My (very limited) experience with DigitalOcean is that they harbor bad actors. That's probably only because they're a very large provider, but YMMV (more important, Microsoft's mileage apparently does). Details follow for the curious. I need to find out who was knocking over my webserver every so often, so I did some cave-diving in the logs. In the process, I discovered that about 95% of vulnerability probes (attempts access to scripts not installed on my server averaging 5X/day) were coming from DigitalOcean netblocks, almost all of those from something called stretchoid.com. I've blocked the whole /18 where stretchoid lives: DROP tcp -- 192.241.192.0/18 0.0.0.0/0 Security analysts on the web have different opinions of stretchoid; some classify them as "malicious activity", others seem to think they're some sort of researcher. I think they're a PITA, and there are zero legit connections from that netblock in my logs, so "bye-bye". Now I see unexpected access attempts about 1/5 days. :-) Oh, and who *was* knocking over my server? It turned out that once a month my employer tried about 9000 different hacks in rapid sequence and it took a couple hours for the backlog to clear, so my students couldn't access their wiki accounts or my schedule page during that period. Blocked connections from the vulnerability probing host, and there have been no black helicopters over my office, so I guess that's that. :-) Steve

[MM3-users] Re: where to configure max_days_to_hold on MM3 GUI interface?

by Shashikanth Komandoor

Thank you Abilash Raj for your help which made me step ahead. With your help, I have written a for loop as below which makes all the lists on my Mailman 3 box set the configuration of max_days_to_hold as 1 and of course I am successful in setting so. And the for loop is as below: *for listid in `curl -u restadmin:restpass -X GET http://localhost:8001/3.1/lists <http://localhost:8001/3.1/lists> | python -mjson.tool| grep "list_id" | awk -F"\"" '{print $4}'` * *do * * curl -u restadmin:restpass -X PATCH http://localhost:8001/3.1/lists/$listid/config <http://localhost:8001/3.1/lists/$listid/config> -d max_days_to_hold='1'* *done* With the above script I am able to set the value of max_days_to_hold as required but how to check manually and make my held messages discarded automatically which are after the specified period configured for max_days_to_hold. If I am able to do it manually I can be confident to take in to production so that the held messages after a specific period would not be appeared under "held messages" tab.

[MM3-users] Re: Template's encoding setup

by Ugnius S

Hi. I am not sure, maybe it could be another topic about header and footer, but I have met one additional issue related to that. This noticed only on HTML text messages. If message comes in HTML the header does not add extra <enter> new line, new paragraph and footer as well. For example if message body has no additional, list's decorated message looks next: TEST HEADER _____________________Hello, text text text, pictures, text regards Ugnius____________________ TEST FOOTER I have tried to add more empty lines in "The footer for a regular (non-digest) message.", but mailman removes these empty lines. Work around is put dot "." and then several empty lines. Mark, I have found Your post about HTML headers and footers: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/… YES, that works good, I have tested it, but only in cases if message comes in HTML. If sender sends plain text message, mailman adds footer with all HTML code: <BR>__________________<BR> <B> LIST NAME </B> Could it be possible that decorate.py would recognise message and if it has HTML text body, then just would add header/footer and if not (if message body is plain text) , then would strip header/footer "html to plain text" may removing html code from it?

I don't quite understand the relevance of the user accessing the localhost tcp port. Any local user can do that. I can access the template content with curl http://localhost:8000/mailman3/api/templates/list/community.lists.example.c… as well as curl http://lists.example.org/mailman3/api/templates/list/community.lists.exampl… as any user on the mailman server. And I can use the latter to access the template from anywhere as it's a public server. In any case, curl immediately returns the content. There is no delay. Thanks, Gerald

I started getting the disappearing mail problem again, though none of the references to errors from the changes I made originally. After spending a few hours going over debug files, I noticed that I kept getting a pam error. The mails were getting rejected over authentication errors. It turns out it was all a permissions problem with /sbin/unix_chkpwd. Apparently the sticky bit was not set correctly on installation. Here's a discussion of the problem: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/422411/pam-authentication-failure-… I still don't understand why this was a problem with mailman and not with "regular" mail, but doing the "chmod u+s /sbin/unix_chkpwd" resulted in things magically working just like it's supposed to.

I agree. My point was that the list is set as default to hold for moderation. But, a new user who sends an email to the list, whose Moderation Action is set to "none", was able to email the list without the email being held for moderation. I would have expected based on the threads I quoted, that a user who is added to the list via Mass subscribe, would not be able to send to the list without it being held. I'm happy to do more testing, provide other information/logs as desired if that would help? cheers, Mark

Mark, I tried doing this. I unsubscribed myself from a list, set the policy as you suggest and re-applied. I got no confirmation messages but as moderator I got the moderate message.
