[Mailman-Users] Help with one of Mark's scripts

[Bruce Johnson]

I'm trying to run the nonmembers_modify-py script here 
https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/non_members

but keep getting the error that the lists are non-existent.

I’m trying to add a non-member accept to a bunch of our Class_of lists:

[root@dhbmailman1 bin]# ./list_lists | grep Class
  Class_of_21 - Generated from Oracle
  Class_of_21_phx - Generated from Oracle
  Class_of_21_tuc - Generated from Oracle
  Class_of_22 - Generated from Oracle

  Class_of_23_tuc - Generated from Oracle
  Class_of_24 - Generated from Oracle
  Class_of_24_phx - Generated from Oracle
  Class_of_24_tuc - Generated from Oracle

I've tried both ./nonmembers_modify.py -l Class_of_21_tuc -f accept -a 
address@to_add and ./nonmembers_modify.py -l 
class_of_21_...@pharmacy.arizona.edu -f accept -a address@to_add

And both get the error Non-existent list

[root@dhbmailman1 bin]# ./nonmember_modify.py -l Class_of_21_tuc -f accept -a 
addr...@pharmacy.arizona.edu -v
Add or remove addresses to/from *_these_nonmembers

Usage: ./nonmember_modify.py [options]

[Mailman-Users] Help with header Approved moderate message

[Ivan Tejeiro Izquierdo]

Hi:

Can you change the header "Approved: password" for the approval of moderated 
messages, and change it to another word?

For example, approve moderated messages with the word "OK" and without having 
to specify a password.

Thank you so much.

Regards.

[Mailman-Users] Help with 'The message has no valid senders'

[McGuire, Tommy M. (MSFC-IS90)[EAST2] via Mailman-Users]

We recently installed Mailman 3 to replace an existing Mailman 2 installation 
with a large number of lists and users.  I'm now seeing a number of users on 
specific lists whose posts result in:

May 18 14:25:41 2021 (112570) DISCARD: 
; ['The 
message has no valid senders']

The post have sender addresses, which are members or owners of the lists, and 
as far as I can tell, the users are valid. Can anyone shed any light on why a 
post wouldn't have a valid sender?

[Mailman-Users] Help with Topics

[Chip Davis]

I'm trying to set up Topics for a Mailman 2.1.33 list I administer, 
and I'm a tad confused.


There appears to be no combination of options to allow a member of a 
list to see _only_ non-topic-specific postings.


If you select one or more topics of interest, you will receive the 
postings under those topics.  You will not receive any 
_topic-specific_ postings that do not match your selections.  
Furthermore, if you have also set "Do you want to receive messages 
that do not match any topic filter?" to 'Yes', you will also receive 
all messages that are _not_ associated with a topic.  Otherwise, you 
will receive _only_ the postings associated with your selected 
topics.  (This appears to function as expected.)


However, if you have not selected any topics, you will receive all 
postings, whether topic-specific or not, regardless the setting of "Do 
you want to receive messages that do not match any topic filter?".


I would like to offer the members of my lists the option of receiving:
  1. All of the postings to the list [All topic categories selected + 
no-match filter=Yes]
  2. Specific topics and all non-topic postings [At least one topic 
category selected + no-match filter=Yes]
  3. Specific topics only [At least one topic category selected + 
no-match filter=No]
  4. Only _non-topic_ postings [No topic categories selected + 
no-match filter=No]


Apparently that is not the heuristic being applied.  If no topic 
categories are selected, the no-match filter setting is ignored (i.e. 
defaults to 'Yes') effectively delivering all listserver traffic to 
that user, and eliminating option 4.  This is "as documented" and 
embarrassingly empirically demonstrated.  :-/


There seems to be no obvious way to say "I want to see only those 
postings that are not topic-specific".


If I put the list's subject_prefix in as the Topic1 regexp (escaped as 
necessary), would the member be able to select it and specify 
'no-match filter=No' to receive _only_ the non-topic-specific 
postings?  (I would test this question myself, but see "embarrassingly 
empirically demonstrated", above.)


If this question has already been addressed in a document somewhere, 
please point me to it.


Thanks!

Exactly. Postfix thinks it is the delivery agent for all mail to any of
the domains in mydestination which includes localhost.

Is that all of master.cf? If there is an entry

smtp  inet  n   -   y   -   -   smtpd

you might try removing that, or remove the 'localhost' entries from
mydestination.

[Mailman-Users] Help needed using postfix as an outbound gateway for Mailman

[David Gibbs]

Folks:

I need some help diagnosing a problem using postfix as my outbound mail server 
with Mailman.

Up front I want to say, I have this working FINE with my current mailman list 
server.  I'm in the process of moving my list server to an AWS lightsail 
instance.

And, yes, I know that I could use postfix as both the inbound & outbound mail 
server ... which I probably should do, but I'm far more familiar with using sendmail 
and have it setup & working fine on my current list server.

I've got just about everything setup and working fine.

The problem is, I'm seeing this in my mail log...

Nov 15 15:41:43 lists postfix/smtp[18136]: AA76A61E61: 
to=, relay=none, delay=0.01, 
delays=0/0/0/0, dsn=5.4.6, status=bounced (mail for localhost loops back to myself)

It _appears_ that postfix thinks it's the mail server for lists.atestdomain.net 
and can't deliver the mail because it doesn't know how to deliver the message.

Here's my current setup:

I have sendmail listening on the public SMTP ports on the server. I have postfix 
listening on localhost:24. Mailman is configured with the SMTPHOST & SMTPPORT set 
to localhost & 24.

So mail is received by sendmail, sent to & processed by Mailman, and Mailman 
sends the mail out by connecting to postfix on localhost:24.

