Religious as in there are strongly-held beliefs on both sides, but only
one is really based in logic and common sense? :)

Yes, it's Reply-To: that people get defensive about changing, but...

... that isn't really the point. People *do* talk about 'freedom', but
it's the freedom to have their mail client actually do as they ask it. 

A mail client has a private 'Reply' button, and a public 'Reply All'
button. Each has a clear and simple function.

If the list abuses the Reply-To: field, that overrides the behaviour of
the private Reply button, hijacking it to send a public reply to the
list. So the recipients' freedom is taken away from them ? it's like
breaking into their computer and hacking their mail client so that
*both* buttons do the same thing ? occasionally leading to a *highly*
embarrassing event when private emails are accidentally sent to the
list.

If the list *doesn't* abuse the Reply-To: field, then the mail client
does the right thing. The private Reply, and the public Reply All
buttons, both do precisely what they should.

The main reason people advocate for munging Reply-To: is usually that
"list members are too dim to press the right button".

Which aside from being fairly insulting, is kind of a self-fulfilling
prophecy ? because for those who genuinely are that unsophisticated, by
hacking their mail clients to behave inconsistently, you actually
*reduce* their chances of understanding it all. The private/public reply
button concept is *so* simple, that I'd suggest the *main* reason people
have problems with it is because of misguided Reply-To: headers changing
the behaviour and making it inconsistent.

It should also be noted that the failure mode when you do the hack can
sometimes be catastrophic, as public postings can never be undone. The
failure mode if someone accidentally hits the wrong button, as well as
being entirely their own fault, is very minor ? all they need to do is
resend the message.

And in the general case, if someone isn't *even* paying enough attention
to press the right button, sometimes there is *benefit* in having their
messages not reach the list until the coffee has kicked in and they're a
little more awake. They can edit the message before they resend it :)

There is little benefit in a Reply-To: header, and it is actually
*counter-productive* in the long run for the one case where it has any
dubious logic at all.

Ah, thank you, all makes sense now. If you change the first option to 
YES then nobody else's quirky reply-to headers will get into the list, 
and the second option remains as is (it should be setting the standard 
@mailinglists reply-to field) - this should solve the duplication issue, 
but if it is disagreeable to anyone, more consideration is needed.

Thanks again Mike for the list maintenance and the quick replies!

 For what it is worth, the move to mailinglists.sqlite.org is a result of
 the Mailman web interface having to be hosted under the following two
 constraints:

 1. It must be on port 80
 2. It cannot be on sqlite.org port 80

 I explained this reasoning in a previous email. The short version is
 because we are using two web servers on the VM that hosts both the
 sqlite.org website and fossil repos (althttpd) and the Mailman web
 interface (Apache). We previously did this on a single IP where mailman
 was
 on port 8080. However, we had a significant number of complaints from
 people who could not reach the Mailman web interface via sqlite.org:8080
 due to firewall restrictions in their respective locations. So we did
 what
 we could to move it to port 80.

 So to satisfy these two constraints, mailinglists.sqlite.org was born.
 Unless somebody else knows better, Mailman does not allow one to use two
 domains for a given list. Either something will screw up with the mail
 routing or in the web interface if you try to use more than one. You have
 to pick one domain and stick with it. Thus I could not continue to
 support
 both the previous sqlite.org (:8080) domain and the new
 mailinglists.sqlite.org (:80) for the users list. So I made the move
 from
 the one to the other.

 Regarding the reply-to policy. I honestly don't remember the reasoning
 behind it. I know there was a big long discussion about it in the past
 (search the list) and after the dust settled we chose the current policy
 and that is the way it is configured today.  I do believe the policy was
 a
 result of the consensus of the mailing list users. I can say that we do
 everything we can to make most of the people happy most of the time. That
 is the very reason we made this change to begin with -- to make it
 possible
 for everyone to use the list. It would have been easier to just keep
 things
 the same and let the people who can't reach port 8080 deal with it, but
 we
 did what we had to to make it accessible for them as well. There are a
 lot
 of variables in the system and we juggle them as best we can.

 Any feedback or suggestions are always welcome.

I see where you are coming from, but if the Reply-To field contains 2 
email addresses and then the server penalizes you for using one of them, 
that might go down in history as the most-evil mailing-list quirk of all 
time.

As to Mike's post - the dual mailing-list's reason for being is very 
clear and welcomed, no qualms there, just the Reply-to duplication that 
is quirky. I read all forum emails, I do not recall any multi-person 
decision to add this dual Reply-To thing, however memory is not my 
strength so I'm happy with the explanation - but I am wondering - is 
this done and dusted? Is there any chance we might re-open the 
discussion now that real-World scenarios have set in?

