Mailman3 virtualenv installation: missing data
by qno-mailman＠qno.de Sept. 5, 2025

Sept. 5, 2025

Hi all, i tried to install Mailman3 according to https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#virtualenv-inst…. I’m using Mariadb instead of PostgreSQL, but that is no problem until now. Where i fail: I have to make an entry var_dir: /opt/mailman/mm/var in /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg. But there is no directory /opt/mailman/mm, and there are no subdirectories. No $var_dir, no postfix_lmtp, no postfix_transports. Where do i get those files from? TIA QNo

Question: as Admin, I disabled the self-registration via settings.py. What is the correct method to register a few new users now?
by Wikinaut Sept. 2, 2025

Sept. 2, 2025

Disabled by line ACCOUNT_ADAPTER = 'django_mailman3.views.user_adapter.DisableSignupAdapter' (via https://gitlab.com/mailman/django-mailman3/-/merge_requests/129 ) When I want to register a few new users, I need to comment this line and restart mailmanweb. Question: is there a better method for admins to register a few new persons to Hyperkitty/Postorius so that they can act as owners and moderators of some of the lists?

Mailing lists as the main collaboration centre at SME
by Rodrigo Camacho Aug. 31, 2025

Aug. 31, 2025

Hello all, I own and run a small company (lanao.org) I am looking for companies which have put mailing lists not only as a form of general announcement but especially as the main way to collaborate. I am thinking of moving my team to a model like that and would love to read about some best practices or strong opposition to the idea. I am hopeful that out there there are companies which have resisted the Microsoft Teams virus. If your company uses mailing lists to run, please reach out. We are currently using Gitlab issues to collaborate which has been quite successful. I would be very interested to trade tips. Best wishes, Rodrigo

Stalwart plugin

Aug. 30, 2025

Hi all, I'm just reviewing Stalwart as a many-in-one mailing system. Did anybody yet succeed in plugging mailman into stalwart (the incoming bit seems to be difficult)?

New subscribed (by invitation) user: no password received in invitation/welcome e-mail. Postorius sign up / password reset broken
by ^m'e Aug. 30, 2025

Aug. 30, 2025

Hi there, I migrated form MM2.1 to MM3.3.10 on Debian Trixie (mariadb backend) -- I know that's a bit unorthodox to ask here for help on a non venv-based installation, but hopefully I'll first gain a bit of insight of MM3 in order to formulate a more precise request to Debian maintainers. ## Issue #1. A newly invited (from Postorius mass subscription page) and confirmed user doesn't get any password in their invitation/welcome e-mail. I guess that's because MM3 allows a user to subscribe without having an account, right? Else, there's a problem. ## Issue #2 Anyway, if that new user asks for a password reset on Postorius they get "Server error An error occurred while processing your request." Log shows: ``` ERROR 2025-08-29 17:59:17,227 173488 django.request Internal Server Error: /accounts/password/reset/ Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/exception.py", line 55, in inner response = get_response(request) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 197, in _get_response response = wrapped_callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/views/generic/base.py", line 105, in view return self.dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/utils/decorators.py", line 46, in _wrapper return bound_method(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/views/generic/base.py", line 144, in dispatch return handler( form.save(self.request) ~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/allauth/account/forms.py", line 633, in save adapter.send_password_reset_mail(user, email, context) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/allauth/account/adapter.py", line 577, in send_password_reset_mail return self.send_mail("account/email/password_reset_key", email, context) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/allauth/account/adapter.py", line 201, in send_mail msg.send() ~~~~~~~~^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/core/mail/message.py", line 299, in send return self.get_connection(fail_silently).send_messages([self]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/core/mail/backends/smtp.py", line 134, in send_messages sent = self._send(message) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/core/mail/backends/smtp.py", line 152, in _send self.connection.sendmail( ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^ from_email, recipients, message.as_bytes(linesep="\r\n") ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ) ^ File "/usr/lib/python3.13/smtplib.py", line 861, in sendmail self.ehlo_or_helo_if_needed() ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.13/smtplib.py", line 611, in ehlo_or_helo_if_needed if not (200 <= self.ehlo()[0] <= 299): ~~~~~~~~~^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.13/smtplib.py", line 451, in ehlo self.putcmd(self.ehlo_msg, name or self.local_hostname) ~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.13/smtplib.py", line 378, in putcmd self.send(f'{s}{CRLF}') ~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.13/smtplib.py", line 365, in send raise SMTPServerDisconnected('please run connect() first') smtplib.SMTPServerDisconnected: please run connect() first ``` The same happens if the new users tries to sign up.

Subscription Request asking for Confirmation instead of Moderation
by Henry Hartley Aug. 29, 2025

Aug. 29, 2025

We have a list where the Subscription Policy (Settings -> Member Policy -> Subscription Policy) is set to "Moderate" and when I send a message to LISTNAME-join(a)example.com<mailto:LISTNAME-join@example.com> (not the real domain, obviously) everything works as expected and the user shows up in the Pending Approval list. We have a Drupal website that allows users to submit a form that, among other things, sends a subscription request to our Mailman3 'join' address. When that happens, however, instead of going to the Pending Approval list, the name is shows on the Pending Confirmation page. We don't send a Welcome message so as far as I can tell, they do not get an email asking them to confirm their email address. Two questions: 1. Are there particular headers that are causing the email to go to the Confirmation page instead of the Approval page? Or are there particular headers we can add that will help with this? 2. Is there any way for us to move an address from the Confirmation Pending page to confirmed on the backend (preferably through the web interface, but on the server itself, if necessary)? Here are the headers sent with the subscriber's email address changed to FirstLast(a)SCHOOL.edu<mailto:FirstLast@SCHOOL.edu> and our BCC mailbox domain changed to COMPANY.com. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed; delsp=yes Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8Bit X-Mailer: Drupal Return-Path: FirstLast(a)SCHOOL.edu<mailto:FirstLast@SCHOOL.edu> Sender: FirstLast(a)SCHOOL.edu<mailto:FirstLast@SCHOOL.edu> From: FirstLast(a)SCHOOL.edu<mailto:FirstLast@SCHOOL.edu> Bcc: mailman-noreply(a)COMPANY.com<mailto:mailman-noreply@COMPANY.com> -- Henry Hartley Westat RB 2151

Today no question, but my toolbox: set "global" user preferences; list or delete held messages
by Wikinaut Aug. 27, 2025

Aug. 27, 2025

After some (sorry for bothering you) questions here, I was able to set up a mailman3 system which I regard as perfect for my use. Perhaps, you had similar problems with your installation, especially when coming from mailman2 and, like me, from majordomo...... I collected a lot of information which was presented in this mailling list archive here and also answers of my questions (thanks Mark and others) News: https://github.com/Wikinaut/mailman3-tools has all of these tools. README says: Scripts for maintenance or setting-up of modern mailman3 instances set preferences for all users list held messages delete held messages older n days My setting is strictly as described in the documentation: mailman3 + postorius/hyperkitty are installed via pip in an (venv) /opt/mailman/ My user scripts and a huge mailing list generator (not published here) are in a directory apart from that: user maillistgen home directory /home/maillistgen user maillistgen has some sudo rights set uo in /etc/sudoers a wrapper script is /home/maillistgen/run_mailman.sh which sets the correct path for Python, mailman3 and the (venv). I hope, you like my tiny part of contribution and attribution back to Mark.

How can i suppress sending moderation mail to all owners?
by Markus Grandpré Aug. 25, 2025

Dear list members, How can I configure the list settings the way that emails intended for moderators are delivered only to them, and not to the owners/administrators of the list?

Python backtrace from `mailman -h`

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).

