Category: configuring/installing Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Justin Harper (gtg944q) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Changing content filtering settings produces no changes Initial Comment: Hi, I am running a highly moderated closed list, and I need my users to be able to send HTML mail and attachments back and forth. I've tried changing the settings under the 'Content filtering' section, but changing them seems to have no effect whatsoever. Here are my current settings: filter_content = no filter_mime_types = [empty] pass_mime_types = [empty] filter_filename_extensions = [empty] pass_filename_extensions = [empty] collapse_alternatives = yes convert_html_to_plaintext = no filter_action = preserve I've tried all sorts of different combinations based on different 'solutions' that I found on the web, but none have worked. The attachment in my test message that keeps being removed is a V-card file (.vcf); I've tried adding 'vcf' to pass_filename_extensions, but still, the attachment is stripped. Please help!!! Let me know what config files you need to see and I'll get back to you within hours.

[ mailman-Patches-839386 ] MySQL MemberAdaptor for Mailman 2.1

Patches item #839386, was opened at 2003-11-10 18:04 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by kyrian You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=839386&group_i… 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: configure/install Group: Mailman 2.1 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Kev Green (kyrian) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: MySQL MemberAdaptor for Mailman 2.1 Initial Comment: A MemberAdaptor "plugin" which should allow Mailman list members to be loaded from a MySQL database, rather than just a Mailman "pickle" file. Provided as-is, and without warranty, this "plugin" may destroy your server, soul, scalp, house, and life. Please use it with caution. Kev Green, oRe Net. http://www.orenet.co.uk/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Kev Green (kyrian) Date: 2006-09-06 10:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=99923 ..."you should use backticks in all SELECT, UPDATE, and INSERT commands"... Thank you, I hadn't thought of that when writing the original. Your patch will be applied to the next version I release, and you will be credited accordingly. Unfortunately I've just started using Eclipse & CVS for this and other projects, which has nuked all the RCS tags I had before. I'll have to fix that before the next release can be issued. As regards the getDeliveryStatus() issue. If I haven't fixed it yet, I will try to do so as soon as reasonably possible. There are a couple of other additions and changes I'd also like to do as suggested by other people. We shall see... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Gergely EGERVARY (egervary) Date: 2006-05-04 09:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1255996 Thank you again for this SQL adaptor. Non-alphanumeric characters (such as "-", the dash character, what is valid, and quite common in email and maillist addresses) in list names generates SQL syntax errors, you should use backticks in all SELECT, UPDATE, and INSERT commands, like "SELECT name FROM `%s` WHERE ..." my patch is available here: http://www.expertlan.hu/egervary/forum/MysqlMemberships.py.diff Another issue is with getDeliveryStatus, which does not work for me. row[0] does not return the value stored in the sql table, so the function always returns MemberAdaptor.ENABLED. (the sql table contains '3' properly, so there's no problem with setDeliveryStatus) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Gustavo Peters (gustavo_peters) Date: 2005-10-19 02:08 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1272569 asa<cdzxcx ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: adrianwi (adrianwi) Date: 2005-09-14 20:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1175103 Thank you for developing this adaptor! So far it's working well with the limited testing I've done. There seems to be a minor bug in the addNewMember method of this adaptor (version 1.61). At lines 579-584, there are SQL statements which add a new row in the MySQL database for a new member. In those statements, the column 'delivery_status' is given the value of MemberAdaptor.UNKNOWN. MemberAdaptor.py defines: # Delivery statuses ENABLED = 0 # enabled UNKNOWN = 1 # legacy disabled BYUSER = 2 # disabled by user choice BYADMIN = 3 # disabled by admin choice BYBOUNCE = 4 # disabled by bounces So, it appears that the SQL statements should be changed to use the value of MemberAdaptor.ENABLED instead of MemberAdaptor.UNKNOWN (which is "legacy disabled"). Making this change prevents "nomail [reason]" ? from being set in the user's options for new members (as seen in the web interface). This was tested with Mailman 2.1.6. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kev Green (kyrian) Date: 2005-07-27 13:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=99923 Folks, For my own sanity I have decided to create a dedicated area of my business website for various opensource projects, and put this project among others under there, so please refer to this location for updates to this patch in future: http://www.orenet.co.uk/opensource/ I will still be reading bug reports via sourceforge, but if nothing else, their user interface is much more fiddly and time consuming to publish files than a quick tar -czvf and an scp, so I'll be using my own environment to host the files at least for the time being. The latest version at this time is 1.61, I belive it still requires substantial testing which I'll get around to one of these days. K. