I don't know how Postfix does the aliasing but for my case it would make sense to get the directories created as soon as possible, not sure if the digest handler would be soon enough or not. The directory is created when the list is created and should always be there if the list is there. The idea behind <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/699> is only to correct a situation where the directory for a list is absent because it was deleted or the server was restored from a backup that didn't contain it. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

It depends on which archiver(s) if any are enabled for the list. For the prototype archiver, messages are archived in Maildir format, <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maildir>, in the directory var/archives/prototype/<list-address>/ For Hyperkitty, messages are stored in the database in the hyperkitty_email table and non-plain text parts are in the hyperkitty_attachment table, but you don't need to know that because in any HyperKitty view, i.e. a message view, a thread view, a threads by month view ot an all threads view, there is a button to download all the messages in that view as a gzipped .mbox file. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Also, this is all changed in HyperKitty 1.3.5 with the addition of optional markdown rendering. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

The migrations are defined in /mailman/database/alembic/versions/. Your current version is is stored in the database in the alembic_version table. When Mailman core is started, all migrations from your current version to the latest version will be applied to bring your database up to date. I.e., you don't need to be concerned about schema changes upon upgrade. They are handled automatically. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

It's been improved by https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/merge_requests/1362, however usually the underlying issue is inability to access a header or footer template when decorating the message. This in turn is most likely caused by some template(s) in Mailman's var/templates/ directory being owned by `root` or some other non-mailman user and not readable by the Mailman user which in turn most likely results from running `mailman import21` as root. Bottom line - check that all sub-directories and files in Mailman's var/templates/ directory are searchable and readable by the Mailman user. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

A Mailman 2.1 list has possibly as many as 4 configuration files. - config.pck (not pkl) is the current list configuration. - config.pck.last is the immediately prior configuration used in case config.pck is corrupt or missing. In addition there may be config.db and config.db.last files. These only exist if the list predates MM 2.1 and should be removed because they're old and could be used as a fallback if both config.pck and config.pck.last are missing or corrupt. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Too many From headers. See https://senders.yahooinc.com/smtp-error-codes#rfc-compliance-failures > > What would cause mailman to build too many from headers when distributing email? It appears the from address is repeated 5 times in the from field. I'm guessing it is something in my configuration but what and where? I don't think Mailman can do this. Maybe it's something in fetchmail that's doing it. It's not clear what you are saying. Is it one From: with the address repeated 5 times or is it 5 From: headers?. Either way, I don't think it's Mailman. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan