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

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.

db migration from mailman3.2.2 to mailman3.3.9 (sqlite3 to postgres16)
by Peter Thornton Aug. 13, 2025

Aug. 13, 2025

Hello, I know this question comes up here periodically, but I am having some trouble performing a data migration from an older version of mailman3 to a more recent one. We have a legacy environment with: mailman3.2.2 postorius 1.2.4 hyperkitty 1.2.2 there are two sqlite3 dbs for mailman core and mailman web. I've staged a new environment using the docker-mailman project with the following: mailman3.3.9 postorius 1.3.10 hyperkitty 1.3.8 there is a single postgres db here for both core and web. I've tried migration a few different ways, using pgloader, and also with some manual python scripts. Data is definitely not my forte, but I am struggling to get a working instance. I am running into several issues such as foreignkeyviolations, datatype mismatches, unique PK errors, etc.. Does anyone out there have a prescriptive process for this migration, or a suggestion for workflow/tooling that has worked in a similar upgrade process? Thanks! -Peter

Website 404 error
by peter＠pi4cc.nl Aug. 11, 2025

Aug. 11, 2025

Hello I'm running Debian 12 with the latest version and installed mailman3 via apt install-mailman3-full. Everything works, I'm using MySQL as the database. There's something strange, and I can't find a source/solution. When I first access the website domain.nl/mailman3, it's redirected to domain.nl/mailman/postorius/lists/, resulting in a 404 error (3 after mailman is missing). When I accessed it a second time with the same link (domain.nl/mailman3), I was redirected to domain.nl/mailman3/postorius/lists and the welcome page appeared. This is strange... I tested it on a mobile device with Chrome and Firefox, and on a desktop with Chrome and Edge. All the results were the same. Is there a specific file to look add? Regards, Peter

Vote irregularities
by Ron Aug. 10, 2025

Aug. 10, 2025

I've been playing with the voting system on a couple of lists (this one included). There are some weird behaviours I've noticed: * votes are frequently not immediately reflected - a page reload is required * some votes display as: 0 0 You dislike it (cancel) Here we see I've voted on a message, but the counts are still zero up and zero down. I just down-voted one of my posts as a test, and nothing changed in the page to reflect the vote. Often it takes multiple clicks, sometimes a page reload. Browser console shows voting generates a 200 response to a POST method, but the JSON confuses me: like 0 dislike 0 html '\n\n <form method="post" class="likeform"\n action="/archives/list/talk(a)lists.domain.tld/message/IK6WH4IQPZXOG3CIFV4CJGOKVFARGXA5/vote">\n <input type="hidden" name="csrfmiddlewaretoken" value="***">\n \n\t\t\n\t\t\t<a class="youlike vote "\n\t\t\thref="#like" data-vote="1" aria-label="Like thread">\n\t\t\t\t\t<i class="fa fa-thumbs-o-up"></i> 0\n\t\t\t</a>\n\t\t\t<a class="youdislike vote"\n\t\t\thref="#dislike" data-vote="-1" aria-label="Dislike thread">\n\t\t\t\t<i class="fa fa-thumbs-o-down"></i> 0\n\t\t\t</a>\n\t\t\n \n\n </form>\n' The uwsgi.log file entry for that vote is: [pid: 4010303|app: 0|req: 552908/575956] 127.0.0.1 () {66 vars in 1374 bytes} [Sun Aug 10 02:28:21 2025] POST /archives/list/talk(a)lists.domain.tld/message/IK6WH4IQPZXOG3CIFV4CJGOKVFARGXA5/vote => generated 696 bytes in 376 msecs (HTTP/1.1 200) 9 headers in 394 bytes (1 switches on core 1) Following the Permalink beside the voting options loads the specific message with no votes showing.

Searching the archive shows something from ~6-7 years ago where caching was modified, seems relevant but nothing since. Am I alone in this, or is the feature so unused that nobody else noticed this?

Problem upgrading from 2.1 to 3, dockerized
by jesper.holck＠ibsgaarden.dk Aug. 9, 2025

