mailman does not work with exim and python 1.5.2

Hello! Mailman does not work with exim and python 1.5.2, probably because of the esmtp support in python 1.5.2's smtplib. Following is a trace from exim. Note that exim gets an ehlo and later a helo which resets it into smtp from esmtp. Please forward this to the appropriate python forums :) set_process_info: 15805 2.11 handling incoming connection from localhost [127.0.0.1] ready for new message smtp_setup_msg entered SMTP<< ehlo darmol.elte.hu sender_fullhost = localhost (darmol.elte.hu) [127.0.0.1] sender_rcvhost = localhost ([127.0.0.1] helo=darmol.elte.hu) set_process_info: 15805 2.11 handling incoming connection from localhost (darmol.elte.hu) [127.0.0.1] 250-darmol.elte.hu Hello localhost [127.0.0.1] 250-SIZE 2000000 250-PIPELINING 250 HELP SMTP<< helo darmol.elte.hu sender_fullhost = localhost (darmol.elte.hu) [127.0.0.1] sender_rcvhost = localhost ([127.0.0.1] helo=darmol.elte.hu) set_process_info: 15805 2.11 handling incoming connection from localhost (darmol.elte.hu) [127.0.0.1] 250 darmol.elte.hu Hello localhost [127.0.0.1] SMTP<< mail FROM:<teszt-admin(a)darmol.elte.hu> size=1335 LOG: 4 MAIN SMTP syntax error in "mail FROM:<teszt-admin(a)darmol.elte.hu> size=1335" H=localhost (darmol.elte.hu) [127.0.0.1]: malformed address: size=1335 may not follow <teszt-admin(a)darmol.elte.hu> 501 <teszt-admin(a)darmol.elte.hu> size=1335: malformed address: size=1335 may not follow <teszt-admin(a)darmol.elte.hu> SMTP<< rset 250 Reset OK 421 darmol.elte.hu lost input connection LOG: 4 MAIN SMTP connection from localhost (darmol.elte.hu) [127.0.0.1] lost child 15805 ended -- Madarasz Gergely gorgo(a)caesar.elte.hu gorgo(a)linux.rulez.org It's practically impossible to look at a penguin and feel angry.

Error/crash in admindb - Solved
by Brian Ryner 01 May '99

First of all, the bug I reported earlier happens if you access this URL: http://host/mailman/admindb/ <-- note trailing slash It tries to cause an "Invalid options to CGI script" error, but can't because of the typo in Mailman/Cgi/admindb.py, line 77: doc.AddItem(eader(2, "Invalid options to CGI script.")) where Header is misspelled. That fixed the crash. But I think that this URL (admindb/) should work just like admindb without the slash -- it should say that you must specify a list. -Brian Ryner bryner(a)uiuc.edu

Error/crash in admindb - 1.0b11

Hi- This crash happened when going to http://host/mailman/admindb. I have not been able to reproduce it since then. The error log is attached. The system is running Slackware 3.5, with Python 1.5.1. Any suggestions or patches? Also, is there a way that I can turn off the extraneous debugging information sent to the WWW client, and have it just be put in the log? The fact that it dumps so much information about the system could be seen as a security risk. Thanks. -Brian Ryner bryner(a)uiuc.edu Apr 29 22:33:41 1999 admin: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ admin: [----- Mailman Version: 1.0b11 -----] admin: [----- Traceback ------] admin: Traceback (innermost last): admin: File "/admin/mailman/scripts/driver", line 112, in run_main admin: main() admin: File "/admin/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admindb.py", line 77, in main admin: doc.AddItem(eader(2, "Invalid options to CGI script.")) admin: NameError: eader admin: [----- Environment Variables -----] admin: DOCUMENT_ROOT: /files/admin/httpd/htdocs admin: HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING: gzip, deflate admin: SERVER_PORT: 80 admin: PATH_TRANSLATED: /files/admin/httpd/htdocs/ admin: URL_COUNT: 6 admin: GATEWAY_INTERFACE: CGI/1.1 admin: HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE: en-us admin: HTTP_PROXY_CONNECTION: Keep-Alive admin: REMOTE_ADDR: xxx.yyy.zzz.xxx admin: SERVER_NAME: www.xxxxxxx.org admin: URL_COUNT_DB: /files/admin/httpd/logs/counters/ALL admin: HTTP_USER_AGENT: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows 95) admin: HTTP_ACCEPT: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/msword, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, */* admin: REQUEST_URI: /mailman/admindb/ admin: PATH: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin admin: QUERY_STRING: admin: SCRIPT_FILENAME: /files/admin/mailman/cgi-bin/admindb admin: PATH_INFO: / admin: HTTP_HOST: www.xxxxxxx.org admin: REQUEST_METHOD: GET admin: SERVER_SIGNATURE: admin: URL_COUNT_RESET: Thursday, 29-Apr-99 00:19:13 CDT admin: SCRIPT_NAME: /mailman/admindb admin: SERVER_ADMIN: admin(a)xxxxxx.org admin: SERVER_SOFTWARE: Apache/1.3.4 (Unix) admin: PYTHONPATH: /admin/mailman admin: SERVER_PROTOCOL: HTTP/1.0 admin: REMOTE_PORT: 6208
