[Mailman-Users] Mailman CAS Authentication

2010-05-28 Thread Nathan A Trapp
After much research, I am rather stumped at how to modify the mailman 
authentication system. I was wondering if anyone could point me towards the 
right Python files to edit in order to implement an alternate authentication 
scheme (such as CAS) for mailman administrative login. I know I've seen the 
University of Washington page do this (see here 
http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/mailman/admin/aaivmail), but I have not had 
any such luck. 

Thanks for any advice I can gain.

The authentication itself is (almost) all in Mailman/SecurityManager.py
(verification of list member passwords in in the MemberAdaptor -
default Mailman/OldStyleMemberships.py).

The admin, admindb, user options and private archive login pages are
all generated on the fly by the respective Mailman/Cgi/*.py modules.

That's why I backed up and tried to clarify.  ;)

[Mailman-Users] automating batch cancellation..

2010-05-28 Thread Khalil Abbas

hello,

 

I'm running 6 mailing lists and having a hard time with cancellation requestes, 
for I have one email address : can...@mydomain and then I collect all addresses 
in the mailbox and remove them from all the 6 lists manually ..

 

now if I changed this can...@mydomain email to act as a forwarder to the 6 
cancellation addresses of the 6 lists, so each incoming email gets distributed 
to :

 

list1-le...@mydomain

list2-le...@mydomain

list3-le...@mydomain

list4-le...@mydomain

list5-le...@mydomain

list6-le...@mydomain

 

will it work this way ??

 

please advise..

 

Thanks..

It will work, but each email to can...@mydomain will result in 6 emails
back to the sender. One of these will be a request to confirm
unsubscription from the list of which the sender is a member and the
other 5 will be results of your email commands messages saying the
sender is not a member of the list.

I suspect that in practice it won't work because the user will be
confused by all the emails and will fail to respond to the one email
that requires response and thus won't be unsubscribed anyway.

[Mailman-Users] How do you use mailman mailing list archives?

2010-05-28 Thread Terri Oda

Hi all!

We've got 3 students working on improved archives for Mailman as part of 
 Google Summer of Code this year, and before they start writing code 
we'd like to gather some data on how people really use the archives.  If 
you have a minute, it'd help us a whole lot if you could fill out this 
survey to tell us how you use the existing archives and how you'd like 
to use them:


http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dF9XcGRsYUpsOUtxYjBWRUdnVXN4X1E6MQ

I know I'm always inundated with survey requests, but I promise this one 
will help us create Archives Of The Future. ;)  Seriously, this should 
lead to more usable and useful Mailman archives, and who doesn't want 
that?  Feel free to pass it around to anyone else who might want to 
help, and if you have any questions or concerns please contact me.


 Terri
