Custom Templates and reject_message() error
by Marcel Pietschmann Aug. 2, 2020

Aug. 2, 2020

Hi everyone, I'm running Mailman 3 in maxking's Docker container (tag 0.3). Mailman3 runs really well, thanks for that good job! But I noticed two errors. 1) When a new list is created, Mailman will not notify the list owners of their new mailing list. I tested it with the default template "domain:admin:notice:new-list.txt" and my own template (which i copied in $var_dir/templates/domains/DOMAIN/de/ Any customs templates in $var_dir/templates... aren't sent out, always the default templates from /usr/lib/python3/site-packages/mailman/templates/de. I can't find anything in the logs for that issue. 2) When a post requires an approval and I reject it with a notification a server error occurs: "An error occurred while processing your request." The Traceback in mailmanweb.log is: ERROR 2020-08-01 16:19:19,926 17 django.request Internal Server Error: /postorius/lists/list.domain.de/held_messages/moderate Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/handlers/exception.py", line 34, in inner response = get_response(request) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 115, in _get_response response = self.process_exception_by_middleware(e, request) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 113, in _get_response response = wrapped_callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/views/decorators/http.py", line 40, in inner return func(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/decorators.py", line 21, in _wrapped_view return view_func(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/postorius/auth/decorators.py", line 60, in wrapper return fn(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/postorius/views/list.py", line 549, in moderate_held_message mailing_list.reject_message(msg.request_id, reason=reason) TypeError: reject_message() got an unexpected keyword argument 'reason' Thanks a lot for any suggestion.

Mailman 3.2.0 Hyperkitty fulltext index error
by Marvin Gülker July 31, 2020

July 31, 2020

Hi, I've just upgraded to Mailman 3.2.0 (finally everything Python 3 now, thanks!) and it appears to work. However, there's a repeating error message in mailman-suite's logfile for Hyperkitty that looks like this: ERROR 2018-07-12 14:28:33,895 2742 hyperkitty.lib.utils Failed to update the fulltext index: ord() expected a character, but string of length 0 found Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/hyperkitty/lib/utils.py", line 179, in run_with_lock fn(*args, **kwargs) File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/hyperkitty/search_indexes.py", line 115, in update_index update_cmd.update_backend("hyperkitty", "default") File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/haystack/management/commands/update_index.py", line 276, in update_backend last_max_pk=max_pk) File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/haystack/management/commands/update_index.py", line 97, in do_update backend.update(index, current_qs, commit=commit) File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/haystack/backends/whoosh_backend.py", line 178, in update self.setup() File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/haystack/backends/whoosh_backend.py", line 126, in setup self.index = self.storage.open_index(schema=self.schema) File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/whoosh/filedb/filestore.py", line 176, in open_index return indexclass(self, schema=schema, indexname=indexname) File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/whoosh/index.py", line 421, in __init__ TOC.read(self.storage, self.indexname, schema=self._schema) File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/whoosh/index.py", line 632, in read check_size("int", _INT_SIZE) File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/whoosh/index.py", line 626, in check_size sz = stream.read_varint() File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/whoosh/filedb/structfile.py", line 191, in read_varint return read_varint(self.read) File "/home/mailman/env3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/whoosh/util/varints.py", line 102, in read_varint b = ord(readfn(1)) TypeError: ord() expected a character, but string of length 0 found The error repeats every minute, so I suppose it comes from the minutely cronjob.

Owner's or Moderator's Lists
by Johnny Cison July 31, 2020

July 31, 2020

I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but is there a page in Postorius that lists all of the lists of which the user is the owner or moderator? When I visit the /lists/ URL as an admin, I see a full list. When I visit the /lists/ URL without being logged in, I see public lists. I've heard from two people who are list owners (and confirmed they're logged in and their email is showing as verified) that they also just see the public lists on the /lists/ page. (I tried searching the archives and didn't see anything that addressed this. My apologies if I overlooked it!)

Good choice of defaults for content filtering?
by hansen＠rc.org July 31, 2020

July 31, 2020

Hi all, I had MM2 set to the default filtering that I think came OOTB. MM3 has none such and I was wondering: a. What were those MM2 defaults (My MM2 server is long gone now). b. Is there a better set today. I know that MIME types can be faked, but they have worked. I want to avoid anything that can contain malicious code while also allowing simple text to go through. Yours, Allan

A little stuck with installation of MM3 - ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flufl.lock'
by Odhiambo Washington July 30, 2020

