virtual hosts log files that I was checking until it was redirected. However, I didn't set that value. I edited the template at postorius/lists/testliste.lists.DOMAIN.TLD/templates and there I can just select a template type and then I get one textarea input field for the content. The value in the database is set automatically, when I create a template in postorius (and is also automatically removed when I delete a template there). I can't edit this value without manually changing it in the database. > This is very old. Current Postorius is 1.3.10. 1.2.4 is from February > 2019. The Debian/Ubuntu packages are out of date.

The Debian/Ubuntu packages sure have their downsides but once they work, they update automatically and require very little maintenance.
