Mailman 3 - Mailman-Users

all gmail subscribers removed - 'disabled address'
by Joly MacFie 01 May '24

01 May '24

I have a small mailman one-click install running on a VPS on Dreamhost. I have struggled to make it DKIM / SPF / DMARC compliant, and I thought I was winning, but, just now, every single gmail subscriber was removed (disabled address) I have it set 'munge from' Looking at the DMARC report from google. The VPS passes, but there are a bunch of other fails. I have re-added all those removed subscribers, and, obviously, will open a ticket at DH, and thrash my DNS records. Any tips? -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +12185659365 -------------------------------------- -

Admin Requests Time Out
by Dennis Putnam 27 Apr '24

27 Apr '24

I am trying to submit an admin request (rejecting an email) but when I click "submit" it times out. I don't see anything in the log file (maybe I need to look somewhere else). Restarting the service does not help nor does rebooting the system. The status appears to me to be correct: $ sudo service mailman status Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status mailman.service ● mailman.service - GNU Mailing List Manager Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/mailman.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Thu 2024-04-18 12:21:44 EDT; 4 days ago Process: 1143 ExecStart=/usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl -s start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 1126 ExecStartPre=/bin/chmod 660 /var/log/mailman/error (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 1123 ExecStartPre=/bin/chown mailman:mailman /var/log/mailman/error (code=exited, status= 0/SUCCESS) Process: 1119 ExecStartPre=/bin/touch /var/log/mailman/error (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 1097 ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/install -m644 -o root -g root /usr/lib/mailman/cron/crontab.in /etc/cron.d/mailman (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 830 ExecStartPre=/usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailman-update-cfg (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 1842 (mailmanctl) Tasks: 9 CGroup: /system.slice/mailman.service ├─1842 /usr/bin/python2 /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl -s start ├─1892 /usr/bin/python2 /usr/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=ArchRunner:0:1 -s ├─1893 /usr/bin/python2 /usr/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=BounceRunner:0:1 -s ├─1894 /usr/bin/python2 /usr/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=CommandRunner:0:1 -s ├─1895 /usr/bin/python2 /usr/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=IncomingRunner:0:1 -s ├─1896 /usr/bin/python2 /usr/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=NewsRunner:0:1 -s ├─1897 /usr/bin/python2 /usr/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=OutgoingRunner:0:1 -s ├─1898 /usr/bin/python2 /usr/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=VirginRunner:0:1 -s └─1899 /usr/bin/python2 /usr/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=RetryRunner:0:1 -s Apr 18 11:21:19 dap002 systemd[1]: Starting GNU Mailing List Manager...

Need help diagnosing an intermittent DMARC mung failure
by Grant Taylor 20 Apr '24

20 Apr '24

Hi, I'd like some help diagnosing an intermittent DMARC mung failure on Mailman 2.1.29. Some of the time DMARC munging works perfectly fine, and then seemingly with no configuration changes, DMARC munging stops working. Then after restarting Mailman it may start working again. -- We don't have hard consistent data yet. But we do have a sender that some of the time their system their messages come through with "First Last via List" <list(a)listdomain.example> and then other times their messages come through with "First Last" <sender(a)sendersdomain.example>. No changes on the senders side / infrastructure and no changes on the mailing list config / infrastructure. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to start troubleshooting this? N.B. I don't have root on the system but I do have the ear of people that do. I might be able to check logs if I have read permission on them. I'm not seeing any obvious problems in the logs that I can read. I may have to relay diagnostic requests to the admins if I don't have permission. -- Grant. . . .

Cloudmark blacklist
by Jayson Smith 17 Apr '24

17 Apr '24

Hi, I run two very low traffic Mailman lists on my Linode. This morning one of them got an Email, and that's when I found out thanks to Comcast that my IP is on Cloudmark's blacklist. Naturally I've sent in a reset request using the form linked from the Comcast error message, and am still waiting to be removed. A few days ago I sent to a Comcast customer with no problem. I've resolved the problem sending to Comcast by enabling my server to send using IPv6. This required me to have Linode allocate me my own /64 since my default IPv6 address was in a /64 blocked by Spamhaus XBL/CSS lists. Does anyone know if Cloudmark blocks entire IP ranges or just individual addresses? I don't know why my IP is on Cloudmark's list, as most of the Email I send is personal in nature, to people I have corresponded with for years. I've used multiple RBL check tools, and everything has come back negative, except that my entire subnet is on Spamgrouper.to (checked by running a check on a neighboring IP). I have SPF, DKIM, and DMARC set up. I'm getting really tired of these unexplained blacklistings. Does anyone know of any reliable outgoing Email service providers? Ideally I want to continue to handle my own incoming Email because I don't want someone else's spam blocking software deciding what Emails I receive. Thanks, Jayson

