Yes, my bad for not realizing this. There are still references to these messages in the _request table. The columns in that table are id | key | request_type | data_hash | mailing_list_id key is the <message-id> of the request message request_type is 1 for a held message mailing_list_id is a numeric index into the mailinglist table The issue is there are still held message requests there for the messages you removed.

Specifically, the User entity can Subscribe and interact with lists using the email commands, but they can't Login using the Postorius web interface. If I understand correctly the reason that they can't login is that the underlying Django system does not recognize their account because the account that was created in Core isn't accessible by Django. Instead the user needs to create a Django-specific account at which point the information from Core becomes available in the user's web UI. The simple view is that Django users and Mailman Users are unrelated. Either can exist without the other. They only tie together if they have the same email address. That is the only connection between them. > If that is in fact accurate then I want to take the next logical leap: is it possible to programmatically create an account in Django that is tied to the account that was created in Core? See the script at https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/clean_users.py. This is an example that deals with Django users and Mailman Users and deletes some Django users.

For Postfix it's ``` smtp_destination_recipient_limit = 1 ``` Also if you configure Mailman to VERP all deliveries ``` [mta] verp_confirmations: yes verp_personalized_deliveries: yes verp_delivery_interval: 1 ``` each recipient will be sent separately with a different envelope sender so the MTA can't combine them. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

For this list, I don't know other than myself, and for myself I receive the list and read it by email. I will occasionally reply from HyperKitty if I have reson to reply to a post that I have deleted from my mail server. For mail.python.org, there are multiple list members (including Guido) on multiple lists who use HyperKitty exclusively in lieu of mail. For my bicycling club lists, very few users use HyperKitty for anything and most didn't use pipermail either even though we had htdig integration. Those few that do use it probably use it primarily for search. > - What kind of feedback have you received from your list members > considering the forum function of MM3? Positive or negative? They find warts, in part due to the still developmental markdown rendering <https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty/-/merge_requests/160> that's installed there and on this list too, but overall those that use it, like it and prefer the forum model to the email list model. > - Do you think HK is received well by your list members as an archiver > and do you think it provides a better user experience for > viewing/searching archives vs Pipermail of MM2?
