[ mailman-Bugs-1495122 ] Mailman strips format=flowed from Content-Type header

This time, the Scrubber.py patch is functionally identical to 217616: flowed.patch.txt, but I have added more comments to the Scrubber patch specifically related to why it won't work for the archive or the plain format digest. The Decorate.py patch has been updated to remove any trailing spaces from lines of msg_header and msg_footer so they won't be inadvertently flowed. I have the feeling that the biggest issue for most occurs in Decorate.py in adding msg_header and/or msg_footer, and this is fixed.

I don't disagee with you, and my 2006-06-13 comment wasn't meant to imply that I wasn't interested in fixing this, just that there might be more to it than is apparent at first glance.

Surely it is more important to maintain the content of the message that to quibble about the format on header/footer. Any halfway intelligent mail client will wrap long URLs, expecting them to be reflowed by the recipient, but since mailman strips out the format and delsp from the Content-type, the recipient is left in the lurch and sees the URL as multiple lines. In format-flowed, only lines that end in <space><linefeed> are re-flowed. If the header/footer lines end in <linefeed> they will not be reflowed, so I don't see the need to have a different format for them? What am I missing? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2006-06-13 09:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 I think you have found the cause. Scrubber also does the same thing when flattening the message, but now we have a difficult decision. If we want to 'fix' Decorate, we now are faced with a situation where we may be adding a 'format=fixed' header and/or footer to a 'format=flowed' message body. This potential incompatability may require us to 'wrap' the message and add the header/footer as separate parts in this case. This will undoubtedly raise additional complaints. In the case of Scrubber, this may lead us to scrub the actual message body part - not a good thing. I may be over-reacting here. It may turn out that it is OK to render the header/footer/scrubber messages as 'format=flowed'. Although I can contrive a footer for example (by putting trailing spaces on intermediate lines) that will be munged by rendering as 'format=flowed', this may not be a problem in practice, and Decorate could always be made to strip the spaces. There are also potentially issues with stripping of leading spaces because of the assumption that they are 'stuffed'. I don't know how big an issue this is in practice. Note, if we do preserve 'format=' we also need to preserve 'delsp='. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bart Jacobs (radiantskies) Date: 2006-06-12 23:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=924185 I've browsed the mailman source code a bit and I found some suspicious code in /trunk/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Decorate.py.

If require explicit destination is Yes, some address in the To: or Cc: headers of the post must be either the list posting address or match an address or re in acceptable aliases. If you put ^[^@]+@(.*\.)?qchron\.(?=com$|net$).*$ in acceptable aliases, it will only have an effect if a matching address (e.g. jdoe(a)server.qchron.net) is in the To: or Cc: of a post to the list. If any address that can deliver to your list is in the qchron.com or qchron.net domain, then yes, this will allow them all to be accepted as well as a whole bunch more IF the address that got to the list was in a To: or Cc: header. But, I suspect the problem in this case was that no list address was in a To: or Cc: of the post. This has nothing to do with who the post is From: or whether or not it is from a list member. If a member or an acceptable non-member sends a post To: msapiro(a)users.sourceforge.net with a Bcc: to your list, your list is going to hold it for implicit destination. The question you have to answer for yourself is do you want to accept without moderator action, posts which aren't explicitly addressed in To: or Cc: to your list or to some other address that gets to your list. If you do, then set require_explicit_destination to No. If you don't, then set require_explicit_destination to Yes and make sure that any 'other' addresses that will deliver to your list are in acceptable_aliases (this should be very few addresses). In the later case posters will be required to explicitly name the list or an acceptable alias in To: or Cc: or the post will be held. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Michael O (qchrontech) Date: 2007-02-23 19:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1631912 Originator: YES ^[^@]+@(.*\.)?qchron\.(?=com$|net$).*$ posted in the acceptable_aliases.

You have several choices, but adding ^[^@]+@(.*\.)?nyc\.gov$ to acceptable aliases isn't one of them. The post was held because it wasn't explicitly addressed To: (or Cc:) the list. I.e. the canonical list posting address, say listname(a)example.com, was not in To: or Cc:. Maybe it was a Bcc: to the list. Maybe the post was addressed to listname(a)mail.example.com. If the former, and you can't convince to poster to explicitly address the list, then you have to turn off require_explicit_destination. If the latter, you can add listname(a)mail.example.com to acceptable aliases. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2007-02-23 18:40 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Originator: NO So the message is held for implicit destination which means two things: 1) It passed your accept_these_nonmembers test. 2) It was held because Privacy Options...->Recipient filters->require_explicit_destination is Yes and the list posting address or another address in the acceptable_aliases list was not found in any To: or Cc: header of the post. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Michael O (qchrontech) Date: 2007-02-23 18:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1631912 Originator: YES ok so i looked this up.

[ mailman-Bugs-1667570 ] RegExp not working in 2.1.5

by SourceForge.net

Bugs item #1667570, was opened at 2007-02-23 19:07 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by qchrontech You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1667570&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: 2.1 (stable) Status: Closed Resolution: Invalid Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Michael O (qchrontech) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: RegExp not working in 2.1.5 Initial Comment: Under "accept_these_nonmembers (privacy): List of non-member addresses whose postings should be automatically accepted." I have the following RegExp's and I still continue to receive notices as the admin to approve the email from addresses listed below. I tested the RegExp to make sure that the e-mail addresses are successfully matched and they are. I believe in 2.1.2 this was working fine with the same RegExp. List of non-member addresses whose postings should be automatically accepted. ^[^@]+@(.*\.)?qchron\.(?=com$|net$).*$ ^[^@]+@(.*\.)?nyc\.gov$ post from emeeks(a)comptroller.nyc.gov requires approval post from ahutchi(a)comptroller.nyc.gov requires approval post from jsimmon(a)comptroller.nyc.gov requires approval I saw no previous bug reports on this and am unsure if this is fixed in 2.1.9 so I submitted it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Michael O (qchrontech) Date: 2007-02-23 22:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1631912 Originator: YES ^[^@]+@(.*\.)?qchron\.(?=com$|net$).*$ posted in the acceptable_aliases.
