Re: Fresh installation mailman3-suite via "pipx" - any experiences yet?

Mark Sapiro writes: > But postorius and hyperkitty are dependencies of mailmanweb so only Are they? I'm pretty sure that in my current project which has a pre-existing archiver they wish to keep using I only installed postorius, not hyperkitty. ... oops, HyperKitty *is* there. OK, need to uninstall that. That's actually a bit annoying, since mailmanweb is a friendlier interface for control of either of HyperKitty and Postorius than the underlying Django utilities even if you don't want the other and its unique dependencies (such as Whoosh). (Issue #32 created) OK, so your two-venv approach should actually work. I still don't think it's much of a win since to finish setup you still have to do a lot of work as root and a lot of work outside of pipx's control. Basically it saves one "python3 -m venv", at the cost of "pipx run" to run each program in its own venv. Note, it doesn't save me any venv activationss because I put that in the mailman user's shell .rc. Wikinaut asks: > Has anyone tried that already? Why not you? Steve

I'm not in a position to test with Mailman itself right now, but the standalone gunicorn[1] does the right thing (takes an IP address and binds to the corresponding interface, or takes a domain name, resolves it to >the IP address, and binds that to the corresponding interface). It does not substitute localhost. Sorry not to reply to ruth on this before, my main experience of this issue was running in a Kubernetes cluster using Docker, using https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman as the basis for the images. What follows is my own research on this issue and it may be completely wrong. Taking the default Mailman Core setting: [webservice] hostname: localhost This makes Mailman-Core listen on the loopback address (via name lookup) on the configured port for incoming REST requests. When it responds to these requests, it sends out in the response a self_link address which matches the [webservice] hostname Parameter. Connecting clients (such as Postorius) need to connect to Mailman-Core on the given hostname (eg http://localhost in the default case where Mailman Core and Web components are installed to the same machine. However if the [webservice] hostname: parameter is set to something like 0.0.0.0, then although you can direct Postorius (via DNS lookup or IP address) at the Mailman Core instance, it fails to work properly because the resulting response sent back from Mailman Core will include self_links pointing at 0.0.0.0 which will not be usable as a URL by the REST client. A fix for this issue is to set the [webservice] hostname parameter to a FQDN or IP address which can be resolved by the machine running the Web components, and as long as the base URL that Postorius tries to use for the Mailman Core access is the same as in the [webservice] hostname parameter, you are good to go. It appears that when specifying a FQDN in the [webservice] hostname parameter, that the system will look up the IP address for that host using the systems name resolution function. This has the side affect of potentially listening on the wrong interface (localhost) if the system hosts file is set such that the machine's FQDN points to 127.0.0.1. In my case my containers were behind CoreDNS and this wasn't an issue for me, but had I tried this for example on a Debian system I would have come against the same issue that Ruth has as it will automatically set the FQDN of the system to resolve to 127.0.0.1 by way of the Hosts file. Adding the network IP address of the system with the FQDN in the hosts file should fix this issue. > > IMO, the hostname parameter needs to be split up into a "what address > should the rest of the world use to address me" and separately "what > address(es) should I listen on".

An address is a rendezvous point; if you're not listening on the address that others are using, you won't meet. What good does it do to split them up? I agree with this, we need a setting for which interface for Gunicorn to listen on, and what Mailman Core sends out in the self_link attribute when responding to REST requests. Thanks. Andrew.

I've added it in the settings.py file. In the last part of your suggestions you wrote: "I suggest you do pip install --upgrade hyperkitty mailman-hyperkitty and ensure it installs hyperkitty 1.3.5 and mailman-hyperkitty 1.2.0" But this is exactly what made me fall in this mess: I realized that the versions of hiperkitty and mailman-hiperkitty in that server were outdated.. and I tried update them separately, forgetting the saying "if it works, don't touch it" (si funciona, no lo toques). In my first message I listed the versions of all the items, but to refresh it, as they are now: (from pip list) ... gunicorn 20.1.0 HyperKitty 1.3.5 ... mailman 3.3.5 mailman-hyperkitty 1.2.0 mailmanclient 3.3.3 ... mistune 2.0.1 ... mod-wsgi 4.7.1 ... postorius 1.3.6 (end of pip list) I did the upgrade of all of it. The "migration" process output the same warning as before about to doing a "makemigration" (I did not this time) Thinking that the problem in the "migrate" and "makemigration" process could be that I touched the mistune/scanner.py to add escape and escape_html imports, I deleted that two lines. Then all went bad: the postorius list page didn't show anymore. The error.log form the apache server shows django.template.library.InvalidTemplateLibrary: Invalid template library specified. ImportError raised when trying to load 'hyperkitty.templatetags.decorate': cannot import name 'escape_html' from 'mistune.scanner' (/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/mistune/scanner.py) So I tried to put them back (but I had problems with, I believe, the __pychache__). I had to reinstall mistune and write back this lines that I found in a previous thread from William Oliver last 12/28/21 I've finally came back to administering the lists via postorius. I created a new list to do the tests without disturbing the rest. And now I am at the exact same point: No message is archived and the log shows: ERROR 2022-01-06 12:38:45,574 39059 hyperkitty.views.mailman The MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_KEY was not sent as the Authorization HTTP header.

