I can access http://localhost:8000/mailman3/api/templates/list/community.lists.example.c… with curl and immediately get the response. So it still looks to me as if the response is stuck in the tcp buffers of the connection and not pushed immediately, but only once the requestor times out after 5 seconds and closes the connection.

problem with postorius initial setup

by John Covici

Hi. I am trying to setup postorius, but I have run into a problem. I am using the example project, except I am using postgresql instead of sqlite3. I ran python manage.py migrate which was successful. On running the development server I get: Exception in thread django-main-thread: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/utils/module_loading.py", line 20, in import_string return getattr(module, class_name) AttributeError: module 'postorius.middleware' has no attribute 'APICountingMiddleware' The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/servers/basehttp.py", line 45, in get_internal_wsgi_application return import_string(app_path) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/utils/module_loading.py", line 17, in import_string module = import_module(module_path) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/importlib/__init__.py", line 127, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1014, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 991, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 975, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 671, in _load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 783, in exec_module File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 219, in _call_with_frames_removed File "/home/covici/mailman_django/example_project/wsgi.py", line 17, in <module> application = get_wsgi_application() File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/wsgi.py", line 13, in get_wsgi_application return WSGIHandler() File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/handlers/wsgi.py", line 127, in __init__ self.load_middleware() File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 40, in load_middleware middleware = import_string(middleware_path) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/utils/module_loading.py", line 22, in import_string raise ImportError('Module "%s" does not define a "%s" attribute/class' % ( ImportError: Module "postorius.middleware" does not define a "APICountingMiddleware" attribute/class The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.8/threading.py", line 932, in _bootstrap_inner self.run() File "/usr/lib/python3.8/threading.py", line 870, in run self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/utils/autoreload.py", line 53, in wrapper fn(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/management/commands/runserver.py", line 138, in inner_run handler = self.get_handler(*args, **options) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/contrib/staticfiles/management/commands/runserver.py", line 27, in get_handler handler = super().get_handler(*args, **options) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/management/commands/runserver.py", line 65, in get_handler return get_internal_wsgi_application() File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/servers/basehttp.py", line 47, in get_internal_wsgi_application raise ImproperlyConfigured( django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: WSGI application 'wsgi.application' could not be loaded; Error importing module.

Question after upgrade to mm 3.2.3 and latest postorius

I forget exactly what my story was, but I did recompile on Linux and it was straightforward. Of course there are a million reasons why you might not want to do that. I just wanted to take this chance to report that for 3.6 and 3.7 this was very straightforward, in case anybody else is thinking about doing it.

Re: Set Postorius interface locale

by Duane Raymond

Thanks - here is where that got ne so far... I have set the modest goal of changing a string on the list subscription page from the form label "Your name (optional)" to "Your name (and organisation)" What I did was 1) I edited /opt/mailman/mm/settings.py and changed the LANGUAGE_CODE from 'en-us' to 'en-gb' (or should I do it at /opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/falcon/bench/dj/dj/settings.py or another location?) 2) Then I switched user using "su mailman" and started the venv environment (using: source /opt/mailman/mm/venv/bin/activate) 3) I edit the po file at /opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/postorius/locale/ and specifically I am testing it on editing en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/django.po - is this the correct location? 4) I run: mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/falcon/bench/dj/manage.py compilemessages - is this the correct one to run? After this, nothing changed on the list page yet. 5) After that I changed directory into "/opt/mailman/mm/static" and run python ./mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/falcon/bench/dj/manage.py collectstatic - but this produces an error about ROOT_STATIC not being set ...and I didn't want to fiddle too much in case I overwrote the current functioning site ;-) Is the collectstatic static necessary after running compilemessages? Am I using the right files to run it? Am I editing them in the right location? Cheers, Duane

Re: Default values for lists in Mailman 3

There is a draft merge request at https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/merge_requests/930 which implements a framework for setting Postorius defaults and creates a setting to set the default for pre-verified on the mass subscription page. Once merged, this can easily be extended to provide a default for Invitation.

Is there a > documentation of the default values for lists in Mailman 3? This is done by creating a list style with the desired defaults. See https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/styles/doc… for documentation of styles and see https://gitlab.com/mailman/example-mailman-plugin for an example of creating a plugin in Mailman core to make a persistent style. There is no specific doc for the list settings. You need to look at https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/blob/master/src/mailman/styles/base.py for the various settings and https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/blob/master/src/mailman/styles/default… to see which default classes are applied for various styles. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Yes, this is an outlook thing, but you do have some control. See the FAQ article at <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030707> for a more detailed explanation, but the issue is that after any content filtering has been applied, the message is still multipart so Mailman adds the footer as a separate MIME text/plain part at the end of the message. You can avoid this by doing heavy content filtering on the messages. Namely, accept only multipart, text/plain and text/html, collapse alternatives and convert html to plain text. Note that some of this involves updating the list's pass_types which is not exposed in Postorius before 1.3.3 which is not yet released. > 2.

