You only see this message once at startup because it is only issued once until there is a successful delivery. This error can occur for reasons other than an inability to connect to the smtp server. In particular, if there are errors in decorating the message with a header and/or a footer because of permissions or other problems in retrieving a list:member:regular:header or list:member:regular:footer template, this will occur. Have you put templates in Mailman's var/templates directory (possibly named /var/lib/mailman/templates in the debian package). If so, can the Mailman user (I think `list` in a debian package) find and read them? -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

If we're collapsing a multipart/alternative part with text/plain and text/html alternatives to just the first alternative we don't keep the text/html part. The only html parts we keep and possibly convert to plain text are ones that aren't a second or later alternative in a multipart/alternative part. > I think a better (or additional) strategy > would be to check the selected alternative for blank, and if so, drop > it and try again for an appropriate type. The collapsing of a two part multipart message with an empty first part into a single part message with just the second part is the last thing that's done after all other content filtering. -- 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 migrate those lists, including the years of archives, to 3? Ideally you would have Mailman's archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox files which is all you need. If tho don't have those, but you have the periodic archives/private/LISTNAME/*.txt files, you could concatenate those for a list into one mbox file. In some cases the From: headers will be munged. I.e., they may be like From: user at example.com (user name) and you would at least want to replace ` at ` with `@`. If you don't have even those, you would have to somehow process the HTML files into messages for a mbox. There is no way to import the HTML directly into HyperKitty. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

What were those MM2 defaults (My MM2 server is long gone now). You will find the content filtering defaults beginning at <https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/2.1/view/head:/Mailman…>. These have been the defaults for new lists since Mailman 2.1.21. Prior th that, the the default for pass_mime_types was ['multipart/mixed', 'multipart/alternative', 'text/plain'] > b. Is there a better set today. I know that MIME types can be faked, but they have worked. I want to avoid anything that can contain malicious code while also allowing simple text to go through. If you go with the current defaults, except of course for setting filter content on, you can add text/html to pass_types and any html parts that aren't collapsed out by collapse alternatives will be kept and converted to plain text. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

I don't know why that would 404 unless the token 4d6b4b11266c7332684c5a492eb3f92c531f761b didn't exist, but since it came from a "current" view, it should be good. I have seen occasional issues where two moderators attempt to handle the same request in close succession - i.e. both get the pending request and try to handle it and the second fails because the request is gone, but that appears not to be the case here. You might check the web server logs, the Django log and Mailman's logs to see if there is any more of a clue. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

The difference is the update_and_clean_index job calls hyperkitty.search_indexes.update_index() with remove=True See https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty/-/blob/master/hyperkitty/search_index…. The comments say "Setting remove to True is extremely slow, it needs to scan the entire index and database." I second Mark Dadgar's comment to replace whoosh with xapian. It will help, although it requires rebuilding the entire search index. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

No. the mailman-web migrate command will apply relevant migrations for various django projects. You do need to rin it after upgrading things like hyperkitty, postorius and django-mailman3 and other dependencies which may have defined migrations for various database schema changes, but this will do nothing for your data. For that, you need to dump the mailman and mailmanweb databases on the old server and import them on the new server. > but how can i export an entire MM3 list (including 20 years of archives) to some serialization format, and import it again in another instance? With the dump and other utilities from your database manager. Almost everything is in the database. There are some things in Mailman's var/ directory, but those can simply be moved. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
