Logging issues on the trunk
by Mark Sapiro 28 Apr '06

28 Apr '06

There are a few remaining issues regarding logging in the svn trunk. 1) The ReopenableFileHandler.__init__ method in Mailman/loginit.py calls logging.FileHandler.__init__(self, filename, mode, encoding) This method only allows the instance, filename and mode arguments. The encoding argument throws a TypeError exception. 2) The 'locks' log is missing from the LOGGERS tuple in loginit.py 3) Mailman/LogFile.py still references Mailman.Logging.StampedLogger This is tricky if we want to maintain its current ability to be used outside of Mailman. I *think* we could change try: from Mailman.Logging.StampedLogger import StampedLogger _logfile = StampedLogger('locks') to try: from Mailman import loginit _logfile = logging.getLogger('mailman.locks') _logfile.write = _logfile.info where the import of loginit is just to see if it throws the exception. I'm not sure if we ever need to actually call loginit.initialize() as in most if not all cases, this has already been done by some superordinate importer of LogFile. 4) Many of the scripts/* files contain from Mailman.Logging.Utils import LogStdErr and LogStdErr('error', 'name') I think these can just be deleted as the scripts/driver script does the Mailman.loginit.initialize() -- Mark Sapiro <msapiro(a)value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Another Vietnamese translation issue
by Mark Sapiro 25 Apr '06

25 Apr '06

There is no entry for Vietnamese in the add_languages() statements in Defaults.py.in in the Release_2_1-maint branch or in the LANGUAGE_DICT entries in Defaults.py.in in the trunk. -- Mark Sapiro <msapiro(a)value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Yes, there shouldn't be any templates in the subversion trunk, but that isn't what I was saying. I'm saying that 'make install' did not extract the templates from the mailman.po for the templates/vi/ directory in the insatlled system. The reason for this is the magic templates headers in messages/vi/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.po look like #:templates/en/admindbdetails.html:1 #:templates/en/admindbpreamble.html:1 #:templates/en/admindbsummary.html:1 #:templates/en/adminsubscribeack.txt:1 #:templates/en/adminunsubscribeack.txt:1 etc. and they should look like #: templates/en/admindbdetails.html:1 #: templates/en/admindbpreamble.html:1 #: templates/en/admindbsummary.html:1 #: templates/en/adminsubscribeack.txt:1 #: templates/en/adminunsubscribeack.txt:1 etc. because the po2templ.py script that extracts them from the mailman.po file is looking specifically for if line.startswith('#: templates'): -- Mark Sapiro <msapiro(a)value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Problems with Vietnamese translation
by Mark Sapiro 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

I have just done a 'clean' configure and make install from the currend subversion trunk. I see the following issues: There is a templates/vi directory in the trunk. It is empty, but it really shouldn't be there at all. More importantly, po2templ.py didn't create any templates in templates/vi. This appears to be because in messages/vi/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.po, the magic #: templates/en/filename:1 headers are missing the ' ' between '#:' and 'templates'. -- Mark Sapiro <msapiro(a)value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Unified Moderator Interface
by Kevin Kubasik 19 Apr '06

19 Apr '06

Hey, I'm a member of the Gnome Moderator Team[1] over at gnome.org. We have a large collection of quite active mailing lists that a small team (6 people) manage and moderate. While mailman has served us faithfully, one feature that we have been looking to implement for a long time is a unified moderation panel of sorts. Or a way for one moderator to view all pending messages by logging in once. Since it is not uncommon that one spammer crawls the site and sends the same message to every list, it can become a routine exercise of repetition to sign in 50+ times to discard the same message. We have been looking to implement this feature internally, but most of our python developers are swamped, and we haven't been able to find someone with the expertise necessary. Has the feature already been considered? if not, could it be considered for a future release? [1]- http://live.gnome.org/ModeratorTeam -- Cheers, Kevin Kubasik http://blog.kubasik.net/

RELEASED: Mailman 2.1.8
by Tokio Kikuchi 15 Apr '06

15 Apr '06

On behalf of the development team, I'm pleased to announce the release of GNU Mailman 2.1.8. In this release, we have fixed a cross-site scripting security bug in the previous release (CVE-2006-1712), integrated a new version of email library (email-2.5.7), and added bounce processing supports for number of sites and MUAs. It is highly recommended that all sites using 2.1.7 and before should update to this release. Mailman is free software for managing email mailing lists and e-newsletters. For more information, see: http://mailman.sourceforge.net/ For links to download the Mailman 2.1.8 source tarball, see: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103 (Note that uploading to the mirror sites may be delayed.) -- Tokio Kikuchi

Released: Mailman 2.1.8 release candidate
by Tokio Kikuchi 11 Apr '06

11 Apr '06

Hi all, Mailman 2.1.8rc1 was released for the final test of 2.1.8. Important: This is not only a release candidate but also include a fix for a cross-site scripting bug found in 2.1.7. All sites running previous versions are adviced to upgrade to 2.1.8(rc1). I am going to release the final by the next weekend if nothing serious happens. Please download it from Sourceforge file area: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103 Cheers, Tokio --------------------------------------------------- Here is a history of user visible changes to Mailman. 2.1.8rc1 (07-Apr-2006) Security - A cross-site scripting hole in the private archive script of 2.1.7 has been closed. Thanks to Moritz Naumann for its discovery. Bug fixes and other patches - Bouncers support added: 'unknown user', Microsoft SMTPSVC, Prodigy.net and several others. - Updated email library to 2.5.7 which will encode payload into qp/base64 upon setting. This enabled backing out the scrubber related patches including 'X-Mailman-Scrubbed' header in 2.1.7. - Fix SpamDetect.py potential hold/reject loop problem. - A warning message from email package to the stderr can cause error in Logging because stderr may be detached from the process during the qrunner run. We chose not to output errors to stderr but to the logs/error if the process is running under mailmanctl subprocess. - DKIM header cleansing was separated from Cleanse.py and added to -owner messages too. - Fixes: Lose Topics when go directly to topics URL (1194419). UnicodeError running bin/arch (1395683). edithtml.py missing import (1400128). Bad escape in cleanarch. Wrong timezone in list archive index pages (1433673). bin/arch fails with TypeError (1430236). Subscription fails with some Language combinations (1435722). Postfix delayed notification not recognized (863989). 2.1.7 (VERP) mistakes delay notice for bounce (1421285). show_qfiles: 'str' object has no attribute 'as_string' (1444447). Utils.get_domain() wrong if VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW off (1275856). Miscellaneous - Brad Knowles' mailman daily status report script updated to 0.0.16. -- Tokio Kikuchi, tkikuchi@ is.kochi-u.ac.jp http://weather.is.kochi-u.ac.jp/

Mailman listinfo and admin problem!
by Simmo Siil 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

I have 3 ways how people want to see mailman lists. For example: http://mail/mailman/listinfo http://mail.subdomain.domain.com/mailman/listinfo http://mail.domain.com/mailman/listinfo Right now they can see information only in http://mail/mailman/listinfo If they look from other addresses, then the lists are empty. How can it be done so that all the lists are showed from every address. I hope someone can help me...
