When I look into the log, first the smtpd receives the message from my mail client. Then the email is queued. And then the smtp initiates a TLS layer to send it to the smtpd on the same machine. For my understanding this cannot be correct. The smtpd at first should hand it to mailman and not relay it to itself. Is that correct?

Now I can add users, get receive mails to the list, archive messages correctly, and send emails. Except... The list sends emails to local recipients fine. I have three users on my test list: fp145(a)libertyfp.org (local) billo(a)billoblog.com (not local) oliver(a)billoblog.com (not local) When I send a message to the list from *any* of these three, the mailman3 accepts it and attempts to broadcast it out. It is delivered sucessfully to the local email address, but it looks like there's a relaying problem with external addresses. In the syslog snippet below, note that the fp145(a)libertyfp.org mail is delivered, but the mail to the recipients at billoblog.com get an "Access denied" Dec 27 15:33:25 libertyfp postfix/smtpd[419593]: connect from mail.libertyfp.org[2.56.57.28] Dec 27 15:33:25 libertyfp postfix/smtpd[419593]: DC203421BE: client=mail.libertyfp.org[2.56.57.28] Dec 27 15:33:25 libertyfp postfix/cleanup[420001]: DC203421BE: message- id=<9785b5a56581104fe079221bb947eb3a03813d97.camel(a)billoblog.com> Here it is getting delivered locally: Dec 27 15:33:25 libertyfp postfix/cleanup[420001]: DC203421BE: warning: header Subject: [Testlist] bbbbb from mail.libertyfp.org[2.56.57.28]; from=<testlist-bounces+fp145=libertyfp.org(a)libertyfp.org> to=<fp145(a)libertyfp.org> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail.libertyfp.org> Dec 27 15:33:25 libertyfp postfix/qmgr[418758]: DC203421BE: from=<testlist-bounces+fp145=libertyfp.org(a)libertyfp.org>, size=2651, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Dec 27 15:33:25 libertyfp postfix/virtual[420016]: DC203421BE: to=<fp145(a)libertyfp.org>, relay=virtual, delay=0.03, delays=0.01/0.01/0/0.01, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to maildir) Dec 27 15:33:25 libertyfp postfix/qmgr[418758]: DC203421BE: removed Here it is getting bounced for billo(a)billoblog.com and oliver(a)billoblog.com: Dec 27 15:33:26 libertyfp postfix/smtpd[419593]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail.libertyfp.org[2.56.57.28]: 554 5.7.1 <billo(a)billoblog.com>: Recipient address rejected: Access denied; from=<testlist-bounces+billo=billoblog.com(a)libertyfp.org> to=<billo(a)billoblog.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail.libertyfp.org> Dec 27 15:33:26 libertyfp postfix/smtpd[419593]: disconnect from mail.libertyfp.org[2.56.57.28] ehlo=1 mail=2 rcpt=1/2 data=1 rset=1 quit=1 commands=7/8 Dec 27 15:33:26 libertyfp postfix/smtpd[419593]: connect from mail.libertyfp.org[2.56.57.28] Dec 27 15:33:26 libertyfp postfix/smtpd[419593]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail.libertyfp.org[2.56.57.28]: 554 5.7.1 <oliver(a)billoblog.com>: Recipient address rejected: Access denied; from=<testlist-bounces+oliver=billoblog.com(a)libertyfp.org> to=<oliver(a)billoblog.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail.libertyfp.org> This error occurs whether the account posting to the list is in the libertyfp.org domain or billoblog.com domain.

Respectively, I think you are asking the wrong question here. The real question is why isn't a display_name being removed when a list subscriber is unsubscribed. Also list members being forced into a powerless role by Mailman 3's architecture have no way of changing a name except through a list owner unless they register an account but then again, *even that doesn't allow them to change their display name*. There are also other use cases in which a list owner will want to identify portions of their membership roster through the use of the display_name. Most list members interact with a Mailing list program via email. I know you understand that. However it is List owners that are the "real" power users of Mailman and so the admin interface should be designed in such a way that empowers List owners. Taking the ability away from List owners (and List members to make), what should be a simple name change, weakens them. > And in any case, I'm only one person.

