[Bug 557750] [NEW] Mailman should honor X-Approve and X-Approved

Public bug reported:
From mailman-users:
It appears that while the Approved: header is standard in Usenet for posting to moderated groups, it's use for email and email lists has never been standardized (RFC 2076, Sec 3.4). Thus, your point is well taken. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Assignee: Barry Warsaw (barry) Status: Confirmed ** Affects: mailman/2.1 Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Affects: mailman/3.0 Importance: Undecided Assignee: Barry Warsaw (barry) Status: Confirmed ** Also affects: mailman/2.1 Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: mailman/3.0 Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: mailman/2.1 Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: mailman/3.0 Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: mailman/3.0 Assignee: (unassigned) => Barry Warsaw (barry) ** Changed in: mailman/3.0 Milestone: None => 3.0.0a6 -- Mailman should honor X-Approve and X-Approved https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557750 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.

Original thread: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman- users/2010-April/069232.html For backward compatibility I would support both Approved: and X-Approved: headers. Just in case so that after an upgrade the Approved: header is not shared with the whole mailing-list (exposing your password). The documentation could indicate X-Approved: as being supported and deprecate the usage of Approved: ? -- Mailman should honor X-Approve and X-Approved https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557750 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.

Sorry, I was time constrained when I submitted the bug. Yes, absolutely we should continue to support the old headers. I don't think we need to deprecate them though. -- Mailman should honor X-Approve and X-Approved https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557750 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.
