adding to list without confirmation
by Ziad Sidawi 29 Dec '02

29 Dec '02

Dear developers, I would like to keep the confirmation part when someone subscribe thru email. However, is there a way where a special email can be send to the Mailman where confirmation of the user is not required? let me explain: I have a shopping cart program, and when a user completes his order, I want to issue an email to subscribe this user to the mailing list without having the mailing list sending the user an email to confirm. On the same hand, I do not want to disable the functionality of confirmation if a user tries to subscribe to the mailing list. I have worked in the past with a mail list program, where emails with a [password] in the subject area, would be verified and if correct (pas for admin) then this email is treated as coming from the admin, and hence the user is registered without requiring confirmation email. Any ideas?

[ mailman-Bugs-659014 ] decoration problems with German lists

Bugs item #659014, was opened at 2002-12-27 14:25 You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=659014&group_i… Category: mail delivery Group: 2.1 beta Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jost Krieger (jkrieger) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: decoration problems with German lists Initial Comment: 1. German is one of the languages where the mapping to a acharacter set is currently ambiguous: If you want a Euro sign, you have to use iso-8859-15, most people still have iso-8859-1 and some have iso-8859-2 (which also contains all German glyphs). 2. People hat getting there mails in three text/plain parts (partly due to the deficiencies of their mail readers). 3. List owners tend to put plain ASCII into their header and footer files, but this doesn't help, unfortunately, as Mailman still thinks it *must* be iso-8859-1. 4. MIME RFCs recommend taking the lowest compatible charset. This sometimes leads to Mailman messages consisting of three ASCII parts. One longtime solution would be to upgrade everything to Unicode and downgrade it later on as far as possible. This sounds expensive, though. Another, cheaper possibility might be to attach a character set to haeders and footers.

This puts all recipients into the "To:" field, which has already lead to a privacy complaint at our site. Of course it's also a Really Bad Idea with large lists.

Patching 2.0.13 for eVote
by Marilyn Davis 27 Dec '02

27 Dec '02

Hi Mailman Developers, I'm trying to create a patch to 2.0.13 that makes eVote work. I'm afraid that I'm not experienced at making patches so I'm reading documentation and trying to figure out what to do. Clearly I should collect the 2.0.13 sources via CVS so I tried following the instructions at http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=103 but I can't make it work: > $ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@CVS.mailman.sourceforge.net:/CVSroot/mailman login > (Logging in to anonymous(a)CVS.mailman.sourceforge.net) > CVS password: > cvs login: authorization failed: server CVS.mailman.sourceforge.net rejected access Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. Also, if there is any documentation about this process that I should be studying, please point me there. Thank you for your help. Marilyn Davis
