Hello I was building Mailman 3. The server is behind a proxy. I was using Django 1.9.1 . After fixing my /etc/environment file to set the correct proxy thing the 403 Forbidden error was resolved well. Another thing I faced was the unsuported keyword used in django render_to_string(template,context_instance=final_context) method. I manually changed it to replace just the context_instance part with context=final_context(checked django docs for that) and things worked out fine after that. Its finally working now. I hope I can start contributing soon! Thanks for the guidance Anirudh
