By default, Postfix uses the `myhostname` variable to define your HELO/EHLO. In your /etc/postfix/main.cf change your `myhostname` to be an FQDN. If your mail server's FQDN is actually mail.example.com on the rDNS and forward DNS side, then set this in /etc/postfix/main.cf: myhostname = mail.example.com Then restart your Postfix. That will solve your issue. Thomas

Thanks for fixing it on this list. But as I noted, it would be better if the application/*signature parts were automagically passed when a multipart/signed is present. Ideally those that correspond to the multipart/signed, but it's probably less work to allow them anywhere. I've seen variations of this misconfiguration on a number of lists, all of whose administrators had to learn by experience. Seems like a good case for Mailman becoming smart enough to do the right thing...

This will last a day or two, but in the meantime bounce counts get cranked up which can send some lists over the edge and start disabling/removing subscribers. In a bash script I can query the the database like so: UPDATE MEMBER SET bounce_score = 3 FROM address WHERE address.id = member.address_id AND email LIKE'%hotmail.com' AND member.bounce_score >= 4 AND member.list_id = '<LISTID>' The idea is that the script can be croned hourly for a couple of days on multiple lists to wind down the bounce_counts (preventing disable/remove) while the Microsoft issue gets resolved. > You mentioned reset_bounce.py, but that doesn't reset scores.

The server runs power-mailinabox, which uses Postfix indeed. All my mail, and quite a few others' mail is sent from the using SMTP-Auth on port 465.

[MM3-users] Re: Help needed to create filters that were working in Mailman 2.

by Mark London

Mark - I'm an idiot. I previously had modified some of the text in Postorius to be shorter, and somehow had deleted the Accept feature! I hope not to ever have to upgrade our email server ever again. It took much years off my life. In any event, here's one of the text that I modified to be briefer. Perhaps you can see why I shortened it. Besides which, who goes on vacation these days, and disables emails from any source? I have users that literally have tens of thousands of unread email. They don't bother to delete it. Grrr... - Mark help_text=_( 'Set this option to Enabled to receive messages posted to this ' 'mailing list.

[MM3-users] [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lock/mailman/mailman-cfg

by David Newman

Greetings. I am attempting a complete Mailman 3 installation on a Debian 10 system that already runs Mailman 2, following this documentation: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html Even following this guide, I'd had a lot of issues with permissions, where directories and files were owned by list rather than mailman. After correcting those issues, I then got to the point of checking mailman3's status, and systemctl shows this error: Nov 19 20:09:57 [REDACTED] mailman[1463]: Error in atexit._run_exitfuncs: Nov 19 20:09:57 [REDACTED] mailman[1463]: Traceback (most recent call last): Nov 19 20:09:57 [REDACTED] mailman[1463]: File "/usr/lib/python3.7/logging/__init__.py", line 2038, in shutdown Nov 19 20:09:57 [REDACTED] mailman[1463]: h.flush() Nov 19 20:09:57 [REDACTED] mailman[1463]: File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/mailman/core/logging.py", line 67, in flush Nov 19 20:09:57 [REDACTED] mailman[1463]: if self._stream: Nov 19 20:09:57 [REDACTED] mailman[1463]: AttributeError: 'ReopenableFileHandler' object has no attribute '_stream' There is an October 2019 thread on this error [1] but I think it's in a different context, where the OP already had mailman3 running, and was trying to migrate Mailman 2 lists. Also, regarding those permissions issues above, it matters which "layout" value is in /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg. I'd tried "dev" because I saw a post from Mark Sapiro recommending that, but then mailman3 wanted me to create a bunch of directories under /etc, even though $var_dir was set to /var/lib/mailman3. Things seem to go better, except for the confusion between lists/mailman ownership, when I set layout to "debian", which was the default. Thanks in advance for clues on addressing the ReopenableFileHandler error above. dn [1] https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/…

From what I learnt recently, you can even import an archive into HyperKitty without having a ML in Core associated with it. So my starting point would be to look at mailman.log and see what goes in there. I could even up the debugging level if need be.
