Current status and issue deleting Archives in Mailman3
by bob B Nov. 3, 2021

Nov. 3, 2021

So just want to make sure I have the latest information after searching this list and googling or have I missed something? It appears there is no way in mailman3 to delete archives. There has been discussion on implementing this, but it has not been developed? is that correct? I saw references to: >>> from hyperkitty.models import MailingList >>> ml = MailingList.objects.get(name="test2(a)freeculture.org") >>> ml.delete() But how do I run this? I believe it is run in mailman-core (I am in a docker environment but that should not matter). I can get into the mailman shell, but that command does not work I did the following: bash-5.0# mailman shell Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell Use commit() to commit changes. Use abort() to discard changes since the last commit. Exit with ctrl+D does an implicit commit() but exit() does not. >>> from hyperkitty.models import MailingList Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'hyperkitty' >>> What am I missing? ************** Question 2 What about pruning archives? I use to run a script for mailman2 to prune archives of messages older than X days for a list, Is that possible in mailman3

Mailman notify generating emails for request that aren't visible.
by Simon Coggins Nov. 2, 2021

Hi, We’re running mailman 3.3.4 (about to upgrade to 3.3.5 this week). I enabled mailman notify cron a few weeks ago to email out any pending requests for admins. I’ve now got multiple lists that keep emailing out the same outstanding holds but they can’t visible in the GUI. The requests are all duplicates as well. This is a redacted example email: -----Original Message----- From: mailman-alerts(a)example.com<mailto:mailman-alerts@example.com> Sent: Monday, 1 November 2021 8:10 AM To: somelist-owner(a)lists.example.com<mailto:somelist-owner@lists.example.com> Subject: The somelist(a)lists.example.com<mailto:somelist@lists.example.com> list has 4 moderation requests waiting. The somelist(a)lists.example.com<mailto:somelist@lists.example.com> list has 4 moderation requests waiting. Held Unsubscriptions: User: john.smith(a)maildomain.com<mailto:john.smith@maildomain.com> User: john.smith(a)maildomain.com<mailto:john.smith@maildomain.com> User: john.smith(a)maildomain.com<mailto:john.smith@maildomain.com> User: john.smith(a)maildomain.com<mailto:john.smith@maildomain.com> Please attend to this at your earliest convenience. I have multiple lists sending the same email (with the same user repeated 4 times). Where should I be looking in the internals of mailman to try and work out why this user has hidden unsubscription holds? -Simon --- [https://www.cqu.edu.au/] Mr Simon Coggins Principal Systems Engineer | Digital Services Directorate CQUniversity Australia, Level 6.14, 160 Ann Street, Brisbane, QLD 4000 P +61 7 3295 1182 | X 51182 | M +61 408 115 861 | E s.coggins(a)cqu.edu.au<mailto:s.coggins@cqu.edu.au> [https://www.cqu.edu.au/social-media] I respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and learn, and pay respect to the First Nations Peoples and their Elders, past, present and future.

Question about Digest mode
by Terry Earley Nov. 2, 2021

Nov. 2, 2021

We upgraded to MM3 from MM2 this past Summer. A number of our users are asking if they cannot still get digests delivered once per day instead of being delivered when the accumulated posts reach a specified size. Is there a way to set digests to go out once per day? Terry Earley FitEyes.com

HyperKitty archiver <h1>Server Error (500</h1>
by Daniel Erlendson Nov. 1, 2021

Nov. 1, 2021

Hello all, I'm getting the following in the logs in our MM server: Nov 01 14:00:17 2021 (26843) HyperKitty failure on http://localhost/mailman3/hyperkitty/api/mailman/archive: <h1>Server Error (500)</h1> (500) Nov 01 14:00:17 2021 (26843) Exception in the HyperKitty archiver: <h1>Server Error (500)</h1> Nov 01 14:00:17 2021 (26843) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman_hyperkitty/__init__.py", line 154, in _archive_message url = self._send_message(mlist, msg) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman_hyperkitty/__init__.py", line 210, in _send_message raise ValueError(result.text) ValueError: <h1>Server Error (500)</h1> which is mirrored in the mailman-web.log with this 21:57:07 [Q] INFO Enqueued 1962530 21:57:08 [Q] INFO Process-1:36 processing [sender_mailman_id] 21:57:08 [Q] INFO Processed [sender_mailman_id] ERROR 2021-11-01 21:57:07,969 17847 django.request Internal Server Error: /mailman3/hyperkitty/api/mailman/archive Traceback (most recent call last): plus a bunch of python errors and this: ValueError: A string literal cannot contain NUL (0x00) characters. ERROR 2021-11-01 21:57:07,969 17847 django.request Internal Server Error: /mailman3/hyperkitty/api/mailman/archive Traceback (most recent call last): We are on v3.1 on Ubuntu 18.04. I do have a project beginning to move to Ubuntu 20.04 eventually. For now, I'm struggling to find the resolution to this error. I've looked at the site here, did a rebuild on the whoosh index, I've found and tested the suggestions to add a localhost non-https in apache for HyperKitty, I've edited HyperKitty to be https rather than HTTP, none of these settings / changes seem to resolve the issue. Oddly for all intents and purposes, the server appears to run fine, the archive might be a bit slow but it doesn't seem to have issues other than the constant errors coming into the admin emails. Happy to post any configs or detail anything, appreciate any replies. Respectfully,
