This is something we've known for a while and haven't been able to fix properly. https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/issues/414 https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/issues/195 There more than one open issue for this. And one of the reasons it hasn't been fixed yet is that it is larger problem than most low hanging fruits that gets fixed in the available time window for the us to work on issue. This is a long weekend for me, so I'll start some work on this, but not sure if that would be enough to finish. > b. You cannot see, on this dialog, what the inherited value is. https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/issues/476 I opened an issue for this too, but this might be a little bit longer of a task because the whole inheritance and calculation of effective preference/setting happens in Core. It would require that Core expose the effective values. We do have some calculation of preferences in Postorius to display the "Global Mailman preferences" page for a User. > This is not user-friendly. > > May I suggest the following: > > That each option shows the following: > > o Value 1 > o Value 2 > (or the equivalent for pull-down menus) > > A box showing inheritance status: > [ ] Use inherited value from address-based preference: Value2 > > If the ‘Use inherited value’ is chosen, then the inherited value shows. > but the value radio buttons become non-selectable.

If it is, then increasing the worker out timeout setting for gunicorn should work. You tend to get such errors when doing an export of a large membership roster. This is the first time I have seen it related to a held message. I have this in my setup: mailman.cfg: [webservice] configuration: /opt/mailman/mm/gunicorn.cfg gunicorn.cfg: [gunicorn] workers = 4 timeout = 900 You will need to restart gunicorn after adjusting the timeout setting. -- Please let me know if you need further assistance.

The recent change has been in the underlying security library to use Rust language in some parts of it. That has resulting in 100s and 1000s of applications/CI and other stuff failing.

There shouldn't be any, but if the issue is with accessing postorius templates, that might make it worse. If you want only the system default templates, you could do this database query to remove any non-defaults: DELETE FROM templates; That will ensure that you aren't accessing Postorius for any templates. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

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

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.
