You can install mailman following https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html and keep your existing database(s) which will include all lists and memberships. The current released versions of Postorius include only emails in the csv export. This is fixed for the next release by https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/merge_requests/993 You can currently get a list of members with display names with the `mailman members` command. See `mailman members --help`. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

Re: How to edit default 'Reject (with notification)' message

The template you want is described in Postorius as [list.user.notice.rejected] Notice sent to a poster when their message has been rejected automatically You can set it in Postorius per list or per domain or you can set it sitewide by putting it in Mailman's var/templates/site/en/list.user.notice.rejected.txt and if you do that, be sure the Mailman user has access to read it. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Re: mailman addmember/syncmember commands print undecoded UTF-8 [ADD] or [DEL] mail addresses in its messages like "[ADD] =?utf-8?q?John_=....."

Presumably these are being picked up from an email header that has the display name properly RFC 2047 encoded but then not decoded for the database address or user record. This could be a bug, but without knowing the exact scenario that results in these encoded display names, it's difficult to know where the bug might be. In what postorius list (members or non-members) are you seeing these? Are there log messages about them in the subscribe log (by default written to mailman.log)? -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Well, as I couldn't locate which legacy accepted to post non-member addresses were permitted, I solved it deleting all of them (thanks again Mark) and adding via Postorius to the list of "hold these non-members messages" that I will examine and decide if it is a legitimate send. Thanks a lot for your detailed explanation.

Re: Held messages: Long time waiating for response of the Mailman API

On 1/18/22 06:24, Stephan Krinetzki wrote: > Hello, > > We are using Mailman 3.3.5 with Hyperkitty 1.3.5. Mailman 3 is installed in a venv and deployed using Apache and uwsgi. This works quite well so far, only withheld messages cause us a problem: If we try to approve them via Postorius, the message is delivered to the list immediately, but the success message in Postorius takes a long time - on average the process hangs for three minutes until the message is no longer displayed. We have already adjusted the timeout in gunicorn.cfg, but this does not improve the situation. Are there any tips on how we can speed up the REST API? Or is it even a configuration error? There are two steps in handling the POST for a held message. The first step is accepting, rejecting or discarding the message. This is happening immediately. The second step is handling the poster's moderation action based on the choice from the Set member moderation dropdown in the view of the held message. This is processed by the code at <https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/blob/master/src/postorius/views/list…>. If no selection has been made, the default value POSTed for moderation_choice is `no-action` and that code is skipped. If it is one of the choices `Hold for moderation`, `Reject (with notification)`, `Discard (no notification)`, `Accept immediately (bypass other rules)` or `Default processing` that is processed. So presumably a selection has been made and processing is stuck on getting the member or setting the member's moderation action. Possibly the logs of your database manager will have information. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

There has to be. You can't get a permissions error on sass if it doesn't exist (well, maybe if you don't have permission to search a superordinate directory, but that's unlikely).

sqlite3 Database "read only" error on mailman_sync job

by ugniusviln＠gmail.com

Hi. All the project installation is under the same user / path and it works. Archiving working as well, (just one remark: no matter what to set in postorius, hyperkitty shows list as public) I have found work around - it is possible to change list as private in "admin" page. I started to get issues with runjobs after I have created couple of new lists with "no archive" option. If as owner user from project home I run: django-admin mailman_sync Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/user/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/db/backends/utils.py", line 84, in _execute return self.cursor.execute(sql, params) File "/home/user/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/db/backends/sqlite3/base.py", line 383, in execute return Database.Cursor.execute(self, query, params) sqlite3.OperationalError: attempt to write a readonly database "django-admin runjob sync_mailman " - makes read only errors as well. "django-admin runjob new_lists_from_mailman" django.db.utils.OperationalError: attempt to write a readonly database END TRACEBACK I did not find information how to fix this. It was worked without errors before. I noticed, that if I stop mailman, "django-admin mailman_sync" starts to work. If I start "mailman start", then "django-admin mailman_sync" failing again. I did not check other jobs, but I think what is related to database, will get errors. Seems mailman locking the database. It is not a file permissions issue. Mailman db location is: /project_directory/var/data/mailman.db if to rename /project_directory/var/data/mailman.db to something, mailman creates database file size 0, django-admin runjobs start working, but of course postorius stops working. I did it for testing. I have returned this database file back, postorius started to work again, but django-admin runjobs does not work, error: "database read only". Please help me how to fix this issue.
