Hi Victoriano,
Thanks for this. I could use some clarification on what specific changes you are suggesting. I *think* you are saying to remove the EMAIL_USE_TLS stuff and also move to another port (maybe 587), but I am not sure.
Also, the reason I added the TLS in the first place was that I was getting errors without it. And I am unclear why the cert / private key pair do not work for Django when they do work OK for Postfix, Nginx, and Dovecot.
Thanks for clarifying — and happy and safe 2022 to you as well!

Note that you want to copy from “src/postorius/templates” directory to your
"/opt/mailman/mm/custom” directory. It is important that you retain the “postorius”
and “hyperkitty” directories.
Here is what I have in my settings.py:
- 'DIRS': [],
+ 'DIRS': ['/Users/maxking/Documents/mm3/postorius/example_project/templates’],
And here is the structure of the templates directory you are seeing above:
$ tree /Users/maxking/Documents/mm3/postorius/example_project/templates
/Users/maxking/Documents/mm3/postorius/example_project/templates
└── postorius
└── lists
└── summary.html
Note that I am only overriding the Summary page here.

Note that you don’t want [“BASE_DIR”, “/custom/“] here, the comma is the
wrong value here. The docs I mentioned have a “/“.
Although, it is possible that even “/“ since that needs BASE_DIR to be a
Path datatype and not string.
Easiest thing with least surprise would be to use the full path, atleast to
ensure that template discovery works as expected.

Since I was running a dev server, it doesn’t need restart, but simply restarting

This warning seems a bit dated, though it's not completely wrong. It
comes from the days when HTML was new, browsers were fragile, and
javascript treated with suspicion. And virus/spam scanners for email
were non-existent.
Today, it's a very rare website that doesn't rely on javascript
(Postorious and Hyperkitty use JS). Browsers, while they still have
bugs, are much more defensive. And there are plenty of truly evil sites
that they have to defend against.
It is certainly true that archived e-mail can turn your site into an
unknowing distributor of malware: FLASH bugs, documents with embedded
buffer overflows, cross-site scripting and the other many ills of the
day. Wikis deal with this frequently.
However, in these cases, your mailing list has distributed the same bits
to your subscribers - a community that you probably care more about than
a random visitor to your (open) archive.
I wouldn't run a list - public or private - where the traffic doesn't go
through SPAM and virus filtering before Mailman sees it. (SpamAssassin
and ClamAV are good open-source solutions.) And once you've done that
(and Mailman 3's optional DMARC), most of these attacks are
defanged/mitigated. This is essentially automated moderation - to a point.
Note that all the Djano authentication schemes packaged with Mailman
(facebook, google, etc) rely on javascript and are sites littered with
what the comment refers to as "webbugs" - Google Analytics, tracking
cookies, browser fingerprinting, 0 size images (the original webbug).
They make money (and have become mainstream) using technologies that
were considered anti-social when that warning was written. (Personally,
I still think of them as anti-social, but the public has chosen to pay
for services with privacy...)
While some may elect to stick with the highly restrictive policies of
"plain text only", this limits the information content and applicability
of the the platform. Whether this is acceptable depends on the
community that you serve. Mailman can be an effective mechanism to
deliver rich media on a "push" basis. And that's "rich" by 1980
standards (bold, well-formatted tables, an attached agenda or document
package); not even "rich" by today's (sleeping cat videos...).
I think that Mailman has to be able to handle today's rich media with a
reasonable degree of safety and convenience. Including in the
archives. I thought that was one of the goals for Mailman Version 3...
I also think that the advice quoted above should be modified to better
reflect these realities. Mailman isn't the only tool available to
protect users from evil content, and aggressively filtering to plaintext
is a very blunt instrument. Including anti-spam, anti-virus, DNS
blacklisting, DKIM/DMARC tests in the delivery pipeline (most of which
can be/is done before Mailman touches a post) should be strongly
recommended.
Checks for headers indicating checked-by local (anti-spam/anti-virus)
agents should be available in the Mailman rulesets (and require some
cooperation from the MTA to ensure that they can't be passed through
from outside.)
There is nothing wrong with running a plain text only site, if it serves
your community. But if Mailman wants to be relevant in today's
environment, it has to adapt to rich content as more than an unwelcome
guest. (As I have :0)

I did this, but there is still a problem: The hyperkitty URL still shows
example.com.
Maybe I need to re-import the database to clear this?

