* Lengthen default admin cookie life to three hours. Someday (maybeklm1998-10-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | tomorrow, if i finish more important things by then) we should fix the mechanism to have a short default life, but extend it every time some admin action is taken. But then, will that be too aggravating for the people who have confirmation of cookie changes set in their browser? Too bad for them, i think...
* Refining "umbrella lists" mechanism, for lists that have other listsklm1998-10-171-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | as members. Previously set by the "DEFAULT_REMINDERS_TO_ADMINS" option, that's now "DEFAULT_UMBRELLA_LIST". A new option, "DEFAULT_UMBRELLA_MEMBER_ADMIN_SUFFIX", dictates the suffix appened to the account part of the members address for administrative things like confirmation requests and password notices. (Otherwise, they would be delivered to the entire lists. Conversely, allowing an arbitrary admin-notice address specified by the subscriber would open the door for terrible chicanery, where people arbitrarily cross-subscribed lists...) Incremented DATA_FILE_VERSION for change.
* added posters_includes_members variable which determines whether or notcotton1998-10-121-1/+2

* added adminitrivia filter and an "administrivia" list attribute thatcotton1998-10-121-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | is editable via the admin cgi to turn the filter on and off. I'm sure that the filter could catch more things, but it will have less false positives than majordomo anway :) a listing of the specific changes follows: Defaults.py.in changed data file version and added DEFAULT_ADMINISTRIVIA Utils.py added a function IsAdministrivia(msg) that does the filtering replaced re.sub with string.replace(much faster) in (Un)ObscureEmail. MailList.py: added the config info for the administrivia variable, and made the post method check it if the list has the variable set. versions.py: make new lists have an administrivia variable scott
* These changes allow case-preserved usernames in email addresses ofcotton1998-10-121-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | list members. I have yet to look at handling of -admin addresses. Also, there is a configurable variable in Defaults.py that allows the site admin to decide whether or not to do "smart address matching" - where scott@chronis.pobox.com matches scott@pobox.com as the same address (these addresses are in reality different addresses ;). A listing of the changes to the files follows: Defaults.py.in - added SMART_ADDRESS_MATCH variable and a short description, defaulting to 1. MailCommanHandler: removed string.lower(address) in processSubscribeCmd and replaced it with Utils.LCDomain(address) MailList.py: made AddMember and ApprovedAddMember use Utils.LCDomain(address) instead of string.lower(address) Utils.py: got rid of top level domain listing and commented out corresponding code in ValidEmail since it seems clear that we have no intention of using this anymore. added LCDomain(address) which lowercases only the domain part of an address if there is a domain part. made AddressesMatch use LCDomain instead of string.lower, made it check LCDomain(addr1) == LCDomain(addr2) if mm_cfg.SMART_ADDRESS_MATCH is set to 0, and do the match it used to do if that variable is set to 1. scott
* These changing are a cleanup of the sorry state the subscription policycotton1998-10-101-5/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | was in (which was largely my fault from before). Before: 1) web_subscribe_requires_confirmation was showing in the admin cgi, but not working. 2) all subscribes that required admin approval were going through the confirmation process. 3) the code implementing the confirmation process was distributed between the subscribe cgi and MailCommandHandler, duplicated in places and disrupting the previous interface to list.AddMember. 4) the open_subscribe variable was confusing because it didn't pay any attention to confirmations. Now, things are organized a little differently, but in a much cleaner way. there is one variable that deals with subscription policy, called "subscribe_policy". It's setting determines what happens with both the web based and the mail based subscriptions. there are 4 options: 0 - open subscribe policy 1 - confirmation required 2 - admin approval required 3 - confirmation and then admin approval required there is a site configuration variable in Defaults.py called ALLOW_OPEN_SUBSCRIBE, which determines whether or not an open subscribe policy is an option. If it's not, the admin cgi interface does not present it as an option. I have restored a slightly modified version of the prior-to-confirmations interface for list.AddMember, where all you have to code is: try: list.AddMember(email, digest, password) except Errors.MMBadEmail: except Errors.MMAlreadySubscribed: [ ... all those other good things it used to check ...] except Errors.MMSubscribeNeedsConfirmation: # the confirmation has already been sent. # so just report accordingly to whatever the ap is. In addition, I have moved the code for processing a confirmation request to MailList.py so that it can be used in both a confirmation cgi (which does not yet exist, but will) and the mailcmd script. it's interface is: try: list.ProcessConfirmation(cookie) except Errors.MMBadConfirmation: # the cookie doesn't correspond to anything except Errors.MMNeedApproval: # the list is set to approve+confirm subscribe_policy. A listing of the changes to the files follows: Mailman/Defaults.in: added ALLOW_OPEN_SUBSCRIBE,DEFAULT_SUBSCRIBE_POLICY deleted DEFAULT_OPEN_SUBSCRIBE, changed DATA_FILE_VERSION to 5 Mailman/Errors.py: added MMBadConfirmation and MMSubscribeNeedsConfirmation Mailman/MailCommandHandler.py: moved the confirmation code to MailList.py and use the new (old) list.AddMember interface MailMan/MailList.py: added .ProcessConfirmation(cookie), changed AddMember to fit new (old) interface. deleted config info for open_subscribe and replaced with config info for subscribe_policy that acts according to mm_cfg.ALLOW_OPEN_SUBSCRIBE. Also made list.ApprovedAddMember's "noack" argument just "ack" for simplicities sake and made it default to None instead of 0 so that if the ack variable isn't passed, it sets it to the value of the lists .send_welcome_msg setting. Mailman/versions.py: added handling for new data file format, replacing open_subscribe with a reasonable value for subscribe_policy based on a combination of what open_subscribe is and what mm_cfg.ALLOW_OPEN_SUBSCRIBE is set to. Mailman/Cgi/admin.py: made the cgi handle the output and processing of subscribe_policy based on the setting of mm_cfg.ALLOW_OPEN_SUBSCRIBE. removed erroneous processing of whether or not to send an ack with mass subscription based on new interface to list.ApprovedAddMember (this processing is to be replaced with a good idea from john -- making mass subscribe have it's own option of whether or not to send welcome messages). Mailman/Cgi/subscribe.py: made backgrounds white, and made it use the MailList.AddMember interface described above. Mailman/Makefile.in: looks like this part of that distclean patch from NAGY didn't make it in yet (rm'ing mm_cfg.py as well as Defaults.py) scott
* All these changes are for implemented integrated pipermail based archives.cotton1998-10-091-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Original patches are from The Dragon de Monsyne with the following changes: -added support for private archives as well as public -added support for archiving daily and weekly -made archiving happen in real time -replaced use of pipermail's BSDBDatabase with homegrown python version -took out the need for DocumentTemplate here's a listing of changed files and relevant changes: Makefile.in - added public_html/archives to installdirs Mailman/Archiver.py - changed ArchiveMail to do real time archiving Mailman/Defaults.py.in - added archive frequency and and archive url extension variables Mailman/MailList.py - changed .Save() to alter perms on public vs. private archives Mailman/htmlformat.py - changes directly from The Dragon do Monsyne's patches. I don't know what they are exactly, but all the cgi's seem to work fine, so I assume they are OK. Mailman/versions.py - changes to add archiving based variables back to the list Mailman/Cgi/private - changed to make it work with default installation and made background white on login page src/Makefile.in - changes to make all wrappers setuid mailman: since various processes may access an archive, and the archiving mechanism uses "chmod", all archives must be owned by mailman, so all wrappers need to be owned by and setuid mailman added files: Mailman/HyperArch.py - from The Dragon de Monsyne with changes made noted above Mailman/HyperDatabase.py - the replacement for pipermail.BSDBDatabase scott
* Include a default which designates the maximum number of mail commandklm1998-09-031-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | lines for processing. (Large, misdirected mail commands can lead to near-thrash conditions, while the MailCommandHandler slogs through, misguidedly trying to process many many lines...) Starting with a value of 25 - sort of arbitrary, but it seems like more than enough. [Meant to check this in before the dependent change to MailCommandsHandler.py - but first mistakenly applied the changes directly to Defaults.py rather than Defaults.py.in.]