July 30, 2020

I decided to try this again, on FreeBSD-12.1 I still decided to follow https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Mailman%203%20installation%20experience which I know is not the main documentation, but I find the process easier to follow. I am also taking notes to see if I could share if I manage to succeed. This is important for me because Python-2.7 is being removed from FreeBSD in Dec 2020. I need to bail out of mailman-2.x before that happens so I am trying my hand again om MM3. I have failed before :-) I am stuck at this step: (venv) [root@gw /opt/mailman/mm]# /opt/mailman/mm/bin/mailman-post-update + '[' False == False ']' + mkdir -p /opt/mailman/mm/static + /opt/mailman/mm/bin/django-admin collectstatic --clear --noinput --verbosity 0 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/bin/django-admin", line 33, in <module> sys.exit(load_entry_point('Django==3.0.8', 'console_scripts', 'django-admin')()) File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Django-3.0.8-py3.7.egg/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 401, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Django-3.0.8-py3.7.egg/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 377, in execute django.setup() File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Django-3.0.8-py3.7.egg/django/__init__.py", line 24, in setup apps.populate(settings.INSTALLED_APPS) File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Django-3.0.8-py3.7.egg/django/apps/registry.py", line 114, in populate app_config.import_models() File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Django-3.0.8-py3.7.egg/django/apps/config.py", line 211, in import_models self.models_module = import_module(models_module_name) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/importlib/__init__.py", line 127, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1006, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 983, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 967, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 677, in _load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 728, in exec_module File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 219, in _call_with_frames_removed File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/HyperKitty-1.3.4-py3.7.egg/hyperkitty/models/__init__.py", line 26, in <module> from .email import Attachment, Email File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/HyperKitty-1.3.4-py3.7.egg/hyperkitty/models/email.py", line 35, in <module> from .mailinglist import MailingList File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/HyperKitty-1.3.4-py3.7.egg/hyperkitty/models/mailinglist.py", line 37, in <module> from hyperkitty.lib.utils import pgsql_disable_indexscan File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/HyperKitty-1.3.4-py3.7.egg/hyperkitty/lib/utils.py", line 42, in <module> from flufl.lock import Lock *ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flufl.lock'* (venv) [root@gw /opt/mailman/mm]# pip install flufl.lock Requirement already satisfied: flufl.lock in ./venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/flufl.lock-4.0-py3.7.egg (4.0) Requirement already satisfied: atpublic in ./venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/atpublic-1.0-py3.7.egg (from flufl.lock) (1.0) Requirement already satisfied: psutil in ./venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/psutil-5.7.2-py3.7-freebsd-12.1-RELEASE-p7-amd64.egg (from flufl.lock) (5.7.2) Even after the 'pip install flufl.lock' it still doesn't find it! I have had a similar problem earlier with installing pylibmc. It could not find libmemcache.h despite it being inside /usr/local/include somewhere and I luckily solved that with export LIBMEMCACHED=/usr/local && pip install pylibmc. I am wondering if there is an equivalent to resolve this one with flufl.lock. Thanks in advance. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft.", grep ^[^#] :-)

500 Internal Server Error on specific list pages
by Johnny Cison July 30, 2020

July 30, 2020

I have a new Mailman 3 server set up and am having a strange issue with just one particular list. Accessing the list's Info page URL or it's Archiving Settings page URL returns a 500 Internal Server Error, but its other pages work correctly. Also, the Info and Archiving pages on the other lists are working correctly. When I access the info page for the problem list, I get these errors in the log: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/exception.py", line 41, in inner response = get_response(request) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 249, in _legacy_get_response response = self._get_response(request) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 187, in _get_response response = self.process_exception_by_middleware(e, request) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 185, in _get_response response = wrapped_callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/views/generic/base.py", line 68, in view return self.dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/postorius/views/generic.py", line 59, in dispatch return super(MailingListView, self).dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/views/generic/base.py", line 88, in dispatch return handler(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/postorius/views/list.py", line 216, in get 'hyperkitty' in self.mailing_list.archivers and File "/usr/lib/python2.7/_abcoll.py", line 388, in __contains__ self[key] File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/base.py", line 151, in __getitem__ return self._get(key) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/base.py", line 90, in _get return self.rest_data[key] File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/base.py", line 76, in rest_data response, content = self._connection.call(self._url) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/connection.py", line 103, in call raise HTTPError(url, response.status, content, response, None) HTTPError: HTTP Error 500: A server error occurred.

Please contact the administrator. Not a python developer, which makes debugging based on the above more difficult. I've seen some other errors posted to this list that highlight specific setting or config issues, but I'm not seeing that in these. Any ideas?

The email confirming the registration of an account on postorius is not correctly translated in Italian
by Massimo Zappalà July 30, 2020

July 30, 2020

Hi everyone, thanks to the files.po on Weblate, I have translated all Mailman-Core, Postorius, Hyperkitty and Django_mailman3. I have also translated the confirmation message to subscribe to a list. Everything works, except for this: When I register a new account on postorius, he sends me a confirmation email totally in English, except the following final block which is sent in Italian: in my /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/allauth/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/django.po #: templates/account/email/email_confirmation_message.txt:7 #, python-format msgid "" "Thank you from %(site_name)s!\n" "%(site_domain)s" msgstr "" "Grazie da %(site_name)s!\n" "%(site_domain)s" By carefully analyzing the same file .po, I notice that the Italian translation of the whole text already exists. Why does the confirmation email arrive in English? #: templates/account/email/email_confirmation_message.txt:1 #, fuzzy, python-format #| msgid "" #| "User %(user_display)s at %(site_name)s has given this as an email " #| "address.\n" #| "\n" #| "To confirm this is correct, go to %(activate_url)s\n" msgid "" "Hello from %(site_name)s!\n" "\n" "You're receiving this e-mail because user %(user_display)s has given yours " "as an e-mail address to connect their account.\n" "\n" "To confirm this is correct, go to %(activate_url)s\n" msgstr "" "Ciao da %(site_name)s!\n" "\n" "L'Utente %(user_display)s di %(site_name)s ha registrato questo indirizzo e-" "mail.\n" "Per confermare, clicca qui %(activate_url)s\n" Thanks Max

mailman2 import not working
by Abhijith PA July 29, 2020

July 29, 2020

Hello. Recently I migrated a mailman2 mailing list to mailmam3. There was one problem[1] I faced. Currently I am running Debian packaged version (3.2.2-1) which don't have this fix. But it was manually done with this[2] method. Basically this is what I did for migration: ------------------------------------------- mailman create -o <foo(a)example.com> foo-bar(a)lists.example.com mailman import 21 foo-bar(a)lists.example.com path/to/config.pck ------------------------------------------- Then imported archives with ------------------------------------------ python3 manage.py hyperkitty_import --pythonpath /usr/share/mailman3-web --settings settings -l foo-list(a)list.example.com <path to>/foo-list.mbox python3 manage.py update_index_one_list foo-list(a)example.com --pythonpath /usr/share/mailman3-web --settings settings ------------------------------------------ After everything done tried a test mail, but didn't reach any of the inbox though mail is archived. mailman.log says message is accepted ACCEPT: <FEE2E515-C054-41E6-9853-744D3312A137(a)xxxxxx.org> Nothing after this.

