Do you see all three? And if you go to > https://example.com/mailman3/users and click Manage for your address, do > you see all 3 under Addresses? Now I see a difference here! User-profile shows my GMail address as primary and my own-domain address as secondary. The third address is not present, because I actually wanted to get rid of it, and it seems I succeeded in that. Mailman3/users shows me with the address I wanted to get rid of. If I click Manage, I see all 3 addresses, with (for some reason) only the GMail one being verified (strange because I'm sure I verified the other as well). And here's something interesting: it shows me as a member with my GMail address under subscriptions, but shows me with my megabrutal.com domain under ownerships. This might be the cause? Maybe HyperKitty wants to use my owner identity, which is not subscribed? Btw, is the owner not automatically considered as someone who can post to the list, they also need to be subscribed?

I've now found the SHUNT entries and the exceptions seem related to restarting mailman (see below) so that much makes sense. unshunting does indeed restore them, but unfortunately they're now back in the looping state.

It seems to me that explicitly displaying the nonmember role is an internal and/or administrative need, and most ordinary users are only interested in whether they are subscribed or not. If the list appears in "their" list of list, they're going to assume they're subscribed. (We've even had that confusion about moderators and owners in the past.) I haven't done any deep thinking about this, but perhaps we could provide a more streamlined view tuned to this specific need? That is, the role won't go away, but at least in some contexts you'll have to ask explicitly for that user-list relationship to be displayed. Also, IIRC Allan's community contains a substantial group of folks with visual impairments, presumably including admins and moderators. Especially to serve that circumstance I think it makes sense for us to provide streamlined views that are more easily grasped as a whole where we can.

Thanks Mark and Brian. I'll try the suggestions. My IP might have got blocked by CBL when testing mailman3 against a Gmail address. I have since removed it from CBL. I don't know how my IP got into the Outlook's block list. Maybe a used one. Will try DKIM signing and Microsoft programs.

[MM3-users] Re: Mailman3 throws 500 error (unicode encode) when loading held messages in Postorius

by Simon Handfield

Hi Mark, thanks for correcting my assumption. Based on your information I have been able to identify the suspect message file in /var/lib/mailman3/messages, replace the suspect file with another file, update the file permissions and successfully load the held messages page. This allowed me to discard the suspect message and other held messages are then available for review again. In case the steps below help someone else who is having this issue here are the steps I followed with my initial search string redacted: Searched all files in messages folder for matching string: cd /var/lib/mailman3/messages grep -ir [REDACTED] * Finds string in one file: Binary file HE/D7/HED7SJLGJXTJ35AESY32AZXYPXDEVUVV matches Check whether file can be parsed using mailman command: mailman qfile ./HE/D7/HED7SJLGJXTJ35AESY32AZXYPXDEVUVV Throws a matching error: [----- start pickle -----] <----- start object 1 -----> Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/mailman", line 11, in <module> load_entry_point('mailman==3.1.1', 'console_scripts', 'mailman')() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/bin/mailman.py", line 97, in main args.func(args) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/commands/cli_qfile.py", line 81, in process printer.pprint(obj) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/pprint.py", line 139, in pprint self._format(object, self._stream, 0, 0, {}, 0) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/pprint.py", line 161, in _format rep = self._repr(object, context, level) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/pprint.py", line 393, in _repr self._depth, level) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/pprint.py", line 405, in format return _safe_repr(object, context, maxlevels, level) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/pprint.py", line 555, in _safe_repr rep = repr(object) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/email/message.py", line 45, in __repr__ return self.__str__() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/email/message.py", line 135, in __str__ return self.as_string() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/email/message.py", line 158, in as_string g.flatten(self, unixfrom=unixfrom) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/email/generator.py", line 116, in flatten self._write(msg) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/email/generator.py", line 181, in _write self._dispatch(msg) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/email/generator.py", line 214, in _dispatch meth(msg) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/email/generator.py", line 272, in _handle_multipart g.flatten(part, unixfrom=False, linesep=self._NL) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/email/generator.py", line 116, in flatten self._write(msg) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/email/generator.py", line 181, in _write self._dispatch(msg) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/email/generator.py", line 214, in _dispatch meth(msg) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/email/generator.py", line 243, in _handle_text msg.set_payload(payload, charset) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/email/message.py", line 315, in set_payload payload = payload.encode(charset.output_charset) UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 8-9: ordinal not in range(128) Move suspicious file out of messages: mv ./HE/D7/HED7SJLGJXTJ35AESY32AZXYPXDEVUVV /root/20200914/ held_messages page still throws 500 error.

As Steve said, messages in the shunt queue have nothing to do with the held messages view in postorius.

I made progress. It turns out that I needed the uwsgi-logger-file rpm package and It wasn't installed with the uwsgi server. I adapted the settings also, since I was using Emperor mode (recall that there are other Django projects on the box). Currently, mailman, uwsgi and nginx are all running.

I am using Docker-mailman (not yet very familiar Docker and version control). I would expect I have to wait for a Docker-mailman release including this change, right? I have at least five+ lists which almost haven't been working since my switch from Mailman 2.1 to Mailman 3.1 (Docker-mailman 0.1.1), and I am desperate trying to figure out whether it is best to fall back to the Mailman 2 server, for the time being, where the lists came from, or it is better to wait for an update to the Docker-image. Will https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/milestone/2 fix my problems regarding failed mail handling and will it become available soon (when?)
