Auto response on -admin and -owner addresses [Mailman
by Donal Hunt May 18, 2002

May 18, 2002

Hey there... This doesn't seem to be working at present on my box... I've set the relevant option in the lists web interface but when someone sends mail to -owner or -admin, the sender doesn't get an auto-response back... The list owner/admin gets the mail just fine though... I'm using a fairly recent of Mailman CVS and had a quick look through the check-ins/bug reports and didn't see anything relevant. If it's just me I'll upgrade to latest CVS and see if that fixes it. :-) Regards Donal

Hmm... More on header mangling...
by Ron Jarrell May 18, 2002

May 18, 2002

In-ter-esting. Got a note that was sent to a yahoogroup, and to one of my mailman lists simultaneously. Mailman did the "mangle the header line prematurely ending the headers" trick to it. But for once I can see what the header looked like originally! In the yahoo group note it came out as: X-Face: 34C9$Ewd2zeX+\!i1BA\j{ex+$/V'JBG#;3_noWWYPa"|,I#`R"{n@w>#:{)FXyiAS7(8t( ^*w5O*!8O9YTe[r{e%7(yVRb|qxsRYw`7J!`AM}m_SHaj}f8eb@d^L>BrX7iO[<!v4-0bVIpaxF#-) %9#a9h6JXI|T|8o6t\V?kGl]Q!1V]GtNliUtz:3},0"hkPeBuu%E,j(:\iOX-P,t7lRR# In my list I got X-Face: 34C9$Ewd2zeX+\!i1BA\j{ex+$/V'JBG#; 3_noWWYPa"|,I#`R"{n@w>#:{)FXyiAS7(8t( ^*w5O*!8O9YTe[r{e%7(yVRb|qxsRYw`7J!`AM}m_SHaj}f8eb@d^L>BrX7iO[<!v4-0bVIpaxF#-) %9#a9h6JXI|T|8o6t\V?kGl]Q!1V]GtNliUtz:3},0"hkPeBuu%E,j(:\iOX-P,t7lRR# That indenting looks like what the pickling process does to things. I'm wondering now if three line continued headers are breaking the header processor.. I ran a test message with that header through a test list, and sure enough, mailman rewrapped and mangled that header in my test message, consistently!

Bug between mailman 2.0/2.1 and outlook reference field.
by Marc MERLIN May 18, 2002

May 18, 2002

Ok, so the problem is that outlook generates reference headers like this: References: <F83CnzNwRC6HixqDCZx0000127b(a)hotmail.com><004001c1fe06$3f5be350$a3c5e80c@MoeA> <011c01c1fe07$6d8edd30$647ba8c0@C1912731A> Note that there is no space between the first and second items. I haven't checked in the RFCs, but I'm fairly sure it's invalid. Unfortunately, mailman kind of chockes on it.

Approved header option
by Kory Wheatley May 17, 2002

May 17, 2002

In mailman 2.1b.1 How do you use the Approved:password to send your message to a moderated list. I'm the owner and I have the Emergency Moderation turned on and I what to send my message through. I don't want to use the Pending Administrative requests web interface to do this. I know in majordomo you can do this by adding "Approved:password" to the email message and sending it back through. How is this done in Mailman. -- ######################################### Kory Wheatley Academic Computing Analyst Sr. Phone 282-3874 ######################################### Everything must point to him.

GLOBAL_PIPELINE
by Donal Hunt May 17, 2002

May 17, 2002

Quick question... Looking at the end of the pipeline, the last three processes are 'AfterDelivery', 'Acknowledge', and 'ToOutgoing'. From reading the comments in the 'AfterDelivery' and 'Acknowledge' source files I would have thought they should come after 'ToOutgoing'. Am i missing something in my logic?? Also should there be a "," after the 'ToOutgoing' entry below?? (just noticed that now). On a related note - I'm using a modified version of Personalize.py but I'm not too sure about where in the pipeline I should add it. Suggestions? All it does it split up the delivery so each envelope contains an email for exactly one subscriber. Thanks in advance Donal DCU ----- GLOBAL_PIPELINE = [ # These are the modules that do tasks common to all delivery paths. 'SpamDetect', 'Approve', 'Replybot', 'Moderate', 'MimeDel', 'Hold', 'Emergency', 'Tagger', 'CalcRecips', 'AvoidDuplicates', 'Cleanse', 'CookHeaders', # And now we send the message to the digest mbox file, and to the arch and # news queues. Runners will provide further processing of the message, # specific to those delivery paths. 'ToDigest', 'ToArchive', 'ToUsenet', # Now we'll do a few extra things specific to the member delivery # (outgoing) path, finally leaving the message in the outgoing queue. 'AfterDelivery', 'Acknowledge', 'ToOutgoing', ]

Web Interface
by Donal Hunt May 17, 2002

May 17, 2002

I'm messing about with adding extra tabs to the admin pages, but running into some trouble... I've created a file in the $prefix/Mailman/Gui/ directory - lets call it NewTab.py... I also added the class name (defined in NewTab.py) to mm_cfg.py (copying the default setting from Defaults.py). However I think i've missed a link somewhere when reading through the source as things aren't working as expected. Do I need to define anything else / create other files?? Thanks again Donal