Could not locate column in row for column 'user.id'
by Shashikanth Komandoor July 28, 2020

July 28, 2020

Hi Team, I am currently running Mailman 3 with version 3.3.1 and in built postfix version 2.10.1-6 on RHEL 7.5 in production environment from the past 2 months almost. From the past few days, I found my server is responding to the users very slowly and throwing the Server Error page (of course getting the required page after multiple refreshes) for almost every click on the postorius pages (not yet observed on hyperkitty front end which in fact is not so important for me as of now). During that time, I observed in the mailman.log an error message saying "Could not locate column in row for column 'user.id'". The complete traceback log is attached with the mail. The error message is generated for almost all the lists and all the clicks. And despite this error message, I don't know how the required page is loaded after a few refreshes of the webpage. I don't know how to resolve this issue. Please advise. Also, please let me know if anything I need to share with you. -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936

Hi, In my quest to create a superuser, I followed another HOWTO - https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/devsetup.html (venv) [root@gw /opt/mailman/git/mailman-suite/mailman-suite_project]# python manage.py migrate Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 10, in <module> execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Django-3.0.8-py3.7.egg/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 401, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Django-3.0.8-py3.7.egg/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 377, in execute django.setup() File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Django-3.0.8-py3.7.egg/django/__init__.py", line 24, in setup apps.populate(settings.INSTALLED_APPS) File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Django-3.0.8-py3.7.egg/django/apps/registry.py", line 114, in populate app_config.import_models() File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Django-3.0.8-py3.7.egg/django/apps/config.py", line 211, in import_models self.models_module = import_module(models_module_name) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/importlib/__init__.py", line 127, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1006, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 983, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 967, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 677, in _load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 728, in exec_module File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 219, in _call_with_frames_removed File "/opt/mailman/git/hyperkitty/hyperkitty/models/__init__.py", line 25, in <module> from .category import ThreadCategory File "/opt/mailman/git/hyperkitty/hyperkitty/models/category.py", line 61, in <module> class ThreadCategory(models.Model): File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Django-3.0.8-py3.7.egg/django/db/models/base.py", line 121, in __new__ new_class.add_to_class('_meta', Options(meta, app_label)) File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Django-3.0.8-py3.7.egg/django/db/models/base.py", line 325, in add_to_class value.contribute_to_class(cls, name) File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Django-3.0.8-py3.7.egg/django/db/models/options.py", line 208, in contribute_to_class self.db_table = truncate_name(self.db_table, connection.ops.max_name_length()) File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Django-3.0.8-py3.7.egg/django/db/__init__.py", line 28, in __getattr__ return getattr(connections[DEFAULT_DB_ALIAS], item) File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Django-3.0.8-py3.7.egg/django/db/utils.py", line 207, in __getitem__ backend = load_backend(db['ENGINE']) File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Django-3.0.8-py3.7.egg/django/db/utils.py", line 111, in load_backend return import_module('%s.base' % backend_name) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/importlib/__init__.py", line 127, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Django-3.0.8-py3.7.egg/django/db/backends/sqlite3/base.py", line 14, in <module> from sqlite3 import dbapi2 as Database File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/sqlite3/__init__.py", line 23, in <module> from sqlite3.dbapi2 import * File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/sqlite3/dbapi2.py", line 27, in <module> from _sqlite3 import * ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_sqlite3' *<==============================================================* (venv) [root@gw /opt/mailman/git/mailman-suite/mailman-suite_project]# pip install pysqlite3 Collecting pysqlite3 Using cached pysqlite3-0.4.3.tar.gz (40 kB) Building wheels for collected packages: pysqlite3 Building wheel for pysqlite3 (setup.py) ... done WARNING: Legacy build of wheel for 'pysqlite3' created no files.

# comment allowed in a template file?
by skenny＠scss.tcd.ie July 28, 2020

July 28, 2020

I've found that dropping files in to the templates directory is a simple and convenient way to make certain things happen. E.g. I can set a default footer for all posts by putting the desired content in a file called var/templates/site/en/list:member:generic:footer.txt. I'm running Mailman 3 in maxking's Docker container. I'm also using Puppet to do as much configuration as possible, so I'd like to add a comment to the file that reads something like: # This file is managed by Puppet. Is it ok to do this? I may not have searched the docs enough, but I couldn't find anything relating to comments. One other observation in case it's any use: Initially, I created the template files with owner set to "root". This resulted in postings to lists getting stuck in mailman-core. It's vital that these files are owned by user "mailman". Once I changed the owner of the file to the latter, everything worked. Stephen

July 28, 2020

Hi Team, Today, I found an error message like "Multiple rows were found for one_or_none()" when a hold message is approved for a list. Until yesterday the mails were accepted and delivered fine. But today the above said error message is thrown. Apart from that, I saw the mail had gone into the shunt queue. The "mailman qfile" output of the shunt message and the respective traceback log from mailman.log are attached. You may please go through them and help me out. Please also let me know if I have to share any more details. -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936

mailman3 nightly script(s) are leaking memory + mitigation
by Mark Dadgar July 24, 2020

