I have started contributing in GNU Mailman for quite some time now and a some Introduction is required so. My name is Aaryan Bhagat a 2nd Year Computer Science Undergraduate studying in Indian Institute of Technology Kharagur.
github-link---"https://github.com/berserker1"; gitlab-link----"https://gitlab.com/berserker1?nav_source=navbar"; I will be focusing on the project idea "Add support for bounce processing in Core". I feel comfortable in this area and have undertook some research in this also meanwhile. DISCUSSION FOR THE IDEA---------------------------------- Currently I have read the source code regarding bounce runner and various files. What I have gathered of all the bounce configuration files is this (Summary below if you want to skip) : >File `bounce.py` in `mailman/src/mailman/interfaces` is an interface file >which defines various class of bounce functions. >File `bounce.py` in `mailman/src/mailman/model` is a model file for various >functions. >File `bounce.py` in `mailman/src/mailman/runners/bounce.py` runs the `bounce >runner` info read about the runners in the docs. >File `bounces.rst` in `mailman/src/mailman/app/docs/bounces.rst` shows how a >bounce message is generated and send to the original sender , how you can also >send the error reasons in a dict and it will all be showed to the sender in an >organized way. >File `bounce.rst` in `mailman/src/mailman/model/docs` shows how a bounce >event is registered , it stores various info . >File `test_bounces.py` in `mailman/src/mailman/app/tests` tests the >`app.bounces` functions. >File `test_bounce.py` in `mailman/src/mailman/model/tests` tests the `bounce >model objects` . >File `test_bounce.py` in `mailman/src/mailman/runners/tests` tests the `bounce >runners`. SUMMARY------- What I can summarize is the method of detecting bounces, registering events, sending mail bounce message to the sender and all other data gathering events are complete.(Also mentioned in the proposal but I had to go though to understand the code otherwise I could not move on). I have also read the Mailman 2.1.xx method of processing bounce addresses. Important docs I have read ----- Bounces in mailman3 ------------ "https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/model/docs/bounce.html"; Bounce Processing of Mailman 2.1( Sub topic here ) ---------- "https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Mailman%202.1%20List%20Administrators%20Manual?highlight=%28Bounce%29"; Runners in Mailman3 ------------------------ "https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/runners/docs/incoming.html"; QUESTIONS Q1--- What should be my implementation of processing bounces? Same as previous Mailman or some new ideas. (I am researching this but also need pointers from other contributors!) Q2--- Some crucial info I missed or overlooked please point out and guide me in the right direction for this. If any imp doc I missed please share the link. I believe implementation on this is not trivial and suitable amount of discussion is required for making anything final. I hope to contribute to this org as long as possible(GSoC or No GSoC). It has really sparked my interest. _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list -- mailman-developers@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-developers-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-developers.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: https://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: https://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
