Patches item #657951, was opened at 2002-12-23 14:17 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by bwarsaw You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=657951&group_i… Category: Pipermail Group: Mailman 2.2 / 3.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 7 Submitted By: A.M. Kuchling (akuchling) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Generate RSS summary in archives Initial Comment: Here's a first-draft patch. Things that need fixing: * The generated RSS feed needs to be validated. (It passed the W3C's RDF validator, but RSS validators still need to be checked.) * The date should be given in YYYY-MM-DD format, which requires parsing the .fromdate attribute. * How do I get the URL for an archived message? The generated RSS currently just uses the filename, which is wrong. How do I get at the PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL setting? * Getting the most recent N postings is inefficient; the code loops through all of the archived messages and takes the last N of them. We could add .last() and .prev() methods to the Database class, but that's more ambitious for 2.1beta than I like. (Would be nice to get this into 2.1final...) * The list index page should have a LINK element pointing to the RSS file. Please make any comments you have, and I'll rework the patch accordingly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2003-04-18 18:43 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 Andrew, to get the url for the archived message use mlist.GetBaseArchiveURL(), which knows about private vs. public archives, the host name and the list name. From there you should be able to tack on just the part of the path under "archives/private/listname". See Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py for an example. Only other minor comment: NUM_ARTICLES can probably go in Defaults.py.in ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Justin Mason (jmason) Date: 2003-03-26 16:49 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=935 big thumbs up from me too.

Kuchling (akuchling) Date: 2002-12-23 15:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=11375 Updated patch: * Dates are now rendered as ISO-8601 (date only, not the time of the message) * By hard-wiring 2002-December, I got the RSS to validate using Mark Pilgrim's validator. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: captain larry (captainlarry) Date: 2002-12-23 14:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=147905 Just voting for support here.

Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2005-04-29 14:27 Message: Logged In: NO I also experienced a similar problem, but was able to fix it. In my case, it appears to have been related to a python version number: the qrunner program was running against one python version, but was actually using features defined in a later version. In my case, I had Python 2.2 installed with the operating system, but had subsequently installed version 2.4.1. I fixed the problem by re-installing mailman with an explicit reference to the later python version (./configure --with-python=...), and then rebooting the system. After that, it was fine. (The reboot was to get qrunner running against the later python version: it seemed the old version was running whatever I might do with chkconfig or /etc/init.d/mailman. Rebooting was maybe a sledgehammer to crack a nut.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: James Hammett (james968) Date: 2005-03-14 07:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=310971 Running version 2.1.2.

After this, subscriptions fail with a permissions error. Since the listname/en directory is unreadable, there is a permissions error for the e-mail script that tries to send a confirmation message back to the user. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1190404&group_…

[ mailman-Bugs-1168999 ] OutgoingRunner gets in expensive recursive loop

Running "strace" on the process I see it constantly deleting and reimplanting the same queue file in qfiles/out/ over and over, many times per second. The initial problem inurred with a 2.1.2 install, but installing 2.1.6b4 shows the same. Unfortunately the problem is somewhat ephemeral when trying to diagnose it - if I manage to kill the OutgoingRunner between a read and write, the queue file gets lost the the problem disappears for a while. I don't know if it is useful, but attached is the strace output of a complete read/write cycle. I haven't had the opportunity to further debug it (by stepping through the python) as currently I am not in this state. I am not sure how long it will be until it is triggered again, but it has happened about 4 times in the past two weeks. It has never occured before this over 3 years. I consider this issue fairly problematic - the machine becomes unusable when it reaches this state due to CPU exhaustion. Any tips of helping isolate the problem are welcome. I have modified mailmanctl to run all queuerunners with a verbose flag, so next time maybe there will be useful information logged. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Kim Davies (kjd) Date: 2005-04-26 15:30 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=168657 I have managed to captures a number of qfiles that are causing this phenomenon (which is recurring more often the past few weeks). They have the following properties: - They are all "Post by non-member to a members-only list " responses to spam that has gone to a moderated list. - They come from non-existant domains.

The mail wrapper is setgid to mailmain to allow this: rwxr-sr-x 1 mailman mailman 7856 Mar 21 03:13 /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman However, the gid check in the wrapper checks the real gid (the gid of the MTA) instead of the effective gid (mailman). One fix is to have the wrapper set its real gid to the effective gid as done by the attached mailman- 2.1.5-setregid.patch.

