[ mailman-Patches-534577 ] Add SpamAssassin filter to mail pipeline

Patches item #534577, was opened at 2002-03-25 08:17 You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=534577&group_i… Category: list administration Group: Mailman 2.0.x Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: James Henstridge (jhenstridge) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Add SpamAssassin filter to mail pipeline Initial Comment: This filter adds support for discarding or holding spam sent to the mailing list. It contacts a spamd daemon (from SpamAssassin -- http://spamassassin.taint.org) to score the message. If the score is above a certain threshold (default 10), the message is discarded and an entry is written to the vette log. If the score is above another lower threshold (default 5), the message is held for moderation. The SpamAssassin.py file should be installed in Mailman/Handlers/. The LIST_PIPELINE variable in Mailman/Handlers/HandlerAPI.py should be modified to include a 'SpamAssassin' item (I put it just after the existing 'SpamDetect' item). To change the defaults, the following can be added to the mm_cfg.py file: SPAMASSASSIN_HOST = 'host:port' # how to contact SA SPAMASSASSIN_DISCARD_SCORE = 10 SPAMASSASSIN_HOLD_SCORE = 5 If you don't want to discard messages, then DISCARD_SCORE can be set to something very high (1000 should do it). It looks the MM2.1 filter APIs have changed a bit, so this filter will need some modifications to work with that version. When I get round to upgrading, I might look into updating it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sean Reifschneider (jafo) Date: 2002-07-09 21:16 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=81797 FYI, I ran the previous version since installation and it seemed to work fine. I didn't run into any problems, with probably 500 messages handled. I've updated to the new version and it seems ok so far, but I've only sent about 10 messages through. Sean ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: James Henstridge (jhenstridge) Date: 2002-07-03 04:02 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=146903 Yet another version. There were some bugs in handling of certain error conditions when talking to spamd. These would result in exceptions and the messages staying in the delivery queue :( With the new version, the message will be passed through unchecked under these conditions, and a message will be added to the error log. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sean Reifschneider (jafo) Date: 2002-06-12 21:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=81797 FYI: I've been running the 2002-05-14 version of this patch with spamassassin 2.20 for the last day on our main mailman box and it seems to be working great. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: James Henstridge (jhenstridge) Date: 2002-05-14 06:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=146903 This version is essentially the same as the previous version, but adds compatibility with python > 1.5.2, which doesn't like you passing two arguments to socket.connect(). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: James Henstridge (jhenstridge) Date: 2002-04-27 06:17 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=146903 Just attached my updated version of the patch. This version requires SpamAssassin 2.20 (for the extra commands that the spamd daemon understands). It now displays a list of which rules were triggered for held messages, and can give messages from list members a bonus (defaults to 2), so that they are less likely to get held as spam. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: James Henstridge (jhenstridge) Date: 2002-03-26 01:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=146903 There is a fairly easy optimisation for this filter that I missed when writing it. It calls str() on the message object twice. It would be quicker to call str() on the message once. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=534577&group_i…

I finally tracked down what the problem is, and hopefully someone more skilled in Python than I can create a simple fix. In the open_news function it doesn't check whether the mlist.nntp_host variable is valid or not (in my case it was a null string). A simple if check would solve the problem here, but I think that's addressing the symptom, not the problem. Rather I think the real problem is that the MailList class sets gateway_to_mail to "true" (I'm not sure what the real value is), even if the nntp host name is invalid. Then the process_lists function assumes that nntp_host is valid and calls open_newsgroup on it. I would suggest that if the nntp_host is invalid, that the MailList class not set gateway_to_mail to be "true". Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Steve Fox (drfickle) Date: 2002-07-09 15:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=17512 I forgot to mention that gateway_to_mail seems to be set "true" anytime the mail-to-news page contains any non-default values. That is, even if hostname and newsgroup are blank, but one or more of the radio buttons are set to yes, gate_to_mail will be "true". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=579285&group_i…

Mailman-cvs can't handle .info addresses?

I have someone who subscribed with a .info address to one of my lists, and I have VERP enabled.

