[Mailman-Users] List name stripped from subject header - how to prevent/workaround this?

2007-01-26 Thread Jacob Sam-La Rose
(just realised my last message didn't have a subject...  Doh!)

Hi there,

I've recently configured a mailman mailing list.  Among other things,  
I've been thrown by the fact that any time I mention the name of the  
list in the subject: of an email, it gets stripped.  The public  
name for the list is FYI, the prefix for the subject line is FYI -  
and if I write FYI anywhere in the subject line, it's automatically  
removed.  I don't often mention the name of the list, but it'd be  
good to know what to do if I need to.

Thanks,

Jacob.//

[Mailman-Users] List security: approved line got mailed out to list users

2007-01-26 Thread Jacob Sam-La Rose
Hi.

I've got my list configured as an announcement-only list, and the  
first few mailings I've sent have gone through exactly as planned.  I  
use Approved: password as the first line to approve mailings.  I  
inadvertently sent email to the list from one of my other email  
addresses, and when the message went out, the Approved: line was  
there, intact.  There was a space above it, if that means anything  
(the sent email doesn't have that space...)

I changed the password - easily done, no security problems there.   
But I'd still like to know what could have allowed this to happen.   
Since then, I've set up a test list and tried to replicate the  
behaviour - thus far no success.  Anyone have any suggestions as to  
what might have happened?

Thanks,

 This moves the old logfiles to logfiles.0 and touches new logfiles.
 I'm assuming that the qrunners have to be restarted.  Anything else?
 
 
 Qrunners don't need to be restarted, just log files reopened
 
   /path/to/bin/mailmanctl reopen
 
 That should be sufficient.
 
Thanks much, Mark.  I used the mailmanctl reopen in the
/etc/logadm.conf file (with the full paths to everything---mandatory for
cron jobs) and let cron do its thing.

This morning, the logs are rotated and writing happily.

What Mailman version is this?

Do you have a copy of the message from the list - complete with all
headers? If nothing else, if the list is archived, this copy will be
in archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox.

How did the message get sent to the list? Was it held and manually
approved (a clue that something was wrong with Approved:).

Was the Approved: line that went to the list in the first text/plain
part of the message or was it in a subsequent part, e.g. an HTML
alternative part.

Approved: body lines must be the first non-blank line in the first
text/plain part of the message. If found there, they will be removed.
Beginning in Mailman 2.1.7, an attempt is made to remove the approved
line from other parts of the message, but it must first be found in
the first text/plain part, and this removal from other parts isn't
perfect.

So, based on what little I have to go on so far, I will guess that the
message you sent to the list was multipart/alternative with text/plain
and text/html alternative parts and the Approved: line was found in
and removed from the text/plain part and the message was accepted, but
either because this is Mailman prior to 2.1.7 or because of something
unusual about the way the Approved: line appeared in the html part, it
wasn't removed from that part and that's where people saw it.

 End original message. -

Are you certain of that?

It could be that the admin has a filter rule in place that duplicates 
the mail and makes it look like it is sent twice.

If it is indeed being sent twice, I would expect the messages to have 
different message IDs, the time sent may or may not be different. If 
the message IDs are the same on both copies, I would strongly suspect 
you are getting bit by a filter rule and Mailman is doing the right thing.

[Mailman-Users] Problem with explicit destination

2007-01-26 Thread Julia Frizzell
We have a few lists configured to accept all mail addressed to them,  
mainly as they are email addresses on our website set for people to  
make inquiries at.

We have the lists configured to use explicit destination, and reject  
anything that is not explicity sent to the list address.

However, some mail still gets through. For example, this came in:

 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But we're not alliancecoatings.com

Are the spammers forging list headers to allow the message to go  
through? If so, is there a way around this?

We're running Mailman 2.1.5 on Mac OS X 10.4 server.

[Mailman-Users] apache22 DocumenRoot

2007-01-26 Thread wo_shi_big_stomach
Greetings.

I'm relatively new to Apache2 and even newer to Mailman.

On FreeBSD 6.1, I installed Apache 2.2 and Mailman from ports. By
default, Apache's DocumentRoot is:

/usr/local/www/apache22/data

Mailman installs into:

/usr/local/mailman

My question: In the Apache httpd.conf file, what's the appropriate
Directory path so users see Mailman?

I thought of symlinking /usr/local/mailman under the DocumentRoot, but
I'm concerned about security implications of that.

What's the best way to set this up?

thanks!

OK. It is the same message. Did you check the filter rules in your
email client as Dragon suggests to be sure that they are not
responsible for duplicating the message?

Also, What is the contents of the list's owner and moderator
attributes. Are you or something that forwards to you listed twice?

Also, check for that Message-ID in Mailman's 'smtp' log and see how
many recipients it was sent to.

