Public bug reported: Mailman often do not send emails to all addressees. Usually a single recipient is lost, but sometimes 2 or 3. there is a fragment from mailmans smtp log file, recipient count randomly changed from 28 to 27.

[ mailman-Patches-657951 ] Generate RSS summary in archives

Patches item #657951, was opened at 2002-12-23 14:17 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by bwarsaw You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=657951&group_i… Category: Pipermail Group: Mailman 2.2 / 3.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 7 Submitted By: A.M. Kuchling (akuchling) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Generate RSS summary in archives Initial Comment: Here's a first-draft patch. Things that need fixing: * The generated RSS feed needs to be validated. (It passed the W3C's RDF validator, but RSS validators still need to be checked.) * The date should be given in YYYY-MM-DD format, which requires parsing the .fromdate attribute. * How do I get the URL for an archived message? The generated RSS currently just uses the filename, which is wrong. How do I get at the PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL setting? * Getting the most recent N postings is inefficient; the code loops through all of the archived messages and takes the last N of them. We could add .last() and .prev() methods to the Database class, but that's more ambitious for 2.1beta than I like. (Would be nice to get this into 2.1final...) * The list index page should have a LINK element pointing to the RSS file. Please make any comments you have, and I'll rework the patch accordingly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2003-04-18 18:43 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 Andrew, to get the url for the archived message use mlist.GetBaseArchiveURL(), which knows about private vs. public archives, the host name and the list name. From there you should be able to tack on just the part of the path under "archives/private/listname". See Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py for an example. Only other minor comment: NUM_ARTICLES can probably go in Defaults.py.in ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Justin Mason (jmason) Date: 2003-03-26 16:49 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=935 big thumbs up from me too.

[Bug 1462755] [NEW] qrunner crashes on invalid unicode sequence
by Thijs Kinkhorst Feb. 28, 2022

Feb. 28, 2022

Public bug reported: When a message contains an invalud unicode sequence in its header, qrunner flat out crashes on that: May 17 15:32:20 2015 (981) Uncaught runner exception: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 18: invalid continuation byte May 17 15:32:20 2015 (981) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 119, in _oneloop self._onefile(msg, msgdata) File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 190, in _onefile keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py", line 130, in _dispose more = self._dopipeline(mlist, msg, msgdata, pipeline) File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py", line 153, in _dopipeline sys.modules[modname].process(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/CookHeaders.py", line 239, in process i18ndesc = uheader(mlist, mlist.description, 'List-Id', maxlinelen=998) File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/CookHeaders.py", line 65, in uheader return Header(s, charset, maxlinelen, header_name, continuation_ws) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/email/header.py", line 183, in __init__ self.append(s, charset, errors) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/email/header.py", line 267, in append ustr = unicode(s, incodec, errors) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 18: invalid continuation byte May 17 15:32:20 2015 (981) SHUNTING: 1431869540.389822+156779307d54473d0eb732994bb67eee95733285 A solution for this specific case is to have Mailman/Handlers/CookHeaders.py pass the erorrs='replace' parameter. I would say that this is actually a bug in python-email, since I think it doesn't make sense to set errors to "strict" rather than something like "replace" when the intention is to parse stuff so free-formed, under-specd and user-controlled as email. Nonetheless, Mailman already sets errors='replace' in some places so it might aswell add it here. ** 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/1462755 Title: qrunner crashes on invalid unicode sequence To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1462755/+subscriptions

[Bug 544477] [NEW] setting localhost in postfix_lmtp breaks delivery
by Patrick Ben Koetter Sept. 26, 2020

Sept. 26, 2020

Public bug reported: Setting localhost in postfix_lmtp works against Postfix defaults and breaks delivery. Reason: The Postfix lmtp client only uses dns queries by default to search for hostnames. If the DNS server does not provide an answer for "localhost" delivery from the lmtp client to mailman fails. Solution: Provide "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost". This does not require DNS and is even faster because it saves DNS lookups. Example: hey2(a)mailman.state-of-mind.de lmtp:[localhost.localdomain]:8024 ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: 3.0 mailman -- setting localhost in postfix_lmtp breaks delivery https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/544477 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.

[Bug 1731604] [NEW] VERP fails if the recipient address local part is quoted.
by Mark Sapiro April 13, 2020

April 13, 2020

Public bug reported: We have seen (very rarely) cases where a recipient address has a quoted local part such as "jr."@example.org. This results in a VERPed sender address like list-bounces+"jr."=example.org(a)example.com which is syntactically invalid. The VERPed sender should be "list- bounces+jr.=example.org"@example.com in this case. I.e., the entire VERPed sender local part should be quoted, not just the recipient local part. This also requires BounceRunner to recognize this and restore the original local part. ** 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/1731604 Title: VERP fails if the recipient address local part is quoted.

[Bug 1838866] [NEW] Mailman 2.1: hardcoded site-packages dir prefix doesn't work on some 64 bit filesystem layouts
by Hanno Böck March 7, 2020

March 7, 2020

Public bug reported: Mailman's paths.py.in contains code to add the python site-packages dir to the path. This uses a hardcoded "lib" prefix: # Include Python's site-packages directory. sitedir = os.path.join(sys.prefix, 'lib', 'python'+sys.version[:3], 'site-packages') sys.path.append(sitedir) On 64 bit systems this is usually lib64 and some distros started removing the compatibility symlink lib->lib64 and split up lib and lib64 (e.g. latest Gentoo profiles). So relying on "lib" as a prefix is not compatible any more. Python has a function getsitepackages in the site module and I believe it's best to rely on python knowing best where its directories are. It returns an array, so this would look like this: sitedirs = site.getsitepackages() for sitedir in sitedirs: sys.path.append(sitedir) Patch attached, please apply. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "fix sitedir path on 64 bit filesystem layouts" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1838866/+attachment/5280705/+files/mailman-… -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1838866 Title: Mailman 2.1: hardcoded site-packages dir prefix doesn't work on some 64 bit filesystem layouts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1838866/+subscriptions

[Bug 1818205] [NEW] qrunner --runners=All blocks one CPU core
by Michael Lutonsky Jan. 11, 2020

Jan. 11, 2020

Public bug reported: When runner qrunner with --runners=All it calls all defined runners in an endless loop[1]. Most of the time the runners have nothing to do and quickly reach the point where they shut down again[2]. Note that this happens before they sleep in self._snooze(), which is intended to prevent a busy-loop. After that, the runners get started again without delay, in an endless loop, eating up a CPU core. As far as I know this should happen in any mailman2.1 setup when using qrunner with --runners=All.