July 24, 2020

So as I mentioned in another thread, I have a shiny new install of mailman3 latest using venv (thanks, Brian!). It’s running on ubuntu 20.04 using python 3.8.2, django 2.2.12, nginx, postgres, and memcached. The only functions this server runs are 1) postfix and dovecot for a small number of personal email accounts, and 2) mailman3 for a couple of mailing lists (one of which is fairly high traffic). Not long after install, I saw a couple of instances of the OOM killer activating in the logs. I set up a 1GB swapfile (discouraged on Digital Ocean instances because they don’t like their flash drives to take that kind of pounding) as a safety net. Then I saw the free swap space eroding over time, so I started collecting some data. Initial evening stats: top - 23:29:16 up 15 days, 9:20, 1 user, load average: 0.07, 0.16, 0.17 Tasks: 200 total, 1 running, 199 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu(s): 2.0 us, 1.7 sy, 0.0 ni, 96.3 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.1 si, 0.0 st MiB Mem : 3936.2 total, 264.9 free, 1651.4 used, 2019.9 buff/cache MiB Swap: 1000.0 total, 811.2 free, 188.8 used. 1854.5 avail Mem Stats the next morning: top - 08:42:15 up 13 days, 18:33, 1 user, load average: 0.29, 0.27, 0.19 Tasks: 204 total, 1 running, 203 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu(s): 2.5 us, 1.4 sy, 0.0 ni, 96.0 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.1 si, 0.0 st MiB Mem : 3936.2 total, 214.7 free, 2244.8 used, 1476.7 buff/cache MiB Swap: 1000.0 total, 500.3 free, 499.7 used. 1318.8 avail Mem Stats the next evening: top - 23:26:00 up 14 days, 9:17, 1 user, load average: 0.10, 0.06, 0.08 Tasks: 209 total, 1 running, 208 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu(s): 2.6 us, 1.7 sy, 0.0 ni, 95.2 id, 0.3 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.3 si, 0.1 st MiB Mem : 3936.2 total, 206.0 free, 2253.6 used, 1476.6 buff/cache MiB Swap: 1000.0 total, 485.9 free, 514.1 used. 1305.5 avail Mem Stats the following morning: top - 08:09:32 up 14 days, 18:01, 1 user, load average: 0.01, 0.07, 0.14 Tasks: 194 total, 1 running, 193 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu(s): 2.0 us, 1.4 sy, 0.0 ni, 96.6 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.1 si, 0.0 st MiB Mem : 3936.2 total, 270.6 free, 1974.5 used, 1691.2 buff/cache MiB Swap: 1000.0 total, 266.5 free, 733.5 used. 1545.1 avail Mem As you can see, something during the night is eating memory and not letting it go.

I am still seeing the erosion of a couple of MB of swap each day, but it’s WAY better than losing 250MB-350MB overnight. FYI for others who may see this. - Mark ----- mark(a)pdc-racing.net | 408-348-2878

Re: Mailman REST API not available. Please start Mailman Core.
by Shashikanth Komandoor July 23, 2020

July 23, 2020

Thank you Mark for your response. I understood that gunicorn is a front end that is used like web server like nginx. But I don't think I am using it instead I am using the httpd to redirect requests to postorius. And I am starting the mailman-suite with the command "python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 --insecure &". Hope this does not use gunicorn (which of course I don't know what it is until now). Please correct me if any point I am mentioning is wrong. So, in this case, do you think configuring gunicorn as below would work: *calling gunicorn.cfg in mailman.cfg as below * *[webservice]* *configuration: /var/lib/mailman/mailman/src/mailman/config/gunicorn.cfg* *and content of gunicorn.cfg as below* *(venv3) [root@lsmgr mailman]# cat /var/lib/mailman/mailman/src/mailman/config/gunicorn.cfg[gunicorn]# All the options that can be put here are available at# http://docs.gunicorn.org/en/stable/settings.html#settings <http://docs.gunicorn.org/en/stable/settings.html#settings># No of seconds to wait before killing the worker processes.* *workers = 4graceful_timeout = 90* Also what is the difference between timeout and graceful_timeout ?

Re: [ERROR] Error handling request List archivers
by Shashikanth Komandoor July 23, 2020

July 23, 2020

Thank you Mark for guiding me to the benefit of putting the list and so I have added the list. Along with the [archiver.hyperkitty], [mta] and [database], few lines of my mailman.cfg look like below: *[webservice]workers = 4timeout = 900* The above block of webservice is added yesterday for testing or trail as I am getting the above issue. And there is no line that is calling *gunicorn* in my mailman.cfg. Apart from that I tried to locate and see the content of the gunicorn.cfg file as below : *(venv3) [root@lsmgr mailman]# cat /var/lib/mailman/mailman/src/mailman/config/gunicorn.cfg[gunicorn]# All the options that can be put here are available at# http://docs.gunicorn.org/en/stable/settings.html#settings <http://docs.gunicorn.org/en/stable/settings.html#settings># No of seconds to wait before killing the worker processes.graceful_timeout = 30* Please confirm the time I have to change is *graceful_timeout *in *gunicorn.cfg* and if I have changed how do I restart the *gunicorn*. I have never used or never known about this *gunicorn* but still running the service in production.

migration plan and auto responder
by Mohsen Masoudfar July 23, 2020

July 23, 2020

Hi, I am writing this in the hope to get some good advises for migration lists from Mailman2 to Mailman3. Thanks a lot in advance. Here is the requirements: * During the migration the old system shouldn't process the emails for the list under migration in the normal way. It should send an email, and only one to the member who sent the original email to the list saying the list is under migration. I know I could do this by auto responder, but the original email would be processed and sent to all members, which I want to block . * After migration the old system should send, per auto responder again, an email to the member who sent to the list, mentioning the new address (the domain is a new one, the list name the same), but again not sending the original email to the list members. * No hackers, robots, spammers should get the new list address. The lists are all hidden. Best regards Mohsen Masoudfar Lead System Analyst, IT Operation American Association for the Advancement of Science 1200 New York Ave, NW, Washington, DC 20005 202-326-7087

