I > thought it was ported to Mailman 3 but maybe not. Actually, it's not quite that simple. Mailman 2.1 defines a MemberAdaptor class, the methods of which are used for everything to do with list members and memberships and are all documented in the base definition in Mailman/MemberAdaptor.py and all raise `NotImplementedError`. Also included in Mailman 2.1 is Mailman/OldStyleMemberships.py which subclasses MemberAdaptor and actually implements the methods, storing the data in the same config.pck pickle as the list settings. Various people have implemented various other MemberAdaptor classes for various purposes. https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/558106 contains several revisions of one using LDAP for the (read only) membership data. The Mailman 3 analog of this is the IMember interface defined in mailman/interfaces/member.py and implemented in mailman/model/member.py -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

[MM3-users]Incorrect URLs

by Mark Sapiro

There are various URLs exposed in various emails from the list, many of which are wrong. The underlying issue is there are generic replacements such as $listinfo_uri and $user_options_uri in various templates such as the welcome.txt list welcome message and the footer-generic.txt message and digest footer. Now that the Mailman 3 core engine has been separated from the web UI, the core doesn't know what these replacements should be and there is not yet an interface to get them from Postorius or whatever the web UI is. In the mean time, I have made list specific versions of welcome.txt (done before announcing the list) and footer-generic.txt (just now) with the correct URLs hard coded. The purpose of this post is two-fold. To explain the issue, and to test the footer. There are probably more of these incorrect replacements and I will fix them as I notice them or they are pointed out to me. Note that I am aware that the https URLs in the List-Subscribe: and List-Unsubscribe: headers added to posts are wrong, but I haven't got a handle on this yet. The mailto: links in those headers are correct as are the Archived-At: and List-Archive: URLs as there is an interface to get those from the archiver. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

[MM3-users] Re: What implications do GDPR have on Mailman, and how to requiring members to accept registration

I'm confused. Confirm sends a confirmation request to the subscribed address which must be acted upon by the user before she is added to the list. Moderate just means approval by an owner/moderator which, it seems to me is more susceptible to a 3rd party subscribe succeeding - i.e., subscription requires membership in some organization. A subscribes B who is a member of the organization but doesn't want to be on the list. The moderator verifies that B is an organization member and approves the subscription. Granted, it may be possible for some brain-dead vacation responder to confirm a subscription request, but that's a separate issue. > Also, regardless of this setting, administrators can subscribe people without their knowledge. Granted that this can be abused, but not allowing admins to directly add members will probably create more problems than it solves. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

I'm sorry, I thought I had replied, but clearly I hadn't. So as I understand it, you have multiple lists in this Mailman 3 installation, and only one list has this issue, and mail to this list gets archived, but not delivered but is queued in var/queue/out and remains there. This is hard to understand. When Mailman's out runner processes its queue, it processes messages in chronological order without regard to which list they are from, so it must be at least attempting to deliver these messages, and somehow failing and requeueing them. I do see this Jun 09 17:36:31 2020 (82) Cannot connect to SMTP server postfix on port 25 in the log excerpt you posted. What's in Mailman's smtp.log and the postfix mail.log that might be related to this? It's hard to understand how an MTA connect issue could affect only one list. If it is accepting the connict and then dropping the connection for too many invalid RCPT addresses, that's a possibility. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Every message should have a unique Message-ID: header. According to my reading of https://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-log_files.html Exim should create a => log entry with an id= field containing the Message-ID when the message is received for delivery to Mailman and another similar entry when the message is received from Mailman for delivery to one or more list members. Mailman itself logs ACCEPT:, HOLD:, DISCARD:, REJECT: and OWNER: entries in mailman.log for those events (OWNER: indicates a message to list owners). All these entries contain the Message-ID. Mailman's smtp.log contains 'post to' and 'smtp to' entries with Message-IDs for all outgoing messages. > Or should I raise an issue as whishlist request?

It looks like your mailman/database/alembic/versions/ directory is missing 2156fc3f6f7d_add_dmarc_addresses.py. What is your mailman version? This migration was added in Mailman core 3.3.9. Possibly your Mailman version is < 3.3.9 but the alembic_version table in your mailman database points to an alembic version not in your mailman core version. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

This behavior always seems related to decorate being unable to get templates for for the message header/footer. Does this list define templates for list.member.regular.header or list.member.regular.footer in Postorius? To rule out a template retrieval issue as the cause, you could try this patch to skip decorating the message. ``` --- a/src/mailman/handlers/decorate.py +++ b/src/mailman/handlers/decorate.py @@ -40,6 +40,7 @@ alog = logging.getLogger('mailman.archiver') def process(mlist, msg, msgdata): """Decorate the message with headers and footers.""" + return # Digests and Mailman-craft messages should not get additional headers. if msgdata.get('isdigest') or msgdata.get('nodecorate'): return ``` If you apply that patch and the messages get delivered, albeit without the footer, the issue is definitely in retrieval of templates. You say you have removed the var/templates/list/LIST_ID/* templates, but is there still a var/templates/list/ and a var/templates/list/LIST_ID/ directory and are they searchable by the Mailman user? -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Your initial post was held because all new members are moderated by default. This is an anti-spam measure. If you post on topic, we clear your moderation.
