[Bug 514625] [NEW] Mailman 3 member functions should "guess" address membership

by Stephen Turnbull

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 518517] [NEW] Add the equivalent of postconf(1)

by Barry Warsaw

Public bug reported: Postfix has a very handy command called postconf(1) which lets you dump all or one Postfix configuration variable. It would be very handy for Mailman 3 to have something similar. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Medium Assignee: Barry Warsaw (barry) Status: Triaged ** Affects: mailman/3.0 Importance: Medium Assignee: Barry Warsaw (barry) Status: Triaged ** Also affects: mailman/3.0 Importance: Medium Assignee: Barry Warsaw (barry) Status: Triaged -- Add the equivalent of postconf(1) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/518517 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.

[Bug 501739] [NEW] Approved: header not always removed

by Mark Sapiro

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

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 529100] [NEW] Initial 'emptyarchive' page can have wrong host name in listinfo page link

by Mark Sapiro

Public bug reported: Because of the processing sequence in bin/newlist and Mailman/Cgi/create.py The initial archive index page for a new list is built with a link to the listinfo page with host name DEFAULT_URL_HOST instead of the host name supplied to newlist with -u or the host name of the create web page. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Initial 'emptyarchive' page can have wrong host name in listinfo page link https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/529100 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

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 529550] [NEW] Held Messages Won't Accept Action - Underscore in Email

by Maypo

Public bug reported: It seems when mailman encounters an email address with an underscore embedded in the user name that is sent from a non-member, the held message gets stuck and won't accept accept, defer, reject or delete ie xxx_xxx(a)domain.com. Tested this by setting up test list, using default setup only changing administrative email and adding one member to accept the forwarded email. When sending from non-member with xxx_xxx(a)domain.com, moderation web page will accept radio button for action, but no action is taken. The moderation web page for moderation is re-displayed with no action taken. At that point if mailman get other requests from non-members even if thay are other email addresses, mailman will append these to the held messages file and they will all stack up with no way to delete them. I now have 3 held messages in one of my lists. One underscore sandwiched between 2 'normal' email addresses. I have tried: Setting held days with no help Looking at each individually and trying to delete Add user to the mebership list (the moderate screen will then show the moderated user as a member) All with no change. The radio button is activated, submit is hit and mailman takes no action and re-displays the moderator screen. Bluehost has this loaded as a basic service and I cannot get to the files to manually delete the held messages. At this point, the only work around is to delete the entire list and start from default (painful for a big list).
