Well I can't dictate that to my list owners and there is no confirm token sent with the moderation notice. Why include this option in Postorius when it can't be properly handled? -- Brian Carpenter Harmonylists.com Emwd.com

For most services, directories and files in /etc/ may be readable for the service but usually not writable as you don't want the service itself change it's core configuration. On your server it looks like this: # ls -la /etc/mailman3 total 28 drwxr-xr-x. 2 root mailman 95 Oct 25 08:12 . drwxr-xr-x. 99 root root 8192 Oct 29 07:42 .. -rw-r--r--. 1 root mailman 266 Oct 25 07:37 gunicorn.conf -rw-r-----. 1 root mailman 92 Nov 21 2023 mailman-hyperkitty.cfg -rw-r-----. 1 root mailman 797 Sep 9 11:20 mailman.cfg -rw-r-----. 1 root mailman 3015 Oct 25 08:12 settings.py and it works just fine.

I have run "python manage.py rebuild_index" before, doesn't that do clear_index as well? Apart from that, I run hyperkitty in a docker container and didn't know fulltext_index should be persistent, so that got deleted after every version update for sure.

It looks the right way (I have apache running in that server) to solve it. What intrigues me is the fact that I didn't change anything in the apache config or update apache itself. Well, tomorrow will be antoher day. Thanks for the point.

Had I looked more closely at the Traceback, I would have realized that the issue is that the list's list:admin:action:post template contains non-ascii. In particular, the character in position 5 is ’ which is a unicode right_single_quote, not an ascii apostrophe. > > There may be other unicode fancy quotes ad well. > > You can fix the template to contain only ascii or you can set the character set for English to utf-8 by adding > ``` > [language.en] > charset: utf-8 > ``` > to mailman.cfg. The downside of the latter is that outgoing message bodies will always be base64 encoded which generally precludes grepping mailboxes to find things. Ah hah! Right you are. I removed the offending fancy apostrophe. What about that traceback pointed to the template? (Is it something I could have figured out?) Is it possible to filter out UTF-8 chars from the templates when they are saved in Postorius? Thanks again, Seth

[MM3-users] Re: Fresh installation mailman3-suite via "pipx" - any experiences yet?

by Stephen J. Turnbull

Mark Sapiro writes: > But postorius and hyperkitty are dependencies of mailmanweb so only Are they? I'm pretty sure that in my current project which has a pre-existing archiver they wish to keep using I only installed postorius, not hyperkitty. ... oops, HyperKitty *is* there. OK, need to uninstall that. That's actually a bit annoying, since mailmanweb is a friendlier interface for control of either of HyperKitty and Postorius than the underlying Django utilities even if you don't want the other and its unique dependencies (such as Whoosh). (Issue #32 created) OK, so your two-venv approach should actually work. I still don't think it's much of a win since to finish setup you still have to do a lot of work as root and a lot of work outside of pipx's control. Basically it saves one "python3 -m venv", at the cost of "pipx run" to run each program in its own venv. Note, it doesn't save me any venv activationss because I put that in the mailman user's shell .rc. Wikinaut asks: > Has anyone tried that already? Why not you? Steve
