The delivered message had the list footer added and was base64 encoded, but in both the delivered and archived message, the « character was intact. In what other ways does Mailman modify the message. Does it add a msg_header and/or msg_footer, if so, are they added to a simple text/plain message body or is the message more complex so they are added as separate mime parts.

This leads me to think that your mailman/config/postfix.cfg contains transport_file_type: regex in which case all of the Mailman mappings defined in main.cf should be regexp: tables rather than hash: tables.

Mailman 2.1's data/aliases and data/virtual-mailman files have been replaced by the data/postfix* files in Mailman 3. I think your whole issue is you've configured Postfix with hash: tables but Mailman is generating regexp: tables. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

We wouldn't be running any web interface anyway. I wanted to disable all methods of users joining and only rely upon an administrative process to handle who joins. It's easy to imagine a corporate use case for this, such as "all people with offices in building 43" or "all employees with dependents on health insurance" where the definition of who is on a list is maintained in an external system. We're not actually a corporation - we're a professional society with different member classes in our membership database. In any case, the decision of who belongs on a list is not made by the user. I understand these scenarios, but unless there is a high volume of spurious subscriptions, can't this be handled by setting the subscription police to include moderator approval? > In the interim I discovered another problem with DMARC failures in gmail when mail is sent through mailman3. Mail sent directly from our exim instance doesn't have this problem, so perhaps it's a problem with SRS. I won't be investigating this further, but I'm sure that SPF hard fails will be causing more problems for mailing lists in the future. SPF always fails DMARC alignment on forwarded mail, whether from a mailing list or other forwarding mechanism because even though SPF may pass, the domain is that of the forwarding server, not the original sender. While it is possible for a domain to set a DMARC policy and to rely only on SPF for validation, any domain with a DMARC policy should also be DKIM signing the mail because DKIM signatures will survive simple forwarding such as via .forward files or MTA aliases. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

If you have the same list:* file in both /opt/mailman/mm/var/templates/site/en/ and /opt/mailman/mm/var/templates/lists/kictanet.lists.kictanet.or.ke/en/ the ones in the lists directory will take precedence for that list over the ones in the site directory.

Perhaps you should contact the packager for support. Can you run the mailman command manually, e.g. ``` sudo -u xxx mailman -C /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg ``` where `xxx` is the Mailman user which if I'm guessing correctly that this is a debian/ubuntu package, is `list`. Otherwise it might be `mailman`. That should just produce a list of `mailman` subcommands. If that works, try ``` sudo -u xxx mailman -C /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg info ``` and ``` sudo -u xxx mailman -C /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg start ``` and see what they produce. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

The user needs to create an account in the web UI for newaddress(a)gmail.com and once that is done and she is logged in, she can add oldaddress(a)hotmail.com to her account. There are alternatives that you as list owner can do such as mass subscribing oldaddress(a)hotmail.com to the list and then disabling delivery to newaddress(a)gmail.com. There are also things you can do in `mailman shell` such as ``` $ mailman shell -l list.example.com Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell Use commit() to commit changes. Use abort() to discard changes since the last commit. Exit with ctrl+D does an implicit commit() but exit() does not. The variable 'm' is the list.example.com mailing list >>> mbr = m.nonmembers.get_member('oldaddress(a)hotmail.com') >>> mbr.role = MemberRole.member >>> commit() ``` > (Also, why is this error displaying the usage message?

There is a draft merge request at https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/merge_requests/930 which implements a framework for setting Postorius defaults and creates a setting to set the default for pre-verified on the mass subscription page. Once merged, this can easily be extended to provide a default for Invitation.

I’ve since removed the patch, as I’m still looking for an answer and might as well let it queue up again. Per the above, template access is definitely the problem. > The only thing that is making me ponder at the moment is that the list owners setup a template for list:member:regular:footer in postorius. It appears that each list has a copy of that file. The modifications I see in postorius are not in their …/templates/list/<listname>/en/list:member:regular:footer.txt file. Are their modifications stored somewhere else and causing the problem? Templates set in Postorius are stored in the database in the postorius_emailtemplate table. At the same time an entry is made in the template table with a uri to retrieve the template from a Postorius API. The uri is something like http(s)://host/mailman3/api/templates/list/LIST-ID/list:member:regular:footer where the http(s)://host part is from the setting for POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL. The issue is that uri is not retrievable probably because the setting for POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL is wrong. You should look at the uris in the template table in the database and figure out what they should be, probably by trying to retrieve one in a browser with the scheme and host what you actually use to access Postorius. Once you figure out what the correct uri is you can set POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL appropriately, but this won't fix the existing template table entries. You can fix those manually in the database or you can delete and recreate the templates in Postorius after fixing POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL and restarting the Mailman web service. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
