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: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2003-04-18 18:43 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 Andrew, to get the url for the archived message use mlist.GetBaseArchiveURL(), which knows about private vs. public archives, the host name and the list name. From there you should be able to tack on just the part of the path under "archives/private/listname". See Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py for an example. Only other minor comment: NUM_ARTICLES can probably go in Defaults.py.in ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Justin Mason (jmason) Date: 2003-03-26 16:49 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=935 big thumbs up from me too.

But mailmanctl fails to set the supplemental groups of the process to those of the setuid'ed user, effectively leaving the processes with the same group privileges as root and, potentially, without the group privileges of the setuid'ed user. This patch uses os.setgroups() to fix that. Problem definition and solution by Jonas Meurer. I'm just filing the bug fix for him.

The exit statuses now returned are drawn from the mail related values defined in /usr/include/sysexits.h This allows the MTA to return more meaningful responses to the sender when rejecting mail. It also allows a more sympathetic treatment of mail in the event that the Python script suffers an unexpected exception when handling incoming email. Such exceptions are now logged to MM's $prefix/logs/erro in all but the most extreme error cases and the internal information about the Python exception is not passed into the response to the sender.

All subject to a bunch of conditions most prominent of which is that the server has to be pretty much dedicated to MM. This patch draws on an original contribution by David Champion <dgc(a)uchicago.edu> which is included in the contrib directory of the Mailman 2.1b distribution as mm-handler. See the README.SENDMAIL.mailer installed by this patch for differences between this and David's Perl original and more information of what you are getting into if you use this patch.

[ mailman-Patches-444884 ] Integration of Mailman & htdig for archi
by SourceForge.net Sept. 30, 2003

Sept. 30, 2003

Patches item #444884, was opened at 2001-07-26 18:27 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by ppsys 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: 2003-09-30 20:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 htdig-2.1.3-0.1.patch is a MM 2.1.3 compatible version of the patch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2003-06-06 17:47 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 last comment should have read: htdig-2.1.2-0.4.patch.gz corrects an error in 2 scripts, mmsearch.py and remote_mmsearch, which caused an exception if list archives were being accessed via HTTPS and a search was performed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2003-06-06 17:45 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 htdig-2.1.2-0.3.patch.gz corrects an error in 2 scripts, mmsearch.py and remote_mmsearch, which caused an exception if list archives were being accessed via HTTPS and a search was performed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2003-05-01 19:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 htdig-2.1.2-0.3.patch.gz adds some minor performance improvement in template handling in MM 2.1.2 You should consider also applying this bug-fis patch: [ 730769 ] template access hierarchy is broken http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? func=detail&aid=730769&group_id=103&atid=100103 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2003-04-28 15:44 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 htdig-2.1.2-0.2.patch.gz corrects error in file uploaded as htdig-2.1.2-0.1.patch.gz.

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.

[ mailman-Patches-444879 ] Archive indexer control to improve index
by SourceForge.net Sept. 30, 2003

Sept. 30, 2003

Patches item #444879, was opened at 2001-07-26 18:01 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by ppsys You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=444879&group_i… Category: Pipermail Group: Mailman 2.2 / 3.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 3 Submitted By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Assigned to: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Summary: Archive indexer control to improve index Initial Comment: This patch is applicable to Mailman 2.0.6 release and supercedes ealier patches 401669 and 402422. This patch should improve the quality of search results returned by search engines such as htdig (http://www.htdig.org) where the seach engine's index builder responds to strings embedded in the html pages that are the subject of the indexing. The changes in this patch: 1. allow strings for enabling and disabling indexing to be defined in mm_cfg.py. 2. embeds those strings in the pages generated as the html version of a list's archive. By default nothing in the html changes. To get the desired effect, you must define ARCHIVE_INDEXING_ENABLE and ARCHIVE_INDEXING_DISABLE in mm_cfg.py You probably want to run this patch as follows: cd <mailman 2.0.6 untarred and unzipped directory> patch -p1 < <this patch file> See also the associated patch for integrating the htdig search software with mailman's internal archiver ouput. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2003-09-30 20:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 indexing-2.1.3-0.1.patch is a MM 2.1.3 compatible version of the patch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2003-04-28 14:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 indexing-2.1.2-0.1.patch.gz no longer needs patch #661138 to be applied as that patch was incorporated in the MM 2.1.2 release ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2003-04-28 14:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 indexing-2.1.2-0.1.patch.gz is revised for MM 2.1.2 compatibility.

Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2002-08-08 14:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 Another question: is there no standard (de-facto or otherwise) for generic markup that tells indexers not to index a particular section? IOW, for ARCHIVE_INDEXING_ENABLE and ARCHIVE_INDEXING_DISABLE, is there some generic value that would instruct most (all?) indexers to ignore that section? Or does it necessarily have to be indexer specific? I'm thinking of the situation where you might have ht://Dig installed locally, but your archives are still being spidered by external indexers. It would be good if something more generic could be added to Defaults.py.in ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2002-08-08 14:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 Looking at the 2.1b2 patch, why does it try to create HyperArch.py.orig and Defaults.py.in.orig?

Initial Comment: Mailman _must_ not touch MIME-parts which are nested more deeply in the mail. As tested with Mailman 2.1.2, header lines will be sometimes reformatted in message/rfc822 attachments which will break the OpenPGP signature (also conforming to the PGP/MIME standard) on that part. I'm attaching a simple email with on long header. Forward this as MIME part and sign it sending it through Mailman, the signature will be broken. This is an email security affecting bug, because if people start believing that a *BAD* signature does not mean much, because they get many broken by mailman, they will not react to a seriously manipulated email anymore! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Bernhard Reiter (ber) Date: 2003-09-30 19:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=113859 Here is the email signed by myself and broken after delivery through mailman.
