Thanks, Mark. I discovered that rdomain is a list and couldn't use it as-is, and I assumed that recip was a data structure other than a simple string and contained the subscriber name, but apparently it's only used as an index to look up the name. > Other than that, it looks OK assuming there is an appropriate md5crypt > module in Mailman's path. md5crypt is a Python module distributed, in Ubuntu and Mint at least, with the Landscape admin tool. It seems that crypt.crypt is limited to 8 characters in cleartext and is therefore mostly useful for passwords. Any function that will generate a hash of an arbitrarily long email address would do. A simpler, better choice might be hashlib.md5(recip).hexdigest(), and no need to mess with a salt, or a special purpose module. Strong security isn't an issue. I only need a one-way hash that's quick to generate and easily reproducible from cleartext. -- Lindsay Haisley | "The only unchanging certainty FMP Computer Services | is the certainty of change" 512-259-1190 | http://www.fmp.com | - Ancient wisdom, all cultures _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
