I'd like to use withlist more to troubleshoot certain issues, but I can't find any documentation on the objects and methods available in the withlist context. Do such docs exist somewhere?
There are two basic objects in Mailman. These are list objects and message objects.
Message objects are a sub-class of the python email.message class which is documented in the Python docs (e,g. <http://docs.python.org/2/library/email.message.html#email.message>. Mailman adds a few methods in the Message.Message class definition in Mailman/Message.py.
List objects have many methods defined in several different modules, but a good starting point is Mailman/MailList.py. Also, virtually every method having to do with list members, including the low level addNewMember(), removeMember() and changeMemberAddress() methods called by higher level methods defined in Mailman/MailList.py, is documented in Mailman/MemberAdaptor.py.
For example, I'd like to figure out how to set all addresses in a certain domain nomail. But I can't figure out:
- what the parameters and outputs of getDeliveryStatusMembers are
Not the method you want. You want getMembers(), but both are documented in Mailman/MemberAdaptor.py.
- what the method is to set someone nomail
setDeliveryStatus() also documented in Mailman/MemberAdaptor.py.
You might look at the scripts at <http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/> as examples of some of the things you might want to do. In particular, <http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/reset_bounce.py> with a very small change can disable delivery for all members in a given domain and <http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/set_nomail.py> can disable delivery for given members.
