A email delivered "who" command does not deliver addresses that are hidden. Addresses can not be globally un-hidden. Web page presented membeship lists are available only in small batches. Possible solutions: 1) a "who" command or replacement that deliveries the entire membershiip list 2) a, possiblly temorary, global "un-hiding" of addresses so that "who" will supply the entire membership list 3) a web page option that will delivery the entire list by email or other means. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=1156871&group_…

[ mailman-Bugs-1123540 ] can't login to list admin interface

This is not browser related (I have tried with several browsers and have checked cookie settings). When i enter a password into the administrative login page the page just reloads. There is no error message displayed. Mailman version is 2.1.5 running on Debian, with Python 2.2.1 I have checked the log files and there are no relevant error messages. Apache shows a log of the POST request: x.x.x.x - - [16/Feb/2005:09:47:57 +1100] "POST /cgi-bin/mailman/admin/soccer-uni HTTP/1.1" 200 2281 I have found that if i manually enter a GET request I can login. e.g. http://host//cgi-bin/mailman/admin/soccer-uni?adminpw=mypassword However when I try and change any of the settings the page just reloads without the changes. So it looks to be like a problem with processing POST requests. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jason A. Wood (woodja) Date: 2005-03-04 16:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=80504 Restarting apache resolved this issue for me as well. I recently upgraded Python, so maybe it is related to that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Iain Pople (iainpople) Date: 2005-02-15 23:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=881670 Restarting apache resolved this issue. sorry :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1123540&group_…

[ mailman-Feature Requests-788314 ] personal option for explicit reply-to header

Feature Requests item #788314, was opened at 2003-08-13 13:22 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by wkendrick You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=788314&group_i… Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Bernhard Reiter (ber) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: personal option for explicit reply-to header Initial Comment: Some list members have a broken email reader that will not give them a list reply option. Outlook for instance. People using some email readers just don't use it, because the functionality is hidden (like many KMail users). They beg the adminstrator to mangle the reply-to header. Other users of course find that harmful. A per user (and per list?) option to set an explicit reply-to header to the list seems to be a good solution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: William Kendrick (wkendrick) Date: 2005-03-03 12:47 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=132410 Marc Merlin appears to have created a patch for this back in March 2002! http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-developers/2002-March/011068.html I'm assuming it never got brought into the main code...? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bernhard Reiter (ber) Date: 2004-11-15 06:02 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=113859 This is not the duplicate, but the original. ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Brad Knowles (shub) Date: 2004-11-12 16:15 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=18417 Duplicate of 828564? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=788314&group_i…

[ mailman-Bugs-1155455 ] SSL support broken: form posts hard coded to insecure URL

All forms should submit to relative URLs, which will ensure that the correct website prefix is used. The FAQ implies that mailman can be run on a secure webserver and everything should "just work", however this does not seem to be the case. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Graham Leggett (minfrin) Date: 2005-03-03 01:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=129704 No I have not - this was the problem. Please could you add a section to the docs that points this out about setting up SSL - it's way too easy to overlook a tiny option such as this one. In theory there is no need for mailman to post to an absolute URL that I am aware of - is it possible to change it to access relative URLs? This will make mailman significantly easier to use on SSL sites. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tokio Kikuchi (tkikuchi) Date: 2005-03-03 00:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=67709 Have you set DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'https://%s/mailman/' in your mm_cfg.py ?

What should appear instead is a message explaining to the list owner how to delete a list. Obviously this action will require the admin password. Presently the deletion of lists is missing from the admin section, and missing from the documentation I have found so far (the site admin guide, and the list admin guide". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1155480&group_…

Comments: I am not familiar with the Mailman code. I am not sure if there is a simple fix. At really first glace Utils.py has some probably incorrect code in the ParseEmail function. I am not sure if this is the cause, and if so, if it has any side-effects by changing it. I know Mailman internally stores the user part as lower case, but for mail delivery purposes it should retain the case. The function (in 2.1.6b4) I am guessing should probably look more like this: def ParseEmail(email): user = None domain = None at_sign = email.find('@') if at_sign < 1: return email, None user = email[:at_sign] rest = email[at_sign+1:].lower() domain = rest.split('.') return user, domain ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1155029&group_…
