FYI: MailBoxer 2.2.6

Hi to all, I've just released MailBoxer 2.2.6 which fixes a critical bug when MailBoxer is used for moderated lists. What is a MailBoxer? -------------------- MailBoxer is a lightweight ZOPE-Product to run mailinglists, newsletters and mailarchives. Its main idea is to give you an extensible framework for building mailinglist-based applications with the power of ZOPE. Out of the box it provides a full featured mailinglist/ newsletter/ mailarchiving-framework. The German Zope User Group runs all mailinglists with MailBoxer. Changes ------- * added a keepdate-parameter. Useful if you want to import mailarchives with MailBoxer. Thanks to Eric Barroca! * fixed critical bug: a cc to a moderated list produced a mail-loop. Thanks to Sebastian Hoffmann. Download -------- http://zoped.de/MailBoxer Demo ---- Do you want to the a mirror of the zope(a)zope.org-mailinglist? http://www.dzug.org/mailinglisten/zope-org-zope/ Features -------- * MailBoxer is easy to use and to configure and can handle mime-encoded mails with attachments. * People can subscribe/unsubscribe your list by sending an "signed" email with a specified email-subject (not body!!!) to the same address where the postings will go. No more hazzles with passwords and unsubscriptions. * You can customize and disable subscription and unsubscription. * All mailinglists can be moderated. * Mails can be archived (even with attachments) by a combination of dates & threads with customizable set of headers. * User-friendly archive with powerful search-interface and a "one-thread-one-screen"-view with snipped signatures etc. * By defining a spamlist, dirty content or misconfigured vacation-notifications can be identified and will not be forwarded by MailBoxer. * MailBoxer can convert all mails to plain-text and strip of attachments if you have read enough HTML-Mails and useless attachments. * MailBoxer provides automatic bounce-detection and a management-interface for bounced addresses. * MailBoxer talks directly to your SMTP-Server. This is very fast compared using the standard MailHost.send-method (no more overhead for connecting & closing the channel every time you send a mail). It should be fast enough for even large lists. * MailBoxer provides many hooks to integrate it into your own Zope-applications. Cheers, Maik

Zope.org migration
by BZ 05 Aug '03

05 Aug '03

It seems like the Zope.org migration is very painful as it has been spitting out errors since last night. Is there anyway they can go back to the old look until it is working correctly? It just looks very bad for Zope to have the main site giving errors for so long. BZ

filefield value when empty
by Marie Robichon 05 Aug '03

05 Aug '03

Hi everyone, I figured this one out for myself and thought maybe someone would be interested in the answer. I found that even when no value is added to the field using the browse button, (and even despite defining a default value) the REQUEST shows a 'FileUpload instance object'. Therefore you have to check that the filename attribute of this fileupload instance object is empty: if getattr(file, 'filename')!="": do something ........ Hope this can be helpful to someone, Marie

How to unsubscribe
by Igor Leturia 05 Aug '03

05 Aug '03

Hi all! As I am going to change my e-mail address, I want to unsubscribe from this list. The problem is that I can't, if I click in the link that appears at the bottom of the messages of the list (http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope) the other zope lists appear, but not this one (it says "no such list zope"), so I don't know how to unsubscribe... Any ideas? Igor Leturia

Hello all, I added a ZWiki to my site, but there wasn't an option to create an acl_users object in its directory when I added it. There isn't an option in the "add object drop-down list" --How can I add an acl_users object to it's directory? Thanks, Gordon

The code I gave will do exactly the same thing but just won't call the result ;-) Chris
