[ mailman-Bugs-707604 ] remove_members doesn't use default setting

[ mailman-Patches-444884 ] Integration of Mailman & htdig for archi

by SourceForge.net

Patches item #444884, was opened at 2001-07-26 18:27 You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=444884&group_i… Category: Unofficial 2.0 patch Group: Mailman 2.2 / 3.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 3 Submitted By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Assigned to: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Summary: Integration of Mailman & htdig for archi Initial Comment: This patch is applicable to Mailman 2.0.6 release that has had search enhancement patch 444879 patch installed - if your Defaults.py has the ARCHIVE_INDEXING_ENABLE and ARCHIVE_INDEXING_DISABLE in it then you've got that patch. It replaces earlier patches 401670 and 402423 and is mainly to correct some problems arising from fixes introduced into Mailman by bug fix releases since the 402423 patch. This patch integrates htdig with Mailman and provides: 1. per list search facility with a search form on the list's TOC page. 2. maintenance of privacy of private archives which requires the user to establish their credentials via the normal private archive access before any access via htdig is allowed. 3. a common base URL for both public and private archive access via htsearch results so that htdig indices are unaffected by changingan archive from private to public and vice versa. All access to archives via htdig is controlled by a new wrapped cgi- bin script called htdig.py. 4. a new cron activated script and extra crontab entry which runs htdig regularly to maintain the per list search indices. 5. automatic creation, deletion and maintenance of htdig configuration files and such. Beyond installing htdig and telling Mailman where it is via mm_cfg you do not have to do any other setup. Well not quite you do have to set up a single per installation symlink to allow htdig to find the automatically generated per list htdig configuration files. You probably want to run this patch as follows: cd <mailman 2.0.6 untarred and unzipped directory> patch -p1 < <this patch file> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2003-03-20 14:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 htdig-2.1.1-0.2.patch.gz close a security exploit which allows leakage of information held in htdig's per-list search indexes to users not authorized to view private list archives. Read file INSTALL.htdig-mm installed by this patch for details and instructions for upgrading MM installations using earlier versions of this patch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2003-02-10 15:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 htdig-2.1.1-0.1.patch.gz introduces no functional change but applies without offset warnings to MM 2.1.1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2003-02-05 18:12 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 It seems it is possible, if this patch is installed, for a list's htdig conf file and the list specific htdig index db files to be read directly through the web interface for list archives. Even if this patch isn't installed it seems a list's pipermail.pck file can also be read directly through the web interface for list archives. This seems to be true for accesses via /pipermail for public lists and via /mailman/private for private lists. The problem does not occur for htdig search results accessed via /mailman/htdig as the htdig.py script is more protective than private.py Broadly speaking the data affected is availble to a user in normal operation which is why I do not consider the issue to be a security breach as such. Adding the following RewriteRule to Apache's httpd.conf prevents the situation, assuming you got the RewriteEngine On: RewriteRule ^(/pipermail/.*)/(pipermail.pck|htdig/[^/]*)$ $1/index.html [F] RewriteRule ^(/mailman/private/.*)/(pipermail.pck|htdig/[^/]*)$ $1/index.htm l [F] You could, of course, substitute an R flag for the F flag on the RewriteRules and be more hacker friendly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2003-01-22 14:20 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 htdig-2.1-0.3.patch corrects yet another bug in htdig.py.

Kuchling (akuchling) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Generate RSS summary in archives Initial Comment: Here's a first-draft patch. Things that need fixing: * The generated RSS feed needs to be validated. (It passed the W3C's RDF validator, but RSS validators still need to be checked.) * The date should be given in YYYY-MM-DD format, which requires parsing the .fromdate attribute. * How do I get the URL for an archived message? The generated RSS currently just uses the filename, which is wrong. How do I get at the PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL setting? * Getting the most recent N postings is inefficient; the code loops through all of the archived messages and takes the last N of them. We could add .last() and .prev() methods to the Database class, but that's more ambitious for 2.1beta than I like. (Would be nice to get this into 2.1final...) * The list index page should have a LINK element pointing to the RSS file.

Messages signed with a key present in the whitelist could go skip moderation, messages in the blacklist would be either ignored or rejected, and all other messages could go through moderation. That way, PGP signatures are not required, but those using them would see their messages delivered quickly. Mailman would have two keyrings, and would manage them by specifying --keyring to gpg. PGP keys would be retreived from a PGP key server. When moderating a message that was signed with a key missing from the whitelist, there would be an option named "Add key to whitelist", and an other one for the blacklist. Keys could be added to the white/blacklist through the web interface by specifying at least a key ID, and mailman would ask gpg to fetch the key from mailman's default key server.

