Will mailman3 have any security measures in the form submissions to prevent CSRF? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_request_forgery This is one of our requirements for using mailman. Thanks, Anil

Mailman and delivery of messages
by Mallory S Woods II Jan. 28, 2012

Jan. 28, 2012

Greetings all, I have mailman version 2.1.9 installed in a shared environment. I don't have root access and I can't access the log files. My client has 5000 emails that I have successively imported all of the emails and have done my configuration on mailman. I added a gmail account to the list so that I could test to see if the message had gone through. Two days after I sent the message, I have not seen a sign that the gmail account received the email. There is no message in the spam folder of this account. I wanted to know if there was an easy way of determining if the message reached all of the members. As a side note, I did receive the email message to my account which is not a gmail account. Thanks!

Modify options-login page
by Michele Federle Jan. 27, 2012

Jan. 27, 2012

Hi everybody! I have a problem with the public page "options"; I've already modify the html structure of the page but, first logging in, appears an other page, which asks for password and/or email. My question is: can I change that page, too?? How?? Thanks -- :: Michele Federle :: Twitter: @mikecesure :: Skype: mikecesure

GNU Mailman sprint at Pycon 2012
by Barry Warsaw Jan. 25, 2012

Jan. 25, 2012

Hey folks, it looks like we're going to have a quorum of core developers at Pycon 2012 in Santa Clara, so we will definitely be sprinting on Mailman 3. We'll be primarily working on the integration of the core engine with the official Django-based web ui. If you want to participate, kibbitz, or just learn more about MM3, I highly encourage you to join us. Remember, the Pycon sprints are free and you do not need to register for the conference to attend. Please do sign up on this page if you're going to join us though, so we can plan sprint room sizes and such: https://us.pycon.org/2012/community/sprints/projects/ If you haven't been to a Pycon before though, I highly recommend it. There are tons of great speakers and presentations, some great tutorials before the conference starts, and always excellent BoFs and other events. Attendance is capped at 1500 though, so if you're thinking about it, JFDI already! :) -Barry

feature suggestion for digest mode ?
by Lucio Chiappetti Jan. 25, 2012

Jan. 25, 2012

I have elected to receive the majority of the mailing lists I am subscribed to in mime digest mode (actually all the lists who support such a mode, which incidentally means all mailman-managed ones). Recently there was a discussion on the alpine lists about ways to automatically trigger (as an user preference in the MTA, not as a list preference in mailman or alike) that replies go to the list, not to the poster (I'm one of the 50% of the people who think that a discussion list is made for discussions not for person-to-person replies). This can be technically implemented in alpine as a role-setting rule triggered by some pattern in the e-mail message one is replying to. The suggestion was to use List-Id. However, if one receives from the list as a MIME digest (as I do), and accesses individual Message/RFC822 portions as if it were an individual e-mail (which I do via a key definition rule in alpine), these portions DO NOT CONTAIN ANY of the "list management keywords". I guess a quick workaround for me would be to use the To: field instead of List-Id, but I wonder if a future mailman version could consider a way to include the "list management keywords" in the Message/RFC822 components ! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lucio Chiappetti - INAF/IASF - via Bassini 15 - I-20133 Milano (Italy) For more info : http://www.iasf-milano.inaf.it/~lucio/personal.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wir muessen wissen / wir werden wissen Inscription on David Hilbert's grave http://tinyurl.com/3e5hfl ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear mailman, I have a problem when I send mail command to unsubscribe user from specified mail list with mail command: unsubscribe somepass address=some email address <mailto:address=mail@mail.mail> I have got message from mailman that password was wrong. At the same time I can use GUI with the same password. It is strange fail because command works for some addresses works and for some will return an error. Where to dig?

Enabling Mailinglist Archive
by Sascha Rissel Jan. 23, 2012

Jan. 23, 2012

Hello there, I have just moved my mailing lists to a new (now an own) server. On the old server, I had the archive running, archie_private set to "private" and archive_volume_frequency to "daily". Unfortunately, the archive remains empty. When I open the archive, I just get the messages: > No messages have been posted to this list yet, so the archives are currently empty. What do I have to undertake to get the archive running? Thanks in advance, Sascha.

digests not getting sent
by Anil Jangity Jan. 23, 2012

Jan. 23, 2012

Hi, I ran into a problem with digests not getting sent and I found out the root cause to be something like this, on Solaris: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2009-September/066979.html So, I compiled my own Python 2.7, and tried to send /path/to/python2.7 -S /path/to/senddigests That reported no errors, and I found 'lists/*/*digest.mbox' getting processed, as far as I can tell. The files disappeared after running the above command. Where is the logging for digests? How do I know it's really working? I created a test list and added a member with Digest options. Sent some emails as another member, then ran that command. I have not received any email so far. Thanks!
