Mailing list configuration
==========================

Mailing lists can be configured via the REST API.

    >>> mlist = create_list('ant@example.com')
    >>> transaction.commit()


Reading a configuration

Changing the full configuration
===============================

Not all of the readable attributes can be set through the web interface.  The
ones that can, can either be set via ``PUT`` or ``PATCH``.  ``PUT`` changes
all the writable attributes in one request.

When using ``PUT``, all writable attributes must be included.

Changing a partial configuration
================================

Using ``PATCH``, you can change just one attribute.

    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/'
    ...           'ant@example.com/config',
    ...           dict(display_name='My List'),
    ...           'PATCH')
    content-length: 0
    date: ...
    server: ...
    status: 204

These values are changed permanently.

    >>> print(mlist.display_name)
    My List


Sub-resources
=============

Mailing list configuration variables are actually available as sub-resources
on the mailing list.  Their values can be retrieved and set through the
sub-resource.


Simple resources
----------------

You can view the current value of the sub-resource.

    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant.example.com'
    ...           '/config/display_name')
    display_name: My List
    http_etag: ...

The resource can be changed by PUTting to it.  Note that the value still
requires a dictionary, and that dictionary must have a single key matching the
name of the resource.
::

    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant.example.com'
    ...           '/config/display_name',
    ...           dict(display_name='Your List'),
    ...           'PUT')
    content-length: 0
    date: ...
    server: ...
    status: 204

    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant.example.com'
    ...           '/config/display_name')
    display_name: Your List
    http_etag: ...

PATCH works the same way, with the same effect, so you can choose to use
either method.

    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant.example.com'
    ...           '/config/display_name',
    ...           dict(display_name='Their List'),
    ...           'PATCH')
    content-length: 0
    date: ...
    server: ...
    status: 204

    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant.example.com'
    ...           '/config/display_name')
    display_name: Their List
    http_etag: ...


Acceptable aliases
------------------

These are recipient aliases that can be used in the ``To:`` and ``CC:``
headers instead of the posting address.  They are often used in forwarded
emails.  By default, a mailing list has no acceptable aliases.

    >>> from mailman.interfaces.mailinglist import IAcceptableAliasSet
    >>> IAcceptableAliasSet(mlist).clear()
    >>> transaction.commit()
    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/'
    ...           'ant@example.com/config/acceptable_aliases')
    acceptable_aliases: []
    http_etag: "..."

We can add a few by ``PUT``-ing them on the sub-resource.  The keys in the
dictionary are ignored.

    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/'
    ...           'ant@example.com/config/acceptable_aliases',
    ...           dict(acceptable_aliases=['foo@example.com',
    ...                                    'bar@example.net']),
    ...           'PUT')
    content-length: 0
    date: ...
    server: WSGIServer/...
    status: 204

You can get all the mailing list's acceptable aliases through the REST API.

    >>> response = call_http(
    ...     'http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/'
    ...     'ant@example.com/config/acceptable_aliases')
    >>> for alias in response['acceptable_aliases']:
    ...     print(alias)
    bar@example.net
    foo@example.com

The mailing list has its aliases set.

    >>> from mailman.interfaces.mailinglist import IAcceptableAliasSet
    >>> aliases = IAcceptableAliasSet(mlist)
    >>> for alias in sorted(aliases.aliases):
    ...     print(alias)
    bar@example.net
    foo@example.com

The aliases can be removed by using ``DELETE``.

    >>> response = call_http(
    ...     'http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/'
    ...     'ant@example.com/config/acceptable_aliases',
    ...     method='DELETE')
    content-length: 0
    date: ...
    server: WSGIServer/...
    status: 204

Now the mailing list has no aliases.

    >>> aliases = IAcceptableAliasSet(mlist)
    >>> print(len(list(aliases.aliases)))
    0


Header matches
--------------

Mailman can do pattern based header matching during its normal rule
processing.  Each mailing list can also be configured with a set of header
matching regular expression rules.  These can be used to impose list-specific
header filtering with the same semantics as the global ``[antispam]`` section,
or to have a different action.

