Share list passwords with a php script: a possible solution
by OXullo Intersecans 22 May '03

22 May '03

Greetings, I'm here again to share my solution with the list I solved my fuss with the following perl-suid script: -------------- code snippet --------------------- #!/usr/bin/perl $ENV{PATH} = ''; if ($ARGV[0] =~ /(\w{1}\w*)/) { $list = $1; } else { nok(); } if ($ARGV[1] =~ /(\w{1}[\w-.]*)\(a)([\w-.]+)/) { $email = "$1\@$2"; } else { nok(); } $pass = $ARGV[2]; $o = `/usr/local/mailman/bin/withlist -q -r getmemberpw $list $email`; chomp($o); if ($pass eq $o) { print "OK\n"; } else { nok(); } sub nok() { print "NOK"; exit(); } -------------------------------------------------- Cleaning up the eventual taint on the arguments, I call this script with exec() function in PHP, getting the output as a return code. The script is setuid to mailman. Thanks for your attention Marco Fagiolini

Auto-responder
by Tom Eagle 22 May '03

22 May '03

I have two items about Auto-responder 1) Can there be a option to but a "real name" (either variable or fixed) in the from: header which would be less confusing that test-bounces(a)lsmo.us? 2) Can we use more internal strings in the body, i.e. %(description)s ? Tom Eagle

Share list passwords with a php script
by OXullo Intersecans 21 May '03

21 May '03

Greetings, I'm advancing excuses if this topic has been treated yet but I found no clues even in this mailing list. I would find a way to let a php script running under www-data user permission to test an authentication providing email and password (I have to test if a particular user has or not access to the list) I achieved this executing 'withlist' on the script running a python piece of code: -------------- code snippet --------------------- from Mailman.Errors import NotAMemberError def getmemberpw(mlist, addr): try: pw = mlist.getMemberPassword(addr) print pw except NotAMemberError: print 'ENOPW' -------------------------------------------------- This however works well if config.pck belongs to www-data, which obviously creates a security hole I thought to find a way using a wrapper, stronging security giving the couple email,pwd to the program and get a positive or a negative response. But I know very little of python and now I'm asking if are there some other ways. Thank you very much for your kind attention Marco Fagiolini

Hi, I'm with this morning's CVS, and installed the email-2.5.2 package correctly (I think). But I still get those errors: ==> logs/error <== May 20 10:28:25 2003 (8945) Uncaught runner exception: unknown encoding May 20 10:28:25 2003 (8945) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 110, in _oneloop self._onefile(msg, msgdata) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 160, in _onefile keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py", line 130, in _dispose more = self._dopipeline(mlist, msg, msgdata, pipeline) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py", line 153, in _dopipeline sys.modules[modname].process(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/CookHeaders.py", line 75, in process prefix_subject(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/CookHeaders.py", line 262, in prefix_subject h.append(s, c) File "/usr/local/mailman/pythonlib/email/Header.py", line 285, in append s = s.encode(outcodec, errors) LookupError: unknown encoding May 20 10:28:25 2003 (8945) SHUNTING: 1053419304.694351+978ad1e0b03b3e44f82eb885f530cd366a12efac -- Fil

SLOW Mailmans delivery
by Kory Wheatley 19 May '03

19 May '03

Is there a way to slow down the delivery of Mailman to the subscribers of all my Mailing lists? We have one list that has 16,000 subscribers to one domain, all these accounts are on our mail server. Every time a message is sent out from this list, it really causes the load on our mail server to be high. Currently our Mail server is on a powerful 3 processor HPUX 11 NClass server with 2GB of RAM. Mailman 2.1.1 is on a Red Hat 8 Pentium 600mhz, using Postfix as the MTA. I have Postfix setup to do slow delivery to this domain (isu.edu), but that doesn't seem to help. I also lowered the SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = to 3, thinking that might help. Postfix is setup as: In Main.cf transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport slow_destination_concurrency_limit = 1 In Master.cf slow unix - - y - - smtp In Transport isu.edu slow: Any Suggestions like causing the smtp process to pause after sending out a boat load of messages and then resume again.

appending archive url to sent out message
by Hunter Peress 16 May '03

16 May '03

For each email that mailman sends out, I want it to include the web address of that email in the archives. I've looked at the code, and im really not familiar. I went to mailman-2.1.1/Mailman/Archiver and poked around. Maybe the GetBaseArchiveURL is part of what I need. anyway, could someone assist in pointing out the places in the code i'll need to change to accomplish this. i did a: hperes@HillCountryPeress:[~/mailman-2.1.2/Mailman]%grep -r GetBase * Archiver/Archiver.py: def GetBaseArchiveURL(self): Cgi/admin.py: otherlinks.AddItem(Link(mlist.GetBaseArchiveURL(), HTMLFormatter.py: return '<a href="%s">' % self.GetBaseArchiveURL() Handlers/CookHeaders.py: archiveurl = mlist.GetBaseArchiveURL() Handlers/Scrubber.py: baseurl = mlist.GetBaseArchiveURL() so given that its all over the place i have no idea where to star __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