Python 3.5 support?
by Joel Lord July 22, 2020

July 22, 2020

I'm looking through the recent changes to Core and Postorius and I keep spotting what looks like removal of the test cases for Python 3.5. Is the next release going to be dropping support for 3.5? Is this because 3.5 is going EOL shortly or because there are changes in the upcoming release that actively will not work on 3.5? -- Joel Lord

Docker Support Sucks
by Brian Carpenter July 22, 2020

July 22, 2020

Ok, now that I got that out of the way. Maybe I can get some help here for a Docker Installation of Mailman 3. I updated a Maxking's Docker installation to Postorius 1.3.3. It made my client's list unusable to a continual stream of removals due to ghost bounce processes. So, I want to totally move away from the use of Docker (mainly because I have found it buggy and the support is simply lacking) and install Mailman 3 for this client from source. However I need to get an export of their list members. But of course, I can't. Rest API times out and I don't know how to apply the instructions I was given to fix it and I don't have days to way for one. So please help. I increased the gunicorn workers to 4, hoping that would allow me to do the CSV export. No. So was given these instructions: ### The issues seems to be due to timeout not due to high load. You want to increase the timeout for gunicorn and you can do that by specifying a gunicorn.ini config file: [webservice] configuration: /path/to/gunicorn.cfg and then in the gunicorn.cfg you can add [gunicorn] timeout = 90 graceful_timeout = 30 ### I applied the above changes to /opt/mailman/core/mailman-extra.cfg and created the gunicorn.cfg file. Restarted the docker container (mailman-core) and no access to Postorius due to no REST api. After restarting docker-mailman, I can't access Postorius due to the following error: ERROR 2020-07-20 20:16:27,351 15 postorius Mailman REST API not available Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/urllib3/connection.py", line 160, in _new_conn (self._dns_host, self.port), self.timeout, **extra_kw File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/urllib3/util/connection.py", line 84, in create_connection raise err File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/urllib3/util/connection.py", line 74, in create_connection sock.connect(sa) ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 111] Connection refused During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 677, in urlopen chunked=chunked, File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 392, in _make_request conn.request(method, url, **httplib_request_kw) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/http/client.py", line 1254, in request self._send_request(method, url, body, headers, encode_chunked) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/http/client.py", line 1300, in _send_request self.endheaders(body, encode_chunked=encode_chunked) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/http/client.py", line 1249, in endheaders self._send_output(message_body, encode_chunked=encode_chunked) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/http/client.py", line 1036, in _send_output self.send(msg) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/http/client.py", line 974, in send self.connect() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/urllib3/connection.py", line 187, in connect conn = self._new_conn() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/urllib3/connection.py", line 172, in _new_conn self, "Failed to establish a new connection: %s" % e urllib3.exceptions.NewConnectionError: <urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7f96340a2e10>: Failed to establish a new con$ During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/requests/adapters.py", line 449, in send timeout=timeout File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 725, in urlopen Commenting out "configuration: /opt/mailman/gunicorn.cfg" brings Postorius back up.

Fwd: HOWTO: Mailman 3 Equivalent of "Accept: @all"
by Abhilash Raj July 21, 2020

July 21, 2020

Please use the mailman-users(a)mailman3.org list for questions related to Mailman 3 usage. Abhilash ----- Original message ----- From: "hmills(a)t-online.de" <hmills(a)t-online.de> To: "mailman-users-owner(a)mailman3.org" <mailman-users-owner(a)mailman3.org> Subject: HOWTO: Mailman 3 Equivalent of "Accept: @all" Date: Tuesday, July 21, 2020 9:31 AM Greetings, I have a question concerning usage of mailman3 (not an installation issue). Previously we used mailman2 & changed to mailman3 some months ago. "We" being a sports club located in Northern Germany. I guess I'm the "List Administrator" & "Moderator" - a colleague is the "Site Administrator". We use a number of maillists - one for "all" members and further ones e.g. for "instructors", "juniors" and so on. With mailman 2 it was possible to add "Accept: @all" in the configuration of the smaller maillists such as "instructors" thus enabling any club member to mail to the "instructors" but mails amongst the "instructors" remained just with themselves. Up to now we cannot do this with mailman3 which means I have to frequently approve mails (with the associated delay). I'm told (but not "how to do it") that with the recent update to mailman3 which our Site Administrator has installed it should be possible to do the "Accept: @all" mechanism - or similar. Could some kind soul please simply explain how I can achieve this? Best Wishes Howard -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

Mail going to Held Messaging even the moderation is set to Accept Immediately
by Shashikanth Komandoor July 21, 2020

July 21, 2020

Hi Team, I am currently running Mailman 3 with version 3.3.1 and in built postfix version 2.10.1-6 on RHEL 7.5 in production environment from the past 2 months almost. Recently I observed a peculiar case. There is a list say testlist(a)lists.testdom.com has a member say testuser(a)testdom.com whose Moderation attribute is set to "Accept immediately (bypass all other rules)". It is expected that the mail should be delivered to the recipients without being held irrespective of the body content as per my knowledge. (Correct me if I am wrong). But the mail went to "held messages" and is waiting for pending approval. The same user if he sends a normal and simple test mail, it is getting delivered automatically without coming to the "held message". And the same mail (which went to "held messages") is tried to be sent by another member whose moderation attribute is also set to "Accept immediately" only but observed the same effect as the message going to the "held messages". As per my understanding on Mailman 3, if the moderation attribute is set to "Accept immediately (bypass all other rules)" then without checking any rules, it should be delivered to the recipients of the list irrespective of the message or body of the message but is there any such checking if the body content or subject or any thing else is checked even if the moderation bit is set to "Accept immediately". Please help me to resolve this issue. Also, please let me know if I need to share any details. -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936 <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

