2.1.18 (03-May-2014)
Dependencies
- There is a new dependency associated with the new Privacy options ->
Sender filters -> dmarc_moderation_action feature discussed below.
This requires that the dnspython <http://www.dnspython.org/> package
be available in Python. This package can be downloaded from the above
site or from the CheeseShop <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dnspython/>
or installed with pip.
New Features
- The from_is_list feature introduced in 2.1.16 is now unconditionally
available to list owners. There is also, a new Privacy options ->
Sender filters -> dmarc_moderation_action feature which applies to list
messages where the From: address is in a domain which publishes a DMARC
policy of reject or possibly quarantine. This is a list setting with
values of Accept, Wrap Message, Munge From, Reject or Discard. There is
a new DEFAULT_DMARC_MODERATION_ACTION configuration setting to set the
default for this, and the list admin UI is not able to set an action
which is 'less' than the default. The prior ALLOW_FROM_IS_LIST setting
has been removed and is effectively always Yes. There is a new
dmarc_quarantine_moderation_action list setting with default set by a
new DEFAULT_DMARC_QUARANTINE_MODERATION_ACTION configuration setting
which in turn defaults to Yes. The list setting can be set to No to
exclude domains with DMARC policy of quarantine from
dmarc_moderation_action.
dmarc_moderation_action and from_is_list interact in the following way.
If the message is From: a domain to which dmarc_moderation_action applies
and if dmarc_moderation_action is other than Accept,
dmarc_moderation_action applies to that message. Otherwise the
from_is_list action applies.
Also associated with dmarc_moderation_action are configuration settings
DMARC_RESOLVER_TIMEOUT and DMARC_RESOLVER_LIFETIME. These are described
in more detail in Defaults.py. There are also new vette log entries
written when dmarc_moderation_action is found to apply to a post.

Bug Fixes and other patches
- Removed HTML tags from the title of a couple of rmlist.py pages because
browsers don't render tags in the title. (LP: #265848)
- Most Mailman generated notices to list owners and moderators are now
sent as Precedence: list instead of bulk. (LP: #1313146)

from_is_list action. (LP: #1313010)

the outgoing message and not in archives, digests and messages sent via
the usenet gateway. (LP: #1311431)
- Fixed a long standing issue in which a notice sent to a user whose
language is other than that of the list can cause subsequent things
which should be in the list's language to be in the user's language
instead. (LP: #1308655)
- Fixed the admin Membership List so a search string if any is not lost
when visiting subsequent fragments of a chunked list. (LP: #1307454)

original From: has no display name and strip domain part from resultant

the usage message. (LP: #1291038)
- Fixed a bug in ListAdmin._handlepost that would crash when trying to
preserve a held message for the site admin if HOLD_MESSAGES_AS_PICKLES
