There are two issues here. Why wasn't the message delivered to list members?, and why is there no attachment in Hyperkitty? For the first issue, you need to examine mailman.log for the time of the post looking for errors and tracebacks. Also, the MTA logs may have useful info if the messages were sent but not delivered. For the second, there are many content filtering settings not (yet) exposed in Postorius. These include filter_extensions, filter_types, pass_extensions and pass_types which control which MIME parts are removed. For a newly created Mailman 3 list, these four settings are empty, but importing a Mailman 2.1 list will set them according to the corresponding MM 2.1 list's settings. > All I found was "convert HTML to plaintext", but does this setting > remove attachements?

You can set Settings -> Alter Messages -> Filter content to No in Postorius to not do any content filtering at all. This will override the Collapse alternatives and Convert html to plaintext settings and pass the message without removing any MIME parts. But, I think you must have other issues, either with this mail in particular or in general as evidenced by the mail not being received by list members. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

But at least their delivery wasn't being disabled because the probes weren't being bounced. Further, the first sentence in the body of the probe is "This is a probe message. You can ignore this message." If you think the probe could be more explanatory, you can always set a list:user:notice:probe template to say what you want. > There is zero spam on the list.

This means that in order for a true bouncing user to have delivery disabled with threshold = 5 There have to be posts every day for 5 consecutive days. If it's set to 2d, there can only be one day out of 6 with no posts for a true bouncing user's delivery to be disabled. If you can't guarantee that condition, you might as well just set Process Bounces to No. I would ensure Notify owner on bounce increment and Notify owner on disable are set to Yes. Then, assuming Mailman core >= 3.3.5, when users scores are incremented the owner will get a notice containing the bounce DSN. With that information, you can figure out why these valid addresses are bouncing the mail. Or, if the bounces occur during your outgoing SMTP, your MTA logs will have the reason. Given that information, you may be able to fix whatever is causing the delivery issue. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Hence my question - is it safe to run several such processes in parallel, and if so, will it have any benefits? I have no idea how locking on the database is done in this code, maybe I'll end up running the jobs in sequence anyway due to exclusive locks… Any informed answers will be appreciated. As Abhilash says, we really haven't tried. You could try running more than one "manage.py update_index_one_list" for different lists in parallel and see how it goes. I suspect it depends on the Haystack backend. Whoosh tends to be used because it's pure Python and installable with pip, but again as Abhilash says, we have recently converted to elasticsearch. There are some issues with that both due to the fact that elasticsearch runs as a separate service on the host, and we are using elasticsearch 5, the Haystack support for which is still developmental (and the current elasticsearch version is 7), but for example, indexing 180,000+ messages on mail.python.org takes 15 minutes elapsed time (about 14 minutes CPU) with elasticsearch which is an order of magnitude faster than the multiple hours it took with Whoosh. On the other hand, this only affects search in HyperKitty, and you didn't have archive search in Mailman 2.1, so if it takes an extra day to get it working in HyperKitty, it's probably not a big deal. You could just migrate all your lists and when done, run manage.py rebuild_index & and just let it run in the background until it's done. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Yes. importing an address from accept_these_nonmembers should not result in a non-member with moderation_action = List Default. If you send me a config.pck that you imported that resulted in this, I'll investigate further, or perhaps you can identify the conditions that cause this. One thing you might look at is whether the affected addresses were previously imported as members or non-members of another list. Also, I don't know if this is possible given your list create/import scenario, but if there is a window between list creation and the import, if the non-member posts during that window, a non-member record will be created with moderation_action = List Default and the import won't change that. If this is the case, the import will print <address> is already imported with role MemberRole.nonmember for each such address. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Typically, these would be non-members posting from HyperKitty and then being automatically subscribed. Set `Default action to take when a member posts to the list` to `Hold for moderation` so that all posts from members you haven't seen before are held. Then when handling a held post, if it is spam set the posters moderation action to discard and discard the message; if it is on topic, set the posters moderation action to default processing and accept the message. > Also, for things which already went out to the list, obviously I can > ban the spammer but what's the cleanest solution for removing > their posts from list archives so that we don't further their goals > by continuing to publish their handiwork? List owners should be able to delete messages and threads from HyperKitty, but they can't. See <https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty/-/issues/261>. You need to be a superuser to do this. If you are logged in as a user with Superuser status there will be a `Delete this thread` link in the thread view and a `Delete this message` link in the message view. You can use the `django-admin createsuperuser` command to create superusers. Also, anyone who is a superuser can set this for any user via the Django admin web UI. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

You need to look at all of pass_types, filter_types, pass_extensions and filter_extensions for both lists. For a newly created list, these are all empty. They work as in Mailmam 2.1 and are imported from the similarly named 2.1 attributes by `mailman import21`. In brief if filter_content is True, processing is: 1. If a part's MIME type is in filter_types it is removed. 2. If pass_types is not empty and a part's MIME type is not in pass_types it is removed. 3. If a part has a file name and the file name extension is in filter_extensions it is removed. 4. If a part has a file name and pass_extensions is not empty and the part's file name extension is not in pass_extensions it is removed. So in your case of the list that doesn't work, possibilities are: 1. The PDF part's MIME type is in filter_types, or 2. The PDF part has a file name whose extension is in filter_extensions, or 3. pass_extensions is non-empty and The PDF part has a file name whose extension is not in pass_extensions. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