When one day you'll be able to internalize what a Python virtual
environment is, you'll realize that it's VERY convenient.
You will actually embrace it from that point onwards.
(Spaghetti docs?) And it is hard to replace the various (and not

Actually, if you're this inclined to run everything natively, MM3 is
perhaps not for you. Why? Because you'll not easily find help here.
We focus on the virtual environment only as the standard.. Why? Because no
one is willing to deal with ALL the OS-centric packaging
out there. Python virtual environment is universal across all the OSes, I
can say.

We cannot answer that here. I guess they are meant for people like you who
strive under pain :-)
With the Python virtual environment, I can install and manage MM3 in almost
any *nix OS.

Yes, they are meant to be used. Noone denies that. However, they are not
packaged by the Mailman Developers.
Did you read one response from Mark Sapiro where he said, and I quote:
```
If you prefer to use the Debian packages, that's fine, but if using the
Debian packages, your primary resource for support, documentation, bug
reports, etc. should be Debian. See https://wiki.list.org/x/12812344
```
So yes, go ahead and use the Debian packages. No one is stopping you.

[MM3-users] Re: Digests not working correctly
by Joel Lord
Now I'm on one of the lists in digest mode and I can see that it's a
mess. Periodic digests are definitely NOT working, so I'll lay that out
here.
root@host2:/# cat /etc/cron.d/mailman
# This goes in /etc/cron.d/mailman
# Replace "apache" by your webserver user ("www-data" on Debian systems) and
# set the path to the Django project directory
0 23 * * * lists /usr/local/bin/mailman digests --periodic
0 23 * * * lists /usr/local/bin/mailman notify
root@host2:/# grep digests /var/log/cron.log
Jun 11 23:00:01 host2 CRON[1632765]: (lists) CMD (/usr/local/bin/mailman
digests --periodic)
Jun 12 23:00:01 host2 CRON[2177286]: (lists) CMD (/usr/local/bin/mailman
digests --periodic)
root@host2:/home/members/directory# su - lists
lists@host2:~$ /usr/local/bin/mailman digests --periodic
lists@host2:~$ ls var/lists/<list>/
digest.mmdf
In this case I've got /usr/local/bin/mailman as a symlink to the mailman
binary inside the venv's bin directory, just for simplicity. That
digest.mmdf file is dated June 9th and clearly ought to have been
cleared out on any of the nightly runs between then and today but has
not. There are no errors anywhere I can find.
How can I try and track this down?

So my database is PostgreSQL-15:
```
postgres@debian12:~$ psql
psql (15.3 (Debian 15.3-0+deb12u1))
Type "help" for help.
postgres=#
```
Below is the output of `mailman info` which for some reason I forgot to
attach in the initial post. Maybe it contains something useful?
```

I had a dump of the old installation actually - both databases.
The above has actually helped and I obtained the archive.

That's exactly how I did it and got the archives.

I tested the above out of curiosity. It failed. There are 9 lists in the
setup, but I am only interested in 1.

Was I supposed to substitute something for the real listname of the list I
wanted?
Another thing - totally unrelated - that surprised me:
While using the commented-out block below, I could not click and get
anything beyond http://http://list.name/mailman3 as anything to do with
/postorius/xxxxx gave "Page not found" error.
However, with the second config block that uses the UNIX socket, I am able
to access everything
```

ProxyPass / unix:/opt/mailman/mm/var/uwsgi.sock|uwsgi://localhost/
ProxyPassReverse / unix:/opt/mailman/mm/var/uwsgi.sock|uwsgi://localhost/

Why is it that the UNIX socket option worked flawlessly while the other
option failed???
