Summary: add support for PGP and S/MIME encryption and signing
Initial Comment:
This patch is based upon a patch by Stefan Schlott (
http://medien.informatik.uni-ulm.de/~stefan/gpg-mailman.html )
It extends Mailman to:
- A post will be distributed only if the PGP signature on the post is from
one of the list members.
- For sending encrypted email, a list member encrypts to the public key of
the list. The post will be decrypted and re-encrypted to the public keys
of all list members.
(Later, the patch will handle RFC 2633 (S/MIME) messages too, next to RFC 2440
(OpenPGP)).
In order to achieve this, each list has a public and private key, as well
as a key passphrase. Furthermore, new list settings are defined:
gpg_postings_allowed: Is it allowed to send to this list postings which are
encrypted with the GPG list key?
gpg_msg_distribution: Are subscribers allowed (or even forced) to upload
their GPG public key in order to receive all messages encrypted?
gpg_post_sign: Should posts be GPG signed with an acknowledged subscriber key
before being distributed?
gpg_msg_sign: Should the server sign encrypted messages?
Finally, each subscriber can upload her PGP public key using the webinterface.
Latest version of the patch is available from

The patch fully supports S/MIME too.
Between 2006-01 and 2006-10, no work has been done on this
patch. It applies to Mailman 2.1.7 only.
