I don't know either, especially since ListArchiverSet.__init__() has this: # Add any system enabled archivers which aren't already associated # with the mailing list. for archiver_name in system_archivers: exists = store.query(ListArchiver).filter( ListArchiver.mailing_list == mailing_list, ListArchiver.name == archiver_name).one_or_none() if exists is None: store.add(ListArchiver(mailing_list, archiver_name, system_archivers[archiver_name])) It runs the exact same query, and only adds the archiver to the store if it doesn't already exist.

The effect of the template files not being readable by user "mailman" was interesting. Hundreds of lines like the following got written to mailman-core's var/log/smtp.log file at the rate of 4 per second: Jul 23 17:09:54 2020 (25) Using agent: <mailman.mta.bulk.BulkDelivery object at 0x7fdf9e7b5f28> (the hex number was different each time). Having excessively restrictive permissions on the template files is a silly - but easy enough - mistake to make. If it were possible to add it to Mailman 3, a more descriptive logging message could point others who make it in the right direction, perhaps. I spent a long time trying to figure out why messages weren't getting sent out from Mailman core, and in the end it was luck in form of a colleague's suggestion about file permissions that got me out of the rut. Thanks for the great support, Stephen Kenny

The docker has documentation on running management commands, which in this case is “shell” [1] $ docker exec -it mailman-web python3 manage.py shell [1]: https://asynchronous.in/docker-mailman/web/#django-management-commands I know there are plethora of ways to run Django management commands, but this is the easiest one for docker. django-admin will work too, but you have to be in the right working directory for the import path to work and it get weird. I’ve always disliked how Django management commands work unfortunately and in trying to “fix” that with “mailman-web” (which isn’t adopted by container images), i feel I might have re-invented a third option. -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

by Jonas Felber

Thank you for your support, I got informed that we are now able to send out emails again. The problem was that the crashes we got while mass subscribing led to database corruptions. (From what I know, the problem was on our side, as we kubernetes did not properly restore some files after restarting so the database got corrupted (apparently we are running now a cleanup script on each restart)) There are still some problems, but I just wanted to send out a quick update.

[MM3-users] AttributeError: ,> 'ReopenableFileHandler' object has no attribute '_stream'

by David Newman

((reposting with correct subject line -- sorry!)) Greetings. I am attempting a complete Mailman 3 installation on a Debian 10 system that already runs Mailman 2, following this documentation: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html Even following this guide, I'd had a lot of issues with permissions, where directories and files were owned by list rather than mailman. After correcting those issues, I then got to the point of checking mailman3's status, and systemctl shows this error: Nov 19 20:09:57 [REDACTED] mailman[1463]: Error in atexit._run_exitfuncs: Nov 19 20:09:57 [REDACTED] mailman[1463]: Traceback (most recent call last): Nov 19 20:09:57 [REDACTED] mailman[1463]: File "/usr/lib/python3.7/logging/__init__.py", line 2038, in shutdown Nov 19 20:09:57 [REDACTED] mailman[1463]: h.flush() Nov 19 20:09:57 [REDACTED] mailman[1463]: File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/mailman/core/logging.py", line 67, in flush Nov 19 20:09:57 [REDACTED] mailman[1463]: if self._stream: Nov 19 20:09:57 [REDACTED] mailman[1463]: AttributeError: 'ReopenableFileHandler' object has no attribute '_stream' There is an October 2019 thread on this error [1] but I think it's in a different context, where the OP already had mailman3 running, and was trying to migrate Mailman 2 lists. Also, regarding those permissions issues above, it matters which "layout" value is in /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg. I'd tried "dev" because I saw a post from Mark Sapiro recommending that, but then mailman3 wanted me to create a bunch of directories under /etc, even though $var_dir was set to /var/lib/mailman3. Things seem to go better, except for the confusion between lists/mailman ownership, when I set layout to "debian", which was the default. Thanks in advance for clues on addressing the ReopenableFileHandler error above. dn [1] https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/…
