patch for using Bouncers/Catchall.py with Python 2.2.1
by Roy Bixler May 10, 2002

May 10, 2002

I just upgraded from Mailman v. 1.1 to v. 2.0.10 combined with a Python upgrade from v. 1.5.2 to v. 2.2.1. Mostly things went OK but I hit a snag when I found that the Mailman/Bouncers/Catchall.py file refers to the old regex and regsub modules and my Python v. 2.2.1 build doesn't define those. So, just in case anyone is interested, my patch below converts Mailman/Bouncers/Catchall.py to use the re module in place of regex and regsub. The patch has been lightly tested and seems to work.

[ mailman-Bugs-554345 ] New Feature: Support no web access

Bugs item #554345, was opened at 2002-05-10 02:12 You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=554345&group_id… Category: Web/CGI Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Julian Orbach (julian_orbach) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: New Feature: Support no web access Initial Comment: Our Mailman 2.0 server is behind a firewall. 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=554345&group_id…

Another broken message
by Ron Jarrell May 10, 2002

May 10, 2002

Ok, I got another instance (that makes 5 I've seen now) of mailman sticking the headers into the body of the note.. There were extremely abbreviated headers, a blank line, a mangled header, and then the rest of the headers in the body of the note. The body starts: <20020509170855.SJAK2855.mtiwmhc25.worldnet.att.net(a)webmail.worldnet.att.net> for <yeager-l(a)lists.vtsffc.org>; Thu, 9 May 2002 17:08:55 +0000 Received: from [12.91.124.228] by webmail.worldnet.att.net; Thu, 09 May 2002 17:08:55 +0000 Barry, having seen several examples now, it looks like something in the header code every so often dumps a null line into the output while building the message, thus causing the rest of the headers to look like they're in the body...

[ mailman-Bugs-554290 ] request: invite text and message subject

I would like to be able to invite people and include a custome text message (as on yahoogroups). That way I can invite them and remind them "I am inviting you to join this list because you gave me your email address at the conference and you said you might be interested." 2. The subject line of the invitation makes it look a lot like spam. I would make it something like: Subject: Invitation to join LISTNAME@HOSTNAME - confirm I have see this done where it is padded with spaces so that the ugly confirmation code will not appear in the window of most email readers, the invitee doesn't really need to sent it anyway. The link is awesome thought. Thanks for adding this. --chris ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=554290&group_id…

I just wanted it to be in the bug log that this needs to be fixed for all of those people.

Sadly, less than a third of the lists I'm subscribed to have RFC 2369 headers.

Putting teeth in VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW
by Bob Weissman May 8, 2002

May 8, 2002

The VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW in Mailman 2.0.10 doesn't do what I want. I need to hide lists on a virtual host masquerading as a subdomain. That is, I don't want lists on internal.foo.org to be visible in the listinfo for foo.org. Currently, they are. May I propose a modification? Currently, VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW is either 0 or 1. I'd like to set it to 2 to indicate an exact virtual host name match must be performed, rather than a substring check. Something like the following. Thanks for your consideration, - Bob *** Defaults.py.orig Wed May 8 10:25:03 2002 --- Defaults.py Wed May 8 11:52:18 2002 *************** *** 230,235 **** --- 230,239 ---- # included within the URL by which the page is visited - only those "on the # virtual host". If unset, then all lists are included in the overview. The # admin page overview always includes all the lists. + # + # If set to 2, the match must be an exact virtual host match. That is, + # lists from private.foo.com will not be displayed on the overview + # for foo.com. (They will be displayed there if this is set to 1.) VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = 1 DEFAULT_FILTER_PROG = '' # Currently not used! *************** *** Cgi/listinfo.py.orig Wed May 8 10:25:03 2002 --- Cgi/listinfo.py Wed May 8 11:52:18 2002 *************** *** 22,27 **** --- 22,28 ---- import os import cgi import string + from urlparse import urlparse from Mailman import mm_cfg from Mailman import Utils *************** *** 83,96 **** for n in names: mlist = MailList.MailList(n, lock=0) if mlist.advertised: ! if mm_cfg.VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW and \ ! http_host and \ string.find(http_host, mlist.web_page_url) == -1 and \ string.find(mlist.web_page_url, http_host) == -1: ! # List is for different identity of this host - skip it. ! continue ! else: ! advertised.append(mlist) if error: greeting = FontAttr(error, color="ff5060", size="+1") --- 84,105 ---- for n in names: mlist = MailList.MailList(n, lock=0) if mlist.advertised: ! if mm_cfg.VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW: ! if mm_cfg.VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW == 2: # Want an exact match ! # extract the host part of the url ! host_part = urlparse(mlist.web_page_url)[1] ! # remove the port, if any ! host_part = string.split(host_part, ":")[0] ! if http_host and host_part != http_host: ! # List is for different vhost - skip it. ! continue ! else: # Want a simple containment match ! if http_host and \ string.find(http_host, mlist.web_page_url) == -1 and \ string.find(mlist.web_page_url, http_host) == -1: ! # List is for different identity of this host - skip it. ! continue ! advertised.append(mlist) if error: greeting = FontAttr(error, color="ff5060", size="+1")

Changing version numbers
by Terri Oda May 8, 2002

May 8, 2002

Just noticed this upgrading an installation from 2.0.8 to 2.0.10... why doesn't Version.py get overwritten by the new installation? I'm guessing that it's just in case you've got some freaky version system of your own worked out, but it seems a little strange to look at a new installation and discover that the old version number is among the preserved settings. I just copied over the new file and compiled it. Was there something more elaborate I was supposed to do? And where was I told to do it? :)
