fqdn_listname - is it strict in what type of input it accepts?
by Andrew Stuart Feb. 16, 2015

Feb. 16, 2015

As I understand it, fqdn_listname is effectively the email address of a mailing list. i.e. testlist(a)example.org The RFC 2369 list-id is the same thing but with a dot instead of an @ symbol. i.e. testlist.example.org My question: is Mailman strict about accepting only email addresses in fqdn_listname fields? Or does it also accept RFC 2369 list-id in fqdn_listname fields? I’m trying to wrap my head around some inconsistencies where some methods that use fqdn_listname seem to accept list-id, … [View More]

I totally agree with you that DNSBL suits better in MTA, my interest on bulding it as a plugin is for the reason that a user might want to block a particular domain not because it is a spam but due to reasons better known and genuine to him or her.To let let them do that with ease without worrying about shell access and other complexities. > Sorry, if I sound harsh.

Is there a way to get member id via REST API?
by Andrew Stuart Feb. 14, 2015

Feb. 14, 2015

GET /addresses/{email}/memberships GET /members Both seem to return member id in self_link but I can’t see it elsewhere. Anywhere I can get member id without parsing it out of the self_link? Maybe I’m not looking in the right place. thanks as

Question about member role and PATCH /members/{id}
by Andrew Stuart Feb. 13, 2015

Feb. 13, 2015

When a user is subscribed to a list, they can be assigned a role, one of member, owner, moderator nonmember. The PATCH /members/{id} method does not allow changes to the role and display_name. I’m just wondering what the thinking is behind this - is there a reason that role cannot be changed? thanks

Adding CSS to mailman archives
by Andrew Daviel Feb. 13, 2015

Feb. 13, 2015

A little while ago (November 2012 probably) I changed a mailing list from Hypermail to Mailman and wanted to keep some of the look-and-feel of the archives, e.g. background colour and fonts. So I patched mailman 2.1.9 in CentOS 5 to include a CSS stylesheet link in each generated HTML page, replacing e.g. <BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> with just <body> and adding e.g. body {background-color: #ffffff ; color: black; } in /pipermail/mailman.css, so that HTML style such as FONT and SIZE … [View More]

Date normalization - opinions sought
by Andrew Stuart Feb. 12, 2015

Feb. 12, 2015

Does Mailman normalize dates on emails to UTC? It seems like a good idea to me to normalise dates on emails to UTC but you guys would know best. What would be the pros and cons of email date normalisation to UTC? Are there good reasons not to? Which date field on an email is even the right one to use? Sent date or received date? And WHICH received date , because there can be various dates can’t there? thanks as
