[Bug 1190582] [NEW] Add some common filters to REST API resources that expose collections
by Florian Fuchs May 23, 2015

May 23, 2015

Public bug reported: When Postorius GETs a collection of lists from the REST API, it will in most situations only use a subset (the ones that are set to "advertise in list index"). This is a minor issue as long as the request isn't paginated, but can lead to incorrect item counts when it is. Example: GET /lists/test(a)example.com?page=1&count=10 will return all lists within the range [:10] from the database. If there are x unadvertised lists in the result, the page will only show 10 - x results. I guess the most common way to solve this is for the REST API to accept a number of common filter params which are used in the WHERE clause of the database query. In this case: GET /lists/test(a)example.com?page=1&count=10&advertised=(0|1|2) 0 - only non-advertised 1 - only advertised 2 - both ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: mailman3 rest ** Description changed: When Postorius GETs a collection of lists from the REST API, it will in most situations only use a subset (the ones that are set to "advertise in list index").

[Bug 1170726] [NEW] The LMTP server needs to check acceptable aliases
by Barry Warsaw May 23, 2015

May 23, 2015

Public bug reported: The LMTP server currently does a sanity check on the To field of the incoming message, to ensure that it is addressed to a valid mailing list. This check ignores acceptable aliases, but it should honor them. ** 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/1170726 Title: The LMTP server needs to check acceptable aliases To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1170726/+subscriptions

[Bug 1170388] [NEW] the tomoderators argument to "send" is ignored
by Stephen A. Goss May 23, 2015

May 23, 2015

Public bug reported: searching all the code (mailman-3.0.0b3) (with ack) for "tomoderators" returns this: $ ack -ai tomoderators src/mailman/bin/checkdbs.py 202: msg.send(mlist, **{'tomoderators': True}) src/mailman/chains/hold.py 241: nmsg.send(mlist, **dict(tomoderators=True)) src/mailman/app/moderator.py 228: msg.send(mlist, tomoderators=True) 299: msg.send(mlist, tomoderators=True) I can't see where this option is actually used. In practice, the moderation notification sent from hold.py in line 241 just goes to everyone in the mailing list, not the moderators. ** 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/1170388 Title: the tomoderators argument to "send" is ignored To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1170388/+subscriptions

[Bug 1096812] [NEW] Threading issues in mailman 3.0.0b2
by David Bell May 23, 2015

May 23, 2015

Public bug reported: I am seeing concurrency issues when using mailman 3 in a threaded application server. Reading the Storm documentation it states that "Store objects are not threadsafe. [...] Therefore, the best policy is usually to create a Store object for each thread which needs one" (https://storm.canonical.com/Manual#Working_with_multiple_threads) In mailman/database/base.py:141 I see a Store being created and cached. As recommended in the storm docs, Stores should not be cached. ** 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/1096812 Title: Threading issues in mailman 3.0.0b2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1096812/+subscriptions

[Bug 1023681] [NEW] bin/mailman -C config start does not work with a relativ config path
by AlexanderS May 23, 2015

May 23, 2015

Public bug reported: During testing I encountered, that bin/mailman is not working correctly if you supply a relative path as -C argument. For the main process the path is converted into a absolute path during startup but the bin/master process is getting the relative filename but maybe a different working directory. The attached patch fixes that behavior by supplying the generated absolute pathname to the new process. ** 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/1023681 Title: bin/mailman -C config start does not work with a relativ config path To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1023681/+subscriptions

[Bug 987031] [NEW] archival hashes can be shortened
by Jeff Breidenbach May 23, 2015

May 23, 2015

Public bug reported: The draft for archival hashes for mailman specifies 32 character, base 32 encoding. We can get away with 13 characters which expects the first collision at around 50 billion messages. The the wikipedia charts in their "birthday attack" article. It's not like an occasional collision is a big deal and this is not a security issue. ** 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/987031 Title: archival hashes can be shortened To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/987031/+subscriptions