[ mailman-Bugs-565917 ] mailmanctl bombs after unclean shutdown

Bugs item #565917, was opened at 2002-06-07 18:02 You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=565917&group_i… Category: command line scripts Group: 2.1 beta Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Dale Stimson (dstimson) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: mailmanctl bombs after unclean shutdown Initial Comment: Environment: Red Hat 7.3, latest errata, Mailman 2.1b2 I see that this problem still exists in the current CVS as of a day or two ago. When mailman restarts after having been shutdown uncleanly (e.g., when rebooting following a crash), it bombs leaving no qrunners active with the following in the log: Jun 04 18:05:13 2002 mailmanctl(1572): Traceback (most recent call last): Jun 04 18:05:13 2002 mailmanctl(1572): File "/var/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 502, in ?

It calls function get_lock_data to find the name of the old lock file that is to be deleted. Function get_lock_data (incorrectly) returns the file name with the directory part of the path stripped, thereby causing the delete to fail and the trap to occur. Function get_lock_data should instead return the entire file path, including directories. The patch given below corrects the behavior of get_lock_data. As an aside, it would be nice if acquire_lock_1 was more forgiving if the os.unlink calls fail due to "no such file". I have not submitted a patch for that as I don't know the appropriate python semantics. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: E. Viennet (anotong) Date: 2002-07-07 07:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=396722 I also observed this behavior. I did patch my mailman (mailmanctl, acquire_lock_1) by putting try/except pairs around each call to unlink(), but I'm not sure it's the correct fix. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Dale Stimson (dstimson) Date: 2002-06-07 18:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=559033 Please ignore uploaded file sf1.txt (it won't let me delete it), which has cruft in it (the problem report text), as opposed to just the patch). The file with just the patch is sf.txt. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=565917&group_i…

Initial Comment: I have a list antiatomforum(a)lists.kommunikationssystem.de and others with long names. It seems that mailman can not handle with such long names, because in the subscribe-mail (which you have to answer to be in the list) the first columns are some things from the header (unsubscribe: xxx(a)lists.xxx and so on). Whith names like atest(a)lists.kommunikationssystem.de it works. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jean Millerat (drsigmund) Date: 2002-07-04 10:13 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=70686 I have reached the same bug with mailing list adresses such as <11 characters>@<30 characters> whereas <8 characters>@<30 characters> works properly. The effect of this bug is that the headers of the subcription annoucement or any further email from the list are "mangled" as was said on [mailman-developers]. As an example when one of the List-* header line is too long, it is broken in two parts (and the second part is indented). Since then, Outlook (and I suppose other email clients) think this second part of the broken header line is the beginning of the body of the message. Therefore the remaining headers are sent as part of the body of the message ! I think this bug does not only occur with too long email adresses but may occur with too long header lines whichever line it is (even with the Subject line especially when this subject line is very long because of quoted-printable characters). See [mailman-developers] for the description of maybe the same bug, in mails dealing with headers being "mangled". My current workarounds : - using short mailing list names. - and not sending quoted-printable characters within subject lines. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Giovanni Lopedote (giuans) Date: 2002-05-02 16:27 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=531451 I've found it.

I already tried to upgrade from mailman-2.0.1 to mailman-2.0.5, but the multiple posting still exists. I have not fount anything regarding this problem in the faq's so i submit it here. Gert Jan Kruizinga. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2002-07-03 14:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 Since I haven't heard anything more about this, I'll assume an upgrade fixed your problem. Closing this bug report. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2002-04-28 18:07 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 Is this bug still a problem for you? If so, first, I would recommend upgrading to MM2.0.10. Second, I'd like to know what version of Python you're using, and also what MTA (and version) you're using. If this is not a problem any more, please follow up so I can close this bug. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: J. Ros (ros005) Date: 2002-01-14 09:35 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=414801 Yes, there are two different list admin accounts, but this is not the issue, as also regular users receive more than once. Most of the time I and all other users receive one copy of the mail, but sometimes this can be two, three or even four copies. It seems that mailman works fine most of the time, but sometimes it sends two (or more)copies of the same message. All types of message are affected, not only administrative messages of Mailman to the moderator or users, but also regular posts to members. I will include both message headers for a double message. Futhermore I will include the errors in the mailman log files for these messages.

