Problems on mailman3 installation via mailman-bundler
by Take Oct. 1, 2015

I've been struggling for couple of days to get mailman3 up and running on my Debian Jessie -host. So far I'm in the situation that everything should (more or less) work, I can create lists and receive confirmation emails etc. However, every post I send to the testing-list I created end up in shunting, from log file I get this: Sep 29 00:59:34 2015 (21017) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/mailman/mailman-bundler/venv-3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 165, in _one_iteration self._process_one_file(msg, msgdata) File "/home/mailman/mailman-bundler/venv-3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/core/runner.py", line 258, in _process_one_file keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/home/mailman/mailman-bundler/venv-3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/runners/incoming.py", line 63, in _dispose process(mlist, msg, msgdata, start_chain) File "/home/mailman/mailman-bundler/venv-3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/core/chains.py", line 86, in process link.function(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/home/mailman/mailman-bundler/venv-3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/chains/hold.py", line 182, in _process autorespond_to_sender(mlist, msg.sender, language)): File "/home/mailman/mailman-bundler/venv-3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/chains/hold.py", line 83, in autorespond_to_sender address = user_manager.create_address(sender) File "/home/mailman/mailman-bundler/venv-3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/database/transaction.py", line 92, in wrapper return function(args[0], config.db.store, *args[1:], **kws) File "/home/mailman/mailman-bundler/venv-3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/model/usermanager.py", line 110, in create_address address = Address(email, display_name) File "<string>", line 4, in __init__ File "/home/mailman/mailman-bundler/venv-3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/sqlalchemy/orm/state.py", line 306, in _initialize_instance manager.dispatch.init_failure(self, args, kwargs) File "/home/mailman/mailman-bundler/venv-3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/sqlalchemy/util/langhelpers.py", line 60, in __exit__ compat.reraise(exc_type, exc_value, exc_tb) File "/home/mailman/mailman-bundler/venv-3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/sqlalchemy/util/compat.py", line 182, in reraise raise value File "/home/mailman/mailman-bundler/venv-3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/sqlalchemy/orm/state.py", line 303, in _initialize_instance return manager.original_init(*mixed[1:], **kwargs) File "/home/mailman/mailman-bundler/venv-3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/model/address.py", line 59, in __init__ getUtility(IEmailValidator).validate(email) File "/home/mailman/mailman-bundler/venv-3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mailman/email/validate.py", line 64, in validate raise InvalidEmailAddressError(email) mailman.interfaces.address.InvalidEmailAddressError So, apparently something is wrong with member addresses? Since I'm dealing with fresh installation there's only two of my own addresses, both valid (checked via bin/mailman members mylist(a)example.com) Additionally, for some reason my debug.log is empty. I couldn't find any reference from documentation nor from sample configuration files on how to switch debugging on, is there documentation about mailman.cfg and options I can (or should) have there? -- Take

Fwd: BCC and bounces
by Borja Riesgo Juan Sept. 30, 2015

Sept. 30, 2015

Hello My hosting doesn´t allow since mid August sending emails using BCC. I can send only 50 mails per hour. They recommend me to use mailman. I would like to use mailman just for sending mails for one or two users of the list. the rest of the members won´t be allow. So they must be moderated. yesterday i was trying, and this seems to work. the problems are: - if i send the messages using BCC, that is all(a)mydomian.com they see undisclosed recipients and the message is sent by all-bopunces(a)mydomain.com. I don´t want users see all-bounces(a)mydomain.com. I want the see that i send the message and they as the receivers. _ Secondly if i sent in CC, they see all(a)mydomain.com. i don't want them to see that. To sum up, i want that the list is something that they don´t know. how can i do that? Best regards, Borja Best regards, Borja

Because in a python RE, \? is a literal '?', not a '0 or 1 of repeat'. For grep you need the \? to give ? its special meaning. a regexp for egrep or grep -E will be closer to what you want for python. You want ^\.?j\.?o\.?e\.?b\.?l\.?o\.?w xxx \+.*(a)gmail\.com where I'm unsure about the ' xxx ' part because I don't understand what '\ ?' is supposed to do? Or instead of the above and to account for multiple '.' maybe ^\.*j\.*o\.*e\.*b\.*l\.*o\.*w\.*\+.*(a)gmail\.com which says zero or more dots followed by j followed by zero or more dots followed by o, etc., followed by w followed by zero or more dots followed by + followed by anything followed by @gmail.com.

Regexp for blocking addresses
by Matthew Saltzman Sept. 28, 2015

Sept. 28, 2015

I am trying to block variants of ceertain gmail addresses but I'm having trouble concocting the right rexexp to accomplish the task. Gmail addresses can contain embedded periods and can be followed by a '+' and an arbitrary suffix. So all the following are the same address: * joebloe(a)gmail.com * joe.blow(a)gmail.com * j.o.e.blow(a)gmail.com * joe.blow+abcd(a)gmail.com And so on. I've tried various regexps, but none have worked so far. 1. Could someone show me the right syntax to catch all embedded dots in the part before the '+'? 2. Is there a way to script removing all my experimentation from the ban lists on multiple mailing lists? Things are looking pretty cluttered by now on the privacy admin pages. Thanks very much in advance. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu

Reenabling users disabled due to bounces
by Matthew Saltzman Sept. 28, 2015

Sept. 28, 2015

We had an issue with outgoing mail last week that caused a number of users on multiple lists to be disabled due to bounces. I'd like to clear all those flags and reenable those users. Is there an easy way to take care of that en masse? Or at least to locate all those users without paging through membership lists on the Web? TIA. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu

Sept. 28, 2015

Hello, We notice that our 1-click unsubscribe option %(user_optionsurl)s?password=%(user_password)s&unsub=1&unsubconfirm=1 doesn't get interpreted correctly by gmail. The whole text get displayed as is while other email systems like yahoo translates it into a clickable link. Anyone has a solution or workaround? Thank you!

How to link two lists?
by George Mager Sept. 25, 2015

Sept. 25, 2015

I have two mailing lists. One is a complete list for all the members of my community association, and the other is for the board of directors of the community association. I would like to be able to link the two lists so that residents could send emails to the board list without moderation. I know I could embed the residents list in the board list as a full list of emails, but it would be much more efficient to be able to just link to the residents list. Is there a way to do that?
