Thanks. As I said in my previous message, I'll wait > for the next upgrade and hopingly the translations done after 7h of > november (by others and me) will be there. I've visited Weblate, all Spanish strings are translated. Spanish is 100% translated, but, none of them have been "approved", whatever that is. It seems that a reviewer needs to approve the translation in order for them to be incorporated or released or whatever. I was sure I had reviewed everything between November 7th and the day Abhilash announced the release candidate and asked for translation review, but nothing has made it to the released version. Maybe there's something in the translation flow that we are doing wrong.

[MM3-users] Re: Strange messages after upgrading Mailman3

by Allan Hansen

I asked the poster of one message what he had done. Apparently, he had put the list address (just one list, according to him) in the Bcc: field. The message was then held for moderator approval and, when approved, sent out without a body. Another message was stopped because it did not have a subject field. Again, it was approved and then sent out without a body. From what I can see (the hold messages are sent to me as well), the messages were stripped after approval, as the approval messages have the message bodies. I will try to ask my moderators not to approve messages that are held by the server and instead reply to the senders and discard the messages. Yours, Allan P.S.: I had hoped that the upgrade would now allow the moderators to see the list of members, as that is enabled for each of my lists. It's now our top issue, with the change-of-address issue made easier. If moderators should not see the members list then maybe a third option on the menu should be 'Only list owners.' But it would be good for the moderators to see the list, as well as being able to subscribe and unsubscribe members.

I need more information about this. As far as I know, this can only happen with messages that are cross posted to multiple lists and held for moderator approval on more than one list. This should have been fixed in Mailman 3.3.6 by <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/merge_requests/932>. This should never happen with a post that is delivered to members without being held. Also, I think when this happens to a delivered post, the post in the archive will also have the content lost message.

That's a good way to go :-) My response is more of a (very) old sysadmin and Django user (since 2008) hunch that a proper one based on code and documentation review, but I've been trying to contribute several times and always (super) Mark Sapiro beats me :-) > If I'm reading the error correctly, this is related to an inability to > verify the cert chain.

You are right in your diagnose but not in your interpretation (see my comment below inside the traceback). It is certificate related, but not for server TLS, but for CLIENT authentication. > EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' > EMAIL_HOST = 'localhost' > EMAIL_PORT = 25 > EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'dnewman(a)networktest.com' > EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'wouldnt-you-like-to-know' > EMAIL_USE_TLS = 'True' > EMAIL_SSL_CERTFILE = '/etc/ssl/certs/myhost.crt' > EMAIL_SSL_KEYFILE = '/etc/ssl/private/myhost.key' All these settings above are used for SENDING messages and, if I'm not mistaken, the SSL key and cert are used for authenticating the user sending the email. Actually, using TLS and SMTP Auth for localhost is a bit too much. I've been configuring SMTP servers since 1990 and my mail servers just accept mail form localhost, if they are broken into, the user and password have already been exposed :-) > But this might only be for email, not Postorius/Django. You are right (if I also am) > What additional configuration is needed to allow regular users to create > and manage their own accounts? I'd say that is more what is not needed (the SMTP TLS authentication) I'll remove the "noise". These are the tell tale lines: > "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/django/core/mail/backends/smt > p.py", line 67, in open > self.connection.starttls(keyfile=self.ssl_keyfile, > certfile=self.ssl_certfile) The SMTP Django backend is trying to connect to the mail server to send the Mailman account confirmation message and failing, probably because the user Django runs as cannot open the private key (which is a very sensible thing if that private key is the one used for the web facing TLS certificate, I can tell you how bad in private or search for my name, wasd, apache and VMS ;-)) That certificate is not needed for sending email from Django, and, as I said, not even SMTP Auth for sending via localhost. Actually, doing SMTP Auth on port 25 is not even recommended practice.

I tried to change to ‘hash’, but the code in that bit of the function has not been tested enough. For example `hole = sha224(hole.encode('utf8')).hexdigest()` comes back with that the bytes object hole does not have an encode() method. When I change it to `hole = sha224(hole).hexdigest()`, the following error is: text = text[:match.start()] + hole + text[match.end():] TypeError: can't concat str to bytes The ‘hash’ part of that function needs some debugging.
