I do want to make the description field mandatory on list
creation, so
modifying the Mailman/Cgi/create.py is most likely the route
I would like to
pursue.
In viewing the config and determining the changes to be
made, I would be
editing as follows:
def process_request(doc, cgidata):
# Lowercase the listname since this is treated as the
internal name.
listname = cgidata.getvalue('listname', '').strip().lower()
owner= cgidata.getvalue('owner', '').strip()
# Added following line to support description field
description = cgidata.getvalue('description', '').strip()
Looks OK
# Sanity Check
# Added following line to support description field
if not description:
request_creation(doc, cgidata,
_('You forgot to specify the list
description'))
return
The issue here is _() is an i18n method to substitute text in the
appropriate language for the English text. As long as you're only
dealing in English, this won't be a problem, but this message won't be
available in other languages.
# And send the notice to the list owner.
# Added description to mlist
text = Utils.maketext(
'newlist.txt',
{'listname': listname,
'password': password,
'admin_url' : mlist.GetScriptURL('admin', absolute=1),
'listinfo_url': mlist.GetScriptURL('listinfo',
absolute=1),
'requestaddr' : mlist.GetRequestEmail(),
'siteowner' : siteadmin,
'description' : description,
}, mlist=mlist)
This only adds 'description' and it's value to the dictionary for
interpolation into the template. You still need to edit the
newlist.txt template (see
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq04.048.htp)
to include appropriate text with '%(description)s' to receive the
description.
# in Dummy section modify page text to indicate requirement
for description
pYou also need to enter the email address of the
initial list owner
and
a brief description of the list. Once the list is
created, the list
owner
will be given notification, along with the initial list
password. The
list owner will then be able to modify the password and
add or remove
additional list owners.
# Also in Dummy section
safedescription =
Utils.websafe(cgidata.getvalue('description', ''))
ftable.AddRow([Label(_('Brief description of list:')),
TextBox('description', safedescription)])
ftable.AddCellInfo(ftable.GetCurrentRowIndex(), 0, bgcolor=GREY)
ftable.AddCellInfo(ftable.GetCurrentRowIndex(), 1, bgcolor=GREY)
I am not sure if the information above is 100% correct, but
I believe it is.
The part that is not addressed above is the actual list
creation. This is
called by mlist.Create, which I believe is from the
/Mailman/MailList.py
file. Here is how I believe the call should be done in create.py to
accomplish what I want:
# Added description to this command line
mlist.Create(listname, owner, pw, langs, emailhost,
description)
Do not change the mlist.Create() call.
Now that I am passing another parameter, how can I ensure it
is handled
correctly? Will there be some changes required in
MailList.py or another
file to make sure the field is handled correctly? Is description the
correct name to use?
You don't pass the parameter in the Create() call.
You 'update' it after the list is created. Just before the last
'finally:' in the outer of three 'try:'s around the Create()
you'll see
# Initialize the host_name and web_page_url
attributes, based on
# virtual hosting settings and the request environment
variables.
mlist.default_member_moderation = moderate
mlist.web_page_url = mm_cfg.DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN % hostname
mlist.host_name = emailhost
add after this and before mlist.Save()
mlist.description = description

Not sure if this is the place to mention this but the README.POSTFIX file should be updated since the probe messages depend on this feature as well: In order to support Mailman's optional VERP delivery, you will want to disable luser_relay (the default) and you will want to set recipient_delimiter for extended address semantics. You should comment out any luser_relay value in your main.cf and just go with the defaults. Also, add this to your main.cf file: recipient_delimiter = + VERP was not enabled in my installation so I paid no attention to this guideline.

[Mailman-Users] Moving Mailman to New Machine
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Greetings Everyone I am so sorry if this has been answered before, but I googled for it and couldn't find it. I have a machine that I am upgrading. Right now it runs mailman and works very well. I am making a complete backup and then going to format and install a new version of linux. After which I would like to restore just the lists and their data. Mailman its self will be installed with the new linux version, it comes as a package. My question is what directories / folders do i need to put back. It looks like /usr/local/mailman/lists has the lists data, if I restore this directory, and my /etc/aliases file will my lists come back and start working again? Any help greatly appreciated.

Re: [Mailman-Users] List name not displaying in Mailmanarchives

If I send an email to ListA, it will archive in both ListA and ListB. (But, if I send an email to ListB only, it will not archive in ListA.) One thing you could do is to configure ListB so that it will only accept messages if they are coming from ListA. At that point you could/should turn off the archive for ListB, because nothing will be posted to the list unless it came through ListA, which has it's own archive. My understanding is that, as an umbrella list, ListA shouldn't have any regular recipients subscribed to it -- only other mailing lists. This would also simplify your situation a lot. For some lists, I have multiple other lists subscribed. My problem is that if I send an email to ListA, a member of both lists who only reads the archives won't be able to tell if the email was sent to ListA or to ListB. Not the way you've got it configured, no. If I can't make the original headers available in the archives, is there a way to display the to address? Not without changing the code in Pipermail, no. I notice that both list names will show up as they appear in Prefix for subject line of list postings...is there a way to make that field exclusive for the email address I'm sending to?