The list mail is being delivered fine ... but bounces are not getting processed 
correctly.

I have the domain lists.atestdomain.net listed in the transport map indicating 
that mail for that domain should be sent to localhost:25.

You can see a relatively complete log fragment at 
https://code.midrange.com/e665e40f93.html

Here's (what I think are) the relevant postfix config file entries ...

main.cf:

myhostname = listmail.arealdomain.com
mydomain = $myhostname
myorigin = $mydomain
inet_interfaces = localhost
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport

transport:
lists.atestdomain.net smtp:localhost:25
listmail.arealdomain.com smtp:localhost:25

master.cf
24  inet  n   -   n   -   -   smtpd

Any suggestions on what to look at?

Hi Matthew,

I would strongly suggest having your own local storage space for this.
However, I would recommend reading the documentation pertaining to system
requirements before proceeding.

It depends You can hire a setup from some ISPs which are ready to go, 
otherwise, you need a system to run mailman; that could be a VM, 
amazon-hosted instance, or a standalone machine. Have you looked at the 
mailman FAQ? (link in the message footer)


Also, 'listserv' is a name/trademark for a different mailing list manager (MLM).

Probably. You will need some form of hosting or you will need a
dedicated IP and your own server that you can manage and keep up all the
time. Getting set up with hosting is probably easier. Many web hosting
providers include Mailman as a part of their package, which may make
this even easier.

Do you currently have a web site and a domain that this mailing list
would be relevant to?

In RHEL, it's /var/spool/mailman/ (see ).

So the issue was a locked list. See 
for more on locks, but those file names are  if the form
.lock... so what yo call 'digits' is the
pid of the process waiting on the lock. If there is no file named just
.lock, the list isn't locked and all the other
.lock.* files are orphans and their pids are probably gone, so
just remove them.

Actually, when these files are created, they are created with a time
stamp in the future which represents the expiration of the lock lifetime
so that probably is when the list was no longer locked and things
cleared up.

As far as what caused it, that's hard to say, but one strong possibility
is there was an interaction with the list's admin or admindb UI that was
timed out by the web server and left the list locked.

Those are orphaned held messages, probably orphaned when you deleted and
recreated the list. You can look at them with Mailman's bin/dumpdb and
if you want them, you can reprocess them with the script at

Re: [Mailman-Users] Help with mailman instance in broken state

[Kevin Bowen]

So the issue seems to have resolved itself over night - there's no longer a
qrunner process taking 99% cpu, the list's admin interface is accessible,
and it's no longer rewriting its config.pck every few seconds, so I think
that means the list is now fine (although there hasn't yet been any traffic
through it so I'm not 100% sure). Even if resolved, I'd like to figure out
what happened so it doesn't happen again. To answer your questions:

>Which runner?

I remember the process had qrunner in its command line, but since it's gone
now I can't tell you in any more detail.

>What's in the various mailman/qfiles/* queues.

I don't seem to have that directory? I'm running v2.1.9 on RHEL5, do you
know where it would be located?

>What's in Mailman's logs?

The only thing relvant-seeming we were able to find in the logs was a
mention in vette that a message was being held for moderation, and then a

Ok, now this is interesting: there are 6 files in /var/lock/mailman named
.lock.announce.ucsd.edu..0 They have timestamps between 3
and 4 in the morning, which is probably around the time the issue cleared
up. Looking in /var/log/mailman/locks I see, starting right around the time
the problem started yesterday, a bunch of stack traces with
".lock lifetime has expired, breaking" and ".lock
unexpected linkcount: -1"

Also, I notice that in /var/lib/mailman/data, there are currently 4 files
called heldmsg--.pck, although the admin interface says
there are currently no messages being held for moderation. Does that mean
anything?

I think the "duplicate" post I rejected mentioned a qrunner at 99% cpu.

Which runner? What's in the various mailman/qfiles/* queues.

What's in Mailman's logs?

What's in Mailman's locks directory? See .

[Mailman-Users] Help with mailman instance in broken state

[Kevin Bowen]

My mailman instance (2.1.9) has gotten into a funky broken state where one
of my lists has become inoperable, with a message which should be awaiting
moderation, but the moderator never got notified. The list's config appears
to be corrupt - attempting to load the admin web interface results in a
timeouts (the archive and basic listinfo pages still work, and the admin
interface for all other lists work). When I look in
/var/lib/mailman/lists/,
I can see that mailman is continually rewriting config.pck every few
seconds.

I attempted to fix the issue by restoring the contents of
/var/lib/mailman/lists/ from the previous day's backup, and that
got the config into a working state such that it was possible to load the
web admin interface for the list, but as soon as I started back up the
mailman service, it got right back into the same broken state.

Next I tried deleting the list with rmlist, then recreating it and
importing its config and membership with config_list and sync_members, but
again, as soon as I restart the mailman service, it gets right back into
the same broken state.

Any ideas how to fix this?

This is very strange. It is saying that in the statement

evictions = db.setdefault('evictions', {})

in Pending.py, db is a Message object. I think the only way this could
happen is if the lists/LISTNAME/pending.pck file is a pickled Message
object rather than a pending database. How that would happen, I don't know.

You could dump this file with Mailman's bin/dumpdb and see what it is,
but the simple fix is just remove the file.

It does.  I did try compiling the original configuration file I
used to create the list and there were no syntax errors.  But
then I would expect a config file with syntax errors not to be
accepted when creating a new list.


To "fix" the problem just move the lists/LISTNAME directory
containing the config.pck and perhaps a few other files out of
the lists/ directory.


