I'm wondering if it would make sense to use mailcap(5) -- either the
system's, or MM user's should one exist, to generate a list of
MIME-Types for Mailman, and nice tickboxes alongside to select
"Reject,
Discard, Allow, Forward to Admins" or something similar (read-in
mailcap
on each load of the relevant part of the admin web-URI?/each execution
of the command-line util?).
Python has a mailcap module, so that would make the most sense.
It would be grand (IMO) to have a Reject message using something like:
(auto-generated) "$LISTNAME doesn't accept $MIMETYPE" plus, perhaps
the
opportunity to provide some more 'useful' information:
"your mail client's broken",
"HTML's for the web, not email",
"we don't like MS Word",
"stop using proprietry formats"
or some other customizable message
This isn't an area I've addressed yet, but customizable messages
needs to be thought about, especially when multilingual rejection
messages are considered.
Maybe I should draw what I'd like...
Perhaps (shudder), allowing an over-ride to let *some* users use a
specified content, whilst rejecting for others...
Have I over-complicated things? Or am I barking mad?
I'm not sure per-user filters are feasible. I'm also not sure you
want to see 35 or more checkboxes on the whitelist/blacklist page.
That's how many entries are in mailcap.getcaps() on OS X.
