[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 701558] [NEW] Content filtering leaves a single sub-part in a multipart message.

by Mark Sapiro

Public bug reported: If the original message is multipart but not multipart/alternative and content filtering removes all but one part, the message is left as a multipart message with only the one sub-part instead of being recast as just the sub-part. This can cause msg_header and/or msg_footer to be added as separate parts to a text/plain message instead of being added to the text/plain body part. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Medium Assignee: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Status: Triaged ** Changed in: mailman Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: mailman Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: mailman Milestone: None => 2.1.15 ** Changed in: mailman Assignee: (unassigned) => Mark Sapiro (msapiro) ** Description changed: - If the original message in multipart but not multipart/alternative and + If the original message is multipart but not multipart/alternative and content filtering removes all but one part, the message is left as a multipart message with only the one sub-part instead of being recast as just the sub-part.

[Bug 576675] [NEW] Content filtering fails to collapse alternatives.

by Mark Sapiro

Public bug reported: Collapsing multipart/alternative parts to just the first alternative only works if the message itself is multipart/alternative, or the multipart/alternative part is at the first sub-level. For example, given this structure: multipart/mixed | multipart/related | | multipart/alternative | | | text/plain | | | text/html | | image/jpeg | application/msword The multipart/alternative part will not be collapsed. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Medium Assignee: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Status: In Progress ** Changed in: mailman Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: mailman Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: mailman Milestone: None => 2.1.14 ** Changed in: mailman Assignee: (unassigned) => Mark Sapiro (msapiro) -- Content filtering fails to collapse alternatives. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576675 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.

[Bug 757062] [NEW] Content filtering can remove the headers from a message/rfc822 part.

by Mark Sapiro

Public bug reported: If Content filtering accepts both message/rfc822 and multipart/alternative MIME parts, and a message/rfc822 part contains a message whose content type is multipart/alternative and collapse_alternatives is Yes, the headers of the message in the message/rfc822 part will be lost. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Low Assignee: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Status: In Progress ** Tags: mailman3 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/757062 Title: Content filtering can remove the headers from a message/rfc822 part.

[Bug 775294] [NEW] Set lifetime for input forms

by Tokio Kikuchi

*** This bug is a security vulnerability *** Private security bug reported: We may have to set lifetime for input forms because of recent activities on cross-site request forgery (CSRF). The form lifetime is successfully deployed in frameworks like web.py or plone etc. Proposed branch lp:~tkikuchi/mailman/form-lifetime implement lifetime in admin, admindb, options and edithtml interfaces. Other forms like create and rmlist have confirmation by password thus are safe regarding CSRF. The form generation time is set by a hidden parameter whose value is calculated following the mailman cookie algorithm. The default lifetime is set 1 hour in Default.py thus configurable by a site administrator. If a password is set in request, authorization cookie is discarded so the password authentication is forced. Wget tricks to manage list in FAQ can be used as they are now. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Branch linked: lp:~tkikuchi/mailman/form-lifetime -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/775294 Title: Set lifetime for input forms

[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

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.