Please include /all/ the original headers, as that's the only way to determine what's going on. My suspicion is that there are multiple qrunners running, and that they aren't getting locked out correctly for some reason. Clearly, we have not seen similar bugs for MM2.0.5 on {python,zope}.org, so I expect it to be a configuration problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Gert Jan Kruizinga (gjk4all) Date: 2001-05-29 10:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=222418 No, all the users of the list also get the `"your message awaits moderator approval" message twice. Btw i'm not the listadmin, only the server admin, my listadmin also complains that he gets the "messages awaiting moderator approval" message sometimes 2, 3 or even 4 times, but he submitted two email addresses of his own, so that can be explaind.

quite a few problems with current cvs
by Fil 03 Jul '02

03 Jul '02

Dear Mailman-dev, since I last upgraded I can't make mailman work as it used to! 1) Most importantly and urgently, the confirmation emails do not trigger subscriptions any more : the user receives her "You are subscribed" email, but she does not appear in the subscribers' roster, and her cookie is still there in data/pending.pck 2) A secondary issue is that the iso-something subject lines are totally broken ; I think this is related to the impossibility of installing email-2.0.4 on a python 2.1 box (the _compat22.py file fails and exit) but I'm not sure. What can I do to help track it down/ repair my system? -- Fil

Discard patch
by Alan Batie 03 Jul '02

03 Jul '02

I still think that a language that applies semantics to indentation is silly (though I can remember wishing for it a few times when I was learning programming ;-) ), but at least you guys have written good readable code, even for a non-python guy. Here's the patches to add "discard_nonmember_postings" as an option; it only has effect if member_posting_only is also set and the datafile version is revved to 22 to add it in automatically. I was trying to fix the fact that member_posting_only doesn't properly default, but it seems to be in RadioButtonArray and I can't find that anywhere, either in mailman or in python. Maybe it's cuz it's after 2am. Oh well. While I was looking at that, I saw a comment that said something like "i'd rather have Logout have a blank line in front of it instead of being a big font", so I fixed that too --- kindof a hack, but one I find works well all over the place. That's the second patch, FWIW... -- Alan Batie ______ www.rdrop.com/users/alan Me alan(a)batie.org \ / www.qrd.org The Triangle PGPFP DE 3C 29 17 C0 49 7A \ / www.pgpi.com The Weird Numbers 27 40 A5 3C 37 4A DA 52 B9 \/ razor.sourceforge.net NO SPAM!

[ mailman-Patches-534577 ] Add SpamAssassin filter to mail pipeline
by noreply＠sourceforge.net 03 Jul '02

03 Jul '02

Patches item #534577, was opened at 2002-03-25 16:17 You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=534577&group_i… Category: list administration Group: Mailman 2.0.x Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: James Henstridge (jhenstridge) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Add SpamAssassin filter to mail pipeline Initial Comment: This filter adds support for discarding or holding spam sent to the mailing list. It contacts a spamd daemon (from SpamAssassin -- http://spamassassin.taint.org) to score the message. If the score is above a certain threshold (default 10), the message is discarded and an entry is written to the vette log. If the score is above another lower threshold (default 5), the message is held for moderation. The SpamAssassin.py file should be installed in Mailman/Handlers/. The LIST_PIPELINE variable in Mailman/Handlers/HandlerAPI.py should be modified to include a 'SpamAssassin' item (I put it just after the existing 'SpamDetect' item). To change the defaults, the following can be added to the mm_cfg.py file: SPAMASSASSIN_HOST = 'host:port' # how to contact SA SPAMASSASSIN_DISCARD_SCORE = 10 SPAMASSASSIN_HOLD_SCORE = 5 If you don't want to discard messages, then DISCARD_SCORE can be set to something very high (1000 should do it). It looks the MM2.1 filter APIs have changed a bit, so this filter will need some modifications to work with that version. When I get round to upgrading, I might look into updating it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: James Henstridge (jhenstridge) Date: 2002-07-03 12:02 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=146903 Yet another version. There were some bugs in handling of certain error conditions when talking to spamd. These would result in exceptions and the messages staying in the delivery queue :( With the new version, the message will be passed through unchecked under these conditions, and a message will be added to the error log. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sean Reifschneider (jafo) Date: 2002-06-13 05:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=81797 FYI: I've been running the 2002-05-14 version of this patch with spamassassin 2.20 for the last day on our main mailman box and it seems to be working great. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: James Henstridge (jhenstridge) Date: 2002-05-14 14:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=146903 This version is essentially the same as the previous version, but adds compatibility with python > 1.5.2, which doesn't like you passing two arguments to socket.connect(). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: James Henstridge (jhenstridge) Date: 2002-04-27 14:17 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=146903 Just attached my updated version of the patch. This version requires SpamAssassin 2.20 (for the extra commands that the spamd daemon understands). It now displays a list of which rules were triggered for held messages, and can give messages from list members a bonus (defaults to 2), so that they are less likely to get held as spam. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: James Henstridge (jhenstridge) Date: 2002-03-26 09:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=146903 There is a fairly easy optimisation for this filter that I missed when writing it. It calls str() on the message object twice. It would be quicker to call str() on the message once. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=534577&group_i…

