[Mailman-Developers] respond_to_post_requests is not configurable but should be

[Steffen Mueller]

Hi.

According to the comments in mailman/Mailman/MailList.py,
respond_to_post_requests should be configurable, but it isn't.

288         # This stuff is configurable
289         self.respond_to_post_requests = 1

See attached patches to fix this.

Should I fill a bugreport or can anyone add this to CVS?

I'm using Mailman version 2.1.4 from Debian Backport 2.1.4-0.backports.org.1
But this appears in the latest 2.x CVS-tree, too.

Thank you all for mailman development.

cheers,
Steffen Mueller
