[Bug 1129742] [NEW] New Majordomo-to-Mailman-2.x import script
by Geoff Mayes July 14, 2013

July 14, 2013

Public bug reported: Hi, I'm not sure it's worth the trouble at this point (i.e. Mailman 3 dev focus and Majordomo hardly in existence anymore), but I nonetheless wanted to let you know about a, IMHO, more current (i.e. handles Mailman 2.15) and thorough Majordomo-to-Mailman script to potentially add to the contrib/ directory of the Mailman-2.x tarball, just in case this might help out other folks: https://github.com/mayesgr/import_majordomo_into_mailman Kind regards, Geoff Mayes ** … [View More]

[Bug 1082308] [NEW] The qrunner-master lock file causes issues when running clustered
by David Westlund July 14, 2013

July 14, 2013

Public bug reported: Hi It is possible to run mailman in a failover or load balancing cluster, see: http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030621 When running a cluster, it is crucial to use: * a shared directory for archive data * a shared directory for locks * separate directories for each qrunner This is possible to implement by setting the directories in mm_cfg.py, for example like this (where <host> is a host name): VAR_PREFIX = '<shared dir>' LIST_DATA_DIR = … [View More]os.path.join(VAR_PREFIX, 'lists') LOCK_DIR = os.path.join(VAR_PREFIX, 'locks') DATA_DIR = os.path.join(VAR_PREFIX, 'data') SPAM_DIR = os.path.join(VAR_PREFIX, 'spam') LOG_DIR = os.path.join(VAR_PREFIX, 'logs-<host>') PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_FILE_DIR = os.path.join(VAR_PREFIX, 'archives', 'public') PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_FILE_DIR = os.path.join(VAR_PREFIX, 'archives', 'private') # For qfiles and logs, <dir>-<host> is used to avoid conflicts QUEUE_DIR = os.path.join(VAR_PREFIX, 'qfiles-<host>') INQUEUE_DIR = os.path.join(QUEUE_DIR, 'in') OUTQUEUE_DIR = os.path.join(QUEUE_DIR, 'out') CMDQUEUE_DIR = os.path.join(QUEUE_DIR, 'commands') BOUNCEQUEUE_DIR = os.path.join(QUEUE_DIR, 'bounces') NEWSQUEUE_DIR = os.path.join(QUEUE_DIR, 'news') ARCHQUEUE_DIR = os.path.join(QUEUE_DIR, 'archive') SHUNTQUEUE_DIR = os.path.join(QUEUE_DIR, 'shunt') VIRGINQUEUE_DIR = os.path.join(QUEUE_DIR, 'virgin') BADQUEUE_DIR = os.path.join(QUEUE_DIR, 'bad') RETRYQUEUE_DIR = os.path.join(QUEUE_DIR, 'retry') MAILDIR_DIR = os.path.join(QUEUE_DIR, 'maildir') Unfortunately, the master-qrunner lock causes problem with this setup. mailmanctl -s starts even if there is a master-qrunner file (provided that there is no running mailmanctl on the host), making it possible to get the service up and running on more than one host. Once a day however, mailmanctl controls the lock. If it does not have it, it shuts down. If you are running a cluster, at least one of the nodes will not have the lock, and the service will be shut down on that node. To solve this, I propose that the the LOCKFILE name in mailmanctl becomes configurable, so instead of having: LOCKFILE = os.path.join(mm_cfg.LOCK_DIR, 'master-qrunner') Have: LOCKFILE = os.path.join(mm_cfg.LOCK_DIR, mm_cfg.QRUNNER_LOCK_FILE) Then add LOCKFILE = 'master-qrunner' in Defaults.py. This would make it easy to have individual qrunner master lock files for each node in a cluster. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: cluster -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1082308 Title: The qrunner-master lock file causes issues when running clustered To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1082308/+subscriptions [View Less]

[Bug 1032378] [NEW] The Mass Remove function in the web UI requires that send_unsub_notifications_to_list_owner and send_unsub_ack_to_this_batch be set.
by Mark Sapiro July 14, 2013

July 14, 2013

Public bug reported: This is not a problem for the actual web admin interface, as send_unsub_notifications_to_list_owner and send_unsub_ack_to_this_batch are in the form and the CGI will always be able to access them in the CGI data, but if a user creates a URL with query fragments to try to do the unsubscribe via wget in a script, these two items must be included. They should just assume their defaults from list settings. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Low Assignee: Mark Sapiro (… [View More]

[Bug 1161445] [NEW] Localization issue with 'remove_members' and possible fix
by Thomas Baumann July 14, 2013

July 14, 2013

Public bug reported: Hello, I found a language issue that I was able to fix. My installation of Mailman 2.1.13 (Debian Squeeze) uses German localization, DEFAULT_SERVER_LANGUAGE is set to 'de'. The issue: When I remove a member from the commandline with 'remove_members <list> <address>', the mail to the user 'You have been unsubscribed from the <list> mailing list' has an unlocalized subject line. This does not happen using the email interface. Obviously the user … [View More]

[Bug 1082711] [NEW] bin/list_lists needs an option for listing only lists with public archives.
by Mark Sapiro July 14, 2013

July 14, 2013

Public bug reported: For example, if one wants to create a list of pages for public search engines to index, one can make a list of all the *.html files in the archives/private/<listname>/ directory, but one probably only wants to do this for lists with public archives. With an option for listing only lists with public archives, 'bin/list_lists --bare --public_archive' can easily create a list of those lists. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Medium Assignee: Mark Sapiro (… [View More]

Public bug reported: When a message is rejected by a pipeline handler raising Errors.RejectMessage, the message is bounced to the sender with an appropriate message, but nothing is logged. This should be logged in the vette log. ** 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/… [View More]

[Bug 1047100] [NEW] The logger can throw UnicodeEncodeError if the log message is unicode
by Mark Sapiro July 14, 2013

July 14, 2013

Public bug reported: There is code in Mailman's _Syslog.write_ex() method to catch a UnicodeError when writing the log file and quoted-printable encode the log message. This works on messages that contain non-ascii, 8-bit bytes, but if the message is a unicode with non-ascii characters, the attempt to quoted-printable encode it will throw UnicodeEncodeError which is not caught. Fix this by first encoding the unicode message as utf-8 and then quoted- printable encoding that. ** Affects: … [View More]
