Introducing my GSoC 2026 project: Domain Administration in Postorius

by Khushal A

Hi everyone, I'm Khushal, a final year Computer Science student from R V College of Engineering, India. I've been selected for Google Summer of Code 2026 with GNU Mailman project. I'll be working on Domain Administration in Postorius. Right now, Mailman has roles like site admins and list owners, but domain level management is still limited. The idea of this project is to make the domain owner role actually usable. A domain owner should be able to create lists in their domain, manage those lists with the same permissions as a list owner, and edit domain level settings for their domain. For example, if multiple domains are hosted on the same Mailman instance, each domain can be managed independently by its own owner without needing full admin access. Would love to hear how you currently manage domains and if there are any pain points. I’ll be sharing updates here: https://hashnode.com/@a-khushal Thanks, Khushal (a-khushal)

Re: Messages not going to held queue

by Mail Person

I have it set so that members automatically go to the moderation queue from the Postorius settings. To make sure that wasn't the issue, I also added a test subscriber account to the list and set them manually to have their messages held for moderation. I then set them to "accept immediately" to make sure Postorius settings were taking effect. When "accept immediately" was set, the messages were sent through. When they were set to be held for moderation, the user did not get a moderation email, myself as the moderator did not get a notification, and Postorius did not show them in the held messages queue. As far as logs, in var/log/mailman3 I do not see any logs other than mailman.log, plugins.log and smtp.log. In the SMTP log I can see that the message is getting to mailman: Sep 07 20:10:08 2022 (2837) ('127.0.0.1', 45958) Data: b'MAIL FROM:<test email>' Sep 07 20:10:08 2022 (2837) ('127.0.0.1', 45958) sender: test email Sep 07 20:10:08 2022 (2837) ('127.0.0.1', 45958) Data: b'RCPT TO:<test@domain>' however no action is taken after that. In the cases where the message is sent I there are two actions showing the message going out: Sep 07 20:10:09 2022 (2839) <stuff(a)mail.gmail.com> smtp to test@domain for 2 recips, completed in 0.14289569854736328 seconds Sep 07 20:10:09 2022 (2839) <stuff(a)mail.gmail.com> post to test@domain from testemail, 2969 bytes This leads me to believe the message is being discarded or for some reason not getting to the moderation queue.

New subscribed (by invitation) user: no password received in invitation/welcome e-mail. Postorius sign up / password reset broken

by ^m'e

Hi there, I migrated form MM2.1 to MM3.3.10 on Debian Trixie (mariadb backend) -- I know that's a bit unorthodox to ask here for help on a non venv-based installation, but hopefully I'll first gain a bit of insight of MM3 in order to formulate a more precise request to Debian maintainers. ## Issue #1. A newly invited (from Postorius mass subscription page) and confirmed user doesn't get any password in their invitation/welcome e-mail. I guess that's because MM3 allows a user to subscribe without having an account, right? Else, there's a problem. ## Issue #2 Anyway, if that new user asks for a password reset on Postorius they get "Server error An error occurred while processing your request." Log shows: ``` ERROR 2025-08-29 17:59:17,227 173488 django.request Internal Server Error: /accounts/password/reset/ Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/exception.py", line 55, in inner response = get_response(request) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 197, in _get_response response = wrapped_callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/views/generic/base.py", line 105, in view return self.dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/utils/decorators.py", line 46, in _wrapper return bound_method(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/views/generic/base.py", line 144, in dispatch return handler( form.save(self.request) ~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/allauth/account/forms.py", line 633, in save adapter.send_password_reset_mail(user, email, context) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/allauth/account/adapter.py", line 577, in send_password_reset_mail return self.send_mail("account/email/password_reset_key", email, context) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/allauth/account/adapter.py", line 201, in send_mail msg.send() ~~~~~~~~^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/core/mail/message.py", line 299, in send return self.get_connection(fail_silently).send_messages([self]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/core/mail/backends/smtp.py", line 134, in send_messages sent = self._send(message) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/core/mail/backends/smtp.py", line 152, in _send self.connection.sendmail( ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^ from_email, recipients, message.as_bytes(linesep="\r\n") ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ) ^ File "/usr/lib/python3.13/smtplib.py", line 861, in sendmail self.ehlo_or_helo_if_needed() ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.13/smtplib.py", line 611, in ehlo_or_helo_if_needed if not (200 <= self.ehlo()[0] <= 299): ~~~~~~~~~^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.13/smtplib.py", line 451, in ehlo self.putcmd(self.ehlo_msg, name or self.local_hostname) ~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.13/smtplib.py", line 378, in putcmd self.send(f'{s}{CRLF}') ~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.13/smtplib.py", line 365, in send raise SMTPServerDisconnected('please run connect() first') smtplib.SMTPServerDisconnected: please run connect() first ``` The same happens if the new users tries to sign up.

