I was unable to use mailman delmembers Assuming you want to delete all the nonmembers, just do it all in mailman shell. Using the above ```bash mailman shell -l mmlist.domain.ca << EOF for member in m.nonmembers.members: member.unsubscribe() EOF ``` If your 50 addresses are not all the nonmembers and you only want to delete those 50, the bash script could be ```bash mailman shell -l mmlist.domain.ca << EOF for addr in open('nonmember.txt').readlines() member = m.nonmembers.get_member(addr.strip()) member.unsubscribe() EOF ``` -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

I'm aware of the subscription policies > but there is no block or reject/discard option. You can't do this with list settings. Depending on your MTA, you might be able to set it to reject mail to the list-join and list-subscribe addresses. For example with Postfix you will probably have in main.cf ``` transport_maps = hash:/opt/mailman/mm/var/data/postfix_lmtp ``` You don't want to edit the postfix_lmtp file because that gets frequently regenerated, but you could create a mapping, say a file /path/to/rejects containing ``` list-join(a)example.com error:5.7.1 Mail rejected due to policy list-subscribe(a)example.com error:5.7.1 Mail rejected due to policy ``` and hash it with ``` postmap hash:/path/to/rejects ``` and then modify the transport_maps setting ``` transport_maps = hash:/path/to/rejects hash:/opt/mailman/mm/var/data/postfix_lmtp ``` -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

The bounce you saw From: Mailman mailman(a)example.com To: Mailman Bounces mailman-bounces(a)example.com Subject: SMTP Delivery Failure may have sent because you have VERP probes enabled (verp_probes: yes in the mta section of mailman.cfg) and a user on some list reached the bounce score threshold and a Mailman attempted to send a probe and the MTA refused the message, or it may have been sent because Mailman attempted to send a message to the user and the MTA refused it. In either case, the bounce message (fake DSN) should have contained a message body like Mail to user(a)example.com failed at outgoing SMTP with the actual user's address. These fake DSNs are sent in the case where the outgoing MTA refuses a message from Mailman so there is no actual failure DSN. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

There are two possibilities here. Either the sender's non-member record has a moderation action of accept or default processing, or even though the From: address is a non-member, one of the envelope from or the Sender: or Reply-To: headers is a member.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems to me that if /usr/lib/python3.6 and /user/bin/python3.6 are gone, just creating symlinks from /usr/lib/python3.6 and /user/bin/python3.6 to the corresponding python3.8 directories would work. The .pyc files in __pycache__ should not be an issue. They are versioned and placed in a __pycache__ directory specifically so multiple python versions can coexist. See <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3147/>. Python3.8 will just make new ones. If there is some issue with this, one can always do ``` find /path/to/venv -name '*.pyc' -delete ``` -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

If Send Digest Periodically is Yes, digests will be sent by the daily (or whatever schedule) cron.

Correct. If Send Digest Periodically is Yes, any accumulated digest will be sent when `mailman digests --periodic` runs, regardless of size. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Not really. Postorius would have to know the character set of the list's preferred_language in order to filter anything from the template that wasn't a valid character in that character set, and I don't think it has a way to get that information from Mailman core. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