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kev Green (kyrian) Date: 2005-05-31 19:57 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=99923 Folks, Well, I've finally gotten around to releasing an update to this thing, after a phone conversation with the client who are using it, and I've incorporated a couple of cosmetic fixes, fairly substantial changes to make the bounce processing work properly (the ability to set people to NOMAIL now exists, and real world testing is commencing soon), and incorporated the flat vs. wide table archivecture types with various bugfixes. Main notes: * It would be a good idea to change all your delivery_status fields from VARCHAR(255) to INT(10) or similar, so that they will work properly, and not bomb out on this new version (they should be okay I think, but I'd advise the change). * The missing-'AND' typo has been rectified. Any suggestions and bugs should be sent to my sourceforge account address, which ends up in the right place. K. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Gergely EGERVARY (egervary) Date: 2005-04-09 11:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1255996 Thank you for your good work. FYI: there's a missing "AND" in MysqlMemberships.py in line 494. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: simboforge (simboforge) Date: 2005-03-11 23:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1226150 excellent. can you please give me a list of the files modified from the original distro? grep sees six that grep have msyql in them. thx ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kev Green (kyrian) Date: 2005-03-11 22:56 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=99923 The flat file databases are unused when you put the MySQL adaptor in place, and they are untouched (and indeed not deleted) by it, the MySQL adaptor only queries the MySQL tables for membership information, without trying to force you into using it fulltime by deleting anything, etc. Once you unconfigure the MySQL adaptor, Mailman should revert back to your existing flat file databases. Of course, I could have missed something, etc. so do back up your flat file databases before installing the MySQL adaptor, and then you can just migrate back to them by restoring the backups. Either way, you have come up with a good question for an FAQ on the SQL adaptor :-) K. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: simboforge (simboforge) Date: 2005-03-11 22:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1226150 neat. just what i was looking for. i have a couple of live lists running on version version 2.1.5. i am a bit leary about unzipping this distrobution over the top of my working mailman as i am not sure how to backup the existing flat file databases. i would prefer to experiment with dropping the adapter into my existing installation. any pointers as to where to start? thx ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kev Green (kyrian) Date: 2004-12-13 18:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=99923 Oh, btw. v1.57 hasn't been tested yet, so it might kill your server, eat your dog, and stick your wife in the oven. Be careful using it! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kev Green (kyrian) Date: 2004-12-13 18:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=99923 Version 1.57: 2004/12/13 * Merge in Daniel Shriver patch/code for a flat table architecture. [ Suggested by Kevin McCann <kmccann(at)bellanet.org>, but I hadn't found time to do it myself... ] * Add bugfix information from Jinhyok Heo <novembre(a)NOSPAM.ournature.org> * Add in mksqlmailman script from TheSin <thesin(a)SPAMNOTHANKS.southofheaven.org> * Follow Barry Warsaw's suggestion on delivery status timestamp. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kev Green (kyrian) Date: 2004-01-08 11:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=99923 Latest version incorporates automated generation of the necessary tables, cleaner error reporting, and updated documentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kev Green (kyrian) Date: 2003-11-11 11:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=99923 Bit of an oops in version 1.49, 1.50 now uploaded, which should fix it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=839386&group_i…

[ mailman-Feature Requests-966157 ] login page should have username/password

Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jack Jansen (jackjansen) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: login page should have username/password Initial Comment: The login page for mailman administration should have username/ password in stead of just password. The main reason for me asking this is that it will allow Safari (and probably other browsers as well) to remember all the passwords to all the mailman lists I manage. In addition, if the username was actually used (from the previous paragraph you'll understand I'm happy enough if it is ignored:-) you could have per-admin passwords. And that would of course open the door for keeping logs of which admin did what, which'll lead to finding scapegoats when things go wrong, etc etc etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Dyer-Bennet (dd-b) Date: 2006-09-05 16:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=108413 Firefox bug 235336 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=235336 appears to address this issue, and says it is fixed, and appears to say it will be in Firefox release 1.8.1. Sorry, not sure how this relates to the Safari release structure. The underlying problem in Firefox is not that it doesn't recognize and save the password initially, but rather that it doesn't offer it *back* when you revisit the page later. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Dyer-Bennet (dd-b) Date: 2006-09-05 13:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=108413 This problem also occurs with Firefox. The name of the form field for administrator login (on the "<listname> Administrator Authentication" page) is "adminpw" rather than "password". I'm not sure that Firefox will pick up the password without an accompanying username either. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=966157&group_i…