The email confirming the registration of an account on postorius is not correctly translated in Italian

by Massimo Zappalà

Hi everyone, thanks to the files.po on Weblate, I have translated all Mailman-Core, Postorius, Hyperkitty and Django_mailman3. I have also translated the confirmation message to subscribe to a list. Everything works, except for this: When I register a new account on postorius, he sends me a confirmation email totally in English, except the following final block which is sent in Italian: in my /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/allauth/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/django.po #: templates/account/email/email_confirmation_message.txt:7 #, python-format msgid "" "Thank you from %(site_name)s!\n" "%(site_domain)s" msgstr "" "Grazie da %(site_name)s!\n" "%(site_domain)s" By carefully analyzing the same file .po, I notice that the Italian translation of the whole text already exists. Why does the confirmation email arrive in English? #: templates/account/email/email_confirmation_message.txt:1 #, fuzzy, python-format #| msgid "" #| "User %(user_display)s at %(site_name)s has given this as an email " #| "address.\n" #| "\n" #| "To confirm this is correct, go to %(activate_url)s\n" msgid "" "Hello from %(site_name)s!\n" "\n" "You're receiving this e-mail because user %(user_display)s has given yours " "as an e-mail address to connect their account.\n" "\n" "To confirm this is correct, go to %(activate_url)s\n" msgstr "" "Ciao da %(site_name)s!\n" "\n" "L'Utente %(user_display)s di %(site_name)s ha registrato questo indirizzo e-" "mail.\n" "Per confermare, clicca qui %(activate_url)s\n" Thanks Max

footer template priority

by Sam Darwin

It seems templates can be configured in the filesystem or via postorius. When I place a footer template in the filesystem it worked fine. Then without adjusting any configuration, without removing that, I tried to use the postorius control panel to add a footer template, which ends up in the database, both the core and web databases. But emails stop getting sent out. Emails were posted into Hyperkitty, but not mailed out via postfix. Whatever system logs I have access to, I have checked. There are no apparent errors anyplace. Perhaps I didn't look in the right places. The problematic email arrives, is posted to Hyperkitty, but isn't emailed out to subscribers. As if the template broke something. I remove the template from the postorius UI. Those queued emails are instantly sent! The template said "test content". No variables. I checked on the server for "queued emails" and did not find those either, in postfix or mailman. Mysterious. The phenomenon is repeatable on this server. Add a footer template, emails stop.

Settings.py > Asking because my settings.py currently has: > > # Django time zones > USE_TZ = True > TIME_ZONE = 'America/Los_Angeles' It should be TIME_ZONE = 'UTC' Times passed from Mailman core are naive times, I.e. they don't have time zone info, but they are in UTC. Thus for Django to get the correct time with time zone you need USE_TZ = True (without that, Django will throw an exception about naive times) and the TIME_ZONE to apply is UTC. With those settings, Django has the correct time zone aware times. > and list timestamps appear to work OK both in Hyperkitty and as received > by members' mail clients. Mail sent to list members is not at all affected by this. That involves Mailman core only. Also, time stamps on posts in HyperKitty come from Date: headers or Django internal times. Where you see this manifested is for example when looking at a held message in Postorius and seeing the hold time. which is a time stamp generated by Mailman core. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Re: list footer web customization procedure

In others, it's the opposite (which is more problematic for responding). That seems to depend on whether the poster sent in plain text. The difference between inline and attachment has to do with how footers are added. They are only added inline if the message after content filtering is a simple text/plain message. > One puzzling aspect is that it doesn't happen consistently.

Thanks. The issue may be a bug or a race condition. What is going on is the 'empty' footer you created in Postorius is retrieved from Postorius by a URL. In order to reduce the number of http transfers to retrieve such templates, they are cached in the local file system. Now, when we want a template that is accessed via a non-mailman: URI, we call the cache managers get() method at https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/blob/master/src/mailman/model/cache.py… to get it. This should return either None if there's no cached file or the contents of the file, but if there is an entry but no corresponding file, it returns 'Cache content lost'. This could occur if some asynchronous process expunged the entry between getting the entry and getting the file. A process that could do that is the task runner that evicts expired cache entries. Look in your mailman.log. There will be `ACCEPT: <message_id>` entries for each accepted message and there will be hourly `Task runner evicted expired cache entries` entries. Do the ACCEPTs for the affected messages occur at the same time as the evictions? One way to avoid this is to not use Postorius to set the template but rather, create an empty `templates/lists/<list_id>/en/list:member:regular:footer.txt` in mailman's var/ directory for each such list and delete the Postorius templates. Of course, this is just a work around and not a solution to the issue. A proper fix is probably to implement a lock on the get(), evict(), evict_expired() and clear() methods so they can't execute concurrently. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

You appear to be using a prerelease version of django-mailman3 which is not compatible with the other parts. Install an earlier version and it should work. You also appeared to have used Python3 for the frontend in earlier posts. Currently Python3 is not yet supported. The next stable releases will most likely support Python3 and drop support for Python2
