Mailman3 installation and the Hyperkitty url
by Kimmo L. May 19, 2022

May 19, 2022

Hello! I just installed a fresh Mailman3 together with Postorius and Hyperkitty by using this guide - https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-suite-doc/blob/master/source/install/vir… Not sure, if this guide is up to date and contains the latest information, but at the moment everything seems to work. Please let me know if I should follow any other instruction instead. My second concern/question is about Hyperkitty and how to change the default url. At the moment default archive url is for example http://mymailman/archives/ ,but am i able to change it somehow ? For example http:/mymailman/hyperkitty/ Br, Kimmo

group mismatch
by Jon Baron May 17, 2022

May 17, 2022

I'm sure this is a very dumb question, because I have seen several posts about it, all of which imply that there is some simple solution. I am trying to use spamassassin by running everything through /etc/procmail, and I get the following in /var/log/procmail: "Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as one of the following groups: [mail, postfix, mailman, nobody, daemon], but the system's mail server executed the mail script as group: "baron". Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as one of these groups: [mail, postfix, mailman, nobody, daemon]," The dumb question is: "What is the 'mail server'?" I thought it was sendmail, but I have no idea where "baron" comes from. baron is just a user on the system. The various IDs for mailman are set to sjdm.org in the configuration file. I installed it as "root" from a Fedora RPM, and the name "baron" had no part of that. So far as I can tell, NOTHING in this system is owned by "baron" except my own account (which is, however, included in several groups).

What regular expressions are allowed for Mailman topics?
by Frank Thommen May 14, 2022

May 14, 2022

Dear all, I'm trying to implement Mailman topics through regular expressions. However I'm not sure, what expression types are supported. I was trying * ^(OK|WARN|CRIT|UP|DOWN) -> * ^(OK|WARN|CRIT|UP|DOWN) \- to catch subject lines like "OK -> CRIT some text" and "UP -> DOWN some text" ecc. The regexpes above don't catch these mail, even though they should be perfectly ok according to several regular expression testers. Interestingly * ^(OK|WARN|CRIT|UP|DOWN) /does/ match, but I require the trailing " ->" to discern from other, very similar subjects. I also didn't find any reference documentation regarding the supported regular expression syntax. Is there any? Out Mailman version is 2.1.9 Cheers, Frank

Weekly and month digests
by Mark Dale May 1, 2022

May 1, 2022

Hi, I've encountered a puzzle where weekly digests are not being sent, and I'm trying to understand how periodic digests work. Daily digests and running the command below (as root) seems to work okay. /usr/bin/python /var/lib/mailman/cron/senddigests -l <LISTNAME> Looking at Mailman's cron for digests I see the command for daily digests: cat /var/lib/mailman/cron/crontab.in ... # Noon, mail digests for lists that do periodic as well as threshhold delivery. 0 12 * * * /usr/bin/python -S /var/lib/mailman/cron/senddigests ... All good there. For weekly and monthly digests to be sent should I add additional lines to Mailman's "crontab.in" (or even the system's crontab)? For example: # 3:00 PM every Friday 0 15 * * 5 /usr/bin/python -S /var/lib/mailman/cron/senddigests # 9:00 AM first day of each month 0 9 1 * * /usr/bin/python -S /var/lib/mailman/cron/senddigests Or does the "senddigests" script handle weekly and monthly digests by retrieving info from somewhere? And if so, where does Mailman get the information as to which digests should be sent weekly or monthly? And also if so, what day of the week/month should it be sending by default for those digests? Thanks in advance if anyone can straighten my head out on this. /Mark
