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.

[Bug 544477] [NEW] setting localhost in postfix_lmtp breaks delivery
by Patrick Ben Koetter Sept. 27, 2020

Sept. 27, 2020

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 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 543627] [NEW] mailman command does not initialize directory structure on first run
by Patrick Ben Koetter Sept. 20, 2010

Sept. 20, 2010

Public bug reported: Contrary to "src/mailman/docs/START.txt" which says Run the ``bin/mailman info`` command to see which configuration file Mailman will use, and where it will put its database file. The first time you run this, Mailman will also create any necessary run-time directories and log files. neither the mailman command alone nor running it with option "info" creates the initial directory structure. If you go with the default settings in mailman.cfg you probably won't notice because you are within the correct directory structure. But if you set "var_dir: /opt/mailman" in e.g. /etc/mailman.cfg things break. I believe fixing this would also fix ticket #543620. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New -- mailman command does not initialize directory structure on first run https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543627 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.

[Bug 571904] [NEW] Aggregated list with subscribers from other lists
by Josh Triplett May 13, 2010

May 13, 2010

Public bug reported: On our site (http://lists.psas.pdx.edu) we have a list (psas-team) which automatically includes the subscribers from any other PSAS mailing list (except psas-announce). This makes it easy to have a list for each team and a list for anyone on any team. We use a custom script to aggregate the subscribers regularly. Ideally we'd like native support for this in mailman instead; we'd like to create a list and say "automatically include the subscribers of the following lists as subscribers to this list". (Bonus if we can say "all lists of the form psas-* except for psas-announce".) We'd also like the ability for people to subscribe directly to psas-team, without having to subscribe to one of the other lists; currently we use a fake list psas-misc to feed people into psas- team, but this seems like a hack. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Aggregated list with subscribers from other lists https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571904 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.

[Bug 571902] [NEW] Side-wide whitelist
by Josh Triplett April 29, 2010

April 29, 2010

Public bug reported: Many lists only allow subscribers to post. On these lists, people often subscribe so they can post, but disable delivery so they don't receive all the (potentially high-volume) list traffic. In general, someone who has gone to the trouble of subscribing to one list at a site often qualifies to post to any list at that site, but mailman does not make it trivial to implement such a policy. A few mailman installations have custom patches for this. I'd like to have the ability to trivially (as in "check a checkbox") implement the following policy with mailman: - Allow posting from anyone subscribed to any list on this site, or whitelisted for any list on this site. This would also, as a side effect, allow a dummy list to serve as a place to subscribe for whitelisting purposes only. (See http://lists.debian.org/whitelist/ for an example of such a list.) I can imagine that some people might want to specify a specific list for use in whitelisting, rather than any list on the site, though I personally don't care about that variation. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Side-wide whitelist https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571902 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.