Stopping. Jan 18 14:29:12 2003 (3444) NewsRunner qrunner exiting. No other log has any indication of what might be happening. Is there a way to increase the logging somewhere so the cause can be identified? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: David Gibbs (midrangeman) Date: 2003-03-17 11:44 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=86339 Additional environment details: Redhat Linux 8.0, uname = "Linux xxx.midrange.com 2.4.18- 26.8.0 #1 Mon Feb 24 10:21:42 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux" Python: 2.2.1 CPU: P4 2.4ghz, 512mb RAM Dunno if this makes a difference, but I have the following directories ... /usr/lib/python1.5 /usr/lib/python2.1 /usr/lib/python2.2 Any chance there is a conflict? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Gibbs (midrangeman) Date: 2003-01-24 12:31 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=86339 I added some debug code to mailmanctl and found out that the sigalarm handler is firing just before the qrunners are terminating. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Gibbs (midrangeman) Date: 2003-01-22 15:31 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=86339 After some further research, QRUNNER seems to stop after exactly 24 hours of operation. That is, 24 hours after qrunner starts, it ends as if someone killed it with SIGTERM. I know for a fact that nobody is actually doing this ... and no process on my system should be aware of the fact that qrunner is actually running. I will not discount the possiblity that this is an environmental factor, but it seems to me that a daemon process should not be affected by environmental factors. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2003-01-19 16:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 I'm not sure what kind of logging would help. Some process somewhere is SIGTERMing the mailmanctl controller process. There's no way to know where a signal is coming from, so I'm not sure what more you could do in mailmanctl. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=670535&group_i…

[ mailman-Bugs-704912 ] Invitation bug

I suspect this has something to do with MIME decoding of the Subject: header. When sending a reply to the autogenerated invitation (in my case, using pine), with this header: Subject: Re: =?iso-8859-1?q?confirm_55ed0163ec2f0a56ac257f708b 470b6a892935f2?= nothing happened. But when sending a reply with this header (which was the case if I used Netscape Mail or Evolution): Subject: Re: confirm 9924a8cb2e31d2f1605ca6228ff210901ff17aba I was subscribed. Maybe Mailman doesn't decode the Subject: before parsing it? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=704912&group_i…

[ mailman-Patches-534577 ] Add SpamAssassin filter to mail pipeline

by SourceForge.net

Patches item #534577, was opened at 2002-03-25 16:17 You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=534577&group_i… Category: list administration >Group: Mailman 2.1 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 1 Submitted By: James Henstridge (jhenstridge) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Add SpamAssassin filter to mail pipeline Initial Comment: This filter adds support for discarding or holding spam sent to the mailing list. It contacts a spamd daemon (from SpamAssassin -- http://spamassassin.taint.org) to score the message. If the score is above a certain threshold (default 10), the message is discarded and an entry is written to the vette log. If the score is above another lower threshold (default 5), the message is held for moderation. The SpamAssassin.py file should be installed in Mailman/Handlers/. The LIST_PIPELINE variable in Mailman/Handlers/HandlerAPI.py should be modified to include a 'SpamAssassin' item (I put it just after the existing 'SpamDetect' item). To change the defaults, the following can be added to the mm_cfg.py file: SPAMASSASSIN_HOST = 'host:port' # how to contact SA SPAMASSASSIN_DISCARD_SCORE = 10 SPAMASSASSIN_HOLD_SCORE = 5 If you don't want to discard messages, then DISCARD_SCORE can be set to something very high (1000 should do it). It looks the MM2.1 filter APIs have changed a bit, so this filter will need some modifications to work with that version. When I get round to upgrading, I might look into updating it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: James Henstridge (jhenstridge) Date: 2003-03-17 13:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=146903 Attached is an updated version of the filter for adding SpamAssassin support to mailman. This version is targetted at Mailman 2.1.x. The code for talking to spamd has been split out into a separate file, so that it can be updated independently of the Mailman specific code. It has also been updated to work with SpamAssassin 2.50 (and should be a lot more robust to future additions to the spamd protocol). The filter has also been changed to use the list name as the username passed to spamd, which means that separate auto-whitelists and bayes databases can be maintained for each list. Installation is trivial. Simply copy spamd.py and SpamAssassin.py to the Mailman/Handlers directory and add the following line to Mailman/mm_cfg.py: GLOBAL_PIPELINE.insert(1, 'SpamAssassin') ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sean Reifschneider (jafo) Date: 2002-08-23 14:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=81797 That last one had a missing quote.
