Binary package hint: mailman
Scenario:
When we send an email to a mailing list in either To: or Cc: header and an address in Cc header with unquoted display name, mailman breaks that into couple of addresses. For example:
To: user1@domain1.com
Cc: mailing-list@domain1.com, display name <address@domain1.com>
It becomes:
Cc: mailing-list@domain1.com, display, name <address@domain1.com>
This is wrong because "display" becomes a different address. There seems to be bug in /usr/lib/mailman/pythonlib/email/_parseaddr.py.
Same bug is reported in Debian and Redhat as well for 2.1.9 version of mailman.

TEST CASE:
Using a standalone mailman + postfix setup on Hardy I have been able to reproduce using the following procedure:
Install postfix and configure as final destination for <hostname>.example.com
Setup three users (user1, user2 and user3)
Install mailman and setup default (mailman) and test-list (with user1 as list owner) list.
Configure Apache to allow administration of mail lists
Install and configure dovecot for local mail delivery.
Add user2 to the test-list mail list using the administration screens
Using the attached email (test.txt), simulate the offending use case using the following command using the user1 account:
telnet localhost 25 < test.txt
Address for user three will break into two email addresses

|
IMPACT:
The version of mail in 8.04 does not parse email addresses which are broken over a '\n' correctly; as a result two emails are generated by the AvoidDuplicates handler which is not correct:
Cc sent in email:
Cc: test-list@hardy-mailman.example.com, "user two" <user2@hardy-mailman.example.com>, user
three <user3@hardy-mailman.example.com>
Cc generated by AvoidDuplicates handler:
Cc: three <user3@hardy-mailman.example.com>,
test-list@hardy-mailman.example.com, user@hardy-mailman.example.com
This is due to a bug in the bundled version (2.5.8) of the Python email package that is distributed with this version of mailman.
FIX:
The _parseaddr.py function has been extracted from the bundled version of the Python email package and patched to resolve this issue. This brings this function in-line with later versions of Python.
This file resides in the debian directory is overlaid on-top of the extracted tar.gz during the package build process.
In actual fact the version of Python distributed on 8.04 already contains this fix; however I believe this approach is the least risk as it is the most light touch.

REGRESSION POTENTIAL:
If other functions within mailman work around this bug they may be impacted by this fix. Due to the bundling of this package the impact should be limited to the mailman application.
