There's a long thread about this already on the freebsd-ports@ list, starting with this message: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2020-April/118351.html and there's this PR: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225543 The problem is that mailman3 is apparently badly documented; has been rewritten in a way significantly incompatible with existing mailman2 setups and despite being 5 years old, is still missing some important functionality that mailman2 has.
