Postorius 1.2.3 and MailmanClient 3.2.1 is now out
by Abhilash Raj Feb. 11, 2019

Feb. 11, 2019

Hi All, I am very pleased to announce (a bit late) that Postorius 1.2.3 and MailmanClient 3.2.1 is now out. The full set of changelog can be found in the documentation[1][2]. The most notable feature that I can think of is non-member management in Postorius. New releases are available on PyPI[3][4]. Thanks to all the contributors who made this release possible! :) [1]: https://postorius.readthedocs.io/en/latest/news.html#id2 [2]: https://mailmanclient.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailmanclient/docs/NEWS.… [3]: https://pypi.org/project/mailmanclient/ [4]: https://pypi.org/project/postorius/ -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

Audit Logs
by Enrique Terrazas Jan. 31, 2019

Jan. 31, 2019

Greetings, I’m wondering if there is an “audit log” of sorts to see who made changes to a specific list. What we’re after is a way of tracking, in case requested, who made additions or deletions of subscribers etc. I can see the DELETE commands in the ./mailman/logs/mailman.log file but it doesn’t specifically state who made the request. It can be inferred from the timestamps. I’m just wondering if there is somewhere else I should be looking for this information. Thank you, Enrique J. Terrazas

Issue with mySQLdb-module on Debian
by Bjoern Franke Jan. 24, 2019

Jan. 24, 2019

Hi, I already opened a debian bugreport for it, but I'm still wondering why the following issue appears: File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/db/backends/mysql/base.py", line 30, in <module> 'Did you install mysqlclient or MySQL-python?' % e django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named 'MySQLdb'. Did you install mysqlclient or MySQL-python? python3-pymysql, which is a dependency of mailman3-web and provides mySQLdb, is installed. (Maybe it's time to migrate to postgres.) Kind regards Bjoern

MAILMAN_HOST_IP_AUTO
by Johannes Winter Jan. 22, 2019

Jan. 22, 2019

Dear MM3 list, while doing some reboot proofing for our mailman setup, I once more ran into https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/issues/133. May it be that https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/pull/143 hasn't made it yet into the docker image maxking/mailman-web:0.2 which is the current recommended stable version? Would be real nice (for stability!) to have this feature included. Best regards, Johannes Winter

MIME Digests with posts and index inline likewise Plain Text Digests
by Henrik Rasmussen Jan. 18, 2019

Jan. 18, 2019

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand, Mailman attaches posts in a MIME Digest mail intead of inline in the digest mail itself, like Plain Text Digests does. Some mail readers like Gmail eventually displays attachments inline anyway, but readers like Outlook do not. Also the digest index seems to be posted as an attachment in MIME Digests. Would it be possible for Mailman to send both posts and index inline in the MIME digest? I am pretty sure it's not a feature yet, but if Mailman would be able to, I will submit an issue in core (I presume). /Henrik Rasmussen

Re: digests are created but not sent out

Well, the template files seem to reside in the database, not on the filesystem. So maybe there is some other issue here?

MM3 Docker
by Odhiambo Washington Jan. 11, 2019

Jan. 11, 2019

[Requesting everyone to be patient with me because I am not so good with Linux, Docker is a completely new thing to me, and MM3, well....] So, I have a VM running Ubuntu-18.04. It is in a Data Centre somewhere. It has an IP n.n.n.n (a public IP). Also, it does not have high resources. However, I hope I can at least get to install MM3 and test it using https://asynchronous.in/docker-mailman/ If I could run MM3 using the apt-get install method, perhaps that would have made my life a bit easier, hoping that MM3 can actually be run in parallel with MM2.1 on the same host. Is anyone doing that already?? Anyway, I need some hand-holding using the docker method for now. I am reading the steps as documented on the https://asynchronous.in/docker-mailman/ and somethings aren't clear to me: I have created two files: (a) /opt/mailman/web/settings_local.py: SERVE_FROM_DOMAIN: 'mm3.my.co.ke' ALLOWED_HOSTS: 'my.co.ke' HYPERKITTY_API_KEY: 'Whatever' MAILMAN_ADMIN_USER: 'admin' MAILMAN_ADMIN_EMAIL: 'odhiambo(a)gmail.com' SECRET_KEY: 'Whatever' EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' EMAIL_HOST = '172.19.199.1' EMAIL_PORT = 25 (b) /opt/mailman/core/mailman-extra.cfg HYPERKITTY_API_KEY: 'Whatever' DATABASE_URL: 'mysql+pymysql://mailman:mailmanpass@database/mailmandb' DATABASE_TYPE: 'mysql' DATABASE_CLASS: 'mailman.database.mysql.MySQLDatabase' Questions: Are the formats correct? Do I use quotes or not? My docker-compuse.yaml: version: '2' services: mailman-core: image: maxking/mailman-core:latest container_name: mailman-core hostname: mailman-core volumes: - /opt/mailman/core:/opt/mailman/ links: - database:database depends_on: - database environment: - DATABASE_URL=mysql+pymysql://mailman:mailmanpass@database/mailmandb - DATABASE_TYPE=mysql - DATABASE_CLASS=mailman.database.mysql.MySQLDatabase - HYPERKITTY_API_KEY=someapikey networks: mailman: ipv4_address: 172.19.199.2 mailman-web: image: maxking/mailman-web:latest container_name: mailman-web hostname: mailman-web depends_on: - database links: - mailman-core:mailman-core - database:database volumes: - /opt/mailman/web:/opt/mailman-web-data environment: - DATABASE_URL=mysql://mailman:mailmanpass@database/mailmandb - DATABASE_TYPE=mysql - HYPERKITTY_API_KEY=someapikey - SECRET_KEY=thisisaverysecretkey - DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib/ networks: mailman: ipv4_address: 172.19.199.3 database: environment: MYSQL_DATABASE: mailmandb MYSQL_USER: mailman MYSQL_PASSWORD: mailmanpass MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD: "yes" restart: always image: mariadb:10.3 volumes: - /opt/mailman/database:/var/lib/mysql After all that, I have run the following: wash@lists:~/docker-mailman$ docker-compose up -d Creating network "docker-mailman_mailman" with driver "bridge" Creating docker-mailman_database_1 ... done Creating mailman-core ... done Recreating 4b7bc1ecef65_mailman-web ... done Question - Should I assume everything is okay and proceed to the next steps? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft.", grep ^[^#] :-)
