[MM3-users] Re: Mailman 3 installation, no mails in hyperkitty, unable to add footer.

by Ugnius S

Hi, Mark. Thank You for trying to help me. I do not remember how exactly I installed mailman or by apt-get or: $ sudo pip3 install mailman ---I think, have tried this way, but it already was installed. ~/mailman-suite$ mailman info GNU Mailman 3.2.2 (La Villa Strangiato) Python 3.5.3 (default, Sep 27 2018, 17:25:39) [GCC 6.3.0 20170516] config file: /home/user/mailman-suite/mailman.cfg db url: sqlite:////home/user/mailman-suite/var/data/mailman.db devmode: DISABLED REST root url: http://localhost:8001/3.1/ REST credentials: restadmin:Rest_password MTA works correctly. Yes, I understand the error is very strange, but this exactly happens when I add footer custom template to list's regular message via web interface. "telnet loclhost 25" answers correctly. Messages about new members adding and new list creating works and reach the recipients. But Mailman for some strange reasons could not to sent messages from member to other list's members. And nothing to do more: it is enough to delete template and mailman starts send new messages correctly. One remark all messages during with customs template was active remain somewhere in between and do not go out even if template is deleted. I can't even imagine how to debug that. I have noticed that by experience - method to check does mailman work after every small update. This system is so easy to make not working, and then is so hard to understand what did happen. It would be good to read about working example how to setup, and which moments are important. There are many places documented about separate packages, but not full example. I have found one here https://lab.uberspace.de/guide_mailman-3.html, but here part of steps seems are not written as well. For example uwsgi ini and pre required environment. It could happen that for author these steps were trivial, but for person from side some small explanations are very important to understand whole picture of setup and why small parameters where set exactly that way. Of course I am very thankful for authors of that example, because that helped me as well. 2019-08-23, pn, 20:28 Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> rašė: > On 8/23/19 8:11 AM, ugniusviln(a)gmail.com wrote: > > I have read documentation, but still have stupid questions, could You > please help, because I can't make it working.

Yeah, the funny thing here Mark is he is not asking for support for the interface. He is wanting to know why isn't there a way for List Owners to modify moderation notices.

Thanks for this. Would I need to create the lists first on the new server before restoring databases and running hyperkitty_import? Also, I'm unclear about there not being scripts for settings, users, etc. –– isn't that stuff in the mailman database? Thanks! dn

[MM3-users] Re: Memory footprint

by Richard Shetron

some systems also support the sar command (system activity report). If you have it read the manpages to see all the options as there are many. When looking for performance issues/problems that aren't real easy to find I like to just let 'vmstat 5' run in a window and take a look occasionally, particularly when things seem slow. I prefer the 5 second readings to see more about general trends.

During the installation process dpkg creates not only a database and a database user with approriate permissions, but also many tables. Dpkg allows to skip database configuration.

That looks more promising. It's been chugging away now for 3 hours with only 4 errors reported so far. # cd /usr/share/mailman3-web/ # python3 manage.py hyperkitty_import --since='1970-01-01' -l LISTNAME@DOMAIN /home/mark/tmp/LISTNAME.mbox "Failed adding message ......(a)mail.yahoo.com>: A string literal cannot contain NUL (0x00) characters". The mbox file is about 3 GB. The errors look like they're for messages that aren't kosher (maybe misplaced "From"s in replies). I can live with a few missing messages. Back to watching the spinning pipe. Chug chug. Cheers Mark

This just makes it kind of work as the mailman interface when it gets rewritten. My problem is that the url is getting referred to domainname/mailman3/lists even when I don't want it to. Adding these changes just (partially) loads the mailman3 interface when it gets rewritten. What I'm trying to figure out is where uwsgi yanks control from nginx and does the rewriting. Pulling that proxypass stuff out will stop mailman3 from coming up, and adding it allows mailman3 to show its interface, but the address gets referred regardless. Somehow I need to tell uwsgi to ignore www.domain.com *or* somehow tell nginx not to push it to port 8000. But I don't see where nginx is getting told to go to 8000 in the www.domain.com section. billo