The list of header matches for a mailing list are returned on the
``header-matches`` child of this list.

    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant.example.com'
    ...           '/header-matches')
    http_etag: "..."
    start: 0
    total_size: 0

New header matches can be created by POSTing to the resource.
::

    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant.example.com'
    ...           '/header-matches', {
    ...           'header': 'X-Spam-Flag',
    ...           'pattern': '^Yes',
    ...           })
    content-length: 0
    ...
    location: .../3.0/lists/ant.example.com/header-matches/0
    ...
    status: 201

    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant.example.com'
    ...           '/header-matches/0')
    header: x-spam-flag
    http_etag: "..."
    pattern: ^Yes
    position: 0
    self_link: http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant.example.com/header-matches/0

To follow the global antispam action, the header match rule must not specify
an ``action`` key, which names the chain to jump to if the rule matches.  If
the default antispam action is changed in the configuration file and Mailman
is restarted, those rules will get the new jump action.  If a specific action
is desired, the ``action`` key must name a valid chain to jump to.
::

    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant.example.com'
    ...           '/header-matches', {
    ...           'header': 'X-Spam-Status',
    ...           'pattern': '^Yes',
    ...           'action': 'discard',
    ...           })
    content-length: 0
    ...
    location: .../3.0/lists/ant.example.com/header-matches/1
    ...
    status: 201

    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant.example.com'
    ...           '/header-matches/1')
    action: discard
    header: x-spam-status
    http_etag: "..."
    pattern: ^Yes
    position: 1
    self_link: http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant.example.com/header-matches/1

The resource can be changed by PATCHing it.  The ``position`` key can be used
to change the priority of the header match in the list.  If it is not supplied,
the priority is not changed.
::

    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant.example.com'
    ...           '/header-matches/1',
    ...           dict(pattern='^No', action='accept'),
    ...           'PATCH')
    content-length: 0
    date: ...
    server: ...
    status: 204
    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant.example.com'
    ...           '/header-matches/1')
    action: accept
    header: x-spam-status
    http_etag: "..."
    pattern: ^No
    position: 1
    self_link: http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant.example.com/header-matches/1

    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant.example.com'
    ...           '/header-matches/1',
    ...           dict(position=0),
    ...           'PATCH')
    content-length: 0
    date: ...
    server: ...
    status: 204
    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant.example.com'
    ...           '/header-matches')
    entry 0:
        action: accept
        header: x-spam-status
        http_etag: "..."
        pattern: ^No
        position: 0
        self_link: .../lists/ant.example.com/header-matches/0
    entry 1:
        header: x-spam-flag
        http_etag: "..."
        pattern: ^Yes
        position: 1
        self_link: .../lists/ant.example.com/header-matches/1
    http_etag: "..."
    start: 0
    total_size: 2

The PUT method can replace an entire header match.  The ``position`` key is
optional; if it is omitted, the order will not be changed.
::

    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant.example.com'
    ...           '/header-matches/1',
    ...           dict(header='X-Spam-Status',
    ...                pattern='^Yes',
    ...                action='hold',
    ...           ), 'PUT')
    content-length: 0
    date: ...
    server: ...
    status: 204

    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant.example.com'
    ...           '/header-matches/1')
    action: hold
    header: x-spam-status
    http_etag: "..."
    pattern: ^Yes
    position: 1
    self_link: http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant.example.com/header-matches/1

A header match can be removed using the DELETE method.
::

    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant.example.com'
    ...           '/header-matches/1',
    ...           method='DELETE')
    content-length: 0
    ...
    status: 204

    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant.example.com'
    ...           '/header-matches')
    entry 0:
        action: accept
        header: x-spam-status
        http_etag: "..."
        pattern: ^No
        position: 0
        self_link: .../lists/ant.example.com/header-matches/0
    http_etag: "..."
    start: 0
    total_size: 1

The mailing list's header matches can be cleared by issuing a DELETE request on
the top resource.
::

    >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/ant.example.com'
    ...           '/header-matches',
    ...           method='DELETE')
