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.

[Bug 514625] [NEW] Mailman 3 member functions should "guess" address membership
by Stephen Turnbull May 23, 2015

May 23, 2015

Public bug reported: Feature request Mailman 3 should try to fuzzily match unknown author addresses against the member database. For example, if "turnbull(a)sk.domain.tld" is subscribed, then "turnbull(a)shako.sk.domain.tld" probably is the same person. This could probably be efficiently implemented by storing domains in bigendian order, and testing for prefixes. Bonus points for matching on full name. For example, for me personally firstname(a)xemacs.org and lastname(a)xemacs.org both resolve to me, which could not be reasonably associated by algorithm, but I always use the same full name, which would be strong indication that it's me. Possibly matching on mailbox would also be useful, but only as an optimization to be confirmed by one of the other two (or maybe if the match is unique?) Note that for the first example, the second "turnbull@shako" variant is today used only by spammers; I haven't sent a message with that "From" since 1995, and I doubt it's been used as "Sender" more than a very small handful of times since 2000. For this reason, the feature should *never* be automated. Instead, it should be part of the moderation interface. If a match is detected, then an option should appear saying something like "This address appears to be an alias for <member name and address>. [ ] Add <unknown address> as an alias for <member>." ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Feature request Mailman 3 should try to fuzzily match unknown author addresses against the member database.

[Bug 501739] [NEW] Approved: header not always removed
by Mark Sapiro Sept. 21, 2010

Sept. 21, 2010

Public bug reported: Approve follows SpamDetect in the default pipeline. If SpamDetect or another custom or reordered handler preceding Approve holds a post containing an Approve(d): header or pseudo-header, and that post is approved, the Approve(d): header or pseudo-header will not be removed from the delivered message. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Approved: header not always removed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/501739 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.

[Bug 514050] [NEW] listinfo.html templates have a misplaced form start tag
by Mark Sapiro Sept. 21, 2010

Sept. 21, 2010

Public bug reported: The tag <MM-Subscribe-Form-Start> which generates the <form> tag for the subscribe form is in the <td> entry for the language form. This generates invalid HTML which is a problem for at least some browsers. There is also no DOCTYPE directive and other misplaced tags that cause validation errors. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New -- listinfo.html templates have a misplaced form start tag https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/514050 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.

[Bug 497968] [NEW] Need a 'no-daemonize' option for '/bin/mailman start'
by Steve Burling June 19, 2010

June 19, 2010

Public bug reported: The version of Mailman distributed with Apple's Mac OS X Server has a hacked up mailmanctl, primarily to support not daemonizing in the launchd environment. (I think). Their hack is ugly, and it'd be nice if it was made unnecessary. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Need a 'no-daemonize' option for '/bin/mailman start' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/497968 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.

[Bug 515305] [NEW] List password reset while pending messages, they are deleted!
by Maelvon Feb. 1, 2010

Feb. 1, 2010

Public bug reported: I've reseted the admin password with : /usr/lib/mailman/bin/change_pw -l mylist -p mynewpassword While having a pending message. But after the reset, the message seems deleted, cannot find it anymore! So, is that a feature? Can I retrieve the lost message and reapproved it?