Aug. 9, 2025

I recently followed the instructions here https://github.com/g4rf/dockerized-mailcow-mailman, and was able to create a new Mailman 3, Debian-based installation. I then followed the instructions here https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/migration.html in order to migrate from my old, Centos-based installation, to the new, Debian-based installation. It seemed to work well, but unfortunately a problem showed up. Whenever someone posted to one of the lists on the new installation, the messages were rejected by Postfix: postfix-mailcow-1 | Aug 5 20:55:48 ef2b760c2e61 postfix/cleanup[8681]: B7B856099EC: message-id=<A8946B8E-2A47-4701-9548-4544981FAC5E(a)gmail.com> postfix-mailcow-1 | Aug 5 20:55:49 ef2b760c2e61 postfix/cleanup[8681]: B7B856099EC: milter-reject: END-OF-MESSAGE from unknown[172.22.1.1]: 5.7.1 This message does not meet our delivery requirements; from=<mylist-bounces(a)myserver.dk> to=<mylistuser1(a)gmail.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<[172.19.199.4]> postfix-mailcow-1 | Aug 5 20:55:50 ef2b760c2e61 postfix/cleanup[8681]: 216D36099EC: message-id=<A8946B8E-2A47-4701-9548-4544981FAC5E(a)gmail.com> postfix-mailcow-1 | Aug 5 20:55:50 ef2b760c2e61 postfix/cleanup[8681]: 216D36099EC: milter-reject: END-OF-MESSAGE from unknown[172.22.1.1]: 5.7.1 This message does not meet our delivery requirements; from=<mylist-bounces(a)myserver.dk> to=<mylistuser2(a)mail.dk> proto=ESMTP helo=<[172.19.199.4]> So, for each of the existing lists, I had to delete the old list and create a new one - with the same name and the same users. After this, everything seems to work as expected. Thanks for all the work you all has put into this, Jesper

mailman addmember/syncmember commands print undecoded UTF-8 [ADD] or [DEL] mail addresses in its messages like "[ADD] =?utf-8?q?John_=....."
by Wikinaut Aug. 8, 2025

Aug. 8, 2025

My post here is merely about the information output when running mailman addmembers/syncmembers where I discovered strange looking lines. I noticed that addmember and syncmember output looks like [ADD] =?utf-8?q?John_=28Foo=29_Doe_=5Bcomment1=5D_=5Bcomment2=5D?= <john.foo.doe(a)example.com> whereas the entries in the Web-GUI look fine. I triple-checked the textfile from which the names stem from, yes, the file is UTF8. Is this behaviour of addmember/syncmember command output commonly known - or is this a small cosmetic bug? PS. At some moment I had, probably from my test and legay data file, also these codings in about fifty entries of my users lists, but deleted that users with a small script, so that user list is now clean. My post here is merely about the information output when running mailman addmembers/syncmembers.

clearing pending db
by Morris Jones Aug. 8, 2025

Aug. 8, 2025

I have an admittedly out-of-date installation of Mailman 3.3 (3.3.2 Tom Sawyer) but it's been working without issues for a long time, so I haven't had much incentive to bring it up to date. Sorry! A couple of my larger mailing lists (around 500 members) are currently very slow when making changes through the UI (maybe that's my raison-to-update). They also both have very large lists of members "pending confirmation." My suspicion is that the large pending list is slowing down other operations. But pendingdb.evict() doesn't seem to clear the list. For example, on one of my lists: >>> from mailman.interfaces.pending import IPendings >>> >>> from zope.component import getUtility >>> >>> pendingdb = getUtility(IPendings) >>> pendingdb.count() 5040 >>> pendingdb.evict() >>> pendingdb.count() 5040 >>> I have several lists, but none of them are extremely active, so I don't have a problem with wiping the pending db for all of them. And I also might be totally wrong in my guess. Mojo -- Morris Jones, Monrovia, CA

Support question, not a bug: Is it possible and how, programmatically to change all settings from domain1 to domain2?
by Wikinaut Aug. 8, 2025

Aug. 8, 2025

@Mark & Stephen, now, where here everything appears to run smoothly on a new server, I want to change the testmail.domain (domain1) settings to mail.domain (domain2) settings. It would be a great help, if this can be done by python script respectively a mailman3 shell script. Is there any on your desk, or can you help me? I already defined in mailman/admin (django admin) that new target domain. I guess, at the end, there might also be a very changes in mailman.cfg and settings.py necessary.