Sudden increase in "***UNCHECKED***" in email subjects
by Dave Clements July 20, 2020

July 20, 2020

Hi all, I have just noticed a big jump in the number of emails going out with "***UNCHECKED***" added to the subject line. Some of these are from users who had their moderation set to "Accept Immediately," but even after I change that to "Default processing" I am still getting those messages. The default action for members is "Default processing" Any ideas what settings I am missing? Thanks, Dave C -- https://bcc2020.github.io/ https://galaxyproject.org/

Confusing mailman user model
by Gilles Filippini July 19, 2020

July 19, 2020

Hi, I'm trying to understand the Mailman user model, and I'm confused about the respective roles of tables 'auth_user' and 'user'. Both have an 'id' column referred to as 'user_id' when used as a foreign key. But there seems to be no relation at all between them as they use different ids for the same user. Our mailman server was migrated from mailman2 to mailman3 about 1.5 year ago, and there is an inconsistency I'd like to fix: 2 of our users have a registered Mailman account with their respective email addresses in table 'auth_user', but these very same addresses in the 'address' table are linked to another old admin account in the 'user' table. Then if add one of these addresses as a domain owner, it it the old admin address which is selected instead. How could I fix that? Thanks in advance, _g.

Hi there, i also deleted the website example.com, while I tried to configure my mailman 3 site. Now I get a Server-error, when I try to open my mailman3 sites: "An error occurred while processing your request" I tried to fix this problem by changing the SITE_ID=2 in my settings_local.py. But nothing helped, also the SITE_ID=0 did change nothing. I made a "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart" to ensure, that the settings are loaded again, but it didnt help. Is there anything I can do, besides reinstalling all django and mailman 3? Mailman Version 3.2.1, Python 2.7.16, Django 1.11.28 Thanks for any hints :-) Wolfgang

The Use of Hyperkitty as a Forum and Archiver
by Brian Carpenter July 15, 2020

July 15, 2020

Dear Mailman 3 Users, Since Mailman 3 includes a forum feature via Hyperkitty, I would like to know the following: - Has the forum feature (Hyperkitty) of MM3 been received well by your list members or is it mostly ignored? - Do you see an increase in the use of HK as a forum from your list members? - What kind of feedback have you received from your list members considering the forum function of MM3? Positive or negative? - Do you think HK is received well by your list members as an archiver and do you think it provides a better user experience for viewing/searching archives vs Pipermail of MM2? Thank you for anything you shared. I am very curious to know the state of Hyperkitty among the Mailman 3 user community. -- Please let me know if you need further assistance. Thank you for your business. We appreciate our clients.

mailman3 does not send to the members of the lists
by maszap＠tin.it July 12, 2020

July 12, 2020

Goodmorning everyone, I'm setting up a mail server to manage a mailinglist. I installed mailman3-full and configured everything. I can create a list, add members to the list, but when I create a new thread, I only get it on the email from the same domain as the list. While all the other members of the list, they do not receive the thread. I tried to check the logs, but I don't see anything significant. What can I check? Thank you in advance Max

Mail control not given from Mailman 3 to postfix
by Shashikanth Komandoor July 12, 2020

July 12, 2020

Hi Team, I am currently running Mailman 3 with version 3.3.1 and in built postfix version 2.10.1-6 on RHEL 7.5 in production environment from the past 2 months almost. Recently I observed a peculiar case. There is a list say testlist(a)lists.testdom.com has a non member say testuser(a)testdom.com whose Moderation attribute is set to "Accept immediately (bypass all other rules). This testuser(a)testdom.com has sent a mail to testlist(a)lists.testdom.com and postfix of my Maliman 3 received the request and handed over to Mailman at 0.0.0.0:8024 socket running on the same machine and the same is logged in /var/log/maillog. Since the user has the moderation attribute set to Accept, the /var/lib/mailman/mailman/var/logs/vette.log also displayed "ACCEPT" on searching with the same message id. At this point, to my expectations, there should be 2 entries for this message id in smtp.log one for smtp and one for post. But I don't find any log records with this message id in smtp.log and of course the mail is not delivered even. Could you please help me out if I have missed any point or improperly understood the mail flow while using the mailman 3? Please also let me know if I need to see any more log files for tracing the issue. -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936 <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

ARC
by David Krantz July 11, 2020

July 11, 2020

Hi, A completely different question: Is there anyone that has a working non-naive setup for ARC signing of mail list mail in mailman? I've tried both the built-in version but it was not usable in the version I tried for the case where there are several domains with different selectors and keys and where the outgoing mail also is DKIM-signed. This might be that the documentation is lacking but a very shallow look in the source gave me the impression that the implementation is limited to one domain which is not enough for my use case as I have lists in several domains. I use DKIM on outgoing mail with a setup where each domain has its own keys and selectors. As discussed here earlier, the DKIM signature should be added before the ARC signature. I have tried to use rspamd after a tip here for this but without luck so far, but this is somewhat off topic for mailman although related of course. rspamd seems very good for other purposes and solves my other problems with greylisting, DKIM-signing and spam filtering. That said, ARC seems difficult to get to work for forwarded mails there also... cheers // David

Update a member's display_name
by Nick Wynja July 8, 2020

July 8, 2020

Hi all, I want to update some list member's display_name either with mailman shell or mailmanclient. These mostly aren't users in Postorius so I only want to operate on the subscribed list member. I've tried everything I can find in the docs and am stuck. I've tried using `user_manager.get_user()` and then updating `user.display_name` followed by a `commit()` but it doesn't seem to persist the change. The `absorb_existing` flag for mailmanclient's `User.add_address()` looks promising but the docs read "It will import the existing user into the current one, not overwriting any previously set value." which in some cases, the member already has a display_name set. I haven't tried this yet. I'd appreciate any help pointing in the right direction. Thanks, Nick

