Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Dragon (dragon93) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Event driven external scripts Initial Comment: It would be very useful to have a mechanism built in to Mailman that would run an external script when various events occur. For instance, when a user subscribes or unsubscribes, changes e-mail address or any other event that might require further processing. Ideally, this would be a simple configuration directive pointing to the script to run on each event. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=1448931&group_…

[ mailman-Bugs-1448537 ] Limit number of subscribe requests in a period

Bugs item #1448537, was opened at 2006-03-12 15:30 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by eric_black You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1448537&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: security/privacy Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: EricB (eric_black) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Limit number of subscribe requests in a period Initial Comment: Add limits (number of requests in a day, and minimum number of days before resetting the counter) to the number of subscribe requests for an email address. Defaults would be 1 request in 1 day. This is needed to prevent malicious mailbombing of an innocent victim by someone repeatedly submitting their address. Currently the victim gets the verify.txt template email for each submission. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: EricB (eric_black) Date: 2006-03-12 19:30 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1474448 Thanks for the suggestion. That helps if a user complains, but does not help in this scenario: A malicious evil-doer discovers a spamtrap email address used by any of the many RBLs, and repeatedly submits that address in a subscribe request, either by forging email (trivial to do) or by repeatedly submitting the HTML form (also trivial to do). The spamtrap receives multiple confirmation requests. The first confirmation request should be ignored, because typos happen. Subsequent confirmation requests may well be considered to be spam. Especially if there are 5 a day, let alone 100 in the space of an hour. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tokio Kikuchi (tkikuchi) Date: 2006-03-12 19:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=67709 You can suppress sending confirmation by putting the victim's email address in ban_list from the admin page (privacy section), if she/he is not willing to be added in your list. This may not work if the malicious user forges the 'From:' header. In this case, the victim may well introduce some mail filter to get junk mails discarded before they reach her/his eyes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: EricB (eric_black) Date: 2006-03-12 15:47 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1474448 BTW, I've been running 2.1.5 with this problem, and 2.1.7 still exhibits the vulnerability. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1448537&group_…

[ mailman-Feature Requests-403066 ] Auto Approval of subscriptions for certain domains

Category: None Group: None Status: Pending Resolution: Accepted Priority: 3 Submitted By: Mark Tearle (mtearle) Assigned to: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Summary: Auto Approval of subscriptions for certain domains Initial Comment: A patch to enable automatic approval for certain domains, eg people in the example.com are automatically approved all others have to wait for the moderator ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jim Popovitch (jimpop) Date: 2006-03-12 22:12 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=3142 I've successfully applied this against a v2.1.8 system and it works well. Thanks!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2006-03-11 13:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 The attached patch is against a 2.1.8a1 installed base (installed because it patches Defaults.py and not Defaults.py.in). It is a modification and extension of the original patch. It implements a new list attribute 'subscribe_auto_approval' which is a list of email addresses and regular expressions matching email addresses whose subscriptions are exempt from admin approval. It implements the original intent if one just uses regexps that match domains. This will go in Mailman 2.2, but it would be nice to get some feedback from people who are interested in this feature and are willing to try the patch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Thomas Wouters (twouters) Date: 2003-03-11 08:31 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=34209 Is this still necessary with Mailman 2.1, which has more 'automatic' options (as well as 'memberadaptors') ? In any case, the patch is likely heavily out of date by now, I'm moving this to Feature Requests for now. Feel free to respond if you (still) have a need. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=403066&group_i…
