If you mean the core REST API, you won't find any useful examples on the Internet. Anything you do find should be considered a form of self-harm and/or an insider threat. Access to the REST API is not securely authenticated, and therefore should never be exposed to the Internet. This API is expected to be contained either to localhost, or to a subnet behind a firewall that prohibits access to that port except from the host(s) serving HyperKitty and/or Postorius. If that's what you're trying to do, I would suggest a secure tunnel (not a generic VPN, but a specific tunnel to the API port). If you're talking about the Django administrative API to Postorius, you'll probably get a better answer faster from Django channels. Mark may know but he won't be available until mid-September most likely. As I wrote earlier, as far as I know you need to access the Postorius port, provide credentials, get the CSRF token, and then access Django. Regards, Steve

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

by Stephan Krinetzki

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? Greetings Stephan

I am just wondering if Core's API should do this (probably not by default, but with a bool parameter that P can use every time), or should we iterate over all addresses and PATCH the display names in them (would be slower, with multiple API requests). I am leaning towards the first option.

You can use sqlite, but if you don't already have a mysql/mariadb database on the server, we recommend postgresql for performance and robustness. I personally have had issues with mysql and use postgresql on one production server that uses mysql for other applications. > I think I can follow the instructions to set up postfix. > > In the section 'Configure Web Frontend', it discusses setting up the administrator. As I want to put Mailman on /srv/mailman I can create that, but what should the owner/permissions be? Later the docs discuss editing Django's settings.py. Where do I find that file? I'll note here that my experience with python is quite limited and my knowledge of Django is nil. There should be a 'mailman' user that is the user under which you run things. Don't run things as root. sudo chown -R mailman:mailman /srv/mailman For settings.py and some others, see <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-suite/-/tree/master/mailman-suite_project>. The end of settings.py imports from settings_local so you put your local overrides in settings_local.py in the same directory as settings.py > Later in the section 'Set up HyperKitty', it sends me to a page that discusses installing it. I did that with pip3. Then it says to 'Setup your django project'. What django project is that. Postorius and HyperKitty. See settings.py. These files, settings.py and settings_local.py need to be in a directory that also includes an empty __init__.py so python can import from it and this directory needs to be in the path that Django runs with. This is a shell script I use to run django. It uses a virtualenv, but that isn't necessary. Also my stuff is in /opt/mailman/mm/, but it could just as well be /srv/mailman. #!/bin/bash . /opt/mailman/mm/venv/bin/activate cd /opt/mailman/mm export PYTHONPATH=/opt/mailman/mm export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings django-admin $@ > I would appreciate advice or a pointer to where I can figure this out.

List nonmembers

by Stephen J. Turnbull

Andrew Bernard writes: > Under Users for a list, there is a category for List > nonmembers. What does this term mean? [It's rather curious > philosophically when you think about it, because I would have > thought that the category [all humans - list members] fits that > category term.] I don't recall the exact definition of "list member", but I can't resist explaining the "philosophy". :-) In the mail system as a whole, what we can confirm is a mailable mailbox. That corresponds to an *address* in Mailman. But users (typically humans) often have multiple addresses, that they would like to configure together (eg, single signon, same setting for not-me-too, etc). Thus we have a *user* concept, which requires a agent to log in and establish a *user* and attach addresses to it. I don't remember the exact details, but both *users* and *addresses* can exist independently of the other, though they are normally linked. Finally, a *subscription* is a link between an *address* and a *mailing list*. ISTR that merging *users* in the database is kind of annoying, so instead of automatically creating a *user* to back every known *address* (eg, when banned or moderated), the *address* is allowed to participate in the list as a banned or moderated address without being related to a *user*. There may be other cases where an *address* lacks a *user*. I'm pretty sure there are ways in Postorius to create a *user* that has no *addresses*, although I've not tried, and I don't know if such Postorius users would be reflected in the core database.

That’s the way it should be done. Those actions may not be exposed yet in Postorius or the CLI, so you might have to do it with a `wishlist` script. -Barry

Re: WSGI configuration

by Andrew Hodder

It appears you're looking at the settings for your wsgi service (it may be not all those variables are necessary, I'm using uwsgi and it's missing some of those). That's it's own service separate from mailman; it exists as a middle man between the django (postorius/hyperkitty) and your webserver. I have a /etc/uwsgi.d/postorius.ini config like this (please note I'm using this with nginx instead of apache): [uwsgi] uid = nginx gid = nginx plugin = python module = postorius.wsgi virtualenv = /opt/mailman/venv2/ wsgi-file = /opt/mailman/postorius/postorius/wsgi.py socket = /opt/mailman/%n.sock chmod-socket = 777 stats = 127.0.0.1:9191 pidfile = /opt/mailman/%n.pid daemonize = /var/log/uwsgi/%n.log logto = /var/log/uwsgi/%n_details.log master = true workers = 4 enable-threads = true vaccum = true Sincerely, Andrew Hodder Systems Administrator Support Operations, Afilias E-mail: drew(a)afilias.info Phone: +1 416.673.4164 Fax: +1 416.646.1541 On Thu, Oct 5, 2017 at 9:50 AM, Loring <rloring(a)bnl.gov> wrote: > So I am starting to install mailman3 and following the documentation and > am up to the point of configuring the wsgi.
