Mailman 2.1.10b4 Released
by Mark Sapiro April 23, 2008

April 23, 2008

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am happy to announce the next beta release of Mailman 2.1.10. This is a security and bug fix release and it is highly recommended that all sites upgrade to this version. Mailman 2.1.10 also adds support for three new language translations, Galician, Hebrew and Slovak and a few new features. Mailman is free software for managing email mailing lists and e- newsletters. Mailman is used for all the python.org and SourceForge.net mailing lists, as … [View More]well as at hundreds of other sites. For more information, including download links, please see: http://www.list.org http://mailman.sf.net http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman Special thanks are due to Barry Warsaw and Tokio Kikuchi for much coding and support, Moritz Naumann for help with security issues and Jim Tittsler for a significant patch. Here's a list of the major changes. Security - - The 2.1.9 fixes for CVE-2006-3636 were not complete. In particular, some potential cross-site scripting attacks were not detected in editing templates and updating the list's info attribute via the web admin interface. This has been assigned CVE-2008-0564 and has been fixed. Thanks again to Moritz Naumann for assistance with this. New Features - - Changed cmd_who.py to list all members if authorization is with the list's admin or moderator password and to accept the password if the roster is public. Also changed the web roster to show hidden members when authorization is by site or list's admin or moderator password (1587651). - - Added the ability to put a list name in accept_these_nonmembers to accept posts from members of that list (1220144). - - Added a new 'sibling list' feature to exclude members of another list from receiving a post from this list if the other list is in the To: or Cc: of the post or to include members of the other list if that list is not in the To: or Cc: of the post (Patch ID 1347962). - - Added the admin_member_chunksize attribute to the admin General Options interface (Bug 1072002, Partial RFE 782436). Internationalization - - Added the Hebrew translation from Dov Zamir. This includes addition of a direction ('ltr', 'rtl') to the LC_DESCRIPTIONS table. The add_language() function defaults direction to 'ltr' to not break existing mm_cfg.py files. - - Added the Slovak translation from Martin Matuska. - - Added the Galician translation from Frco. Javier Rial Rodríguez. Changes since 2.1.10b3 include the Galician translation and updates to the French translation (Vietnamese and Danish translations were updated in 2.1.10b3). Other changes since 2.1.10b3 include: - - In 2.1.9, queue runner processing was made ~ more robust by making backups of queue entries when they were dequeued ~ so they could be recovered in the event of a system failure. This ~ opened the possibility that if a message itself caused a runner to ~ crash, a loop could result that would endlessly reprocess the message. ~ This has now been fixed by adding a dequeue count to the entry and ~ moving the entry aside and logging the fact after the third dequeue of ~ the same entry. - - Fixed the command line scripts add_members, sync_members and ~ clone_member to properly handle banned addresses (1904737). - - Fixed bin/newlist to add the list's preferred language to the list's ~ available_languages if it is other than the server's default language ~ (1906368). - - Changed the first URL in the RFC 2369 List-Unsubscribe: header to go ~ to the options login page instead of the listinfo page. - - Changed the options login page to not issue the "No address given" ~ error when coming from the List-Unsubscribe and other direct links. ~ Also changed to remember the user's language selection when ~ redisplaying the page following an error. /Mark Sapiro - -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Hi, I just noticed a problem with our 2.1.9 installation. One of my colleagues complained that mails didn't go through to one of his lists. When I checked the logs, I found that sendmail handed the messages off to Mailman (some info redacted): 2008-04-23T15:14:23+02:00 lvr13.rrz.uni-koeln.de sendmail[21253]: m3NDEM3A021253: from=<yyy(a)uni-koeln.de>, size=5059, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<1208956450.988675.155922491.2908.2(a)otrs.rrz.uni-koeln.de>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=Daemon0, … [View More]

What you want to send and have Mailman pass is a multipart/alternative message with a text/plain part and a text/html part. To set Mailman's content filtering to accept and deliver this, you need at least multipart/alternative text/plain part text/html in … [View More]

Hello: Please note that I am on a shared host that has a control panel (not cPanel), so I have to work from the administration page, I do not have access to the Python source code. I would like to start using multipart messages, but have not been able to find how to do it in looking through the FAQs and the help docs. Could someone point me to the right place? Salud, Carlos

Important Mailman 2.1.9 to 2.1.10 upgrade note.
by Mark Sapiro April 22, 2008

April 22, 2008

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Actually, this note really applies to just restarting mailman a Mailman 2.1.9 installation, with or without upgrading to Mailman 2.1.10. But in installations that just 'run' without intervention, this restart may not occur until an upgrade. There is an error in Mailman 2.1.9. In the introduction of the backup and recovery of queue entries, we neglected to remove the backup queue entry for an unparseable message. Thus, if you sometimes receive … [View More]

Finding a Particular Outbound Message
by McNutt Jr, William R April 21, 2008

April 21, 2008

Mailmain is currently not sending traffic. But that's okay at the moment. One of my users wants to cancel a message she's sent. Normally I couldn't do this, because traffic goes out too fast for me to catch it. But since right now nothing's moving, I told her I'd try before I re-started mailman. Where would I look to find an outgoing message?