Admin Panel Spam Filters: Filtering Message Body for Keywords?
by Michael Reeder -- Hygeia MS 15 Apr '24

15 Apr '24

Hello All, **Question: Is there a way to use [Spam filters] (or any other setting in the GUI admin panel) to filter for keywords in the body of the incoming email message?** ~~~ Looking for help on use of the "[Spam filters]" option under "Privacy Options...". My situation is that I don't have access to the back-end to set up any more sophisticated filters (Dream Host) so I need to ONLY utilize tools available through the web GUI administrative panel. Online examples of how to do this are strangely hard to find, other than discussions of how to look at headers for spam filter scores. Somehow, a few months ago, I managed to find this example of how to filter an email subject line: \nSubject: .*Jerusalem.* Which we then Hold for moderation. I would like to do the exact same thing for the body of the email message -- filter the message body for keywords. Something like: \nBody: .*Jerusalem.* **Question: Is there a way to use [Spam filters] (or any other setting in the GUI admin panel) to filter for keywords in the body of the incoming email message?** Our use case is that we have a 20+ year tradition of allowing polite and respectful political discussion, but need to hold for moderation all messages on the Middle East situation due to it just being too explosively emotional for even psychotherapists to keep their sh*t together. Thanks for any and all help! -- Michael https://www.clinicians-exchange.org Professional discussion list for psychotherapists and mental health professionals. -- *Michael Reeder, LCPC * *Hygeia Counseling Services : Baltimore / Mt.

Using mailman-2.6.x: Is it possible to create a list (via CLI or the WUI) which has multiple owner addresses? Why? ==== Often my users want lists with multiple owners, and so I need a way of EITHER: * creating the list with multiple owners, all of which are getting the "Your list has been created"-email OR * re-sending the "Your list has been created"-Email after I manually added the extra owners Enlighten me! -- Ralf Hildebrandt Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Geschäftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netz | Netzwerk-Administration Invalidenstraße 120/121 | D-10115 Berlin Tel. +49 30 450 570 155 ralf.hildebrandt(a)charite.de https://www.charite.de

Noobie: Where's default_moderation_action?
by kevin＠zembower.org 13 Apr '24

13 Apr '24

Hello, all, I'm starting to configure and maintain my first email list, using Mailman 2.1.39, primarily through the mailing list administration web pages. The list is an announcement-only list, with about 5 of the subscribers allowed to post messages. Periodically, I get a new batch of a dozen or so subscribers, that I subscribe using 'Mass subscription.' Then, since the new user's moderation flag is not set, I have to set everyone's moderation flag to On, using the checkbox on the Membership Management page. But, this sets the moderation flag for the five authorized posters, so I have to look each one up and manually unset their moderation flag. How can I avoid these actions and default to 'moderation required' for all new subscribers? I found something about the 'default_moderation_action' variable, but I can't find this in the web interface pages for Mailman 2.1.39. Am I overlooking it somewhere? Thanks for your help and advice. -Kevin

Hi all, A member is subscribed to two lists I run. He can post to one but gets the following error when posting to the other list. I don’t think I have things set differently for any of the lists I run. SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data: 550 Maximum line length exceeded (see RFC 5322 2.1.1). TIA.

Outlook blocked again, but strange response
by Jayson Smith 16 Mar '24

16 Mar '24

Hi, So it's happened again and I have no idea why, though I suspect some of my IP neighbors may have been put on Microsoft's naughty list as my subnet with Linode was recently listed on Uceprotect level 2. Anyway, I go to send an Email to an Outlook user, and get the typical thing, Unfortunately, messages from XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX weren't sent. Fill out the support request, expect to get conditionally mitigated in a few hours…nope. Instead, I get this: Hi , Thanks for your patience, we are currently experiencing technical difficulties and our engineers are working to resolve the issue at the earliest. Thanks again, Outlook.com Deliverability Support Has anyone received this from Microsoft before? If so, will the issue eventually be resolved, or do I need to wait a few days and submit my request again? Thanks, Jayson
