Mailman 3 May 2018 - Mailman-Users

Duplicate command results
by Rubén Fernández Asensio May 31, 2018

May 31, 2018

Hello all, It's a tiny issue but really nags me. When a user sends a command to the request address (so far I've tried 'help' and 'set help') the reply shows the command's results twice, repeated within the same message. How could I fix this?

Re: [Mailman-Users] confirmation string is not working

Dear, To give continuity to this topic that I found on the internet (https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2012-May/073367.html) I also went through that. I solved this problem by disabling https. So that when redirecting from http to https occurred, the cache was lost. Forgive me for any incorrect spelling. I am Brazilian and I have difficulties with English.

Unsubscribe link
by nikos May 30, 2018

May 30, 2018

Hello list. Is possible to insert somehow a unsubscribe link inside the message instead in footer? After many tries I manage to put a direct link in footer, setting Full Personalization ON first. The problem is that Outlook attach footer and most users ignore it. So it could be useful to putt a link inside message. I use version 2.1.12 on Centos 6. Thank you in advance

Filtering messages with no subject
by Bryan Blackwell May 29, 2018

May 29, 2018

Hi folks, I'm having trouble with some spam using spoofed addresses getting through to my lists, they all seem to have no subject. I don't see any obvious way to filter these, am I missing an option? If not, has anyone implemented a filter to block these sorts of messages? Thanks for any help, --Bryan -- Bryan Blackwell -- Unix Systems Engineer bryan(a)skiblack.com

(2.1.26) Mailman CGI error!!! The Mailman CGI wrapper encountered a fatal error. This entry is being stored in your syslog: Cannot open wrapper configuration file: No such file or directory
by michaelof＠rocketmail.com May 29, 2018

May 29, 2018

Hello to all, first post to this mailing list, so first of all thank you very much to all who helped to make Mailman and it's community reality! I'm running mailman now for a while without issues. On my VPS, not a big installation, not many lists, just a few users per list. After upgrading the VPS to OpenSuse Leap 15.0, Mailman still 2.1.26, Apache from 2.4.23 to 2.4.33, Python from 2.7.13 to 2.7.14, I'm getting the error message in the subject of this mail when trying to access the mailman web pages on Apache. All other Apache sites (non-Mailman, like TYPO3, Nextcloud, Roundcubemail, ...) / their Vhosts are running fine. Relevant part of Apache's error_log: [Tue May 29 11:46:07.135217 2018] [cgi:error] [pid 24758] [client (IPV6)] AH02811: script not found or unable to stat: /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/favicon.ico [Tue May 29 11:46:07.486058 2018] [cgi:error] [pid 24758] [client (IPV6)] AH02811: script not found or unable to stat: /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/error [Tue May 29 11:46:07.267081 2018] [cgi:error] [pid 25456] [client (IPV6)] AH02811: script not found or unable to stat: /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/favicon.ico [Tue May 29 11:46:07.486381 2018] [cgi:error] [pid 25456] [client (IPV6)] AH02811: script not found or unable to stat: /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/error --> which is true, but "favicon.ico" and "error" also haven't been existing on the fine running Mailman instance before the OpenSuse upgrade, checked in server backups. - I've compared (diff) Apache's config files (before and after the upgrade) file by file, most of them, esp. all direct Mailman files, are untouched by the upgrade, others (general httpd) with smaller changes, which really shouldn't affect Mailman. - Got the hint from #httpd, that the error msg has nothing to to with apache itself. Tested to run e.g. "listinfo" manually, same error: vserver:/usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin # ./listinfo Content-type: text/html <head> <title>Mailman CGI error!!!</title> </head><body> <h1>Mailman CGI error!!!</h1> The Mailman CGI wrapper encountered a fatal error. This entry is being stored in your syslog: <pre> Cannot open wrapper configuration file: No such file or directory</pre> - In contrast the executables in /usr/lib/mailman/bin are working fine, tested with e.g. "version", "check_db", "list_lists", all working as expected - Also Mailman systemd unit seems to run fine: vserver:~ # systemctl status mailman ● mailman.service - LSB: Starts the mailinglist manager Mailman Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/mailman; generated; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Mon 2018-05-28 19:39:09 CEST; 16h ago Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8) Tasks: 9 (limit: 629145) CGroup: /system.slice/mailman.service ├─1946 /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl --quiet --stale-lock-cleanup start ├─1948 /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=ArchRunner:0:1 -s ├─1949 /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=BounceRunner:0:1 -s ├─1950 /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=CommandRunner:0:1 -s ├─1951 /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=IncomingRunner:0:1 -s ├─1952 /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=NewsRunner:0:1 -s ├─1953 /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=OutgoingRunner:0:1 -s ├─1954 /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=VirginRunner:0:1 -s └─1955 /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=RetryRunner:0:1 -s Mai 28 19:39:08 vserver systemd[1]: Starting LSB: Starts the mailinglist manager Mailman...

Invite subscribers via command line.
by Jacques May 25, 2018

May 25, 2018

Hello, Due to new rules and regulations I will have to massively INVITE subscribers. I have some idea on how to (shell)script Subscribe (add_members (-r|-d) file list) but I am afraid a -invite key does not exist (yet) to massively Invite subscribers. Any chance to get this feature ? Thanks, Jacques -- GnuPg : C8F5B1E3 WeUsePGP Because privacy matters http://weusepgp.info/

Probable bug in Bouncers/DSN.py

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hello!

Encoding issues when importing archives
by Eric Abrahamsen May 23, 2018

May 23, 2018

I'm recreating some old lists I had in a Mailman 2 installation, and trying to import the old mboxes into Hyperkitty. The lists were on Chinese-related subjects, and we've got both messages that contain Chinese characters, and attachments that have Chinese filenames and contents. The import process is blowing up with a UnicodeEncodeError, in hyperkitty/lib/incoming.py#add_to_list, it looks like when the attachments are being processed: content = content.encode(decoding) UnicodeEncodeError: 'gb2312' codec can't encode character '\ufffd' in position 3131: illegal multibyte sequence Apparently the offending attachments are specified as gb2312 (a common Chinese encoding). Is there something I can do to somehow preprocess the archive mboxes, or otherwise re-encode the attachments? Thanks, Eric
