before next release: disable backscatter in default installation
by Jo Rhett Nov. 7, 2022

Nov. 7, 2022

Hi. There's a fairly simple problem here that needs to be addressed. And it's mostly a documentation/install problem. I'm hoping we can get this resolved before the next release. PROBLEM: Mailman comes out of the box ready to backscatter spam people. Yes, it's easy enough to fix. But because it comes stock this way, and is documented to install this way, most people install it to do this. Those of us who work in abuse departments are tired of hearing "well that's how Mailman … [View More]

Yeah I doubt that as well. In the meantime I also found [1] which seems to have come to the same conclusion for the majority of default setups. For upstream to disable it by default it was mentioned that there is a need for a customize kit which seems fine [1]. There is a further argument to disable the live compressors, at least as I read COMPRESS_OFFLINE that seems helpful for production setups anyway to speed up and safe CPU load. So while upstream waits until a "customize kit" exists to switch defaults, as a downstream like Debian/Ubuntu I wonder if we already could: - drop sass/less compilers to a suggest - disable the live compression in the default config that we ship - keep the config commented-out to make it easy for admins that want to enable it later - pre-compress at build time and enable compress_offline for speed - maybe call `django_admin compress` [3][4] or similar at build time? - having sass/less as build dependencies seems much safer than pulling it in at runtime @Jonas M.: what do you think about [2] (again maybe after Buster)? Sorry to not know more of this yet, but I hope suggesting what I think might work helps to get us the right way.

Introducing Mailman Web project
by Abhilash Raj March 24, 2019

March 24, 2019

I have been working on a new sub-project Mailman Web[1][2]. This project basically combines Postorius and Hyperkitty together in a single package which you can easily use to serve Mailman's web interface. The basic motivation behind this was to make it simpler for people to install the web interface *and* make it easier for people to configure Mailman's web ui. Both Postorius and Hyperkitty are based on Django Web Framework, which uses settings.py as its default configuration language. … [View More]While it is quite convenient for Python developers to be able to put Python statements in configuration to join/edit/configure settings. However, I think a traditional INI, or TOML style configuration is easier for non-developers without having to worry about PYTHONPATH, valid Python sytax etc, etc. For this reason, I decided to combine all the projects together into a Django project which can be easily installed and run: $ pip install mailman-web # Export Settings for commands to just work. $ export DJANGO_SETTINGS=mailman_web.settings $ django-admin migrate $ django-admin runserver This should get you default settings for running. If you want to customize your installation, which you almost always would need to in a prod environment, you can create a config file at one of these locations (which are searched in following order): - /etc/mailman-web.toml - /etc/mailman3/mailman-web.toml - ./mailman-web.toml Note that we support only TOML as the configuration language[3][4] because of its simplicity. I would have loved to use INI, like Mailman Core, but it turns out to be way too simple to represent more complex data structures like maps and tables, that is commonly used in Django's Settings. This project is currently in alpha stage (I created it today!), but can be installed with pip[5] and in my basic tests works. There isn't much in the project itself beyond some configurations. I also took this opportunity to document all the settings that are used in Mailman Web (both Postorius and Hyperkitty) together[6]. This is documented in code and so I really hope that it won't go out of date like many other places ;-) Improvements to docs is very welcome, just a modification of a comment and is quite easy to propose right in your web browser using Gitlab! Any questions, comments or suggestions are welcome. You can open issues for feature requests on gitlab[1] too.

Mailman Core 3.2.2 is now out

Hello Everyone, Mailman Core 3.2.2 is released and available on PyPI[1]. This is a regular bugfix release and I had to do that to fix a version constraint which pulled in a pre-release of a dependency (falcon) when installed via pip and caused the default install to break. There are few other changes included in this release, including a big refactor of error reporting in Core's REST API. All the error responses are now correctly formatted as JSON with more information about the error. … [View More]

Removing of bounce address from client.users?
by Aaryan Bhagat March 18, 2019

March 18, 2019

Let's say I have an email subscribed to multiple lists and almost all of them are generating bounce messages upon sending to that address. It is pretty much it is confirmed that this address is now stale and does not work now. Except from unsubscribing it from the lists I also think it would be wise to remove it from client.users. I need some pointers regarding if this should be applied or not? Am I missing some crucial info here?