Again I think we are missing something here from this conversation: data is not being removed. A list subscriber being removed (unsubscribed) should have their information totally removed. It is not. I now have one list owner who realizes this and it is not good. How does this not violate GDPR? This is why I think all the mailman developers ought to make this issue a high priority. It is creepy to see a name returned out of nowhere when someone resubscribes to a list without associating a name with a second resubscribing. I think this puts List owners at a disadvantage. > > Mailman 3 is totally different from Mailman 2.1 in this respect. Mailman > 2.1 had no concept of user.

I think this should still be the case for non-registered list members. List owners/moderators are different. They HAVE to be registered users of Postorius/Affinity in order to manage/moderate a list. I wonder what the majority of list members' scenarios are. Is the majority scenario in play today the one where most list members are only subscribed to a single list on a single mailman instance? Or is it the scenario that is in majority use the one where a single list member is subscribed to multiple lists? I think that it is important to find out because it should govern the development process to a certain degree. This single approach of having registered user account with multiple associated email accounts elevates one scenario at the expense of the other. It also assumes/requires that list members have a registered user account and I can tell you from my experience that is not going to happen. The majority of mailman 2 users will not registered with a Mailman 3 admin interface. Some will of course, the majority will not. Maybe the behavior should and will change but it will take years for that to happen. So what I am challenging and questioning here is the approach where such assumptions are being made already that results in the weakening of list owners. > > Mailman 3 does have a concept of user and addresses belonging to a user. > This complicates things in some ways.

Perhaps there is a better approach here to handle single member w/multiple subscriptions that doesn't hurt the ability of List owners to serve the needs of list members who do not have a registered user account and prevents the removal of data when a SINGLE user unsubscribes from a list. > > You don't seem to be concerned about the case where I subscribe to a > second list with a different display name and am surprised to find my > display name changed on the first list, but it's something that I have > to consider. I am not concerned because I think such cases are in the extreme minority. Are you saying that people are now going to be using different real names associated with their other subscriptions as well and that is going to be so needed it warrants this complex system that you have come up with? If someone whats to have a different name associated with a different subscription/email address then I am going to tell them create a new user account and use a good password management program to keep track of their logins. Right now I think this minority use case scenario is negatively impacting other administrative tasks of Mailman, particularly in the removal of user data when someone unsubscribes from a list. Its the use of a square peg being forced into a round hole. Except in this case most of the holes are round but by golly, we are going to use that square peg regardless! > > As far as filing or not filing an issue, issues in the GitLab trackers > are how we track these things.

I will but what is disturbing is that you don't think that the non-removal of user data in cases of unsubscribing is not important or even an issue. -- Brian Carpenter Harmonylists.com Emwd.com

Reading the mailman-web source code I understand now that the mailman account is retrieved from the Django account email address. Then both users are tied to the same old mailman admin account, and deleting then registering them again won't change anything on this aspect. Would this work? 1- For both addresses, update their record in table 'address' to set 'user_id' to null 2- On their next login to Mailman-web, a new mailman account would be created and associated with their own email address. Is my understanding correct? _g.

But it's not > good. Well, Mark got it what I was meaning. Maybe my explanation was not precise enough. Hopefully an update is not overwriting settings_local.py in any case. Is it part of delivery and then changed afterwards? Haven't checked that yet. I personally like the way other services are importing custom settings by including all config files from a given directory. Maybe it is not worth for mailman cause custom settings will not grow very big - so no need to split it in tiny files. > > > The way around this is to remove the import of settings_local from > > settings.py and then put > > > > from settings import * > > > > at the beginning of settings_local.py and then point Django at > > settings_local rather than settings. > > I don't understand the ramifications of making this change (presumably > Barry or somebody had a reason for the change from Mailman 2's > method), but at first glance it looks like a big step in the right > direction. > > > Then you can do things like > > > > try: > > INSTALLED_APPS.remove('allauth.socialaccount.providers.google') > > except ValueError: > > pass > > > > in settings_local.py except there are still issues because, e.g., > > INSTALLED_APPS is defined as a tuple (immutable) and not a list in > > settings.py. > > Given the concerns of privacy advocates, I would say that it would be > better to have a separate > > AUTH_PROVIDERS = ['allauth.socialaccount.providers.google', ...] > > in settings_local.py, and merge that in to INSTALLED_APPS.

