The post at https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message… includes the log message: Jun 09 17:36:31 2020 (82) Cannot connect to SMTP server postfix on port 25 This is strange as it says that Mailman is trying to connect to hostname `postfix`. Is this actually a legitimate host name on the Mailman server that Mailman can connect to? However, it doesn't seem that this is the issue as that name comes from the smtp_host setting in the [mta] section of the configuration and is global so if it were wrong, it would affect all lists. The fact that there is nothing after "Connection lost during _handle_client()" message means only that the message wasn't successfully delivered. A database issue seems unlikely. Set [logging.smtp] level: debug in mailman.cfg and see if the increased logging helps. It seems to me that the most likely issue is a list member whose address in an smtp RCPT TO command causes some issue with the MTA. Does the MTA actually see a connect and commands for the delivery attempt. I'm also confused by > The out-runner keeps creating new .pck and .bak files endlessly whenever an email gets sent to this mailing list. Mailman should create a .pck in the out queue. Then the out runner processes it and renames it as a .bak during processing for recovery purposes and when done processing removes the .bak. If in the process it encounters retryable errors for one or more recipients, it will remove the successful and perm failure recips from the metadata and queue the message in the retry queue. It should never be just requeueing the message in the out queue. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

It appears you have a situation where the MX for the Mailman domains is not the Mailman server. You need to configure the MTA on box2.gtahardware.co.za to relay Mailman's mail to the mailman server. You can to this by configuring that MTA to use transport_maps, etc as if it were the Mailman server. In order to get Mailman's generated files on the other server, you need to create a process to do that. When Mailman makes changes by adding or deleting lists or when it is started, it updates the postfix_lmtp and postfix_domains files and calls a command (normally postmap) to update the corresponding .db files. The command can be set by setting `postmap_command` in the `[postfix]` section in mailman.cfg. You can set this to a process which accepts a file name argument and then runs postmap on the file and rsyncs the file and it's .db to the other server. > So what is meant by "but also will be passed to the MTA to identify the > Mailman host" in the docs? As I said, that's badly worded it means 'passed manually to the MTA's config'. > If I change the config of the MTA (postfix) to be > "virtual_transport=lmtp:[lists.fast.za.net]:8024", I assume the incoming > mail will be forwarded, but how does postfix know that only the mailman > emails should be forwarded and not all the other mail that the server at > box2.gtahardware.co.za receives?

It doesn't matter if it's slow, or expensive, since it only happens once. While probably not typical, mail.python.org currently has (still) 209 MM 2.1 lists with 40261 unique member addresses.

The issue appears to be with folded headers that should either be unfolded before storing in HyperKitty's database or upon retrieval for this process. This is probably because of outlook.com folding Message-ID: headers. See https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/844 for one manifestation of this. I think if you replace the ``` msg["Message-ID"] = "<%s>" % self.message_id ``` line at 178 in /opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/hyperkitty/models/email.py with ``` msg["Message-ID"] = "<%s>" % self.message_id.strip(' <>\r\n') ``` it will avoid this issue. Please try it and report. > I do still have the original mbox files for the imported lists which were on Mailman 2.1. The other thing is when downloading these mbox files I noticed they aren't the raw messages as we had in Mailman 2.1 but modified with headers stripped and email addresses modified. Is there any way to get the raw mbox back as in the option we had in Mailman 2.1? Not from HyperKitty. It doesn't store the raw messages anywhere, but if you enable the prototype archiver for a list, the raw messages will be stored in maildir format in var/archives/prototype/list(a)example.com/ for each enabled list. Messages imported with hyperkitty_import won't be there, but all posts to the list, at least since enabling the prototype archiver, will be. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

The body being put in its own part is because of message decoration. In order to add the list's message header and/or footer the message is recast as multipart/mixed and the header and/or footer are added as separate MIME parts.
