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.

That was a choice I made. you could change ``` with transaction(): user_manager.delete_user(mm_user) print(f'{mm_user} deleted from Mailman') ``` to ``` with transaction(): try: email = user.preferred_address.email except AttributeError: email = 'no_preferred_address' user_manager.delete_user(mm_user) print(f'{email} deleted from Mailman') ``` to display the email address from the user's preferred_address if the user has one. All users should have one, but I've seen cases where there isn't one. It could also be ``` email = user.addresses[0].email ``` which might be better. In the above case, the empty string, "", is the user's display_name which in this case is empty, and the number in parentheses is the UUID of the user expressed as a decimal integer which isn't really useful. My thought was the display_name was as useful as anything, but obviously not if it's empty. I actually started with the preferred_address.email code above, but in testing, I got the 'no_preferred_address' result with the one deleted user so I, perhaps erroneously, went with the representation of the user. I'll probably update the script again. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

All the X-Mailman headers in the mail sent to the list were included in my previous reply. The member moderation rule hit. This only happens if the `sender` is a member and the member's moderation action is other than None or Defer or the member's moderation action is None and the list's default_member_action is other than Defer. Once the rule has hit the message is accepted, held, discarded or rejected depending on the moderation action found above. One caveat here is how the `sender` is determined, The `sender` is the first address found in the From:, envelope sender, Reply-To: and Sender: headers that is a list member. If the From: address is the member whose moderation action is None than the list's default_member_action should apply, but if the From: is not a member, you have to look at those other addresses. One possible way to avoid this issue, although it doesn't solve the mystery, is to set Emergency Moderation to Yes which should hold all posts regardless of sender. To diagnose this further, can you create a test list, set Default action to take when a member posts to the list to Hold, mass subscribe an address and send a post from that address and see if it's held. It should be, and if it is, I think things are working as they should be and a test post to the original list from one of these mass subscribed members will be held. If that is true, I can only think that at the time of that post, settings weren't as they are now. -- 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.

I do not understand "certain user address". I also don't undersatnd the above example. These notices are sent both From: and To: the list owner address. In the above example it would be From: dummy-list-owner(a)domainx.com To: dummy-list-owner(a)domainx.com Is this not what you see? -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
