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. There are two patch versions; one for MM 2.0.13 and the other for MM 2.1b5 in the MM build directory say: patch -p1 < patch-filename ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2005-08-23 17:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 exitstatus-2.1.6-0.1.patch.gz is a MM 2.1.6 compatible version of the patch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2004-08-03 09:56 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 exitstatus-2.1.5-0.1.patch.gz is a MM 2.1.5 compatible version of the patch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2004-01-02 15:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 exitstatus-2.1.3-0.1.patch can be used with MM 2.1.4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2003-09-30 20:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 exitstatus-2.1.3-0.1.patch is a MM 2.1.3 compatible version of the patch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2003-04-28 14:40 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 exitstatus-2.1.2-0.1.patch is a revision of the patch for MM 2.1.2 compatibility ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2003-02-10 11:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 exitstatus-2.1-0.1.patch is alos applicable to MM release 2.1.1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2003-01-02 16:30 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 exitstatus-2.1-0.1.patch is a revision of the patch for MM 2.1 compatibility ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Barry A.

[ mailman-Patches-444884 ] Integration of Mailman and htdig for archiving

Category: Unofficial 2.0 patch Group: Mailman 2.2 / 3.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 3 Submitted By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Assigned to: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) >Summary: Integration of Mailman and htdig for archiving Initial Comment: This patch is applicable to Mailman 2.0.6 release that has had search enhancement patch 444879 patch installed - if your Defaults.py has the ARCHIVE_INDEXING_ENABLE and ARCHIVE_INDEXING_DISABLE in it then you've got that patch. It replaces earlier patches 401670 and 402423 and is mainly to correct some problems arising from fixes introduced into Mailman by bug fix releases since the 402423 patch. This patch integrates htdig with Mailman and provides: 1. per list search facility with a search form on the list's TOC page. 2. maintenance of privacy of private archives which requires the user to establish their credentials via the normal private archive access before any access via htdig is allowed. 3. a common base URL for both public and private archive access via htsearch results so that htdig indices are unaffected by changingan archive from private to public and vice versa. All access to archives via htdig is controlled by a new wrapped cgi- bin script called htdig.py. 4. a new cron activated script and extra crontab entry which runs htdig regularly to maintain the per list search indices. 5. automatic creation, deletion and maintenance of htdig configuration files and such. Beyond installing htdig and telling Mailman where it is via mm_cfg you do not have to do any other setup. Well not quite you do have to set up a single per installation symlink to allow htdig to find the automatically generated per list htdig configuration files. You probably want to run this patch as follows: cd <mailman 2.0.6 untarred and unzipped directory> patch -p1 < <this patch file> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2005-08-23 17:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 htdig-2.1.6-0.1.patch.gz is a MM 2.1.6 compatible version of the patch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2004-08-03 09:45 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 htdig-2.1.5-0.1.patch.gz is a MM 2.1.5 compatible version of the patch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2004-01-03 09:16 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 htdig-2.1.4-0.1.patch is a MM 2.1.4 compatible version of the patch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2003-12-15 16:13 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 htdig-2.1.3-0.5.patch modifies htdig.py and private.py; the security changes introduced by htdig-2.1.3-0.2 patch to these scripts incorrectly blocked access to the listname.mbox/listname.mbox file.

Even if this patch isn't installed it seems a list's pipermail.pck file can also be read directly through the web interface for list archives. This seems to be true for accesses via /pipermail for public lists and via /mailman/private for private lists. The problem does not occur for htdig search results accessed via /mailman/htdig as the htdig.py script is more protective than private.py Broadly speaking the data affected is availble to a user in normal operation which is why I do not consider the issue to be a security breach as such. Adding the following RewriteRule to Apache's httpd.conf prevents the situation, assuming you got the RewriteEngine On: RewriteRule ^(/pipermail/.*)/(pipermail.pck|htdig/[^/]*)$ $1/index.html [F] RewriteRule ^(/mailman/private/.*)/(pipermail.pck|htdig/[^/]*)$ $1/index.htm l [F] You could, of course, substitute an R flag for the F flag on the RewriteRules and be more hacker friendly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2003-01-22 14:20 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 htdig-2.1-0.3.patch corrects yet another bug in htdig.py.