That worked and was my first instinct, but I didn't know if that
might cause other issues -- having a list directory that Mailman
was 'expecting' to suddenly be gone.  In any case, moving the
list's own subdirectory out of `~mailman/lists` directory got the
`list_lists` command line and `mailman/listinfo` web page working
again.

So the good news is that it was definitely this new list that
threw a spanner into the machinery, and not some other mysterious
event.

Thanks for the fix.  The files you requested are on the way.

It is not clear what went wrong or how or why, but there is bad data in
this list's topics attribute.

To "fix" the problem just move the lists/LISTNAME directory containing
the config.pck and perhaps a few other files out of the lists/ directory.

However, I would be interested in knowing what's wrong and how it
happened. Unfortunately, this issue probably prevents even running
withlist on this list. I.e., Mailman's 'bin/withlist LISTNAME' will
probably throw the same error.

You could help me however by sending me off list the
lists/LISTNAME/config.pck and lists/LISTNAME/config.pck.last files, and
also, if you can recall, telling what you entered in the list's topics
that precipitated this.

We are working on setting up mailman-users at mailman3.org (running on

In the mean time the best list for Mailman 3 and particularly
HyperKitty, Postorius and MailmanBundler issues is
mailman-develop...@python.org or you can try the #mailman IRC channel on

 OK, but the /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/i18n.py file in your installed
 Mailman doesn't look like the one distributed by GNU Mailman nor does it
 look like the one from RHEL 5 that I happen to have.

 So either something went wrong with your package install, or you will
 have to pursue this with Red Hat/Centos.

 Or, you could try downliading i18n.py from
 
 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/2.1/view/head:/Mailman/i18n.py
 
 and replacing yours with that. That will probably get you past the
 current issue, but there may be other things wrong.

Re: [Mailman-Users] help with error on start

Thanks Mark for you answer. I installed from a tutorial with this command
(Centos 6.6)

 yum --enablerepo=remi install mailman  (Ver 3:2.1.12-18.el6 )

 Something is wrong here. The Mailman/i18n.py distributed by the GNU

 How did you install Mailman? Where did /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/i18n.py
 come from? If this is a 'package', see http://wiki.list.org/x/12812344.

OK, but the /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/i18n.py file in your installed
Mailman doesn't look like the one distributed by GNU Mailman nor does it
look like the one from RHEL 5 that I happen to have.

So either something went wrong with your package install, or you will
have to pursue this with Red Hat/Centos.

Or, you could try downliading i18n.py from
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/2.1/view/head:/Mailman/i18n.py
and replacing yours with that. That will probably get you past the
current issue, but there may be other things wrong.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Help with ONE broken list (Mailman 2.1.9) - part 2

My best guess is something backported the DMARC mitigations into your

older lists, but whether or not a list gets updated by this process
depends on the list's data_version being less than the DATA_FILE_VERSION
defined in Mailman/Version.py.

So, still guessing but, the backport incremented DATA_FILE_VERSION so
all the existing lists got updated except the list that came from the
2.1.14 Mailman that already had a data_version = the new DATA_FILE_VERSION.

To fix this, do the following:

bin/withlist -l problem_list_name
(responses from withlist ending with prompt)
 m.data_version = 1
 m.Save()
 - control-D here to exit

If I am correct, that will fix the problem, and If it is something else,
no harm will be done.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I did try it, and it actually did make things 
worse, though I've been able to get back to the previous (yet still broken) 
state. 

It appears to me that something within 
/lib/mailman/lists/problem-list/config.pck is the problem child.  I'd be happy 
to remove and re-create the list with good settings.  But I _must_ have the 
subscribers including their bounce status, digest-status, the real-names 
they've entered through the Mailman confirmation page, etc.etc.  Is there a way 
to do this in Mailman 2.1.9?  (Remembering that I have a working version of the 
list on a restored snapshot of the server, where everthing actually does work.)

I say this based on the results of applying the change Mark suggested, and 
recovering from the troubles it caused.  Sorry to include all the gory details 
below, and thanks to anyone who is brave enough to read to the end

Thanks Again,

Before applying the change Mark suggested, I thought I'd at least capture what

After applying the change to the one list, I got this:

As I said, I thought it would be OK, but you get this if data_version is
= 10. So you need to set it bigger than that. Actually, in your case,
anything between 11 and 96 will do, but set it to 96.

[Mailman-Users] Help with ONE broken list (Mailman 2.1.9)

[Drew Tenenholz]

Hi all --

I'm hoping you can make some suggestions on hot to get a broken list working 
again.  Here's the basic details.

Mailman 2.1.9
RHEL 5.x
I have root access to the VM running our lists.

The problem was caused by an IT Dept. standard RHEL update on April 21.  
Somehow, this update managed to revert some file back to an earlier state, 
breaking just ONE of my lists.  This was a list I migrated from a different 
mailman server  on March 31  (v2.1.14 installed from source on Mac OS X - so 
not the Apple distribution).  All of the other lists which were in place before 
March 31 are just fine.

For certain, /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases was replaced with an earlier version 
(I can't tell you how long it took to find this out), and the newest 
aliases from the migration were removed.  So, I replaced them, and restarted 
both mailman and postfix, but no joy.

Now, I've been struggling through trying to get the rest of the configuration 
to work.  Here are some sample problems:

1) http://list.name.tld/mailman/admin/list-name/general page will not load, 
giving the Oops, we've hit a bug mailman/python error.  Oddly enough, I can 
manually type in the correct URL for things like the list members or language 
options and those pages DO load.

2) I've probably broken a lot of common sense rules, but I've replaced the 
/var/lib/mailman/lists/list-name/config.pck file with the one I used during the 
migration.  That not only doesn't fix the list, it seems to reset the list 
admin password (which i can now fix with change_pw), the URL (which I can fix 
with bin/withlist -l -r fix_url list-name -v).  but, as I said, the list is 
still showing all the problems as before.

