before next release: disable backscatter in default installation
by Jo Rhett Nov. 8, 2022

Nov. 8, 2022

Hi. There's a fairly simple problem here that needs to be addressed. And it's mostly a documentation/install problem. I'm hoping we can get this resolved before the next release. PROBLEM: Mailman comes out of the box ready to backscatter spam people. Yes, it's easy enough to fix. But because it comes stock this way, and is documented to install this way, most people install it to do this. Those of us who work in abuse departments are tired of hearing "well that's how Mailman … [View More]

The Dashboard's view is kept restricted based on the logged in user'… [View More]

Hello all, I am a GSoC student working on Syster's custom version of Mailman.

Problem Passing Parameters to the REST API
by Nafisa Shazia June 13, 2015

June 13, 2015

Hello Barry, I had the same (roundabout) problem as my peer in regards to passing parameters to the REST API. For the Systers-customized version of Mailman, I wanted to add an 'essay' field to the member, such that someone trying to subscribe to our mailing list would write an essay that could be stored. I made whatever changes to the code I thought were necessary and then attempted to subscribe a member myself. This Google Doc highlights some code and errors that I ran into. https://… [View More]

Problem passing parameters to the REST API
by khushboo surana June 12, 2015

June 12, 2015

Hello, I am working on Mailman to implement report generations for unsubscription stats like no. of members who unsubscribed through different modes like email confirmation. web-confirmation, etc. ( For more details refer: http://systers.org/wiki/doku.php/f_dlist_stats_scripts) I made changes in the Mailman Model to add attributes for date and mode of unsubsrciption in the member table. I also changed the unsubscribe() method in mailman/model/member.py file to accept another parameter called '… [View More]mode' and add that to the member table. I am trying to change all the methods in the Client and REST API that access the unsubscribe method, to pass the mode, but I am facing problems. In the mailmanclient/_client.py file I have made the following changes: def unsubscribe(self, email, mode): data = dict(mode = mode) for member in self.members: if member.email == email: self._connection.call(member.self_link, data=data, method='DELETE') break I have also changed the 'on_delete()' method of the mailman/rest/members.py file to retrieve the data sent. When I run mmclient in postorius and try to unsubscribe a member from the list I get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> File "/home/khushboo/gsoc/mailman.client/src/mailmanclient/_client.py", line 619, in unsubscribe self._connection.call(member.self_link, data=data, method='DELETE') File "/home/khushboo/gsoc/mailman.client/src/mailmanclient/_client.py", line 108, in call raise HTTPError(url, response.status, content, response, None) HTTPError: HTTP Error 500: A server error occurred. Please contact the administrator. In the Core, I get the following logs: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.4/wsgiref/handlers.py", line 137, in run self.result = application(self.environ, self.start_response) File "/home/khushboo/gsoc/mailman/src/mailman/database/transaction.py", line 57, in wrapper rtn = function(*args, **kws) File "/home/khushboo/gsoc/mailman/src/mailman/rest/wsgiapp.py", line 65, in __call__ environ, start_response) File "/home/khushboo/gsoc/mailman/lib/python3.4/site-packages/falcon-0.3.0-py3.4.egg/falcon/api.py", line 182, in __call__ responder(req, resp, **params) TypeError: on_delete() missing 1 required positional argument: 'response' I am trying to debug the problem but haven't been able to make much progress. Can someone please help figure out the problem. Thanks Khushboo [View Less]
