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.

[ mailman-Patches-1542456 ] Mail address obscurification via <img > tags

Category: Pipermail Group: Mailman 2.1 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Raimo Niskanen (raimo_niskanen) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Mail address obscurification via <img > tags Initial Comment: While replacing majordomo + mhonarc with mailman we had (at www.erlang.org) an own email address obscurification that created .png file for all email addresses and inserted <img > tags in the mhonarc HTML archives. I have now reimplemented that for pipermail in mailman using the Python Imaging Library (http:/www.pytonware.com/products/pil). The patch is for mailman 2.1.6 in OpenBSD 3.8. I have introduced mm_cfg.ARCHIVER_OBSCURES_EMAILADDRS_FONT that if not False is a path to a .pil font activating email address obscurification by <img > tags. The email addresses are stored in /var/spool/mailman/archives/private/%(listname)s/emailaddrs/ as files named %06s.png. Handling of this directory should probably be moved to Archiver/HyperDatabase.py, but I wanted to concentrate my changes to one file. pipermail.pck contains a dictionary to map email address to image index number. If this makes the file to large, the dictionary should perhaps be moved to a file in the database/ directory but OTOH that directory contains only files per archive period. The patch needs improvement regarding i18n. Perhaps it is enough to be able to select obscurification font per list, or maybe font variant should be automatically selected depending on encoding. I have virtually no previous experience of i18n issues. The patch also removes the domain name for all email addresses in the downloadable text archive, like mhonarc does in <SPAMMODE>. All this because i am convinced the <user at dom.ain> rewriting is too easy to harvest. This patch works for me, and I am sure others would benefit from it or something equivalent. / Raimo Niskanen, Ericsson AB, Erlang/OTP ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=1542456&group_…

This is annoying when you have heaps of addresses (including a few bad ones) that were added from the admindb interface with the "Add foo(a)bar.com to one of these sender filters:" option (which doesn't seem to check if the email is valid). The attached patch applies to mailman 2.1.7, and makes mailman only report the bad addresses instead of all of the addresses." Will you consider applying this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=1537368&group_…
