[Bug 899344] [NEW] Ability to set nomail on initial subscription
by Josh Triplett Sept. 4, 2012

Sept. 4, 2012

Public bug reported: I frequently find myself subscribing to a list for the sole purpose of ensuring I can post to that list, since it only allows posting from members. I often read those (high-volume) lists via the archives only, as well as threads that CC me. Thus, I want to set the nomail flag. Often I end up doing so for multiple subscriptions to the same list with a few different email addresses. Currently, the process for doing that looks something like this: Type in my name and email address, hit subscribe, wait for confirmation mail, confirm subscription, wait for subscription confirmation mail, go back to web form, copy/paste password, log in, check nomail, delete the handful of unwanted emails that arrived in the meantime. Repeat for every list I want to subscribe to, and every email address I want to post from. I'd like to have a way to set the "nomail" flag right from the subscription form. That would simplify the process significantly; I'd still have to confirm the subscription, but I wouldn't need to bother logging in and setting the flag, and I wouldn't receive unwanted emails from high-volume lists. ** 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/899344 Title: Ability to set nomail on initial subscription To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/899344/+subscriptions

[Bug 736849] [NEW] Sender header change to improve Outlook
by Joseph Brennan Aug. 31, 2012

Aug. 31, 2012

Public bug reported: FAQ 2.3 describes problems with Outlook's ugly display of Sender "on behalf of" From, giving the example as "From listname- bounces(a)mailman.server.com On behalf of fred(a)poster.domain.com". But Outlook prefers to show the real name and hide the Internet address, when a real name is present. Most commonly the From would be "From: Fred Example <fred(a)poster.domain.com>" and as a result Outlook would display "From listname-bounces(a)mailman.server.com On behalf of Fred Example". If Mailman wrote the Sender header with a real name Outlook would show the name there too. For example, if the list name (local part) were inserted, thus "Sender: listname <listname-bounces(a)mailman.server.com>", then Outlook would display "From listname on behalf of Fred Example" which is much better in appearance and still complies with using a Sender header. RFC 2822 allows Sender to contain a real name. sender = "Sender:" mailbox CRLF mailbox = name-addr / addr-spec name-addr = [display-name] angle-addr ** 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/736849 Title: Sender header change to improve Outlook

[Bug 999250] [NEW] Minor fixes in to mailman 2 re. courier-to-mailman.py
by Lindsay June 15, 2012

June 15, 2012

Public bug reported: The contributed (by me) file in mailman-2.1.14 contrib/courier-to- mailman.py is written to be auto-configured with proper path names by the configure script, a task which must be done manually if not done automatically in configure. This should be done just as it is for the qmail-to-mailman.py script which is properly re-written and deposited in the build subdir. The attached patch will modify configure and configure.in appropriately so that this happens (only a mod to configure.in is required if autoconf is to be rerun). This patch also fixes a minor spelling error in contrib/README.courier_to_mailman. Run patch with -p0 I understand that courier-MTA is a relatively little-known MTA, as compared to qmail. Courier is nonetheless a highly regarded full- featured MTA, is under active developent, fully GPL licensed, and has an active worldwide online support community. Qmail has a much larger installed base, but is relatively ancient in design and is almost entirely unsupported by the author. Most qmail installations these days are legacy installations. If courier-to-mailman.py is to be included in the Mailman 2 distribution, please fully support it by allowing it to be fully set up by the Mailman configure script. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: contrib courier -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/999250 Title: Minor fixes in to mailman 2 re. courier-to-mailman.py To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/999250/+subscriptions

[Bug 964190] [NEW] Trailing slash is stripped from List-Archive: URL
by Mark Sapiro June 15, 2012

June 15, 2012

Public bug reported: In creating the List-Archive: header, CookHeaders.py strips a trailing slash from the URL returned by mlist.GetBaseArchiveURL(). It has always (in 2.1) done this, but it is wrong. Consider a list's archive TOC page which has entries like the following: <tr> <td>March 2012:</td> <td> <A href="2012-March/thread.html">[ Thread ]</a> <A href="2012-March/subject.html">[ Subject ]</a> <A href="2012-March/author.html">[ Author ]</a> <A href="2012-March/date.html">[ Date ]</a> </td> <td><A href="2012-March.txt">[ Text 766 KB ]</a></td> </tr> If the base archive URL is http://www.example.com/private/listname/ and one goes to that URL, the relative hrefs all work fine, but if one goes to http://www.example.com/private/listname instead, those relative hrefs become relative to private/ instead of private/listname/, and one gets 'no such list: 2012-march' errors (or 404 errors in the case of public 'pipermail' URLs). ** Affects: mailman Importance: Low Assignee: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) 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/964190 Title: Trailing slash is stripped from List-Archive: URL To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/964190/+subscriptions

[Bug 901957] [NEW] Mailman.Mailbox.Mailbox.AppendMessage method can add null bytes to mailbox.
by Mark Sapiro June 15, 2012

June 15, 2012

Public bug reported: The Mailman.Mailbox.Mailbox.AppendMessage method has an invalid seek to position the file to the end of the mailbox. It contains . # Seek to the last char of the mailbox . self.fp.seek(1, 2) This actually should be self.fp.seek(0, 2). There is no actual ill effect in Mailman itself from this bug as Mailman always opens mailbox files to be written to in 'a+' mode and seeks before writes are ignored for files opened in append mode, but if someone creates a process which opens a file in 'w+' mode and then uses the Mailman.Mailbox.Mailbox.AppendMessage method to add messages to it, each added message's UnixFrom is preceded by a null byte. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Low Assignee: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Status: Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/901957 Title: Mailman.Mailbox.Mailbox.AppendMessage method can add null bytes to mailbox.

[Bug 862683] [NEW] List caching in the qrunners can cause the processes to grow unduly large.
by Mark Sapiro June 15, 2012

June 15, 2012

Public bug reported: The qrunners implement a cache of list objects to save reloading the list from the file system when not necessary. This cache is implemented via a weakref dictionary which is intended to free cached objects when they are no longer referenced. However, there is a self reference in the default MemberAdaptor (OldStyleMemberships) that prevents cached list objects from ever being freed. Thus, the qrunners grow until they have a cached copy of every list. This can be quite large in an installation with many lists and/or multiple large lists. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Low Assignee: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) 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/862683 Title: List caching in the qrunners can cause the processes to grow unduly large.