Awhile back Stephen Turnbull suggested a terminology guide that included an MM3-specific definition of FQDNs. Also in an MM3 context, I think it would be useful to distinguish between mail hosts and web hosts and domains (all in the general Internet sense) and mail domains and sites (in the MM3/Django/Postorious/Hyperkitty sense). Not sure I fully understand these distinctions yet, but I can take a crack at it. dn

I think the issue is your mailmanclient is too old.

Mailman backend maintenance task

by Stephen J. Turnbull

Hi, Eugenio, I wrote this earlier but am in the middle of moving my office so my mail has been intermittent. I have been following your discussion with Abhilash, and he's definitely the expert, especially if you are using the containers he creates and distributes. But there's some information here he hasn't mentioned yet. Please consider the following discussion to be background that allows you to understand some of the considerations. I've only run the Mailman 3 suite with all three running constantly on the same host, so I have no experience with this kind of issue. eugenio.jordan(a)esa.int writes: > Our customer is currently using PostGRESQL as backend, and we would > like to perform some maintenance tasks, namely running vacuum full, > or at least trying to rebuild hyperkitty_email primary key related > index.

Mailman core can certainly run without either Postorius or HyperKitty. Controlling Mailman core (moderation, helping users) without Postorius is annoying, but it can be done. If you stop the HyperKitty process, what should happen, I believe, is that posts for archiving will accumulate in the 'archive' queue until HyperKitty is available again. It's been a while since I studied this so I could be completely wrong, but as I understand it HyperKitty and Postorius are not daemon processes. Rather, they are WSGI applications, which means they are subprocesses spawned by your webserver, and controlled by it. In order to keep them from running, you would reconfigure the webserver to not call those WSGI applications. How that is done is specific to the webserver and the WSGI module. If you are running from Docker containers, most likely, you can just stop their containers. The larger problem is that Mailman core uses a RDBMS. Normally both Django and Mailman are referring to the same RDBMS, PostgreSQL in your case. I'm not familiar with the vaccuum operation; if it requires taking the whole RDBMS down, and Mailman is running on that RDBMS, you're out of luck. Mailman can accept posts and queue them, but it can't deliver them to subscribers without access to the RDBMS tables. If it's just a matter of locking some tables while other are available, then it should work because the tables used by core and HyperKitty are disjoint as far as I know. (I think Postorius and HyperKitty both use Django's user tables for authorization, so at least for those tables both Postorius and HyperKitty will have to be down, but core can continue running because its database is completely separate.) > Regarding the former, as far as I have read, the "mappings" lists > -> addresses are stored just in the database, so if we run some > kind of procedure or task like vacuum which will lock exclusively > tables, or want anyway to have the database stopped for a cold > backup or whatever, Mailman willl not work, that is, again the > mails addressed to the distribution lists will not be > delivered. Will you please confirm this point, too? That depends on how "vacuum" works. If you can tell the RDBMS not to lock Mailman core's tables, it can continue to run. Definitely if the database is not running, Mailman will continue to receive and store the posts, but it won't be able to distribute mail to subscribers until its tables are available again. At that point the queued posts will be processed normally, except that if there's a large backlog, they won't go out in a quick burst, it may take a while. One possible worry, depending on how you are connected to the Internet, is that your provider may interpret the sudden burst of outgoing mail when Mailman comes back on line as spam or some other sort of mischief. Mailman has no way to throttle this: it feeds messages to the MTA until the MTA says "stop". Then it waits until the MTA is ready again. Regards, Steve