3) For unknown reasons, /bin/config_list -o will not complete.


So, I got the IT folks to actually restore a snapshot of the machine to a 
DIFFERENT VM, and frustratingly enough, that version of the list seems to work 
fine.  I can even copy over the config.pck from the damaged list into this 
April 4 snapshot, and it WORKS!  (Grrr)  I can also export the 
configuration from this newly restored and munged setup back onto the 
production machine, and it FAILS.


On the production machine, bin/check_db and bin/check_perms both run without 
reporting any problems.

If it makes any difference at all, this list is set to run with RUSSIAN 
CYRILLIC (KOI8-R) as the default language, so when I export the members list 
with full names, all I get are ???.  

I'd prefer to not only have the working list, but working archives, and the 
correct subscriber list as of the date things started to go worky.

Then, I hope to restore all of the shunted messages that were clogging up the 
entire system most of which were pending messages for the damaged list, and 
clear out that queue.

If you have gotten this far:
1) THANK YOU.
2) As you can see, this is a VERY ACTIVE mailman install.  It probably sends 
500,000 mails/day to 70,000 subscribers on 12-15 lists, and also has to handle 
50-100 confirmation requests/day with people constantly adding/removing 
themselves.  Sort of like trying to sip out of a fire hose

Thinks in Advance,
Drew Tenenholz

It depends what you mean by API. There is the command you show above,
and there are the underlying things that rmlist does, but I suspect you
want to know if there is a way to remove a list from Mailman's GUI.

If you set

OWNERS_CAN_DELETE_THEIR_OWN_LISTS = Yes

in mm_cfg.py, every page in Mailman's admin GUI will have a Delete this
mailing list (requires confirmation) link under Other Administrative
Activities. Without this setting, the link is not there and attempts to
remove a list via the http(s)://example.com/mailman/rmlist/LISTNAME CGI
will fail.

 Can someone give me all the appropriate various settings.


For the minimum disruption set General Options - from_is_list to No and
set Privacy options... - Sender filters - dmarc_moderation_action to
either Munge From or Wrap Message. Follow the General Options -
(Details for from_is_list) link for a description of what these 2
actions do and decide which you and your user's prefer. Wrap Message is
more standards compliant because it preserves the original author's
address if the From: of the wrapped message and essentially forwards it
as an attachment. However, many users, especially those with iOS mobile
devices, don't like it.

In either case, the original message if munged or outer message if
wrapped will be From: original display name via list name
list-address and the original From: will be merged into any Reply-To:
or will just be the  Reply-To: if there otherwise wouldn't be one. (In
2.1.19, it's put in Cc: to make reply/reply-all more consistent with
their behavior on unaltered messages, although that's only when
reply_goes_to_list is not Poster.

Set Privacy options... - Sender filters -
dmarc_quarantine_moderation_action as desired.

If you prefer to treat all posts equally regardless of the DMARC policy
of the From: domain, set from_is_list to the desired action.

I initially used from_is_list because I was afraid certain individuals
with Yahoo mail accounts would complain about being singled out, but I
ultimately went to dmarc_moderation_action and got no complaints.

I use dmarc_moderation_action = Mung From (I tried Wrap Message first -
I really wanted to go that way - but I got too many complaints. It's an
individual thing. Others with the same or similar devices thought it was
OK, but several complained)

The biggest issue I have with Munge From is with one heavy user whose
MUA doesn't properly handle Reply-To: (and also doesn't add References:
or In-Reply-To: and breaks threading in my MUA, but that's an unrelated
issue).

As a workaround, procmail supports negative assertions of that kind:

:0:
* ! ^Subject
no-subject-bitbucket

would do what you want.  That may not be acceptable to you, of course,
depending on the facilities available to you, or convenience.  Just
throwing it out there, somebody might find it useful.

[Mailman-Users] Help with regular expression filters

[Marino Pascal]

I have a filter to block the word test from Subject because some people won't receive list mail for a few hours and think it's broken so they 
post test

And once one person does it everybody else feels obligated to test.
So I use
Subject: .*test
Problem with that is that it also blocks latest and testimony.
I suck at regular expressions and would appreciate some help.
I also don't have a test list to test this :)

Thanks

Re: [Mailman-Users] Help with regular expression filters

[e.c.]

At least in Emacs the following regexp works

\_test\_

that finds 'test' but not 'fastest' or 'testy'

bash, perl, ruby, etc. may have different ways of doing the same thing.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Help customizing VERP_CONFIRM_REGEXP

 There are two ways to accomplish something like what you want. To do it
 only in mm_cfg.py, there's no way to add the trailing '', but you could set

 VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = Yes
 VERP_CONFIRM_FORMAT = '(Mailman) %(addr)s+%(cookie)s'
 VERP_CONFIRM_REGEXP =
  r'(?s)^\(Mailman\) (.*)?(?Paddr.+)\+(?Pcookie[0-9a-f]{40})@.*$'

 That last should all be on one line. Also the [0-9a-f]{40} instead of
 [^@+]+ is not a necessary change, but it fixes a problem if the list
 name contains a '+'

 The above will create a From header (Mailman)
 listaddr-confirm+coo...@example.org and the regexp will recognize it in
 replies, although the two MUAs I tried (Thunderbird and Mutt) will
 address the reply to Mailman listaddr-confirm+coo...@example.org
 which will be recognized by the default regexp.

