Or the process could be implemented with a workflow starting at the landing page: - a prominent button "change address" takes you to the addresses page - each address would have a "change address" button which has a form prompting for the new address - submitting the form sends a verification code to the address, - clicking on the verification link takes you to a page which asks if the old address should be deleted or kept - if you click "keep", you get a list of memberships using the old address with radio buttons for "keep <old>" and "change to <new>". Bonus points for short-circuiting trivial cases (only one address, only one subscription). Need to handle primary address. The main problem is (as always) the Postorius authentication step.

Re: Postorius claims 2 messages held when there are none - out of sync

They are messages which are held for moderator action and bounce DSN messages. Held messages should be removed from the message store when they are handled by a moderator. If there are no held messages in Postorius for any list, any in the message store can be safely removed. Bounce DSNs are only needed for a very short time. They are saved when a bounce is received and removed after a few days by the task runner, but they are only needed until they are attached to the admin notice which happens within minutes, and this was only implemented in Mailman 3.3.5. Prior to that bounce DSNs weren't saved. Probably most if not all of the messages in your message store are not needed and could be deleted, but it's more complicated than that because there are also entries in various database tables that should be removed as well. > Is there an outline as to how to clean up the var/messages hierarchy? > (I assume one has to be careful not to remove current held messages and > maybe old ones that have not been processed; or maybe "old ones" can all > be assumed orphaned, and thus, removed w/o concern?) You could try something like this in mailman shell ``` >>> pendings = getUtility(IPendings) >>> messages = getUtility(IMessageStore) >>> mids = [] >>> for mlist in getUtility(IListManager): ... requests = IListRequests(mlist) ... for request in requests.held_requests: ... key, data = requests.get_request(request.id) ... if data.get('_mod_message_id'): ... mids.append(data.get('_mod_message_id')) ... >>> for key, data in pendings: ... mid = data.get('_mod_message_id') ... if data['type'] != 'probe' and mid and mid not in mids: ... pendings.confirm(key, expunge=True) ... messages.delete_message(mid) ... >>> commit() This will find all the message ids from all held message requests, and then find those pendings for message ids not DSNs and not found in requests and delete the pending an the message store message. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

I edited the FQDN down to the hostname in the email for simplicity, but even if it was in the log the hostname does map properly (i.e. host greyarea-post and host greyarea.cam.ivimey.org return the same thing). In referring to the ConnectionError from: 'ConnectionError(MaxRetryError("HTTPConnectionPool(host=\'0.0.0.0\', port=8870): Max retries exceeded with url: /3.1/domains/ch-bc.org.uk (Caused by NewConnectionError(\'<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7f5416db8518>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused\',))",),)') if you reconstruct the url passed in it was presumably: "http://0.0.0.0:8870/3.1/domains/ch-bc.org.uk" ... and if that is correct I am not surprised to see an error message.

This release includes tons of new features and bug fixes. We had support from tons of new contributors and I, on behalf of the whole Mailman Core team, would like to thank each one of you. Mailman Core includes support for plugins, more attributes exposed in REST API and improved support for migrating Mailman 2.x lists. You can now migrate settings and memberships from Mailman 2.x lists to Mailman 3.1. Full change log is available here: https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/NEWS.html#la-vill… Postorius, The New Mailman Web UI, now has more settings exposed. The most noteworthy of the features include Python 3.5+ support. Also, you can now set templates for headers, footers and automatic responses inside of Postorius. Full change log is available here: https://postorius.readthedocs.io/en/latest/news.html#id1 Hyperkitty, the next-generation mailing-list archiver, has also jumped on the Python 3.5+ wagon and supports all the latest and stable versions of Django. Importing archives from Mailman 2.x is now even more improved. Full change log is available here: https://hyperkitty.readthedocs.io/en/latest/news.html#id1 All the components can be downloaded from https://pypi.org. Mailman is free software for managing email mailing lists and e-newsletters. Mailman is used for all the python.org and SourceForge.net mailing lists, as well as at hundreds of other sites. The Full documentation for the Suite is available at: http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/ For more information, please see our web site at one of: http://www.list.org https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman http://mailman.sourceforge.net/ https://mirror.list.org/ -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

Are they the same processes? Presumably your mailman3.service actually uses the `mailman start` command to start Mailman. The `mailman` command is a shell with many subcommands for various purposes including starting and stopping Mailman. > Oh and does the /3.1 matter at the end of the Rest url for Django?

I had my mailman3-web.service starting `mailman-web` instead of `uwsgi` somehow. I changed that to match the docs, did the `systemctl daemon-reload`, etc. but still had similar problems. I went through all my config files carefully, I wiped the static folder completely and rebuilt it, and I finally have the last piece of the puzzle in place and my web interface is working! I'm not sure which change actually fixed the issue though. (When looking at "Available lists" my header has "example.com" in the top-left corner?!?) Thank you! I think I need to backup what I have and do a clean re-install so I have a better grasp of what's going on with all these components. Mailman3 looks quite nice, gotta say! rb

Mailman3 Issue

by Danny Weddle

For some weird reason, the file /mailman/var/data/postfix_domains has a whitespace added to every mail domain. I checked the postfix main.cf file for any white spaces, but did not see any. I get errors every time that I try to add a list. The console shows whitespace " example.org" in the list.

Re: Postorius confirmation mails shown in uwsgi-error.log but not sent

* Mark Sapiro: >> $ grep ^EMAIL settings.py >> EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' >> EMAIL_HOST = 'localhost' >> EMAIL_PORT = 25 > > but is this perhaps overridden in a settings_local.py file? I don't have a local settings file. I cloned the suite from GitLab[1] master branch and modified the existing settings.py, based on Mailman's documentation. [1] https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-suite.git I just verified that EMAIL_BACKEND is not redefined anywhere: $ grep -r 'mail\.backends' . Binary file ./__pycache__/settings.cpython-38.pyc matches ./settings.py:EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' ./settings.py:# EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.filebased.EmailBackend' I commented out the "if DEBUG == True" lines, which explains match number three. As far as I can see, the mail backed definition for Django is as it should be. I could provide the differences between my settings.py and the Git HEAD version if you think that might help. -Ralph
