Category: mail delivery Group: 2.1 (stable) >Status: Open >Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Harri Porten (hporten) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Missing Date header in "requires approval" attachment Initial Comment: The message attachment part of the "xxx post from xxx(a)xxx.xx requires approval" mails sent to the list admin are lacking a Date header. The part currently starts with Content-Type: message/rfc822 MIME-Version: 1.0 while RFC822 mandates a Dates header to exist. This is with version 2.1.5 compiled with sources on a Debian 3.1 system. I've seen that the lack of the header has been fixed for other types of mails but not the attachment of this admin mail. Harri. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Harri Porten (hporten) Date: 2006-04-17 21:06 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=873548 Sorry. I just realized that I quoted the wrong set of headers in my report. My MTA is apparantly complaining about the lack of the Date header in the *last* part as generated by Mailman: --===============0382486014== Content-Type: message/rfc822 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: confirm eb636a7c7c9eff5aa0db306a3a2666d5baf486b0 Sender: test-request(a)example.com From: test-request(a)example.com If you reply to this message, keeping the Subject: header intact, Mailman will discard the held message. Do this if the message is spam. If you reply to this message and include an Approved: header with the list password in it, the message will be approved for posting to the list. The Approved: header can also appear in the first line of the body of the reply. --===============0382486014==-- Or does your answer apply to this part as well? I see that RFC 1521 does indeed relax the 822 restrictions. Not sure about the Date requirement, though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2006-04-16 17:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 RFC822 and RFC2822 only address the top level message headers. The standard for the headers of sub-parts in multipart messages is RFC1521. A Date header is not required in the headers of a sub-part. If your issue is that the attached message/rfc822 part itself contains no date header, this is an exact copy of the message received by Mailman. It was up to whatever sent the original message to include a Date: header. If mailman receives a non-compliant message and holds it for approval, it is not up to Mailman to try to correct defects in the received message. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1471318&group_…

It appears that this list has one or more members with (invalid?) non-ascii characters in their email address. I think any version from 2.1.3 on would throw this exception, and no recent version would allow the address to be added. You might try something like bin/list_members listname | egrep '[^[:alnum:]@.-]' to find the offending address. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1471487&group_…
