It seems like there may by some issue causing Mailman's outgoing runner to die. What's in Mailman's var/queue/shunt/ and Mailman's var/logs/mailman.log. Good point. Mailman3 needs a great deal more RAM than Mailman2, especially if you’re running the web and core on the same machine. I used to comfortably run my small mailing list server on a 1GB VM, but on Mailman3 I found it often ran out of memory and bits of mailman3 would get shot by the kernel’s OOM killer, and had to move to a larger VM. So I’d check your kernel logs and see if you’ve got OOM messages in there. Tim

[MM3-users] GSoC task: shell completions for the 'mailman' utility was: Is there a bin/find_member in MM3

by Stephen J. Turnbull

Mark Sapiro writes: > mailman findmember -h > Usage: mailman findmember [OPTIONS] PATTERN IWBNI we had shell completions for bash and zsh at least. I've been out of it, should have got to this sooner, but GSoC org applications are open until Feb 3, so I'll try to rustle one up. If anybody is willing to serve as backup org admin and second mentor, please let me know. Qualifications: org admin fills out GSoC paperwork 2-3 times a season, keeps track of mentor-student relations, and usually serves as a mentor. Note: Mailman has never called on a backup org admin in 10+ seasons of GSoC. Mostly second mentors just read email a couple times a week and comment when they have something to contribute. No real Python-specific skills required, mostly hand-holding and occasionally pumping the brakes on hair-brained deviations from proposed work, and I guess you'd be uncomfortable if you're not comfortable with at least one high level language. Python is often characterized as "executable pseudo-code": it's easy to learn enough to mentor. Deep knowledge of Mailman is not needed for most projects (the bash completions project above is an example where zero knowledge is needed). Typically they add a feature, sometimes independent of Mailman internals, instead hooking into a well-defined API. Obviously Python skills are useful, and most projects will interface with Mailman code. However, it's not uncommon that I've learned Python skills during GSoC, mostly from studying the Mailman code (Barry is not known as the Friendly Language Uncle for Life aka FLUFL for nothing, you know), but often from the student. So it's a learning opportunity for most mentors.

It definitely would help if you paste the diff of the settings required. Also, can you jump into a django shell and see if you can get any exceptions trying to send emails: $ python manage.py shell >>> from django.core.mail import send_mail >>> send_mail( 'Subject here', 'Here is the message.', 'from(a)example.com', ['to(a)example.com'], fail_silently=False, ) I picked it up from the Django's docs and perhaps fail_silently=False would give some exceptions.

IMHO you shouldn't use USE_SSL at all. It just redirects to ssl pages on certain urls in hyperkitty. What you should be doing is having your webserver (nginx, apache, ...) redirect all trafic from http to https. I'm doing this and have the following settings: # django settings USE_SSL = False # Put external IP in this tuple MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_FROM = ('x.x.x.x', '127.0.0.1', '::1') # hyperkitty archiver plugin # this is the url to the base page of hyperkitty # in your case this would be # base_url: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/ base_url: https://example.com/hyperkitty/ It's working like a charm with no errors at all