| | | | | | | autoconf stuff. Basically, the autoconf script should fire up Python and see if crypt can be imported. Of course, if a previous installation has a different value than configure determined, it should be used instead, otherwise stuff will mess up.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hope I merged in all the latest changes! Added Emacs turd added to top of file. RCS crud removed Added PYTHON variable which holds the absolute path to the configure discovered Python interpreter. Added PREFIX and EXEC_PREFIX variables which hold configure's equivalents of --prefix and --exec_prefix (module autoconf 2.12 buglet). LIST_DATA_DIR, HTML_DIR, CGI_DIR, LOG_DIR, LOCK_DIR, WRAPPER_DIR, SCRIPTS_DIR, TEMPLATE_DIR, PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_FILE_DIR, PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_FILE_DIR: All moved to the bottom of this file since users will not typically edit these or the paths they are based on any more. All are calculated relative to PREFIX and EXEC_PREFIX as given by configure. VERSION is also moved to the bottom of the file. This is also generated by configure. The nice thing here is that configure.in is the only file that need be changed when the version number changes.

* Changed names of 'closed' and 'auto_subscribe' options!mailman1998-03-241-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 'closed' => 'private_roster'. 'Closed' was being used to control whether the roster of list members was to be visible to non-list members, but is used elsewhere (in mailman explanations for subscription deferrals, as well as in majordomo and other maillist system parlance) to refer to whether the subscription policy requires admin approval or not. 'auto_subscribe' => 'open_subscribe'. This is the option that controls whether or not the list is closed - 'open' is more clear than 'auto' - i would have switched to 'closed', but saw no need to have the name refer to the *much* less common case, and didn't want to change the default sense of the option. Added listme.com to the roster of forbidden spam posters.

* Changing over to external pipermail archive:mailman1998-03-131-9/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - new vars {PUBLIC,PRIVATE}_ARCHIVE_FILE_DIR, DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_PRIVATE, specify the location of the dirs for the public and private archives, and the choice of which is to be used - public is default. - Retired archive_update_frequency stuff, retain_text_copy option (that's now all that we retain, in the archive dir Providing option for administrator to received immediate notice of new pending queued requests - DEFAULT_ADMIN_IMMED_NOTIFY - defaults to true. Added periodic (with help of senddigest cron job) digest transmission in addition to size-threshhold triggering, and periodic mechanism enabled by new option DEFAULT_DIGEST_SEND_PERIODIC, by default *on*. Enabled bounce processing by default. Added comments to bounce_matching_headers expr, incliding a comment explaining them in the template.
* Added default value for obscure_addresses - on!klm1998-03-081-6/+12
| | | | | | | | Added list address to default message footer layout, and lengthened "horizonal rule". Added a setting for default digest header and footer, dependent on regular message header and footer.

| | | | | | | | | | bounce_matching_headers option takes a string with "field: matchexp" lines, and, if set, messages with header fields matching matchexp are held for approval. Leading whitespace in matchex is ignored. new LOG_DIR setting for dir to contain log files. removed MAIL_LOG - i also think it isn't used any more.
