Upgrade commands under Docker
by Seth Seeger Oct. 28, 2021

Oct. 28, 2021

Another docker upgrade question... according to the upgrade docs https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/upgrade-3.2.html#post-upgrade you are supposed to stop the web service and run a series of commands (compress/collectstatic/etc). How do you stop the service under Docker? If I stop the container, then I cannot access the manage.py command. Thanks, Seth

How to change rest APi password
by bob B Oct. 28, 2021

Oct. 28, 2021

This is probably s stupid question but I have been searching for an answer. How do you set a different rest api password? The instructions say : The credentials are set in the [webservice] section of the configuration using the admin_user and admin_pass properties. But what is that referring to? I am running docker, so is this in the docker.yaml file (I tried it there it did not work) or in the Django config file or someplace else?

list admin via email
by Christian Stalberg Oct. 28, 2021

Oct. 28, 2021

I'm unclear on how to approve via email a message sent to a list. As list owner you receive a 'requires approval' email. It then says: "If you reply to this message, keeping the Subject: header intact, Mailman will discard the held message. Do this if the message is spam. If you reply to this message and include an Approved: header with the list password in it, the message will be approved for posting to the list. The Approved: header can also appear in the first line of the body of the reply." Question: if I want to approve the message, where do I "...include an Approved: header with the list password in it" ? TY!

Mailman import of 2000 lists
by dancab＠caltech.edu Oct. 27, 2021

Oct. 27, 2021

I'm working on importing nearly 2000 lists and have been doing some testing prior to migrating from Mailman2. I'm using the mailman create command via for loop. It takes quite a while to do all the work including updating MySQL and re-generating the LMTP files for each list. As the number of lists increases the process gets slower. Do you have any recommendations for speeding up this process? I am running the system in AWS using EFS for storage of the LMTP files. Thanks! -- Dan Caballero Caltech

Docker container issues.
by Mark Sapiro Oct. 26, 2021

Oct. 26, 2021

There have been a few recent requests for help with the Mailman Docker container images. These are packaged by Abhilash and I have no experience with Docker at all. The doc at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/docker.html points to detailed docs at https://asynchronous.in/docker-mailman/ and suggest that issues should be reported on GitHub https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/issues where Abhilash will respond as he can. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Re: uncaught bounce messages

Putting back on the list.

Thank you. I tested that DSN with current flufl.bounce and it is recognized as a temp failure for the reported address and that in turn should just be ignored by Mailman's bounce runner and not reported as unrecognized. What version of Mailman core is this and what version of flufl.bounce? -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Struggle on upgrading mailman3-web to new version - Not Found: /mailman//
by Stefan Bauer Oct. 26, 2021

Oct. 26, 2021

Dear Users, I recently upraded mailman3 from Ubuntu 18 to 20. After accessing the web-interface via https://my.mailinglistserver.local/mailman3/postorius/lists/ I receive Not Found: /mailman//postorius/lists/ [pid: 1346851|app: 0|req: 4/4] 10.254.253.12 () {70 vars in 1369 bytes} [Mon Oct 25 10:39:59 2021] GET /mailman3/postorius/lists/ => generated 2821 bytes in 12 msecs (HTTP/1.1 404) 5 headers in 155 bytes (1 switches on core 1) Where does the wrong path come from (mailman vs. mailman3) After enabling Debug, i see in the browser the following: Page not found (404) Request Method: GET Request URL: https://my.mailinglistserver.local/mailman//postorius/lists/ Using the URLconf defined in urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order: ^$ ^postorius/ ^hyperkitty/ ^user-profile/delete$ [name='mm_user_account_delete'] ^user-profile/$ [name='mm_user_profile'] ^accounts/ ^admin/ The current path, /postorius/lists/, didn't match any of these. You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a standard 404 page. My apache configuration is very simply: # more /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/mailman3.conf Alias /mailman3/favicon.ico /var/lib/mailman3/web/static/postorius/img/favicon.ico Alias /mailman3/static /var/lib/mailman3/web/static <Directory "/var/lib/mailman3/web/static"> Require all granted </Directory> <IfModule mod_proxy_uwsgi.c> ProxyPass /mailman3/favicon.ico ! ProxyPass /mailman3/static ! ProxyPass /mailman3 unix:/run/mailman3-web/uwsgi.sock|uwsgi://localhost/ </IfModule> I dont see where the path gets traversed in the wrong way. Any help is greatly appreciated. thank you. Stefan

equivalent mailman 3 commands from 2.0
by bob B Oct. 25, 2021

Oct. 25, 2021

For my 2.0 environment, I have scripts to dump list info, but i can't find the equivalent in mailman 3, for some commands, for example I use: /usr/lib/mailman/bin/list_lists which equates in mailman3 to "mailman lists" /usr/lib/mailman/bin/list_members which equates in mailman3 to "mailman members [listname]" But I also use /usr/lib/mailman/bin/list_admins [listname] /usr/lib/mailman/bin/config_list [listname] Are there equivalent command line commands to get this info in mailman3? The mailman3 "mailman withlist [listname]" takes me into an interactive prompt not sure where to go from there. I can use the API curl --user [ADMIN]:[password] http://[IP]]/3.1/lists/[listname]/config | python3 -m json.tool But just curious if there is a command line equivalent like in mailman2?

Mailman and Exim 4.94.2 (Debian Bullseye)
by Andrew Hodgson Oct. 25, 2021

Oct. 25, 2021

Hi. I moved Mailman instance to a machine running Debian Bullseye last week. Ran into an issue with the Exim transport from this doc: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/mta.h… The issue I ran into was that Exim wasn't able to resolve localhost in order to connect to the LMTP listener. I changed VPS provider at the same time (moved from Bytemark to Gandi) so not sure if they were doing anything different with DNS, but by default Exim doesn't use standard libraries to lookup hosts: https://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-the_dnslookup_… I solved the issue by using the following configuration on the Mailman router: # /etc/exim4/conf.d/transport/55_mm3_transport mailman3_transport: driver = smtp protocol = lmtp allow_localhost gethostbyname hosts = localhost port = MM3_LMTP_PORT rcpt_include_affixes = true I haven't defined the lmtp settings at all in mailman.cfg meaning they are using the default settings of 127.0.0.1:8024. Is this the best modification to make to the Exim config or should I go an alternative route? Thanks. Andrew.
