I only have the message I would get as the owner of the list that the delivery has been disabled, I don't have the original bounce message. One thing to note is the bounce messages coming in from Gmail are being generated by Office 365 (as that is the outbound smarthost for the Mailman server), so it may be due to the format of those NDRs why we aren't seeing the original bounce messages attached to the email.

It is merely a set of settings that are applied to your SHELL when you are in the virtual environment. It is not supposed to be always active, only when you actually want to run commands in that virtual environment. The services will keep on running after you deactivate your shell and would function like other normal services on your machine. -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

With just a suggestion that you have a SIGN UP blue button to make things less confusing and not necessitating multiple clicking. This is difficult. See my reply to your first message. You will notice that when you click sign-up in either Postorius or HyperKitty, you go to <https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/accounts/signup/> which is neither Postorius nor HyperKitty but Django. So the current process is click sign-up, go to Django and sign up, then go back to Postorius and subscribe. To do this all in one step, Postorius would need to send you to /accounts/signup/?next=/postorius/lists/discuss.list.tokyoprogressive.org/ which it currently does, but there would need to be extra communication between Django and Postorius so that when Django returned to /postorius/lists/discuss.list.tokyoprogressive.org/, Postorius would know to tell Core to subscribe you. However, this is missing a step, because Django sends you an email requesting you to confirm your address, and you don't actually have an account until you confirm. This dance also renders the next=/postorius/lists/discuss.list.tokyoprogressive.org/ ineffective. Presumably Postorius could tell Core to subscribe you anyway even though you haven't confirmed your account, but Postorius doesn't know what address you signed up with. > The main obstacle I found was I had my list settings as NO to "Choose whether to include this list on the list of all lists".

No, different membership. No problem, I'm just being lazy about it; I'll just duplicate it and copy the settings over manually. I only have two clones to make so it's really not a big deal.