[ mailman-Patches-444879 ] Archive indexer control to improve index

Category: Pipermail Group: Mailman 2.2 / 3.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 3 Submitted By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Assigned to: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Summary: Archive indexer control to improve index Initial Comment: This patch is applicable to Mailman 2.0.6 release and supercedes ealier patches 401669 and 402422. This patch should improve the quality of search results returned by search engines such as htdig (http://www.htdig.org) where the seach engine's index builder responds to strings embedded in the html pages that are the subject of the indexing. The changes in this patch: 1. allow strings for enabling and disabling indexing to be defined in mm_cfg.py. 2. embeds those strings in the pages generated as the html version of a list's archive. By default nothing in the html changes. To get the desired effect, you must define ARCHIVE_INDEXING_ENABLE and ARCHIVE_INDEXING_DISABLE in mm_cfg.py You probably want to run this patch as follows: cd <mailman 2.0.6 untarred and unzipped directory> patch -p1 < <this patch file> See also the associated patch for integrating the htdig search software with mailman's internal archiver ouput. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2005-08-23 17:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 indexing-2.1.6-0.1.patch.gz is a MM 2.1.6 compatible version of the patch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2004-08-03 09:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 indexing-2.1.5-0.1.patch.gz is a MM 2.1.5 compatible version of the patch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2004-01-03 09:20 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 indexing-2.1.4-0.1.patch is a MM 2.1.4 compatible version of the patch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2003-09-30 20:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 indexing-2.1.3-0.1.patch is a MM 2.1.3 compatible version of the patch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2003-04-28 14:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 indexing-2.1.2-0.1.patch.gz no longer needs patch #661138 to be applied as that patch was incorporated in the MM 2.1.2 release ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2003-04-28 14:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 indexing-2.1.2-0.1.patch.gz is revised for MM 2.1.2 compatibility.

Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2002-08-08 14:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 Another question: is there no standard (de-facto or otherwise) for generic markup that tells indexers not to index a particular section? IOW, for ARCHIVE_INDEXING_ENABLE and ARCHIVE_INDEXING_DISABLE, is there some generic value that would instruct most (all?) indexers to ignore that section? Or does it necessarily have to be indexer specific? I'm thinking of the situation where you might have ht://Dig installed locally, but your archives are still being spidered by external indexers. It would be good if something more generic could be added to Defaults.py.in ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Barry A.

Currently if a message is removed or added and the archive rebuilt, search engines must reindex the entire archive to get the updated URL for each message based on the new sequence numbers. For large archives this is non-trivial. +1 for a unique and permanent URL per message, +0 for having the message URL included in the message/headers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jim C.

Barnes (nman64) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Default list signature blocks do not follow good netiquette Initial Comment: I recently noticed on a mailing list to which I am a member that the signature blocks did not comply with good netiquette guidelines. After discussing this with one of the list maintainers, and getting those lists corrected, he informed me that the faulty blocks were the default under mailman. If this is not the case, I apologize. Basically, a signature block should begin with two hyphens and a space, followed by a newline. Currently, the default blocks begin with the two hyphens and a newline, without the space. For more information, please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signature_block For the curious, the lists that we dealt with were the Fedora Project mailing lists. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1266729&group_…

Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Daniel (doolyo) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Option to determine what member is allowed to post Initial Comment: Using Sympa mailing list program, you can determine who is allowed to post to the mailing list, by still keeping the e-mail on hold. This is very handy when we have to create a list of members that can only receive e- mails and are forbidden to post. It also adds some security, and avoids to have to check all member's requests to post which are pending. If a member is disallowed then he just receives the forbidden message already in use. It is a clean way to proceed. Thus I recommend adding a field that would contain a list of members allowed to post. Else we could add a column in the member list wich a checkbox that determines who is allowed to post. This would be the best. We would choose a tag name for the default setting and the administrator of the list would be able to choose who can post on this list. I just add that we can do that already, but what I want is to allow only one member to post, and the mail being put on hold, and NOT sent directly. The moderator would still have to accept his post manually. The others are just notfied that they are not allowed to post or discarded. Thank you.
