[Bug 514625] [NEW] Mailman 3 member functions should "guess" address membership

by Stephen Turnbull

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

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 987019] [NEW] special case archive@mail-archive.com

by Jeff Breidenbach

Public bug reported: As discussed, confusion can arise between the archiving module for mailman, and the manual mechanism of adding the archiving subscriber. Do something, perhaps involving ban lists, to keep us out of trouble. (I don't really know what is most sensible. I'd always imagined the archiving module would simply be adding the special subscriber address, but that's not the way it turned out.) ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: mailman3 ** Tags added: 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/987019 Title: special case archive(a)mail-archive.com To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/987019/+subscriptions

[Bug 985149] [NEW] Add List-Post value to permalink hash input

by Barry Warsaw

Public bug reported: Currently, we define the X-Message-ID-Hash as the base32 encoding of the sha1 hash of the Message-ID content (sans angle brackets as defined in RFC 5322). The suggestion is made that List-Post value should be added to this hash so as to be able to distinguish cross-posted messages. This should be fine, and pretty easy. My only concern is that the header name is now a misnomer. I wonder, is it worth coming up with a better header? Now's the time to do it since it's likely that there are almost no consumers of this standard. What about `Permalink-Hash` ? ** Affects: mailman Importance: High 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/985149 Title: Add List-Post value to permalink hash input To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/985149/+subscriptions

[Bug 982555] [NEW] LMTP should reject unknown lists in RCPT-stage

[Bug 975711] [NEW] Store the list style in the mailinglist table

by Barry Warsaw

Public bug reported: It seems useful to record the list style that was used to create the mailing list. Maybe this could be used later to propagate changes in the style to lists that were created with it. The problem is that the style machinery is way to over-engineered. There's actually a priority system for applying a style to a mailing list. This should be simplified anyway, and then we could store the style name in the database. It makes no sense to do this with the complicated scheme currently used. ** Affects: mailman Importance: High 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/975711 Title: Store the list style in the mailinglist table To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/975711/+subscriptions

[Bug 965520] [NEW] Improve installation documentation

by Barry Warsaw

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

by Vincent Fretin

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

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
