==========================
Mailing list configuration
==========================

Mailing lists can be configured via the REST API.

    >>> mlist = create_list('ant@example.com')
    >>> transaction.commit()


Reading a configuration
=======================

All readable attributes for a list are available on a sub-resource.

    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant@example.com/config')
    acceptable_aliases: []
    admin_immed_notify: True
    admin_notify_mchanges: False
    administrivia: True
    advertised: True
    allow_list_posts: True
    anonymous_list: False
    archive_policy: public
    autorespond_owner: none
    autorespond_postings: none
    autorespond_requests: none

    autoresponse_request_text:
    bounces_address: ant-bounces@example.com
    collapse_alternatives: True
    convert_html_to_plaintext: False
    created_at: 20...T...
    default_member_action: defer
    default_nonmember_action: hold
    description:
    digest_last_sent_at: None
    digest_size_threshold: 30.0
    display_name: Ant
    filter_content: False
    first_strip_reply_to: False
    fqdn_listname: ant@example.com

    post_id: 1
    posting_address: ant@example.com
    posting_pipeline: default-posting-pipeline
    reply_goes_to_list: no_munging
    reply_to_address:
    request_address: ant-request@example.com
    scheme: http
    send_welcome_message: True
    subject_prefix: [Ant]
    volume: 1
    web_host: lists.example.com
    welcome_message_uri: mailman:///welcome.txt


Changing the full configuration
===============================

Not all of the readable attributes can be set through the web interface.  The
ones that can, can either be set via ``PUT`` or ``PATCH``.  ``PUT`` changes
all the writable attributes in one request.

When using PUT, all writable attributes must be included.

    >>> from mailman.interfaces.action import Action
    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/'
    ...           'ant@example.com/config',
    ...           dict(
    ...             acceptable_aliases=['one@example.com', 'two@example.com'],
    ...             admin_immed_notify=False,
    ...             admin_notify_mchanges=True,

    ...             allow_list_posts=False,
    ...             digest_size_threshold=10.5,

    ...             default_nonmember_action='discard',

    ...           'PUT')
    content-length: 0
    date: ...
    server: WSGIServer/...
    status: 204

These values are changed permanently.

Changing a partial configuration
================================

Using ``PATCH``, you can change just one attribute.

    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/'
    ...           'ant@example.com/config',
    ...           dict(display_name='My List'),
    ...           'PATCH')
    content-length: 0
    date: ...
    server: ...
    status: 204

These values are changed permanently.

    >>> print(mlist.display_name)
    My List


Sub-resources
=============

Many of the mailing list configuration variables are actually available as
sub-resources on the mailing list.  This is because they are collections,
sequences, and other complex configuration types.  Their values can be
retrieved and set through the sub-resource.


Acceptable aliases
------------------

These are recipient aliases that can be used in the ``To:`` and ``CC:``
headers instead of the posting address.  They are often used in forwarded
emails.  By default, a mailing list has no acceptable aliases.

    >>> from mailman.interfaces.mailinglist import IAcceptableAliasSet
    >>> IAcceptableAliasSet(mlist).clear()
    >>> transaction.commit()
    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/'
    ...           'ant@example.com/config/acceptable_aliases')
    acceptable_aliases: []
    http_etag: "..."

We can add a few by ``PUT``-ing them on the sub-resource.  The keys in the
dictionary are ignored.

    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/'
    ...           'ant@example.com/config/acceptable_aliases',
    ...           dict(acceptable_aliases=['foo@example.com',
    ...                                    'bar@example.net']),
    ...           'PUT')
    content-length: 0
    date: ...
    server: WSGIServer/...
    status: 204

Aliases are returned as a list on the ``aliases`` key.

    >>> response = call_http(
    ...     'http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/'
    ...     'ant@example.com/config/acceptable_aliases')
    >>> for alias in response['acceptable_aliases']:
    ...     print(alias)
    bar@example.net
    foo@example.com

The mailing list has its aliases set.

    >>> from mailman.interfaces.mailinglist import IAcceptableAliasSet
    >>> aliases = IAcceptableAliasSet(mlist)
    >>> for alias in sorted(aliases.aliases):
    ...     print(alias)
    bar@example.net
    foo@example.com
