[Bug 544477] [NEW] setting localhost in postfix_lmtp breaks delivery

by Patrick Ben Koetter

Public bug reported: Setting localhost in postfix_lmtp works against Postfix defaults and breaks delivery. Reason: The Postfix lmtp client only uses dns queries by default to search for hostnames. If the DNS server does not provide an answer for "localhost" delivery from the lmtp client to mailman fails. Solution: Provide "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost". This does not require DNS and is even faster because it saves DNS lookups. Example: hey2(a)mailman.state-of-mind.de lmtp:[localhost.localdomain]:8024 ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: 3.0 mailman -- setting localhost in postfix_lmtp breaks delivery https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/544477 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.

[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 543618] [NEW] test breaks if existing mailman.cfg is found

by Patrick Ben Koetter

Public bug reported: The test program reports an error if it detects an existing mailman.cfg: Failure in test test_current_working_directory (mailman.tests.test_configfile.TestConfigFileSearch) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/unittest.py", line 279, in run testMethod() File "/root/mailman/src/mailman/tests/test_configfile.py", line 107, in test_current_working_directory self.assertEqual(found, config_file) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/unittest.py", line 350, in failUnlessEqual (msg or '%r != %r' % (first, second)) AssertionError: '/etc/mailman.cfg' != u'/tmp/tmpVfAIyB/home/alex/mailman/hacking/mailman.cfg' I believe it should not do this. It should either silently ignore the difference or use the test mailman.cfg or ... but not break. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: 3.0 mailman -- test breaks if existing mailman.cfg is found https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543618 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.

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

Public bug reported: Postfix has a very handy command called postconf(1) which lets you dump all or one Postfix configuration variable.

[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.