The script wrapper checks gid to confirm that it is invoked by a proper user. Or, anyone on the system can maliciously invoke the script to forge a post or something like that. Remember that if you are to check the egid, you do not have to check anything at all because the wrapper is already set sgid flag. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=1184595&group_…

Mailman archiving was limited to mbox only and was not affected by file permissions issue. After upgrading to 2.1.6b this problem manifested, but unfortunately not immediately, but after one week of normal operation, and silently (I was warned by a list moderator that approved mail is not sent out). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1182604&group_…

It is sufficient to simply see who the message is from and then "Accept" it. We have to approve each one separately and we have to change the "Defer" tick each time. It's becoming a pain and it would be nice not to make those extra mouse movements. Is it possible to have the Accept selection ticked by default instead of Defer for Mailman's Moderator Administration page? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jim Tittsler (jtittsler) Date: 2005-04-10 21:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1488 This would be *very* dangerous, since it could encourage a careless approval of a message to the lists. For your specific use case, it would be far better to add the user to the whitelist of each of the lists. If you really want to live dangerously, you can use the Javascript formula mentioned in the Mailman FAQ to set all of the options to "Accept" (1), instead of "Discard" (3) as in the example. <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py? req=show&file=faq03.026.htp> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=1178486&group_…

If a digest gets a message containing an attachment using an RFC 2231 encoded parameter has a character set that is unknown to Python (in this case, "X- UNKNOWN"), then routine get_filename() in email/Message.py (not to be confused with Mailman/Message.py) calls unicode() without any error trap. The result is that digest delivery for that entire mailing list is suspended until that message is manually removed. It appears that passing an "ignore" as the errors parameter to unicode() won't stop Python from generating this error. I'm not sure as to the best way to fix this. I haven't worked much with Python at all, and Mailman support was just dumped on my lap. I can see that there are lots of unicode() calls throughout the Mailman source that don't have any error protection. I don't know which ones are also vulnerable to this attack.

However, the fault occurs in unmodified Mailman code, and he insists that nothing he did would affect this. I call it a security issue because anyone can send a message to a mailman mailing list that will cause digests to fail and be stuck, just by using a bogus character set name in an attachment filename. Not only isn't the message in question sent, but all subsequent messages are also held because of the trap. A denial of service problem *is* a security problem. I don't know how extensive the problem is in Mailman, but I see numerous unicode() calls in the Mailman source that have no protection from error traps. So maybe more than just digests are affected. If you can't reproduce the problem, I'll be happy to provide some of the messages which hung our digests. The problem definitely happens with charset names in encoded- parameters in MIME (attachment filenames). Thank you in advance for your rapid attention. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tokio Kikuchi (tkikuchi) Date: 2005-04-09 13:57 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=67709 What is your mailman version?

[ mailman-Bugs-1178199 ] 2.1.6B4: encode_ascii_prefixes error

Bugs item #1178199, was opened at 2005-04-07 02:37 Message generated for change (Tracker Item Submitted) made by Item Submitter You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1178199&group_… Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jan Kellermann (werk21) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: 2.1.6B4: encode_ascii_prefixes error Initial Comment: Hi! Mailman seems not to encode the subject prefix correctly. Options: Language: german (iso-8859-1) encode_ascii_prefixes: Always Prefix: ÄÖÜ my mailsubject: äöü result: =?utf-8?b?W8OEw7bDnF0=?= =?iso-8859-1?q? =E4=F6=FC?= my Mailsubject: test result: =?utf-8?b?W8OEw7bDnF0=?= test Mailman seems to convert always in utf regardless of which language is chosen. The result is a subject-line with two different encodings if you have special chars in prefix and the subject-line. A lot of mailcleints do not support this so that in the display (not in the mailheader) the subject after the prefix is lost. And the space between prefix and subject will be lost because it is not encoded. This problem we did not have before using mailman version 2.2a. The MTA is postfix. I dont know if postfix is doing this encoding to utf or mailman. In this case mailman fails to convert the prefix. If I choose encode_ascii_prefixes: Needed I get the same result. If I choose encode_ascii_prefixes: Never I get the same result. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1178199&group_…

[ mailman-Bugs-1175507 ] Wrong encoding in localized monthly reminders

April 2, 2005

Bugs item #1175507, was opened at 2005-04-02 23:25 Message generated for change (Tracker Item Submitted) made by Item Submitter You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1175507&group_… Category: command line scripts Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Laurynas Biveinis (lauras) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Wrong encoding in localized monthly reminders Initial Comment: The character encoding in translated monthly reminder headers is different from the actual body text encoding, resulting in garbled diacritics. For example, Lithuanian reminder is present in the server in ISO 8859-13, sent out converted to UTF-8, yet the headers still say Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-13" A cursory look at mailpasswds script suggests that it simply forgets to update encoding in headers after translating text to UTF-8.
