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: 2004-09-11 20:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=113859 scrubber.patch 2004-08-24 has a problem. Charset(lcset).output_charset can return None according to the documentation. E.g. when no conversion is needed. This would assign Non to lcset_out . Later this leads to an exception in try: if len(charset) == 0: charset = 'us-ascii' t = t.encode(charset, 'replace') except (UnicodeError, LookupError, ValueError): t = t.encode(lcset, 'replace') because: TypeError: len() of unsized object ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tokio Kikuchi (tkikuchi) Date: 2004-08-24 09:58 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=67709 added a fix for the case of lcset_out <> lcset. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. I received a mail bounce on a list with an empty charset in a part (i.e. "charset=") and it caused /var/mailman/cron/senddigest and thus all digest processing to fail because of this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/mailman/cron/senddigests", line 94, in ? main() File "/var/mailman/cron/senddigests", line 86, in main mlist.send_digest_now() File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Digester.py", line 60, in send_digest_now ToDigest.send_digests(self, mboxfp) File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/ToDigest.py", line 123, in send_digests send_i18n_digests(mlist, mboxfp) File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/ToDigest.py", line 295, in send_i18n_digests msg = scrubber(mlist, msg) File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py", line 308, in process t = t.encode(charset, 'replace') File "/usr/lib/python2.2/encodings/__init__.py", line 51, in search_function mod = __import__(modname,globals(),locals(),'*') which is something this patch fixes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=891491&group_i…

Mailman should be able to process 'Orig' and 'REF' headers if 'In-Reply-To' is not set for Lotus Notes. Does anyone have any idea how to do this..?

Watson (tkdubs) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: No "Date:" line in digest header Initial Comment: I am running Mailman-2.1.5. Mailman fails to insert the "Date:" line in the header, which can cause problems for MTA's which do not inject a "Date:" line (such as qmail). Each individual message within the digest has a date line in its header, but the digest itself is missing the Date line. This causes mail readers like Thunderbird to label the message as being sent on Dec. 31, 1969. Most MTA's and MUA's inject a Date line, but I'm using Qmail as an MTA -- which doesn't inject one. It is the job of the MUA (Mailman in this case) to create the Date: line according to RFC-2822. This was fixed for non-digested messages delivered to lists in 2.1-beta-1 of Mailman according to the NEWS file, but has not yet been addressed for delivery of digests. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1023942&group_…

[ mailman-Bugs-1022762 ] common.c is using getgid() instead of getegid

This will only work if mailman is configured to use the group "mail" as that is the only time the real and effective group of mailman will match the configuration. Any programs run by sendmail are real user id of "mail" and real group id of "mail". When using the set group id or set user id flags on an executable file, the program's real group and user values do not change, only their effective group and user id's. I am running Fedora core release 1 (kernel version 2.4.22), mailman version 2.1.5 and sendmail 8.12.10 with "smrsh". The fix is to change line 121 in src/common.c from: mygid = getgid() to mygid = getegid() With this change mailman can be installed as group "mailman" (or any other group besides "mail") instead of group "mail" (which is probably a security issue).

When news_moderation is set to Moderated, but both gateway_to_news and gateway_to_mail are set to No, all mails (even by members) require moderator approval. I think that news_moderation should be ignored when News server settings indicate that no Mail<->News gateway is active. We are two moderators, one newbie and me. The newbie had played around with the settings, and I tried to fix it. It hadn't occured to me to check the Mail<->News gateways section, because we don't use a gateway. A member on #mailman pointed me to the keyword "newsgroup" in the reason given: From: alex(a)emacswiki.org Subject: Re: SWPAT-action in Switzerland Reason: Posting to a moderated newsgroup ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1022562&group_…