How strict are the dependencies on the django-compressor related backends?
by Christian Ehrhardt March 15, 2019

March 15, 2019

Hi, I was evaluating the Dependencies of mailman3 in Ubuntu and I was wondering if I could cut them down a bit. One thing that got my attention is the dependency from mailman3-web [1] to nodejs for less [2] and ruby-sass [3]. I was wondering if we could by default not install node-less/ruby-sass and what exactly that would imply. I have seen they are used for python3-django-compressor integration, but not a lot of actual LESS or SASS snippets in any related package. So I was wondering if that … [View More]

GSoC Intro and Project
by Aaryan Bhagat March 9, 2019

March 9, 2019

I have started contributing in GNU Mailman for quite some time now and a some Introduction is required so. My name is Aaryan Bhagat a 2nd Year Computer Science Undergraduate studying in Indian Institute of Technology Kharagur. github-link---"https://github.com/berserker1" gitlab-link----"https://gitlab.com/berserker1?nav_source=navbar" I will be focusing on the project idea "Add support for bounce processing in Core". I feel comfortable in this area and have undertook some research in this … [View More]also meanwhile. DISCUSSION FOR THE IDEA---------------------------------- Currently I have read the source code regarding bounce runner and various files. What I have gathered of all the bounce configuration files is this (Summary below if you want to skip) : >File `bounce.py` in `mailman/src/mailman/interfaces` is an interface file which defines various class of bounce functions. >File `bounce.py` in `mailman/src/mailman/model` is a model file for various functions. >File `bounce.py` in `mailman/src/mailman/runners/bounce.py` runs the `bounce runner` info read about the runners in the docs. >File `bounces.rst` in `mailman/src/mailman/app/docs/bounces.rst` shows how a bounce message is generated and send to the original sender , how you can also send the error reasons in a dict and it will all be showed to the sender in an organized way. >File `bounce.rst` in `mailman/src/mailman/model/docs` shows how a bounce event is registered , it stores various info . >File `test_bounces.py` in `mailman/src/mailman/app/tests` tests the `app.bounces` functions. >File `test_bounce.py` in `mailman/src/mailman/model/tests` tests the `bounce model objects` . >File `test_bounce.py` in `mailman/src/mailman/runners/tests` tests the `bounce runners`. SUMMARY------- What I can summarize is the method of detecting bounces, registering events, sending mail bounce message to the sender and all other data gathering events are complete.(Also mentioned in the proposal but I had to go though to understand the code otherwise I could not move on). I have also read the Mailman 2.1.xx method of processing bounce addresses. Important docs I have read ----- Bounces in mailman3 ------------ "https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/model/docs/bounce.html" Bounce Processing of Mailman 2.1( Sub topic here ) ---------- "https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Mailman%202.1%20List%20Administrators%20Manual?hi…" Runners in Mailman3 ------------------------ "https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/runners/docs/incoming.…" QUESTIONS Q1--- What should be my implementation of processing bounces? Same as previous Mailman or some new ideas. (I am researching this but also need pointers from other contributors!) Q2--- Some crucial info I missed or overlooked please point out and guide me in the right direction for this. If any imp doc I missed please share the link. I believe implementation on this is not trivial and suitable amount of discussion is required for making anything final. I hope to contribute to this org as long as possible(GSoC or No GSoC). It has really sparked my interest. [View Less]

Confusing definition of "subscribers"
by Ye Xiaoxing March 5, 2019

March 5, 2019

In /lists/, it prompts that "Only lists that you are owner,moderator or subscriber for are shown here", but I see a list which I was only sent a email to or has not request a subscription. Also in /accounts/subscriptions/, that list appears as "nonmember", but not in the "list-based preferences". So what's the definition of subscribers? Is it defined as who has interaction with the list?

March 3, 2019

The URL written for the syntax in the request is static -> "https://localhost:9001/3.0/......" Does the REST ROOT URL always need to be static --> "https://localhost:9001/3.0" ? Mine is "https://localhost:8001/3.1" Am I missing something here? If it need not to be static then it can be written like this <the URL given in the parameter "REST root url" >/<type of request> Like for obtaining the version information it can be <the URL given in the parameter "REST root url"… [View More]
