Category: mail delivery Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Ulrik Haugen (ulrik_haugen) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: no delivery to lists "wrong" footer characters Initial Comment: Mailman 2.1.8: I recently had a problem with list administrators changing the footer to something containing characters that do not fit the default language for the list. (Actually it was the result of an upgrade but it can be reproduced more easily this way.) This resulted in letters to these lists going to the archive but not beeing distributed to list members. After some investigation i discovered that they were instead getting sent to the shunt directory with the following error message in logs/error: Jun 15 16:40:26 2006 (11718) Uncaught runner exception: ASCII decoding error: ordinal not in range(128) Jun 15 16:40:26 2006 (11718) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/service/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 111, in _oneloop self._onefile(msg, msgdata) File "/service/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 167, in _onefile keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/service/mailman/Mailman/Queue/OutgoingRunner.py", line 73, in _dispose self._func(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/service/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py", line 132, in process Decorate.process(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/service/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Decorate.py", line 99, in process ufooter = unicode(footer, lcset) UnicodeError: ASCII decoding error: ordinal not in range(128) Jun 15 16:40:26 2006 (11718) SHUNTING: 1150382425.6505611+4f10f0ef8067c96952336a07919d018adc6a9979 I think this is a very bad idea as it results in the list administrator complaining to me as site administrator about letters not being delivered instead of (for instance) the list members complaing to the list administrator about unreadable characters in the footer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1507248&group_id=103
