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.

Initial Comment: I haven't seen any settings for this, and I can only describe it based on the information that I have. But today I received bounce notices identically timestamped for three separate email addresses in the same domain. The notices all indicated the addresses had been unsubscribed from a specific Mailman list. I don't know what initiated the action, and these same addresses are still subscribed to other, less- frequently used lists. I sent emails directly to the three addresses to notify them of the issue, and I got back a response from their email server as follows (actual email addresses omitted or replaced for privacy reasons): - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Return-Path: <> X-Envelope-To: <my_email_address> X-Spam-Status: No, hits=2.4 required=5.0 tests=AWL: -0.181,HTML_30_40: 0.879,HTML_MESSAGE: 0.001, MIME_HTML_MOSTLY: 1.54,VIRUS_WARNING268B: 0.2 X-Spam-Level: ** Return-Path: <> Delivered-To: <my_email_address> Received: (qmail 29847 invoked by uid 399); 23 Feb 2006 17:21:13 -0000 X-Virus-Scan: Scanned by clamdmail 0.15 (no viruses); Thu, 23 Feb 2006 11:21:13 -0600 Received: from unknown (HELO eastrmmtao06.cox.net) (68.230.240.33) by mail.opentransfer.com with SMTP; 23 Feb 2006 17:21:13 -0000 To: <my_email_address> From: Mail Administrator <Postmaster(a)cox.net> Reply-To: <Postmaster(a)cox.net> Subject: Mail System Error - Returned Mail Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2006 12:21:06 -0500 Message-ID: <omitted> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/report; report-type=delivery-status; Boundary="===========================_ _= 9638061(9108)1140715266" --===========================_ _= 9638061(9108) 1140715266 Content-Type: text/plain This Message was undeliverable due to the following reason: Each of the following recipients was rejected by a remote mail server.

The users were unsubscribed by bounce processing. The settings for this are list by list on the Bounce processing page of the admin web interface. Mailman registers the bounce notices that it receives in response to post deliveries and handles them according to bounce settings. The remote server has no direct involvement with the unsubscribe. It just returns a notice to mailman just like the notice returned to you when you mailed these addresses directly. The process is described on the Bounce processing page. And yes, bounce notifications can be spoofed, but with normal default settings, the spoofer would have to send 5 spoofed notices on different days, and then the member would have list delivery disabled and be sent a warning, and be sent two more warnings at one week intervals before being unsubscribed. Also, you can select the option to notify the list owner when the subscription is disabled, so unsubscribing a user by spoofing bounces is not likely to be successful if the user actually has any interest in the list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bruce Scherzinger (bascherz) Date: 2006-02-23 10:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1415850 I failed to mention that the webhosting company has Mailman v2.1.6 installed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1437581&group_…

All these times are given in GMT (the standard timezone for the UK) but are claimed to be BST (British Summer Time, the daylight saving time used between March and October, equivalent to GMT+1). For example, the last message to one of my lists was sent at Fri, 10 Feb 2006 10:07:40 +0000, but according to the archives by thread page, the ending and last message dates are "Fri Feb 10 10:07:40 BST 2006". The timezone is correct in the archive page for the message though, where it is given as "Fri Feb 10 10:07:40 GMT 2006" The times given during the summer are correct, where everything is in BST.

