Hey all,

so far we could not find the reason behind the problem. However while reviewing the installation process one one our team mentioned that he read the installation instructions for Hyperkitty different then the rest of the team.

Are Mailman3/Postorius and Hyperkitty supposed to run in separated databases, or are they supposed to use the same database?

Thanks in advance for clarification!

Hey all,

last week we caught some AI bots causing high LOAD on our mailman3 servers archive, that we blocked with nginx rules.

I'm not sure if it is related to this incident, but we noticed this when analyzing the log files at the time. In the mailman.log hyperkitty is listed 10k times and more to archive a single mail over the time of 2h, seemingly all with the same process ID

> (1186) HyperKitty archived message [...]

The mailman3-web.log has matching log entries that the mail was archived

> hyperkitty.views.mailman Archived message

every 0.5 seconds.

In the web interface to the archive, the mail is only listed once though.

My suspicion is, that these archiving processes are now overloading the system, preventing a timely catching up work of the queued messages. I could not find anything in the Mailman3 nor Hyperkitty documentation to better distribute the system resources to the Mailman runner or prevent Hyperkitty to restart archiving a mail over and over again.

Any hint about where to look for the reason of this is highly appreciated.

Best,
  Tobias
