Then I go into the individual permissions on each user to be allowed to post without moderation. This works fine, however it seems cumbersome. My expected solution was to make the announce only members moderators - however it appears being a moderator does not give any special ability to post to the list (nor does it appear to make you a 'member' from the point of mailman when sending messages to the list, since a moderator who is not a subscriber gets treated like a nonmember from the posting permissions perspective). Is this correct? Yes, your observations are correct. This is how it's always been, at least from the beginning of Mailman 2.1. There is an alternative. Set a moderator_password for the list. Then anyone can successfully post with an `Approved: <password>` header or pseudo header if they know the password.

If you follow the doc at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html you will install Mailman core, psycopg2-binary, mailman-web and mailman-hyperkitty in the venv. mailman-web will install Django, django-mailman3, MailmanClient, HyperKitty and Postorius as dependencies in the venv. > PostgreSQL and Postfix have been successfully installed outside of the > mailman3 virtual environment and start properly, I assume this is > correct. Since these are not python packages, they and sassc (or Dart-Sass) are installed outside the venv. Also, Postfix in particular and possibly PostgreSQL may be used by things other than Mailman so you don't want them in the venv even if they could be installed there. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

As long as there is an entry in the template table with a uri which is not a `mailman://` scheme, that entry is cached in the file_cache table in the database with a key = the uri and a lifetime set by cache_life in the [mailman] section of mailman.cfg - default 7 days. You can delete the cached entry from the database via `mailman shell as in ``` $ mailman shell Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell Use commit() to commit changes. Use abort() to discard changes since the last commit. Exit with ctrl+D does an implicit commit() but exit() does not. >>> cm = getUtility(ICacheManager) >>> uri = 'the_uri_from_the_template_table' >>> cm.get(uri, expunge=True) >>> commit() ``` You can also delete the entry from the file_cache table, but if you do that, the actual file containing the cached data will remain. To remove it, note that the file_cache table entry has a file_id. This will be a hex digest of the sha256 hash of the uri, something like `c85210810f8824cf9227c1689817e1d081046ff132bf8abe56a7c08a89016e4e` and the file is stored in the cache/ directory in Mailman's var/ directory with a path of `file_id[0:2]/file_id[2:4]/file_id`. I.e. for the above example file_id, the file will be `var/cache/c8/52/c85210810f8824cf9227c1689817e1d081046ff132bf8abe56a7c08a89016e4e`. If you remove the entry from the file_cache table without removing the file, the file will remain forever but will be overwritten if the same uri is cached again. Rather than doing any of the above, if you want to manipulate the database, just set the expires_on column in the file_cache table entry to a date in the past. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

In MM 3, the command line commands are all subcommands of the `mailman` command. See `mailman --help` where you will see subcommands including `syncmembers`, `findmember` and `delmembers`. Note that prior to 3.3.2 there were no `addmembers`, `delmembers` and `syncmembers` subcommands, but there were `modes` of the `mailman members` command that would accomplish these functions. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

This would appear to be related somehow to the Postfix configuration. What does `postconf -n` show? Is the failing list's domain different from other lists? What happens if you set `verp_delivery_interval: 1` in the [mta] section in /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg. This will cause Mailman to send a separate message with a VERPed envelope from to each recipient. You should then see separate mail.log messages for each recipient's delivery to amazonaws.com with success or failure for each. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Brian is correct. Essentially, you would need to run database queries to get all the relevant data from the database and then add it to the database of the new instance. A tool could be created to do the export and import, but it doesn't currently exist unless some user has developed one and not reported it. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
