It just has text in it, keeping it simple. I create it and see the entries in the database tables and they are correct. However, when I send a test email, my template text is not inserted, but instead another simple text: “testing hello”. I do the same with list:member:regular:footer, and it works just fine. It is just the header that is working incorrectly. When I remove that postorius header template for the list, that ‘testing hello’ goes away. So, it’s only appearing when I have a postorius template setup for that list. What do you get from the following database queries? SELECT * FROM template WHERE name = 'list:member:regular:header'; SELECT * FROM postorius_emailtemplate WHERE name = 'list:member:regular:header'; Depending on your installation, these tables may be in separate databases, i.e., template table in mailman db and postorius_emailtemplate in mailmanweb db. And what do you get if you go to the uri in the result(s) from the first query? The context in the first results and maybe the second results should also be a clue. -- 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 if you want to retry very often, like 2min or 5min, but you can change it by adding the following snippet to your mailman.cfg A long time ago (in a galaxy far away) Mailman 2.1 had a global DELIVERY_RETRY_WAIT setting. This setting had been ineffective for years, relying instead on the retry runner's sleep time. In 2.1.26, for what turned out to be a probably spurious reason, I made DELIVERY_RETRY_WAIT effective again, although the retry runner still sleeps for 15 minutes. We could implement something similar in MM 3 to allow the retry runner to have a much shorter sleep time without actually retrying the delivery that often. The down side of that is even though we aren't retrying delivery each time the runner wakes up, we are dequeueing and requeueing the message each time and this would have a file system impact. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

One thing I found when the directory structure that Mailman Core uses is that the lists directories do not get re-created when Mailman Core starts if they don't already exist.

I created the list directories myself and everything carried on. These var/lists/<list-id>/ directories hold the digest.mmdf files which are mailboxes containing the messages for the next digest. A list post will be added to the digest.mmdf file which will be created if necessary, but if the var/lists/<list-id>/ directory doesn't exist, the create will fail. Thus, the var/lists/<list-id>/ directories need to exist. Normally, they are created when the list is created so they need to be part of a backup. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Yes. Now that you have the default anonymous_list_keep_headers setting things should be OK going forward. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Or prevent them from being deleted, so that I can look into the message body? Presumibly you have settings for Postfix like those at https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/mta.h… or https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#setup-mta The simplest way is to deliver bounces to some user instead of Mailman. This will disable automated bounce processing for the list so it should be done temporarily only to see a few bounce messages and then reverted. Lets say you have a few problem lists, list1(a)example.com and list2(a)example.com. Put the following in Postfix main.cf ``` virtual_alias_domains = example.com virtual_alias_maps = regexp:/etc/postfix/temp-aliases ``` Then create /etc/postfix/temp-aliases with this content ``` list1-bounces(a)example.com user(a)example.net list2-bounces(a)example.com user(a)example.net ``` where user(a)example.net is the address that should receive the bounces. There are also ways to save copies of all mail received by Postfix.

If so, have you found any workarounds? This is a Microsoft/Outlook issue. As you note at https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message… this is just the way Outlook displays the message subject. I know of now way around this, but I don't use Microsoft MUAs. Does Outlook also strip the prefix from replies? This probably wouldn't matter for replies to the list as the list will add it back, but might be an issue for other direct recipients. Presumably, Outlook is looking at the [] around the prefix. You might try either dropping the brackets or using something else such as _My-List_ instead of [MyList]. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

But how I can do the, without resettinh the member data? Could it be that the Sqlite interface is not as stable as one the the "real databases"?
