The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[BJ Walraven <address@concealed>]

Hello,

I'm running Sympa 6.1.2 on CentOS 5.3 (x64).  I recently upgraded from Sympa 6.0.1.

Since the upgrade, I've had a puzzling issue.  I have several lists that use as their authorization scenarios SMTP auth for list members.  An example scenario would be:

 

title.gettext Private, requires confirmation

 

is_subscriber([listname],[sender])             md5,smime,dkim    -> do_it
is_editor([listname],[sender])                 md5,smime,dkim    -> do_it
is_owner([listname],[sender])                  md5,smime,dkim    -> do_it

is_subscriber([listname],[sender])             smtp       -> request_auth
is_editor([listname],[sender])                 smtp       -> request_auth
is_owner([listname],[sender])                  smtp       -> request_auth

This scenario (minus the ',dkim', which I've tried this scenario in 6.1.2 with and without the ',dkim') works fine in 6.0.1.  If a user is logged in to the wwsympa interface and sends a message, it goes immediately if they are a subscriber, editor, or owner.  If a user sends a message to the list via smtp, they receive a confirmation request if they are a subscriber, editor, or owner.  However, if they send to the list via smtp and they are not a subscriber, editor, or owner, the message is rejected.

 

However, since the upgrade, everyone seems to be a subscriber, editor, or owner, as they receive a confirmation request and can send to the list.

 

The telltale log I've found thus far is:

 

wwsympa[27146]: err List::get_subscriber() Unable to retrieve information from database for user <invalid_sender_email_address>

 

followed by:

 

Message for <listname> from <invalid_sender_email_address> kept for authentication with key <MD5_HASH>

 

I've got two questions:

1. Is anyone else seeing this?

2. Has anyone located where the bug is?  It appears the old List::get_subscriber function always returned a $user, but the new one calls List::get_subscriber_no_object, which can return undef(ined).

 

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