[Mailman-Users] Giant lists
In the process of researching for better ways to do things with our mailman list, I came across the 'Giant Lists' thread of a few weeks ago. Realizing that our list is actually larger than the list mentioned (though not by much) and that this is probably a list I should be participating in, I decided to sign up. I'm sorry Cabel, but I'm going to have to take away your 'largest list' title. The AdoptionWeek E-Magazine, currently run with MailMain, sendmail, and the MySQL MailmanMemberships patch (http://kyrian.ore.org/MailmanMysql/) currently serves 124,329 members. This is a one-message-per-week list with _very_ tight restrictions on who can send out, so our load is probably lower than comparable discussion lists. The list was originally converted to Mailman about a year ago by a different admin, so I'm not too familiar with how it was initially set up. I do eventually hope to upgrade the server from Solaris an old Sun 250 to Linux on something modern, though, and when that time comes I'm sure I'll be a _very_ active member of the list. Right now it's taking us roughly 2-3 days to send out a single message to our whole list, so if anyone has any sendmail performance tips, I'd be glad to hear them. I'm more of a postfix guy, myself, so sendmail is a whole new world for me. Glad to be aboard!

David Does Mailman support inclusion of home-grown filters to David modify incoming messages? Yes. Check out the various 'pipeline' variables. You probably want the GLOBAL_PIPELINE. A pipeline is a list of Python functions to be called on each message. The functions have to have a specific signature; such functions are called Handlers and the standard set lives in the Mailman/Handlers subdirectory. You'll need write access to that directory to add the custom handlers. I don't have the patch #s off hand, but there are patches to integrate SpamAssassin and virus filters into the Mailman pipeline on the SourceForge tracker; these would be good models for interfacing to existing strippers such as MIMEdefang (there probably is a patch for MIMEdefang, too, come to think of it). In the case of stripping attachments and size restrictions, there is already standard code to do this which can be enabled in the web interface (the Content Filtering and General Options pages).

Re: [Mailman-Users] List name not displaying in Mailmanarchives
Exactly-- umbrella lists, my apologies for not using the correct terminology the first time. For instance, I have two separate Mailman lists-- ListA and ListB. ListB is the only member subscribed to ListA. If I send an email to ListA, it will archive in both ListA and ListB. (But, if I send an email to ListB only, it will not archive in ListA.)

My problem is that if I send an email to ListA, a member of both lists who only reads the archives won't be able to tell if the email was sent to ListA or to ListB. If I can't make the original headers available in the archives, is there a way to display the to address?

[Mailman-Users] Found new Subscriber Moderate box unchecked and MIME attachments now appearing
Hello- I've searched the Mailman Users FAQ and archives and cannot find an answer to my issue below. Our moderated Mailman list (running on Mailman 2.1.4) had been chugging along just fine for the past five months. Then abruptly this week we found several new subscribers posting to the list unmoderated! When I investigated Mailman admin settings I found the new subscriber moderate box unchecked! How could this setting be changed without human interaction? Anyway I re-checked it and re-set all accounts to moderated. At the same time this occurred, and thus may be related, some posts to the list began showing up with attachments. Before this time we had been successfully filtering attachments, without a single attachment making it through to the list. Example of a recent post which included attachments is included below (with relevant headers). Note the two attachments in the post below appear as a graphical rule (horizontal line), one separating the header from the body and the other between the body and the footer (see below). (At least this is how they appear in Outlook Express, which by necessity I use to view messages posted to the list). We have the list setup to convert all HTML to text. Below is the lists current 'Content Filtering' settings. Any thoughts on why we are suddenly observing the appearance of attachments and any recommendations to filter them out? We're just happy with straight text. Thanks, Woody -- Current 'Content Filtering' settings: Should Mailman filter the content of list traffic according to the settings below? Yes Remove message attachments that have a matching content type. None listed.

[Mailman-Users] Reply-to problem
Hi all. I have switched on the filter on all my lists. I have only set it to filter and convert HTML to plain text, all other settings are default. In the general settings for all lists, I have set reply-to this list instead of sender. I only want replies go to the list, not to the members directly. The rpely-to stuff worked just fine before I switched on the filters. But now, some mails from the list don't have the reply-to-header. It looks to me that mails that has been converted from HTML don't get the reply-to-header. Others emails has the header. Are there any solutions on this? Thanks in advance. -- ___ Joakim Nomell Phn: +46 70 771 31 00 MSN : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unix engineer Fax: +46 70 711 31 00 Web : http://nomell.se --- -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

Hi I'm also getting an identical error to Chris Boulter Oddly, when there is a text body as well as binary attachments, the attachments seem to be silently dropped without mention, and there is no hyperlink to retrieve them. Is there any reason why this might happen? I'm running Version 2.1.5. of mailman.

Maybe someone installed Mailman on your machine, perhaps with auto-alias support in Exim or some other MTA, and which has somehow taken over regular e-mail addresses? I'd be willing to bet that this is a misconfigured MTA which is mistakenly handing e-mail to Mailman that it should not. -- Brad Knowles, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), reply of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the Governor, November 11, 1755 SAGE member since 1995.
