The default language of the Mailman installation is English (USA) which gives usascii as encoding. This is a stable Debian with Python 2.1.3. The password reminders to be send to this person are shunted because of: Uncaught runner exception: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range(128) File "/home/services/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 111, in _oneloop self._onefile(msg, msgdata) File "/home/services/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 167, in _onefile keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/home/services/mailman/Mailman/Queue/OutgoingRunner.py", line 73, in _dispose self._func(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/home/services/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py", line 152, in process deliveryfunc(mlist, msg, msgdata, envsender, refused, conn) File "/home/services/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py", line 356, in bulkdeliver msgtext = msg.as_string() File "/home/services/mailman/Mailman/Message.py", line 208, in as_string g.flatten(self, unixfrom=unixfrom) File "/home/services/mailman/pythonlib/email/Generator.py", line 102, in flatten self._write(msg) File "/home/services/mailman/pythonlib/email/Generator.py", line 130, in _write self._dispatch(msg) File "/home/services/mailman/pythonlib/email/Generator.py", line 156, in _dispatch meth(msg) File "/home/services/mailman/pythonlib/email/Generator.py", line 202, in _handle_text self._fp.write(payload) UnicodeError: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range(128) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Bernhard Reiter (ber) Date: 2005-01-18 13:12 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=113859 It might not be the right place to discuss it, but the restriction of character sets makes it easier to guess and try the password and less usable for non-English users because they probably have a harder time remembering the password. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tokio Kikuchi (tkikuchi) Date: 2005-01-18 01:11 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=67709 OK, fix was in time for 2.1.6 for password reminder from web interface only; monthly reminder has already been fixed. Password retrieval by mail command is still not fixed. 8bit password by mail command needs more study because the request mail might be encoded (quoted or base64). I would prefer restricting password characters within ascii-printables because there is no cryptography in mailman user passwords. You only get (steal) the config file to get the plain text password. You don't have to run 'crack' to guess the password from crypted passwd entry like in Unix. In any event, next major version of mailman should be free of user password. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bernhard Reiter (ber) Date: 2005-01-17 12:27 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=113859 If a user changes his password and just types a character on the keyboard that is non-usascii. :-) Restricting the password characters to usascii seems to be a bad idea because it will lower the possibilities for passwords, making them cryptographically weaker. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tokio Kikuchi (tkikuchi) Date: 2005-01-17 01:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=67709 Sorry but fix will be after 2.1.6 release. In the meantime, the site owner can reset the password of this person from bin/withlist script. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tokio Kikuchi (tkikuchi) Date: 2005-01-17 01:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=67709 I have no idea how laten-1 8bit characters to be included in a us-ascii english list password reminder. Maybe we should restrict password within us-ascii printables. I want to work on this direction so I am assigning this to myself. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1090439&group_…

I am curious how you manage gb2312 list. And also, what language message caused this error? There may be incomplete translations and may cause such error. Particularly, big5 (zh_TW) may contain '%' in the second byte of a 16bit character and may cause trouble. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1080508&group_…

[ mailman-Feature Requests-1102176 ] Track invited emails

Feature Requests item #1102176, was opened at 2005-01-14 09:00 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by tkikuchi You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=1102176&group_… Category: None >Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Dwayne Bailey (dwaynebailey) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Track invited emails Initial Comment: Currently there is no tracking of people who have been sent invite emails. This cause a problem in that you might invite people from a given list of emails to join the mailing list. Then from some other list or at some other time you might issue another invite. Receiving a number of invites from a list that you are not interested looks bad. It would be great if Mailman could track email addresses that have been invited and just like invites are not sent to people already subscribed they are not sent to people already invited. The use could of course have the option to ignore the "already invited" list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Tokio Kikuchi (tkikuchi) Date: 2005-01-17 00:56 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=67709 This is more of a feature request. So moving this to RFE. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=1102176&group_…
