Hi Mark, I have errors like these in the mailman3 logs but they occurred earlier (that is prior to my attempting to post messages to the new mailman3 mailing list and which are not echoed to list members): Oct 01 11:08:22 2020 (7895) Skipping and preserving unparseable message: 1601564901.8696995+c2b86623e2dcc8e9800b10ca2bcf8b82e8d8d662 Oct 01 11:08:23 2020 (7895) Uncaught runner exception: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman3/queue/virgin/1601564902.28165 63+16bd684dfb18c6175f3e7b0b11312cb203dc9c89.pck' Oct 01 11:08:23 2020 (7895) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 158, in _one_iteration msg, msgdata = self.switchboard.dequeue(filebase) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/core/switchboard.py", line 150, in dequeue with open(filename, 'rb') as fp: PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman3/queue/virgin/1601564902.2816563+16bd684dfb18c6175f3e7b0b11312cb203dc9c89.pck' The above errors occurred prior to the time that I attempted to send to the mailman3 list.

Normally this will be Postfix, sendmail, Exim, etc running on localhost and listening on port 25. Do you have such an MTA running on localhost? Note, Mailman does not directly send mail to end recipients. It only delivers mail to an outgoing MTA. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

When I look into the log, first the smtpd receives the message from my mail client. Then the email is queued. And then the smtp initiates a TLS layer to send it to the smtpd on the same machine. For my understanding this cannot be correct. The smtpd at first should hand it to mailman and not relay it to itself. Is that correct?

I'm sorry, I thought I had replied, but clearly I hadn't. So as I understand it, you have multiple lists in this Mailman 3 installation, and only one list has this issue, and mail to this list gets archived, but not delivered but is queued in var/queue/out and remains there. This is hard to understand. When Mailman's out runner processes its queue, it processes messages in chronological order without regard to which list they are from, so it must be at least attempting to deliver these messages, and somehow failing and requeueing them. I do see this Jun 09 17:36:31 2020 (82) Cannot connect to SMTP server postfix on port 25 in the log excerpt you posted. What's in Mailman's smtp.log and the postfix mail.log that might be related to this? It's hard to understand how an MTA connect issue could affect only one list. If it is accepting the connict and then dropping the connection for too many invalid RCPT addresses, that's a possibility. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

That's a good way to go :-) My response is more of a (very) old sysadmin and Django user (since 2008) hunch that a proper one based on code and documentation review, but I've been trying to contribute several times and always (super) Mark Sapiro beats me :-) > If I'm reading the error correctly, this is related to an inability to > verify the cert chain.

You are right in your diagnose but not in your interpretation (see my comment below inside the traceback). It is certificate related, but not for server TLS, but for CLIENT authentication. > EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' > EMAIL_HOST = 'localhost' > EMAIL_PORT = 25 > EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'dnewman(a)networktest.com' > EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'wouldnt-you-like-to-know' > EMAIL_USE_TLS = 'True' > EMAIL_SSL_CERTFILE = '/etc/ssl/certs/myhost.crt' > EMAIL_SSL_KEYFILE = '/etc/ssl/private/myhost.key' All these settings above are used for SENDING messages and, if I'm not mistaken, the SSL key and cert are used for authenticating the user sending the email. Actually, using TLS and SMTP Auth for localhost is a bit too much. I've been configuring SMTP servers since 1990 and my mail servers just accept mail form localhost, if they are broken into, the user and password have already been exposed :-) > But this might only be for email, not Postorius/Django.

I'd say that is more what is not needed (the SMTP TLS authentication) I'll remove the "noise".

[MM3-users] Mailman3 doesn't send Mails to users (Debian12 with Plesk)

by marcus＠mbautze.de

Hello, i already send this question to the plesk-forum but it seems that nobody there can help me :-( After updating from Debian 10 to 11 to 12, I now have mailman3 running on my server I then converted all lists from Mailman2 to Mailman3 following the instructions from mailman. I can access it via the web interface, manage everything etc. When I register on the web interface, I also receive the corresponding mails from Mailman (forgotten password...) Mails are also arriving, at least mails that are not allowed go into the mails to be approved. The problem, however, is that it does not send out any mails, nor do they appear in the archive. When I look in the Mailman-Log I find: May 16 01:44:55 2024 (6833) Cannot connect to SMTP server localhost on port 25 May 16 01:48:15 2024 (61252) error opening connection to nntp_host: localhost [Errno 111] Connection refused May 16 01:48:15 2024 (61252) NNTP error for list vereinsmitglieder(a)ludothek.de: [Errno 111] Connection refused The configuration of Mailman.cfg looks like this: incoming: mailman.mta.postfix.LMTP outgoing: mailman.mta.deliver.deliver smtp_host: localhost smtp_port: 25 smtp_user: smtp_pass: lmtp_host: 127.0.0.1 lmtp_port: 8024 In Mailman manuals I find hints that the transport routes have to be added to the Postfix-config. Doesn't Debian/Plesk do this automatically? Does anyone else have an idea what I need to change to get my mails out? I did the conversion from mailman2 to mailman3 with root because it didn't work with "sudo -u list "m, but the files stored in the file system all belong to list, so that shouldn't be the problem.
