This fixes most of the footer-in-the-attachment problem by 1. convert header, body and footer into unicode 2. then concatnate them 3. try encode with the list charset 4. if fail, encode with the message charset 5. if both attempts fail, make the footer attachment. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=872068&group_i…

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

06 Jan '04

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: 2004-01-06 16:20 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=529503 Update for 2.1.4. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.)

[ mailman-Patches-871062 ] A MemberAdaptor for LDAP-based membership

05 Jan '04

Patches item #871062, was opened at 2004-01-05 12:09 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by fubarobfusco You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=871062&group_i… Category: list administration Group: Mailman 2.1 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: K. A. Krueger (fubarobfusco) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: A MemberAdaptor for LDAP-based membership Initial Comment: This is a module, LDAPMemberships, which extends MemberAdaptor to support membership lists based on a search in an enterprise LDAP directory. With this module, you can make mailing lists which, rather than having a list of member addresses stored in the list, query your LDAP server for member addresses whenever necessary. For instance, if you wish to have a mailing list of all the Vice Presidents in your company, you can express this as an LDAP search: "(title=Vice President*)" and create a mailing list which performs this search and delivers mail to the resulting user accounts when a message is sent to it. This way, rather than manually adding new Vice Presidents to the mailing list, you can simply have Human Resources update the LDAP records, and the change will immediately take effect for the mailing list. Mailman lists with LDAP-based membership can still have moderators, list policies, and the other usual features of Mailman lists. There are a few missing features; notably: 1. There is no bounce processing. 2. There are no per-user preferences. 3. The Web interface still allows you to try setting user preferences, but if you do you will get a stack thrown at you. (Only the "readable" interface of MemberAdaptor is implemented.) 4. The LDAP settings of a list (e.g. LDAP server and search string) are only administrable by editing its "extend.py" file, not over the Web. 5. There is no digest mode. To use this module, you must have the "ldap" Python module installed (aka "python-ldap"). Then just put LDAPMemberships.py in the "Mailman" directory (~mailman/Mailman), create a new list, and write an "extend.py" file in the list directory like so: ##### from Mailman.LDAPMemberships import LDAPMemberships def extend(list): ldap = LDAPMemberships(list) ldap.ldapsearch = "(title=Vice President*)" # members search string ldap.ldapserver = "ldap.example.net" # your enterprise LDAP server ldap.ldapbasedn = "dc=Example dc=net" # your LDAP base DN ldap.ldapbinddn = '' # a bind DN which can read people's 'mail' field ldap.ldappasswd = '' # the password for the bind DN list._memberadaptor = ldap ##### This module has been tested at my site and is in production on a Mailman 2.1.2 installation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: K.

This is with Mailman 2.0.6. Even though I'm behind the times, I'd bet this bug could be in 2.1.X -- I just don't know enough Python to see what's going on. I blew away a bunch of files in my qfiles directory; I didn't save the bad message.

I'm afraid that the mailman community doesn't spend much time keeping their sourceforge bug list clean. I've given a couple of other people the fix, it's an extremely common situation today. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bernhard Reiter (ber) Date: 2004-01-04 15:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=113859 Greg, maybe you should close the bug in addition to send another email to the mailman lists to ask for an 2.0.14 release. An alternative would be to make a patch release, this bug certainly is critical for 2.0.x. On the other hand it most likely does not affect 2.1.x. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Greg Lindahl (greglindahl) Date: 2003-08-06 00:13 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=612574 Thanks -- I see that you fixed all of them in your patch. This should be added to the 2.0.X series. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bernhard Reiter (ber) Date: 2003-08-05 17:41 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=113859 I've submitted a patch for this to the patch tracker 783651 https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=783651&group_id=1… ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bernhard Reiter (ber) Date: 2003-08-05 17:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=113859 I also encountered that bug once at a site of a friend. Take a look at Mailman/Bouncers/Postfix.py and especially the line with boundary = msg.getparam('boundary') this can result in boundary being "None" which is then not treated properly. So add the following check below this with the correct indentation: if not boundary: return None If I remember correctly this was handled completely differently in Mailman 2.1 so I believe that this bug is limited to Mailman 2.0.x. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=726736&group_i…
