[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 881320] [NEW] Mailman 3 translations
by Vincent Fretin May 23, 2015

May 23, 2015

Public bug reported: In mailman 3.0.0a8, the locales directory contains actually mailman 2 translations. The unsubscribe mail is not translated into French because the msgids are different between mailman2 and mailman3. Do you have a script to generate a pot file and sync the po files? I had to generate myself the French mo file from the po. It's maybe a good idea to include mo files in the sdist, or generate mo files at mailman startup. ** 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/881320 Title: Mailman 3 translations To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/881320/+subscriptions

[Bug 965520] [NEW] Improve installation documentation
by Barry Warsaw May 23, 2015

May 23, 2015

Public bug reported: This page: http://packages.python.org/mailman/src/mailman/docs/START.html describes how to install, configure, and start Mailman 3. It's a bit sparse and out-of-date. For example, it doesn't describe all the locations that mailman.cfg is search for. It also doesn't describe installing and running mm3 in a virtualenv. This would make a nice bite-sized bug for someone wanting to contribution to Mailman. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: documentation easy mailman3 ** Tags removed: bite-size ** Tags added: easy -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/965520 Title: Improve installation documentation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/965520/+subscriptions

I resolved it by adding sys.setrecursionlimit(10000) in src/mailman/core/switchboard.py before msgsave = cPickle.dumps(_msg, protocol) line 134 and doing bin/mailman unshunt fixed the issue. By default sys.getrecursionlimit() returns 1000. If you want to have a test email to reproduce, I can ask my customer to send an email to a test mailing-list. ** 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/881316 Title: RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while pickling an object To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/881316/+subscriptions

[Bug 881312] [NEW] Properly decode payload
by Vincent Fretin May 23, 2015

May 23, 2015

Public bug reported: With mailman 3.0.0a8 in src/mailman/runners/command.py, there is an issue with body = part.get_payload(decode=True) if you send a mail to test-unsubscribe(a)example.com, with accents in the mail, in the signature for example, you get a body string encoded in iso-8859-1. When you try to concatenate iso-8859-1 string with unicode, this the case when the mail body with "Unprocessed:" and "Ignored:" is generated, you get a UnicodeDecodeError ascii. The code should be modified to correctly decode the mail body like it is done in src/mailman/pipeline/decorate.py mcset = msg.get_content_charset() or 'us-ascii' unicode(msg.get_payload(decode=True), mcset) There are similar issues in src/mailman/rules/administrivia.py with the line: if line == '': where it give you a warning because it compare an iso to an empty unicode. and in src/mailman/rules/approved.py where it simply crashes: Oct 18 17:54:41 2011 (18207) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/zope/mailman/src/mailman/core/runner.py", line 138, in _one_iteration self._process_one_file(msg, msgdata) File "/home/zope/mailman/src/mailman/core/runner.py", line 220, in _process_one_file keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/home/zope/mailman/src/mailman/runners/incoming.py", line 65, in _dispose process(mlist, msg, msgdata, mlist.start_chain) File "/home/zope/mailman/src/mailman/core/chains.py", line 68, in process if link.rule.check(mlist, msg, msgdata): File "/home/zope/mailman/src/mailman/rules/approved.py", line 81, in check if ':' in line: UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe0 in position 14: invalid continuation byte Currently, mailman is unusable for another language than English, like French. ** 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/881312 Title: Properly decode payload To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/881312/+subscriptions

[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 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
