Implementing the google captcha solution to Mailman a week or so ago stopped it
dead. For now...
Hi Jim,
Interesting, and thanks for posting.
Can you please describe, briefly, as an overview only, what that interface is
like?
I'm sure I can look up details, but, well, "details matter!" (And
I don't mean the nitty gritty of installation or whatever.) I'm
interested in implementation overview in how that relates to the
user's experience - I already know what 'captcha' is like! We're
talking web interface details, right?
Thanks,
Richard
Hello Richard,
It was ddewey that mentioned the captcha. I am interested in
implementing it and googled it - found things from about 10 years
ago, and mailman post from 2017. I have mailman version 2.1.39 on a
VPS hosted server (with WHM and CPanel) with root privileges, though
not sure I have the chutzpa to install it. Could give it a try I
suppose.
The mailman post was
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2017-December/082820.html
for 2.1.39 (same as I'm running) it's built-in. No need to install
any python modules (I didn't, on a RHEL 7 instance).
Apply for the (very important) v2 captcha keys from Google. Add the
following 2 keys to the end of your mm_cfg.py:
RECAPTCHA_SITE_KEY =
RECAPTCHA_SECRET_KEY = xxx
If you have not modified your list_info files, you're done. If you
have, then you'll need to add the tags from that above post to your
list_info files.
I've started getting these spamming attacks again so thought I would dive into trying this recaptcha. I got the keys for
V2 recaptcha from google and put the 2 lines at the bottom of the mm_cfg.py with proper keys from google. Spelling
double checked. After saving the file, I can't log into the web interface of mailman - I get a Bad Request error page. I
commented out the RECAPTCHA_*_* lines and could then access the admin web pages again.
David wrote that if I modified the list_info files then I needed to add something to them. As far as modifying them, I
did add a paragraph description to the "Details for info" and the description under the General Options section of the
web admin pages. What would I add and to which files? I don't see list_info under
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/Mailman/ .
Any advice? thanks, Jim
