See <https://wiki.list.org/x/17892072> Thank you - that did solve my timeout problem. However, each page for this list takes between 40 and 80 seconds to load. The list has 465 members, and it’s running (via Docker) on a 2 core, 4 GB RAM Linode VM. I’ve watch htop during the load - one CPU is around 20%, and the other hovers around 80%, mostly with the process “runner”. Is there a way to optimize this list? There are no held messages, no subscription requests, no templates. The next biggest list has 438 members, and all those pages load very quickly (0-2 seconds). I can’t figure out what the difference between the two lists. Thanks, Seth

While this is always true for mailman-core, in some configurations the mailman-web files are also inside the ./var/ tree, and they need to be readable (and, for some, writable) by the process acting as webserver, which may or may not be list:list. In my case (a bit off-piste) I have set mailman-web it up to run as owner=www-data, for example (I forget quite why this was needed now!!).

Thanks Mark, We are indeed running mailman core 3.3.2 and using mysql. The data appears indeed to be truncated judging from the missing closing curly bracket (see below).

There was some problem with the user's confirmation reply. View the shunted message with the command ``` mailman qfile path/to/var/queue/shunt/1619705788.5856323+57a1a759275c59b732cfa8e2985f76cfc c27dda5.pck ``` although that probably won't show anything wrong as it appears that the issue is with the saved workflow. You can get the token from the shunted message and then look at the database with something like ``` SELECT data FROM workflowstate WHERE token = '<the token>' ``` but I suspect the issue is because the database is MySQL or MariaDB, your Mailman core is older than 3.3.3 and your database server mode is such that data too long for column results in truncation, and the data in this case is truncated to 255 bytes. In Mailman 3.3.3, this column was changed from VARCHAR(255) to VARCHAR(510) for MySQL. As far as subscribing the user is concerned, you can in Postorius view the subscriptions waiting user confirmation and delete this one and then `mass subscribe` the user. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

[MM3-users] converting bulk accept_these_nonmembers in migration from mailman 2 to 3

I have been instructed by Mark Sapiro to subscribe to this list to post questions related to mailman3.

Actually the migration has been made operative yesterday (and so we got the first problems ...). Basic background. There are a number of lists within my institution (a nationwide research institution with many seats across our country), some are institutional (all staff subscribed ex officio) and managed by staff in one seat, some other are non-institutional (subscription is optional) and are managed by a few volunteers in other cities different from the seat where the mailman server runs. > In particular, the list settings for *_these_nonmembers are at Settings > -> Message Acceptance, but these settings in particular are deprecated > in Mailman 3 except for regexps. In Mailman 3 the preferred way to say > accept a nonmember is to create a nonmember for that user and set it's > Moderation action to Default Processing. If, a nonmember posts, the > nonmember record is automatically created, Let me explain our case, and how it was managed in mailman2. - originally our staff (of the order of 1000) had addresses like user(a)place.inaf.it or user(a)place.astro.it. Some had even two (say place1.inaf.it and place2.inaf.it), so they subscribed with ONE of their work addresses - later we got addresses like name.surname(a)inaf.it. New users subscribe with this address but MANY of the old ones continue to use the PREVIOUS address. - we implemented a spam filtering policy as follows: - staff (and former staff) can SUBSCRIBE with any address or CHANGE their address. Any subscribed address will be recognised. Mail is NOT held in moderation unless too bulky, or has undisclosed recipients - mail from non members with any address in the .it TLD or in the tng.iac.es domain (where some of our staff work) goes into moderation (this is achieved via regexp in hold_these_nonmembers) - anything else is silently discarded as spam (generic_nonmember_action = discard) - when some staff posts from a non-subscribed address (be it the home address, or one of the alternate addresses described above) it therefore goes into moderation because of hold_these_nonmembers - in mailman2 we could let them pass "manually" (if we recognised the person) or (in case they used an alternate address) tick to add them permanently to accept_these_nonmembers (in one tick) - at the end we got somehow fed up of this but we did NOT want to accept any address of the form ^.+@.+\.inaf.it (which could be forged) but found that we could simply put in accept_these_nonmembers two entries like @list1 @list2 where list1 and list2 are two institutional lists on the same server which contain all permanent and temporary staff or assimilated with their official address (these lists are automagically generated each week) (so at least any VALID EXISTING official address is accepted) What I found now (after the migration done by the administrators of the central seat) is that in mailman3: - accept_these_nonmembers is empty - there are 189 entries listed in Non-members (which look those formerly in accept_these_nonmembers) - hold_these_nonmembers was copied identical with the same regexp's as in mailman2 - I have inspected a few of them and found that they have Administration options Moderation set to List default - the effect of this apparently was that a post from some.guy(a)inaf.it (whose subscription address is guy(a)somewhere.inaf.it) was hold for moderation is this due to a loop with the regexp in hold_these_nonmembers ? the default action would be to let it pass Or should we set Administration options Moderation to Accept immediately ? - if so, how can we do it automatically for all 189 entries ? - or move back the 189 addresses to accept_these_nonmembers ? - or for the future have persons posting with alternate addrresses accepted for the future WITH ONE CLICk ? - AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST would the syntax @list1 in accept_these_nonmembers work in mailman3 ? already putting it back will save a lot of work.
