before next release: disable backscatter in default installation
by Jo Rhett Nov. 7, 2022

Nov. 7, 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]

3.1.x REST API enhancements around preferred email address
by Scott Koranda March 8, 2018

March 8, 2018

Hello, I am interested in contributing enhancements around preferred address to the REST API for version 3.1.x. To prove out my use case(s) and familiarize myself with the code I have made changes already. Here are some example curl command line invocations and output to illustrate: 1) Create an address for an existing user and mark that address as the user's preferred address: curl -u restadmin:restpass \ -X POST \ -d email=skoranda(a)example.nil \ -d preferred=1 \ … [View More]

Handling additions to REST API in client side
by Abhilash Raj Dec. 29, 2017

Dec. 29, 2017

Hi All, Core's REST API is versioned and any change that break backwards-compatibility cause the version to bump so that clients can take care of that. However, one question that I have been thinking about recently is how to handle additions to REST API that don't necessarily break the backwards compatibility. For example, Core added `max_message_size` attribute to MailingList's REST endpoint, but it hasn't made into any released version yet. Also, Postorius added max_message_size in `… [View More]

Postorius 1.1.2 security release
by Abhilash Raj Dec. 28, 2017

Dec. 28, 2017

Hi Everyone, I am pleased to announce that Postorius 1.1.2 is released and is up on PyPI[1]. This release fixes a security bug that sets the password of a user in Core to their display name. It is recommended that you upgrade to this version. Postorius (Django) and Mailman Core both have different notion of "user" and "password". When a user account in created in Postorius, it creates a user in Core using the REST API. This bug, causes the password of user created in Core to be set to their … [View More]

Hi, I personally believe that the limitation of the line length would *increase* the quality of the code. (Please, no lines with 500 characters in a text file.) Kind regards, -- Peter

AFAIK there are merge requests for all the parts, the only hold-up is testing to make sure they actualy work.

The idea is that there are default settings and you would override them in additional files. The default settings are found here https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/blob/master/web/mailman-web/setti… https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/blob/master/core/assets/mailman.c… There are some settings that you have to overwrite, as mentioned in the readme of https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman You do so, by specifing them in the respective files that you create in /opt/mailman/ on your host machine. You can search for the settings in the original files in the github repo and then use the same syntax in your new files. > OK, maybe it is realistic for me to wait for debian backport. That will definelty mean less work for you, and you will have it running directly on the machine managed by your package manager. This will probably be easier with upgrades as well. [View Less]