 The other way involves editing Mailman/MailList.py and changing

 def GetConfirmEmail(self, cookie):
 return mm_cfg.VERP_CONFIRM_FORMAT % {
 'addr'  : '%s-confirm' % self.internal_name(),
 'cookie': cookie,
 } + '@' + self.host_name

 to

 def GetConfirmEmail(self, cookie):
 return 'Mailman ' + mm_cfg.VERP_CONFIRM_FORMAT % {
 'addr'  : '%s-confirm' % self.internal_name(),
 'cookie': cookie,
 } + '@' + self.host_name + ''

 This will produce a From: of Mailman
 listaddr-confirm+coo...@example.org which will be recognized by the
 default regexp, so only

 VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = Yes

 is needed in mm_cfg.py.

[Mailman-Users] Help customizing VERP_CONFIRM_REGEXP

[Pablo Montepagano]

I have enabled in my server VERP_CONFIRMATIONS so that the subject of
email confirmations is more human-friendly. But I would also like to
change the format of the From: header of email confirmations.

Currently they follow the default value of VERP_CONFIRM_REGEXP. I've
been trying to change it so that I can get something like this:

From: Mailman listaddr-confirm+coo...@example.org


This is currently in my mm_cfg.py:

VERP_CONFIRM_REGEXP = r'(?s)^(.*)?(?Paddr.+)\+(?Pcookie[^@+]+)@.*$'
VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = Yes

Does anyone know how to do this?

I'm running mailman 2.1.13

Thanks in advance,

Pablo

I do not understand what the problem is. Are you not getting the From:

Re: [Mailman-Users] Help customizing VERP_CONFIRM_REGEXP

[Pablo Montepagano]

I'm sorry for not being clear. VERP_CONFIRM_REGEXP is set to the same
value that comes with Defaults.py

When confirmations are sent, the FROM header does not follow this
pattern Mailman listaddr-confirm+coo...@example.org, it just has
the addres, i.e, listaddr-confirm+coo...@example.org. I wolud like
to add the Mailman  to the beginning and  at the end.

Why? So that those who receive the invitation/confirmation email see a
human readable name in the From header.

Hope I'm being clear. Thanks!

Re: [Mailman-Users] Help customizing VERP_CONFIRM_REGEXP

[Mark Sapiro]

 When confirmations are sent, the FROM header does not follow this

There are two ways to accomplish something like what you want. To do it
only in mm_cfg.py, there's no way to add the trailing '', but you could set

VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = Yes
VERP_CONFIRM_FORMAT = '(Mailman) %(addr)s+%(cookie)s'
VERP_CONFIRM_REGEXP =
 r'(?s)^\(Mailman\) (.*)?(?Paddr.+)\+(?Pcookie[0-9a-f]{40})@.*$'

That last should all be on one line. Also the [0-9a-f]{40} instead of
[^@+]+ is not a necessary change, but it fixes a problem if the list
name contains a '+'

The above will create a From header (Mailman)
listaddr-confirm+coo...@example.org and the regexp will recognize it in
replies, although the two MUAs I tried (Thunderbird and Mutt) will
address the reply to Mailman listaddr-confirm+coo...@example.org
which will be recognized by the default regexp.

The other way involves editing Mailman/MailList.py and changing

def GetConfirmEmail(self, cookie):
return mm_cfg.VERP_CONFIRM_FORMAT % {
'addr'  : '%s-confirm' % self.internal_name(),
'cookie': cookie,
} + '@' + self.host_name

to

def GetConfirmEmail(self, cookie):
return 'Mailman ' + mm_cfg.VERP_CONFIRM_FORMAT % {
'addr'  : '%s-confirm' % self.internal_name(),
'cookie': cookie,
} + '@' + self.host_name + ''

This will produce a From: of Mailman
listaddr-confirm+coo...@example.org which will be recognized by the
default regexp, so only

VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = Yes

is needed in mm_cfg.py.

So the 'mailman' service can deliver to mailt...@lists.netwrx1.org, but
not to skunk-wo...@lists.netwrx1.org. If this service is
postfix_to_mailman.py (You never confirmed that it was or wasn't), the
only way this can happen is if the $var-prefix/lists/skunk-works/
directory doesn't exist, but then postfix_to_mailman should fail with an
error message the would be in the Postfix log message.

Therefore, it appears that the problem is not in the delivery of posts
to skunk-wo...@lists.netwrx1.org, but rather in the processing/delivery
of the post by Mailman.

Check Mailman's logs.

Also, are there any list members that would receive the post (Mailman's
'bin/list_members --regular --nomail=enabled skunk-works' will tell
you). If the only eligible recipient is you, is your 'not metoo' setting
off?


 From what I'm reading in the FAQ this is not a supported method by Mailman
 but I'm not seeing where its pointing me to any help in getting this
 working. Would I be better off with the official Postfix - Mailman
 integration mentioned and if so how would I do this in the current MySQL
 environment or would I need to start over? Starting from zero concerns me a
 bit as this is currently handing mail traffic just not lists.
 
 Currently the Postfix/Mailman setup is set for MySQL simply because that's
 the FAQ I followed but this is a VERY small environment...would I be better
 served to go the route of hash.db tables and rebuild this to work that way?


If you want help from this list, we are best able to help you if you
configure Postfix to use hashes for Postfix's alias_maps and
virtual_alias_maps for Mailman list addresses as discussed at
http://www.list.org/mailman-install/postfix-integration.html and
http://www.list.org/mailman-install/postfix-virtual.html. I don't
think this is necessarily incompatible with using MySQL for other addresses.


 (I'm not a huge MySQL fan personally for this it seems like overkill) We're
 talking 10 lists with maybe 1000 users total between them and about the same
 number of virtual domains to handle mail.

OK. The post log is written at outgoing smtp time so the absence of a
skunk-works entry doesn't mean the post didn't reach Mailman.