It's an extremely minor irritation and will cause a few extra 
mail-traffic items at its worst - the only real casualty being my OCD, 
but I can't help thinking there is not a single good reason to keep the 
situation (unless someone can show the opposite).

The problem is that this is the very bone of contention in the reply-to
religious war. Is it not? I may be wrong, but I thought this is the very
setting that people get so defensive about changing. As we have it now,
people have a suitable default pointing back to the (correct) list but also
the freedom to change the reply-to header should they want to. If we strip

It is. As mentioned above, the explicit reply-to header is empty. I think
some people's MUA's are doing this. I just answered an off-list email from
somebody and the reply to was set to the sqlite-users at sqlite.org email,
which makes me think it is the MUA and not Mailman.

So in that case, still have the SQLite mail server reject messages to the old 
list rather than forwarding them, and let the problematic MUAs deal with it. 
The key thing is that by not forwarding but rejecting, the mail server isn't 
sending out 2 copies of messages directly, and the rejecting is reminding 
people 
to pay attention until the issue as a consequence goes away.  Thus any explicit 
Reply-To headers can be left unmunged by the list server. -- Darren Duncan

A benefit of my proposal is, if implemented, the instances of other people's 
explicit reply-to headers to sqlite-users at sqlite.org will disappear very 
quickly, as the messages they are replying to will be ones propagated through 
the list after the change rather than before. -- Darren Duncan

For clarity, here is the currently policy for Reply-to as it is set in
Mailman:


   - Should any existing Reply-To: header found in the original message be
   stripped? If so, this will be done regardless of whether an explict
   Reply-To: header is added by Mailman or not. : *NO*
   - Where are replies to list messages directed? *This list*

As near as I can tell, the Reply-To header from this list only contains 
sqlite-users at mailinglists.sqlite.org and does not also contain 
sqlite-users at sqlite.org so therefore I don't see the problem you're stating. 
But if it sometimes does so, then the list manager needs to ensure that 
sqlite-users at sqlite.org is never in the Reply-To header of messages from the

[sqlite] List duplication

2015-03-02 Thread R.Smith
Ok, I've found the source of the list duplications.

Some emails (Such as the one by J.K. Lowden 2-March-2015 re: Characters 
corrupt after importing...) contains a "Reply-To" field in the header 
with both list addresses which must have sneaked in there due to some 
automatic list feature.  (By "Both" I mean the old: 
sqlite-users at sqlite.org and the new: sqlite-users at mailinglists.sqlite.org)

I usually use the "Reply to List" button (Thunderbird) which replies 
correctly, but if you only hit the "Reply to" button then BOTH addresses 
are inserted in the "To:" field of the message to be sent - which of 
course results in the duplication (Such as the duplicated message from 
H. Gunter in reply to the message above).

An astute eye might catch this and remove a reference, but mostly nobody 
cares to study the things that should work automatically - and they 
shouldn't need to.

May I ask the list admin to see if any mention of the old list email 
address in automatic message body generated text still lingers and can 
be gotten rid of?

Thank you kindly!
Ryan





[sqlite] List duplication

2015-03-02 Thread Mike Owens
For what it is worth, the move to mailinglists.sqlite.org is a result of
the Mailman web interface having to be hosted under the following two
constraints:

1. It must be on port 80
2. It cannot be on sqlite.org port 80

I explained this reasoning in a previous email. The short version is
because we are using two web servers on the VM that hosts both the
sqlite.org website and fossil repos (althttpd) and the Mailman web
interface (Apache). We previously did this on a single IP where mailman was
on port 8080. However, we had a significant number of complaints from
people who could not reach the Mailman web interface via sqlite.org:8080
due to firewall restrictions in their respective locations. So we did what
we could to move it to port 80.

So to satisfy these two constraints, mailinglists.sqlite.org was born.
Unless somebody else knows better, Mailman does not allow one to use two
domains for a given list. Either something will screw up with the mail
routing or in the web interface if you try to use more than one. You have
to pick one domain and stick with it. Thus I could not continue to support
both the previous sqlite.org (:8080) domain and the new
mailinglists.sqlite.org (:80) for the users list. So I made the move from
the one to the other.

Regarding the reply-to policy. I honestly don't remember the reasoning
behind it. I know there was a big long discussion about it in the past
(search the list) and after the dust settled we chose the current policy
and that is the way it is configured today.  I do believe the policy was a
result of the consensus of the mailing list users. I can say that we do
everything we can to make most of the people happy most of the time. That
is the very reason we made this change to begin with -- to make it possible
for everyone to use the list. It would have been easier to just keep things
the same and let the people who can't reach port 8080 deal with it, but we
did what we had to to make it accessible for them as well. There are a lot
of variables in the system and we juggle them as best we can.

