I do think List Admins would want an interface to help "manage" a user account on behalf of a user then what is currently available in Postorius. I see this come up with my Mailman 2 clients frequently. For instance, a mm2 list member asked their list admin to subscribe them to a list topic to limit the amount of messages they receive. The list admin was new and open up a ticket to find out how they do that in which I replied showing them how they as a list admin, can go in and change options on behalf of a list member. I don't see this functionality built into Mailman 3 nowhere near the extent that Mailman 2 has. Last night a Mailman 3 client wanted to know how they can add a real name to a list member. I said you can't, not as list admin. I directed them to instead of unsubscribe the member and mass subscribe them so they can include a real name along with the email address of the list member. > For alternatives to Postorius and the Mailman shell, Brian Carpenter > (follow Allan's subthread) is working on a new management UI (using > PHP), and I believe there's a working node.js API "out there > somewhere".

There were some very good suggestions that were brought out in this thread and I had already passed them on to my developer.

None of this is really possible in Postorius without modifying source code. However, Postorius is just an example of a web list management UI. While it is non-trivial, it is possible to build your own web UI that either communicates directly with Mailman core's REST API or communicates via MailmanClient. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

This is a bug in Core, for which I have opened https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/759 It seems like the Unsubscriptions via the API do not follow the right codepath and just unsubscribe the user.

Re: SUBSCRIBE_FORM_SECRET in MM3?

Unfortunately, the information I found pertained to Mailman 2. Does this option exist in MM3 as well, or is there a similar option? This feature in MM 2.1 is not very effective. On mail.python.org, this feature as well as reCAPTCHA is enabled (e.g. <https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users>) and we still get periodic attacks of robotic subscribes that get around these measures. To answer your question, no, this does not exist in Postorius which is an entirely different, Django based web UI. Django may have some protections built in; I'm not sure about that, but there's nothing in Postorius itself like this MM 2.1 feature. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

MM3 gateway errors and frequent reboot needs

by Stephen J. Turnbull

hansen(a)rc.org writes: > We have had to reboot the list server almost every week and wonder > if there is something leaking and eating up resources. That's something you would have to check yourself, using Unix tools like ps, df, and lsof or Activity Monitor on Mac. I don't recall any cumulative resource problems like this. Some old reports indicate certain configurations and activity patterns put a lot of instantaneous pressure on the system, but this doesn't sound like that. Also those problems were specific to the software stack (databases, caches, search engines) that was used. The current recommended stacks do not have those problems as far as I know. The only current performance problem I'm aware of is in using the REST API directly to get large collections (eg, 10,000 member subscriber lists). (My currect thinking is that those are best addressed by using the corresponding paged endpoints, but still researching.) However, that is not a cumulative problem, it's a size-of-list problem, so it doesn't sound related. Are you running all of Mailman core, Postorius, and HyperKitty on the same server? For Postorius and HyperKitty, what webserver are you using? What database backend? What other applications are running on the server? What operating system and version? Recent hardware? > I does not appear to be memory, though. The server is slow to > respond (could be because it's overseas) and then after some time > we get intermittent gateway errors and finally we cannot access the > lists online because of the gateway errors. What does "gateway errors" mean? If problems with Internet routing or firewalls, I don't understand how network errors could be arise from a problem in Postorius. Why do you think Postorius could be responsible for those, aside from them appearing after switching to Mailman 3? Are you sure you weren't having them before? > It appears to me that the issue is with Postorius, but I could be > wrong. Do files get closed after opening? Yes, as far as we know. No reason to think otherwise since this is not something that has been reported that I can recall, and Python 3 helps us to code in a style that is not so vulnerable to such leaks. > Are we alone having such issues? So far, yes. > PS: My old MM2 installation could (and did) run without any > help. Not so with MM3. I don't think any of *our* feelings would be hurt if people decided to keep their Mailman 2 installations. :-) It's still great software for what it does. But it took more than 10 years to get there (the first production installations were in about 1994! and it's been feature- stable since about 2005 I'd guess. Unfortunately it wasn't possible to bring in the kind of features that many people need nowadays without a complete rewrite (partly a matter of manpower -- Python 3 brings a lot of power and fun to programming, partly a matter of technical debt making Mailman 2 code hard to change in big ways, and partly a matter of the need to port to Python 3 for the very long run), and the new features themselves changed the way that Mailman (and Mailman's users and administrators) interact with the network.

Re: only show mail domains from web host on web-host-url

by Jens Günther

Thanks, already had a look at the issues and thought with the merge requests that it was solved :-) Maybe I have to update my mailman to 3.3.3 so that it does!? Or is it that you are saying that this hasn't been fixed but tried to and it didn't work!? Actually I see the logic of what you are talking about in the issues, but don't see if what happens with the code can be correct, since I'm unfortunately not a coder. Any other ideas how I could go on / help? This qould be a quite central feature for using mailman3 for us. Thanks anyway.

The Spanish translations for Mailman core and HyperKitty are currently completely up to date with weblate. django-mailman3 differs in one string that was translated on Feb 10 and hasn't yet been merged. Postorius also differs in a few places from the Feb 10 version that hasn't yet been merged. Other than that, the translations should be good. > Is there any way to upgrade the .po files in order to get the last > translation? For the web UI you need to run the django management `compilemessages` command. For Mailman core you need to run ``` cd mailman/messages/es/LC_MESSAGES msgfmt -o mailman.mo mailman.po ``` to compile the mailman.po file for gettext. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Yes, I've made some changes in february 10th, but It were a pair of messages. But that's all about this from me. If in the next upgrade I find that there is any translation missing, I know, thanks to you and Victoriano, how to handle it. And if some new admin installs mailman 3 and try to localize it to spanish and comes to this list to ask how to do a more complete translation... well, these messages can point him or her to the right direction. My postorius web access to the lists is now almost completely translated to spanish and now I can help the users without hesitating language problems. Thanks. Thanks a lot.

I hadn't logged in as admin before, so having done so I can now confirm that having done so this screen shows "0 mail domains" Because I could, I then visited "VIEW SITE" and see a mailing lists page, which is I think the same one I have been trying to visit, except of course now I am logged in. I do now see the correct, and only, mailing list configured on the core server. Returning to the previous "maildomain" page, that now shows the expected mailing list as well. Other admin pages seem to be working fine as well. I think, possibly, that it is now installed and working. ... But I don't know why.