Just because the message-ids are exactly the same doesn't mean that 
this problem wasn't caused by filter rules.

Check your queue-ids.  That will tell you where the duplication is occurring.

What about Cc:?

If your list's  require_explicit_destination is set to Yes, a post
should be held if the list posting address or an address in the list's
acceptable_aliases does not appear in a To: or Cc: header of the post.

The only thing that would bypass this is an Approved: header with the
list's admin or moderator password.

If posts are not being held in your case, please provide Mailman
version, settings for require_explicit_destination and
acceptable_aliases, and the complete headers of the post, and we'll
try to figure it out.

 What about Cc:?

 If your list's  require_explicit_destination is set to Yes, a post
 should be held if the list posting address or an address in the list's
 acceptable_aliases does not appear in a To: or Cc: header of the post.

 The only thing that would bypass this is an Approved: header with the
 list's admin or moderator password.

 If posts are not being held in your case, please provide Mailman
 version, settings for require_explicit_destination and
 acceptable_aliases, and the complete headers of the post, and we'll
 try to figure it out.

OK, so it is probably NOT mailman causing this. Which is what I said earlier.

There is a very slim possibility of it being a configuration issue 
with Postfix but I doubt it. It's almost certain to be a MUA filter 
issue instead of an MTA issue.

Multiple occurrences of subject_prefix in the subject are replaced with
just one occurrence at the beginning of the subject to prevent 'build

If you configure subject_prefix with brackets (e.g. [FYI]) as is
conventionally done for prefixes, unbracketed FYI should not be
removed.

The owner notice and the user notice are different messages with
different Message-IDs.

Note that some notifications such as held message notifications are
sent twice and have two smtp log entries. The first send has one
recipient which is the list's -owner address, and this is followed by
the resend to the owners and moderators. This is not the case for
(un)subscribe notices however. Subscribe and unsubscribe owner notices
are sent directly to the owners and moderators without going through
the -owner address.

 Check your queue-ids.  That will tell you where the duplication is occurring.
What are queue-ids?  Are they something that a mailman admin

Where are you seeing the above headers? This appears to be some MUA's
rendering of the message, not the raw message headers. In a raw
message, the above headers would not precede the Received: headers.

Do you have access to the global mailbox in the list's archive? It is
the file archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox. If you don't
have direct access to the file, you may have a link to it on the
list's archive table of contents page, and even if not, you may be
able to access it via a URL like
http://example.com/mailman/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox.

What are the headers of this message in that file?

This causes the notice to be sent. This particular notice is sent to
both the owners and the moderators. You are listed twice - you get it
twice.

Some (very few, I don't remember which offhand) notices are sent to
owner only. Most are sent to owner and moderator. None are sent to
moderator only. Thus it makes no sense to list an address as both
owner and moderator and only results in duplicate notices.

Attempted to send a test message to my list.

ommand died with status 2: /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post
netoplist. Command output: Group mismatch error.  Mailman expected the
mail wrapper script to be executed as group nobody, but the system's mail
server executed the mail script as group mailman.  Try tweaking the mail
server to run the script as group nobody, or re-run configure,  providing
the command line option `--with-mail-gid=mailman'.

 How did the message get sent to the list? Was it held and manually
 approved (a clue that something was wrong with Approved:).

Sent as email straight to the list - didn't have to be manually  
approved - it went straight through.


 Was the Approved: line that went to the list in the first text/plain
 part of the message or was it in a subsequent part, e.g. an HTML
 alternative part.

It was in the first text/plain part - though in the sent version I've  
got of the mail, the Approved: line is the very first line.  Once it  
went through the list, there was a line space at the top of the  
email, before the Approved: line...


 Approved: body lines must be the first non-blank line in the first
 text/plain part of the message. If found there, they will be removed.
 Beginning in Mailman 2.1.7, an attempt is made to remove the approved
 line from other parts of the message, but it must first be found in
 the first text/plain part, and this removal from other parts isn't
 perfect.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Duplicate Subscribe/Unsubscribe Notifications

At 4:41 PM -0500 1/26/07, Alan McConnell wrote:

  Check your queue-ids.  That will tell you where the duplication is
  occurring.

   What are queue-ids?  Are they something that a mailman admin
   can see?  I have no access to any log files; they are available
   only to the sys-admins of my ISP.

The queue-ids are typically shown in the contents of the various 
Received: headers on each message.  They would also show up in the 
system logs for the mail server.  These logs may only be accessible 
to your mail server administrator -- they are outside of Mailman, and 
unfortunately not even the internal Mailman logs are available via 
the web.

