These are all good and should result in the subscription held for moderation as log as the lists Subscription Policy is Moderate (not Confirm, then Moderate). What does the mail to the user, FIRSTLAST(a)SCHOOL.edu, say? I.e., if the subscription is waiting confirmation there should be a mail to the user with Subject: Your confirmation is needed to join the MAILINGLIST mailing list and body that begins with Email Address Registration Confirmation Hello, this is the GNU Mailman server at DOMAIN.org. Does the user get that email, a different email (if so, what) or no email. Is there anything systematically different about the addresses you are subscribing this way and the ones who subscribe with their own email? -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

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. See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/topics/db/queries/#creating-objects for information about creating objects.

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?

However on the domain list page in Postorius: https://.../postorius/domains/ I can see only 3 different SITE_IDs: 1,1,4,3.

Or did I mess something up? > What significance do those SITE_IDs have? The issue is client.create_domain doesn't support setting a Web Host. Web Hosts are the sites in the django_site table and SITE_ID is the id of the table entry. See `sites` in the Django admin UI. So when you create a domain with client.create_domain it gets arbitrarily assigned to a `site` > What I also noticed is that in the Postorius Web UI: https://.../postorius/lists/ both "1" domains display the lists contained in "3", whereas both "3" and "4" display correctly their lists. Except the "3", all domains are empty at the moment (no lists) (so "4" correctly displays no lists). Not sure if this is related?... FILTER_VHOST = True is imperfect. Lists have no Web Host attribute, only a Mail Host. Thus, with FILTER_VHOST = True, we get the Mail Host from the domains that have a Web Host matching the host in the http request. If that results in only one Mail Host, we limit the display to only those lists with that Mail Host, but otherwise we don't limit by domain. In other words, FILTER_VHOST = True only works if each Mail Host domain has a unique Web Host. If you have multiple Mail Host domains with the same Web Host (SITE_ID), FILTER_VHOST won't work for that Web Host. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