Your messages are being automatically discarded by Mailman. There are
only 5 ways this can happen.

1) The post is from a moderated member and member_moderation_action is
Discard.

2) The post is from a non-member and either the non-member is in
discard_these_nonmembers or generic_nonmember_action is discard.

The above settings are found in Privacy options... - Sender filters.

3) A header in the post matches a Spam Filter Rule in Privacy options...
- Spam filters - header_filter_rules with a Discard action.

4) Content filtering - filter_content is Yes, the post is empty after
content filtering and filter_action is Discard.

5) Non-digest options - scrub_nondigest is Yes, ARCHIVE_HTML_SANITIZER
is set to 0 in mm_cfg.py and the post is non-multipart with MIME type
text/html.

In your case, 4) is most likely, Either the post is text/html and you
don't accept text/html or the post is multipart/related and you don't
accept multipart/related or all multipart types.

Set filter_action to Reject and see what happens.

OK...Got a bounce back:

The message's content type was not explicitly allowed

Odd since I'm using outlook2013 and I've set it to what is supposed to be
Text...

SO what should I be setting here to allow Text only or convert to text only?

 Are these your posts? Check your outgoing mail folder for the message ids.

Your messages are being automatically discarded by Mailman. There are only 5
ways this can happen.

1) The post is from a moderated member and member_moderation_action is
Discard.

2) The post is from a non-member and either the non-member is in
discard_these_nonmembers or generic_nonmember_action is discard.

The above settings are found in Privacy options... - Sender filters.

3) A header in the post matches a Spam Filter Rule in Privacy options...
- Spam filters - header_filter_rules with a Discard action.

4) Content filtering - filter_content is Yes, the post is empty after
content filtering and filter_action is Discard.

5) Non-digest options - scrub_nondigest is Yes, ARCHIVE_HTML_SANITIZER is
set to 0 in mm_cfg.py and the post is non-multipart with MIME type
text/html.

In your case, 4) is most likely, Either the post is text/html and you don't
accept text/html or the post is multipart/related and you don't accept
multipart/related or all multipart types.

Set filter_action to Reject and see what happens.

[Mailman-Users] Help needed Mailman, Postfix with MySQL and Virtual Domain Lists

[George Kasica]

Hello:

Currently I've got Postfix running with virtual domains with a MySQL
database and am trying to get Mailman to do so as well.

I can get one domain to work mailt...@netwrx1.org but anything else is
failing as below. Can someone assist? I've loaded the aliases as shown in to
mysql and the snip of the mm_cfg.py is below as well.
I've looked at varius on line FAQs and other references but am still stuck -
have bounced all the relevant iitems postfix and mailman.

Thanks in advance, I'm sure its something simple I'm missing.

George

The above is wrong!

VIRTUAL_HOSTS is a python dictionary with keys = URL hosts and values =
the corresponding email hosts. (The above syntax creates something
entirely different.) It is maintained by add_virtualhost directives as
below. It should never be assigned a value in mm_cfg.py because this
creates an entity mm_cfg.VIRTUAL_HOSTS distinct from
Defaults.VIRTUAL_HOSTS, but the add_virtualhost directives still
maintain Defaults.VIRTUAL_HOSTS which is not referenced in Mailman.

The only direct reference th VIRTUAL_HOSTS that should ever be in
mm_cfg.py is

VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()

if needed to remove the default entry set in Defaults.py if it is
erroneous, and if needed, it must be VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear() and not
VIRTUAL_HOSTS = {} to avoid creating mm_cfg.VIRTUAL_HOSTS distinct from
Defaults.VIRTUAL_HOSTS.

 # Required when setting any of its arguments.

This does nothing if you don't also have

MTA = 'Postfix'

to cause Mailman to generate data/aliases and data/virtual-mailman to be
referenced by Postfix.

The above is wrong!

VIRTUAL_HOSTS is a python dictionary with keys = URL hosts and values = the
corresponding email hosts. (The above syntax creates something entirely
different.) It is maintained by add_virtualhost directives as below. It
should never be assigned a value in mm_cfg.py because this creates an entity
mm_cfg.VIRTUAL_HOSTS distinct from Defaults.VIRTUAL_HOSTS, but the
add_virtualhost directives still maintain Defaults.VIRTUAL_HOSTS which is
not referenced in Mailman.

The only direct reference th VIRTUAL_HOSTS that should ever be in mm_cfg.py
is

VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()

if needed to remove the default entry set in Defaults.py if it is erroneous,
and if needed, it must be VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear() and not VIRTUAL_HOSTS = {}
to avoid creating mm_cfg.VIRTUAL_HOSTS distinct from Defaults.VIRTUAL_HOSTS.

 # Required when setting any of its arguments.

I don't know why there'd be a difference between the lists.

When you mail to the mailtest list, does the Postfix log entry look
similar to

 Feb  8 16:12:38 eagle postfix/pipe[21355]: B85CD121CCD:
 to=skunk-works at lists.netwrx1.org, relay=mailman, delay=0.54,

In any case, see the FAQ at http://wiki.list.org/x/EYDt.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Help needed Mailman, Postfix with MySQL and Virtual Domain Lists

Mark:

Here it is:

mailman   unix  -   n   n   -   -   pipe
  flags=FR user=list argv=/usr/lib/mailman/bin/postfix-to-mailman.py
${nexthop} 
${user}

Which points to
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/postfix-to-mailman.py -
/etc/mailman/postfix-to-mailman.py*


Based on a quick look at the FAQ you point to below, would I be better off
not using the postfx-to-mailman.py and going with what is in section 6.1.1
Integrating Postfix and Mailman? And if so how would I do that with MySQL as
a backend as this seems to be designed for hash.db files and aliases not
MySQL

Sorry, I'm not a Postfix or Mailman expert I'm coming from a exim/majordomo
environment.

