[Bug 1170726] [NEW] The LMTP server needs to check acceptable aliases
Public bug reported: The LMTP server currently does a sanity check on the To field of the incoming message, to ensure that it is addressed to a valid mailing list. This check ignores acceptable aliases, but it should honor them. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: mailman3 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1170726 Title: The LMTP server needs to check acceptable aliases To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1170726/+subscriptions
Does "the To field of the incoming message" mean the RCPT TO argument of the LMTP session? Or the "To:" header of the message. I think it should mean the former, since the latter needn't be related at all, if the list permits BCC. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1170726 Title: The LMTP server needs to check acceptable aliases To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1170726/+subscriptions
BCC is the whole point of this bug. If a list requires 'explicit destination', the list address or an acceptable alias must be in the To: or Cc: headers of the message. The bug says acceptable aliases aren't checked and it means against the To: or Cc: headers. Checking against the envelope recipient is irrelevant since if the list weren't the envelope recipient of the message, the list's chain wouldn't be seeing the message in the first place. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1170726 Title: The LMTP server needs to check acceptable aliases To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1170726/+subscriptions
