Category: Web UI Group: Mailman 2.2 / 3.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Tokio Kikuchi (tkikuchi) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: fix concurrency problem in 2.2 Initial Comment: The problem is described in a mailman-dev post. http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers@python.org/msg10203.html Fix this by introducing reload mechanism in the interface to SQLAlchemy. I use session.refresh() to do this but because this function looks like to break locks, attempt is made to save the lock status and lock again after refresh. I'm not sure this is the right way to fix the problem but it is working (for now). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=1688957&group_…

It's helpful to filter mailinglists and other stuff. p.heinlein+extension1(a)heinlein-support.de is the same like "p.heinlein(a)heinlein-support.de". If user+extension@ is subscribed to a mailinglist, Mailman should also accept user@ as a subscribed member address. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1687455&group_…

Scrubber.py would throw an exception if a message it was processing had no text/plain part. The new patch adds line 190 to Scrubber.py format = delsp = None File Added: flowed.patch.txt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2007-02-26 09:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Originator: NO I replaced the patch again. 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. File Added: flowed.patch.txt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2007-02-24 22:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Originator: NO I have replaced the flowed.patch.txt file attached. The previous scrubber patch didn't work. This one has been more thoroughly tested and does work at least for the test cases tried. There is an additional fix in this scrubber patch which has to do with getting the appropriate character set for the part separator. See the thread beginning at <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2006-November/054515.html>.

Line numbers may need adjusting for earlier versions. This is a preliminary patch for testing and shouldn't be considered official at this point. Feedback will be appreciated.

For now, I am very happy that I can just turn off my footer and get the right behavior (as a work-around). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2006-10-13 11:23 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Regarding the previous comment. 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. I do have it on my 'to do' list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: P T Withington (ptwithy) Date: 2006-10-13 10:05 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=615189 Man this bug drives me NUTS! 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 the list admin specifies a header or footer to be added to outgoing messages, then the content-type header is zapped and then regenerated from just the charset info, i.e. the format=flowed parameter is lost. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1495122&group_…

[ mailman-Bugs-1085651 ] Broken PGP/MIME signature of messages with attachments

Category: mail delivery Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Etienne M. Gagnon (egagnon) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Broken PGP/MIME signature of messages with attachments Initial Comment: Hi, When I send a PGP/MIME signed message *with* attachments (in addition to the PGP signature) to a Mailman-based mailing list, Firefox/Enigmail fails to verify the signature of the message forwarded by mailman. I have uploaded an example message with a broken signature as attachment to this bug. You can also see how Mailman's automatic archives don't even handle such messages correctly by looking at how it archived that message at: http://sablecc.org/lists/sablecc-user/2004-December/000159.html I've looked in the bugs database and found that a somewhat related problem was reported a while ago, but note that the current bug is different. The original bug was about PGP/MIME signed messages without attachments that were handled incorrectly by Enigmail. This one is about messages with attachments, and it is likely that the bug is Mailman's, at least accroding to the reply I got in: http://bugzilla.mozdev.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8466 Thanks for your help (and for the magnificient software)!

HTML emails signed using PGP/MIME and plaintext emails with attachments, both fail signature tests when checked in Enigmail 0.94.0.0 (20060110) on Thunderbird 1.5.0.10 (20070310). I'm running Mailman 2.1.9_rc1 (Gentoo ebuild) on Linux, with the Qmail MTA. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Magnus Holmgren (proffe) Date: 2006-05-11 20:02 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=669310 This is a duplicate of bug #815297. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bas Wijnen (shevek) Date: 2005-03-20 23:51 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=42389 That function does indeed not conserve whitespace. E-mail doesn't say whitespace in headers (or even the message) must be preserved, so strictly speaking it's not a bug. However, it is a missing feature, and I think python is the place to implement it, not mailman. The point is that signed e-mails with attachments are sent as two parts: One which is a complete e-mail by itself, and one which holds the signature for that e-mail. This is because in attachments whitespace must be preserved (as opposed to the situation in the message itself). It would be very convenient if such e-mail can be handled by python programs without rewriting the things which work fine for non-signed e-mails. If the attachment is really changed, of course the signature will be broken. However, if it is not, it should not be hard to write out the same message (with whitespace preserved) as was read in. If this is not possible, it is quite hard to do it in the program, as python doesn't seem to support loading a part of an e-mail which has headers of its own as a binary attachment (without touching whitespace, in particular). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jonas Berlin (xkr47) Date: 2005-03-19 22:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=66259 from python's Message.py: def _get_params_preserve(self, failobj, header): # Like get_params() but preserves the quoting of values. BAW: # should this be part of the public interface? According to my analysis of the comment, the function in question does _not_ guarantee to preserve the header as-is, it only preserves _quoting_. Thus, I don't think we can call this a bug in python. If there's more official documentation elsewhere that states that it should preserve everything as-is, then ignore this comment altogether :). I didn't have time to grasp how mailman actually uses that Message class, but I think mailman should be changed to use functions that don't alter the message, and/or re-implement that work according to the requirements of mailman (or, users of mailman :). Anyway, an alternative could be to continue to use the Message.py functions to parse the values while analyzing the contents of the message, and then copypaste the original headers as-is after checking. - xkr47 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Etienne M.

As far as your issue of not archiving is concerned, it seems that perhaps ArchRunner is/was not running. If this is the case, addressing the issuue that caused it to die and restarting it will probably archive all the unprocessed messages in the archive/ queue. OTOH, possible there is some issue causing the messages to be shunted. In this case, fixing the underlying issue and running bin/unshunt should archive the messages. It would be very unusual if the messages were completely lost. Regarding your feature request, look at the "Daily status report script" (mmdsr) <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1123383&group_id=1…> and in Mailman's contrib/ directory since 2.1.7.