No. They are all built from strings by Mailman/Cgi/confirm.py.

Note that any Mailman URL of the form http://www.example.com/mailman/xxx

[Mailman-Users] help finding template

[Ricardo Kleemann]

Hi,

The link normally at the footer of list messages, for example:

Unsubscribe:
https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/ricardo%40americasnet.com

Will send out a confirmation email and also takes the user to a
user-specific version of the options page.

I'm trying to find, with no success, where the template for that output
page is. It seems this might be a hardcoded output that uses the mailman.po
text strings, but cannot have its overall content/layout be customized?

thanks
Ricardo

The output is built on the fly by the Mailman/Cgi/options.py script. Aside
from the message Your unsubscription request has been forwarded to the
list administrator for approval. or The confirmation email has been
sent. as appropriate, the response is also the options login page, so you
can't modify it without messing up it's function as the options login
page.

[Mailman-Users] Help with Reverse-Proxy Integration

[Thomas Murgan]

Hello,

I am a newbie to Mailman.Googling and I have tried following steps in
this link:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2004-July/038393.html

This does not work for me:
ProxyPass /mailman http://internal-server/mailman
ProxyPassReverse /mailman http://internal-server/mailman

This works:
ProxyPass / http://internal-server/mailman/
ProxyPassReverse / http://internal-server/mailman/

but this somehow gets the 'mailman' portion in the URL hidden.

Example:
http://external-server/listinfo   http://internal-server/mailman/listinfo

Issues arising:

When I want to access the admin web externally (clicking the 'Let me in'
button):

http://external-server/mailman/admin/list   it produces 404 Not found
message:

The requested URL /mailman/mailman/admin/list was not found on this
server. An extra mailman get included in the URL.

Somehow it seems the solution may be simple (solved previously), but can
someone please direct me.

thanks
Thomas

If you want all URLs starting with http://external-server/mailman; to

this is the correct syntax.  If in fact what you want is something
different, be specific.

Without seeing the rest of the URL space configuration it's hard to
guess what might be wrong.  What do you mean by doesn't work?  What
errors are produced in the browser?  What is in Apache's log?  Check
Apache's error log as well.

Given that

  http://external-server/listinfo   http://internal-server/mailman/listinfo

works (I assume you mean that produces the listinfo page from the
Mailman installed on internal-server), I would guess that you have
some configuration on external-server that interferes with configuring
/mailman with ProxyPass.  Was Mailman ever installed on
external-server, so that there is an Alias or ScriptAlias for the path
/Mailman on that Apache?  Perhaps you have a Location or Directory
element blocking the ProxyPass.

[Mailman-Users] Help! Mailman's Digest Option Sending Too Many Digests

[Yosem Companys]

Hi all,

I'm one of the moderators of the Stanford University Program on Liberation
Technology at http://liberationtechnology.stanford.edu/.

I was wondering whether someone on this list could help me.  I'm
experiencing a problem with Mailman's digest option where, no matter what I
do, Mailman is sending too many digests daily.

I have configured the options Mailman gives me as follows:

   - Can list members choose to receive list traffic bunched in digests?
   Yes.
   - Which delivery mode is the default for new users? Regular.
   - When receiving digests, which format is default? MIME.
   - How big in Kb should a digest be before it gets sent out? 0.
   - Should a digest be dispatched daily when the size threshold isn't
   reached? No.
   - How often should a new digest volume be started? Daily.
   - Should Mailman start a new digest volume? No.
   - Should Mailman send the next digest right now, if it is not empty? No.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what it is.  If
anyone on this list can help me, I will be very grateful.

Thanks,

Yosem

I'm not sure that zero has any special meaning there - just that any one  
message will always cause it to send out a digest immediately. I'd try a  
large number in there and set 'daily' back to yes.

Mailman is sending too many digests daily.

I have configured the options Mailman gives me as follows:

   - How big in Kb should a digest be before it gets sent out? 0.


This is the major problem. 0 does not mean unlimited. It means a digest
will be sent with every post because any post makes a digest = 0.

Set this to some reasonable size.


   - Should a digest be dispatched daily when the size threshold isn't
   reached? No.


If you thought 0 was unlimited, how did you think a digest would ever
be produced if not daily and not on size?


   - How often should a new digest volume be started? Daily.


This does not mean send a digest daily. That's the previous setting.
This means how often should the volume number be incremented and the
issue number reset to 1.

[Mailman-Users] Help! Mailman's Digest Option Sending Too Many Digests

[Stephen J. Turnbull]

Yosem Companys writes:
  Hi all,
  
  I'm one of the moderators of the Stanford University Program on Liberation
  Technology at http://liberationtechnology.stanford.edu/.

You've come to the right place.  Mailman is a liberating technology!

  I was wondering whether someone on this list could help me.  I'm
  experiencing a problem with Mailman's digest option where, no matter what I
  do, Mailman is sending too many digests daily.
  
  I have configured the options Mailman gives me as follows:
  
 - Can list members choose to receive list traffic bunched in digests?
 Yes.
 - Which delivery mode is the default for new users? Regular.
 - When receiving digests, which format is default? MIME.
 - How big in Kb should a digest be before it gets sent out? 0.

I don't have time to look at the code, but I think this is your
problem.  I suspect that this needs to be positive (0 does mean
infinite in many contexts, but it's not documented to mean that here).

If you really want the digest to get (almost) arbitrarily large before
being sent, you could set it to 100 (meaning 1GB).  But I think
most users' mail programs will choke on that.  I would say 1000 is
about as large as I'd want it to go.