Here are the error log details: admin(4095): [----- Mailman Version: 2.1.7 -----] admin(4095): [----- Traceback ------] admin(4095): Traceback (most recent call last): admin(4095): File "/var/mailman/scripts/driver", line 101, in run_main admin(4095): main() admin(4095): File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/subscribe.py", line 96, in main admin(4095): process_form(mlist, doc, cgidata, language) admin(4095): File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/subscribe.py", line 176, in process_form admin(4095): mlist.AddMember(userdesc, remote) admin(4095): File "/var/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 899, in AddMember admin(4095): msg['Subject'] = self.GetConfirmJoinSubject(realname, cookie) admin(4095): File "/var/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 216, in GetConfirmJoinSubject admin(4095): cset, header_name='subject') admin(4095): File "/var/tmp/mailman-root/var/mailman/pythonlib/email/Header.py", line 188, in __init__ admin(4095): File "/var/tmp/mailman-root/var/mailman/pythonlib/email/Header.py", line 272, in append admin(4095): UnicodeError: ASCII decoding error: ordinal not in range(128) admin(4095): [----- Python Information -----] admin(4095): sys.version = 2.2.2 (#1, Feb 24 2003, 19:13:11) [GCC 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-4)] admin(4095): sys.executable = /usr/bin/python admin(4095): sys.prefix = /usr admin(4095): sys.exec_prefix = /usr admin(4095): sys.path = /usr admin(4095): sys.platform = linux2 admin(4095): [----- Environment Variables -----] admin(4095): PATH_INFO: /test admin(4095): CONTENT_LENGTH: 140 admin(4095): SERVER_PORT: 443 admin(4095): HTTP_COOKIE: site=2802000000691dc6fa43732800000063323164313562353536396239393738616631303133646639393034626532623334636264363564 admin(4095): SCRIPT_FILENAME: /var/mailman/cgi-bin/subscribe admin(4095): PYTHONPATH: /var/mailman admin(4095): SERVER_SOFTWARE: Apache/2.0.51 (Fedora) admin(4095): SERVER_ADMIN: Rechnergruppe(a)Physik.Uni-Muenchen.DE admin(4095): SCRIPT_NAME: /mailman/subscribe admin(4095): SCRIPT_URI: https://lists.physik.uni-muenchen.de/mailman/subscribe/test admin(4095): SERVER_SIGNATURE: <address>Apache/2.0.51 (Fedora) Server at lists.physik.uni-muenchen.de Port 443</address> admin(4095): admin(4095): REQUEST_METHOD: POST admin(4095): HTTP_HOST: lists.physik.uni-muenchen.de admin(4095): SCRIPT_URL: /mailman/subscribe/test admin(4095): HTTPS: on admin(4095): SERVER_PROTOCOL: HTTP/1.1 admin(4095): QUERY_STRING: admin(4095): PATH_TRANSLATED: /var/www/sites1/lists.physik.uni-muenchen.de/test admin(4095): REQUEST_URI: /mailman/subscribe/test admin(4095): HTTP_ACCEPT: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 admin(4095): HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 admin(4095): HTTP_USER_AGENT: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050927 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc3.mll.1 Firefox/1.0.7 admin(4095): HTTP_CONNECTION: keep-alive admin(4095): HTTP_REFERER: https://lists.physik.uni-muenchen.de/mailman/listinfo/test admin(4095): SERVER_NAME: lists.physik.uni-muenchen.de admin(4095): REMOTE_ADDR: 141.84.29.17 admin(4095): REMOTE_PORT: 44945 admin(4095): HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE: de-de,de;q=0.8,en-us;q=0.5,en;q=0.3 admin(4095): UNIQUE_ID: s6td58A2KoEAAHdvB6gAAAAB admin(4095): CONTENT_TYPE: application/x-www-form-urlencoded admin(4095): GATEWAY_INTERFACE: CGI/1.1 admin(4095): DOCUMENT_ROOT: /var/www/sites1/lists.physik.uni-muenchen.de/ admin(4095): HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING: gzip,deflate admin(4095): SERVER_ADDR: 192.54.42.132 admin(4095): HTTP_KEEP_ALIVE: 300 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2006-02-22 08:29 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Patch commited in CVS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Klaus Steinberger (kst) Date: 2006-02-21 13:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=52018 Thanks!

You can avoid it by changing the character set for 'en' in the language table from 'us-ascii' to 'iso-8859-1'. You would do this by putting: add_language('en', 'English (USA)', 'iso-8859-1') in mm_cfg.py. Or, you can actually fix it with the attached patch to Mailman/MailList.py. If possible, try the patch and let us know how it works for you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1435722&group_…

[ mailman-Bugs-1433673 ] Wrong timezone in list archive index pages

Bugs item #1433673, was opened at 2006-02-17 16:08 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by rogerlynn You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1433673&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: Pipermail Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Closed Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Schoinobates Volans (schoinobates) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Wrong timezone in list archive index pages Initial Comment: This is Debian bug #352876 (see http://bugs.debian.org/352876) The timezone used on the list archive index pages for the starting, ending, last message and archived on dates is wrong. All these times are given in GMT (the standard timezone for the UK) but are claimed to be BST (British Summer Time, the daylight saving time used between March and October, equivalent to GMT+1). For example, the last message to one of my lists was sent at Fri, 10 Feb 2006 10:07:40 +0000, but according to the archives by thread page, the ending and last message dates are "Fri Feb 10 10:07:40 BST 2006". The timezone is correct in the archive page for the message though, where it is given as "Fri Feb 10 10:07:40 GMT 2006" The times given during the summer are correct, where everything is in BST. Original submitter claims timezone data and clock is correct on the machine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Roger Lynn (rogerlynn) Date: 2006-02-22 15:58 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=781651 Isn't the real problem that the time zone has been stripped from the string in the first place? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2006-02-19 21:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Patch has been committed to CVS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2006-02-18 03:35 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 The underlying problem is a bug in i18n.ctime(). When i18n.ctime is passed a time string, it uses time.strptime() to convert the string into a struct_time. If the string doesn't contain a time zone, strptime() returns tm_isdst = -1 which the following code treats as 1 rather than unknown. The attached patch (2.1.7 base) will use the phrase "Server Local Time" translated into the list language instead of BST or whatever. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1433673&group_…
