This can be caused when you have a corrupted list or a list does not contain all of it's pieces. I have a small number of lists, so I ran the list_members script for each list until I found the offending list. In my case it was easy because it was a dummy "test" list that I could remove. If others have this issue on a valid list, then they will need to backup the lists files and recreate it. (someone else may have a beter way to fix the corruption depending upon what it is) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tokio Kikuchi (tkikuchi) Date: 2004-10-13 15:06 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=67709 Can you explain more detail of the environment ?

This is really easy to harvest. It may be a better idea to leave the method of obfuscation to the mailman (sys)admin (not list admin). This will result in increased diversity of obfuscation methods on the several pipermail setups and thus to decreased harvesting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1059637&group_…

I realized that the email address obfuscation a la "me at mydomain.com" (at-sign replaced by " at ") instead of "me(a)mydomain.com" (plain at-sign) does not take place if the email address is given in the subject line of an email. Especially spam and email address verification emails put email addresses into the subject line. While this is a bad habit, it still happens and simplifies (re-)harvesting of email addresses from pipermails' archives.

[ mailman-Feature Requests-1059566 ] Message number assignment during archiving with pipermail...
by SourceForge.net Nov. 3, 2004

Nov. 3, 2004

Feature Requests item #1059566, was opened at 2004-11-03 15:33 Message generated for change (Tracker Item Submitted) made by Item Submitter You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=1059566&group_… Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Brad Knowles (shub) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Message number assignment during archiving with pipermail... Initial Comment: Folks, Currently, pipermail will generate a number for each message as it is processing the archive, including importing mbox-format archives from other sources. Unfortunately, the numbers are specific to each installation, so importing an archive from somewhere else causes the message numbers after import to be different. Among other things, this makes it difficult to move a list from one server to another and to set up a simple redirect from the old location to the new one, since the message numbers could well be different between the two sites. It would be really, really nice if pipermail would use something like an md5 hash of the message headers to generate a unique archive id that could be used instead, so that the id could be consistent across systems. Since the "Message-id:" header should be unique for every message, and the date/time stamps and queue-ids used by the various servers (and logged within the "Received:" headers) will almost certainly be slightly different for every message, using an md5 hash should give you a good guarantee that the output pipermail archive id would likewise be completely unique. You could use the lower 16 hex characters of the 128-bit/32- character md5 hash that is typically generated, and your probability of collisions between any two messages will be vanishingly small in the resulting 64-bit space. If you're concerned about filename length, represent the data in base64 format (6 bits per ASCII character instead of four), and get the whole 128-bit hash compressed down to 22 output characters. You could then take a smaller slice and still get more bits of hash output. If you don't like md5 for personal reasons, then maybe sha-1? But please, whatever is used, please, please, please let it be something that could be derived from the headers of the messages themselves and guaranteed to be consistent across systems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=1059566&group_…
