Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Linda Betts (llbetts) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: non-member post failuer

Initial Comment: Running Mailman 2.1.5 on Red Hat Linux 3. Have list configured to discard posts from non-members. Non-member sent in auto reply containing my address has changed information that actually came from the new address which was not registered. List server sent this auto-reply from non-member to the list. Can't find similar problem reported or bug fix. Output list configuration, pertinent info below: # legal values are: # 0 = "Accept" # 1 = "Hold" # 2 = "Reject" # 3 = "Discard" generic_nonmember_action = 3 Please advise. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Is there anything in accept_these_nonmembers? What is generic_nonmember_action? If one or the other of these settings don't explain the issue, then I'm afraid that without specific information as to the headers of the post as received by Mailman and specific list configuration information, we aren't going to be able to understand what happened or if there is a bug involved. In any case, I am moving this from 'patches' to 'bugs' for the interim as it clearly isn't a patch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Linda Betts (llbetts) Date: 2006-03-13 15:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1063268 Although I agree with the comments that if any of the headers contains the real members email address it will be processed as a member, the real member is moderated and all posts from moderated members are configured to be discarded. Therefore, in this configuration it should not matter who sent the reply. Only the list owner is allowed to send messages to the list and the reply should have been discarded. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2006-03-13 13:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 In a default installation, post will be determined to be from a list member if the envelope sender or any of the From:, Reply-To: or Sender: headers contain a member address. You could send an off list message to the old address and inspect the returned message to see if Return-Path: (the envelope sender), From:, Reply-To: or Sender: contain the old address. If so, accepting this would be expected behavior. Note that in a situation like this, it may be preferable to discuss the issue on mailman-users@python.org before submitting a bug report. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1449048&group_id=103
