Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 3797
EZMLM should not exchange valid reply-to's (Discussion Services)
Last modified: 2021-05-27 19:28:25 UTC
When sending a mail to an Issuezilla mailing list (for example, users@openoffice.org), which contain a valid reply-to field (for example: dev@dba.openoffice.org), this field is exchanged with the address of the list itself. This makes it extremly difficult (up to: impossible) to move people to the right list. Just inviting the people by saying "please discuss this in qa@b.openoffice.org" is simply not enough - nobody will do. As a result, lists become overcrowsed by the time, whilest others (such as dev@dba :) stay nearly empty, though there would be enough to discuss there ... I understand the reason why ezlm inserts a reply-to if none is present, but I stronlgy suggest that it should not touch any existing reply-to's, the more if they are directed to yet another openoffice mailing list.

changed subcomponent.
Is there a chance that this will be cared for?
Will do some reaserch and update as soon. Priya.
This enhancement has been requested by some other customers too. Our product management currently moved the target milestone to "plan - truckee 3". I have added additional information to PCN 7105 about this issue. Next Update: Will update as soon as i get additional information on this. - Priya.
Updating Whiteboard.
Changing issue as enhancement.
Marking this issue Resolved Later as it has been assigned to a target milestone. Updating whiteboard to reflect the target of Plan- Danube. Support will check on this issue regularly for additional updates. Thanks, Kristen
According to the status whiteboard entry this issue is planned or targeted for Danube. In preparation of the upgrade we should see a confirmation that the issues will be resolved in CEE 3.5.1. Please set the target milestone accordingly.
It is not addressed in Danube. This is targeted for inclusion in the New Discussion Services (few releases down). Once we get the confirmation that this feature is already included in that, we will again mark is as RECOLVED->LATER.
The new DS has 3 options for managing the Reply-To field of outbound notifications: 1. Reply-to sender 2. Reply-to list 3. Reply-to other email address (could be another forum/list) Also the - Reply-to may be set on a per-forum basis to be Reply-to-user, Reply-to-forum or Reply-email-address - Reply-to may be overridden on web postings to reply to user or to list. Based on this details provided we are resolving this issue as resolved fixed.
The mentioned options are all fine. But this issue asks for an option to leave the reply-to header untouched. AFAICS this is (yet) implemented.
AFAICS this is not (yet) implemented.
Stefan , You are correct the original request to not changing the reply-to header if there already one set in the mail is something i need to check in the discussion forum . Let me have a look at the current implementation for DS and get back to you with the details . -Jobin.
This request is actually a two-part from what i could gather : The ezmlm doesn't inserts a reply-to if none is present also it should not touch any existing reply-to's. 1) This can done in the current EZMLM setting itself . Need clarification on two points . i) Do you need this setting done for a particular mailing list or set of mailing list or the entire site as a whole . Answer needed from 0o: Stefan or the community leaders to reply back for this question . ii) The community fully understands the consequence of performing such a operation . Answer needed from Oo: Stefan or the community leaders to reply back for this question iii)Whether if we perform this changes to a list/lists/whole site would the same be retained while migrating to Discussion Forum . Answer from collab: This is a point which shall we taken care in the migration to the new tool . 2) The reply-to should not be changed if they are directed to yet another openoffice mailing list. Answer from collab:This setting can/could be performed in the current mailing list and would be retained in migration to the new DF tool .

st: ping Worse than replacing the reply-to header, It *adds* another reply-to header to mails already containing a valid one, creating invalid messages that are rejected by some gateways. The most non-disturbing solution would be to not replace the Reply-To, but if configured to use one: * Add it only if not present * *Append* the list if there is already a reply-to header
To CRM
Confirmed that the migration to the new Discussion Service would be taking into the factor the below points : * Add it only if not present * *Append* the list if there is already a reply-to header However after the completion of the migration we would like the project owners or moderators of their respective list to check the validity of their list as part of their testing . Moving this issue to the resolved later queue .
Hi This feature is fixed in Rubicon and I have verified the same on a test box carrying the latest version. I shall close this case for now. Please feel free to re-open, if the functionality does not satisfy your expectation when site gets upgraded to Rubicon version of CEE. Regards, Vathsan Support Operations.
Re-opening the issue.
Marking the issue as Resolved LATER.
CollabNet Support is currently reviewing the issues under Resolved-Later. If the issues are fixed currently in any of the present CEE releases, then it will be marked as Resolved-Fixed. There might be a few issues which might not be in our future roadmap which might be closed as Wontfix unless it does not lie under any custom request.
Marking it as fixed since it is available in CEE 5.0
