That worked. Now on https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#starting-mailman -automatically it says "Pay attention to the config file output above and make sure that you see /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg there. If the config path is different, you should make sure to create a new config file at /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg and re-run the command." Well...mailman info yields GNU Mailman 3.3.5 (Tom Sawyer) Python 3.7.3 (default, Mar 23 2024, 16:12:05) [GCC 8.3.0] config file: /opt/mailman/mm/mailman.cfg db url: postgres://mailman:5DqTHnv8hUQSdd@localhost/mailman devmode: DISABLED REST root url: http://localhost:8001/3.1/ REST credentials: restadmin:restpass Should I create a new config file at /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg ? Lastly, when I ran this command it says "loaded failed failed" (venv) mailman@lists:/opt/mailman/mm$ systemctl list-units | grep -i mailman gunicorn.service loaded active running GNU Mailman web interfaces ● mailman.service loaded failed failed GNU Mailing List Manager Please advise.

In Mailman's var/locks directory (maybe /opt/mailman/mm/var/locks/) you will see at least two files. The ones of interest are: ``` master.lck master.lck|<host_name>|<pid>|<random_integer> ``` First verify that pid is not running or if it is, that it's not Mailman's `master` process. Then remove all the files from the var/locks/ directory and Mailman should start. > Bottom line: I would like for Mailman core to start when I reboot the > server. How can this be achieved please?

I expect the python libraries already support this. We could implement a bind_address setting that would pass to gunicorns --bind parameter anything acceptable to gunicorn, although multiple values are tricky as they apparently require multiple -b/--bind options and a single -b/--bind doesn't support a list of values.

I will add a header filter. One final question: When adding a new header filter I can select between different actions. And there is one named "Default Anti-Spam action" (roughly translated from German). I cannot find anything else about this somewhere else in the settings (Postorius). So what it is the "Default Anti-Spam action"? Best regards Torge

This is expected. > When he/she logs in to list his/her account, the list to which he/she holds non-memberships will be listed and the user will think that he/she has been properly subscribed (why else are the lists listed). I'm guessing you are talking about the https://www.example.com/mailman3/accounts/subscriptions/ page. On that page, all membership roles (owner, moderator, member, nonmember) are listed. Note that if the user goes instead to info page for the list, appropriate pronoun will be presented with a subscribe form. > Noone notices the column that shows the role as 'nonmember.' So he/she thinks that the subscription request has been accepted, but nothing is working. That's why the 'non-member' record is an issue. I also don't see why non-members are automatically added, filling up the database with junk (at least from our point of view, with all respect). That's the way Mailman 3 is designed. Changing it would be a major undertaking. Consider the case where default nonmember action is hold rather than discard. Then when handling a nonmember post, the moderator can set the nonmember's moderation to default processing to essentially accept future posts from that nonmember if the nonmember has a legitimate reason to post, or to discard if the nonmember is a spammer. If you think it would help, you might consider colorizing the roles on that page so perhaps nonmember could be in red. This should be a simple patch to Postorius. > But our lists don't accept messages from non-members.

I don't know why this would be. I tested that script and it worked for me. My original point is the presence of a nonmember role should not prevent the user from subscribing. If there is an issue with subscribing it is probably because of the outstanding subscription request waiting moderator approval. I understand that you would like the nonmember role to disappear, but that isn't going to happen in the distribution, and I can't undertake the extensive effort required to figure out how you can do it for your site. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

[MM3-users] Re: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table

by Mohsen Masoudfar

Thanks you so much Mark, I appreciate your help! Yes, I did: [mta] incoming: mailman.mta.postfix.LMTP outgoing: mailman.mta.deliver.deliver lmtp_host: newlistserv.aaas.org lmtp_port: 8024 smtp_host: newlistserv.aaas.org smtp_port: 25 configuration: python:mailman.config.postfix # postconf recipient_delimiter recipient_delimiter = + # postconf owner_request_special owner_request_special = no in main.cf: local_recipient_maps = hash:/opt/mailman/var/data/postfix_lmtp transport_maps = hash:/opt/mailman/var/data/postfix_lmtp virtual_alias_maps = hash:/opt/mailman/var/data/postfix_vmap Bur for some reason the postfix_lmtp.db is older than postfix_lmtp, which means it does not get updated automated, I guess. I restarted the whole stack and added a new list. In postfix logs I see: Apr 17 18:20:28 mailmandev01 postfix/smtpd[31399]: error: open database /opt/mailman/var/data/postfix_domains.db: No such file or directory Apr 17 18:20:28 mailmandev01 postfix/smtpd[31399]: error: open database /opt/mailman/var/data/postfix_vmap.db: No such file or directory I touched the /opt/mailman/var/data/postfix_vmap, but it did not help neither. In addition, I found out this : On my old mailman2 I have a setting in postfix main.cf: alias_maps = dbm:/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases the file /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases says in its first line: # This file is generated by Mailman, and is kept in sync with the # binary hash file aliases.db. YOU SHOULD NOT MANUALLY EDIT THIS FILE This makes a lot of sense to me. The point is I am missing any similar settings on postfix on mailman3. Maybe local_recipient_maps do that, but as I mentioned the DB file is older than the text file. The result is that the list (which is actually a postfix user) is unknown to postfix completely. Now what is missing here? It appears that postorius can talk to postfix to send welcome messages out, but Postfix is not aware about the User that Postorius has created and exists in SQLite DB. So rejects any email addressed to that one.

[MM3-users] Re: "held for moderation" - alias domain details sought

by Greg Newby

Thanks for this. After adding to "acceptable aliases," I also needed to add an entry in /etc/aliases, and then the moderation didn't happen. That's great! If I use an alias domain, will that replace the need for entries in /etc/aliases? I'm hesitant to explore since this is my production mail server. ~ Greg On Fri, Nov 1, 2024 at 1:51 PM Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> wrote: > On 11/1/24 11:14, Jeremy Stanley wrote: > > On 2024-11-01 11:04:07 -0700 (-0700), Greg Newby via Mailman-users wrote: > >> Hi friends.

By the way, in reading the URL in the error, I attempted to set the LANG and LC_ALL to en_US.utf8 (as was found in the error) but it still does not work.
