Bugs item #880073, was opened at 2004-01-19 21:23 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by ber You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=880073&group_id=103 Category: None Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 6 Submitted By: Bernhard Reiter (ber) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: list-id might violate RFC2919 and RFC2822 Initial Comment: Code in http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mailman/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/CookHeaders.py?rev=2.33.2.5&view=markup (as shipped with mailman 2.1.4) will use formataddr for the List-Id: listid_h = formataddr((desc, listid)) This will violate the RFC2919, if not(desc), because the angle-brackets might be left out. 3. The List-Id Header Field The List-Id header MAY optionally include a description by including it as a "phrase" [DRUMS] before the angle-bracketed list identifier. The syntax of the List-Id header follows: list-id-header = "List-ID:" [phrase] "<" list-id ">" CRLF Unlike most headers in [RFC822], the List-Id header does not allow free insertion of whitespace and comments around tokens.

Solution: go back to old code and check http://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=103&atid=100103&file_id=57904&aid=665732 to limit the line length so you don't violate RFC2822 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=113859 Added a fix for the problem: [ 933762 ] fix for #880073 list-id can violate RFC2919 https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=933762&group_id=103&atid=300103 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bernhard Reiter (ber) Date: 2004-01-19 21:25 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=113859 I'm raising the priority to 6 because many people get annoyed if the List-ID headers change. Mailman 2.1.3 did better in the RFC2919 regard, 2.1.4 breaks it in an attempt to fix other bugs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=880073&group_id=103
