[MM3-users] Re: import an mm3 hyperkitty archive

by Eggert Ehmke

Thank you Mark, this got me on the right track. But I still think this not at all clear when reading the docs. My system is in a venv. I had to run these commands: mailman-web hyperkitty_import --since=01.01.2022 -l mylist@mydomain my-mbox-file mailman-web update_index_one_list mylist@mydomain Where is it stated that in this situation I have to run mailman-web instead of django-admin? Thanks anyway, problem solved. Am Donnerstag, 8.

[MM3-users] Fwd: Re: Removing a mail addresses and users

by Allan Hansen

All, This disconnect between Mailman Core and Django and Postorius is, by far, the weakest and, for subscribers, most confusing aspect of MM3 (once it has been installed, which is extremely hard and confusing). In a true account-centric system, you set up a web account and from there manage your emails and, for each email, your subscriptions. Subscription options would be hierarchical: account/email/list, with lower levels inheriting/overriding settings from/the level above. That’s really what I had expected when I pushed for us to move our 50 email lists to MM3 and I was very excited about the prospect, as it would solve a lot of system/subscriber management issues I had managing MM2. Alas, I was very surprised that that’s not how MM3 works. Some things got harder, even, such as the inability to change subscription addresses, which should have been a showstopper from the start! I still hope that MMxx OOTB will get there, but I guess it’ll be along haul. Would we be talking about MM4 to be released 20 years from now? Some dedicated and skilled developers are currently investing heavily in a replacement for Postorius, but I really believe that any work is better spent transforming Mailman Core etc. into a true account-based system. Then, and only then, will it make sense to build new and better interfaces on top, as, without a healthy core, such interface will currently may have to inherit the confusion and disconnect that currently is so aggravating. The above is not meant to aggravate the MM3 development team, for which I have utmost respect and gratitude, and which I admire for their tireless support given over decades to the community of admins. Software development is devilishly hard and time consuming.

To clarify more, we have this ability for List owners with our own custom admin interface (Affinity). I thought Postorius had that. When I checked out Postorius, I was indeed logged in as server owner. Sorry for the incorrect info. -- Brian Carpenter Harmonylists.com Emwd.com

The Apache documentation strongly implies that this needs to be explicitly enabled by the admin: The forward proxy is activated using the ProxyRequests directive. Because forward proxies allow clients to access arbitrary sites through your server and to hide their true origin, it is essential that you secure your server so that only authorized clients can access the proxy before activating a forward proxy. By contrast for a reverse proxy: A reverse proxy is activated using the ProxyPass directive or the [P] flag to the RewriteRule directive. It is not necessary to turn ProxyRequests on in order to configure a reverse proxy. Both are from https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy.html. > However, see > https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message… > > I now suspect the real issue is there's no wsgi server listening on port > 8000. Could be. Apache docs notwithstanding, I'm happy to trust your intuition, and that would make things simple for the OP. :-) Steve

The only think I noticed after trawling through all the configs is there was no moderator address set up. In Mailman 2.1 that meant the list owner would be asked to moderate. I've added a couple of addresses to see what happens next For other lists on the same mailman instance I *am* seeing moderation requests for non-member postings --- but they had explicit moderator addresses configured.

I did an installation following the venv directions, and it looks as though the system now uses both archivers. If this is a duplication of effort and storage, is it safe to disable the prototype archiver like this: # /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg .. [archiver.prototype] enable: no and then delete anything under here? /opt/mailman/mm/var/archives/prototype/ Thanks dn

(Search for "list > creation times out" returns no results in either core or Postorius > issues.) This is the first time I am actually seeing this. I tried hammering a local server with default number of workers, 2, and created 5000 lists in a loop and went through pretty smooth. I am probably not replicating the exact situation, I am using the sqlite database (which I presumed would be slow and choke up faster but...it didn't). Creating list isn't one of the slow operations AFAIK, so I am actually surprised that it needs increasing timeout. It could be the interaction with database layer maybe, but I can't be sure without more debugging. > _______________________________________________ > Mailman-users mailing list -- mailman-users(a)mailman3.org > To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-leave(a)mailman3.org > https://lists.mailman3.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.mailman3.org/ > -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

Thank you (also for Odhiambo) Now remains one question: We have a (internal) Active Directory (AD) Authentication for Mailman3. So everyone who wants to work as an owner nor moderator must be an AD-User. In hyperkitty I am able to assign these list rights directly to AD-Loginnames. With the logic above I have to assign these rights in postorius too by assining the mail address of the users AD-Account? (I see no AD-Data here). Or would it works to assing the mail address of the users AD-Account first an then the allocation will automaticly synced to hyperkitty - maybe using the mail address as key? What would be the best practice for owner/moderator user management? Thank you!

In my case, no uppercase addresses were found by the UC_fix script, whereas the Mult_primary did spot two accounts, both with 'staff status' in Django admin UI and with the same set of extra addresses. Most probably my fault, as I intended to use both accounts for administrative tasks and played to far with assigning the same sets of addresses, one of which was primary for one account.
