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.

Kuchling (akuchling) Date: 2002-12-23 15:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=11375 Updated patch: * Dates are now rendered as ISO-8601 (date only, not the time of the message) * By hard-wiring 2002-December, I got the RSS to validate using Mark Pilgrim's validator. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: captain larry (captainlarry) Date: 2002-12-23 14:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=147905 Just voting for support here.

Category: mail delivery Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jonathan Kamens (jikamens) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Footer sometimes appended to last line of message Initial Comment: If someone submits a multipart/alternative message, and the text part doesn't have a trailing newline, then the footer is started at the end of the last line in the text part, rather than starting on a new line. I think the code that appends the footer should be fixed so that if the text message doesn't end with a newline, one is added before the footer is appended.

However, every now and then the reason is that a subscriber tried to send too big an attachment, or because a mail triggered my html regexp in the privacy filters. Therefore I would like to propose an option to only send "Message held for approval" messages to subscribers, but not to anyone else. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1497366&group_…

[ mailman-Bugs-1484722 ] Topic regexes are never applied

Category: mail delivery Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Closed >Resolution: Accepted Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jesse Keating (jkeating-redhat) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Topic regexes are never applied Initial Comment: Topic filters are checked via a provided regex. The code that applies regexes to a message, and tags a message with a topic and adds a header is called Tagger.process. This function is only called by a test/ script, to test the code path. In the production code Tagger.process is never called, so a mail is never checked/tagged with a topic, and thus when later checked for who it should be delivered to based on topic, it has no topic so it doesn't get delivered correctly. This is 2.1.8. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2006-05-29 18:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Original problem was due to submitter not recognizing that topic regexps are compiled in VERBOSE mode requiring escaping of significant white space. This 'gotcha' is planned to be addressed in the next release. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: SourceForge Robot (sf-robot) Date: 2006-05-25 19:20 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1312539 This Tracker item was closed automatically by the system. It was previously set to a Pending status, and the original submitter did not respond within 14 days (the time period specified by the administrator of this Tracker). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2006-05-10 20:02 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Yes, Tagger is in GLOBAL_PIPELINE, so unless you have redefined GLOBAL_PIPELINE in mm_cfg.py to not include Tagger or the list has a pipeline attribute defined (default lists don't) that doesn't include Tagger, Mailman.Handlers.Tagger.process() is called by IncomingRunner in processing the message through the pipeline. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jesse Keating (jkeating-redhat) Date: 2006-05-09 07:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1519854 Upon closer looking, it would seem that this could be called through a pipeline. I'm looking in our config to see if we haven't defined this as a pipeline. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1484722&group_…

Some senders put something like "please CC: me" in there, but in most cases they don't and other list members don't know immediately about the subscription status. A configurable info text should be introduced, stating something like "Warning - this message comes from a non-subscribed sender, please reply with CC: activated". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=1496741&group_…

[ mailman-Patches-1483446 ] Daily mbox files for list mbox archives

Category: list administration Group: Mailman 2.1 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Daily mbox files for list mbox archives Initial Comment: The daily mbox patch changes the way Mailman does its archive-to-mbox archiving, if that is enabled. The standard Mailman system single .mbox file per list used for mbox archiving can, over time, become very unwieldy, presenting problems for disk space management. The mailman daily mbox patch modifies Mailman's behaviour so that a sparse series of daily mbox files is used for archiving rather than a single mbox file. Each archived message is normally appended to a daily mbox file for the UTC date when the message is first archived. For more information, download the patch and check out the file README.dailymbox or visit the URL http://www.openinfo.co.uk/mm/ patches/dailymbox/ Apply the patch from within the Mailman build directory using the command: patch -p1 < path-to-patch-file ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jim Popovitch (jimpop) Date: 2006-05-28 17:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=3142 Working very well on a production system. Nice addition to Mailman, makes file management and backups MUCH easier. Thanks!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=1483446&group_…
