I am pleased to announce the final release for Mailman 2.1.16.
Python 2.4 is the minimum supported, but Python 2.7 is recommended.
This release has a few new features and several bug fixed as detailed in
the attached README.
Differences from the third candidate release include a minor update to
the Czech message catalog, updates to the Danish message catalog and
templates, and a fix for bug LP:1235101.
The new from_is_list feature described in the README is considered
experimental and subject to change in future releases.
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 well as at hundreds of other sites.

2.1.16 (16-Oct-2013)
New Features
- There is a new list attribute from_is_list to either rewrite the From:
header of posts replacing the posters address with that of the list or
wrap the message in an outer message From: the list for compatability
with DMARC and or ADSP. There is a new mm_cfg.py setting
DEFAULT_FROM_IS_LIST to control the default for new lists, and the
existing REMOVE_DKIM_HEADERS setting has been extended to allow removing
those headers only for certain from_is_list lists. This feature must
be enabled by setting ALLOW_FROM_IS_LIST to Yes in mm_cfg.py. See the
description of these settings in Defaults.py for more detail. This
feature is experimental in 2.1.16, and it is subject to change or to
become just one of the two methods in a subsequent release. People
interested in this feature are encouraged to try it and report their
experiences to the mailman-users at python.org list.
- There is a new DISPLAY_HELD_SUMMARY_SORT_BUTTONS setting which if set
in mm_cfg.py will display a set of radio buttons in the admindb held
message summary to select how the held messages are sorted and grouped
for display. The exact setting determines the default grouping and
sorting. See the description in Defaults.py for details.
- Setting digest_size_threshhold to zero now means no digests will be
sent based on size instead of a digest being sent with every post.
(LP: #558274)
- There is a new mm_cfg.py setting SUBSCRIBE_FORM_SECRET which will put
a dynamically generated, hidden hash in the listinfo subscribe form and
check it upon submission. Setting this will prevent automated processes
(bots) from successfully POSTing web subscribes without first retrieving
and parsing the form from the listinfo page. The form must also be
submitted no later than FORM_LIFETIME nor no earlier than
SUBSCRIBE_FORM_MIN_TIME after retrieval. Note that enabling this will
break any static subscribe forms on your site. See the description in
Defaults.py for more info. (LP: #1082746)
- add_members now has an option to add members with mail delivery disabled
by admin. (LP: #1070574)
- IncomingRunner now logs rejected messages to the vette log.
(LP: #1068837)
- The name of the mailmanctl master lock file is now congigurable via the
mm_cfg.py setting MASTER_LOCK_FILE. (LP: #1082308)
- list_lists now has an option to list only lists with public archives.
(LP: #1082711)
Contributed programs
- A new import_majordomo_into_mailman.pl script has been contributed by
Geoff Mayes. (LP: #1129742)
- A new "sitemap" bash script has been contributed by Tomasz Chmielewski
<mangoo at wpkg.org> to generate a sitemap.xml file of an installation's
public archives for submission to search engines.

HTML entities. (LP: #1018208)
