Hi Abhilash
I am a naive to Python development, but my client was having the requirement of sending SMS to the moderators.
We are using postgresql database . I have used psycopg2 module to fetch the email address of the moderator from the database for the list that is posted.(mlist_fqdnname)
From the email address I have used ldapsearch to fetch mobile number of the email address from ldap using subprocess module.
After receving the mobile number we are having SMS api to send the message to the moderator to this I have imported urllib and urllib.request module in parsing http requests.
I am not sure what I did was a right way of approach but I could able to achieve that.
All the above piece of code was incorporated in hold.py file.
Request your valuable inputs on this approach. If there is any more better approach your inputs are most welcome.
Regards Sandeep

Thanks Abhilash for valuable inputs.
I will come back to you if in case of any challenges.
We have also implemented sending SMS notification along with the mail notification to the moderator whenever the post is held for approval.
Would be curious to see how you did this, and maybe suggest something in case you are using internal APIs which could break when upgrading to a new version.
We could able to achieve that through the inputs received from this mailing list group. Thanks once again

We want to integrate LDAP authentication for a user to login into postorious.
When a user tries to login, he should be authenticated by an LDAP instead of getting authenticated using the credentials saved in the mailman database.
What file should be edited and any small clue would be welcome.
First see Django's Docs on authentication backends1. This2 seems to come up as the most popular library for LDAP authentication in Django.
You won't have to change anything in the source, only use the appropriate settings defined in the docs of Django-auth-ldap to integrate with LDAP.
There might be some minor details that I am not aware of, but if you setup correct settings, other things should work okay. You *may* have to create your own Sign-In pages though. I am assuming you won't have a sign-up page.
You'll end up making changes in
urls.pyin the mailman-suite project too, just to configure the right URLs to redirect to for authentication.Sorry for sparse information, but I hope this will be a good starting point for you. It would be awesome if you could also document this process if you succeed since there have been some requests in past about integrating with LDAP. It could help others in future :)
