bounce processing in 2.1CVS
by Dan Mick 29 Jan '02

29 Jan '02

I could be high, but it looks like the sequence in Bouncer.py is: 1) are we a member? No, return 2) do we have previous bounces? No, register it and quit 3) is the member disabled? yes, quit 4) is the bounce info from today? yes, quit 5) is the info stale? yes, clear it out 6) start looking for action It seems like 4) is pretty procrustean. If, for instance, I have a wad of bounces, and decide "screw it, if they get to one bounce, I want them gone" and change the bounce threshold, that's not going to take effect until tomorrow. And besides, that seems like a useful knob to turn (i.e. "how old does the bounce info have to be before I start looking for new ones"). I think maybe the threshold should be checked before the 'check against time', to handle changing thresholds, and that the 'time-to-reexamine' value should be a modifiable value (currently hardcoded 1 day). Comments?

More weird situations...
by Chuq Von Rospach 28 Jan '02

28 Jan '02

I've just run into yet another weird condition that mailman struggles with. This may sound silly, but.. I renamed a mailing list today. However, if you strictly follow the List-ID RFC (at least, as I read it), even though it's been renamed, the List-ID shouldn't change. Even though opentransportdev(a)lists.apple.com has become macprogdev(a)lists.apple.com, the List-ID should still be opentransportdev.lists.apple.com, since that's how it was defined in the global name space. Now, in practice, I think it's important for the list-ID to track the list name, but to be strictly compliant for those who want it that way, it seems there ought to be a way to explicitly set List-ID, which Mailman just can't do right now. This, obviously, is a showstopper for 2.1.... (snork).

Re: [Mailman-Developers] load balancing with mailman.

Exactly, but I'd rather avoid that. I don't like having special cases if it's avoidable. Special cases don't scale well. > You _can_ export ~mailman over NFS. The problem was that with Yes, but since the mailman machine lives outside the firewall, I'd *really* rather not run NFS, even if it is filtered at the router. Further, that means you've introduced a single dependency into your mail server setup, which rather defeats the purpose of having redundant mail receivers. > I think the NFS approach is the simplest by far :-) Yah, but ultimately suboptimal, I think... especially since the only reason it's the easiest is because of the lack of abstraction of the interfaces.

Once again, fame and fortune can be yours

A few years ago we ran a Mailman logo contest, had quite a few very good submissions, and eventually chose a logo by The Dragon De Monsyne. Now with the advent of favicons I'd like to run another mini-contest. I admit shameful jealousy in seeing more and more cool favicons in my Mozilla tabs, and I want one for Mailman too. Of course, I'm a musician[1] not an artist, so I need your help. I sort of think it ought to be a play on the circle in the cancellation mark logo. Maybe with the words "MAIL LIST" replaced with "Mailman" (bonus to get the "GNU" in there). But hey, feel free to ignore me as much as I ignore my lead singer when he suggests bass parts. :) I don't want to stiffle anyone's creativity! One caveat: please assign copyright to the FSF if we accept your logo. Enjoy, -Barry [1] Don't worry, you all will be forced to buy several copies of my new CD "The Mailman Never Delivers Twice" on my self-owned label Pumpichank Records, when it's released later this year. It'll include the sure-to-be-top-10 Mailman theme song, "Is That A Python In Your Pocket (Or Are You Just Glad To Hack Me)?".

MemberAdaptor.py [missing line?]
by Donal Hunt 27 Jan '02

27 Jan '02

MemberAdaptor.py [lines 119-124] def getMemberPassword(self, member): """Return the member's password. If the member KEY/LCE is not a member of the list, raise NotAMemberError. """ should there be a "raise NotImplemented" after the documentation stuff?? ie - is that the general rule to raise with any method in MemberAdaptor that we don't want implemented... Currently working on the LDAP authenticator and I don't want people to change their LDAP password with Mailman. :) Regards Donal --DCU--