Main daemon process sticks around after forking
by Jérôme Charaoui Aug. 8, 2025

Aug. 8, 2025

Hello, I'm running a (rather large) mailman3 instance on Debian 13 (trixie) using the distribution packages. To manage the mailman3 daemon, the package installs this systemd service unit: https://sources.debian.org/src/mailman3/3.3.10-2/debian/mailman3.service/ It has been working fine until recently: after a reboot, we noticed the mailman3 unit consistently failing to start due to a timeout error. I figured out that the timeout was related to the service unit type (Type=forking) and the fact that the main/parent process was forking subprocesses (and running normally), writing a PID file, but it wasn't exiting, so systemd identifies this as an error and aborts the service. Since switching to Type=simple, it has been working fine. I'm wondering if anyone else has seen such behavior and how I could troubleshoot it. Thanks! -- Jérôme

How to create a list with → advertised=false ← by command line "mailman create [OPTIONS] LISTNAME" ?

I use the following REST-API sequence (excerpt:) to create a list but want to use the much quicker command line. However, only a few [OPTIONS] can be set via command line. Why?

Hi all, I'm running into an issue with Mailman 3. Mails sent to a list are being held due to moderation settings — which is expected — but after approving them, they are not delivered to list members. The message does not end up in the shunt queue, and nothing is delivered. Here's what I see in the Mailman log: Jul 30 16:12:23 2025 (213300) HOLD: mm(a)lists.example.com post from sender(a)sub.example.com held, message-id=<20250730141221.5VVrn%sender(a)sub.example.com>: The message is not from a list member Jul 30 16:12:39 2025 (213338) held message approved, message-id: <20250730141221.5VVrn%sender(a)sub.example.com> In the mail log, I only see the message arriving — there's no sign of it being sent out.

Whitelist in mailman3: How to allow only ~400 e-mail senders in a file whitelist to send to a list?
by Wikinaut Aug. 5, 2025

Aug. 5, 2025

In mailman2, it was quite handy to place "@whitelist" into the field sender/accept_these_nonmembers, when such a file has been set up. How can I (per list or programmatically) define the ~400 e-mail senders to be allowed to send to my about 30 lists? And, yes, I already searched for a solution of this problem, but could not find any.

How to create (or change) certain member preferences (in a list, or for all lists) by command line "mailman create [OPTIONS] LISTNAME" ? (Suggestion: modification of this command)
by Wikinaut Aug. 5, 2025

Aug. 5, 2025

Some member preferences - such as hide_address - cannot be set with the [OPTIONS] in the command line. I suggest to modify the code so that all member preferences can be set via the command line. What do you think? This is how I currently patch (some) member preferences (hide_address is a variable here) in a python script, but this takes a lot of time, depending on the number of users.... YMMV. patch_url = f"{member['self_link']}/preferences" patch_data = { "acknowledge_posts": True, "hide_address": hide_address, "preferred_language": "de", "receive_list_copy": True, "receive_own_postings": True, "delivery_mode": "regular", # accepted values are: regular, plaintext_digests, mime_digests, summary_digests "delivery_status": delivery_status # accepted values are: enabled, by_user, by_bounces, by_moderator, unknown } r = requests.patch(patch_url, json=patch_data, auth=AUTH, headers=HEADERS)

Advice on how to set announcement only lists?
by Sparks, Paul July 31, 2025

July 31, 2025

Here's the basics of what I'm trying to set up: The Web UI is not available. CLI tools are being used for configuration and ongoing maintenance functions. The server instance is ephemeral, but has persistent storage for postfix / mailman configuration. There are a series of notification lists list-0000(a)example.com, list-0001(a)example.com, etc. Users can subscribe / unsubscribe via email. A list-all(a)example.com list can be used to send posts to all lists (this is rare). A siteadmin(a)example.com email address is the only sender allowed to post to any list. A list-admin(a)example.com list is defined. This list should be copied on all posts that are sent to any of the notification lists. The admin list membership is maintained via CLI tools by list admins Below are a couple of ideas I've played around with, but haven't gotten a good solution. Suggestions would be welcome. I've had a little experience with the CLI tools, but I'm not having luck with trying to add non-members. Idea 1 Have list-all(a)example.com be an umbrella list with all notifications lists as members. list-admin(a)example.com is added to all lists as a member siteadmin(a)example.com is added to all notification lists as a member with moderation_action = Action.defer to allow sending posts. ues-all(a)example.com is added to all notification lists as a member with moderation_action = Action.defer to allow "nested" sending to members of the list-all list. There seem to be issues with having the senders as members of the list. Having them as non-members might be a solution, but I haven't yet figured out how to add non-members via CLI. Idea 2 Use cron with CLI tools to extract all notification list members and update (mailman syncmembers) the list-all membership. Use script to add all list-admin users to each notification list. Update all notification lists when the list-admin membership changes. This is somewhat problematic since individuals could be direct members of notification lists and removal from list-admin would remove the direct membership. siteadmin(a)example.com is added to all lists as a member with moderation_action = Action.defer to allow sending posts. ________________________________ The contents of this e-mail, including attachments, are intended for use by the named addressee only and may contain information that is confidential or private according to applicable law.

