From: Tom I don't really understand what you mean by a better way to block similar automatic reply emails. If you are saying you get an acknowledgement of your post, there are two possibilities. Each user has an `Acknowledge posts` setting. If you are getting that, you can turn it off. Also, lists have an `Autorespond postings` setting to send an autoresponse to posts from anyone. If that's what you are seeing, a list owner can turn that off too. If you mean you don't want to receive a copy of your own post from the list, there's also a user setting to `Receive own postings` which you can turn off. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Do you know how that happened? Do you have a way to fix that too? That was my mistake. There were two choices. I could open the reply thread containing only https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message… and reattach it to the original message thread now containing several messages or vice versa. I did the latter, i.e. with the result you see with the reply out of sequence at the top. Had I done the former the reply would have been out of sequence at the bottom. This would have been better, but it's now too late to change it. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

Another way to prevent gmail users from having delivery disabled and being unsubscribed because of this is to enable VERP probes (set `verp_probes: yes` in the [mta] section of mailman.cfg). Since the probes are not sent from a gmail user, they won't bounce and the user's delivery won't be disabled. This is not a fix for the issue as the gmail users will still not receive posts from other gmail users, but they will receive other posts and won't get their delivery disabled by bounce. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Is there a way to > turn that ability off? If the posting is from Hyperkitty, there should be a User-Agent: HyperKitty on <list URL> header. Are the spammer's list members? If so, you need to remove them and then set `Default action to take when a member posts to the list` to `Hold for moderation`. That way, when a new member posts for the first time, the message will be held and if it's spam, you can discard it and set the member's moderation action to discard. and if it's not spam you can accept the message and set the member's moderation action to default processing. Also setting Member Policy->Subscription Policy to Moderate or Confirm, then Moderate will prevent a non-member from posting. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Right now there are 2 pck files and one .bak in > var/queue/out changing filenames repeatedly. What is happening is you have three messages in the out queue which are problematic. When Mailman or the out runner is restarted, for some reason the attempt to send these triggers the "Cannot connect to SMTP server" issue which is logged only once. Here's what happens: The oldest .pck file in the out queue gets picked up by the out runner and renamed to a .bak. The runner attempts to send the message and gets a socket.error exception so it requeues the message to be tried again. This removes the .bak and creates a new .pck. This process continues so the files keep getting renamed. I suggest you stop Mailman, and move the three files out of the out/ queue, and then restart Mailman. This should stop the out runner from "spinning" on these messages. Then you can examine the files with Mailman's 'bin/mailman qfile' command and see if you can identify something in the recipients list or other metadata that might be causing this. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Multiple things are required. In order to be able to set the list's preferred_language via Postorius, the language must be included in the LANGUAGES definition in postorius/utils.py. However, you can set the list's preferred_language in Mailman core via `REST` or `mailman shell` or direct update of the database. Then there must be message catalogs for the language in postorius/locale, django_mailman3/locale and hyperkitty/locale and these must be compiled by the Django management command `compilemessages`. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

[MM3-users] Re: Missing Base64 encoding from control message reply

by Mark Sapiro

I have now seen a similar instance on one of my servers. I was able to get the raw garbled response from the user. I have asked to get the raw message that was sent, but unfortunately, I haven't gotten it and I suspect I won't. I think it was an attempted post sent by mistake to the LIST-confirm address. I have tried, so far without success, to duplicate this, but I will keep at it. The raw message is attached. This one is worse than the one in the OP in that the Content-Transfer-Encoding is base64, but the content is unreadable in the raw message. It is clearly not a valid base64 encoding. I'm guessing that the original message looked similar to the one in the OP, but Microsoft Exchange garbled it by doing some attempt at base64 decoding the unencoded plain text and placing that result in the message body -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
