I see the occasional “table is locked” error (I am running against sqlite because I only run a couple of lists and I was having issues getting the postgres config working) so it skips the occasional message.

Security?? For the passwords, yes. It was frequently reported as a bug, in fact. Mostly the reminders generate requests to know how to shut them off. You're the first in probably a decade who's asked how to turn them on! While in theory we could protect in transit with SMTP over TLS, we can't guarantee end-to-end encryption (eg, if there's a .forward at the subscribed address), and while TLS is widely implemented, it's still not universal. And there's no way to protect unencrypted email from admins at the receiving host. Receiving encrypted email is pretty much not implemented at all, except in some specialized communities. Also, now that passwords (if they're used) are attributes of Users who may have several Addresses and worse, they may have admin privileges. So Mailman 3 passwords are generally higher value than in Mailman 2. I can imagine a use for the list of subscriptions part that a few users might like, but most folks would prefer not to get another regular mailing. Steve

Bingo. Adding location statements for hyperkitty and postorius and restarting Nginx cleared the issue. Unclear why this ever worked before the upgrade. I don't remember monkeying with a urls.py file.

New messages are now being archived as expected, but I still have a few small remaining issues to work out with my MM3 installation: 1) some emails that arrived before I got the archive working are still sitting in: /usr/local/mailman3/mm/var/archives/prototype/[listname]@[domain]/new Strangely this includes at least one email that was archived. Should this directly be cleared as messages are archived? Is there a way to force it to be cleared? 2) Some messages that arrived while I was having other problems with the setup have been stored in: /usr/local/mailman3/mm/var/queue/shunt What should I do to get these messages processed? 3) Similar to above, some messages are in: /usr/local/mailman3/mm/var/queue/bad How can I get these messages processed? 4 Modified the template for “list:admin:action:post” through Postorious and emails that arrived after that were put in the “shunt” queue. I traced this problem to POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL. By default, it is set to "http://localhost:8000 <http://localhost:8000/>” which is where uwsgi is listening. However, uwsigi is listening for uwsgi:/ not http://. Should I change POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL to “uwsgi://localhost:8000 <uwsgi://localhost:8000>” or keep http but make it something else? Thanks again for any help anyone can provide. Jeff

[MM3-users] Re: High memory usage

by Stephen Daniel

I'm not an expert, and you might be better served by posting this question in one of the communities that serves sysadmins; however, my reading says that the oom-killer is invoked when the system cannot allocate more virtual memory, not more physical memory. The graph in your screenshot is physical memory usage. The first thing I would try is increasing the size of your swap partition. That adds to the amount of available virtual memory, without the need for actually buying more RAM. If you really need more RAM the result will be that the system stays up, oom-killer stays quiet, but performance is bad and the "si" and "so" columns in vmstat get into the triple digits or higher.
