[Bug 975668] [NEW] mailman.client conflicts with mailman installation
by Richard Wackerbarth March 24, 2015

March 24, 2015

Public bug reported: If mailman.client is loaded as a separate module (as instructed), then mailman cannot exist in the same environment because there are two "mailman" modules to search. I found this when I tried to generate sphinx documentation for mailman after I had installed protorious. To reproduce: mkvirtualenv BUG bzr branch lp:mailman.client cd mailman.client/ python setup.py develop easy_install sphinx cd .. bzr branch lp:mailman cd mailman python bootstrap.py bin/buildout python setup.py build_sphinx Results in: Running Sphinx v1.1.3 Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 112, in <module> 'zope.testing<4', File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/distutils/core.py", line 152, in setup dist.run_commands() File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py", line 953, in run_commands self.run_command(cmd) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py", line 972, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "/Volumes/UserSpace/rkw/.virtualenvs/BUG/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Sphinx-1.1.3-py2.7.egg/sphinx/setup_command.py", line 140, in run freshenv=self.fresh_env) File "/Volumes/UserSpace/rkw/.virtualenvs/BUG/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Sphinx-1.1.3-py2.7.egg/sphinx/application.py", line 102, in __init__ confoverrides or {}, self.tags) File "/Volumes/UserSpace/rkw/.virtualenvs/BUG/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Sphinx-1.1.3-py2.7.egg/sphinx/config.py", line 216, in __init__ exec code in config File "/Volumes/UserSpace/rkw/.virtualenvs/BUG/mailman/conf.py", line 54, in <module> from mailman.version import VERSION ImportError: No module named version ** 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/975668 Title: mailman.client conflicts with mailman installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/975668/+subscriptions

[Bug 543618] [NEW] test breaks if existing mailman.cfg is found
by Patrick Ben Koetter March 24, 2015

March 24, 2015

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 1060951] [NEW] Bug getting i18n'ed attachment filenames (RFC2231)
by Aurélien Bompard Dec. 30, 2014

Dec. 30, 2014

Public bug reported: RFC 2231 allows filenames to have non-ascii characters. The get_filename() method in Python's Message class handles this by calling email.utils.collapse_rfc2231_value() at the end of get_filename. This method returns the filename in Unicode. This fails in Mailman because the mailman.email.message.Message class has a wrapper around get() and __getitem__() to return unicode headers. As a result, the collapse_rfc2231_value() tries to transforms into unicode an already unicode string, and I get the following exception: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/email/utils.py", line 319, in collapse_rfc2231_value return unicode(rawval, charset, errors) TypeError: decoding Unicode is not supported A possible solution to this would be to make Mailman's Message get_filename() method be more than just an exception-catching wrapper, and re-implement the original get_filename() method, inserting a conversion to str before calling collapse_rfc2231_value(). Does this make sense ? Any other idea for a possible solution ? ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1060951 Title: Bug getting i18n'ed attachment filenames (RFC2231) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1060951/+subscriptions

[Bug 880613] [NEW] PostgreSQL constraints disabled
by Barry Warsaw Nov. 29, 2014

Nov. 29, 2014

Public bug reported: In src/mailman/database/sql/postgres.sql, several foreign key constraints have been commented out because otherwise the test suite, or other aspects do not work. This is probably because there are cases where Mailman violates these constraints, but SQLite3 (the default database) does not care. All disabled constraints are marked with XXX in the above file. Really, these should be fixed. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Medium 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/880613 Title: PostgreSQL constraints disabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/880613/+subscriptions

[Bug 1082746] [NEW] Automated processes can swamp a list with web subscription requests.
by Mark Sapiro Oct. 2, 2014

Oct. 2, 2014

Public bug reported: There are discussions of this in threads at <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman- users/2012-October/074213.html>, <http://mail.python.org/pipermail /mailman-users/2012-October/074278.html> and <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman- users/2012-November/074412.html>. The Mailman developers do not think there is any way to prevent this other that disabling web subscribe entirely, as by definition, subscription requests come from unauthenticated users. However, an attempt will be made to mitigate this by making a site option to include a dynamically generated hidden hash in the subscribe form which will at least require an automated process to first GET and parse the listinfo form immediately prior to POSTing it. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Medium Assignee: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Status: In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1082746 Title: Automated processes can swamp a list with web subscription requests.

[Bug 518517] [NEW] Add the equivalent of postconf(1)
by Barry Warsaw April 22, 2014

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

[Bug 1067953] [NEW] Request: Add HTML support for message excerpt preview
by Conrad Yoder April 17, 2014

April 17, 2014

Public bug reported: Many if not most people currently use HTML-formatted email. When list moderators have to approve email postings on the Administrative Requests page, only a plaintext Message Excerpt is displayed, making informed viewing of a list member's message sometimes next to impossible. Looking through the mailman discussion list archives, I see that this feature was asked for as far back as 2005 - 7 years ago, so this is not a "new" suggestion. This would be an extremely helpful feature to add. If there are security concerns, a toggle or config option could easily be added so HTML viewing is not the default, and/or java/javascript could be disabled in the preview window. Thank you for your consideration here. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: excerpt html preview request -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1067953 Title: Request: Add HTML support for message excerpt preview To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1067953/+subscriptions

[Bug 869342] [NEW] bootstrap.py fails if buildout already installed in Python environment
by Stephen A. Goss April 15, 2014
