Category: Web/CGI Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Utils.get_domain() wrong if VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW off Initial Comment: Part of the code in get_domain() in Utils.py is: if mm_cfg.VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW and host: return host.lower() else: # See the note in Defaults.py concerning DEFAULT_HOST_NAME # vs. DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST. hostname = mm_cfg.DEFAULT_HOST_NAME or mm_cfg.DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST return hostname.lower() It is clear that get_domain() should return the web host, not the e-mail host. This code should be: if mm_cfg.VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW and host: return host.lower() else: # See the note in Defaults.py concerning DEFAULT_URL # vs. DEFAULT_URL_HOST. hostname = mm_cfg.DEFAULT_URL or mm_cfg.DEFAULT_URL_HOST return hostname.lower() ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1275856&group_…

[ mailman-Bugs-1269067 ] e-mail command confirmations should be optional

by SourceForge.net

Bugs item #1269067, was opened at 2005-08-24 20:09 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=1269067&group_… Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: mail delivery Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Daniel (doolyo) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: e-mail command confirmations should be optional Initial Comment: When we send an e-mail to change the member's options with a command (e.g. to subscribe/unsubscribe members), the confirmation of the commands should be optionnal. This is useful particularly if we do a php script that sends the commands automatically from a post field. Then the member doesn't need to see all those e-mail commands. This should be an optional command that would disable these confirmations for the whole list and all commands. www.Sympa.org mailing list does this very well. Thank you.

Category: (un)subscribing Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Daniel (doolyo) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: unsubscribe removal confirmation should be optional Initial Comment: We should be able to choose if we want the members that unsubscribe by e-mail to receive a 'removal confirmation' e-mail. I need the user to not receive this notice and just remove him without him knowing it. However, we should still be able to sent him the good_bye message when he left if we want it, like it's the case currently. The removal notice is not really necessary if people receive an e-mail telling that they have been removed. They can submit again if they want and report the abuse. This option should just be an added tag that would be valid for the whole list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1269025&group_…

[ mailman-Bugs-1268939 ] host_name tag doesn't allow IP addresses

Category: mail delivery Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Daniel (doolyo) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: host_name tag doesn't allow IP addresses Initial Comment: Hello. I have realised that we cannot put an IP address in the 'host_name' tag. Normally, we can send an e-mail from a client to a server that doesn't have a domain name by just putting it's IP address into square brackets like this: john(a)[142.56.2.72] This works, especially if you have put the same IP address on the destination server in your /etc/mail/local- host-names file on one line (for Sendmail): [142.56.2.72] Now the problem is that if we specify the IP address into square brackets in the 'host_name' tag, then the resolved hostname is returned in the e-mail address instead of this square brackets IP address. I have tried several backslashes like '', [], "", %5B and % 5D but nothing does. Square brackets are still correct to the standard, so I think that this is a bug.

Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: rst (r_st) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: edit moderated messages directly on admindb page Initial Comment: When viewing held messages on the administrative database page, owners/moderators should be able to edit those messages without having to forward the messages to themselves. This will allow for easy editing as well as maintaining the original headers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Fred H Olson (fholson) Date: 2005-08-24 03:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1334022 I agree this would be useful tho I suppose some indicator that a message has been edited should be added. It would be nice to be able to edit subject lines at least. All those "digest reply" subject lines. And deleting all the excessive quoting - particularly on "top replies" Some options for doing the latter automatically would be great.

[ mailman-Feature Requests-1267807 ] Digest header / masthead.txt changes

Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Fred H Olson (fholson) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Digest header / masthead.txt changes Initial Comment: Mailman digests get (potentially) two blocks of text at the top: The contents of a file called masthead.txt currently about 13 lines which I summarize as: Send ... submissions to ... To subscribe or unsubscribe ... You can reach the person managing the list at .... When replying, please edit your Subject line ... In addition list admins can add a digest_header (which defaults to nothing) that follows the masthead. Two other requests suggest allowing the the masthead be moved to the bottom of the list because a significant number of people in my estimation find this repetitive block of text rather verbose and a nuisance. See feature requests: 1220821 Option to move "cruft" ("boilerplate") to bottom of digest 1059834 daily digest new setting: mail body change Note that the masthead.txt does not seem to change for announcement lists for which the "submissions" and "when replying" portions are inappropriate. REQUEST: Allow "masthead" text to be changeable by listowners I would like to see the text supplied currently by masthead be changeable by list owners. It seems like this could be done similar to footers - with default contents (preferably smarter) to the digest_header form which already exists.

Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: JC Dill (jcdill) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: digest filter options Initial Comment: Add an option on the *digest* settings page to automatically discard, bounce to the sender (with an explanatory message), or hold for moderator approval all messages with a subject that matches the list-created subject used on the outgoing digest. That way when you setup your digest options, you can easily select from several common methods of how listmanagers often want their list to handle replies from digest subscribers. Link to this setting from the page that has the other incoming message filtering options, so that when you are looking at your incoming message filtering options you notice/remember that you also have special filters relating to digests. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Fred H Olson (fholson) Date: 2005-08-24 03:08 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1334022 This is a feature that I and others have long desired. On one list I currently have a low size limit (8K) to catch quoted digests which typically accompany "digest replies" ... It helps.

[ mailman-Patches-644797 ] Revised mailer exit status

Category: mail delivery Group: Mailman 2.2 / 3.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Revised mailer exit status Initial Comment: This patch modifies the Python scripts in $prefix/scripts/ that are used by the MTA to deliver incoming mail to Mailman. The exit statuses now returned are drawn from the mail related values defined in /usr/include/sysexits.h This allows the MTA to return more meaningful responses to the sender when rejecting mail. It also allows a more sympathetic treatment of mail in the event that the Python script suffers an unexpected exception when handling incoming email. Such exceptions are now logged to MM's $prefix/logs/erro in all but the most extreme error cases and the internal information about the Python exception is not passed into the response to the sender.
