[Bug 544477] [NEW] setting localhost in postfix_lmtp breaks delivery

by Patrick Ben Koetter

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

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

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 1810098] [NEW] Some security log messages have missing or incorrect information

by Mark Sapiro

Public bug reported: Various failed authentications are reported in the security log, but there are issues: 'options' identifies itself as 'private'. 'roster' doesn't report the user if available. 'create' and 'rmlist' don't log authentication failures. ** 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/1810098 Title: Some security log messages have missing or incorrect information To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1810098/+subscriptions

[Bug 1818205] [NEW] qrunner --runners=All blocks one CPU core

by Michael Lutonsky

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.

[Bug 1785854] [NEW] TypeError from confirm CGI.

by Mark Sapiro

Public bug reported: We have seen some massive, robotic subscribes and confirmations. In rare cases a TypeError can be thrown. This occurs because in processing, the CGI script retrieves the pending entry more than once. If the initial retrieval returns None, an appropriate message is returned, but if two clients confirm the same token at the same time, both initial retrievals may succeed, but then subsequent processing locks the list and retrieves the data again. The first client to get there processes the confirmation which removes the token. Then when the list is unlocked, the second client gets None for the pending data and throws TypeError when retrieving things from None. ** 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/1785854 Title: TypeError from confirm CGI.

[Bug 1805137] [NEW] Bounces sent from opensmtpd not parsed

by Cristiano de Paula Costa

Public bug reported: Hi, We have updated our external MTA to use OpenBSD(6.4) and opensmptd. After we updated, mailman started to send "bounce message w/no discernable addresses" messages to us (list admins). It seems that mailman is not able to parse bounce messages sent from opensmtpd. Please check an example of a bounce message from opensmtpd: Hi! This is the MAILER-DAEMON, please DO NOT REPLY to this email. An error has occurred while attempting to deliver a message for the following list of recipients: XXXXXXXXX(a)live.com: 550 5.5.0 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable. [VE1EUR02FT047.eop-EUR02.prod.protection.outlook.com] Below is a copy of the original message: We are using mailman 2.1.11 and I could not test the issue on version 2.1.17. But, reading the code, it seem that the problem is still there. We managed to fix the problem by editing the file 'mailman/Mailman/Bouncers/SimpleMatch.py' and including the following lines: 191,194d190 < # opensmtpd < (_c('An error has occurred while attempting to deliver a message for'), < _c('Below is a copy of the original message'), < _c('^\s*(?P<addr>[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+)')), patch follows attached Regards, Cristiano ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Patch added: "SimpleMatch.py.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1805137/+attachment/5216458/+files/SimpleMa… -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1805137 Title: Bounces sent from opensmtpd not parsed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1805137/+subscriptions

[Bug 1831321] [NEW] the List-Id field is filled without < and > around the list-id if the description contains unsupported characters

by Florian Schlegel

Public bug reported: According to rfc2919 the List-Id field should be formated like this: list-id-header = "List-ID:" [phrase] "<" list-id ">" CRLF This works as long as description is left blank or contains supported characters. In my case the description was as follows: �ffentliche Supportliste As you can see the umlaut "Ö" got broken while importing the list from an old server. Unfortunately I don't know how the import was done. The field is still present but < and > around the list-id are missing. This is problematic with procmail and other mail filters. ** 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/1831321 Title: the List-Id field is filled without < and > around the list-id if the description contains unsupported characters To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1831321/+subscriptions
