Then, if a post to the list contains Approved: xxx123 either as a header in the message (recommended if possible) or as the first non-blank line in the first text/plain part of the message, the post will be 'pre-approved'. The header can actually be any of Approve:, Approved:, X-Approve: or X-Approved: and if it is not a header, but is found in the first text/plain part of the message, it will be removed from that part and a best effort will be made to remove it from other text/* body parts in case it is also in an alternative part. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

The doc is at <http://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/handlers/docs/decorate.…>, but it's a bit complex. First, the message footer template name is 'list:member:regular:footer' and the digest footer template name is 'list:member:digest:footer' and if you want the same template for both, the name 'list:member:generic:footer' will do. The easiest way to set these is to create a template for the desired language (probably 'en') or an empty file if you want no footer. Then, there is a 'var' directory in the Mailman installation which contains sub directories named 'archives', 'cache' 'data', 'etc', 'ext', 'lists', 'locks', 'logs', 'messages', 'queue' and 'templates'. You can put list specific templates in var/templates/lists/LIST.ID/en/, domain specific templates in var/templates/domains/DOMAIN/en/ and sitewide templates in var/templates/site/en/. For example if you put an empty file at var/templates/site/en/list:member:generic:footer and a non-empty file at var/templates/lists/list.example.com/en/list:member:regular:footer, all messages and digests will have no footer except for regular deliveries from the list.example.com list which will use it's template. list overrides domain overrides site overrides default. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

That's a `debug` level log message written for every delivery. It has nothing to do with the unreadable templates except that the unreadable template causes looping in an attempt to send the message. Did you perhaps set [logging.smtp] level: debug in an effort to diagnose the template issue? > Having excessively restrictive permissions on the template files is a silly - but easy enough - mistake to make. If it were possible to add it to Mailman 3, a more descriptive logging message could point others who make it in the right direction, perhaps. I spent a long time trying to figure out why messages weren't getting sent out from Mailman core, and in the end it was luck in form of a colleague's suggestion about file permissions that got me out of the rut. There is clearly a bug in that an unreadable template should just be skipped and the fact logged.

The requirement in Mailman 3.3.10's pyproject.toml is ``` 'nntplib; python_version>="3.13"', ``` This is wrong. it should be ``` 'standard-nntplib; python_version>="3.13"', ``` nntplib was dropped from the standard library in Python 3.13 and replaced by standard-nntplib from pip. Because of the above error, a pip install of mailman 3.3.10 will not work with Python >= 3.13. Also note that currently, Mailman core is not compatible with Python >= 3.14 because it depends on aiosmtpd which is not compatible with Python 3.14. The aiosmtpd incompatibility is fixed in GitHub but the fix is not yet released. The incompatibility is fixed by <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiosmtpd/pull/575> and <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiosmtpd/pull/595> > I have, nevertheless, standard-nntplib 3.13 already installed but there > is no nntplib on Pypi. I suggest the following depending on your Python version For Python 3.13 or 3.14 ``` pip install git+https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman.git ``` and for Python 3.14 ``` pip install git+https://github.com/aio-libs/aiosmtpd.git ``` Installing Mailman from GitLab with Python 3.13 should work fine. Both this list and the lists at mail.python.org run the latest GitLab version with no problems. The installation of aiosmtpd from GitHub is more of an unknown, but should be OK. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

I have no > experience in python. The attached script is a rough idea. It assumes your Mailman is installed in a virtualenv at /opt/mailman/mm/venv and the django settings module is /opt/mailman/mm/settings.py. The pruned messages will be in a mbox at /opt/mailman/pruned.mbox. The age of messages to prune is defined by the days=365*5 argument in CUTOFF = datetime.datetime.today() - datetime.timedelta(days=365*5) All these things may need adjustment for your purpose. There is also a commented bit showing how you could do just one list. It's probably good to do just one list at a time since it's not clear how useful the pruned.mbox will be if it contains messages from multiple lists. I.e., run it for one list and move the pruned.mbox aside before doing the next list. Note that I've tested that this works, but it's possible that it will leave HyperKitty in a bad state. Backup your database before running this. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

The process creating the zip for download times out. You can increase the timeout. If your wsgi server is Gunicorn, see https://docs.gunicorn.org/en/stable/settings.html#timeout - for uwsgi see https://uwsgi-docs-additions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Options.html#harakiri However, it's probably easier to get it in pieces. You can prpbably get chunks bigger than a month. Look at the URL for a month, e.g. for Jun, 2005 it will be something like https://www.example.com/archives/list/<fqdn-listname>/export/<fqdn-listname>-2025-02.mbox.gz?start=2025-01-01&end=2025-02-01 The <fqdn-listname>-2025-02.mbox.gz can be any arbitrary file name. The start and end parameters determine what's included. E.g. for all of 2024 https://www.example.com/archives/list/<fqdn-listname>/export/<fqdn-listname>-2024.mbox.gz?start=2024-01-01&end=2025-01-01 Note that the end date is the first date not included, i.e. the day after the last date included. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

When a non-member attempts to post to a list she is automatically added to non-members with a moderation action of list default, which means that this and subsequent posts will be handled according to the list's "Default action to take when a non-member posts to the list" If you want to accept a non-member's posts you need to set that non-member's moderation action to "Default Processing" to still apply other tests that might hold the message or to "Accept" if you want to accept anything from that non-member. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Thank you for this answer. In both the inject case and the netcat case I must know the recipient. My complex setup looses that metadata; leaving me with only the message.
