[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 826861] [NEW] doctests failing on Centos 6 due to "unprintable" error objects
by Stephen A. Goss May 23, 2015

May 23, 2015

Public bug reported: On Centos 6 (64 bit), the following tests fail due to what looks like some kind of Python object printing quirk with the version that ships with RHEL 6 and derivatives: src/mailman/model/docs/membership.txt src/mailman/model/docs/users.txt The errors all look like this: File "/home/sgoss/mailman_clone/src/mailman/model/docs/membership.txt", line 296, in membership.txt Failed example: gwen_member.address = new_address Differences (ndiff with -expected +actual): Traceback (most recent call last): - ... - UnverifiedAddressError: gperson(a)example.com + File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/doctest.py", line 1248, in __run + compileflags, 1) in test.globs + File "<doctest membership.txt[68]>", line 1, in <module> + gwen_member.address = new_address + File "/home/sgoss/mailman_clone/src/mailman/model/member.py", line 116, in address + raise UnverifiedAddressError(new_address) + UnverifiedAddressError: <unprintable UnverifiedAddressError object> The system reports Python version 2.6.5. This error does not seem to occur with Python 2.7 on Ubuntu 11.04. One possibility is that for some reason when it comes to printing out those error objects, Python doesn't have a default encoding scheme for representing the embedded unicode strings in that particular context (email address in the above example). ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** 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/826861 Title: doctests failing on Centos 6 due to "unprintable" error objects To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/826861/+subscriptions

[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.

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

[Bug 725498] [NEW] expose message-id to templates
by Thijs Kinkhorst Aug. 5, 2013

Aug. 5, 2013

Public bug reported: As reported by Adrian von Bidder to Debian: Please consider this trivial patch, which exposees message-ids to the templates used for the email archive. See it in action on lists.debian.ch. (I don't think my modification to the templates should be in, but having te message-id exposed would mean I won't have to remember to patch mailman on every update...) (AFAICT mailman adds a Message-Id when an incoming email doesn't have one, so this should never be a problem.) ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: mailman (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/725498 Title: expose message-id to templates
