Patches item #657951, was opened at 2002-12-23 14:17 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by akuchling You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=657951&group_i… Category: Pipermail Group: Mailman 2.2 / 3.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 7 Submitted By: A.M. 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. Please make any comments you have, and I'll rework the patch accordingly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: A.M.

Kuchling (akuchling) Date: 2003-07-10 20:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=11375 Here at last is an updated version of the patch that's crawling closer to being complete. There's now a RSS_NUM_ARTICLES setting in Defaults.py, the generated URLs are correct, and I modified the English template to link to the RSS file. Remaining things: check the generated RSS for correctness; edit all of the other language templates to include the RSS file (I may ask for CVS write access to do that).

This would simply send an invalid address message back to the sender. Usually used for spam emails with members only posting. Would greatly reduce spam as the invalid address would be removed by most automated spamming systems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Tuma (tuma) Date: 2003-07-07 21:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=64192 I agree - this would be a wonderful feature!! I recently had to change my "wide-open" list to a moderated list because the spam reached unprecedented / unacceptable levels. Many of my list members were dropping off the list because they couldn't afford to receive porn advertisements at their work email addresses any longer. Now that it's a moderated list, I have to login at least once daily to reject all the spam that is in the inbox. If I had a "Bounce" option in addition to the "Defer/Accept/Reject/Discard" options, this might help reduce the flow of spam in the future. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=604841&group_i…

Initial Comment: One of the mailman crontab scripts (I think qrunner) has been writing a new log file every minute since I installed mailman 4 months ago. 400,000 separate logfiles later, my /var partition fills up with the inodes of these empty files effectively disabling most of my favourite services. Nasty. Currently taking over 5 hours to clean up /var. I have disabled the mailman crontab. I'm using version 2.0.9-1 (RedHat RPM). Is this fixed in subsequent versions? Something like appending to an existing logfile would be nice. Anyone else using mailman, I'd advise giving your system a periodic 'df -i' just in case this miserable fate befalls you too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Jon Haynes (senyahnoj) Date: 2003-07-04 14:57 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=815874 I'm using RedHat 7.3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Barry A.

Initial Comment: One of the mailman crontab scripts (I think qrunner) has been writing a new log file every minute since I installed mailman 4 months ago. 400,000 separate logfiles later, my /var partition fills up with the inodes of these empty files effectively disabling most of my favourite services. Nasty. Currently taking over 5 hours to clean up /var. I have disabled the mailman crontab. I'm using version 2.0.9-1 (RedHat RPM). Is this fixed in subsequent versions? Something like appending to an existing logfile would be nice. Anyone else using mailman, I'd advise giving your system a periodic 'df -i' just in case this miserable fate befalls you too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=765935&group_i…