Mailman, etc. upgrade woes and persistent bugs

I'm sorry to hear about this. > This version started supporting bounce processing, but > how in the world was this upgrade allowed to act on bounces that > were being collected PRIOR to enabling bounce processing?? Well, if bounce processing were occurring as designed, there would be very few bounces in the queue. So it's a difficult thing to anticipate until it happens. And curiously I haven't heard of this before. I mean, if it were going to happen, I would expect that it would have happened at the very busy lists at python.org. So maybe you have an unusually large number of bounces? Not saying it couldn't have been anticipated that *somebody* would have that situation, but we'd have to be extremely lucky, or have a dedicated "red team" looking for ways the feature can break, to find it before installing it. I'm sorry it happened, but AFAICS it's "one of those things". Technically, it appears that the model for bounce information is initialized based on the time of processing, rather than the (alleged) time of injection or the (presumably trustworthy) time of receipt by the local MTA. I don't have time to check further on if that's modified later, but "not modified" explains what you saw very well. I guess you must have had many hundreds of bounce messages in the queue. Probably the simplest way to deal with this is to clear the bounce queue while upgrading, or at least offer the option. Losing a few hours' worth of bounce messages (if they're being processed normally) isn't going to hurt anything. It would also be simple to provide a report of who bounced and the most recent bounce, if desired. > I then looked at several of the disabled accounts, but the > subscription info page in Postorius had no information about > whether an account was enabled or disabled. Why is this not > displayed???. It is for me when I've authenticated, both for lists where I'm owner and for lists where I'm just a subscriber. (However, the lists where I'm subscriber are on python.org where Mark is the site admin, and may be a little ahead of released versions.) > The members can't see if their account is enabled. I guess they are email-only members, and have not authenticated to Postorius? I don't think we will allow unauthenticated access to user info in Postorius in a distributed version. If you really need it, the fastest route would be to find a contractor to customize Mailman for that -- custom versions are not a priority for us. > Is this another example of the disconnect between Mailman and > Postorius? Hard to say. If it's not the users' failure to authenticate, I would guess this is most likely due to a skew in the upgrade process where the versions of Mailman core and Postorius were mismatched, but as I wrote above, I can see this in the user's setting page for both my "owned" lists and for my "just a subscriber lists". It would be inconvenient in your situation because list admins have to visit the user's options page to see and modify it, but I *can* see it. > Further, even after the upgrade, the moderators still cannot access > the list memberships even though all the lists are set to allow > that. This is a known bug being worked on.

I'm quite sure that this situation could have been addressed quickly and efficiently with a Python script, or in an interactive session with mailmanclient. That doesn't help you now, but in the future feel free to ask us to help with that. We generally are able to respond within a few hours. It's probably not as fast as doing it by hand, but there's the consideration of your time spent. Or if there are Python programmers hanging around, a little fiddling with the mailmanclient command line will probably allow them to figure out what's what, enough to do this. > Please, can the next upgrade include these very basic > fixes/enhancements, which I requested a long time ago: > a. The ability of moderators to see the list membership (a bug). It's in the queue. I can't say when it will be released. > b. The ability of members to change their addresses for all lists > they are subscribed to. What exactly do you want here? I can think of a number of ways to implement that, depending on whether the old address is to be deactivated from the lists, unsubscribed from the lists, or deleted from the Mailman and/or Postorius Users. There may be other variables to consider, as well; I haven't thought about this. AFAICS this is not a trivial feature, and I'd really like to hear from people who want "something like" this about exactly what they want and their use cases. Or we'll release an insufficiently designed feature that causes somebody hundreds of problems.... > c. That when members go to look at their subscription info, they > can actually see the settings. As far as I know, they already can if they have authenticated. If that's not true in your installation(s), we'll need to find out why, because it works for me. Enabling access without authentication is a potentially dangerous change that I currently believe shouldn't happen at all in a Mailman distribution, and will certainly take time to design. If your requirements include unauthenticated access, I would not hold my breath, let alone expect it in the near future. Regards, Steve

Show diplay_name in a list

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to show the display_name of a member in postorius in Members > Subscriber. I was trying to add {{ member.diplay_name }} in the template ${postorius}/templates/postorius/lists/members.html Here an abstract of where I inserted the code: [...] {% for member in members %} <tr> {% if role == 'subscriber' %} <td> <label class="checkbox-inline"> <input type="checkbox" class="member-checkbox" name="choices" id="id_choices_{{ forloop.counter0 }}" value="{{ member.email }}" /> {{ member.display_name }} <{{ member.email }}> </label> [...] I could not figure out why it wouldn't work. I'm running mailman3 Version 3.1.1-9 on an Ubuntu 18.04. Any idea what I was missing there? Thanks in advance for any help. - Ruben

Starting from scratch

by Benjamin Ragheb

Hello! Over the weekend, I attempted to install the Mailman Suite on Debian Stretch. My goal is to set up some low volume mailing lists for family and friends. I ran into some problems, and I'm hoping to get some feedback on my overall approach before I make my second attempt. :-) I figured the safest thing to do would be to use pip to install the latest released version of all the components (core, postorius, hyperkitty, etc.). I copied the files from the [mailman-suite repository][1] to set up a Django project and got it mostly working with Apache and mod_wsgi. [1]: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-suite Unfortunately, I was unable to log into the web interface; when I tried, I got a server error like this: > Exception Type: TypeError at /accounts/login/ > Exception Value: authenticate() takes exactly 0 arguments (3 given) Some research leads me to believe this is happening because authenticate() was changed in Django 1.10, and so I must be using a newer version of Django than the app expects. Given that I installed via Pip, I assumed the right version of Django would automatically be installed... I'm open to the possibility that I am misunderstanding how Pip works, or that postorius's and/or hyperkitty's dependency information is incorrect. The two alternatives I am weighing right now are: 1. Stay the course, and see if I can fix this by learning more about Python, Pip, Django and tinkering with the configuration. 2. Ride the bleeding edge, and install postorius and hyperkitty from git. (I'll probably stick with Mailman Core from Pip, since that seemed to work just fine.) Right now I'm leaning toward #2, because it means I'll be in a better position to patch things if I need to, and it seems like Mailman 3 is still rough enough that I will need to. Also, it looks like the master branches of both postorius and hyperkitty are now Python 3 compatible, which could save me from managing two different versions of Python. Which is the least crazy option? -- Ben