Relay Access Denied
by jkoral＠luc.edu July 23, 2025

July 23, 2025

I have recently migrated my lists from an old mailman2 server to a new mailman3 server. The new server is named listservnew and the old server is called lists. Everything is working on the new server using the new name, but after changing the DNS of lists to point to the new server, I am getting Relay Access Denied. We are running this through an F5 and the RCPT from unknown is the F5 IP address. When I add that IP to the main.cf under mynetworks, I get a different error.

Enforcing SSO and subscription options
by dlb-ml＠anl.gov July 21, 2025

July 21, 2025

Contrary to the messages I found in the archive, rather trying to delete or remove the social login portion of the sign in page, I'm looking to see if there's any way to isolate the third-party login section and prevent local account sign in and sign up. This way, we can ensure that the people within our organization are using a stronger auth method that prioritizes MFA, rather than just username/password. To do this, our plan is to block signups using "ACCOUNT_ADAPTER = 'django_mailman3.views.user_adapter.DisableSignupAdapter'" and to remove the portions of the login template such that the username/password/forgot password fields are removed, leaving just the button to our SSO instance. I'm anticipating that this should be sufficient to block username/password sign ins, and is resistant to page manipulation due to CSRF tokens, but I wanted to ask to see if there was a better way, like an official configuration (which I have not found yet). I did see that there is the SOCALACCOUNT_ONLY option, as provided by allauth (https://docs.allauth.org/en/latest/socialaccount/configuration.html) but that broke any attempt to display the sign in page, and I'm assuming is not supported with the current version of MM3. Is my plan to modify the templates viable? Additionally, because external users would not have access to their own dashboards within the web UI, and since we are planning on disabling anonymous subscriptions with "SHOW_ANONYMOUS_SUBSCRIBE_FORM=False", the only two viable ways to subscribe to a list for them would be: 1) Send a request directly to the list owner or a superadmin to subscribe/unsubscribe the address 2) Allow email commands to subcribe/unsubscribe users (i.e. $LISTNAME-join@$DOMAIN) Given the discussions on disabling the anonymous subscription form, are the email commands a less spam-susceptible solution or are they just as vulnerable as the form? Thanks

Mailman appears to send an email to a closed list, from a member who was removed from that list

