Category: list administration Group: Mailman 2.1 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: The Anarcat (anarcat) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: true virtual hosting patch for 2.1 Initial Comment: [copy of the mail sent to -developpers@] We developped a reliable solution for running lists with the same name on different domains on the same Mailman installation. I implemented that on top of the Mailman 2.1.1-5.1 Debian stable package. All that is needed is to patch 2 files (bin/newlist, Mailman/MailList.py) in the mailman install, and here is the patch: http://bugs.koumbit.net/file_download.php?file_id=3&type=bug There's only one caveat right now: Mailman/Cgi/create.py might need to get patched too, but I haven't got around looking at it yet, and it "just works", for now. I don't know what's the current status of virtual hosting support on Mailman, but this patch is a simple hack that should bring joy in the homes of all Mailman admins around the world. :) I got my inspiration and part of the code from: http://mithrandr.moria.org/blog/139.html All it does is to add the domain to the internal_name() of a list. The real_name is kept as is, and the getListAddress() does the Right Thing. This makes Mailman generate aliases like: list-example.com: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post list-example.com" Care will have to be taken on the MTA side to map those list-example.com to list(a)example.com. We are using alternc.org to manage our server, so we are using LDAP, so everything went pretty smoothly. :) But I guess it will require some magic on the Postfix side or something... Cheers, A. PS: for those wanting to see more, you can come to our Wiki: http://koumbit.net/wiki/VirtualMailman You'll probably have a little trouble finding your way if you don't read french though. :) Babelfish might help, haven't tried. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: The Anarcat (anarcat) Date: 2008-04-16 13:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=246797 Originator: YES The patch is online in our wiki: http://wiki.koumbit.net/VirtualMailman Note that the v3 of mailman now supports this out of the box, although it's in alpha, as far as I understand. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Graham Leggett (minfrin) Date: 2008-04-16 13:09 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=129704 Originator: NO The site http://nix.lauft.net/mailman/ is now down - does anyone have a copy of the mailman-vh-2.1.7.patch anywhere? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Paul Hampson (tbble) Date: 2007-03-01 17:57 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=87909 Originator: NO Grab mailman-vh-2.1.7.patch from http://nix.lauft.net/mailman/, it applies fine to 2.1.9. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: GILLIG (fgillig) Date: 2007-03-01 06:18 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1463624 Originator: NO I search this patch for mailman 2.1.9 ...

Category: Pipermail Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Ivan Iraci (il_santo) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Correct italian language encoding Initial Comment: In Defaults.py add_language('it', _('Italian'), 'iso-8859-1') should be changed in: add_language('it', _('Italian'), 'utf-8') And the same, IMHO, should be done for all the other languages. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2008-04-14 09:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Originator: NO It's not that simple. Making that change also requires that the message catalog and all templates be converted from iso-8859-1 to utf-8. The fact that you have categorized this as a pipermail issue makes me suspect that you have something like Apache's AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 in your web server configuration causing it to serve archive pages with a Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8" header which overrides the <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> tag specification in the html page. If that is the issue, you can work around it by putting AddDefaultCharset Off in an appropriate place in the web server confifuration or in a .htaccess file in the archives/private/ directory. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1942206&group_…

Alternatively, when the user initially joins a list, she could be permitted to enter an OpenID URL instead of an initial password. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1789138&group_…

[ mailman-Bugs-736559 ] Subject wrap with tab character

Category: mail delivery Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Closed Resolution: Invalid Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Swen Haubold (swen_haubold) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Subject wrap with tab character Initial Comment: Mailman: 2.1.2 The subject line is wrapped by a tab character, if the line contains more than 78 characters. In this case a space is replaced by an tab character. This behaviour gives trouble with some e-mail client and is also not handled by MHonArc correctly. In an e-mail client a long space is shown or a special character. MHonArc simply removes the tab character therefore two words are combined, e.g. the tab is inserted between the two word "and" and "delivery"; in the archive the subject contains the new word "anddelivery" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jeff Lawson (bovineone) Date: 2008-04-01 14:09 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=511066 Originator: NO Still occurs with Mailman 2.1.9 and MS Outlook 2003 as MUA. It seems that many MUAs may implement header unfolding by removing the CRLF and the first WSP chracter, rather than only the CRLF as the RFC recommends. RFC 2882 also states that the line folding limit "MUST be no more than 998 characters, and SHOULD be no more than 78 characters, excluding the CRLF." It seems reasonable in these modern days to use longer line lengths beyond the conservative 78 character limit and use the 998 limit instead. Increasing the line folding limit would not really fix the original problem, but would reduce the impact on most users. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tokio Kikuchi (tkikuchi) Date: 2005-10-26 19:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=67709 RFC 2822 example states: Subject: This is a test can be represented as: Subject: This is a test Therefore, if MHonArc or a MUA simply removes tab char and not insertes a space in place of the FWS (folding white space), it is his fault. Mailman now select FWS from tab or space as appeared in the original message. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jeff Wilson (jwilson75503) Date: 2005-10-24 22:47 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1083352 This behavior seems to still occur in 2.1.6 http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers% 40python.org/msg09027.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Dave Disser (disser) Date: 2003-06-04 17:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=794167 I notice this also with Mailman 2.1.1. I don't see code in mailman doing it, so it appears to be in email.Header or unicode. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=736559&group_i…
