Re: [Mailman-Users] How to add a new Mailman CGI program?

I would like to add a new CGI program for Mailman, because the
existing scripts do not fit my needs. Unfortunately I'm not too
familiar with Mailman and this seems to be a bit complicated. So I
would appreciate any help.
I recently needed to add a 'list all members' function for our list
admins; I elected to modify the python scripts in the Mailman directory:
1. In Mailman/Gui/Membership.py:
I added:
('listall', _('List All')),
to the function GetConfigSubCategories(self, category)
This had the effect of adding a new option to the 'Membership
Management' section of Mailman, called 'List All' with an internal code
of 'listall'.
2. In Mailman/Cgi/admin.py line 488, I changed:
if subcat not in ('list', 'add', 'remove'):
to:
if subcat not in ('list', 'add', 'remove', 'listall'):
This had the effect of not defaulting to the wrong thing when the user
requests 'listall'.
The rest of it may not help you, as the functionality I needed was
already there, I just needed access to it. I changed line 814 from:
if len(all) < chunksz:
to:
if len(all) < chunksz or subcat == 'listall':
Presumably I could have just as well have added an elseif to handle
that (as I may well do to make it *just* a list of members and not a
form).

Re: [Mailman-Users] Help stopping Virus sent to lists "from" my domain

The bug ticket is here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=103&atid=100103 Please add your comments to the item so the developers take this seriously. If you don't have a SourceForge account, you can create one here: http://sourceforge.net/account/register.php I've been having this problem also, but while I'm sure the developers are taking it seriously, I'm not sure what they can do. E-mail has only one means of determining who something is from: the envelope from. They could match the envelope to the from: line, but that's hardly a fix. The from: line is just as easy to forge as the envelope. The only way I can see of them "fixing" it is to disallow any non-moderated users or administrators. They could force all messages, even from list admins, to be moderated. I don't see that going over very well. The best place to fix this particular instantiation of the problem is at the mail server anyway. The mail server itself should never have delivered the virus-laden message to the mailing list. But this does not solve the problem of forged from addresses, it only keeps forgeries from bearing known viruses. Personally, I use this as an excuse to turn off attachments to mailing lists. But that isn't a solution that goes over very well either. My personal preference for "fixing" it is for mail client writers to start supporting a signed mail standard. Then, mailman could accept administrator mail only if it is signed and the administrator has already given mailman their public key. But doing that today would be practically the same thing as requiring all administrator mail to be moderated.

My experience was similar to Paul's: dead easy. My steps were
slightly different; and I had been running the new Xserve with some
test lists before copying the files over. These are my notes for the
final switchover:
on old lists
mailmanctl stop
on old list server, copy files to personal workstation:
sudo rsync -a --delete -e ssh /home/mailman/lists
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:Desktop/lists/ --progress
sudo rsync -a --delete -e ssh /home/mailman/data
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:Desktop/lists/ --progress
sudo rsync -a --delete -e ssh /home/mailman/archives
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:Desktop/lists/ --progress
shutdown old lists hardware
on new lists:
--copy from personal workstation to staging area
sudo rsync -a --delete -e ssh [EMAIL
PROTECTED]:Desktop/lists/lists /
var/mailman/new --progress
sudo rsync -a --delete -e ssh [EMAIL
PROTECTED]:Desktop/lists/data /
var/mailman/new --progress
sudo rsync -a --delete -e ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]:Desktop/lists/
archives /var/mailman/new --progress
--fix staging area
cd /var/mailman/new
rm -r lists/mailman
rm data/adm.pw data/aliases data/aliases.db
data/master-qrunner.pid
data/sitelist.cfg
sudo chown -R mailman:mailman /var/mailman/new
--fix symbolic links in public directory
cd /var/mailman/new/archives/public
sudo ~/bin/fixlinks *
--move from staging area to live
sudo scp -pr /var/mailman/lists /var/mailman/data /var/mailman/
archives /Users/cole/mailmanvar
sudo mv /var/mailman/new/lists/* /var/mailman/lists
sudo mv /var/mailman/new/data/* /var/mailman/data
sudo mv /var/mailman/new/archives/* /var/mailman/archives
--add alias lines to /var/mailman/data/aliases
--note that I had kept a list of lists in FileMaker, along with
the
necessary aliases for each
--this is what I copied
cd
sudo scp -p [EMAIL PROTECTED]:Desktop/lists/list_aliases .
sudo vi /var/mailman/data/aliases
:r list_aliases
:wq
sudo /usr/sbin/postalias /var/mailman/data/aliases
--update data files
sudo /usr/share/mailman/bin/update
sudo bin/withlist -l -a -r fix_url -- -v
--add IP address (change from test-ip to live-ip)
sudo changeip - test-ip live-ip
sudo networksetup -setmanual "Built-in Ethernet 1" live-ip
netmask
gateway
sudo networksetup -getinfo "Built-in Ethernet 1"
stop and start postfix from server admin?
The fixlinks script referenced above, because after the copy the
public alias links didn't work, as they were pointing to the wrong
directory:
===
#!/usr/bin/perl
$privatebase = "/var/mailman/archives/private";
while ($item = shift) {
$reallink = "$privatebase/$item";
print "Changing $item to $reallink\n";
unlink($item);
symlink($reallink, $item);
}

Re: [Mailman-Users] Which parts of mailman are platform-dependent?
On Mar 11, 2007, at 10:25 AM, Steve Burling wrote: > Or have I missed something? Anything else that will care? We used to run the mail server portion on an old Solaris box, and the web portion on a Mac OS X Server box. As I recall, Mailman has a means of compiling itself for multiple platforms simultaneously, with each platform-dependent part going into a special directory for that platform. However, it's been a while since we had that setup, and I can't recall how that worked.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Re: view all members of a list on one page
is it possible to see all members of a list on one page ,regardless
of how
many users are subscribed to this list and not just those with the
same
beginning letter? We are using mailman version 2.1.4.
This is not a default option, but it's easy enough to add if you are
comfortable editing the python files.
Note that this will add this feature to *all* administrative
interfaces; line numbers may be slightly off. And always make backups.
Mailman/Gui/Membership.py:
add
('listall', _('List All')),
to GetConfigSubCategories(self, category)
Mailman/Cgi/admin.py line 488, add feature code to:
if subcat not in ('list', 'add', 'remove'):
i.e.
if subcat not in ('list', 'add', 'remove', 'listall'):
line 814 from:
if len(all) < chunksz:
to:
if len(all) < chunksz or subcat == 'listall':
