Mailboxer: smtp2zope does not deliver mails
by Christoph Landwehr 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

Hi, I set up the mailboxer-produkt (ver 2.3.0 on Zope 2.6.1, python 2.1.3 with email-module) and added a mailboxer object . I realized that mails don’t get delivers to my mailboxer. To rule out any sendmail / alias problem I created file ‘my_mail’ containing a valid email (header and body) in my mailboxer-produkt folder. Than I called cat < my_mail | ./smtp2zope.py http://127.0.0.1:9080/some_folder/my_mailboxer_id/manage_mailboxer to deliver the mail via the smtp2zope-script to my mailboxer. File-permissions should be ok. I don’t’ get an error message but the mail does not get delivered to Zope either. Can someone give me a hint to where to look. Regards Christoph

Urgent: Severe problem
by Juan Lorenzana 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

To Zope, My name is Juan Lorenzana and I am a system administrator for an ISP in Brazil. They offer virtual servers and virtual hosting. The reason I am sending you this email is that one of our virtual hosting customer's web site is being flooded with requests that appear to be related to zope. An excerpt of the log files appear below: Access Log file: 168.226.70.160 - - [24/Sep/2003:11:34:50 -0600] "GET /put?ver=01&task=newzad&first=1 HTTP/1.1" 404 285 216.244.197.250 - - [24/Sep/2003:11:35:55 -0600] "GET /put?ver=01&task=newzad&first=1 HTTP/1.0" 404 273 200.63.144.150 - - [24/Sep/2003:11:36:10 -0600] "GET /put?ver=01&task=newzad&first=1 HTTP/1.0" 404 273 Error Log file: [Wed Sep 24 11:34:50 2003] [error] [client 168.226.70.160] File does not exist: /httpd/htdocs/put [Wed Sep 24 11:35:55 2003] [error] [client 216.244.197.250] File does not exist: /httpd/htdocs/put [Wed Sep 24 11:36:10 2003] [error] [client 200.63.144.150] File does not exist: /httpd/htdocs/put As you can see, this box is being hit by thousands of machines requesting a put file with variables similiar to the ones that released in your patch "CMFHotfix_20030908" found on your website at http://cmf.zope.org/download/CMFHotfix_20030908/announce-CMFHotfix_20030908 With a little help from google, we were able to track an instance where someone started experiencing these same put request and the fix pointed to your website for the CMFHotFix_20030908. The problem is that this virtual host customer is being hit by thousands of machines all trying to execute put? with ver=01&task=newzad&first= as arguments. I only included a 20 second snap shot fromthe log files, but we are receiving thousands of requests per second. The server is being overloaded and I had to throttle the server to keep it up. We do not know exactly what is going on, but suspect that someone, thousands of machines that use Zope are making put requests to this client. Not sure why or how,but we suspect that it has to do with zope and wanted to contact someone to see if they could help us address the issue. Currently we wrote a program that blackhole's every ip trying to connect. However, we have already blocked over 2000 ip addresses and they just keep coming. The log files are over 4 Gigs, and had we not throttled the server, they would probably be a lot bigger. Anyway, who can we talk to about finding out what is really happening and why. The URL of the site that is being hit is www.revistaprofashional.com.br If you can direct me to someone that can help, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

first-variables in a simple loop on a list

To create a unique list, you could create and call a simple Python script, something like this: # ASSUMING A PARAMETER CALLED 'mylist' mydict = {} for value in mylist: mydict[value] = 1 mylist = mydict.keys() return mylist

Zope, FreeBSD and core dump :(
by Sergey Volobuev 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

Hi, I am moving a site from my server (linux, python 2.1.3, zope 2.6.1) to hoster's machine (FreeBSD 4.x, Python 2.2.2, Zope 2.6.1 (2.6.2 tested too)) Site is accessed through Apache using mod_rewrite and VHM (at port 80) and also directly at port 8082. When i access some pages at mysite.com:80, i get === ERROR(200) zdaemon Process xxx terminated by signal SIGSERV(11) (core dumped) === and server restarts. In the browser i get Proxy Error: zero-sized reply. It never happens when i access mysite:8082. Sometimes i can access mysite:80 if i open and re-save one or another zpt through ZMI (mysite:8082) - the site remains accesible for several minutes until it dumps core again. And i noticed that some pages of the site doesn't cause server restart, and other pages did it very often. My site uses following products: PageTemplates, PythonScripts, OrderedFolder, TextIndexNG and Epoz. No CMF or Plone or whatever. There are zope/var/python.core file, but i am unfamiliar with gdb and can't get any useful info with it What is the possible causes of this segfaults? What can i do to narrow the problem? Thanks

Zope3 release date
by Florian Reiser 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

Hi folks, when looking at the Road map at dev.zope.org the release date for ZopeX3 is terminated on the 1st of September. If I look in the download area, there is still the milestone 3 available for download, but no final release of ZopeX3. As I'm eagerly watching the cvs changelog, I'm nervously waiting for ZopeX3, because of its charm in programming products. Does anybody know something about the real release date or about the things that have to be done first? I'm sorry that I can't help programming the new Zope, but I'm still not good enough at programming. For that I want to try to program some products for the new Zope and get into business with it. Regards Florian Reiser
