Does someone have tips in how to solve the problem? Look at the log: mai 09 06:16:52 dalen.lamasti.net postfix/smtp[2174424]: 8163214C1740: to=<example(a)gmail.com>, relay=alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[142.250.157.27]:25, delay=50885, delays=50875/0.04/6.5/3.7, dsn=4.7.28, status=deferred (host alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[142.250.157.27] said: 421-4.7.28 [185.181.61.11 15] Our system has detected an unusual rate of 421-4.7.28 unsolicited mail originating from your IP address.

Replace "visit your dashboard" with URL link, like in Mailman 2.
by Mark London May 9, 2023

May 9, 2023

Has anybody attempted to change the format of the emails that are sent to the owner of a mailing list, to include a URL, instead of stating "visit your dashboard"? The former is the behavior of Mailman 2. Is there any reason why this can't be done? If nobody has tried to do so yet, I'll give it a try myself, as I'm familiar with django. Thanks. - Mark At your convenience, visit: https://.../mailman/admindb/... to approve or deny the request. The message is being held because: The message is not from a list member At your convenience, visit your dashboard to approve or deny the request.

Installed from Howto_Install_Mailman3_On_Debian10, web not quite working
by volkmar＠grote-family.com May 8, 2023

May 8, 2023

Hi, today I installed MM3 with Nginx on Debian 11 following the document with a bit of "Mailman 3 installation experience" thrown in (many thanks to the authors!) with some minor changes, i.e. no encryption, and "re_path" instead of "url". I cannot get the web interface to run. "admin" is OK, but Postorius und Hyperkitty refuse to show up with > Page not found (404) > Request Method: GET > Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/mailman3/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, mailman3/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. The error logs are all OK, the GET requests are logged without any error. My urls.py: > (venv) mailman@me:/opt/mailman/mm$ grep -v "^#" urls.py > from django.contrib import admin > from django.urls import include, reverse_lazy, re_path > from django.views.generic import RedirectView > > urlpatterns = [ > re_path(r'^$', RedirectView.as_view( > url=reverse_lazy('list_index'), > permanent=True)), > re_path(r'^postorius/', include('postorius.urls')), > re_path(r'^hyperkitty/', include('hyperkitty.urls')), > re_path(r'', include('django_mailman3.urls')), > re_path(r'^accounts/', include('allauth.urls')), > # Django admin > re_path(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls), > ] It must be something either really complex or, most likely, rather stupid. I switched from PC Assembler and C to Unix shell scripts some three decades ago, so I must admit that my Python skills are zero, my idea of the inner workings of all the packages is very vague. Any hints where I may look for installation errors? TIA Volkmar

Response for Admins only
by Michael Schaarschmidt May 8, 2023

May 8, 2023

Hello, I’m an administrator of a MM3 with a lot of lists, which are generated and maintained through the rest api. For testing reasons I am looking for a way to send a test mail with a ping to a list in MM3 from a mail address of an administrator to get a pong from the MM3 - or even better - get a response with the status of the list like number of recipients, number of mails waiting for moderation, etc. Does exist a solution for such a purpose?

templates
by Christian May 6, 2023

May 6, 2023

I'm having issues with my lists. For each list I have created a template [ list:user:action:subscribe ]which has a prospective subscriber have to consent to list rules before they are subscribed. This template I created is listed in Postorius for each list. I have noticed that there are no other templates listed in Postorius. Furthermore, there is no 'lists' subdirectory under Mailman's var/templates/. Help (please)!

Permission Denied "/opt/mailman/mm/var/archives/..."
by Peter Knowles May 6, 2023

May 6, 2023

I am writing my own archive reader script in PHP which parses the "maildir" content produced by the "prototype" archiver. When I try to access the contents from "opt/mailman/mm/var/archives/prototype/LISTNAME/new" folder I get a permission denied error. *** I'm using the "file_get_contents" PHP command to access the file. ***

Re: Python is updated
by Mark London May 6, 2023

May 6, 2023

Because of my own personal horror stories of waking up to finding high priority linux servers broken, due to nightly automated updates, I now prevent automatic updates on my servers. I only do manual security updates. In addition to implementing modern security techniques for our network. That is just my personal belief system. It's worked for the past 25 years. The only time we ever got hacked, was because of some stupid php scripts that our developers had put online, or because people's passwords had become leaked. And some of those situations were nightmares also. In two case of which, happened while I was away on vacation, and I had to fix everything remotely. But that was never due to updates. I probably shouldn't express my opinion. But I have a lot of empathy for the guy who discovered his mailman broken due to upgraded Python. Which triggered my nightmares. But it's great though to have a very responsive community here, to bring people back from the dead. - Mark

Default Setting for 'Results per Page' and other Web Pull-downs
by Dave Hall May 5, 2023

May 5, 2023

Hello. For the past several months I've been in the process of migrating from Mailman2 to Mailman3 (along with many other tasks). I've just started to use the web interface heavily as I am finally doing the full migration of all my 2.1 lists. Before I ask my question, I am currently running Debian 10 which supplies mailman-3.2.1 and mailman-web 0+20180916, which are definitely old at this point. Although I will soon move to Debian 11, I am still constrained to stick to Debian packages. So if this has been fixed or enhanced in a future version I'm sorry for asking an old question. My question: when I go to any page that has a list (of lists, of members, or archives), there are pulldowns like 'Results per page' that seem to reset to the minimum number when I refresh the page. There are others like 'Hide inactive' on the Archives page. What I'm looking for is a per-user way to customize these values so I don't have to keep on setting them to the value I prefer. If that is available in a later release then I have something to look forward to. If not, it sure would be nice to have. Thanks. -Dave -- Dave Hall Binghamton University kdhall(a)binghamton.edu

Amazon SES, Message-ID, and mailman
by Sam Darwin May 5, 2023

May 5, 2023

Hi, We are running a mailman 2 mailing list, soon to upgrade to mailman 3. We recently switch the mail gateway from mailgun to Amazon SES. There's a new problem that the mailman 2 archives are not able to group threads together the way they were before. Moreover, end users have their own mail clients that display the list messages, and they are complaining about issues in their local mail clients. It seems to be related to the mail header fields Message-ID: , References: , and In-Reply-To: . Amazon SES rewrites the Message-ID. Therefore, it won't match the original Message-ID, and so the second reply email won't matched with the first email in a web archive display. Additionally, email replies are often sent both to the list and to individual participants, and so it's important that both of these copies have the identical message id. Has anyone else used Amazon SES as a mail gateway, and did you have success with it? Does this interpretation of the problem seem reasonable? Would it make sense to briefly discuss "Amazon SES" in an FAQ section of the mailman documentation? Thanks, Sam