For example, on the message I am responding to, this is a sample of 
the Received: headers I found:

Received: from bag.python.org (bag [127.0.0.1])
by bag.python.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 943801E4011

Received: from patriot.net ([EMAIL PROTECTED] [209.249.180.173])

Received: by patriot.net (Postfix, from userid 500)
id 8ABEC47587; Fri, 26 Jan 2007 16:41:37 -0500 (EST)

In each case, where it says id 8ABEC47587 or with ESMTP id 
l0QLgPrM022931, or something like that, the ids it is referring to 
are called queue ids.  If you are looking at the system log for the 
mail services on a given server, the only way you can typically tie 
in a given log entry to a given message is through the queue-ids. 
Looking in the system log file for postfix on this machine, the 
entries relevant to queue-id 943801E4011 are:

Jan 26 22:42:32 bag postfix/smtpd[27954]: 943801E4011: client=bag[127.0.0.1]
Jan 26 22:42:32 bag postfix/cleanup[28483]: 943801E4011: 
message-id=[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Jan 26 22:42:32 bag postfix/qmgr[27081]: 943801E4011: 
from=[EMAIL PROTECTED], size=2239, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Jan 26 22:42:32 bag postfix/local[28226]: 943801E4011: 
to=[EMAIL PROTECTED], 
orig_to=mailman-users@python.org, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent 
(delivered to command: /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post 
mailman-users)
Jan 26 22:42:32 bag postfix/qmgr[27081]: 943801E4011: removed

You see the message-id here once, but all the other log entries 
relative to this particular event are logged with only the date and 
the queue-id, as well as whatever other information was being logged. 
So, you need the queue-id in order to be able to tie them all 
together.

Now, these are not the only log entries for this message.  Because of 
the way the mail server on this machine is configured, it actually 
handles each message three times -- once on inbound (before scanning 
for spam and viruses), once on inbound (after scanning), and again 
after the message has gone through Mailman and is being sent out.

So, if we look for other log entries relative to this message-id, we 
find that we have to look at 992 different queue-ids, one for each of 
the subscribers on the outbound side, plus one on inbound (before 
scanning) and another on inbound (after scanning).  I'll spare you 
and not even show you the complete list of all the queue-ids in 
question, and of course I'd never show you the complete set of all 
those log entries.


Anyway, my point is this -- if you look at the headers of two 
messages that appear to be identical, you can look at the Received: 
headers to see if they really are identical.  If each and every 
queue-id in both messages are exactly the same, then there must have 
been some sort of duplication that occurred within your mail client 
or somewhere else outside of the normal SMTP Message Transfer Agent 
system.  If the queue-ids are identical up to a point but they 
diverge after that point, that tells you exactly where the message 
was somehow duplicated.

[Mailman-Users] Finding the recipients for a given archived email

2007-01-26 Thread Kelly Jones
I have a mailing list whose membership changes frequently. I want to
find out who received a two-month-old email in the archives. In other
words, I want to know the list membership at the time that message was
sent.

How can I do this?

I realize I could look at sendmail logs (if they went back that far),
but is there an pure Mailman way to do this?

I believe (not sure) that the vette(?) log keeps track of
subscribes/unsubscribes, so I could theoretically reconstruct the
list, starting with the current membership and working backward. Is
this possible? Is there an easier way?

If you are able to get that 'sent version' in its raw form, that would
be most useful.

You appear to be using Apple mail. You can view raw source via
View-Message-Raw source (option-command-U).

 Attempted to send a test message to my list.

 ommand died with status 2: /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post

 Is there something blindingly obvious that I'm missing?
 


 Maybe. Where did the netoptlist alias come from. Did Postfix find the
 alias somewhere else (maybe /etc/aliases*) either before or instead of
 Mailman's data/aliases*?

   
Nope-- I created that myself as a test list.

The other aliases file is owned by root:wheel.


My mistake, I got it backwards. Postfix is executing the wrapper as
mailman:mailman, the owner:group of the aliases. Mailman's wrapper is
expecting group 'nobody'.

You can't change the owner:group of the aliases or list creation won't
be able to update them. This means you need to reconfigure the wrapper
to expect group 'mailman' instead of 'nobody'. There is probably some
FreeBSD port magic way to do this, but I don't know what it is.

I have a mailing list whose membership changes frequently. I want to

I'm assuming you don't care about regular vs digest which you can't
track because changes aren't logged.

I believe (not sure) that the vette(?) log keeps track of
subscribes/unsubscribes, so I could theoretically reconstruct the
list, starting with the current membership and working backward. Is
this possible? Is there an easier way?


It's the subscribe log, but yes you can get the subscribes and
unsubscribes and work backwards. Address changes currently aren't
logged (they will be in 2.2), but that may not be significant for your
purpose.

No, I don't know an easier way unless you have a backup somewhere of
the list's config.pck from the date of interest. If you do, you could
use bin/dumpdb to get the information.