Bounce handling after upgrade
by David Krantz July 8, 2020

July 8, 2020

Hi, I am in the process of configuring a new mailman3 server based on my old one. This includes upgrading to the latest version of mailman and installing a database upgrade. To my surprise mailman core started by sending tens of mails and blocking the corresponding users for very old bounces. What is worse is that this happens every time I start mailman core. Now I have blocked (almost) all outgoing mail in postfix using a transport map which discards it but this is a temporary testing measure of course. When I deploy this server into production, I do not want these recipients to be blocked as the old problems have been solved since very long. My plan is to reload the database from a newer backup anyway... Would it be enough to empty the bounce table (bounceevent) or is there anything else driving this behaviour? Or is there a better way to do this via the mailman shell? For me a "delete from bounceevent" seems a lot simpler than anything via the shell but there may be dependencies in the database. Cheers // David

Importing list archives
by Mark Dadgar July 7, 2020

July 7, 2020

So I got a shiny new instance of Mailman3 installed (thanks Brian!). I recreated my lists and I am now importing large historical list archives from an mbox file (24GB). It takes a couple of hours to run this import, so I killed the import task after about 20 minutes so I could restart it in a screen session. Now when I restart the import, it finishes almost immediately: (venv) mailman@mail:/opt/mailman/mm$ /opt/mailman/mm/bin/django-admin hyperkitty_import -l trackjunkies(a)pdc-racing.net trackjunkies.mbox Importing from mbox file trackjunkies.mbox to trackjunkies(a)pdc-racing.net Computing thread structure Synchronizing properties with Mailman Warming up cache The full-text search index is not updated for this list. It will not be updated by the 'minutely' incremental update job. To update the index for this list, run the Django admin command with arguments 'update_index_one_list trackjunkies(a)pdc-racing.xn--net-to0a. (venv) mailman@mail:/opt/mailman/mm$ Which is clearly not correct. Anyone have an idea on how to restart this import? THanks! - Mark ----- mark(a)pdc-racing.net | 408-348-2878

Using external services for deliverability?
by tom＠gather.coop July 4, 2020

July 4, 2020

I have a Mailman 3 server up and running but I'm terrified to migrate to it from my existing Mailman 2 provider for fear that services like Gmail will randomly start blacklisting my IP with little I can do about it. I have SPF records set up so I'm hoping I'll be Ok but I'd like to have a backup plan. Has anyone ever tried using an external service like Mailgun or Sendgrid as a relay? I tried both but couldn't get either to work due to their sender authentication mechanism. They want all 'From:' headers to be from domains that are pre-authenticated as senders. But Mailman keeps the 'From' header from the original sender so it won't match any authenticated domains. Right? Is there anything to be done here or do I just have to migrate and pray?

hidden list is hidden even to the owner
by Mohsen Masoudfar July 2, 2020

July 2, 2020

Hi, I am not sure, if it is designed this way, or I am doing something wrong. I created a list in MM3 as a hidden list, meaning: Show list on index page: NO and assigned the owner. When I login as Postorius web admin, I see the list on the list page which is listed as: (unadvertised*). This is fine. But when the owner or moderator login to Postorius they don't see the list at all. Of course if they add the list name at the end of the URL, they get to the list and as the owner can manage it too. My question is: I am just not sure, if I am missing something or this is how it is supposed to work? You could expect, that the owner or the moderator should see the list as (unadvertised*) too.

clarifying configuration
by trewtus+200629maitr＠gmail.com June 30, 2020

June 30, 2020

Hey Team, I'm new to Mailman and after some failed attempts to install from git on CentOS8, I have just installed it on Ubuntu 20.04 using mostly aptitude. But it's not quite working and I want to increase the log level to better understand the problem. I did see another post that suggested that I add to /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg [logging.template] level: debug But that doesn't work for me. For example, after using that `mailman conf` doesn't list and debug values and as far as I can tell, the service, even after restarting, is not logging any more than it was. On the other hand, if I add [logging.smtp] level: debug Invoking `mailman conf` will reflect that new loglevel. This started me down the path of trying to figure out the configuration system of mailman in hope that that will save me time down the road. I have read https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/config/docs/config.html but that doesn't seem to agree with what I'm seeing. For an additional example, my mailman.cfg file has a "logging.debian" section, but I don't see that section listed in the `mailman conf` output. Why would that be? I don't see in the documentation if `mailman conf` only sees values after the service is restarted. Nevertheless, restarting mailman hasn't helped. What guidance can you give? Context: `mailman info` produces: GNU Mailman 3.2.2 (La Villa Strangiato) Python 3.8.2 (default, Apr 27 2020, 15:53:34) [GCC 9.3.0] config file: /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg db url: sqlite:////var/lib/mailman3/data/mailman.db devmode: DISABLED REST root url: http://localhost:8001/3.1/ REST credentials: restadmin:KI5TuWE/v.....

