Python backtrace from `mailman -h`
by Peter Chubb Aug. 25, 2025

Aug. 25, 2025

Hi Folks, I'm running the Debian-packaged mailman3 (yes I know ...) and running: sudo -u list mailman -h gives a python backtrace (which I've appended the tail end of). Can someone who has the upstream installed version (using venv) please check that `mailman -h` works there before I waste too much time investigating in the wrong places? ...

Why are moderation mails sent to list moderator (if there are any) _and_ then also to the list owner?
by Wikinaut Aug. 24, 2025

Aug. 24, 2025

Dear all, I am quity puzzled to receive a bunch of mails which are moderators works - I just set up one person as a list moderator - but I do receive the moderation request as well. How can this be stopped? I just tested the behaviour and I can't see any switch in the list settings (at the moment) to avoid sending moderations to the owner for such lists, where moderator(s) are defined. A Bug?

[Bug] Someone not a member of list is treated as member - strange
by Wikinaut Aug. 24, 2025

Aug. 24, 2025

In my list test I have my address1 as member (only this one member). I definitely send a mail from my address2[sic] to ml test. The list settings are: 1. accept mails from members (address2 is not a member) 2. discard mails from non-members (address2 is not a member of ml test) When sending from address2, my mail is accepted. When I, for sake of completeness switch 1. to moderate mails from member[sic], my mail from address2 gets moderated. Please explain. It looks like a bug. I double-checked the field "accept from non-members" to be empty, yes, is empty, where I otherwise add all members by adding the internal ml whitelist in form of the entry @whitelist@mydomain.com .

Missing Base64 encoding from control message reply

Aug. 22, 2025

Dear all, I have a setup with GNU Mailman 3.3.8 where a user tried to subscribe. When replying to the "confirm" message, the user received a completely garbled response, like so: N�z˥��ʋ�zf��&��j��u�[zZ0:��v��,j�z֢��k�e�0 4Dҹ��r�^b��r�ߊ��*'��yם��{ax�L�X��0:��v��,j�z֢��k�d�m�-��zz�rn��l]y+��-E�( �^N��'��M��tۯ��Mz��^i��׮��}�o�\ӷ��6sN�zf��ݮ��r��z˥��b�{h��݉��f�r�ne== (The line above contains numerous unprintable characters, etc.) The user then forwarded the .eml file to me, which clearly shows the contents of the mail as plain text while being announced as base64 (Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64): START OF EML Return-Path: <LISTNAME-bounces(a)lists.DOMAIN.COM> Received: from DOMAIN.COM ([144.76.173.241]) by mx-ha.USERDOMAIN.NET (mx06 [IP]) with ESMTPS (Nemesis) id 1M27WV-1qhRFk39Sr-00AQcR for <USER(a)USERDOMAIN.NET>; Thu, 21 Sep 2023 19:10:37 +0200 Received: from localhost (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by DOMAIN.COM (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4058B3BD5EEF for <USER(a)USERDOMAIN.NET>; Thu, 21 Sep 2023 19:10:37 +0200 (CEST) Received: from DOMAIN.COM ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (DOMAIN.COM [127.0.0.1]) (amavis, port 10024) with ESMTP id x0ngnlRnGraH for <USER(a)USERDOMAIN.NET>; Thu, 21 Sep 2023 19:10:37 +0200 (CEST) Received: from [IP] (unknown [IP]) by DOMAIN.COM (Postfix) with ESMTP id DC8603BD5EEE for <USER(a)USERDOMAIN.NET>; Thu, 21 Sep 2023 19:10:36 +0200 (CEST) Subject: =?utf-8?q?The_results_of_your_email_commands?= From: LISTNAME-bounces(a)lists.DOMAIN.COM To: USER(a)USERDOMAIN.NET Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Message-ID: <169531623416.29.5762261018677554285@mailman-core> Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2023 17:10:34 +0000 Precedence: bulk X-Mailman-Version: 3.3.8 List-Id: <LISTNAME.lists.DOMAIN.COM> List-Help: <mailto:LISTNAME-request@lists.DOMAIN.COM?subject=help> List-Owner: <mailto:LISTNAME-owner@lists.DOMAIN.COM> List-Subscribe: <mailto:LISTNAME-join@lists.DOMAIN.COM> List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:LISTNAME-leave@lists.DOMAIN.COM> Envelope-To: <USER(a)USERDOMAIN.NET> X-Spam-Flag: NO The results of your email command are provided below. - Original message details: From: USER <USER(a)USERDOMAIN.NET> Subject: Re: Your confirmation is needed to join the LISTNAME(a)lists.DOMAIN.COM mailing list.

particular list member seems unmanageable from CLI
by Stephan Aug. 22, 2025

Aug. 22, 2025

We have a list member that got disabled due to bounces, but that should be fixed after we implemented DMARC and SPF. So as I don't know how to access the disabled status from the CLI (we have no GUI), I tried to delete and re-subscribe them. But although they are listed as a member, they cannot be deleted: # sudo -u list mailman members list(a)domain.tld | grep "$x" M... <M....@web...> # sudo -u list mailman delmembers -m "$x" -l list(a)domain.tld Member not subscribed (skipping): M... <M....@web...> How can I fix this from the command line? Either by restoring their "disabled" status, or deleting and re-subscribing them?

Xapian error on RHEL9 - module 'xapian' has no attribute 'QueryParser'
by l.reilly＠ucl.ac.uk Aug. 21, 2025

Aug. 21, 2025

Hi, I'm trying to set up Mailman 3 on a RHEL9 (unfortunately Debian/Ubuntu aren't options) and have been making some progress, but I'm having trouble getting Xapian to work. I first tried to install it using Method 1 (https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#set-up-xapian) however, xapian_wheel_builder.sh seems to just exit right as it starts "preparing xapian wheel...". I ended up installing Xapian 1.4.29 from source and symlinking xapian in the venv as per Method 2. When trying to search the archives the error below is generated. Has anyone else encountered this before? Thanks. ################################################################################# Internal Server Error: /archives/search AttributeError at /archives/search module 'xapian' has no attribute

cron error - /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web runjobs daily

I wonder what this means and whether it's fatal. How do I fix it? ``` ERROR OCCURED IN JOB: sync_mailman (APP: hyperkitty) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/django_extensions/management/commands/runjobs.py", line 51, in runjobs job().execute() File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/hyperkitty/jobs/sync_mailman.py", line 36, in execute sync_with_mailman() File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/hyperkitty/lib/mailman.py", line 178, in sync_with_mailman mlist.update_from_mailman() File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/hyperkitty/models/mailinglist.py", line 226, in update_from_mailman self._update_owner_mods_from_mailman(mm_list) File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/hyperkitty/models/mailinglist.py", line 231, in _update_owner_mods_from_mailman user = get_django_user(owner) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/django_mailman3/lib/user.py", line 30, in get_django_user email_addr = EmailAddress.objects.get(email=member.address.email) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/django/db/models/manager.py", line 87, in manager_method return getattr(self.get_queryset(), name)(*args, **kwargs) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/django/db/models/query.py", line 640, in get raise self.model.MultipleObjectsReturned( *allauth.account.models.EmailAddress.MultipleObjectsReturned: get() returned more than one EmailAddress -- it returned 2!* ``` I suspect it's something to do with my action yesterday while attempting to reply to a thread from HyperKitty.
