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 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 701558] [NEW] Content filtering leaves a single sub-part in a multipart message.
by Mark Sapiro June 9, 2017

[Bug 576675] [NEW] Content filtering fails to collapse alternatives.
by Mark Sapiro June 9, 2017

June 9, 2017

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 775294] [NEW] Set lifetime for input forms
by Tokio Kikuchi Sept. 5, 2016

Sept. 5, 2016

*** 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 856004] [NEW] "OperationalError: database is locked" encountered under very light load while using REST API
by Stephen A. Goss May 23, 2015

May 23, 2015

Public bug reported: I've seen this error twice while running integration tests (of our own application) that access Mailman 3 using the API. The load on Mailman is very light, as all requests made to the API are serial, never in parallel. Of course the various processing queues in MM3 are separate processes and could be doing work concurrently. The platform is Centos 6.

[Bug 837700] [NEW] Issues with users subscribed via their preferred address
by Barry Warsaw May 23, 2015

May 23, 2015

Public bug reported: You can subscribe an address to a mailing list, and you can subscribe a user to a mailing list, if the user has a preferred address. There are two problems with this. * You can actually end up getting doubly subscribed (i.e. same address with the same role). Normally, the subscription mechanism prevents you from subscribing the same address with the same role more than once, or the same user with the same role more than once. However, if you subscribe once by the address, and once by the user whose preferred address is that same address, the double subscription occurs. * The Member repr() doesn't distinguish between a member that's subscribed via explicit address, and one that's subscribed via preferred address. This means that the above will appear as a double address subscription, when it's really not. Are these substantial problems that need to be fixed? Almost certainly the second one does, but I haven't come up with an elegant repr() for the case of a user subscribed with their preferred address. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Low Status: Confirmed ** 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/837700 Title: Issues with users subscribed via their preferred address To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/837700/+subscriptions

[Bug 793669] [NEW] feature request. change the 'list my other subscriptions' to also report if the other subscriptions are enabled or disabled
by Laura Creighton May 23, 2015

May 23, 2015

Public bug reported: I have a large number of subscriptions to mailing lists on python.org. Delivery is disabled on most of them. This is exactly how I want it -- I don't want to keep up with the day to day matters of the list, but I do want to be able to re-anable delivery and discuss things there should the need arise without having to create a new account. However, when I go on vacation, what I want to do is also disable a few high volume lists that I normally want to read every day. Thus what I would really like to see is which lists are currently enabled, so I can decide which one(s) if any I want to disable for the vacation. I don't want to disable the low-volume ones. Given that I am going to have to re-enable the lists I want to read when I get back one by one, I want the number of lists that get temporarily disabled to be as small as possible. And I want to be able to email me the short list of what they were so I can remember which ones to turn on again. Interestingly, the text of the message indicates a usability misunderstanding, and a grammatical error. The text reads: You can view a list of all the other mailing lists at python.org for which you are a member. Use this if you want to make the same membership option changes to this other subscriptions. It should be 'these other subscriptions'. And the people who want to make the same membership option changes to all the lists they are subscribed to on a site are precisely the users who don't need the feature. They can blindly go off and change things globally. If the number of lists they are subscribed to on that site is 1 -- i.e. they do not have any other subscriptions -- then saying to do things globally will do no harm. The reason you might want to look is to check because you might _not_ want to do things globally. And once you are dealing with that case, things you do not want to do globally, then of course you want to see the current settings that you have. But for my use case, all I care about is changing delivery status. All the other options I either never change, or want to change globally. I suspect that most people use mailing lists in this way, where the only thing they need to worry about is changes due to vacation, but I haven't conducted any polls to test this theory. This request sent to the tracker because the automated mail I recevied when some moderator refused to accept my mail to mailman-dev with this feature request, with the message 'why don't you just disable delivery globally and then reset them globally when you return' said that this was the place for feature requests and not the mailing list. Hope this request is clearer and explains why globally disabling is not what I want to do.
