[Bug 1518084] [NEW] documentation: reply-to munging "useful" link now points to a spam domain
by Sander 03 Feb '16

03 Feb '16

Public bug reported: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/2.1/annotate/head:/doc/… line 86 includes a link, "Reply-To Munging Considered Useful", pointing to metasystema.org/essays/reply-to-useful.mhtml archive.org shows this document disappeared sometime between late 2013 and mid-2014, and if it's currently visited, your browser gets redirected through a large number of what I can only assume to be spam domains. I don't know if there's any policy for what to do with dead links in documentation, but a faithful reproduction of the document seems to live on http://marc.merlins.org/netrants/reply-to-useful.html (unchanged for the last 11 years based on a swift visual inspection via archive.org), so updating the link to point there seems to make sense. ** 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/1518084 Title: documentation: reply-to munging "useful" link now points to a spam domain To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1518084/+subscriptions

[Bug 1512866] [NEW] Some news servers reject some posts from the mail<->news gateway
by Mark Sapiro 03 Feb '16

03 Feb '16

Public bug reported: NewsRunner, when gating a list post to usenet, will append the appropriate usenet group name to any existing Newsgroups: header in the post that doesn't already contain the name. If the existing names in the header are a group or groups that don't exist on the gated news server, at least one server has been observed to reject the post. In some cases with the python-list(a)python.org list, we have seen 441 No valid newsgroups in "gmane.comp.python.general, comp.lang.python" This would actually seem to be a bug in the news server, but I will try prepending rather than appending the group name to see if that helps. ** 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/1512866 Title: Some news servers reject some posts from the mail<->news gateway To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1512866/+subscriptions

[Bug 1482940] [NEW] A bounced probe can throw AttributeError
by Mark Sapiro 03 Feb '16

03 Feb '16

Public bug reported: If the site has set 'VERP_PROBES = Yes', when a user's bounce score reaches threshold, that user's score is reset and a probe message with a confirmation token is sent to the user. If the probe bounces, the user's delivery is disabled by bounce. The issue is if the probe bounces, but for some reason, the bounce is not returned within bounce_info_stale_after days, the user's bounce_info can be deleted before the probe bounce is returned. Then the probe processing gets the user's bounce_info which is None and attempts to disable the member's delivery with bounce_info = None, and disableBouncingMember attempts to get the cookie attribute from None resulting in AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'cookie' ** 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/1482940 Title: A bounced probe can throw AttributeError To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1482940/+subscriptions

[Bug 1459236] [NEW] Mailman/Postfix integration doesn't generate virtual maps for all site list domains.
by Mark Sapiro 03 Feb '16

03 Feb '16

Public bug reported: An address of the form mailman(a)example.com is exposed on the web admin and listinfo overview pages where 'mailman' is the name of the site list and 'example.com' is the 'email domain' associated with the host in the URL of the page. This means that the 'mailman' address should work in all Postfix virtual domains and Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py should generate virtual mappings for that. ** 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/1459236 Title: Mailman/Postfix integration doesn't generate virtual maps for all site list domains.

[Bug 1447445] [NEW] Web subscribe can fail in cases of load balancers or other devices.
by Mark Sapiro 03 Feb '16

03 Feb '16

Public bug reported: The fix for (LP: #1082746) implemented a SUBSCRIBE_FORM_SECRET feature. If this is enabled by a site, the subscribe form on the listinfo page contains a hidden input field which includes a hash of various data including the IP address that the GET of the listinfo came from. Upon submission of the form, this hash is recomputed using the IP address that the POST of the form came from, and if the hashes don't match, the subscribe fails. This can cause legitimate subscribes to fail if the user is connected via a load balancer or other device which submits http(s) requests using a possibly different IP for each request. ** 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/1447445 Title: Web subscribe can fail in cases of load balancers or other devices.

[Bug 1517712] [NEW] Web or email interface to show all lists an address is subscribe to.
by PaulWay 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Public bug reported: At the moment it is difficult for a user to find out which lists they have been subscribed to. With sensible list owners this would not be a problem, but if list owners silently subscribe people to a list without asking then a person can find themselves receiving mail for lists they did not know they were on. I can see two possible interfaces for this: 1) A search form on e.g. http://example.com/mailman/listinfo that allows a user to type in their email address and request a search for lists that they are subscribed to. For security reasons this would forward them an email with a confirmation code. Responding with the correct code would perform the search. 2) Sending an email to e.g. which-lists-am-i-on(a)lists.example.com would automatically respond with the lists the sender's email address is subscribed to. Obviously this does not stop rogue admins continuing to add email lists and silently subscribe people to them, but it does make it easy for a user to find and unsubscribe themselves. This proposal does not intend to combat spam because there are much easier ways of sending spam than setting up mailman :-) Thanks in advance, Paul ** 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/1517712 Title: Web or email interface to show all lists an address is subscribe to.

[Bug 399662] Re: after submit on option page - page double

Indeed my experience is different. in mailman 2.1.18, when I click e.g. the "Disabled" radio button and I press enter, the page is reloaded identical. The unexpected behaviour is that the form isn't submitted. Or rather, I see that there is a POST request whose parameters *seem* to reflect my radio button click, but the change isn't applied. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/399662 Title: after submit on option page - page double To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/399662/+subscriptions
