[ mailman-Bugs-833384 ] wrong moderator password shouldn't silently discard message

by SourceForge.net

Bugs item #833384, was opened at 2003-10-30 17:05 Message generated for change (Tracker Item Submitted) made by Item Submitter You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=833384&group_i… Category: None Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Ken Olum (kdolum) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: wrong moderator password shouldn't silently discard message Initial Comment: If you reply to the approval required message and give an approved: line, but mistype the password, the pending message is silently discarded. I think that's a scary misfeature. I think in this case it should reject your confirmation mail with an error saying that the password is wrong, since obviously you're attempting to get the message approved. Otherwise, you never know that the message has been discarded except that you don't see it appear on the list, and then it is too late to recover it. It would also be nice for the site password to be usable for message approval. (Now you see how I discovered the problem above.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=833384&group_i…

[ mailman-Bugs-820322 ] Crash when global subcription change causes collision

by SourceForge.net

Bugs item #820322, was opened at 2003-10-08 22:47 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by simonha You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=820322&group_i… Category: (un)subscribing Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Rich Pasco (pasco) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Crash when global subcription change causes collision Initial Comment: I ran into this bug in MailMan version 2.1.2 today: If you change your e-mail address "globally" (on all lists to which you subscribe), and one of those lists (other than the one whose options page you're working from) already has a subscription under your new address (as well as your old address), then MailMan will crash (and display an exception traceback). For example, I was working from the web-team page http://domain.net/mailman/options/listname as I tried to change my address globally. This would affect about ten lists to which my old address subscribed, including a list called "Team" among others. But "Team" already had my new address among its subscribers, so it could not accept another one. Rather than giving a graceful error message when it discovered this, MailMan just crashed. I didn't capture the exception traceback, but it should be easy to reproduce. - Rich ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Simon Harrison (simonha) Date: 2003-10-30 11:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=898088 I have experience the same problem, here is our traceback: Traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1.2/scripts/driver", line 87, in run_main main() File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1.2/Mailman/Cgi/confirm.py", line 131, in main addrchange_confirm(mlist, doc, cookie) File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1.2/Mailman/Cgi/confirm.py", line 492, in addrchange_confirm op, oldaddr, newaddr = mlist.ProcessConfirmation(cookie) File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1.2/Mailman/MailList.py", line 1113, in ProcessConfirmation self.ApprovedChangeMemberAddress(oldaddr, newaddr, globally) File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1.2/Mailman/MailList.py", line 1048, in ApprovedChangeMemberAddress mlist.changeMemberAddress(oldaddr, newaddr) File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1.2/Mailman/OldStyleMemberships. py", line 251, in changeMemberAddress password=xxxxxxxx, language=lang) File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1.2/Mailman/OldStyleMemberships. py", line 175, in addNewMember raise Errors.MMAlreadyAMember, member MMAlreadyAMember: oneofourusers(a)ourorganisation.org.uk ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=820322&group_i…

[ mailman-Patches-818601 ] "Announcement-only" (read only) list

by SourceForge.net

Patches item #818601, was opened at 2003-10-06 22:07 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by hatukanezumi You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=818601&group_i… Category: Web UI Group: Mailman 2.2 / 3.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Hatuka*nezumi (hatukanezumi) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) >Summary: "Announcement-only" (read only) list Initial Comment: Documents say that Mailman "supports a wide range of mailing list types, such as general discussion lists and announce-only lists". It's exactly true. But some people wish really "announcement-only" feature. By `Announcement-only' feature: o Posting by e-mail is not allowed at all. All messages to posting address are forwarded to owners and no other users won't receive it. o Web interface is provided so that only specified users ("posters") can post messages to list. For example for `mail magazine' publishers, `announcement-only' list is safer (Oooops! I've approved the SPAM!) and let them be free from moderation tasks. Changes on codes: o New CGI script `post'. o New handler `Posttop' which switches messages bound to list to owners (only on annnouncement-only list). o New `announcement_only' configuration directive. o Some modifications of templates. Notice: By now this is buggie (both in Python and English). Comments and Fixes are welcome. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Hatuka*nezumi (hatukanezumi) Date: 2003-10-29 19:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=529503 rel.1.0. o Confusing "announcement-only" has been changed to "read-only". o New admin category. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Hatuka*nezumi (hatukanezumi) Date: 2003-10-09 23:51 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=529503 rel.0.2. * Posttop handler now placed after Hold handler so that spam discarding and auto-response are capable. * Global pipelone processing are ommitted when: -------------------------------------- SpamDetect : [A] and [W] Approve : [W] ReplyBot : [W] Moderate : [A] Hold : - administrivia : [A] - too many recips : [A] - implicit dest. : [A] - suspicious headers : [A] and not [W] - message size : [A] and not [W] - news moderation : [A] and not [W] Posttop : (if [A], may be switched to owner pipeline.)