Any feedback or suggestions are always welcome.

You don't need that, do you? Just hitting Reply All to a message which
is:
 To: sqlite-users at sqlite.org
 Reply-To: sqlite-users at mailinglists.sqlite.org

would generate a message which ends up going to both, wouldn't it?

That's ironic.

The problem here is the Reply-To: setting on the mailing list.

If a user hits 'Reply' on a message, that should always go to the sender
of the message they're looking at.

If a user hits 'Reply to All' on a message, *that* should go to
everyone.

This list has a 'Reply-To' header which hijacks the private reply so
that it goes to the list... which a lot of list admins do precisely
because they *don't* want their users to have to think at all, because
they assume their users are so dim that they can't even manage to
correctly choose between the private 'Reply' button and the public
'Reply All' button that's *right* next to it.

(To be fair, there's often a lot of truth in that assumption, but it's
largely a self-fulfilling prophecy because although things *should* be
simple, a lot of people are confused by what is *not* inconsistent
behaviour of the private "Reply" button which ought to *always* give a
private reply and is now just confusing because of this misguided
attempt to make things simpler.)

So what happens here is people do the right thing and hit 'Reply All' to
reply publicly, and that misguided Reply-To: header is corrupting the
behaviour so that their reply goes *both* to the added Reply-To: address
'sqlite-users at mailinglists.sqlite.org' *and* to the address which was in
the To: or Cc: of the previous message, 'sqlite-users at sqlite.org'.

So the only reason people now have to pay careful attention to the
recipients in their reply is because the list "helpfully" hacks
things... ostensibly so that they *don't* have to pay attention to what
they're doing. Nice :)

I assert that it's nothing to do with the -dev list.

The dupes I've had here are because people are sending to sqlite-users at

My comment on "whoever" is meant to be plural.

I think as a general principle that whenever people reply to list messages, 
they 
look at the headers of the message they are writing and make sure the list 
doesn't appear twice in the recipients field.

If the result of hitting reply or reply-all to some message in a client puts 
the 
same recipient in the address bar twice, then the users should remove the extra 
copies, that's what I do, it can be simple as that.

I don't think it is someone specific, I've seen these from many people - 
I think it has to do with the way the reply-to field is interpreted 
and/or the way mail clients interpret it when you hit the "Reply" or 
"Reply-to-List" buttons.  I'm using an up-to-date Mozilla Thunderbird 
client which seems to avoid the issue (unless I am not seeing my own 
duplicates).

I find it hard to imagine that suddenly many list users changed the way 
they respond to forum emails. The culprit is more likely a change in 
some underlying system set-up.

Indeed I did heed your advice earlier regarding this, and will check - 
it's just that I've already deleted all duplicated messages (due to 
OCD), so as soon as the next duplications arrive, I will confirm the IDs 
and be sure to report back.
Thanks!

Ah, I think this is the answer probably. Maybe people hitting the "reply 
to all" or such and it copies across lists.  Simon is possibly not 
subscribed to both, hence not getting duplicates.

Might this be fixed with a reply-to on list headers adjustment?

I confirm that I am not subscribed to the -dev list.

Can you tell me whether duplicate messages have the same or different 
message-id headers ?  Email clients are meant to identify messages with the 
same message-id as the same message.  But sometimes mailing lists break and put 
different IDs on the same message sent through different routes.

Simon.

Hi all,

Just a quick question, I've been getting duplicated mails via the forum. 
It seems very random, roughly 1 in 4 mails I receive in duplicate. Has 
anyone else been getting duplicate mails?

It's not a biggie, I just delete the duplicates. Also, it might be my 
email settings or setup being the culprit - if anyone has an idea what I 
might check, it will be most helpful - thanks.

Not me.

Check back on the message-id and received headers of two duplicates.  Do they 
have different message-id headers ?

Simon.

I'm seeing a lot of message duplication too, but the ones I see are due to 
someone putting the list address twice as a recipient.

For example a bunch of the "PhD student" messages say "To" 
sqlite-users at mailinglists.sqlite.org plus "Cc" sqlite-users at sqlite.org .

But both of those are aliases for the same list.

Whoever is doing this, sending your messages to both, please stop, just send to 
one, and then people would get one copy.

I've not been having problems with duplicates, but I have been randomly
having commoners end up in my spam bucket for one reason or another over
the last 48 hours or so.  I've specifically set a filter in GMail that if
anything comes in for this mailing list to NOT go to spam, yet

I've seen it too.  All of the duplicate messages appear to have been sent to 
both sqlite-dev at mailinglists.sqlite.org and sqlite-dev at sqlite.org or to 
both sqlite-usersmailinglists.sqlite.org and sqlite-users at sqlite.org.
