[Bug 965520] [NEW] Improve installation documentation
by Barry Warsaw 23 May '15

23 May '15

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 It's a bit sparse and out-of-date.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

[Bug 881316] [NEW] RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while pickling an object
by Vincent Fretin 23 May '15

23 May '15

Public bug reported: With mailman 3.0.0a8. I got the following traceback from a html mail with html signature+image from Outlook, Oct 14 09:21:31 2011 (17579) 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 64, in _dispose process(mlist, msg, msgdata, mlist.start_chain) File "/home/zope/mailman/src/mailman/core/chains.py", line 90, in process link.function(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/home/zope/mailman/src/mailman/chains/hold.py", line 245, in _process nmsg.send(mlist, **dict(tomoderators=True)) File "/home/zope/mailman/src/mailman/email/message.py", line 198, in send self._enqueue(mlist, **_kws) File "/home/zope/mailman/src/mailman/email/message.py", line 216, in _enqueue virginq.enqueue(self, **str_keywords) File "/home/zope/mailman/src/mailman/core/switchboard.py", line 133, in enqueue msgsave = cPickle.dumps(_msg, protocol) RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while pickling an object It's really an obscure issue for me. 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 23 May '15

23 May '15

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 23 May '15

23 May '15

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 1165589] [NEW] Switchboard fails to log the error message with some exceptions.
by Mark Sapiro 05 May '15

05 May '15

Public bug reported: The Switchboard.finish() method logs an error when attempting to preserve or unlink the .bak file throws an EnvironmentError exception, but the actual error message from the exception isn't logged. This missing information can be quite helpful. ** 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/1165589 Title: Switchboard fails to log the error message with some exceptions.

[Bug 1004044] [NEW] BrowserID system does not keep me logged in
by Jeff Marshall 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

Public bug reported: The BrowserID system on Postorius logs me out all the time, even after just a few page views. I'm constantly having to hit the sign-in button again. If I am trying to perform an administrative function I have to do it very quickly after signing in or else I'm logged out again. There's no error when I get logged out. It simply loses my logged-in state. Creating a superuser account via the command line and logging in that way works flawlessly without any unexpected logouts. The problem is isolated to BrowserID login only.

[Bug 1004049] [NEW] Held messages show display message body
by Jeff Marshall 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

Public bug reported: The Held Messages page on Postorius only shows the subject line of the messages. It seems like the body of the message will also be important for reviewing the held message. According to Barry the body of the message, as a text blob, should be accessible via the REST API: http://packages.python.org/mailman/src/mailman/rest/docs/moderation.html ** Affects: postorius Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is the registrant for Postorius. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1004049 Title: Held messages show display message body To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/postorius/+bug/1004049/+subscriptions