 - Should a digest be dispatched daily when the size threshold isn't
 reached? No.
 - How often should a new digest volume be started? Daily.

The digest volume has nothing to do with the number of digests sent.
It's like the volume of a journal.  If you only have one digest per
day, you're going to have 365 volumes per year, and one issue per
volume.  I would guess that's not what you want.

 - Should Mailman start a new digest volume? No.
 - Should Mailman send the next digest right now, if it is not empty? No.

Here's your problem. You need to set it to something higher than 0. I 
use 100 for mine.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Help! Mailman's Digest Option Sending Too Many Digests

[Yosem Companys]

Thank you to everyone who responded. To avoid cluttering your inbox, I'll
respond to all of your questions in this one email.

I originally had the drone list options set to the following:

   - When receiving digests, which format is default? MIME.
   - How big in Kb should a digest be before it gets sent out? 300.
   - Should a digest be dispatched daily when the size threshold isn't reached?
   Yes.
   - How often should a new digest volume be started? Daily.

That seemed to work for a while, but all of a sudden this week all the
digest subscribers started complaining that they were receiving 1 digest
per message.

So I went about changing the options.  The first thing I thought was that
the threshold was too low, so I increased it.  Since I had read on the web
that zero meant unlimited, I did that.  I now realize that the
documentation on those sites must be wrong, as it is correct on the List
Administration Manual, to which one of you drew my attention:
https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-admin/node19.html.  In any
case, this explains why when I would send a message that only said TEST in
the subject, a new digest was created.

Once the logical thing did not work, I wrote to ask for your help.  But, as
I had subscribers dropping out like flies, I played around with the options
until I found a configuration that stopped the problem.  This was achieved
with the following:

   - When receiving digests, which format is default? Plain.
   - How big in Kb should a digest be before it gets sent out? 300.
   - Should a digest be dispatched daily when the size threshold isn't reached?
   No.
   - How often should a new digest volume be started? Weekly.

Now I realize that what probably fixed the problem was the combination of
Plain and 300.  Given that, I will keep that threshold, change the
options to the following, and cross my fingers:

   - When receiving digests, which format is default? Plain.
   - How big in Kb should a digest be before it gets sent out? 300.
   - Should a digest be dispatched daily when the size threshold isn't reached?
   Yes.
   - How often should a new digest volume be started? Monthly.

I assume 300 is more than enough for plain text.

Thanks all for your help! :)

This is all good.

This is probably not what you want.


That seemed to work for a while, but all of a sudden this week all the
digest subscribers started complaining that they were receiving 1 digest
per message.


If the settings were unchanged, there was some other issue. Were the
same messages repeated in the subsequent digests? What was logged in
Mailman's error log?


So I went about changing the options.  The first thing I thought was that
the threshold was too low, so I increased it.  Since I had read on the web

Actually, the manual you cite is wrong too. I'll fix it.

I had subscribers dropping out like flies, I played around with the options
until I found a configuration that stopped the problem.  This was achieved
with the following:

This only affects the default for new subscribers and has no bearing on
digest frequency anyway.


   - How big in Kb should a digest be before it gets sent out? 300.
   - Should a digest be dispatched daily when the size threshold isn't reached?
   No.


This may make a difference if the issue is that cron/senddigests is
being run many times a day instead of just once.


   - How often should a new digest volume be started? Weekly.

Now I realize that what probably fixed the problem was the combination of
Plain and 300.


As I said, plain has nothing to do with it. The issue is either
cron/senddigests run too frequently in which case Should a digest be
dispatched daily will make the difference, or it is some other
underlying problem which has bee fixed by the site admins in the mean
time.


Given that, I will keep that threshold, change the
options to the following, and cross my fingers:

   - When receiving digests, which format is default? Plain.
   - How big in Kb should a digest be before it gets sent out? 300.
   - Should a digest be dispatched daily when the size threshold isn't reached?
   Yes.


If this starts the problem again, the issue is someone changed the
frequency with which cron/senddigests is run by Mailman's crontab. If
not, the problem was something else outside your list settyings, and
someone else fixed it.

First, Listserv is a registered trademark of the product from L-soft; 
it is not a

generic term that describes mailing list management software.
Second, define is not working.  Many things could be happening, but 
without more

details, we have no idea what fixes to suggest.

[Mailman-Users] Help! How to quell list address in personalised messages

[Geoff Shang]

Hi,

A bit urgent.

I thought I'd turn on personalisation for an announce list I'm putting 
together, in order to have the person's address in the To field instead of 
the list address.  The box will only be used for this list and messages 
wil only go out about once a month, so performance isn't an issue.


But when I turned on full personalisation and got my Email address in the 
To field, the list address got sent in the Cc field.


Is there any way I can stop this?   I want to keep people from trying to 
post to the list.  I will close other doors as well but there's really no 
need for people to see the list address.


Geoff.

This is intentional and by design to facilitate people replying to the
list even with full personalization.

If you don't want this, you need to modify
Mailman/Handlers/CookHeaders.py to not add the list posting address to
Cc: or add a custom handler following CookHeaders to remove it.

Hello All,

I am new to your the Mailman Users' group. I manage Mailman 2.1.9 (a VM
Red Hat Enterprise 5 system) for my organization but I am new to Mailman
and don't know much about Python scripting.

I need to generate a monthly report on all my mailing lists that includes
each list's name, description, admin, and members.  I have come up with a
bash script using some Python scripts for Mailman that generates most of
the reporting but could not find a script or a way to extract a list's
description.

Any hint/help for pointing out how to extract the description of any list
via a bash script will be very much appreciated.

Thanks very much for your input.
