Mailman 3
Starting from April 2021, we now use Mailman 3 for managing our mailing lists. Mailman 3 is split into three independent components:
- Mailman 3 Core is responsible for sending and receiving emails.
- Postorius is the web admin UI for creating and managing mailing lists.
- HyperKitty is the archiver, where past messages can be viewed and searched.
Day-to-Day Operations
The Django admin site for Mailman 3 is accessible from here. Generally, you'll only need to use this to see the list of accounts, and to assign/remove permissions from them.
If you are logged in as a superuser, you should be able to see a list of all the mailing lists from here. After clicking on a list, you should be able to access and modify all of its settings, including subscription policy and message acceptance. Most of the setting names should be self-explanatory. For example, under 'Held Messages', you can see a list of all held messages, and take an action on each one (discard, reject, accept, etc.).
Installation
The steps below describe how Mailman 3 was installed on the mail container and how we migrated the lists from Mailman 2. Note that some lists
were not migrated due to inactivity. See /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases in the mail container to see which lists were not
migrated.
