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

Doubts with Mailman + DMARC + Option "Munge From"
by Henrique Fagundes May 21, 2018

May 21, 2018

Dear Colleagues, First good afternoon! I apologize to the poorly written English. I am Brazilian and I do not have so much knowledge of this language. I implemented the MailMan solution on a server for testing, to homologate before putting into production. I made the settings according to the documentation and everything flowed properly, except for one detail: I saw that there were some problems in the delivery of messages coming from some providers, for example: ZohoMail, YaHoo and AOL. So I used the log output from the "/var/log/mail.log" file to do a search and then discovered that these providers reject the messages because of their DMARC policies. I also discovered that there is a way to get around this in the MailMan options, in the web interface, selecting the desired list, going to "administration" and then "general options". In the following option: "Replace the From: header with the list's posting address to mitigate issues stemming from the original From: domain's DMARC or similar policies." Just check the "Munge From" option. As pictured in the link below: http://temporario2.aprendendolinux.com/option.png This "solves" the problem. What's bothering you is that when someone sends an email to the list, the "From" field, in addition to the sender's name, is displaying "via list name" Example: I have a list called "clubenaval" and I sent an email to the list. It appears like this: "Henrique Fagundes via clubenaval", as pictured in the link below: http://temporario2.aprendendolinux.com/from.png I'd like to remove that. I would like only the name of the sender to appear, in the case of the example, "Henrique Fagundes". I already researched a lot and I did not find anything related to that! Could someone help me? Here are some more information: Distribution: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS x64 Kernel Version: 4.4.0-1057 Apache version: 2.4.18 Postfix version: 3.1.0 main.cf: http://temporario2.aprendendolinux.com/main.cf.txt master.cf: http://temporario2.aprendendolinux.com/master.cf.txt Mailman version: 2.1.20 mm_cfg.py: http://temporario2.aprendendolinux.com/mm_cfg.py.txt I will be very grateful if anyone can help!

Roster security
by Rubén Fernández Asensio May 21, 2018

May 21, 2018

Hi all! My question may be dumb, but I need some confirmation. I set up a list so that the roster is visible to subscribers. I just noticed that, when any subscriber logs into the roster, s/he can access any other user's option page and try to unsubscribe that user or send a password reminder. I know no user can be unsubscribed without replying to the confirmation message, but I was very surprised that any subscriber would be allowed to do that to any other. I thought making the roster visible to subscribers would only expose their emails (and names, if they provided one). Is this by design, or is this a bug in my Mailman installation? Is there any way of making the roster visible to subscribers without giving access to personal option pages through it? Rubén

Internationalizing administrative aliases
by Rubeno Fernández May 20, 2018

May 20, 2018

Hello all, I'd like to know whether it's possible to internationalize addresses for list control, like mylist-owner, mylist-subscribe, mylist-unsubscribe... I tried editing the file /usr/lib/mailman/data/aliases and then running /usr/ lib/mailman/bin/genaliases, but it doesn't work, even after restarting the server the default addresses are still the only ones valid. I should add that the new addresses had only ASCII characters. Is it possible at all? Rubén

Help with mailman instance in broken state
by Kevin Bowen May 15, 2018

May 15, 2018

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/<listname>, 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/<listname> 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? Kevin Bowen UCSD ITS UBPS kevin(a)ucsd.edu

new user
by Phillip Waters May 13, 2018

May 13, 2018

I have three separate domains all hosted by the same company. I created a private mailing list for one of my domains as a test to try and see if it was something I could use. Turn out it is something I want to use. I deleted that list and tried to start over. However, On the main page for Cpanel it shows the list is still there: Mailing Lists <https://nemunas.tchmachines.com:2083/cpsess9309149334/frontend/paper_lanter…> 1 / ∞ When in fact it isn't. I want to re-create that list with the same name, however, when I tried to create the list again I get the following error: Failed to create the mailing list “d4(a)XXXXXX.xn--org-9o0a: The requested mailing list address, “d4(a)XXXXXX.xn--org-9o0a, conflicts with the forwarder “d4(a)XXXXXX.org <mailto:dist4@gaafg.org> <mailto:dist4@gaafg.org> <mailto:dist4@gaafg.org>”. To create a mailing list named “d4(a)XXXXXX.xn--org-9o0a, you must first delete the forwarder that conflicts with that name. <mailto:dist4@gaafg.org> My problem is I can't find where it is being forwarded. Can someone help me figure out where my problem lies? No forwards are listed anywhere that I can see. Thanks in advance, Phillip

Possibly OT: GDPR and list servers
by Andrew Hodgson May 9, 2018

May 9, 2018

Hi, Has anyone in the EU come across the GDPR guidelines in the context of Mailman? We are a charity and run Mailman as part of that with some high traffic email lists. I am getting a lot of conflicting information regarding whether we can even continue to do this in the current climate, most of it coming from half baked documents or different people's opinion, so I wanted to put it out there to see if there is anything that the community may have that we can use or help with in a co-ordinated way. Thanks. Andrew.

Private archive file not found
by David Doonan May 8, 2018

May 8, 2018

I manage a couple of dozen mailman lists, all of which are functioning correctly except for one. When I go to the list archives, the following error message is displayed: > Private archive file not found Tried changing the settings Archive Yes to No to Yes. Tried changing the settings from Private to Public to Private. Error message still appears. Exploring the server via SFTP, this troublesome list only has one folder, with a sub-folder called attachments. The rest of the lists are set up correctly, with two folders, one with the name of the list and the second with the name of the list and .mbox as a suffix. The troublesome list is not new; it was created a decade or more ago. Can’t believe that no has complained about the lack of archives. Is there a solution other than to re-install? david
