[ mailman-Patches-850805 ] Aggressive anti email address harvesting measure

Patches item #850805, was opened at 2003-11-28 17:23 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by mmokrejs You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=850805&group_i… Category: Pipermail Group: Mailman 2.1 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Aggressive anti email address harvesting measure Initial Comment: This patch is prompted by discussion on the mailman- developers list won the following subject: Re: [Mailman-Developers] bugtraq submission warning: email address harvesting exploit For those with deep concerns about email address harvesting this patch offers a more aggressive masking of email addresses in Mailman mail archive files. The patch modifes two files in the standard Mailman distribution: Mailman/Defaults.py and Mailman/Cgi/ private.py and can be applied using the following command from within the Mailman build directory: path -p1 < path-to-patch-file It would be fairly trivial to make enabling this feature per- list configurable rather than it being a site admin decision and I will enhance this patch for that purpose if people show an interest in it being done. The following notes about the patch can be found in Defaults.py. Rather idiosyncratically most of the operational elements of this patch are in that file. My reasoning behind this decision is that if people want to fool with the regexes that are at the heart of this patch they can see what will be affected by the changes more readily if the related bits are in the same place. ##### # Anti-spam email address harvesting prevention measures. # # These measures are to limit the ability of spam generators to acquire # email address from archived material in Mailman's list archives. # Implementation is via a dynamic search and replace for email # addresses, appearing in files of MIME type text/html or text/plain, as # those files are requested. The underlying archive file content as # generated by the archiving software remains unchanged. # # The implementation requires that archive files are all delivered by a # modified private.py CGI script which only requires user authentication # if the list whose archive material is being requested is set up as a private # list. In order to get public archives served by private.py a RewriteRule # like this: # # RewriteRule ^/pipermail/(.*) /mailman/private/$1 [PT] # # needs to be used in the Apache httpd.conf to transparently redirect # public arechive file requests. # # When email addresses are found, the domain part of the addressed is replaced # with a string of 'x' characters. If the local part of the address appears to # have been VERP'ed then the VERP information is similarly obscured. This is # a fairly brutal set of irreversible modifications to any email addresses in # the returned text and will break any mailto: links in the text. # # Th eamil address regex looks for either an '@' character or its HTML escaped # version '%40' as the local-part/domain separator. You should set # ARCHIVER_OBSCURES_EMAILADDRS = 0 and run bin/arch to rebuild existing archives # to prevent that feature interfering with the operation of these harvesting # prevention measures. # # If you decide to change the regexes then copy all of this stuff into # mm_cfg.py and make the changes there. # ##### ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin Mokrejs (mmokrejs) Date: 2004-04-20 02:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=696559 What sould I do with this error caused by the patch?

This can include mailto URLs, other URLs and Message ids. This side-effect may make the patch unsuitable for use with your system, although you also need to consider that the patch does not irreversibly change the source pipermail archived material held on the server; the changes are only made in the copy of the archive material sent to the requesting browser by the server. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=850805&group_i…

The purpose of the patch is to produce a fusion of (hopefully) the best features of pipermail and MHonArc for handling Mailman mailing list archives.

This patch item is opened to collect such patches for convenience. This patch corrects: - if an attached text is composed by win notepad, it has no charset specified and actual charset may be different from message/list charset. This sometimes cause error in composing digest message. - sometimes, null charset is represented by '' as well as None. - embedded rfc-2822 message is lost if you don't use msg.walk() - special problem with japanese charsets. - t (stringfied part) may be None which you can't append a '\n'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bernhard Reiter (ber) Date: 2004-04-14 20:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=113859 Thanks for working on the patch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tokio Kikuchi (tkikuchi) Date: 2004-02-25 11:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=67709 uploading revised patch. Now fixes a few more bugs which try to decode scrub plain text message and result in mojibake. Also, japanese filename tend to become so long that system limit may exceeded because of mime encoding, so add an option not to use the filename in the message but to use 'attachment' as filename. Because this patch spans two files (Defaults.py.in and Handlers/Scrubber.py) you have to cd mailman and patch -p1 < this_patch. (Well, I think it is -p1. If it didn't work, try -p0 ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jonathan Larmour (jifl) Date: 2004-02-22 18:25 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=817601 I strongly recommend applying this patch.