[ mailman-Bugs-229568 ] Pipermail won't resolve author names of aol.com addresses
by noreply＠sourceforge.net 02 Jul '02

02 Jul '02

Bugs item #229568, was opened at 2001-01-20 22:53 You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=229568&group_i… Category: Pipermail Group: None Status: Open Resolution: Works For Me Priority: 5 Submitted By: Aharon Varady (aharon) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Pipermail won't resolve author names of aol.com addresses Initial Comment: Pipermail does not resolve the "author" of emails sent from aol.com. Instead, Pipermail gives the email address of the listserve. For example: "John" <user(a)aol.com> is resolved by pipermail as: listname(a)foo.com and not as John. This bug only occurs for users of aol.com addresses. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Terri Oda (spot) Date: 2002-07-02 16:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=110886 Whoops. Diffed the wrong thing. That's what happens when I try to patch code but haven't slept in a few days. This actually works better: 180c180 < if e is not None: --- > if e is not None and self.email == "": ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Terri Oda (spot) Date: 2002-07-01 14:03 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=110886 The problem is that it defaults to using the reply-to address if it's set, and this isn't what we want when the reply-to is always being set by the list. Take a careful look at the rest of your archives and you'll probably note that *everyone's* email address is showing up as listname(a)foo.com. It's a nice anti-spam feature, perhaps, but probably not what you want. Here's a quick fix for pipermail.py: 180c180 < if e is not None: --- > if e is not None and self.email is None: This just changes it so that it defaults to the From: address (when it's set) rather than the Reply-to address. If there's some particular reason to take the Reply-To over the From, I can make something which actually checks to see if the reply-to is being set by the list, but this should solve your problem for the moment. Terri ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ava Jarvis (katanalynx) Date: 2002-06-10 22:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=561110 This bug -- for version 2.0.11 at least -- seems to occur when 'from' only contains the email address. There's some code in pipermail.py (version 2.0.11), line 177: <excerpt> # Figure out the e-mail address and poster's name self.author, self.email = message.getaddr('From') e = message.getheader('Reply-To') if e is not None: self.email = e self.email = strip_separators(self.email) self.author = strip_separators(self.author) if self.author == "": self.author = self.email </excerpt> If reply-to is set, then it is always taken as the author's email address. However, some lists set the reply-to field to be, for instance, the list address.... and you can guess what happens next when there is no name comment/author. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2002-06-06 12:09 Message: Logged In: NO This comment doesn't directly address the case you report, but it might be related so I thought it worthwhile to submit. I see you are using MM2.0.9. I saw a similar problem with MM2.1b1, which was fixed in MM2.1b2. The problem then was that an address with a name "comment" would be displayed in the archive as the list name, whereas an address with a name comment would be displayed (properly) with the name. Example: "John Doe" jdoe(a)whereever.com displayed as "John Doe" whereas jdoe(a)whereever.com displayed as the list name. In your comment, you use an example with a name comment of "John", but in the example you provided there is no name comment field, so perhaps my statements here do apply. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Aharon Varady (aharon) Date: 2002-06-05 21:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=139355 Well, this remains (and has always been) a problem for my lists.

