pkgsrc changes:
- install the admin/www/mailman-*.{pdf,ps,txt} documentation file, and
change MESSAGES to point to mailman-install.txt
changes between 2.1.7 and 2.1.8rc1:
- A cross-site scripting hole in the private archive script of 2.1.7
has been closed. Thanks to Moritz Naumann for its discovery.
- Bouncers support added: 'unknown user', Microsoft SMTPSVC, Prodigy.net
and several others.
- Updated email library to 2.5.7 which will encode payload into qp/base64
upon setting. This enabled backing out the scrubber related patches
including 'X-Mailman-Scrubbed' header in 2.1.7.
- Fix SpamDetect.py potential hold/reject loop problem.
- A warning message from email package to the stderr can cause error
in Logging because stderr may be detached from the process during
the qrunner run. We chose not to output errors to stderr but to
the logs/error if the process is running under mailmanctl subprocess.
- DKIM header cleansing was separated from Cleanse.py and added to
-owner messages too.
- Fixes: Lose Topics when go directly to topics URL (1194419).
UnicodeError running bin/arch (1395683). edithtml.py missing import
(1400128). Bad escape in cleanarch. Wrong timezone in list archive
index pages (1433673). bin/arch fails with TypeError (1430236).
Subscription fails with some Language combinations (1435722).
Postfix delayed notification not recognized (863989). 2.1.7 (VERP)
mistakes delay notice for bounce (1421285). show_qfiles: 'str'
object has no attribute 'as_string' (1444447). Utils.get_domain()
wrong if VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW off (1275856).
PR pkg/22820.
Changes:
- Closed a cross-site scripting exploit in the create cgi script.
- Improvements in the performance of the bounce processor.
Now, instead of processing each bounce immediately (which
can cause severe lock contention), bounce events are queued.
Every 15 minutes by default, the queued bounce events are
processed en masse, on a list-per-list basis, so that each
list only needs to be locked once.
- When some or all of a message's recipients have temporary
delivery failures, the message is moved to a "retry" queue.
This queue wakes up occasionally and moves the file back to
the outgoing queue for attempted redelivery. This should
fix most observed OutgoingRunner 100% cpu consumption,
especially for bounces to local recipients when using the
Postfix MTA.
- Optional support for fsync()'ing qfile data after writing.
Under some catastrophic system failures (e.g. power lose),
it would be possible to lose messages because the data
wasn't sync'd to disk. By setting SYNC_AFTER_WRITE to True
in Mailman/Queue/Switchboard.py, you can force Mailman to
fsync() queue files after flushing them. The benefits are
debatable for most operating environments, and you must
ensure that your Python has the os.fsync() function defined
before enabling this feature (it isn't, even on all
Unix-like operating systems).

Maiman is a e-mail list manager. It includes a web interface for
management from a user (subscribe/unsuscribe) and administrator point
of view, as well as the traditionnal command-though-emails management.
It also offers web-browsable mailing-list archives.