Thank you! This all makes sense, but uwsgi logged the following error after applying the changes above: > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/core/handlers/wsgi.py", line 130, in __call__ > request = self.request_class(environ) > File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/core/handlers/wsgi.py", line 78, in __init__ > self.method = environ["REQUEST_METHOD"].upper() > KeyError: 'REQUEST_METHOD' > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/core/handlers/wsgi.py", line 130, in __call__ > request = self.request_class(environ) > File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/core/handlers/wsgi.py", line 78, in __init__ > self.method = environ["REQUEST_METHOD"].upper() > KeyError: 'REQUEST_METHOD' So I checked my local Django configuration and found an include directive in mysite_nginx.conf (include /etc/nginx/uwsgi_params;) where the referenced file uwsgi_params contained the following: > uwsgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string; > uwsgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method; > uwsgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type; > uwsgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length; > > uwsgi_param REQUEST_URI $request_uri; > uwsgi_param PATH_INFO $document_uri; > uwsgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $document_root; > uwsgi_param SERVER_PROTOCOL $server_protocol; > uwsgi_param REQUEST_SCHEME $scheme; > uwsgi_param HTTPS $https if_not_empty; > > uwsgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr; > uwsgi_param REMOTE_PORT $remote_port; > uwsgi_param SERVER_PORT $server_port; > uwsgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name; Replicating this setup on the server solved the KeyError problem, everything works now! I just wonder why these uwsgi parameters need to be passed explicitly when using a file socket, but not with a http socket. Another (unrelated) question: Why is mailman_hyperkitty.cfg placed in /opt/mailman/mm and not in /etc/mailman3 with the other configuration files when using the virtualenv installation instructions (https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#virtualenv-inst… Thanks again for all your help (and patience)! - Jan

[MM3-users] Re: Digests not working correctly

by Joel Lord

The May 4th digest that went out was _also_ size-triggered, so this may have nothing to do with periodic digests at all, and possibly my periodic digests aren't working. I'm not on any of my own lists in digest mode, I'm slowly extracting diagnostic information out of people who are. Also, since this is a ~2 month cycle, it's really difficult to get data points to work with. I'll need to remember to go in and look when this settles down again (new cycle of activity started last night) to see if there's anything left pending.

I think I did something like this in the recent past. I need to remember how I went about it though, but it could be something like: (Assuming a virtualenv install) I believe you could: 1. Make a full backup of the old MM2 install - I mean the DB and the MM3 files. 2. update the install to the latest version corresponding to the one on the new server. 3. Delete all lists with their archives EXCEPT that one list you want to migrate. 4. Export the DB(s) 6. !! Backup the DBs on the new server (just in case something bad happens!! 7. Import the DB dumps from the old server into the new one.

I've done some testing as follows: - Created a test list - Migrated the existing list in question from its mm21 config.pck to the test list - Changed the display name to avoid confusion :-) - Checked moderator settings for the list: - Default action to take when a member posts to the list: Hold for moderation - Default action to take when a non-member posts to the list: Discard (no notification) - Emergency moderation: No - Accept/Hold/Reject/Discard non-members: all blank - CSV exported the 247 existing list members - Pasted all exported member addresses from the CSV into the mass removal web page, *except* for the list-owner. After doing so hoped that they didn't all get an unsubscribe mail. Given that "Send goodbye message" was set to yes, I suspect I did. :-\ - Confirmed List members only had the list owner - Added a first new test user (me) via mass subscribe, ticked Pre confirm, Pre approved, Pre verified. Received welcome email - Confirmed List members; list owner "Hold for moderation", test user "None" - Added a second new test user (me with a second email address) via mass subscribe with same settings as above. Received welcome email - Modified second test user to "Hold for moderation" in Members list. Noted the Moderation was set to "List default" before changing it to "Hold for moderation" - Sent an email from test user 1 to the list - Sent an email from test user 2 to the list - Sent an email from a third email address that isn't on the list - Looked at Held messages: - test user 1 email was held for moderation in Web UI. User 1 received an email indicating as such. - test user 2 email was held for moderation in Web UI. User 2 received an email indicating as such. - non-member email was neither held for moderation, nor sent to the list. > If that is true, I can only think that at the time of that post, > settings weren't as they are now. I think for now I will have to assume that's the case, until the next email can be readied against the proper list. If you hear nothing further, assume that this was all based on some random quirk (by humans or machines). I'll update if it happens again. Cheers, Mark
