[ mailman-Bugs-1085651 ] Broken PGP/MIME signature of messages with attachments

Bugs item #1085651, was opened at 2004-12-15 03:54 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by egagnon You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1085651&group_… >Category: mail delivery >Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Etienne M. Gagnon (egagnon) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Broken PGP/MIME signature of messages with attachments Initial Comment: Hi, When I send a PGP/MIME signed message *with* attachments (in addition to the PGP signature) to a Mailman-based mailing list, Firefox/Enigmail fails to verify the signature of the message forwarded by mailman. I have uploaded an example message with a broken signature as attachment to this bug. You can also see how Mailman's automatic archives don't even handle such messages correctly by looking at how it archived that message at: http://sablecc.org/lists/sablecc-user/2004-December/000159.html I've looked in the bugs database and found that a somewhat related problem was reported a while ago, but note that the current bug is different. The original bug was about PGP/MIME signed messages without attachments that were handled incorrectly by Enigmail. This one is about messages with attachments, and it is likely that the bug is Mailman's, at least accroding to the reply I got in: http://bugzilla.mozdev.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8466 Thanks for your help (and for the magnificient software)!

Welcome messages should be fully customizable by list administrators that do not have command line/shell access to their mailman installations, an arrangement that is not unusual for hosted ISPs (like mine). Solution: The following one line patch allows the use of the existing editing capability with the subscribeack.txt file. Result: Mailman list administrators without shell access will have more control and can customize welcome messages to exactly meet the needs of their subscribers. --- Note: If this is the right approach I would be happy to follow up with additional patches to adjust the text of the existing "HTML selection" page and other appropriate places. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2003-June/029676.html Note: I obtained this idea from this message by Todd <Freedom_Lover at pobox.com> to Mailman-users and have created this patch for the CVS version of mailman. --- Mailman/Cgi/edithtml.py.orig 2001-11-30 00:00:18.000000000 -0800 +++ Mailman/Cgi/edithtml.py 2004-12-10 12:09:31.000000000 -0800 @@ -42,6 +42,7 @@ template_data = ( ('listinfo.html', _('General list information page')), ('subscribe.html', _('Subscribe results page')) + ('subscribeack.txt', _('Welcome email text file')), ('options.html', _('User specific options page')), ) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry A.

[ mailman-Bugs-1090208 ] Password reminder bug (wrong "From" address, etc)
by SourceForge.net 23 Dec '04

23 Dec '04

Bugs item #1090208, was opened at 2004-12-23 05:13 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by ppsys You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1090208&group_… Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Brett Garrett (dolphyn) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Password reminder bug (wrong "From" address, etc) Initial Comment: Summary of bug: On a system with multiple domains and multiple lists, the password reminder sometimes contains information about a list to which the user is not subscribed, or in some cases, about a list that does not exist. Likewise, the "From" address of the password reminder can be incorrect. Details: The cron script "mailpasswds" contains the following code: siteowner = Utils.get_site_email(host, 'owner') sitereq = Utils.get_site_email(host, 'request') sitebounce = Utils.get_site_email (host, 'bounces') The problem is, this code is oblivious to the user's actual subscriptions. On a CPanel server, for example, it always defaults to mailman-owner@host, etc. This results in confusion among users. Since the "From" address of the reminder is mailman- owner@host and that address is also referenced in the mail, users send their questions to that address -- which may go to the server administrator, or to nobody at all, instead of the appropriate list owner. On my setup (a CPanel system) the following replacement code appears to correct most of the problem (in combination with an "import string" statement near the top of the script): siteowner = string.replace ( listaddr, '@', '- owner@' ) sitereq = string.replace ( listaddr, '@', '- request@' ) sitebounce = string.replace ( listaddr, '@', '- bounces@' ) I have not tested it thoroughly, but I think it corrects the siteowner and sitereq values. (For some reason the corrected sitebounce address does not have any effect. The reminder messages still have a return-path of mailman-bounces@servername instead of the appropriate listname-bounces@host. But, I don't think this matters as much as making sure the siteowner and sitereq addresses are correct.) Thank you! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2004-12-23 11:12 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 CPanel sells a modified version of Mailman as part of its commercial hosting product. They have not made their modifications available to the Open Source developers and users of Mailman. Unless you can identify that this problem is present with unmodified, stable Mailman distribution source from sourceforge you will have to take this matter up with your ISP/or CPanel. This is not least because without the source code of the CPanel modifications it will be problematic diagnosing the cause of the problem you observe. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1090208&group_…

[ mailman-Patches-1088712 ] Use correct char set for command-line scripts

Currently on a system using e.g. LANG=cs_CZ.UTF-8 the Czech (cs) translation is selected, but the output uses the character set of the translation (ISO 8859-2), not UTF-8. The attached patch (roughly against 2.1.5) adds Mailman.i18n.C_(), which works like _(), except that the output is in the LC_CTYPE-specified encoding, and modifies all command-line utilities to use it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=1088712&group_…
