Search results for "Postorius" - Mailman-users

Postorius extremely slow on some of the mailinglists

The only thing I can think of is that something weird is happening with requests (held messages) on those lists. The runner is waiting on the database server, and eventually timing out, I think. I believe you will find the corresponding messages under $var_dir/messages (var_dir is usually set in mailman.cfg, if not I believe it defaults to /usr/local/mailman3/var). Unfortunately I don't know how to link those entries to the messages in that directory tree. You can "grep -ri '^list-id:.*<your.list.id>$' messages" for held posts via the problem list if you have list ID on (that's the default for recent Mailman) and if that's not going to work you could use "grep -rF 'your(a)list.id' messages" for a less precise search. It's not a good idea to delete them from the file system (I think Mailman is robust to that but I'm not sure). However, if one looks like spam you could try working at a slightly lower level than Postorius by using mailmanclient directly. See https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/rest/docs/…. If that doesn't work (for example listing the requests for a list times out the same way in mailmanclient), you could try directly querying the database server to see what's going on. The check for an unusual number of requests that might be an attack is to connect to the database server with its command line utility. I'm not on CLI terms with MySQL but for PostgreSQL it's $ su - mailman $ psql mailman=> select mailing_list_id, count(mailing_list_id) from _request group by mailing_list_id; mailman=> select id, list_id from mailinglist; and you can append " where id = $mailing_list_id" to the second to the second one to find the List-Id for a specific mailing list. That's just plain SQL including the count function as far as I know, so should work in any backend that Mailman can use. If you're handy with SQL you could do all that with a join but I'm not. ;-) > Any idea why this happens and how it can be solved? Aside from a really astonishingly large number of pending requests (as tested above with count()), perhaps there's something in the requests themselves. If there aren't literally thousands of requests for a problem list you can list them with mailman=> select key, mailing_list_id from _request; Look for odd characters in the key field. One oddity that I'mm pretty sure is not a problem is something of the form "\r\n <message-id>" (my instance lists those fine). There's a bug in Exchange (IIRC) which sometimes includes invalid characters (specifically "[" and "]") in message IDs which I believe we worked around only quite recently, although I don't recall if it affected APIs for requests. Control characters and non-ASCII might also cause trouble, If your database server is MySQL, is it set up to handle the full range of Unicode (I think the option is utf8mbcs)? Lacking that is known to cause problems when headers and maybe body contain emoticons or other extended Unicode characters. Again I don't recall if crashing the REST runner is a known symptom. If none of the above works, there's always the "hit it with a hammmer" approach. Have you tried restarting both Postorius and Mailman? How about restarting the database server? How about all three? As a last resort, it's probably possible to delete the requests from the filesystem and the database by hand. But I don't want to think about that unless absolutely necessary. Steve

Do I understand correctly that you deleted the MM 2.1 imported list and created a new list in Postorius with just two members and it doesn't work. If that understanding is not correct, please outline all the steps you took to arrive at the current list that doesn't work. Also, please capture one of the .pck or .bak files from the out queue and send it to me off list.

Re: Approve an email

by Eggert Ehmke

Not sure about Fedora, but there seem to be some issues with distribution specific packages. Many users have got good results with the virtualenv installation described here: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html this description is Debian/Ubuntu related, but should work for Fedora too. In the end you get a system that is much more up to date and you get support here in the mm3-users list. My mailman3 runs in venv on Debian. Hope that helps. Am Montag, 26.

There's something strange here. If you look at the migrations at the head of the gitlab branch at https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/tree/master/src/postorius/migrations, you'll see that migration 17 is named 0017_alter_emailtemplate_language.py, not 0017_auto_20220628_1132. I suggest comparing the content of your postorius/migrations/ directory with the GitLab head and resolving any differences. > Can I just ignore this behavior? At the moment, I don't dare to carry out these steps on my > production system. Would be nice to shed some light on this. I'm guessing at some point you installed something which required you to manually make this migration and that produced this conflict. Do you have both 0017_alter_emailtemplate_language.py and 0017_auto_20220628_1132 in your postorius/migrations/ directory? If so, probably just removing 0017_auto_20220628_1132 will fix this? -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Managing them via Postorius first requires updating the REST API to read and set the topic attributes and then updating Postorius to display/set them. Further, there is currently no implementation for list member topics of interest either in Mailman core or the REST API. I.e., there is no way for a list member to indicate topics of interest. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

If you ran the clean_users.py script with default settings, it only removed Django users. To delete Mailman users with no subscriptions or ownerships, you have to set DELETE_MAILMAN_USER = True As it says, # Set True to delete Mailman users that have no memberships with any role. # Set False to not delete Mailman users. You can change the setting for DELETE_MAILMAN_USER to True and run it again and it will delete those Mailman users. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
