Mailman 2.1.11 is a cleanup of a few problems found since the release of Mailman 2.1.10. It fixes the issue of shunted email subscribe requests and a few minor issues. It updates the contrib/mmdsr script for some 2.1.10 and 2.1.11 log and error messages, and it adds a new cron to cull and optionally archive old entries in the 'bad' and 'shunt' queues.

She and others have spent some time gardening, tweaking and updating the wiki FAQ and it is now ready to take over as our definitive FAQ. Thanks Terri and everyone else who contributed to this effort! We'll keep the old FAQ wizard around so that existing links will continue to work. I've added a footer indicating that it is obsolete and pointing people at the wiki FAQ. I've also disabled write access to the FAQ wizard. Here's the new FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/display/DOC/Frequently+Asked+Questions There's also a link to this on the front page of the wiki: http://wiki.list.org Enjoy, - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAkhX9QwACgkQ2YZpQepbvXGDXQCgiBI4IXaBFgt9Wc+ZpjQc1zVN LzkAnRnOiqHrnk5KdoD6brqhmxFHag8e =2fZN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From mark at msapiro.net Mon Jun 23 21:48:47 2008 From: mark at msapiro.net (Mark Sapiro) Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2008 12:48:47 -0700 Subject: [Mailman-Announce] Mailman 2.1.11rc1 has been released Message-ID: <485FFE1F.9090407@msapiro.net> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am happy to announce the release of the second release candidate for Mailman 2.1.11.

Message-ID: <486930DE.6050202@msapiro.net> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am happy to announce the final release of the Mailman 2.1.11. Mailman 2.1.11 is a cleanup of a few problems found since the release of Mailman 2.1.10. It fixes the issue of shunted email subscribe requests and a few minor issues. It updates the contrib/mmdsr script for some 2.1.10 and 2.1.11 log and error messages, and it adds a new cron to cull and optionally archive old entries in the 'bad' and 'shunt' queues. Mailman 2.1.11 has updates to several i18n translations. A few bounce log messages now have the list name prepended. There is a new Defaults.py|mm_cfg.py setting ACCEPTABLE_LISTNAME_CHARACTERS with default value '[-+_.=a-z0-9]'. This Python regular expression character class specifies the characters allowed in list names. The motivation for this is the fact that previously, a list named, e.g., xxx&yyy could be created and MTA aliases generated that would cause the MTA to execute yyy as a command. There is a possible security issue here, but it is not believed to be exploitable in any meaningful way. If anyone is concerned about the security issue and not ready to upgrade, the mailman-2.1.11-listname-patch file contains a patch that can be applied to Mailman 2.1.9 or 2.1.10 to add this feature. See the release notes at for more details. Mailman is free software for managing email mailing lists and e-newsletters.
