Changes:
- Close some cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in the admin pages
(CAN-2003-0965).
- New languages: Catalan, Croatian, Romanian, Slovenian.
- New mm_cfg.py/Defaults.py variable PUBLIC_MBOX which allows the site
administrator to disable public access to all the raw list mbox files
(this is not a per-list configuration).
- Expanded header filter rules under Privacy -> Spam Filters. Now you can
specify regular expression matches against any header, with specific
actions tied to those matches.
- Rework the SMTP error handling in SMTPDirect.py to avoid scoring bounces
for all recipients when a permanent error code is returned by the mail
server (e.g. because of content restrictions).
- Promoted SYNC_AFTER_WRITE to a Default.py/mm_cfg.py variable and
make it control syncing on the config.pck file. Also, we always flush
and sync message files.
- Reduce archive bloat by not storing the HTML body of Article objects in
the Pipermail database. A new script bin/rb-archfix was added to clean
up older archives.
- Proper RFC quoting for List-ID descriptions.
- PKGDIR can be passed to the make command in order to specify a different
directory to unpack the distutils packages in misc. (SF bug 784700).
- Improved logging of the origin of subscription requests.
- Misc bugfixes.
Allow for not using a CGI extension (no extension was the pkgsrc default
for the previous mailman version, and forcing to add one seems like just
a gratuitous change).
Record BUILD_DEFS. (XXX: All these should be documented, too.)
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).

directories too, and having both will cause the directories to be created with
the wrong owner/mode.
Thanks to Marc Recht for giving me details on this.
have it be automatically included by bsd.pkg.mk if USE_PKGINSTALL is set
to "YES". This enforces the requirement that bsd.pkg.install.mk be
included at the end of a package Makefile. Idea suggested by Julio M.
Merino Vidal <jmmv at menta.net>.
extension Makefile fragments, because they really don't have anything to
do with the buildlink[12] frameworks. Change all the Makefiles that use
application.buildlink.mk and extension.buildlink.mk to use application.mk
and extension.mk instead.
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.
