|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Give the first alpha a code name. This branch mostly gets rid of all the approval oriented handlers in favor of a chain-of-rules based approach. This will be much more powerful and extensible, allowing rule definition by plugin and chain creation via web page. When a message is processed by the incoming queue, it gets sent through a chain of rules. The starting chain is defined on the mailing list object, and there is a built-in default starting chain, called 'built-in'. Each chain is made up of links, which describe a rule and an action, along with possibly some other information. Actions allow processing to take a detour through another chain, jump to another chain, stop processing, run a function, etc. The built-in chain essentially implements the original early part of the handler pipeline. If a message makes it through the built-in chain, it gets sent to the prep queue, where the message is decorated and such before sending out to the list membership. The 'accept' chain is what moves the message into the prep queue. There are also 'hold', 'discard', and 'reject' chains, which do what you would expect them to. There are lots of built-in rules, implementing everything from the old emergency handler to new handlers such as one not allowing empty subject headers. IMember grows an is_moderated attribute. The 'adminapproved' metadata key is renamed 'moderator_approved'. Fix some bogus uses of noreply_address to no_reply_address. Stash an 'original_size' attribute on the message after parsing its plain text. This can be used later to ensure the original message does not exceed a specified size without have to flatten the message again. The KNOWN_SPAMMERS global variable is replaced with HEADER_MATCHES. The mailing list's header_filter_rules variable is replaced with header_matches which has the same semantics as HEADER_MATCHES, but is list-specific. DEFAULT_MAIL_COMMANDS_MAX_LINES -> EMAIL_COMMANDS_MAX_LINES. Update smtplistener.py to be much better, to use maildir format instead of mbox format, to respond to RSET commands by clearing the maildir, and by silencing annoying asyncore error messages. Extend the doctest runner so that it will run .txt files in any docs subdirectory in the code tree. Add plugable keys 'mailman.mta' and 'mailman.rules'. The latter may have only one setting while the former is extensible. There are lots of doctests which should give all the gory details. Mailman/Post.py -> Mailman/inject.py and the command line usage of this module is removed. SQLALCHEMY_ECHO, which was unused, is removed. Backport the ability to specify additional footer interpolation variables by the message metadata 'decoration-data' key. can_acknowledge() defines whether a message can be responded to by the email robot. Simplify the implementation of _reset() based on Storm fixes. Be able to handle lists in Storm values. Do some reorganization.
| * Fleshed out the doctest for the new incoming queue runner.Barry Warsaw2008-02-021-2/+3
|/ | | | | | | Added a Mailman.tests.helpers module for some commonly used stuff (although test refactoring hasn't yet happened). Give Mailman 3.0a1 a code name.
* Repair docfiles broken with the new ISwitchboard interface. Mostly these wereBarry Warsaw2007-06-271-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | due to the change from the method Switchboard.files() to the generator property Switchboard.files. Add support in cleaning_teardown() for the doctests for removing all queue files leftover after a test is complete. This way, failures in one test that queues files won't break all subsequent such tests. Update the 2.1.9 section of the NEWS.txt file from the Mailman 2.1 branch.
* Convert the CookHeaders tests in test_handlers to using doctests, split upBarry Warsaw2007-06-211-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | into several sub-documents. Defaults.py.in: Removed OLD_STYLE_PREFIXING. So-called 'new style' prefixing is the default and only option now. CookHeaders.py is updated to the new API and some (but not all) of the code has been updated to more modern Python idioms. reply_goes_to_list attribute has been changed from a strict integer to a munepy enum called ReplyToMunging. RFC 2369 headers List-Subscribe and List-Unsubscribe now use the preferred -join and -leave addresses instead of the -request address with a subject value.
* Go ahead and remove the Mailman/database/tables directory since all the Elixirbwarsaw2007-05-301-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | classes live in Mailman/databae/model now. Remove the TestDecorate test class from test_handlers.py and move them into a doctest called decorate.txt (with harness in test_decorate.py). Remove the dependence on SafeDict from the Decorate handler because I can now use string.Template object to safely fill in header and footer templates. Eventually I want to completely remove SafeDict from Mailman, but it's still used in a few other places. This also means that only $-strings will be supported in headers and footers, and the import script will have to convert %-strings to $-strings. Also, '_internal_name' is no longer a supported header/footer substitution variable. Use $real_name or $list_name now. Added $fqdn_listname as a substitution variable. Update the DEFAULT_MSG_FOOTER accordingly.
* Merge exp-elixir-branch to trunk. There is enough working to make me feelbwarsaw2007-05-281-6/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | confident the Elixir branch is ready to become mainline. Also, fewer branches makes for an easier migration to a dvcs. Don't expect much of the old test suite to work, or even for much of the old functionality to work. The changes here are disruptive enough to break higher level parts of Mailman. But that's okay because I am slowly building up a new and improved test suite, which will lead to a functional system again. For now, only the doctests in Mailman/docs (and their related test harnesses) will pass, but they all do pass. Note that Mailman/docs serve as system documentation first and unit tests second. You should be able to read the doctest files to understand the underlying data model. Other changes included in this merge: - Added the Mailman.ext extension package. - zope.interfaces uses to describe major components - SQLAlchemy/Elixir used as the database model - Top level doinstall target renamed to justinstall - 3rd-party packages are now installed in pythonlib/lib/python to be more compliant with distutils standards. This allows us to use just --home instead of all the --install-* options. - No longer need to include the email package or pysqlite, as Python 2.5 is required (and comes with both packages). - munepy package is included, for Python enums - IRosterSets are added as a way to manage a collection of IRosters. Roster sets are named so that we can maintain the indirection between mailing lists and rosters, where the two are maintained in different storages. - IMailingListRosters: remove_*_roster() -> delete_*_roster() - Remove IMember interface. - Utils.list_names() -> config.list_manager.names - fqdn_listname() takes an optional hostname argument. - Added a bunch of new exceptions used throughout the new interfaces. - Make LockFile a context manager for use with the 'with' statement.
