Mailman 3 May 2002 - Mailman-Developers

A couple of bugs ...

Folks: I finally figured out what was causing my database error, a patch I had applied modified the version field in the database and was causing Mailman to not perform the necessary updates to the files. After I got past that, I started playing around with it in earnest... and noticed something... I ran the config_list command on a newly created list and got the following error ... [root@linux z]# ../bin/config_list -o testlist.txt testlist Traceback (most recent call last): File "../bin/config_list", line 268, in ? main() File "../bin/config_list", line 261, in main do_output(listname, outfile) File "../bin/config_list", line 113, in do_output do_list_categories(mlist, k, None, outfp) File "../bin/config_list", line 162, in do_list_categories lines = value.replace('\r', '').split('\n') AttributeError: replace Suggstions? david

Approvals does not working
by Danny Terweij May 12, 2002

May 12, 2002

Hi, I have now several weeks mailman 2.1b1/2 running. I did asked it before, so here the question again : None of the lists and list owners/moderators and even me as site owner can not approve the messages staying at the Pending moderator requests. When you doing a accept or anything else and then "Submit all changes" it is doing nothing with the moderated mesages. After pressed the button is is in previous state. It is going bigger and bigger and de list-owners are complaining. No error found at the logfiles. If you can not believe it? personal mail me then you get the moderator password of my test list and see it your self. Even on some lists, not all lists, the list-owner can not a member changing at the membership options. So a list-owner/moderator can not unsub/nomail/and other options to be set or unset. Also here.. when pressing the button "Submit all changes" nothing happens. No error at the logfiles. So i have a trick found for list-owners to set users on nomail. Open the browser to : http://domain.com/mailman/admin/testlist Log in with the list-owner password. Then change the URL to : http://domain.com/mailman/listinfo/testlist (Not opening a new browser window, just stay in the same (for the cookie)) Fill in the members email-adres you want to set on nomail at: *********** To unsubscribe from testlist, get a password reminder, or change your subscription options enter your subscription email address: [ a.member(a)domain.com ] {unsubscribe or edit options} *********** Now press the button and you see the options (ALL!) for the member. Set the delivery to Disabled and "submit changed data". And the member is set to nomail by the list-owner. Oh, and even all the other options can be set! Greetings, Danny Terweij

Some groups of users are entirely within the firewall, and they can use the web interface to unsubscribe, etc. Mailman can handle these lists fine. Other lists include some users inside the firewall, and some users outside the firewall. On these lists, I do not want the URL to the web interface to be published, as it will not be accessible for many users. I only want to publish instructions on how to edit options through the mail interface (or perhaps through another web interface in our DMZ which translates the requests to SMTP requests). However, the standard messages that get sent to subscribing users includes a reference to that URL. I would like to control this on a per list basis. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2002-05-12 02:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 You can in MM2.1, if you have shell access to the Mailman installation.

Updated dupe removal patch
by Marc MERLIN May 12, 2002

May 12, 2002

It took all of my sunday, but I just finished porting Ben Gertzfield's excellent dupe removal patch to mailman cvs (I also had to learn some python in the process. I'm starting to believe that Mailman is a conspiracy to get people to learn python :-p) In a nutshell, the patch does two things: 1) it does not send you your list copy if - your subscribed Email address is already in the headers - you already received the message through another list (Cc accross two lists or more on the same site) 2) The new "nodupes" setting is really something you probably want as a default on all lists. I also had lists were people wanted notmetoo as a default too. Ben's fix for that is to have a bitfield per list that you can set and that states which options newly added users get. As Ben said, this breaks the one patch one functionality rule, but when I ported his work to mailman-cvs, I realized that it didn't make sense to take them apart. However, Barry, if that would stop you from merging #1 in CVS, I could remove it, but I'm not sure why one would want to. I've done reasonable tests to make sure I didn't break all of mailman in the process, and the core logic hasn't changed, so the basic functionality is the same that Ben had written and that has been used for 6-9mo? on the debian lists now. In other words, it should work (it does for me, and I'm already running it on my production mailman-cvs list server), but there is always the chance that there might be a corner case buglet left somewhere. Considering this was a pain to port, and how this puts to rest many of the reply-to munging discussions (the only real argument for reply-to munging is that it "solves" the duplicate mails you other receive when people use reply to all), I'm hoping that this could make it in (wink, wink :-D) Thanks, Marc -- Microsoft is to operating systems & security .... .... what McDonalds is to gourmet cooking Home page: http://marc.merlins.org/ | Finger marc_f(a)merlins.org for PGP key

Hello, when tracking down a problem with the French translation I think I found a problem in the original message string #: Mailman/Gui/Privacy.py:223 msgid "" "Text to include in any\n" " <a href=\"?VARHELP/privacy/sender/member_moderation_action\"\n" " >rejection notice</a> to\n" " be sent to moderated members who post to this list." shouldn't the URL be ?VARHELP=privacy/sender/member_moderation_action ^^^ Regards, Michael

[ mailman-Bugs-553385 ] Translation strings
by noreply＠sourceforge.net May 10, 2002

May 10, 2002

Bugs item #553385, was opened at 2002-05-07 20:45 You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=553385&group_id… Category: Web/CGI Group: 2.1 beta Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Daniel Buchmann (avalon) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Translation strings Initial Comment: #: Mailman/Gui/ContentFilter.py:38 Minor typo; the entry reads: "Policies concerning concerning the content [...]" #: Mailman/Commands/cmd_set.py:186 msgid " %(status)s (%(how)s on %(date)s)" I'm not sure I fully understand what this is. status = delivery status? (disabled/enabled?) how = how it was disabled? date = the date it happened? How is the date written here? In english? According to the user's language setting? According to the locale? I believe this information is needed for many languages, to be able to translate this entry in the correct way... #: Mailman/Commands/cmd_set.py None of the commands should be translated, right? Should the various "set options" be translated? (e.g. 'ack', 'delivery', 'digest', etc.) If yes, then the output of the "set help" command would give the users a translated explanation to english commands. When they do "set show", the various options will also be translated, but english commands must be sent to the <listname>-request address, right? It is also currently not possible to translate the 'digest' option (there is no catalog entry for it). And why does the 'delivery' option have its own entries, when all the others have entries like this: "ack %(onoff)s" ? If no, then several cmd_set.py entries could probably be removed from the catalog, or they must be left blank so they default to their english value. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Simone Piunno (pioppo) Date: 2002-05-10 21:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=227443 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=553385&group_id…

Approved header option
by Kory Wheatley May 10, 2002

May 10, 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.

Did you generate this patch > because you saw those messages, or things were broken for you? I generated the patch because of the following: Python 2.2.1 (#10, May 3 2002, 17:45:45) [GCC 3.0.3] on sunos5 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import regex Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named regex >>> import re >>> Python was compiled from source on a Solaris 8 machine. Since re is more modern, I thought I would try to patch Mailman rather than try to figure out why regex wasn't included in the Python build. -- Roy Bixler The University of Chicago Press rcb(a)ucp.uchicago.edu
