How can I allow members of list A to post to List B and vice versa
by mario.mailman3＠frese.online Nov. 19, 2020

Nov. 19, 2020

Hi, I am trying to setup Mailman3 for our school. There I have several groups (teachers, parents) that have their own mailling lists. But it also should be possible that the parents can sent mails to the teachers list and vice versa. The manual management via the non-members list will be very inconvenient and the command-line options that I saw so far do not include the import of non-members (mailman syncmembers and mailman addmembers). The best option I would like to have is to enter the name of List A in the non-members of List B an vice versa. All those nonmembers should not need to be moderated. How can I manage this? I would be very glad for your ideas. Best Mario

Customising hyperkitty and postorius
by peter＠chubb.wattle.id.au Nov. 19, 2020

Nov. 19, 2020

Hi, I've put up a mailman3 instance, with hyperkitty enabled, and imported all my mailman2.1 archives -- it all seems to be working. How do I now customise the look and feel of my site? In particular, I'd like to render archived emails with a monospace font, and I'd like to change the colour scheme and styles of all the pages to match other pages on the same website. Peter C

Dealing with confirmation requests for unsubscribes
by Brian Carpenter Nov. 18, 2020

Nov. 18, 2020

Hello List, I ran into the following issue for some mailman 3 lists that I am hosting: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/768 Since there is no way for a list owner to deal with a moderation request for an unsubscription task, I assume I need to do something via the command line. This is where I need some help with. How do I deal with these moderation requests that are unable to be reviewed in an admin gui (Postorius/Affinity)? I do recommend removing such choices for Postorius for Member policy. I will be doing this for Affinity until issue 768 is resolved. Thanks! -- Brian Carpenter Harmonylists.com Emwd.com

Hi, today I had the following error in my inbox: KeyError: 'subject_prefix' AttributeError: 'MailingList' object has no attribute 'subject_prefix' I checked the database, there is a column "subject_prefix", so I feel it is something in the code causing the error.

Templates

Hello good people, So today I decided that I should be looking at MM3 to see how far it can take me. I started from the templates and created one for a footer for non-digest messages. When I sent a test mail to the list I am using for testing, the following errors popped up: --- Logging error --- Traceback (most recent call last): File

MIMEDefang to fix footers
by Ryan Morash Nov. 15, 2020

Nov. 15, 2020

Does anyone know how to use MIMEDefang to fix the footer as attachment issue when using Mailman3? I've seen several guides/scripts referring to its use with Mailman2, but I'm unsure of how they would match with Mailman 3. Other ways of fixing this issue are also welcome.

Hello Everyone, There was a message sent to a list that could not be archived by Hyperkitty for the following reason: WARNING 2020-11-03 17:20:54,507 800 hyperkitty.views.mailman Could not archive the email with message-id '<67BEBD75-B3DC-45E3-9C2F-55482F811238(a)ispdomain.com>': A string literal cannot contain NUL (0x00) characters. It looks like there was a problem with the email message itself. What causes such an error? Thank you for any insight. -- Brian Carpenter Harmonylists.com Emwd.com

digest summary heavily cluttered with hrml code
by Mohsen Masoudfar Nov. 11, 2020

Nov. 11, 2020

Hi, I am running Mailman 3.1.1 on Ubuntu 18.04. The user complains that the digest summary is cluttered with HTML code. I thought, I may fix it by: Members > {user} > Member options > Delivery mode set to [Plain Text Digest]. After setting the value and clicking [save changes], I tried to check the value by getting back to Members setting for the user, it shows the value as "Regular", which was the value before I tried to update it. Question 1: How may I be sure that the value is set, if it is set? Question 2: How may set it for all members of the list? Question 3: Is there a CLI way to do this? I tried "mailman members " command. But it seems not supporting this option. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks Mohsen

members list in Postorius

Hi, Where can I display the members list of a mailing list please? The setting of "Members List Visibility" is "Only mailing list members". So I guess that a member should be able to see the members list somewhere... I'm using Postorius 1.3.3 and Mailman 3.3.1. TIA for any help, -- Peter
