To what version did you upgrade? This is most likely https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/955 which was fixed in Mailman core 3.3.6, but it could be https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/1027 if the posts are to umbrella lists (lists with other lists as members). -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

When you go to the held messages view in the web UI and click the Subject: of the held message, there is a dropdown to set the sender's moderation action. you can select `default processing` to accept subject to additional checks or `accept` to accept unconditionally, subsequent posts from that sender before clicking the `discard` or other button. This works for non-members as well as for members. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

If you want prior Mailman behavior, just don't link multiple addresses to one user. You can have a separate user for each address and then each address will be considered as belonging to a different person which is apparently what you want. Going back to your original issue, why do you have a problem? The fact that a post from one of your addresses was accepted even though it wasn't from the address that was subscribed in no way says that a post from an arbitrary nonmember would be accepted. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Obviously there's some setting somewhere that's telling the list to do that with that setting. We'll try to find it by doing testing like you said. Meanwhile, we're quite busy in our other endeavours and having to unblock every post (some days more than others, and not that many relatively speaking) is what we're doing. What is the reason given for the post being held? I don't know about affinity, but Postorius gives the reason in the list of held messages. Also the message itself has a X-Mailman-Rule-Hits: header that says which rule caused the message to be held -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Yes, if all you want is a simple one way announcement type list, Mailman can do that quite well, with appropriate list configuration[1], but as I tried to say, MailChimp has many more features that are oriented towards that kind of mailing. [1]There are many horror stories of people setting up a mailing list and subscribing a bunch of people to it without ensuring that members can't post back to the list. Then with the first post, people start posting back to be removed and then others reply that they didn't send that mail and it snowballs and within an hower, the poor list server is so backlogged that the clueful replies take hours to be delivered. I personally have been added to more that one list to which this happened. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

If this occurred during shutdown of the entire server, it is a race condition due to the out runner continuing to process a message while the MySQL server is being shut down. Upon restart, the out runner may recover the message from the .bak file in its queue. To avoid this, you could stop Mailman and wait for all Mailman processes to terminate before shutting down/rebooting the server. Note that if the message in process was shunted, the .bak file was probably removed during the shunting process, so you should unshunt it to finish delivery. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Try running collectstatic and, if you use it, compress again.

The string 'mylist-confirm+3eafa5bd24e52738c900e2e3fd05e366b7ea7580' is created according to the setting ``` verp_confirm_format: $address+$cookie ``` in the [mta] section of mailman.cfg. You could override that by setting ``` [mta] verp_confirm_format: $address ``` or maybe even something like `` [mta] verp_confirm_format: $address+no_reply ``` in mailman.cfg, but then you would also need to provide edited versions of the templates list:user:action:unsubscribe, list:user:action:invite and list:user:action:subscribe to remove the bits about 'simply replying to this message'. Note that your spamassassin report is only assigning a score of 0.3 to FROM_LOCAL_HEX which isn't very much. Plus, there's no evidence that Gmail's proprietory spam checks even care about this. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Those are messages which HyperKitty failed to archive. <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-hyperkitty> is a small module with methods called by Mailman core to get information from HyperKitty and to pass messages to HyperKitty to be archived. If archiving fails the message is stored in Mailman's var/archives/hyperkitty/spool/ directory (maybe /var/lib/mailman/archives/hyperkitty/spool/ in the Debian package). Each new post causes mailman-hyperkitty to retry all the messages. Mailman's mailman.log (I think /var/log/mailman/mailman.log in the Debian package). That log will contain information about the failures which will help you diagnose the issue (probably misconfiguration) -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
