Hi Mark, yes, we are using a local copy of the gunicorn.cfg. It is in the home directory of our mailman3 instance (like the mailman.cfg, same directory). We will now look into the postgresql database - maybe there is an index missing or something like that. Thank you for help.

I'm not sure what distinction you are making between PostgreSQL and Django-Framework. There are two separate and distinct users, Django users and Mailman core users. Information about both is in the PostgreSQL database. Django users are in the `auth_user` table and Mailman core users are in the `user` table, both in the public schema, although if you split the data into a `mailman` database and a `mailmanweb` database the `auth_user` table is in `mailmanweb` and the `user` table is in `mailman`. > What I stumble upon is the RestAPI calls to create a "working" user (with the ability to login via WebUI). > When I follow the manual (from the url above) I create a user (including password) that appears in the PostgreSQL database. > (And this user is visible on the User-URL (https://example.com/mailman3/users)) > Even when I (via WebUI) set the user as "approved" this user is not able to log in... > I assume this restriction is in accordance to the fact that there is not equivalent Django user. > (There was a mail in the archive of the MM3 user group...stating that one has to use the Django RestAPI to create the appropriate user) The above is correct. The Mailman REST API only deals with Mailman core. Mailman core knows nothing about Django. > When I create the user using the WebUI (https://example.com/accounts/signup/?next=/mailman3/lists/) > the new user is created in the right (complete) way...appearing in the PostgreSQL database and as a user in Django. > How is this sync between the two databases realized? I'm still looking into that, but it isn't the creation of the Django user per se that creates the Mailman user. The process has multiple steps. 1) Sign-up for an account. This creates the Django user and sends an address confirmation email. 2) Click the link in the confirmation email. This takes you to a page with a `Confirm` button to confirm the email address. 3) Click the confirm button. It is not until step 3) that the Mailman user and address records are created. > (The Django user also has the correct status (no staff status / no superuser status / just active status) how is this realized?) Presumably by the sign-up process not setting staff status and superuser status. > As I am not very familiar with python programming (I know Perl/Java/C++ and have an (maybe outdated) concept of OOP), > is there a quick way to implement this kind of sync by copying the register logic from mailman's python action script for registering? I think it must be django-mailman3 that's doing this, but I haven't been able to see how so far. django-mailman3 does override the template for the /accounts/confirm-email page, but this is only to include styling. > Other questions: > Will there be a create_admin_user-script that is callable via CLI (like createsuperuser or create_list)? > (This script ought create a user in PostgreSQL and as Django user) No plans. There are `mailman addmembers` and `mailman admins` commands to add members or admins to a list. Adding an owner or moderator to a list via `mailman admins` will also create a Mailman user for that person if there isn't one already, but it won't create a Django user. > How will a social account provider (like oidc) linkage (in Django) fit in this concept? > Will oidc-accounts be copied to the Django's user database (or PostgreSQL db) or is it an on-the-fly check against the oidc-provider?

Sorry for the double-tap. Apparently https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/pull/441 changed the behavior that I said was the default. We might need to see your docker-compose.yaml, with sensitive info removed, to know more about your setup. - Matt Alberti -----Original Message----- From: matthew(a)alberti.us <matthew(a)alberti.us> Sent: Saturday, August 7, 2021 8:21 PM To: mailman-users(a)mailman3.org Subject: [MM3-users] Re: can't get mail into mailman3 in docker I use the docker-mailman setup. Below is the partial contents of my mailman-extra.cfg. I think by default, you would use the Docker assigned private network IP addresses for communicating with the containers.

[MM3-users] Re: Trouble Installing Mailman3

by Henry Hartley

This isn't doing a lot for my self-esteem. I'm now trying to install mailman-web and mailman-hyperkitty. Running the 'pip install' (as documented here https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#installing-web-…) is giving me a similar setuptools error to the one I got before, although with a different version number: [SNIPPED successfully downloaded packages] Collecting django-haystack>=2.8.0 (from hyperkitty->mailman-web) Using cached django_haystack-3.3.0.tar.gz (467 kB) Installing build dependencies ... error error: subprocess-exited-with-error × pip subprocess to install build dependencies did not run successfully. │ exit code: 1 ╰─> [2 lines of output] ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement setuptools>=61.2 (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for setuptools>=61.2 [end of output] note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. error: subprocess-exited-with-error × pip subprocess to install build dependencies did not run successfully. │ exit code: 1 ╰─> See above for output. note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. Running 'pip install setuptools' replies that it's already installed (which is what I expected, because I installed it earlier) Requirement already satisfied: setuptools in ./venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages (80.9.0) I tried clearing pip's cache, but that made no difference. I am running as the mailman user in venv. It seems to be somehow related to the django-haystack package. In fact, running 'pip install django-haystack' results in the same error message. Perhaps I need to take it up with the maintainers of that. -- Henry Hartley Westat RB 2151 -----Original Message----- From: Henry Hartley via Mailman-users <mailman-users(a)mailman3.org> Sent: Friday, June 6, 2025 09:31 To: Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net>; mailman-users(a)mailman3.org Subject: [MM3-users] Re: Trouble Installing Mailman3 CAUTION: External Email * [ This message appears to be from westat.com but the originating sender is external.] >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> >> >> >> The next step in the instructions has me create >> >> /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg.