drop mail from posters who are not subscribed!
by Chuck Mead 02 Jul '02

02 Jul '02

Does anybody have a patch making it possible to simply drop mail sent from posters who are not subscribed? I run a pile of lists (none of them accept mail from people who are not subscribed) and I get quite tired of having to manually deal with spam posts from people who are not subscribed to the lists. Any ideas? -- csm "Look, I want to make Microsoft's life miserable; so I'll tell you what, I'll pay you $10 million a year to torture Microsoft." --Steve Ballmer

A quick pointer
by Alan Batie 02 Jul '02

02 Jul '02

I'll confess I've never hacked python, but it looks pretty straightforward and I'm really tired of going in and weeding out the spam from my several lists every few days. The FAQ for tossing everything is tempting, but I'd like to fix it right and add a setting that says "Discard every post not from a subscriber". I was hoping I could get three quick pointers here so I don't have to wade through the whole thing: 1. Where do the settings listed on the web page get set? 2. Where do they get processed when you submit the form? (I'm assuming looking at this will also tell me how to query the setting later) 3. Where does the decision of what to do with a message not from a subscriber happen? I can probably find this searching through the code, but I thought posting here would a) let people know someone was attempting this, b) tell me if someone else is already doing it and c) maybe someone would let me know if there are any "surprises" lurking...

[ mailman-Bugs-229568 ] Pipermail won't resolve author names of aol.com addresses
by noreply＠sourceforge.net 01 Jul '02

01 Jul '02

Bugs item #229568, was opened at 2001-01-20 22:53 You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=229568&group_i… Category: Pipermail Group: None Status: Open Resolution: Works For Me Priority: 5 Submitted By: Aharon Varady (aharon) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Pipermail won't resolve author names of aol.com addresses Initial Comment: Pipermail does not resolve the "author" of emails sent from aol.com. Instead, Pipermail gives the email address of the listserve. For example: "John" <user(a)aol.com> is resolved by pipermail as: listname(a)foo.com and not as John. This bug only occurs for users of aol.com addresses. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Terri Oda (spot) Date: 2002-07-01 14:03 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=110886 The problem is that it defaults to using the reply-to address if it's set, and this isn't what we want when the reply-to is always being set by the list. Take a careful look at the rest of your archives and you'll probably note that *everyone's* email address is showing up as listname(a)foo.com. It's a nice anti-spam feature, perhaps, but probably not what you want. Here's a quick fix for pipermail.py: 180c180 < if e is not None: --- > if e is not None and self.email is None: This just changes it so that it defaults to the From: address (when it's set) rather than the Reply-to address. If there's some particular reason to take the Reply-To over the From, I can make something which actually checks to see if the reply-to is being set by the list, but this should solve your problem for the moment. Terri ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ava Jarvis (katanalynx) Date: 2002-06-10 22:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=561110 This bug -- for version 2.0.11 at least -- seems to occur when 'from' only contains the email address. There's some code in pipermail.py (version 2.0.11), line 177: <excerpt> # Figure out the e-mail address and poster's name self.author, self.email = message.getaddr('From') e = message.getheader('Reply-To') if e is not None: self.email = e self.email = strip_separators(self.email) self.author = strip_separators(self.author) if self.author == "": self.author = self.email </excerpt> If reply-to is set, then it is always taken as the author's email address. However, some lists set the reply-to field to be, for instance, the list address.... and you can guess what happens next when there is no name comment/author. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2002-06-06 12:09 Message: Logged In: NO This comment doesn't directly address the case you report, but it might be related so I thought it worthwhile to submit. I see you are using MM2.0.9. I saw a similar problem with MM2.1b1, which was fixed in MM2.1b2. The problem then was that an address with a name "comment" would be displayed in the archive as the list name, whereas an address with a name comment would be displayed (properly) with the name. Example: "John Doe" jdoe(a)whereever.com displayed as "John Doe" whereas jdoe(a)whereever.com displayed as the list name. In your comment, you use an example with a name comment of "John", but in the example you provided there is no name comment field, so perhaps my statements here do apply. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Aharon Varady (aharon) Date: 2002-06-05 21:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=139355 Well, this remains (and has always been) a problem for my lists.