My project is doing testing of our mailing lists and came across what appears to be a bug. I believe it's not but she insists that it is. So before I do a bunch of research I wanted to post my steps to reproduce and ask for input. I'm including the full (redacted) mailing list config at the bottom of this post for reference. * I have a closed mailing list, acme-closed(a)foo.com * That mailing list has multiple subscribers, including user-1. I confirmed this by shelling into our server and running `mailman members acme-closed(a)foo.com --role=any` on the OS command line. This showed all of the subscribers, including user-1. * I sent an mail FROM user-1 TO acme-closed, and it was received. And by that I mean I received an email TO acme-closed, FROM user-1. I also received the same email emails sent to the other subscribers since I use a catch all address for local testing. * In our system I closed user-1's account (which removes that user from the mailing list). I confirmed this by running the `mailman members` command and noting that user-1 was no longer a subscriber. * I sent another mail FROM user-1 TO acme-closed, and received two emails. One showed what appears to be a successful send to the mailing list. It showed acme-closed as the TO address, and user-1 as the sender. But I also received a second email TO user-1 FROM acme-closed whose body reads "Your message to the Acme-closed mailing-list was rejected for the following reasons: The message is not from a list member. The original message as received by Mailman is attached." So my PM is insistent that the first email is proof that there's a bug. "No e-mail sent from an e-mail address for a closed account should be sent to the mailing list." I on the other hand am arguing that the second email is proof that the email _wasn't_ actually sent to the list, and was instead a sort of bounceback to the user, However it's tough to argue with her logic because I agree the first email seems to have been incorrectly sent. Can you help me understand why the first email was sent, and if there's a way to prove with certainty that Mailman is behaving correctly? ``` accept_these_nonmembers: [] acceptablealias: [] admin_immed_notify: True admin_notify_mchanges: True administrators: [5 <Members>] administrivia: True advertised: False allow_list_posts: True anonymous_list: False archive_policy: ArchivePolicy.private archive_rendering_mode: ArchiveRenderingMode.text autorespond_owner: ResponseAction.none autorespond_postings: ResponseAction.none autorespond_requests: ResponseAction.none autoresponse_grace_period: 90 days, 0:00:00 autoresponse_owner_text: autoresponse_postings_text: autoresponse_request_text: bounce_info_stale_after: 7 days, 0:00:00 bounce_matching_headers: bounce_notify_owner_on_bounce_increment: False bounce_notify_owner_on_disable: True bounce_notify_owner_on_removal: True bounce_score_threshold: 5 bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings: 3 bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings_interval: 7 days, 0:00:00 bounces_address: acme-closed-bounces(a)foo.com collapse_alternatives: True convert_html_to_plaintext: False created_at: 2025-07-18 17:22:54.921936 data_path: /var/mailman/lists/acme-closed.(a)foo.com default_member_action: Action.accept default_nonmember_action: Action.reject description: closed digest_is_default: False digest_last_sent_at: None digest_members: [] digest_send_periodic: True digest_size_threshold: 30.0 digest_volume_frequency: DigestFrequency.monthly digests_enabled: True discard_these_nonmembers: [] display_name: Acme-closed dmarc_addresses: [] dmarc_mitigate_action: DMARCMitigateAction.munge_from dmarc_mitigate_unconditionally: False dmarc_moderation_notice: dmarc_wrapped_message_text: domain: <Domain @foo.com> emergency: False encode_ascii_prefixes: False filter_action: FilterAction.discard filter_content: False filter_extensions: [] filter_types: [] first_strip_reply_to: None forward_auto_discards: True forward_unrecognized_bounces_to: UnrecognizedBounceDisposition.discard fqdn_listname: acme-closed(a)foo.com gateway_to_mail: False gateway_to_news: False hold_these_nonmembers: [] id: 2 include_rfc2369_headers: True info: join_address: acme-closed-join(a)foo.com last_digest_recipients: [] last_post_at: 2025-07-18 17:26:28.155475 leave_address: acme-closed-leave(a)foo.com linked_newsgroup: list_id: acme-closed.(a)foo.com list_name: acme-closed mail_host: @foo.com max_days_to_hold: 0 max_message_size: 20000 max_num_recipients: 0 member_moderation_notice: member_roster_visibility: RosterVisibility.moderators members: [6 members] metadata: MetaData() moderator_password: None moderators: [5 Members] newsgroup_moderation: NewsgroupModeration.none next_digest_number: 1 next_request_id: 1 nntp_prefix_subject_too: True no_reply_address: noreply(a)foo.com nonmember_rejection_notice: nonmembers: [2 Members] obscure_addresses: True owner_address: acme-closed-owner(a)foo.com owner_chain: default-owner-chain owner_pipeline: default-owner-pipeline owners: [] pass_extensions: [] pass_types: [] personalize: Personalization.none post_id: 2 posting_address: acme-closed(a)foo.com posting_chain: default-posting-chain posting_pipeline: default-posting-pipeline preferred_language: <Language [en] English (USA)> process_bounces: False regular_members: [6 Members] reject_these_nonmembers: [] reply_goes_to_list: ReplyToMunging.no_munging reply_to_address: None request_address: acme-closed-request(a)foo.com require_explicit_destination: True respond_to_post_requests: False scrub_nondigest: False send_goodbye_message: False send_welcome_message: False subject_prefix: [Acme-closed] subscribe_address: acme-closed-subscribe(a)foo.com subscribers: 13 Members] subscription_policy: SubscriptionPolicy.moderate topics: [] topics_bodylines_limit: 5 topics_enabled: False unsubscribe_address: acme-closed-unsubscribe(a)foo.com unsubscription_policy: SubscriptionPolicy.confirm usenet_watermark: None volume: 1 ```

