Mailman itself is > running happily underneath. I've managed to get things working again with help from a colleague familiar with Django. The bug seems to be in the Debian/Ubuntu packaging. In the apache.conf file there is the line: ProxyPass /mailman3 unix:/run/mailman3-web/uwsgi.sock|uwsgi://localhost/ and the problem was caused by the final trailing slash. Changing it to ProxyPass /mailman3 unix:/run/mailman3-web/uwsgi.sock|uwsgi://localhost fixed the problem. I presume something has changed with Apache in Ubuntu 20.04, as this used to work. I expect others will also hit this problem. Simon -- Simon Brown System Engineer EISCAT Scientific Association P. O. Box 812, SE-981 28 Kiruna, Sweden simon.brown(a)eiscat.se

Re: How to change the language in mailman3

The various message catalogs for Mailman core are in mailman/messages/ and those for hyperkitty, django-mailman3 and postorius are respectively in hyperkitty/locale/, django-mailman3/locale/ and postorius/locale/. The translations from weblate are incorporated in the distribution, but depending on how Mailman is installed, may be out of date. To set language for Django (i.e. hyperkitty and postorius) see <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/i18n/translation/#how-django-d…>. For Mailman core, set `[mailman] default_language:` in mailman.cfg. You also need to (re)generate the .mo file which can be done with the generate_mo.sh script. See <https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/inter…> For Django, you need to generate .mo files with `django_admin compilemessages` -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Re: Mailman 3 Web Application Startup Time or Availability - 502 Bad Gateway and Postorius

It looks like I might have "separated out" the REST API to a different server block in the Nginx config file, so I think I'm looking at the correct server block with this conclusion.

Wanted to check on that and was also hoping that there might be some setting I'm missing in the overall Mailman 3 project setup related to the "slow first visit startup" issue.

Re: combine postorius and hyperkitty into one Apache vhost

So you prefer Gunicorn over uWSGI? When I have a working installation that uses uwsgi, should I reconfigure for Gunicorn?

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
