Category: (un)subscribing Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Stephan Berndts (berndts) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Subscribing via e-mail fails. Initial Comment: Hi, when I try to subscribe to a mailing list by sending an e-mail to listname-join@listserver this fails with the following error: May 13 13:08:54 2008 (14270) Uncaught runner exception: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lower' May 13 13:08:54 2008 (14270) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/srv/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 114, in _oneloop self._onefile(msg, msgdata) File "/srv/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 185, in _onefile keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/srv/mailman/Mailman/Queue/CommandRunner.py", line 241, in _dispose res.do_command('join') File "/srv/mailman/Mailman/Queue/CommandRunner.py", line 139, in do_command return handler.process(self, args) File "/srv/mailman/Mailman/Commands/cmd_subscribe.py", line 74, in process if digest is None and password.lower() in ('digest', 'nodigest'): AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lower' May 13 13:08:54 2008 (14270) SHUNTING: 1210676933.788779+8f3f3d5d13ba53d21c00b3731faff2259213e4bf M The error arises as cmd_subscribe.py assumes that the variable "password" is not empty (at line 74) which is not true if neither a password nor an option in {digest,nodigest} was passed as a command-line argument. A patch resolving the error is attached. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1966837&group_id=103