Moderation of posts via email is not working in mailman 3
by Shashikanth Komandoor June 30, 2020

June 30, 2020

Hi Team, In mailman 2, few of my users used to approve the held messages through the mail by writing Approved: header and the password of the list in the first line of the reply mail to the "confirm" attachment in the mail notification of the held messages. But after I started migrating my distribution lists from mailman 2 to mailman 3, my users are complaining that they could not approve the posts or the held messages through the mail as they usually do while they were browsing their lists in mailman 2. Is there any bug or limitation in mailman 3 or if I am doing any wrong at the server side? Please suggest. -- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936 <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

If one of my users (including admin) goes to their user drop-down in the upper-right of Postorius and clicks Mailman Settings, it triggers an error: Here’s the error log: Internal Server Error: /mailman3/postorius/accounts/subscriptions/ KeyError at /postorius/accounts/subscriptions/ 'file' Request Method: GET Request URL: https://mail.pdc-racing.net/mailman3/postorius/accounts/subscriptions/ <https://mail.pdc-racing.net/mailman3/postorius/accounts/subscriptions/> Django Version: 2.2.12 Python Executable: /usr/bin/uwsgi-core Python Version: 3.8.2 Python Path: ['.', '', '/usr/lib/python38.zip', '/usr/lib/python3.8', '/usr/lib/python3.8/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages'] Server time: Tue, 16 Jun 2020 10:31:56 -0700 Installed Applications: ('hyperkitty', 'postorius', 'django_mailman3', 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.sites', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', 'rest_framework', 'django_gravatar', 'compressor', 'haystack', 'django_extensions', 'django_q', 'allauth', 'allauth.account', 'allauth.socialaccount', 'django_mailman3.lib.auth.fedora') Installed Middleware: ('django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware', 'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware', 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware', 'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware', 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware', 'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware', 'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware', 'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware', 'django_mailman3.middleware.TimezoneMiddleware', 'postorius.middleware.PostoriusMiddleware') Traceback: File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/exception.py" in inner 34. response = get_response(request) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py" in _get_response 115. response = self.process_exception_by_middleware(e, request) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py" in _get_response 113. response = wrapped_callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/contrib/auth/decorators.py" in _wrapped_view 21. return view_func(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/postorius/views/user.py" in user_subscriptions 307. memberships = [m for m in mm_user.subscriptions] File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailmanclient/restobjects/user.py" in subscriptions 62. for address in self.addresses: File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/base.py" in __iter__ 221. for entry in self.rest_data: File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/base.py" in rest_data 197. response, content = self._connection.call(self._url) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailmanclient/restbase/connection.py" in call 99. raise HTTPError(url, response.status, content, response, None) During handling of the above exception (HTTP Error 500: b'A server error occurred.

Server 500 error for just one list, just one page
by kelly.close＠lrewater.com June 28, 2020

June 28, 2020

I am having a curious problem with just ONE list management page for ONE list on my server. Every other list I've checked, and every other management page for this affected list, seem fine. But when I go to the Subscribers page for this one list I get a Server 500 error, and I can't find anything in the apache or mailman logs to give me a clue (granted I'm not sure I know for sure where all the different logs are). So specifically this page: https://udfcd-lists.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/alarms-all.udfcd-lists.org… For a list called "alarms-all" obviously. Any ideas? I'm able to review the list, it's members, etc in the PostsgreSQL tables and I'm not seeing any members with funky characters in their address - the one thing I could think of to check. Thanks, ~Kelly

Null sender?
by tom＠gather.coop June 28, 2020

Does Mailman generally send email with a null sender? This is what I see in the log: Jun 28 02:37:45 2020 (14588) ('127.0.0.1', 52726) handling connection Jun 28 02:37:45 2020 (14588) ('127.0.0.1', 52726) Data: b'LHLO mail.example.coop' Jun 28 02:37:45 2020 (14588) ('127.0.0.1', 52726) Data: b'MAIL FROM:<>' Jun 28 02:37:45 2020 (14588) ('127.0.0.1', 52726) sender: <> Jun 28 02:37:45 2020 (14588) ('127.0.0.1', 52726) Data: b'RCPT TO:<techque-bounces(a)example.org>' Jun 28 02:37:45 2020 (14588) ('127.0.0.1', 52726) recip: techque-bounces(a)example.org Jun 28 02:37:45 2020 (14588) ('127.0.0.1', 52726) Data: b'DATA' Jun 28 02:37:45 2020 (14588) ('127.0.0.1', 52726) Data: b'QUIT' Notice the empty MAIL FROM. Sendgrid seems to be choking on that because it needs to check if sending domain has been validated. If there is no sending domain it seems to reject. Why does Mailman do this? Can it be changed? I've been trying to find the relevant section of the code to no avail.

Hyperkitty 403 Forbidden Error
by Phil Thompson June 25, 2020

June 25, 2020

I'm in the process of setting up mailman3. The only problem I seem to be having is getting Hyperkitty to archive messages. Rather than the authorisation problems people have previously asked about on the list, I am getting a 403 error... Aug 05 15:38:40 2019 (10229) HyperKitty failure on http://localhost/mailman3/hyperkitty/api/mailman/urls: <html><title>Forbidden</title><body> <h1>Access is forbidden</h1></body></html> (403) Aug 05 15:38:58 2019 (10222) HyperKitty failure on http://localhost/mailman3/hyperkitty/api/mailman/archive: <html><title>Forbidden</title><body> <h1>Access is forbidden</h1></body></html> (403) Any suggestions would be appreciated. Phil

HyperKitty failure

June 24, 2020

Hi, in mailman log I found: Jun 20 17:36:49 2020 (1269) HyperKitty failure on http://localhost/mailman3/hyperkitty/api/mailman/urls: <html><title>Forbidden</title><body> <h1>Access is forbidden</h1></body></html> (403) Jun 20 17:36:49 2020 (1263) HyperKitty failure on http://localhost/mailman3/hyperkitty/api/mailman/archive: (405) Jun 20 17:36:49 2020 (1263) Exception in the HyperKitty archiver: Jun 20 17:36:49 2020 (1263) 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 And checking archive list I notice nothing has been added. Is it a permission issue (where?) or something else? Thanks in advance. -- Gelpi ing.