Customize subjects

Hi there, we have just started with internal tests around Mailman3 before we want to use it productively. Our instance runs on a virtualised Debian server. We have now started to work with the templates and created a new template ‘list:user:action:subscribe.txt’ under /var/lib/mailman3/templates/site/de. Unfortunately, we can't find out how to customise the subject of the email. Can anyone help us here? Regards Johannes

RFC-2369 List-Unsubscribe header missing
by Sparks, Paul July 16, 2025

July 16, 2025

I forgot to include the mailing list in a reply to Stephen and I wantied to follow up here in case what I learned is helpful to others. One of the things Stephen suggested was that postfix was filtering the headers. That was true in my case. The configuration code I inherited had the following lines in /etc/postfix/header_checks /^List-Unsubscribe:/ IGNORE /^List-Subscribe:/ IGNORE > How are you capturing mail at postfix? For capturing the email at postifx I used the following steps I found on another website to defer SMTP sending so I could look at emails while they were "in process" by postfix. postconf -e defer_transports=smtp; postfix reload # send the email to the server mailq # Use ID from mailq to examine the email using postcat postcat -vq C23D82B60024 # Re-enable SMTP sending postconf -e defer_transports=; postfix reload; postfix flush As for the question about debugging in rfc-2369.py, I did have additional log.debug calls in the "process" method, but was not seeing anything from them. Perhaps they were not getting called as Stephen suggested. Stephen also mentioned in a private email to me about RFC 8058 "One-Click Leave" which is intended to make it easier for folks to unsubscribe from lists. We don't have an implementation in Mailman 3 yet, but it looks like a reasonable protocol (ie, not that easy to abuse, though not impossible). It can probably be implemented in Postfix (but it might not be straightforward). https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8058 ________________________________ The contents of this e-mail, including attachments, are intended for use by the named addressee only and may contain information that is confidential or private according to applicable law.

Hello Admins, The subject appears as part of the output of `systemctl status mailman3`. Anyone fixed it? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 In an Internet failure case, the #1 suspect is a constant: DNS.

New Lists Appear in HyperKitty Archives, But No Mail Data is Shown
by Asif Muzammil July 14, 2025

July 14, 2025

Hello, I have been troubleshooting an issue with our Mailman 3 archives. I have made a key observation that has helped narrow down the problem. While a newly created list appears in the HyperKitty archives, no email data is shown inside that list. *Problem:* When I create a new mailing list in Mailman Core and then visit the HyperKitty archives, the list is correctly displayed. However, when I send an email to that list, no mail data (messages) are shown inside it. The message count for the list remains at zero in the archives UI. *Expected Behavior:* I expect that when a new list is created, it should appear in the archives, and any emails sent to it should also be correctly displayed within that list. *System Environment:* - *Mailman Version:* Mailman 3.x - *Archiver:* HyperKitty - *Web Interface:* Postorius - *Database:* PostgreSQL - *Setup:* Mailman Core (/opt/mailman/venv) and the web components (venv_hk) are running in separate virtual environments on the same server. *Troubleshooting Steps Taken:* 1. *List Synchronization:* Creating a new list in Mailman Core immediately makes it visible in the HyperKitty archives, which confirms that the mailmanweb service is correctly communicating with the hyperkitty_mailinglist table. 2. *Email Injection Test:* I used the mailman shell to inject a test email directly into a list. The inject_message function executed without errors. 3. *Configuration Check:* I have verified that the base_url in the Mailman archiver configuration (mailman-hyperkitty.cfg) and the MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_KEY in the HyperKitty settings file (settings.py) are correctly set and match. Could this be due to an API key or permissions issue preventing the data from being written, even though the tables exist? Any advice on what to check next would be extremely helpful. Thanks
